Carter once again stayed the night with Abby. He knew that she needed him to stay there with her.
The alarm went off at 7:00 and Abby reached over to cut it off even though the alarm was set for Carter instead of her.
The alarm woke Carter up, "How long have you been up?" he asked her as he put his arms around her.
"Well lets see off and on all night, couldn't really sleep much." She said followed by a yawn.
"Are you really ok, and tell me the truth" he asked with concern in his voice.
"Yea I am just shocked, even though I shouldn't be, I mean I knew what the answer would be, its just scary knowing the answer now, I guess, this makes no sense, does it?" she responded back.
"Yes, strangely enough it does make sense." He said while laughing a little bit just trying to make her laugh some.
"Funny Carter, real funny." She said in a serious tone, but couldn't hold it and burst into laughter.
"Abby…I have been wanting to say this for a long time." He began to say but Abby interrupted him.
"What is it?" she said interrupting him.
"I was fixing to say it until you interrupted me." He said smiling
"Sorry please continue." She said back while sitting up in the bed, which Carter did the same thing.
"Abby I love you, I have known that for a long time I should have said it much sooner but I was being a fool and I regret not telling you the day I realized it, but being with you right now makes me realize how much I love you and need you in my life and how much we need each other and I want you to know one more thing I will never let you go, you make my life complete." Cupping her face with his hands, "Abby I love you."
"I love you too, I have falling more in love with these past couple days because you have helped through this ordeal of mine and I wouldn't have made it through any of this without you, you are everything to me, and I will never let you go either." She said back through the happy tears that were sliding down her cheeks.
"I am so happy right now.' Carter said.
"Me too." She said before she kissed him.
"But I hate to say this but…"
"You have to go to work." She said finishing his sentence.
"Yep, I am going to jump in the shower, ok." He said kissing her once again and then getting up.
"I am going to take care of something ok."
"Ok, love you." He said and he couldn't help but smile at her.
"Love you too." She said back also smiling at him.
Abby kept on smiling at the bathroom door for a minute then realizing what she was doing she laughed at herself and got up and put some clothes on and went to find Hayley's number. After she found the number she sat down and was trying to get her courage together to call her. Finally she got it together and picked up the phone and dialed the number hoping she was still there.
"Hello?" Someone answered after a couple of rings.
"Is Hayley there?" Abby asked nervously.
"Yea, I don't think she has left for school yet, is this someone from the school?" the woman asked Abby.
"Yea, I am a friend of Hayley's and I needed to ask her a question." That was all Abby could think of.
"Ok, let me get her."
Abby could her in the background, "Hayley there is someone on the phone for you, its one of your friends." Then she could here Hayley say back, "Ok, I am coming."
A few seconds later Hayley picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Hey, its Abby, I got the results back last night."
"Oh, have you opened them?" Hayley asked nervously.
"Yea, I couldn't wait, can your mom here us?" Abby felt strange saying that last part knowing she was really her mom.
"I think she went outside, so you opened them without me?" She asked getting a little bit upset.
"I had to know when they brought them to my house it was too late for you to come over and I had to know the results." Abby said hearing the anger in Hayley's voice.
"Oh, well that makes it better." Hayley said back sarcastically.
"Well I am sorry I didn't think you would get upset."
"Well I would have liked us to be together when we read the results." Still showing anger in her voice.
"Ok, I am truly sorry Hayley I really am ok?"
"Ok I am sorry for getting mad I just nervous I guess."
"Its ok, do you want to know the results now or do you want to meet after school or something?" Abby asked her.
"Um, well I don't want to find out over the phone so I guess we can meet after I get out of school."
"Ok, you can call me when you get out, I will be at the hospital, so call the ER or just come by and ask for me I will have the results with me, how does that sound?" She asked hoping that was all right with her.
"Yep that's fine with me, I will see you then, I got to go." Hayley responded back.
"See you then bye Hayley."
"Bye."
After Abby clicked off she sat there for a few minutes and then Carter walked into the kitchen.
"Everything ok?" He asked her.
"Yea everything is ok, don't you need to get to work." She asked him back.
"Why Abby, do you want me to leave?" He asked her back.
"No I don't but I don't want Weaver getting mad at you." She said while getting up and wrapping her arms around him.
"Well I guess you are right, I will see you later ok." He said then he gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.
"Ok see you at work." She said after the kiss, and walked with him to the door.
"I love you Abby." He said smiling that smile that Abby loved so much.
"I love you to." She couldn't help but smile at him too as she watched him walk out the apartment building.
Abby smiled to herself and she has been finding herself doing that a lot lately and she wasn't complaining because she was happy and she was hoping it would stay like that for a while.
