Never Felt Like This Before

Disclaimer: I do not own ER…

Author's Note: I know that many people have done Carby stories based on" Walk Like A Man", but I just wanted to do one. The scene at the end of "Walk Like a Man" does not take place in this fic, and I didn't use the dialogue that they used at the train station scene.

Chapter 1

"John, don't leave, we need to talk," said Abby softly as she move towards Carter. Carter looked up at Abby.  She looks sexy when she is angry, thought Carter to himself. He just couldn't stay there right then, he needed to think things through before he says something that he will regret later.

"I'm sorry Abby, but I can't do this right now," said Carter as he walked onto the train. Abby watched as the train left the station. Why couldn't he just stay for just a few minutes, thought Abby to herself as she sat down on the bench.  Abby could sort of understand why he was upset with her. But it is not like I'm drinking as much as I did before; I just had a few beers.

Abby's pager then went off. Just what I need, thought Abby to herself as she started walking back to the ER.

***
Carter looked out of the window, and all he could think of was Abby, and the way she looked when he left her at the station. I don't understand why she would drink, yeah I know she said that she isn't drinking as much as she was before, but for a recovery alcoholic that is still a lot. I don't want to fix her, save her or change her; all I want is to be with her. "I love her".

Later that night,

Abby was just about on her way home when Susan entered the lounge.

"Are you off now?" said Susan softly.

"Yeah," said Abby as she put her coat on

"Abby, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Abby softly." I'll see you tomorrow," she said as she left the lounge.

As she was walking home, all she could think of was Carter and the argument she had with him. When Abby got to her apartment, she couldn't believe who was sitting by her apartment.

"John," said Abby softly as she walked up to him. Carter looked up at Abby. "I'm sorry that I left like that. I just need to think things through." said Carter delicately

"Did you?" asked Abby softly as she sat down to Carter.

"Yes I did, and all I could think about was of you. Abby, I don't want to change you; there is nothing wrong with you. Abby looked up at Carter, and smiled.

"I just care about you, I don't want to lose you," said Carter delicately. Abby looked at Carter. "John, you are not going to lose me, I promise you that I have my drinking under control."

"Abby, let's not talking about the drinking, you know exactly how I feel about that."

 "I know," smiled Abby as she leaned over and kissed Carter.

"John, why don't we go inside where it is warm," laughed Abby as they walked into her apartment. Carter and Abby then went and sat down on the couch together. Abby then took Carter's hand. "John, you make me the happiest that I have ever been in my life. You have seen me through everything with my mom, and you still want to be with me," said Abby softly.

"Oh, Abby, you don't know how happy I am with you." said Carter softly as he put his arms around her." I have never felt this way about anybody before." smiled Carter.

"Just promise me one thing," said Carter softly as he looked up at Abby. "What?" said Abby

"No more hiding anything from me."

"That is a promise I can keep." smiled Abby as she cuddled up to Carter. Abby smiled at Carter, and she couldn't believe how happy she was with him, not even when she was with Luka did she ever felt like this.

"I love him". 3 tiny little words, but can I ever say those words to Carter.

To be continued!!!!
