Author's note: Here's another chapter. Oh god, I'm so sad that this fic is
ending! Hehe. I can make it endless but it'll get too boring. So do you
guys want a sequel to this or not? I need more opinions. And feel free to
email me! Don't worry. If I don't reply ur emails, it's not ur fault, blame
it on my skool =) I'm cool with the whole pen pal thingie and no, it isn't
lame or cheesy. Hehe.
And if u email me, u still gotta review, coz I want some reviews in the reviews page. If all of u started to email me and didn't review, and when I take a quick peep in the review page and see no reviews, I'll be SO crushed. * sob in advance *
I just watched a rerun episode of ER, season one. U kno, that epy when Mark and Susan gave Carter a cast? Hell, that was so funny =) * laughs crazily* don't you think? I forgot all the details of Season one, coz I was like, 6 or 7 that time. So I'm glad that there are reruns!
And this will still be in Carter's POV. I like Abby's POV better, but then it seems more reasonable if I used Carter's POV in this Chapter.
Disclaimer : No one is mine. Yeah that's right, NO ONE in ER.

"Well, they found a dark shadow in your abdomen when they were doing a sonogram.." I stopped as I saw Abby had started to turn very, very pale. "It may not be anything serious." I added quickly.
"Oh my god." she said softly.
"Abby, it may be nothing! Do you know about this? Tell me please; tell me if it's a tumor, or is it anything that may be deadly, you can't keep me away from something this important. Abby, tell me, I love you, I'll never leave you." I coaxed gently.
"Oh my god. No Carter, it's nothing like that."
"Then what is it?"
She remained silent, her face as pale as a ghosts under the white lights. 7. Miracles do happen.
Carter's POV
"Abby?" I pushed on. She has to tell me, there's no other way.
"Oh Carter." She threw her arms around me and hugged me, tight. I returned the hug, put still wanting to know what is it that Abby knew. I saw her brush away tears from her eyes and my stomach gave a sickening lurch. There's something very wrong here.
I stroked her back gently and soothingly, trying to coax the secret out of her. "Don't be afraid Abby, tell me."
Just as she opened her mouth to say something, perhaps to tell me what is it that she's keeping from me, the door opened and Susan poked her head in.
"Am I interrupting anything?" she asked amusedly, as Abby and I were still hugging each other.
"No." Abby replied immediately, smiling and pushing herself off me. I mock glared at Susan, but laughed instead at her 'I'm so sorry.' expression. I'm in too good a mood with Abby awake to be mad at anybody.
"Well, I wouldn't say that Abby. There's something going on with us Susan." I said and gestured towards the corridor, asking Susan to leave silently.
"Ah. I see." Susan said knowingly. Yes, you got me Susan; I want to know what's with the shadow. Now go! "Decided to get naughty in a proper room than doing it in Trauma green huh?" she winked and us and started to retreat.
"Oh no. Susan, don't leave. I just woke up and according to Carter here, I must have a VERY thorough checkup." She looked up at me and smiled innocently. If I had known that what I said would backfire and come back to me in order to bite my ass, I wouldn't have cared about stupid checkups.
"Well..." she raised her eyebrows at me. I held up my arms dejectedly. "Check her up, I promised myself I'm never going to do anything my wife here don't want me to do, and in this case, I'm not sending you away." I leaned down and kissed Abby's nose affectionately.
Susan shuddered visibly. "I would rather leave you two alone."
"No stay." Both of us said spontaneously. Hey, I can always find out what's wrong with Abby via Luka. I reasoned with myself.
Susan stared and me and said suddenly. "Well, Carter. The test results came back, they're with Luka." There, she's using her special ability again - reading my mind.
"What's with all these reading of my mind?" I asked aloud.
"Huh? What?"
"Oh nothing. Thanks Susan." I went to find Luka. Where in the world is that man?
* * * * * * *
Abby's POV
Susan and me were chatting as if we hadn't met for ages when Carter burst into the room. God, I thought, there, the secret is out.
