Here's chapter 2! R/R! Thanx for all the awesome reviews. I forgot to mention that….lets just say Eric isn't bi-polar and Abby and him get along very well. Remember………..NO FLAMING!!!!!!!
~Buttercup~
Abby walked over to where Carter was.
"Maggie, you need to leave. I don't want you in my life, John's life, Ceceilla's life or my baby's life. So, please, leave." Abby said firmly.
Maggie ignored the comment and smiled at Ceceilla.
"Hi, Ceceilla. I'm your other grandma, Grandma Maggie."
"Mommy and Daddy don't like you, so I don't like you."
"Ceceilla, apologize to Maggie." Carter said to his daughter.
"No, Daddy. She mean to you and Mommy. I don't like that. You said I should never be mean because it's not nice."
"Ceceilla, please apologize." Abby said.
"NO!"
"Ceceilla Elisabeth."
"Sorry." Ceceilla said weakly.
Carter, Abby, and Ceceilla then left the hospital. During the car ride home, Ceceilla was asking a lot of questions.
"Mommy, why did that lady say she was my grandma?"
"Well, sweetie, you know how Ganma is Daddy's mommy?"
"Yes."
"That's my mommy. She is your grandmother but she was never in mine or Daddy's life before or after we got married and when you
were born, she never came to see you. So I didn't want her being your grandmother. You understand, sweetie?"
"Yes………..Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"Is she Uncle Eric's mommy too?"
"Yes, baby, she is."
"Oh."
"Ceceilla, guess who is coming over for dinner tonight?"
"Who?"
"Uncle Eric and Aunt Jody."
"Yay!"
"Guess who else?" Carter than asked.
"Who, Daddy?"
"Ganma and Ganpa."
"Yay!"
Carter and Abby laughed. When they got home, Abby put Ceceilla in her bed since Ceceilla had fallen asleep in the car. Abby walked in the kitchen to see Carter making hamburgers for tonight. Abby went behind Carter and wrapped her arms around his waist. Carter turned around and put his arms on her waist, Abby sighed into his chest.
"John, can you give me any good news?"
"I was able to get Ceceilla to go over to Eric's tonight. They are going to take her to his house when they leave. Let see….
what else……..we are going to have a baby in 4 months."
"That's all I needed…….so when did you talk to Eric?"
"Hey, no need to worry about that. I got us alone time, didn't I?"
"Yes. Thank you. I love you so much. How did I get such a wonderful husband?"
"I don't know. I love you, too. So did you find out what the sex of the baby?"
"We are going have a boy." Carter gave her a long kiss.
'You are so wonderful you know that?"
"Yeah, I know....John, why did she have to come back? Why can't she understand I don't want her in our life?"
"I don't know, sweetie. I really don't." Carter noticed that Abby had started to cry.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I really am. If I could take this all away from you I would. Just let it all out, sweets, let it all out."
Carter held Abby while she cried. They stood there for a long while.
"Baby, its 3:30….my parents and Eric and Jody will be here at 6:30. Why don't you go take a hot bath?"
"Ok. Thank you, John for being there for me. I don't know what I would do without you."
"You never have to find out. I'll be with you forever. I promise. I love you."
"Love you, too."
A half hour later, Carter was finished getting everything ready. He checked on Ceceilla, who was still sleeping. He noticed Abby was still in the bathtub. He undressed and slipped in. He started to massage her shoulders. A few minutes later Carter asked
"Feeling any better?"
"Yeah, a lot better. Is everything ready?"
"Yup. Ceceilla is still sleeping and when I checked on her she will probably sleep for another hour. So what should we do until then?"
"Well, we could stay here or we could go in the bedroom and find our way to the bed."
"Take a lucky guess."
~2 hours later~
Abby was getting her make up on while Carter was cooking the hamburgers. Just then Ceceilla walked in the bathroom.
"Mommy, I want some of that stuff."
"Make up? Why?"
"Because I want to look pretty for Daddy. Like you do when we go some where. Daddy always says you look pretty."
Abby smiled at her daughter. She couldn't believe how big she was getting.
"Ok, sit right there."
"Thank you, Mommy."
"Your welcome, Ceceilla."
Abby put a little bit of lip gloss and blush on Ceceilla and put her hair up in a ponytail like Abby's.
"There you look just like Mommy."
"Thank you, Mommy. I love you."
"I love you too. Can I have kisses?"
Ceceilla gave her a kiss and Abby's stomach a kiss. Abby smiled.
"Baby. Right, Mommy?"
"Yeah, that's right. Why don't we go downstairs so Daddy can see how beautiful you?"
"Okay. He can see you too."
They walked into the kitchen.
"Hi, Daddy." Carter knelt down to his daughter.
"Hi, Princess. You look very pretty. Just like Mommy."
"Thank you, Daddy." Carter then stood up.
"As for you, my queen, you look very pretty also."
"Thank you."
"Daddy, when are they going to be here?"
"Who, Ceceilla?"
"Uncle Eric, Aunt Jody, and Ganma and Ganpa."
"In a half-hour."
"Oh, okay………Daddy, Mommy's baby is right there" Ceceilla said putting her hand on her stomach.
"I know, sweetie. You are going to be a big sister soon. You are going to have a brother."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Cool!"
~1 month later~
Abby was leaving the hospital after an appointment when she noticed Carter on a gurney.
"JOHN!!" She started to follow Susan and Chen. Susan then said;
"Abby, you need to calm down, okay. Wait out here."
Abby sat down in the chair and started sobbing. Carter wasn't there to comfort her. He was in the room across from her.
"Please, be okay, John. Please." Abby said to herself.
A while later Susan walked out.
"Abby?"
