An: Hey, sorry it's been such a long time since I updated. There was a sudden death in the family that tore my whole family, related and not, to pieces. Still don't quite grasp the whole thing, but enough blues for now. Here's the next chapter for you guys, hope you like it, I'm getting towards the end on this one, but my twin sis, Astacia of twin*muse, has an awesome ER story to put up in the near future. Hope you all read it, I can't wait myself, hadn't had a chance to read it either. Anywho, Enjoy!!

Before long, the news of the engagement was spread. This gave Anna something happy to get ready for. She went for constant doctor appointments; the baby girl continued to grow, yet slowly. By Thanksgiving, Anna was about 6 ½ months. She'd been planning for her and Carter's Holiday wedding all the time now. She contacted her 6 brother and sisters (3 in front, 3 in back if I remember correctly) and had her 2 sisters as bridesmaids, and Carter had her 4 brothers as groomsmen. Abby was Anna's Maid-of-Honor, to Abby's surprise. Her comment was 'Your sister's are gonna HATE me!'

And Carter's best man? Or shall we say best woman? Kerry Weaver.

"Dr. Weaver? Can I speak to you a moment?" Carter asked shyly on afternoon in the ER.

"Sure, let's go grab a coffee." Kerry said as they walked into the lounge. She got them both cups and they sad at the table.

"What is it you wanted to talk about?" Kerry asked as she sipped her cup.

"My wedding. I've been thinking about this awhile. You've always been so great with me. Took care of me, with rehab, before, now. You've always supported me. I was wondering if you'd be my best man..well best woman." Carter asked, nervous as all heck. Kerry sat stunned, tears forming in her eyes. She was speechless.

"You were my first choice." Carter added. Kerry nodded, smiling.

"John Carter. I'd be honored. THANK you." Kerry said, squeezing his hand.

"Great! Set you calendar for December 14th. We're getting married quickly cause.." Carter said, not finishing. Kerry nodded, understanding.

"It's what she'll need." Kerry answered.

So, Kerry, Abby, 2 sisters, 4 brothers, and Elizabeth (Liz has been hanging with and talking to Anna this whole time since she's been back) were the wedding party. Also, Ella was the flower girl with Reece being the ring bearer. There was no way Peter wasn't going to be a part of Carter's wedding.

After Thanksgiving, it became hectic. Arrangements made, dresses picked and sized, church chosen, reception place, etc. Since it was winter, it was a winter theme. Long sleeve dresses with coats to match. Her color was soft pale blue with pale pink roses and flowers. Very snowy and angel like.

Anna was almost 7 months when the big day came. A gorgeous day with a blanket of snow covering everywhere. As Mr. and Mrs. Carter danced, Carter whispered in Anna's ear.

"My life's complete. Got a blessing, with my very own blessing on the way and an extended family that is a mile long!" Carter said, grinning. Anna started crying.

"Y-you consider my baby, ..your b-blessing?! She's.." Anna mumbled.

"She's my little girl. Maybe not by blood..but I still believe her as mine. Always will." Carter interrupted. Anna started crying a little more, baffled.

"I don't DESERVE you! You're a saint!" Anna cried, grabbing his face and kissing him soundly. Their honeymoon was spent relaxing comfortably at a cute bed and breakfast resort a few hours away.

By Christmas, Anna was having more trouble. She was just about 7 ½ months. 4 days before Christmas, on the 20th of December, she landed in the hospital.

"Dr. Weaver, seen Dr. Carter?" Randi asked.

"Why?" Kerry asked.

"His new wife's being admitted upstairs." Randi answered a scared look on her face.

"Anna?! What's wrong?" Kerry asked worried, looking about the room for Carter.

"She's having trouble. With the baby." Randi answered, frowning.

"Oh Lord." Kerry mumbled, racing to the suture room where it said he was with a patient. She went in and found him sewing up a kid's chin.

"Now...be careful next time you decide to ice skate..skateless on your frozen pool, ok buddy?" Carter kidded.

"John..it's Anna. She's admitted upstairs. They say the baby's in trouble." Kerry said softly. He looked horrified and bolted out the door. As he neared the stairs, he bout knocked Abby over, Luka only saving her at the last second.

"Where's the fire!" Abby joked, not seeing his worried face.

"Anna! The baby!" Carter yelled as he ran up the stairs 3 at a time. Abby looked crestfallen.

"And now it begins." She mumbled. Luka leaned down and kissed her temple, putting his arm around her.

"We just have to pray for the best." Luka murmured, leading her back to the ER to work until they heard word on Anna and the baby girl's condition.

Or just to say hi, anything. Need some pick-me-ups right about now. Lame jokes welcomed also!! Thanx!
