CARTER:
"Hey, I'm back with lunch." I smile and lean down and kiss Abby on the forhead to wake her up from her nap on the lounge couch.
"Hey." she smiled at me sleepily." get Ice cream?"
"yeah." I smile and look down at the stack of charts next to her."Are these all your patients?"
"No, no. Kerry doesn't want me to do too much work since Im only a week from my due date."
"You should be at home."
"No way. I'd miss you too much."
"Funny. but you should be at home ya know, why do you have all these charts then?"
"I get to co-sign them for the nurses."
"Oh joy."
"Did you get my Oreos too?"
"Oh god, I'm so sorry. You want me to run and get some?"
"Would you?" She begs me.
"I'll be right back."
You know, ever since she's told me she was pregnant, I've been her slave. She always wants ice cream, or always needs cookies. It's torture! Although I do get rewarded....But Soon it'll be over and we'll both be much happier. Especially her. God, I wonder how it feels to give birth. Wait. no I don't. I deliver 4 babies on a daily basis...I never wanna go through that.
"Where the hell are the Oreos?"
ABBY:
He does so much for me, god. I love him. He's been so patient for the past nine months. I really feel bad for him though, it's been that long since we've had sex.. poor him..POOR ME! Well, In eight more days, i'll make him a happy man. It's so funny watching him curl up on the couch and make whimpering noises when were watching romance movies together. Then he gives me the puppy dog eyes until I turn on the football game to "calm him down."
God, I hate doing charts, when did I volunteer for this? oh, thats right. I didn't Weaver made me. Man, I'm sitting here and I feel like I'm sweating.Oh god... that's not sweat on my scrub pants. My water just broke.
"Carter!" I'm such a dumbass, he's not here.. but Luka is right there.. should I? Dammit!"Luka?"
"What?"
"My water broke, can you rush me upstairs?" I say quickley and scared.
"yeah." HE says as he grabs a wheelchair and rolls me to the elevator and up to OB.
"Anything else?" he asks
"Call Carter." I say as I'm wheeled away.
CARTER:
there are som any different kinds of Oreos here. Reduced fat.. regular..spring time.. Double Stuffed. Double Stuffed it is!
"Dammit. I'm not on call why is county paging me?" I say under my breath as I walk to the manager and ask to use the phone. He points me to phone and I dial. Susan picks Up.
"County General."
"Susan, It's Carter."
"hold on, I'll give you Luka."
"Luka? Why-"
"Carter get over here quick."
"What?"
"Abby's having the baby..hello?"
I dropped the cookies and ran as fast as I could. I am gonna be a daddy in a few hours. Oh my god! I jump on the EL as soon as it pulls up to the platform and ride it back to the hospital and run up to OB as fast as my legs carried me.
ABBY:
" Don't push too hard, just a little bit."
"No! Carter wanted to deliver the baby!"
"Abby your making this so hard!"
"It is!" I yell at the doctor. asI turn my head, I see him through the window, he's scrubbing in. He pushes open the doors and walks to my side and sits down.
"Well, Dr. Carter. I'll stand over here, Is there anyone I should call to assist you?"
"umm.." He turned to me and I nod." get me Dr. Lewis and Chuny Marquez."
"Okay." Dr. Coburn says as she begins to dial the number down to the ER.
"She's only five centimeter dialated...so you have some time."
"thank you." I manage to smile.
"You should've stayed a surgeon." I whisper as I play with the fabric of his scrubs.
"why?"
"Because you're really hot in a surgeons cap and blue scrubs."
"Thanks, but I think the hormones are talking."
"Maybe." I lean back and close my eyes.
"You want an epidural?"
"No, John."
"Okay, Okay." he put his hands up in surrender.
"Ow dammit!"
CARTER:
Shes squeezing my hand really hard..ouch. God, she's freakishly strong!
"What? Ouch, are you having contractions?"
"Yeah" She said struggling and then relaxing."
"You okay now?" I ask as I slide to the end of the bed and put on some gloves as I check her dialation."Well, now."
"Well now what?"
"We're ready to deliver."
"Susan and Chuny better get here soon. I'm gonna kick Susan's ass!" aLl I can do is shrug and laugh at that comment.
"Hey, did some one call for me?" Susan smiled as she walked in with Chuny.
ABBY:
" Is she fully dialated?" Susan asked.
"Yeah" Carter smiled.
"Hey, Abby." Chuny said as she sat down next to me and held my hand.
"Thanks Chuny."
"No problem, I live for Lamaz."
"Oh god!" I scream and begin to push.
"Okay, Abby. on three." He looked at me and got in place."One....two....three."
I screamed as loud as I could and pushes as hard as i could I thought I was going to burst, I could feel the red hotness of my face as I breathed.
"And relax." he smiled again." The head is out Abby. one more push.. one.. two.. three!"
I screamed again and pushed again.. suddenly a few seconds later.. I hear crying. It's my baby.
Carter stood up and walked the baby over to me, after he cleaned him off, in a blue blanket."It's a boy." He said as tears streamed down his face and he sat next to me handing me the baby.
"We'll leave you two alone." Susan said dragging Chuny out.
"Congrats!" Chuny yelled as the door slammed behind her.
"I'm so proud of you." he said as he wiped my hair out of my face and leaned in and kissed me.
"Me? You delivered him!" I laugh as the baby tightens his little grip on my finger. His cheeks are so rosy..he looks like John.
"You gave birth. I could never do that."
"True." Say and we sit in silence for a few seconds."His name." I begin.
"Anything you want." He smiles." I know. Eric"
All I could do was smile and nod."I love it.."
"Okay, then." He looked at the baby and rubbed his cheek. "Eric Carter."
"what about all the Johns in the family?"
"Who cares." he laughed. " Im not my father. screw that."
"no. John Eric Carter."
"I like that better." He says." John, like his daddy"
"He looks like you too, Dad."
"Oh no. I hope it's not the nose!" he laughed. and we both laughed as we looked down at our son who let out a little yawn. he's tired, he's been through alot today.
I finally have an answer to the question people always ask.....Yeah, He makes me happy.
"Hey, I'm back with lunch." I smile and lean down and kiss Abby on the forhead to wake her up from her nap on the lounge couch.
