Finding out
A private exam room
"It looks like we are going to have a baby!!" Carter said.
"Wow, look at that, its our baby." Abby said.
"Yeah, are you nervous?" Carter asked.
"Like crazy, you?" Abby asked.
"Of course, it looks like we are about 5 weeks along." Carter said, not being able to take his eyes from the screen.
"That's amazing! I can't believe we are actually having a baby!" Abby said, just as Susan came in.
"Oh sorry, didn't know anybody was….." Susan said, her words trailing off when she saw the screen. "Are you? Is that?"
"Yeah, we're gonna have a baby!!" Abby said, smiling at Carter.
"Wow! That's so cool!" Susan said going to give Abby and Carter each a hug. "I have to go I have a, um, patient waiting, yeah." Susan said as she backed out of the room.
"You realize everyone is gonna know in about 5 minutes." Carter said, laughing to himself.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter to me." Abby said, leaning over to kiss Carter.
"I wish we didn't have to go back out there." Carter said.
"Yeah well, this kid is gonna need stuff, so we gotta go earn some money!" Abby said, jokingly.
"Now take it easy." Carter said, already getting protective.
"I'm pregnant John, not diseased." Abby said, laughing as she got up to get changed.
"I know, but still, you can be careful." Carter said, putting the machine away.
"Carter! Abby! Get your butts out here and get back to work!" Kerry said, opening the door yelling at them, then leaving.
"Yes ma'am." Carter said as he and Abby walked out the door.
"Abby, congratulations! When are you due?" Jing Mei said as she walked by.
"Um, Thanks and I'm not sure." Abby said.
"Carter! Abby! Congratulations! Any ideas on names?" Haleh said coming over to them.
"No not yet, but we'll let you know." Carter said, as he and Abby moved towards the desk where Susan was.
"Susan, was there anybody you didn't tell?" Abby asked as she grabbed a chart.
"Let me think about that, uh, maybe that guy who fixes the candy machine, no wait, maybe I did." Susan said watching as Carter and Abby stared at her, "I'm just joking, I told a few people, who told a few people who…."
"Yeah, I get, thanks Susan." Carter said, knowing that this would happen.
"It doesn't matter John, we were going to tell them sometime." Abby said.
"That's right, just think of it as a baby gift." Susan said, laughing.
"Oh, you better be getting us something better than that." Carter said as he walked off to go see a patient.

The lounge
As Abby gathers her stuff to go home, Luka walks in. "Hey Abby, so I heard the news, I'm happy for you." Luka says as he gets a cup of coffee.
"Thanks Luka" Abby said.
"So were you guys planning this or…" Luka said, not being able to finish before Abby cut him off.
"It just happened, but we are really happy." Abby said, hurrying to get the rest of her stuff ready.
"Good, I'm glad, I'll see you later." Luka said as he walked out of the room.
"Whoa, that was odd," Abby thought as she watched Luka leave.
"Hey Abby, are you ready yet?" Carter said as he poked his head in the door.
"Yep I'm coming, I'm ready to go home and sit and do nothing, ooh and maybe eat some ice cream!" Abby said as she left the lounge.
"Sounds good to me" Carter said as they walked out of the ER.

A/N: What did you think?? Please let me know! Lets see, what did I want to say? Oh yeah, did you know that in the ER there is no such thing as a "private exam room?" and I don't like Luka too much, especially in current episodes. Uh, next chapter should be up very soon, within hours maybe! Depends how much work I wanna do. As always please read and review!! Thanks!
