Author's Notes: First of all, this fic has gone farther than I could've expected it to. Also, this fic has given me the confidence to keep writing. Thank you also to everyone who has reviewed this. It really does mean a lot to me. Also, I have just started watching ER just last season but I am trying to catch up when I watch the show at 11:30 on Saturday nights! That means I don't know when Abby or Carter first came on the show but I'm going to try and stay away from that. The song is When You Say Nothing At All and it's performed by Ronan Keating. I think that Alison Kraus sings it also but I just have the Ronan Keating version. Enjoy!
PART 4:
Abby's POV:
I knew something was up when Carter picked me up in the limo and when he gave me the roses and when he asked me to dance. But I really knew something was up when the song came on. Then came this, "Abigail Lockhart, you have been in my heart since the first time that I met you. You are my best friend, my soulmate, and the part that makes me. Will you marry me?"
How can I not say no? I have been in love with this man since the day that I met him. There's something about this man that makes me trust him with everything. I know that he will never hurt me and will love me no what I do. "Yes, John Carter, I'll marry you."
His face lights up in a smile and I look down at the diamond that he has slipped on my finger. John stands up and I gently pull him towards me. Our lips met in a long kiss and I deep it by wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I love you, Abby."
"I love you too, John." I say as we break apart. He looks so happy. I feel happy. Why shouldn't we be happy? After all the crap that we have been through, we deserve some happiness. I have found mine in the form of a man named John Carter.

Carter's POV:
I can't believe that she said yes! This is probably one of the best moments of my life. Abby deserves some happiness in her life and I hope that I can give it to her. God knows that she deserves and needs it.
"You ready to head home?" I ask her. I know that she doesn't like to be the center of attention and although this place is almost cleared out, there are a few people here who are looking at us and smiling.
"Please." She says. I take her hand and lead outside to the car. She takes her roses with her and then gets in the car.
I notice her looking at the simple gold band with a round diamond that I gave her, "Do you like it?" I ask her. If she doesn't like it, there are plenty to pick out in Tiffany's in New York.
"It's beautiful, John. I don't think that I've ever seen anything more beautiful."
"Because if you don't like, we can go exchange it at Tiffany's."
"You went all the way to Tiffany's to get this for me?!" she asks, looking at me surprised.
"I had a layover for about five hours in New York so I went to Tiffany's to pick out a ring."
"I can't believe that you did this for me. I have never had something more beautiful. How many carats is it?"
"Twenty." (FYI: I have not clue how many carats is good. If someone could give me a lesson in carats, it would be greatly appreciated!)
"Twenty carats?! John, you didn't have to spend some much."
I smile, "Abby, it's not like I don't have the money. You deserve the best that money can buy."
"Still, John…It's just too much."
"You deserve it, Abby Lockhart."
"What did I do to deserve you, John Carter?" she asks.
I was wondering the same thing. What in the world did I do to deserve this beautiful woman, both inside and out? "Probably the same thing that I did do deserve you." I say as I kiss her gently.
It's amazing how you speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark.
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't a say thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best…when you say nothing at all.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud.
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd (the crowd)
Try as they may they could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best…when you say nothing at all.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best…when you say nothing at all.
(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing a all.)
The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know that you need me.
