Not much after arriving Carter's father had spotted them. He walked over to greet them.
"hello son!" Mr. Carter said happily
"hey dad, it's goon to see you"
"Same here" his father said.
"and who is this lovely lady?" asked Mr. Carter
"Dad I'd like you to meet Abby Lockhart, my girlfriend"
Mr. Carter's face became more serious. Abby didn't know what to do so she just smiled. She then saw Mr. Carter extend his had. Abby reached over to greet him.
"Nice to meet you Miss Lockhart"
"Nice to meet you too, Sir. John has told me a lot about you"
"That's funny he never mentioned you , John's grandmother didn't inform me either"
Abby didn't expect him to say that. She finally realized what Carter was so worried about.
"Dad don't start" Carter said angrily
"What I'm just stating the obvious"
Carter pulled Abby to the side.
" Abby why don't you see if you can find Gamma. I'm going to go have a talk with my dad in the kitchen."
"Umm, sure"
"I'll be back in a minute, ok honey"
"Yeah, ok"
She watched as John walked away with his father. She only hoped that her presence wouldn't cause much trouble.
Abby made her way through the crowed . She finally was able to find Gamma. She was talking to some business men that resembled Carter quite a bit.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Carter and his dad entered the kitchen.
"what was that?" Carter said angrily
"What cant I say what's on my mind"
"Not when your going to be rude to my girlfriend"
"Well maybe if you had told me about her I wouldn't be so angry"
"Oh come on dad you're acting like I got married or something" his voice now getting louder.
"If you do I hope you at least tell me"
" This is ridiculous!! I am not having this conversation with you!"
"What conversation?" His dad said bitterly
"the one where you act like you're the victim! Like I owe you an explanation for everything I do in my life." he was now screaming.
Carter looked at his father and he softly said "I came to see you today not to argue ok" He saw his fathers expression and continued talking. "Look Abby is my girlfriend so just except it"
"ok. Fine at least tell me a little about her."
Carter looked at him. Puzzled at first that his father had calmed down and now wanted to know about Abby
"Well she's a nurse, she's very nice, she's the most incredible thing that has happened to me. She makes me whole" Carter couldn't help but smile.
"She's a nurse" His dad said bitterly.
"Yes she's a nurse!"
"you couldn't have at least gone out with a doctor?"
Carter became angry at his dads comments
"You know what I don't need your approval to date her! I love her and you want to know something I'm going to ask her to marry me tonight!"
Mr. Carter was shocked
"Are you really thinking of marrying her?"
"Yes dad I am! You want proof. Look I already bought the ring!"
Carter pulled out a small black box and opened it. Their inside was a beautiful 14k white gold ring with a light purple diamond in the middle. The design was beautiful. Inside the ring was an engraving, it read : Were going to be ok because I love you.
Mr. Carter couldn't believe what his son was saying. How could his son wan to marry a nurse. He could do so much better.
"John you could do so much better!" his dad insisted.
Carter shot his dad a look
"what do you mean better! Abby is the best thing that has happened to me in my entire life! But I guess you wouldn't now that would you!"
"Yes I know That you think I was never around but we're not talking about that, we're talking about you committing the biggest mistake of your life!" his father screamed.
"I will not let you insult her like that!!"
"I'm not insulting I'm just stating the facts"
"So what 'facts' are those dad? " Carter asked in a bitter voice.
"Are they really facts or just what you want to believe?"
"John , Just tell me the truth. I know you don't love her, she's just a way to pass time. You can tell me"
John looked at his father. He wondered how he could have ended up with such a terrible father
"yeah huh dad right" he said in a almost laughing tone.
paused for a moment then gave his dad a sarcastic look. In a soft voice he said " Ok here's the "truth" about Abby dad , the truth that you want to hear "
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Abby was beginning to wonder why Carter was taking so long. She felt so lost. She didn't know any of these people. Gamma has left her standing there alone after spotting some 'old friend'. She looked over at the kitchen doors. Should she go check on them. Why not it couldn't hurt she thought to herself. They were probably talking about sports or something. Hopefully they were. Abby began to walk to wards the kitchen.
