Perfection, Chapter 3 - To The Rest Of Our Life
Susan and Luka walked back up the aisle having taken their vows. They both wore huge grins but Susan had tears staining her face. She felt really silly crying but as she looked around she felt better for seeing she wasn't the only one. Abby was crying quietly, still holding tightly onto Carter's hand, Her sister was sniffing; trying to conceal the fact that she had emotions.
They got into the grounds of the mansion and the sun was shining down. The garden looked beautiful. It was just how Susan had imagined her wedding day to be. Blue skies, people she loved around her and the man she loved by her side. Mrs Luka Kovac but still Dr Lewis. She had the best of both worlds. They had agreed she would stay as Dr Lewis as having two Dr Kovac's would be confusing. It suited both of them down to the ground.
Abby stepped into the sunlight. She was thinking about what Susan had said, "Tonight may be the night" and now she was nervous. Was tonight the night? How was she going to cope with it? How was Carter going to cope with it?
She looked around at the man stood next to her. She loved him so much, and he loved her. What could be better? She felt a little flutter in her stomach. Instinctively she smoothed her hand over her midriff. She couldn't be, could she? Nah, her and John hadn't, not since the lockdown, that was 3 months ago, and she was late...
"Oh no."
"What?" John looked worried.
"Oh, nothing. I just need the bathroom but I don't think I can get out of this dress."
"Need any help?" he said with a wink.
"Ok, tonight is the night! "I'll let you know on that one."
"Alright, just as long as it is me you get help from!"
"Why, who else is it gonna be? Luka?" she told him with a cheeky grin as she let go of his hand and walked back inside.
Two hours later and Carter had finished his best man's speech. "To Susan and Luk and the rest of their life together"
The rest of the guests taised their glasses, "Susan and Luka."
Carter sat down and looked around for Abby, He hadn't seen her for a while now. He got up, "Excuse me." He went up to his and Abby's room. She was laid on the bed asleep. He walked over to her and sat down next to her. She looked so beautiful. Her long, dark, hair was fanned out beneath her head, a faint smile was playing on her lips. Laid on her back she had her knees bent to the side and a hand resting on her stomach.
"Abby?" Carter whispered. "Abby!"
Her eyes flickered open. "Oh, I'm sorry.I was really tired. What time is it?"
He looked at her and then his watch. "4:30. Are you all right?"
"Yeah, of course I'm fine. All the excitement just wore me out."
"Abby, come on. I'm a doctor, I'm not totally stupid."
"Honestly, I'm fine. I'm just tired."
"ABBY!!"
"Oh all right! I'm late."
"Now we're getting somewhere. Have you...?"
"No, I'm kinda still in shock. I only just realised."
"Well I'll go and get a test and we can do it together."
"John." Abby stood up as he turned to leave the room. She walked over to him and kissed him lightly. "I love you so much. We can cope with this right?"
"I love you too Miss Lockhart. We're gonna be ok."