"What are you doing back so fast? Where's Luka?" Susan asked, furrowing her brows.
"That's exactly what the problem is, I can't find him. Where is he?" Carter asked frantically. And so, I guess, the secret is still with me. And Susan. And Luka, I guess.
A pair of lanky arms wrapped around my neck. They were cold, I noticed, so I rubbed them in an attempt to try and make them warm. His lips touched the back of my neck and then I heard a whisper in my ear. "Tell me."
Even though I'm not sure if I could keep the secret (or not so secret) with me any longer, I'm still doubtful about telling him. For all I know, it may be too much he could bear, considering what he had been through today. A few weeks may as well have passed. No, scratch that, make it a few years. But I still needed to give him an answer.
"Promise you'll not get mad that I haven't told you earlier?" I asked him "Promise." he answered eagerly.
"And you won't freak if it's too much for you?" I winked at Susan and she smiled back. She knew exactly what I'm doing. She herself had done it many times before. A few questions to lead him on is a great way to get a man interested in what you have to say.
"No Abby." He said exasperatedly. "Now are you telling me?"
"No. I need to know if you're sure you can handle this. Are you sure you can?" I saw Susan shaking her head at me. Oops, too much questions is no good.
"Yes Abby." He sighed. "You've got to tell me what it is!"
"I will after I make sure. You won't just leave me behind like I'm some piece of trash right?" I'm freaking out now, I'm not sure if I want to tell him.
"Ugh Abby, no! Of course not. I'll never leave you behind. And I will never think of you as a piece of trash. How can a piece of precious gem like you be regarded as trash? Now would you tell me what it is?" God, this man sure has a lot of patience. What am I going to do?
"Do you love me?" I asked in a weak attempt to steer his attention away from getting me to tell him what's happening. Help me out! I mouthed to Susan.
Carter sighed dejectedly, shaking his head. "Abby, what could possibly be so wrong to keep you from telling me?"
"She's pregnant." "I'm pregnant." Just as I mustered enough courage to tell him, Susan decided to tell him too. I raised my eyebrows at Susan and all she could do was to shrug her shoulders apologetically. I turned my head to face Carter, who fell into a heavy silence after I told him. My heart seemed to jump out of my chest.
"You are?" he finally asked incredulously.
I could only nod, for I am too afraid that if I even uttered a single word, I'll break down and cry.
"Oh my god. I'm going to be a father!" he said happily. Then his face darkened. "Is the baby mine?"
God, how COULD he ask a question like that? "Yes." I screeched.
"But how could we possibly.. you know, we had protection." he was pointing back and forth at himself and me, obviously, he had slept through most of the health classes in high school.
"Can you be any more stupid? Have you ever heard that condoms are only 97% effective?" Susan asked him, pretending to be disappointed at him.
He scowled at her, and then smiled good- humouredly. I love this man. "How'd you know we used that kind of protection we use?" Oh no.
"Abby told."
"You tell her things like this?" Carter asked me wondrously. I nodded. "Wow. We're going to have a baby!" he screamed, as if he only realized that now.
"Yes we are." I said softly, not quite believing it myself, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Susan slipping out of the room, giving my a thumbs up before she left.
"I love you so much." he said passionately.
"I love you too."
"And now, I have a baby to love too."
"Do you consider today as a miracle?" I asked as I saw the sun rising in the horizon. It was beautiful, I'm just glad that I lived and was able to see many sunrises like this. Valentines day was over, and hopefully, the hardest part of my life is gone.
"Oh Abby." he smiled and gazed into my eyes. "I consider everyday with you to be a miracle."
I smiled too, and my heart went out to him. Our lips met each other's and as the sun rose higher and higher into the sky, we stayed in our own world, celebrating the beginning of a brand new day. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
* sob * it's over. After this author's note, this fic would be history. Just to let you know, I had SO much fun reading ur reviews and writing this story. I hope I haven't disappointed u guys by making Abby pregnant. Review please everyone. And if you guys support my idea of doing a sequel, I'll reply ur reviews in the new story!
