Abby is sleeping when two female doctors enter her room.
"Miss Lockhart?" one of them asks softly.
Abby, half asleep wakes up rubbing her eyes. "Hmmm?"
"Hi I'm Dr. Johansen and this is Dr. Whatley. I'm going to be your social service worker and Dr. Whatley is going to be your OB. We need to ask you some questions, like why were you drinking if you knew you were."
Abby interrupts, "OB? Why do I need an OB? Why was I drinking if I knew I was what?"
"I'm assuming you don't know," says Dr. Johansen
"I don't know what?! Tell me already," says Abby, getting kind of annoyed.
"That your pregnant," says Dr. Whatley.
"Excuse me," says Abby. "I can't be, it's.it's.impossible."
"Have you been sexually active within the past six weeks?" asks Dr. Johansen.
"Well yeah, but.we were careful, really careful."
"Well, your weren't careful enough because you are indeed pregnant. Well, that explains why you were drinking knowing you were pregnant because you didn't know. But now that you do know you need to stop immediately. You're a nurse so I'm sure you know it isn't good for your baby," says Dr. Johansen.
"Yes of course I know that," snaps Abby. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be a snot, I'm just in shock that's all."
"I imagine you would be, but didn't you notice you were late?" ask Dr. Whatley
"Not really, my periods are irregular sometimes so I thought it was just a little off this month. I can't believe this. On top of all the other crap I've been going through now I'm pregnant."
"So this isn't happy news then?"
"No, this baby belongs to my ex-boyfriend. I have a new boyfriend now. As of today actually. He just gave me this ring see."
Abby takes off her new ring and shows it to Dr. Whatley.
"Read the inside."
Dr. Whatley and Dr. Johansen read the inside of Abby's ring.
"Carter, as in John Carter?" asks Dr. Whatley?"
"Yeah that's the one." Abby beams.
"Wow you sure are lucky to get him!"
"Yeah, I really am, but when he finds out I'm pregnant with Luka's baby I don't know if he is still gonna.gonna.wanna be with me." Abby's voice is cracking. She is choking back tears. One escapes and slips down her chin. "Don't say anything to him yet, please. I need to find my own way. And talk this over with a very good friend of mine."
"Don't worry, we've got doctor/patient confidentiality going on, we won't say a word," says Dr. Whatley. "Hey wait, did you say Luka? Your not talking about Luka Kovac are you?"
"Yeah that's him, why?"
"That slimeball! He's too much of a ladies man. I umm was involved with him for awhile, but thankfully I realized what a jerk he was and I broke it off."
"He's not so bad. We're still friends, but I just don't love him. I love Carter. He's.He's my hero."
"If he really loves you, he'll understand. He knows Luka's in your past. He knows you love him now right?"
"Yeah, he does."
"Then hopefully he will understand. We're going to let you rest now. Here's our cards." Both Dr. Johansen and Dr. Whatley hand Abby a card. "If you need anything at all let us know. I'll be back tomorrow to start your prenatal work-up. See you then!"
Dr. Whatley and Dr. Johansen leave the room. Abby rolls over on her side and begins to cry heavily yet again. "What am I gonna do."
"Wot are you going to do about wot?" asks Elizabeth, who has just entered the room.
Abby rolls over and looks at Elizabeth with tears streaming down her face.
"Oh Elizabeth..."
