A/N-The last chapter didn't have an authors note, coz I forgot. I'm
dedicating this chapter to Glenn Quinn, who, unfortunately passed away,
quite recently. Please R&R
Abby sat by the river, lonely. It just wasn't the same sitting there on her own. She had just only had a fight with him a couple of hours ago, but already she was missing him. She wanted him to be there to talk to her, to make her feel happier than she was feeling at the moment. So when he came to sit beside her, she didn't stop herself from smiling at him. She was just about to tell him how sorry she was, but he beat her to it.
"Abby, I'm sorry." He said, sincerely.
"Me too."
"I was being selfish,"
"How?"
"I, I didn't want to adopt Kara becaue I don't think I could deal with it. It would be like watching my brother die all over again."
"Well, the more I think about it, the more I think that it would be a bad idea. I mean in the next few months I'm gonna get more morning sickness, more cravings for food and I probaby wouldn't end up looking after her properly. Plus when I said I would do it with or without you, I was very, very wrong. I can't be pregnant without you, no one to run out to the store for cookies. I can't do anything without you. I need you."
"I need you too." He leant over and kissed her, savouring the moment.
"Let's never fight again, okay?" she said, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah, I don't like fighting with you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2 months later (abby is 5 months pregnant)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kara had been brought in earlier that day. Her condition had deteriorated, to tell the truth she had been lucky to last as long as she did. As she lay in the hospital bed, yet again, Abby stayed by her side. She didn't have to be her mother to be sad for her. A few times Carter came in, with coffees and at around eleven came to sit beside the sleeping Abby.
"Hello Dr Carter," Kara said, short of breath.
"Hey Kara," he said, checking that her BP was normal. It was gradually falling.
"Is it gonna be long now?" Kara asked.
"no, it's not."
"If it happens before Abby wakes up, can you say goodbye to her from me?"
"Yeah, I will."
"I'm sleepy."
"Well why don't you have a nap?"
"Because I'm afraid that If I go to sleep now, I'll never wake up."
"You don't have to be afraid."
"Can you tell me a story?" She asked, as she shut her eyes for the last time.
"Okay, well, do you wanna hear how I met Abby?"
"Yeah,"
"Well, she came as a med student to this hospital and she saved my life."
"How?"
"Well, she caught me taking drugs and she told the people at the hospital and they made me better. So then we became friends and gradually, I fell in love with her..." his story was interrupted by the heart monitor. The lines on it became one flat line and Abby was woken up by the noise.
"Did it happen?" she asked him, her voice shaking.
"Yes, she died."
"Was she asleep?"
"Yeah,"
"Good."
