How We Came To Be……

Disclaimer: I don't own ER or any of its characters, any characters you do not recognize I most likely own. Unless it is actually an ER character.
Summary: Going through the events of John and Abby (and family)'s lives.
A/N: PLEASE read and review!! Thanks! If you read the earlier chapter three you can forget that, for now. I will put that in later but I wanted to put this in now, it makes more sense this way. Thanks for all the reviews!

5 months later…….
John and Abby's apartment
"Hey Abby, you ok in there?" Carter called to his wife who had not yet returned from the bathroom.
"Ugh, I feel horrible," Abby said walking out of the bathroom, her hair all messed up in her face.
"You don't look to good either, maybe you should stay home from work today." Carter said.
"Yeah, like Weaver would ever let me." Abby said, running off to the bathroom again.
"Yeah, I think I'll call her," Carter said dialing the ER.
"Hey, Jerry, tell Weaver Abby's not coming in, she's sick. Oh come on! Can't you just tell her? Fine, I'll talk to her. Hi, Abby's sick and can't come in. Well, do you want her to be barfing all over the patients? I understand you're swamped but she's sick." Carter said, right as Abby came in.
"John, its ok I'm feeling better I'll come in." Abby said, taking the phone from Carter, "Never mind Kerry, I'll be in." Abby said, then hung up the phone.
"Abby, are you sure? You just spent all morning barfing." Carter said, checking to see if she had a temperature.
"John, really I'm fine, I feel a lot better all of the sudden." Abby said.
"Alright, but promise me if you start feeling sick at work you'll go home." Carter said, satisfied that she didn't have a temperature.
"Fine, I promise." Abby said, going to get cleaned up, "I'll be ready to go in a few minutes."

The ER
"Abby are you alright? You look kinda pale." Susan said walking towards her.
"YES! I'm fine, that's like the millionth time I've heard that today." Abby said, running her hands through her hair.
"Ok, just wanted to make sure." Susan said, set her chart down.
"Well, thanks, I guess." Abby said, getting a chart and walking away just as Carter walked to the desk.
"Man, what wrong with Abby?" Susan asked.
"What do you mean what's wrong? Is she getting sick again? Carter asked all of the sudden worried.
"No, Carter calm down, she just looked a little pale and was kinda snappy." Susan said, trying to get Carter to chill out.
"Its just she was barfing this morning, and she insisted on coming into work, but she didn't have a fever or anything." Carter said, trying to figure out what could be wrong.
"You don't think it could be anything else?" Susan asked.
"Like what?" Carter said, thinking Susan knew something he didn't.
"Like what? How did you ever become a doctor, Carter?" Susan as she walked away, laughing.
"What?" Carter thought until the realization of what Susan said hit him, then he ran to go find Abby.

Exam 2
"Ok, Mrs. Anderson, the doctor will be right in to examine you." Abby said.
"Thank you, by the way do you feel alright?" Mrs. Anderson asked, causing Abby to leave the room.
"Hey! Abby! I was looking all over for you!" Carter said, out of breath.
"Is everything ok?" Abby asked, slightly worried.
"Yeah, at least I think so, when is your break?" Carter asked.
"In about two minutes, why?" Abby asked, still trying to figure out what was up with Carter.
"Great, meet me in the lounge and then we can go to Doc Magoo's for coffee, or something." John said heading towards the lounge.
"Okay." Abby said to herself as she watched John walk away.
~~~~~~~
Doc Magoo's
"So what is so important?" Abby asked.
"Well, you know how you were sick this morning and you haven't really been feeling the greatest the past couple of days?" Carter asked.
"Yeah, so what?" Abby asked, trying to get to the point.
"Is there any chance you could be, pregnant?" Carter asked.
"I-I guess so, I hadn't really thought about it," Abby said, " I guess it would make sense."
"What do you think about it?" Carter asked, "I mean, we weren't going to have kids until later but…"
"I guess its ok, but we don't even know for sure yet." Abby said, getting a little more excited.
"Wanna go find out for sure?" Carter asked, gathering his stuff.
"Yeah, lets go!" Abby said, very excited, nervous, and many other things now.

A private exam room
"Are you ready?" Carter asked, getting the machine ready.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Abby said, try to calm herself down.
"Ok then," Carter said, holding on to Abby's hand and working the machine.
"It looks like we…….."

I've never done a cliffhanger before so I thought I would do one now! Abby seems to me maybe a little out of character, mostly just that she's used to be a OB nurse and didn't even think that she might be pregnant. But that doesn't matter to me!! Next chapter should be up soon! However if you want it REALLY soon then review!!! One last thing, I have a question for you all…. In my head the story crossovers with Walker, Texas Ranger. Should I do that or not? It would be easy enough to do either way. If you want more details e-mail me. JingleBellsRock@hotmail.com Thanks!!!
