**************************************************************************** *******

Recap: Carter has left for work and he and Abby have said I love you. Abby is going to meet Hayley later on to tell her the news.

A couple of hours had passed since Carter and Abby had seen each other and Abby has just showed of for work.

"Hey Abby, can you help me in exam room2" Luka asked her.

"Yea, sure just let me get changed in the scrubs and I will." Abby responded back.

"Ok."

A few minutes later Abby walked into the exam room and started to help Luka.

"Ok, now nurse Abby is going to give you a band aide and then you can go ok?" Luka said to the little boy who had cut his arm playing on a swing.

"Ok, now don't take this band aide off, because if you do it could get infected and you don't won't want that do you? She asked the little boy.

"No, ma'am, I won't take it off I promise." He said smiling at her.

"Ok, bye"

"Bye." He said waving to her as he left the room.

"You have been looking at your watch a lot since you walked in here, got some where else to be?" Luka asked her.

"No, I am meeting someone and I am just making sure that I won't be late, so I keep checking my watch to see what time it is." Abby explained to him, then she saw Carter in the hallway, "Well I will see you around I see somebody I need to talk to."

"Ok, see you around Abby." He smiled to her, even though she wasn't looking at him anymore.

Abby walked out of the exam room and went straight to Carter.

"Hey." She said once she got close enough for him to here her.

"Hey." He said back with a smile.

"Having a good day so far?" She asked him while returning the smile.

"Well, it wasn't going to good since I left your apartment, but now that you have showed up I would say the day just got better again." He said to her still smiling.

"Oh really, my day has gotten better to, I just hope it stays like that."

"You must be meeting Hayley today."

"Yep, as soon as she gets out of school, when do kids get out of school these days?" She asked him.

"I don't know maybe 3:00 or so, I have know idea." He said to her, "Is she meeting you after she gets out of school?"

"Yep, I told her to come by here and find me, when she gets out."

"Well I have to see a patient, want to get something to eat on break." He asked her.

"Yea, that will be fine."

"Love you." He said to her.

"Love you to." She said back to him.

Things got busy and the only time Carter got to see Abby again alone was on their break together at Doc magoo's.

"It has been one busy day." She said to him.

"Yea it has, I am exhausted, and the good thing is I only have an hour left and I am gone." Carter responded back.

"Well I have two hours left, plus meeting with Hayley and I am also very tired myself I have been tired all day long ever since this morning." She said to him.

"Oh really, well tonight I will give a real good massage ok."

"Sounds good to me."

They were interrupted when the waitress brought them their food, they really didn't speak much just small talk they mostly concentrated on their food.

"Well I am full." Abby finally said to Carter.

"Me too." Carter said as he stretched back and put his hands on his stomach

"I can see that." Abby said while laughing at what he was doing.

"I think we should be heading back to the ER."

"Yea, Hayley should show soon its 2:30 now." Abby said looking at her watch.

"Ok, lets go." He said sliding out of the booth and the same time Abby was and then he took her hand they walked hand in hand back to the ER.

Not to long after Abby got back someone paged Abby and said that there was someone here to see her.

"Who is here to see me, Frank?" She asked him.

"Over there, sitting in the chairs, she is a pretty girl" He said while pointing over there.

Abby turned around and saw Hayley sitting in the chairs. Then turned back and gave him a death stare.

"Hey, Hayley." She said to her nervously.

"Hey, I don't have long I have practice."

"Ok let me go tell them I am taking a break, hold on."

"Ok."

A minute passed back and Abby returned.

"Let's go to Doc Magoos it's right across the street." Abby said to her.

"Ok let's go." Hayley said back.

After they got there they sat at a booth and both ordered ice cream.

"So do you have the papers?" Hayley finally asked Abby after the Waitress had brought them their ice cream.

"Yea, here you go." Abby said as she handing Hayley the papers.

A few minutes passed as Hayley read the results.

"So, I am your daughter?" Hayley said, not sure of what else to say to her.

"Yep, appears that way." Abby said to her with a little smile.

"So where do we go from here?" She asked Abby nervously.

"I have no idea, but I do think that you need to tell your parents that you found out who was your birth mom." Abby said back to her

"I know I should, but I am scared to, they wouldn't like the idea that I went behind their backs and found my birth mom." She said to her.

"Well, Hayley, we can't go on meeting behind their backs." Abby responded.

"I know, I know."

Abby looked up and saw Carter standing there.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked him.

"Nothing I don't mean to interrupt I just want to tell you that I am leaving and I will see you when you get home ok." Carter said as he bent down and kissed her on the cheek. "I love you." He said to her after the kiss.

"See you then, Love you to." Abby said to him while smiling.

"Nice seeing you again Hayley." Carter said to her.

"Nice seeing you too, Carter." Hayley said to him.

"Bye girls."

"Bye." Abby and Hayley both said at the same time.

"Are you dating him?" Hayley asked Abby after he had left.

"Yes I am." Abby said while smiling.

"He is cute."

"Yea he is." Abby said still smiling.

"You must be really in love, because you haven't stopped smiling since he came and left."

"Yea I think I have finally found the one I have been looking for." She said to her.

"Did you love my father?" Hayley asked her.

"Yea I did, he was my first love, but after he found out I was pregnant he left me so that went out the window." Abby said was laughing a little.

"Yea sounds like it." Hayley said also laughing some.

"Are you involved with anyone?" she asked her daughter.

"No, I am free and staying like that for awhile, I don't need a guy right now." Hayley responded with a laugh.

"Sounds good." Abby said back with a laugh also.

"Well I need to go I have practice in 30 mins." Hayley said getting up.

"Yea, I need to get back to work, I guess I will see you later." Abby said.

"Yea I guess so." Hayley said to her.

They hugged each other for a moment.

"Bye Hayley."

"Bye."
