~Abby's apartment- 6:34a.m.~

John woke up to the cries of his daughter. His strong arms were wrapped around Abby as she slept. He didn't want to disturb that perfect moment but he had to attend to his daughter's cries. He slowly moved Abby off of him and laid her back on the couch. John jogged down the hall and quietly shut the door to Mirella's bedroom, so that she would not wake Abby.

John looked at the baby and put his hands inside the crib to pick her up. He laid her in his right arm to calm her crying. Mirella smiled at Carter. "I know what you just did.." He sniffed the air. "Yep, I was right." He sighed and laid her down on the changing table. After she was all cleaned up he again cradled her in his right arm and walked out the door into the living room. Abby was sitting up on the couch wrapped in a blanket.

Abby: "Hi there" she said in a high voice to Mirella

Carter looked down at Mirella and she grabbed his pointer finger and held onto it. He sat down next to Abby.

John: "Is it a little chilly in here to you?"

Abby: "Is this your way of making me give you the blanket?"

They laughed

John: "No..I really think it something is wrong with the heat.."

Abby: "I think its just cause you're sitting there in your boxers."

They laughed again and looked down at his American flag underwear.

Abby got up to get a sweater for their daughter. She came back and put it on her. It was one that Kerry had gotten for her. It was light pink with dark pink flowers on it. Mirella now had so many things because most of the ER staff had each gotten her something.

John: "Crap, I'm on in an hour."

Abby sighed and John got up and put his clothes on.

John: "Alright, I'll see you later!"

Abby gave John a quick peck on the lips and he gently touched Mirella's hand as he speed walked down the hall because he had to go home, change and shower before going into work.

Abby brought Mirella into the kitchen to have her breakfast. Mirella happily drank down her bottle. Abby then brought her daughter into her room. She changed her diaper and placed her in her crib then went to get dressed. In the middle of getting dressed the phone rang, but Abby decided to just let the machine pick up. It was hard to find something that would fit her because her closet was filled with maternity clothes and clothes she could wear before she was pregnant, however she hadn't lost all the weight, so they didn't fit her either. She finally found something that she had never worn because it was a little big.

Abby went into Mirella's nursery. She put her on the changing table. She put on this cute little pink outfit with matching socks. She then went into the kitchen and pressed the play button on the answering machine.

"Hello Ms. Lockhart, I just wanted to inform you that there is a heat problem in the building, please find another place to be today and tomorrow because it will get very cold later on. Thanks; give me a call back if you want. The number is 292-4587. Bye."

Abby: "Damn it." She said deleting the message.

She went into her room with Mirella and put her on the middle of the bed so she wouldn't roll off. Abby got an outfit for the next day, her coat, a brush, her tooth brush, pajama's, a little make-up and put it all in a small overnight bag. Then they went into the nursery, Abby again put Mirella down but this time in was in her crib. She gathered an outfit for the next day, a sweater, pants, her coat, hat, and gloves. She put the outfit in her diaper bag which was filled with all the other things she would need. The two went into the kitchen, got some bottles, which also went into the diaper bag, and then went off to John's apartment.

~ER~

John and Peter were working on a 60 year old woman that had inhaled a little too much paint fumes while painting a room for her granddaughter.

Peter: "Alright, she's stable now.do you want me to go talk to the family?"

John: "sure, if you want to."

He walked out with out a word and over to the family.

Peter: "Ms. Berretta?"

The woman nodded as she stood up out of her seat.

Peter: "Hi, You're mother is stable right now, but she's in a coma, as soon as she wakes up we will be able to know if there is going to be damage to her brain. However, she may not come out of it for hours, days or even months."

Ms. Berretta hugged her son, who was around 4 years old but he was a smart boy and he knew that his mother was hurting. Ms. Berretta's daughter came around the corner with a Pepsi in her hand. She saw her mother crying and rushed over.

Peter walked away to give the family some time together.

Ms. Berretta: "Can we see her?"

Peter: "uh sure, come with me." He led them into trauma 1.

Ms. Berretta: "she looks like she's asleep..but she's not.." She said brushing tears off her cheek.

Her daughter comforted her.

Abby walked through the familiar doors of the ER. The first person she saw was Kerry who was going out to meet an ambulence.

Kerry: "Hey Abby, Hey you!" She said rubbing the baby's fist.

Abby: "Hi Kerry, do you know where John is?"

She shook her head "I gotta go"

Abby: "K, I'll see you later"

Abby walked up to the nurses station.

Yosh: "Aw!"

Abby smiled "Thanks, do you know where John is?"

Yosh: "Hang on, I'll go find him"

He went off to look for Carter. While Abby was waiting, many of the ER staff came over to say hello before rushing off to help someone. Suddenly there was a huge bang coming from down the hall. They all looked and heard somebody scream. Susan, Abby, and Yosh ran down to where the sound came from. Susan was first to turn into the room.

"OH MY GOD!" She screamed

On the floor in a puddle of blood, wood, and broken glass was John Carter.
