(written Thursday night)
Okay, just finished watching "Dead Again." All in all, I thought it was a decent episode. Didn't love it, except for certain scenes (guess which). I'm really exhausted because I've been posting in a message board, so I won't bore you with all the boring details. I really should go to sleep, because I will be taking my driving test in 7 and a half hours!! I'm nervous that I won't pass, but all my friends and family are telling me I'll do fine. I'm still nervous though. This chapter incorporated a few small details from "Dead Again" but nothing serious. In case anyone wants to check it out, my website has totally been remodeled. The former "Carter and Abby fan fiction lounge" is now "For Love of the Carby" and you should check it out if you want. The address is http://www.geocities.com/incognito0686. Okay - I'm officially really tired.this week has gone by really fast and next week will go fast too and then is homecoming! I'm trying desperately to get a date for the dance, but it's not working too well, even though I have all my friends helping me. Once again, wish me luck for my driving test and hope I don't fail!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
John went back upstairs and into his room. Thirty minutes later, he emerged and knocked lightly on Abby's door.
"Abby? It's me. Let me in." John called. The door opened a moment later, and what he saw took Carter's breathe away. "Wow."
Abby was standing in the doorway wearing a dark red skirt and black sweater.
"Wow." John just stood there looking at her. "Remember what I said about not wanting to be away from you?"
"Yeah." Abby raised her eyebrow.
"I meant that." John smiled and leaned down to give Abby a long kiss.
"Ready to go?" Abby asked, when they broke apart.
"Yeah. We have to go down and see Gamma first though. She wants to meet you." Carter took Abby's hand as she shut the door to her room and was led down the hallway.
"Wait a second." Abby stopped right before they reached the door. "How did you explain to her that I was here? I mean, why did you tell her I was here?"
"Well she heard us when we came in, and then I told her you were staying here and she was fine with it." John explained.
"Oh." Abby sighed.
"Don't worry." John gave her a small kiss on the cheek before opening the door and leading her through. "Hi Gamma."
"Hello John." Millicent Carter smiled towards her grandson and then turned towards his guest. "You must be Abby. It's nice to finally meet you."
"You too, Mrs. Carter." Abby gave a small smile.
"Please call me Gamma, dear. Mrs. Carter is too formal." Gamma patted the younger woman's hand. "I imagine you two are happy to be out of that dreadful hospital. John, I think you should seriously consider legal action against them for locking you in there for two whole weeks."
"Actually, I think it was a good experience for me." Carter smiled at his grandmother then turned and gave Abby a smile, which she returned.
"Well I don't want to keep you any longer." Gamma smiled, noticing how Carter had been holding Abby's hand the entire time they had been in the room. She could see that he really was happy with this girl. It had never been like this with the others. "I hope we get to know each other better, when you have more time."
"I'd like that." Abby nodded. John kissed his grandmother and then started out of the room with Abby following right behind him. As they reached the door, he held it open for her and then turned and winked at his grandmother before closing it behind him.
As they exited through the front door of the mansion, Abby noticed that John wasn't next to her anymore. She quickly turned to see if he was behind her, but he wasn't there either. All of a sudden she heard what sounded like a car engine, and then in fact, a car did pull up to where she was standing. She gasped when she saw who was sitting in the passenger seat
"Whose car is this?" Abby questioned, as John got out of the car.
"Mine." John smirked. "Well, my family's. Not mine exclusively."
"Wow. I don't know why, but I've always had a thing for old cars."
"Yeah, me too." John looked at the car.
"Well we already knew that." Abby joked and rolled her eyes.
"What?"
"Forget it." Abby chuckled and started walking towards the car
"No. Tell me." John said, crossing his arms in front of him.
"You're so cute when you're trying to be upset."
"Only for you." John bent down and went to kiss Abby, but stopped before their lips actually connected. He pulled away and smiled.
"That was cruel."
"Well you deserved it." Carter opened the door, and ushered Abby in. "Algers, this is Ms. Lockhart. You are going to be seeing a lot of her in the future."
The driver nodded and Abby smiled.
"You're too much."
"I know." John leaned back in his seat and sighed. The next thing he knew, Abby's arms were around his neck and she was pulling him towards her.
"Keep your eyes on the road, Algers." Carter got out before he was too occupied to talk. All of a sudden Carter's pager went off.
"Shit!" He cursed as he dug it out of his pocket.
"ER?" Abby questioned.
"Yeah. Can I borrow your phone?" John asked and dialed in the number when she handed him her cell.
"Randi? It's Carter. Did you page me? No, I'm still off for a few more days. I was there for two weeks and I'm cleared for four more days. No, I can't come in. Fine, put her on the phone." John shook his head while he waited for the phone to be transferred to another person. Abby played with his other hand while he waited. "Kerry listen, I'm exhausted. I know it's my job as chief resident to fill in, but.Kerry.god!"
"What happened?" Abby asked, concerned.
"She hung up on me." John handed back the phone.
"You have to go in?"
"Yeah. Apparently Mercy is closed to traumas so we got them all and now it's swamped and there's no way to get out of it." Carter ran his hand through his hair. "Algers, turn around and take us back to the house."
"Why don't we just go to the hospital?" Abby asked.
"Well you don't want to come. I'll just drop you off and I'll drive in."
"That's silly. We're almost there anyway. Just go ahead."
"You don't mind?"
"No." Abby smiled. "What would a perfect evening be without a trip to the ER."
"You do realize that by arriving together and looking as good as you do right now people are going to realize something is going on."
"So?"
"You ready for this?"
"Sure. Are you?" Abby asked, glancing over at him.
Carter nodded. "I just hope you realize that we are going to be asked a lot of questions and might have to fess up to some things."
"Well then we'll just avoid Chuny and Haleh."
"Easier said than done." John looked out the window and realized they were nearly to the hospital.
"Well at least we'll be together."
"Yeah." They smiled at each other before stepping out of the car when it stopped in the ambulance bay and walking through the doors hand in hand.
