Carter was having a pretty good day at work considering it was
thanksgiving. I guess everyone decided to be thankful and not shoot anyone
in the head today thought Carter to himself. The best part of his day was
knowing what he would go home to. Delicious food and Abby. The two of
them alone. Seeing if he would get lucky tonight.
"Hey John!" Anna called out heading towards him.
Carter heard about her and Max's engagement and he couldn't have been happier for her. Plus Anna was back at County and he didn't see her as anything but a friend. Sure there was some sexual tension but he was just so in love with Abby.
"Hey" he said giving her a small smile. She smiled back.
"Listen I wanted to ask you a huge favor!"
"Oh anything for you" he said jokingly.
"I hope your serious cause it's a really big favor". She said.
"Anna just say it already!"
"Do you have any plans for thanksgiving?" She asked.
"What? Why?" He asked a little startled.
"Please Carter. Max's family always cooks this huge thanksgiving every year and he's so far away from his family and I'm the cause of that and even though he says he doesn't care about having a huge dinner, I know he does and the stove in our apartment doesn't work and-
"Okay, okay. You can come over. I'm sure we'll have plenty of food and Abby shouldn't mind. But you owe me." He said.
"Thank you so much Carter. I owe you one. See you tonight!" She said grabbing a chart and heading towards a patient.
Great how was he going to explain this to Abby? He picked up the phone and dialed their number. It rang a couple times before he heard that voice that made his knees go weak.
"Hello" she answered.
"Hey" he said cheerfully.
She smiled when she heard it was him. He could hear it in her voice. "Hi. What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing much how's the food coming?" He asked casually.
"Well, turkey is cooking, and I still have another hour before I have to start making the other entrees, and the pie is waiting for surgery by the famous Dr. Carter. How are things at work?" She asked.
"It's kind of slow today. You know a couple drunks, one car accident which resulted in a trauma, Anna and Max are coming over for Thanksgiving tonight, I didn't get puked on at all today which-
"What?!" Asked Abby alarmed.
"I didn't get puked on today?" Said Carter trying to lighten the mood. He could see Abby glaring through the phone.
"Carter!" She yelled through the phone.
"I'm sorry but she cornered me. What was I supposed to do turn her away?" He asked.
"Yes" yelled Abby.
"Abby" he said softly. She hated when he said her name like that because it always made her cave in.
"Alright alright. I suppose it wouldn't hurt. But as long as you promise that after they leave, we get to have desert alone" she said seductively.
Carter went weak in the knees and suddenly regretted telling Anna yes on the dinner.
"Oh you know it" he said seductively right back. Then they said their good byes and hung up reluctantly. A very angry Susan came up to Carter.
"He cancelled on me!" Screamed Susan.
"Whoa calm down. Who cancelled on you"? He asked putting his hands up in defense.
"Roger! My date. I met him in Yoga class and he had just broken up with his girlfriend so he asked me if I had any plans for thanksgiving. I told him no so he asked me out this night and then he just called and said that him and his girlfriend got back together!" Yelled Susan. She then sighed defeated. Carter looked at her with pity in his eyes.
"I really liked him Carter," she said sadly looking down. Carter again took pity on her.
"Well I guess I gain have no plans for thanksgiving". She said.
"That's not true. Look Anna and Max are already coming over to Abby's and my's apartment tonight and one more can't hurt". He told her. She looked up at him suddenly happy again.
"Do you mean it? I don't want to be a bother," she said.
"You're never a bother Susan, I'll see you tonight" he said and gave her smile.
"Thank you so much Carter". Susan said grabbing a chart and walking away. Carter sighed and picked up the phone one more time as he dreaded the wrath of the thanksgiving natzi.
It was almost time for Carter's shift to end as he could tell Abby was mad. It was one thing when he had Anna and Max coming over, she didn't really care that Susan was coming also but ironically almost half of the ER staff was coming to their house for thanksgiving. 20 minutes after he invited Susan, Deb came up to him and her plans had been cancelled also. She somehow talked him into inviting her. But hey at least Susan wouldn't be the only one without a date he thought sourly. He then ran into Elizabeth in the halls who looked upset. He knew it was because she would spend this thanksgiving alone. Well not alone. She would have Ella but there was a piece of her heart missing this thanksgiving. He thought what it would be like if Abby had died and he had to spend thanksgiving alone. He swelled with pity for Elizabeth and he quickly invited her and Ella to thanksgiving. Those would be the only people he would invite though. It was only going to be himself, Abby, Susan, Deb, Elizabeth, and Ella. No one else! Or so he thought.
