Never Felt Like This Before
Chapter 3
Abby couldn't believe that she had just told Carter she loved him; it was a very big step for her to take. With Luka, it had been more about attraction than love, but with Carter, she could see herself spending the rest of her life with him. Oh my, Abby thought to herself. She couldn't believe that she was thinking about that many years away, while she and Carter might not even make it to a year. So why did she think that they were going to make it for many years to come?
Abby then started to shiver.
"Here, take my jacket," Carter offered as he put his jacket on her.
"Thanks," she smiled up at him.
"Why don't we go home now?"
"Sounds like a great idea" Abby said softly.

The next morning,
Carter woke up to see Abby resting on his chest. She looks so peaceful.
Did I really tell her that I love her last night? Wow, I have never said that to anyone before. I've dated many women but I have never felt like this before…and I have never said 'I love you' to any of them.
"Morning," Abby whispered softly as she leisurely sat up.
"Hi," Carter said, smiling, as he got out of bed. Abby climbed out of bed as well.
"What time do you start work?' Carter asked.
"1 pm" Abby responded. "What about you?"
"2 pm"
"Oh, so we can spend some time with each other before we have to head to the ER." Carter happily mused.
"Yeah," Abby smiled softly. "I'm going to make some breakfast, what do you want?" she asked as she headed to the kitchen.
"I don't know, maybe some bacon and eggs," Carter decided as he followed her into the kitchen.
"What did I ever do to deserve you?" Carter asked simply as he walked up behind Abby.
"I don't know. I ask myself the same thing all the time. John, you mean everything to me," Abby declared as she hugged Carter.
"You mean the world to me too, and I love you more than you know."
"You mean that?"
"Of course I do…. You're stuck with me now," Carter teased as he put his arms around her chest.
"Oh, I think I can handle that," she smiled as she leaned over and kissed Carter.

Later that day,
Abby was sitting in the lounge when Luka entered.
"Hi Luka," she said softly.
"Yeah, hi," Luka replied absentmindedly as he started to open his locker.
Abby walked over to Luka. "Is everything okay?" Abby asked, concerned.
"Yeah," he answered.
"Okay, if you're sure," Abby conceded as she started to walk out of the lounge.
"Abby..," Abby turned around. "Yeah?," she questioned.
"Are you really happy with him?" Luka asked, sounding sad and speaking softly.
"Yes, I am." Abby smiled as she walked out of the lounge.

Later that evening,
Carter walked into his apartment, and saw Abby asleep on the couch, with the TV still on. Carter turned the TV off, and put the covers over Abby.
"Sleep tight," he said. She looked up at him. "John…" Abby said softly as she sat up. Carter turned around, "I thought you were asleep." he said as he went and sat next to her.
"I was," Abby yawned." And I was waiting for you to come home."
"Did you miss me?" Carter asked as he put his arms around her.
"Maybe I did and maybe I didn't," Abby teasingly grinned as she leaned over to kiss Carter.
"Are you really happy with him?" Luka's voice played in her head, and she knew that she was. She wasn't going to hide anything from Carter.
"Luka asked me today if I was happy with you." Abby blurted out.
"He what?," Carter asked as he looked at her with a questioning look in his eyes.
Is she starting to regret what she said last night?, Carter thought to himself.
"And what did you say?"
"John, what do you think I said? I'm the happiest that I have ever been in my entire life, with you.
Nothing or nobody can or will change that," Abby said delicately.
Carter then put his arms around her. "I have this idea. You might think this is going too fast, but I think it might be good for us. We have been dividing our time between apartments. So, why don't we get our own apartment? Will you move in with me?"
