Perfection, Chapter 8A - Moonshine
Abby sat on the bench. She wasn't really mad at Carter, well she was but it felt odd. It was their first real argument but he didn't mean it. She wandered back to County General to find him and apologise.
Susan wandered down the river. It was 6am in Paris, so it would be 1am in Chicago. Luka was still in bed but she couldn't sleep. The reception staff in the hotel had given her a very wierd look when she walked out all wrapped up in her coat and scarf. But she figured they'd get over it.
She couldn't believe what Abby had told her just a few hours ago. Her cell phone had rung at 2am and she'd actually answered it. Half asleep she'd listened to Abby telling her how she was pregnant and her and Carter were engaged. She was shocked. Susan never thought Carter would be the type to settle down so soon into a relationship.
But been in love with Abby for so long she thought. And she is a sweet girl. Susan really liked Abby but there was a small part of her which envied her. She always thought she'd at least get a chance with Carter but now she was with Luka and Carter was with Abby there wasn't much chance of that.
Carter walked up onto the roof, he found Abby exactly where he expected to. She was leaning on the railings, one hand in her pocket, the other holding a cigarette. He wished she'd give up but then he'd have to quit with her.
"You wanna give me one?" he asked.
"That's what got us into this mess in the first place!" she retorted then turned around. "Sorry, John I didn't mean that."
She saw the look on his face, he was devastated. "John, please. That just came out, I swear I didn't mean to say it."
"Abby, it's ok. I know I shouldn't have done what I did but I just love you so much I want everyone to know how happy I am."
"I know and I love you too. More than ever now. But we hadn't discussed this baby properly. We hadn't talked about what we're going to do."
She looked down, she wanted the baby so much but she didn't know what was stopping her.
"What? You mean? No Abby, I want this baby and I know you do too so don't even think about that."
"I'm not, well not seriously, it's just. I don't know, there's something at the back of my mind worrying me and I can't put my finger on it. I couldn't bear it if anything happened to this baby, which is why I didn't want to tell everyone straight away. I mean we haven't even had an ultrasound yet. I haven't told Maggie, you haven't told you parents."
"I've told Gamma."
"I know, I was with you remember?" she joked. End of conversation. She put her arms around his waist. "So am I forgiven for being such a bitch?"
He kissed her forehead softly and pulled her into his chest. "What do you think?"
He looked up at the moon and noticed it was a full moon. It was beautiful.