Carter was walking past the admittance desk when Romano spotted him.
"Carter just the man I was looking for!" Said Dr. Romano running to catch up with him.
"Hello Dr. Romano. What can I do for you?' Carter asked.
"Well I heard a small rumor going around that everyone's thanksgiving plans are at your house and truthfully my physiatrist says I should start connecting with my staff more so I'll be at your house tonight" he said leaving Carter stunned then walking away.
This did not just happen thought Carter to himself. Romano did not just invite himself over to our house!
After that Carter was just in a plain bad mood. It was just supposed to be the two of them but now they had 6 other guests including Ella that made 7! Abby was going to kill him. His shift ended 2 minutes ago as he raced into the lounge, grabbed his stuff, clocked out and raced home. As soon as he opened the door he soon relaxed as he could see no one had showed up yet. The aroma of cooked Turkey filled the air, which made Carter in a better mood. He saw Abby slaving away in the kitchen. She looked stressed. He suddenly felt bad.
"Hey" he said. She looked up with him but her eyes were cold.
"Hey" she said coldly. He could tell she was mad.
"So I guess you found out then". He said fiddling with a chair uncomfortably.
"7 other people John. We have 7 people coming to dinner and I only made enough for 2!" She yelled. He flinched as a wave of guilt hit him. She was stirring the mashed potatoes when she realized something.
"Shit" she said.
"What?" He asked softly.
"We don't have any cranberry sauce!" She said going over and grabbing her coat.
"Abby calm down, cranberry sauce isn't that important" he said trying to calm her down.
She glared at him.
"I need you to start making the pie. It appears we won't be having desert alone tonight since we have 7 dinner guests. Put it in the oven at 250 degrees for 50 minutes" she said grabbing her coat and heading out the door into the night for cranberry sauce. Carter stared at the food in the kitchen. The turkey was sitting on the stove cooling off and the pie was on the counter waiting to be baked. He grabbed the pie and put it in the stove gently. People would be here any minute.
Carter went to the table and started setting it for 9 people including Abby and himself. They only had 7 chairs so he went and got an office chair and a folding chair for Abby and himself. It was a good thing they had a pretty big table. 30 minutes later, the food was ready, the table was set and Abby had returned with two cans of cranberry sauce she said she had to fight off an old guy for them. Carter gave her a look and she said that he stole them from her first. Abby and Carter brought the food to the table as the doorbell rang. Abby being in a better mood once everything was going to be perfect, went and answered the door. She was surprised to see Kerry and Sandy at the door smiling at her.
"Hi Abby" answered Kerry.
"Hi". She said a little too surprised. They noticed that and quickly explained to her.
"Well we were going to go to Sandy's family's house for thanksgiving but they didn't know that Sandy was a.umm.lesbian and her family is kind of prejudice and they kind of had a big fall out. We were kind of depressed after that and then Susan told us that we should come here. So we did. We hope we're not a bother or anything. We brought this," said Kerry handing Abby a bottle of wine. Abby forced a smile and gave her a thanks then gave Carter an uncomfortable glance.
Carter and Abby made their way into the kitchen as Kerry and Sandy sat at the table not daring to touch the food until the others came. The plate patterns Carter and Abby had struck an interesting conversation between them however. Abby set the bottle of wine on the counter and let out a long sigh staring at the bottle. Carter went over and wrapped his arms around her supporting. Abby buried her face in his chest as he ran his hand softly through her hair. He took the bottle of wine and put it in the cupboard not because he didn't trust her, but because he didn't want it to torture her all night. He would pour it down the sink later when Kerry and Sandy weren't here.
Soon after Kerry and Sandy came (and Carter and Abby squeezed in two more places at the table) everyone showed up and sat down at the table. Abby and Carter sat at the head of the table. They had sparkling cider. Everyone else had wine. It wasn't as bad as Abby thought it was going to be. She intertwined her and Carters hands as she gave his hand a squeeze. He looked at her lovingly.
"Ok everybody, do you what time it is"?! Said Susan a bit loudly.
"Susan are you drunk?" Asked Deb.
"Just a little" she said laughing. Abby looked down wandering if she looked like this whenever she got drunk. Carter sensed this and gave her hand a squeeze. She smiled at him.
"What time is it Susan" Elizabeth said going back to her original question.
