"I'm pregnant Elizabeth. When will my streak of rotten luck end? First it's my mom, then Luka and I break up, then I lose my apartment, then I go out and almost kill myself with too much alcohol, then when I think everything will be happy with Carter, I find out I'm pregnant with Luka's baby. Now Carter won't want anything to do with me. When he finds out I'm having Luka's baby it'll all be over between us."
Abby wipes the many tears that are now streaming down her face off with the back of her hand. Elizabeth hands her a tissue. Abby blows her nose loudly. Abby and Elizabeth both laugh. Elizabeth walks over to Abby, puts her arm around her and says, "Listen, John is downstairs just beaming. He's thrilled to death to finally be your boyfriend. Your all he's talking about. He loves you and he'll understand. It's in the past, you can't change your past or the fact that your pregnant, but you can make you and your future with Carter last. He'll be there for you because he loves you."
"You really think so?"
"I KNOW so."
Carter, who was outside the door the entire time Elizabeth and Abby were talking enters the room. "She's right you know. I do love you. I wouldn't care if it was Luka or Romano's baby. I love you and I'm not going to let anything come between us and I'm going to love your, no.our baby. You don't even have to tell Luka it's his. Maybe it's not his anyway. It COULD be mine, you know. We did have that one night where you ended up at my place and we."
"Yeah I know but Luka and I.had more nights than just one."
"I know but how many weeks along are you?"
"Six"
"And I think it was just about six weeks ago when we."
"Yeah it was six weeks ago.exactly almost."
Elizabeth is standing there in total shock. "Ahem, in case you haven't noticed I'm still here. This is just my opinion; you can do what you guys want. But you need to just fess up to Luka about the.night you two had. Tell him your certain, it's Carter's baby. Then tell him even if it isn't you don't care. In your eyes, Carter is the father of your baby. He's not the type to try to fight custody I don't think. Although, he is still in love with you Abby, so he might. But my advice is to tell him that. See what happens from there."
"Yeah, I guess that's our best bet," says Abby. "Elizabeth I don't mean to be rude but."
"You and Carter need to be alone. Right. I know. I'm going. I have a surgery in a half hour anyway. I was supposed to be in prep 5 minutes ago. Romano is going to yell at me." Her pager goes off. "See there he is now. I better go."
"Bye. And Elizabeth?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for your advice. It..it really means a lot. To both of us."
"Your quite welcome."
Elizabeth exits the room. Carter pulls up a chair and puts it next to Abby. He grabs her right hand. The hand the ring is on. The couple link fingers. John plays with her ring with the other hand. "I love you Abby. I love you and Baby Who."
Abby smiles and looks up at John, tears in her eyes. "Thank you, John, I love you too. Thank you for loving me enough to understand about my stupid mistakes. You're the best boyfriend and friend I could ever ask for. I'm so glad I have you."
There's a knock at the door. "Come in," say Abby and Carter, in unison.
Someone walks in. Abby and Carter exchange glances. "Hello Luka." says Abby.