This is so funny though. While I was writing the whole scene when Abby and Carter was having this 'we had protection' talk, it reminded me of one scene of 'Friends' that had nothing to do with protection. You know, in TOW Monica's thunder? When Chandler said: 'It's funny because in high school, I failed biology. Today, biology failed me.' When he couldn't do it with Monica? When I watched that, I rolled on the floor, laughing until I was sure I'm gonna die if I laugh some more. My sister thought I was INSANE. But what the heck, who cares?
Thanks guys for reviewing :
Carbyluva313 -- Thanks! I hope this is good too.
Ashelle -- I'm glad she woke up too! I spent a lot of time debating with myself on whether I should kill her off or not. Thanks.
Loco -- Yay, your name is posted for the second time! Thanks for saying that it's a good fic. Yeah, as I said, every epy is good! Thank you.
Megan Star -- * Whispers back * I think the footsteps are getting louder! *Widen eyes and screams * It's here! HEHE lol. Yup, u got it right. And now, this is the ending. Thanks for reviewing all throughout the story!
Laura -- Yeah, there are many possible story lines but I gotta make this a happy fic! hehe. Try writing a new story with those story lines! I'll jump to see it right away! Why do you hate the word pregnant? Sorry about making her pregnant, but I couldn't resist it! hehe. Yes, you're right. Thanks for reviewing!
SpookyAnne -- She's not sick after all! hope u're happy with this ending, it's not original at all I kno, but then, I'm not a very creative person ya kno. Here's the end of the story! Bye. Thank you.
carbygirl05 --here's what happens next! and yeah I got ur email but then I want to reply ur review here! I'll send u another email separately ASAP. or not so ASAP. hehe.
Yeah I know about those chat rooms, ur lucky to get into one. it's hard rite? And because most of my family (My grandparents, and my cousins) live in CA and I was born there, I guess I have a high chance of going there for the summer holidays too! Oh my GAWD. You're gonna meet THE CAST! Hey, I envy u so much, I'm terribly jealous of u! hehe. You're SO lucky to have such a great b-day pressie. my presents are nowhere as great as yours! The best pressie I got was a complete set of ER season 1 DVDs my friend got for me from overseas. I wish my dad did something like that!
Yeah, it was AWESOME (I'm being a copycat) my fav epy now is not in season nine. I still like 'secrets and lies' best, even though there's not much hospital scenes or whatsoever. But it sure was funny.
I'll send you an email so as to give u a longer reply some time later!
Mealz -- Did u get it right? hehe I think u did! Thanks for reviewing!
CarbyFan -- Yeah he did! It seemed to me very carter-like. Well, at least very carter-like before Mark died. He became v.serious after mark died, I think. Um. well yeah, Abby told him, but then I hate to tell you this, but they're already married! hehehe. So if Carter proposes again, I'll freak. =) Well, actually, this is the end, but if you guys want a sequel, then I'll do one. I promise it's gonna be surprising! or not so surprising. well, let's see shall we?
And no, I don't think carbygirl05 knos maura, but there's a fat chance that she will know her sometime later * glares at her * j/k!~ Be sure to introduce her to me k?? hehe
Also, it would be marvelous if you want to email me. Yeah it's okay. I don't mind real letters, but don't send chain letters to me, coz I get enough of them from my friends!
KarenFaye -- Thankyou. Are you sad that it ended this soon? oH well, tell me if you'd like a sequel!
Oh god, I couldn't believe I wrote something that is irrelevant to schoolwork. That's right Loco, you're not the only one out there who only wrote for school, I was that kind of person too! * buries herself under the covers and sobs * I'm so sad that this fic has to end! Plz tell me that you guys want a sequel! * hit herself so as to punish herself for thinking of unreasonable things *
AND THANK YOU ALL THAT HAD REVIEWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LuV, * ~JeSs~ *