"It's time to say what we are thankful for!" said Susan cheerfully but drunk.
"We'll start with me. I'm thankful that Ramon-
"Robert" Carter said correcting her.
"That what I said Carter" said Susan annoyed. She rolled her eyes.
"I'm thankful that Ramon (Carter rolled his eyes) cancelled on me because then I wouldn't be here now getting drunk with all my good friends," said Susan. Everyone in the room agreed even though she was the only one who was drunk. Next was Elizabeth.
"Well I'm thankful for Carter and Abby because without them we would be alone this thanksgiving. Secondly I'm thankful for Ella because everyday I see a little bit of Mark inside her eyes and I am so very thankful for that" she said as everybody's eyes welled up with tears (yes even Romano's).
Abby cleared her throat. "I think we should make a toast to Mark" said Abby holding up her glass. Everyone else did the same. "To Mark" they all said at once. (Susan actually said "To Mike" but they all knew what she meant) Next was Romano's turn.
"Well I'm thankful for ESPN. My dog and the cardboard pizza box. (Everyone rolled their eyes) No but in all seriousness, There was an 8 year old girl who was in a car accident today and we almost lost her in surgery but with the help of my co-workers (he looked at Elizabeth when he said this) we saved her and I guess if anything, I'm thankful for that". Everyone smiled a little. Next was Deb.
"Well I'm thankful for this dinner Carter and Abby threw" she said smiling at them. "And I got a letter from my baby's adoptive parents today and they said he's doing well and I am very thankful for that" said Deb (A/N: I couldn't remember her little boys name but she's talking about her son) Next was Kerry and Sandy. They said they were thankful for each other and for not having to hide anymore. Next were Anna and Max. They were thankful for all the basics: Love, life, hope, and faith. They moved everyone with a pretty warming speech and they were thankful for the fact that they were getting married in 9 months. Then Anna stood up and made an announcement.
"Everyone, I would like to make an announcement. We ah.actually just found out last night but.I'm pregnant" she said smiling really big.
"Congratulations!" Everyone said all at once. Everyone took turns giving her hugs. Next was none other than Carter.
"Well I guess I'm thankful for the fact that there are no problems in any of our lives right now. I'm thankful for my health, my career, my life." said Carter trailing off. Next was Abby.
"At first when Carter told me that you were all coming, I was kind of dreading it. But just like so many times before, Carter has proven me wrong. I'm thankful for spending this holiday with all of you and I'm thankful for this good hearted man sitting beside me" said Abby looking over at Carter smiling and squeezed his hand. He grinned at her and squeezed her hand back. After this everyone ate their dinner in peace with light and good-hearted conversation and laughter. Everyone was having a good time until Abby smelled something.
"Carter what's that." Carter froze in fear. Abby looked at him then ran into the kitchen and turned off the stove.
"Carter!!!! You burnt my pie!!"
That night after everyone left even though Carter burnt her pie she forgave him and fulfilled her promise of him getting lucky tonight. They had a night of passionate lovemaking. It all started out with one of those kisses that would make you cry if you saw it. Which led to a night of gentleness and tenderness. It was 3:00 in the morning and Carter rolled over and watched Abby sleep. She suddenly stirred a little and looked up at him. She smiled.
"Hi" she said softly.
"Hi" he said propping his head up on one elbow. She had her hand on the space in between them as he traced small circles on the top of her hand. They fell into a comfortable silence where no words need be spoken because emotions were running high. But then Carter broke the silence.
"I lied," he said.
"What?" Abby asked confused.
"About what I was thankful for. I lied," he said. She looked at him willing him to go on.
"Truth is Abby, you're the only good thing in my life right now. In fact you're what makes life good. I'm not thankful for my health or my career. I could be a plumber with cancer, but I would still be thankful for nothing but you" he said looking up at her. She pushed him back so she was lying on top of him.
"Now but see if you were a plumber with cancer I wouldn't have fallen in love with you" she joked kissing him passionately to show that what she just said wasn't true. She still would have loved him even if he were a plumber with cancer. She soon fell asleep on top of him and he soon fell asleep with his arms wrapped around her.
"Happy Thanksgiving Carter." Abby mumbled.
"Happy Thanksgiving Abby".
Authors Note: I just wanted to say sorry for the mistake. In my last chapter Carter's mom's name was Eleanor not Millicent. My mistake sorry once again! Keep reading and reviewing and I'll keep writing!
"Hey John!" Anna called out heading towards him.
