One Moment Can Change Your World
John and Abby's apartment
"What time do you have to work?" Carter asked Abby as he were eating breakfast.
"Not until 10." Abby replied.
"Lucky, don't you want to come in early with me." Carter said as he leaned over the table to kiss her.
"I think I'll just go in at 10, thank you." Abby said.
"Your no fun" Carter said, putting their dishes in the sink.
"I'm pregnant, grouchy, and someone got me up way to early this morning." Abby said glaring at Carter.
"Yeah, I won't try that again." Carter said, going to finish getting ready, sulking the best he could.
"Geez Carter, I'm just joking." Abby said, going over to him.
"I know" Carter said, holding her in his arms, "You gonna be Ok, coming into work by yourself?"
"Yes Carter, I'll be fine, its not like it's the first time or anything." Abby said, looking up at him, "Besides I won't be by myself" Abby said putting her hands on her stomach.
"Just think, in a little less than 4 months we'll have our own little baby to take care of." Carter said putting his hands on Abby's stomach.
"And our little baby has her own name now," Abby added, "Megan Elizabeth Carter."
"I can't wait to meet you Meg," Carter said, talking to Abby's stomach.
"Carter," Abby said, rolling her eyes. "You better go your gonna be late."
"Fine," Carter said as he leaned in to kiss her, "I love you, see you at work."
"Bye, Love You" Abby said, watching as he left.

The ER 10:30
"Carter, where in the world is Abby?" Weaver said, especially grumpy today.
"I don't know she should have been here by now." Carter said, almost frantic with worry.
"She might just be running late, it does take longer to get ready when your pregnant," Jing Mei said.
"She was basically ready when I left!" Carter said, trying to call her cell phone, again.
"Oh my gosh," Susan said, looking up at the TV.
"In the latest news a car crash kills 2 and seriously injures 1. The crash happened at about 9:45 this morning when the driver of a Black suv flipped over, running into another car. The driver of the second car was sent to Mercy General Hospital No further information is being given until the family's are notified."
"That's Abby's car! That's Abby's car!" Carter said, as he ran out to his car, and drove to Mercy.

Mercy General Hospital
Carter ran up to the desk, "I saw the car crash on the TV, my wife, I think she was the other driver, is she Ok, is the baby Ok? Where is she? I want to see her!" Carter said, almost hysterical.
"Calm down Sir, what's your wife's name?" The guy at the front desk asked.
"Abigail Carter, was it her? Was my Abby hurt?" Carter asked, afraid to know the answer.
"Sir, if you'll sit down I'll have her doctor come find you when they are done." The guy at the front desk said.
"It was her, it was my Abby, my Abby," Carter said, as he went to sit down, he couldn't think, he couldn't breathe, what was going to happen? Was she going to be Ok? Was Megan going to be Ok? Their baby, what was going to happen to their baby? How long were the doctor's going to take? Carter was just about to go about to the desk and demand to know what was going on when he heard someone call his name.
"Carter, was it her." Susan asked, as she sat down by him.
"Yeah, and I don't know what's going on, I haven't heard anything yet." Carter said, his head in his hands, "Why don't you just go home, I'll let you know what happens."
"I'm staying here, it's gonna be ok." Susan was saying right as the doctor came over.
"Mr. Carter? I'm Doctor Gleason" the doctor said.
"Dr. Carter, did you work on my wife?" Carter asked, up off his seat waiting for a reply.
"Yes, your wife suffered some severe injuries, she should be ok after a lot of rest and a long hospital stay." Dr. Gleason said.
"What about Megan, our baby?" Carter asked, he could tell he was avoiding the subject, he himself had done it a thousand times.
Dr. Gleason hesitated before he said, "The accident caused your wife to go into early labor, I'm sorry, we couldn't save her."
Carter couldn't believe it, he found himself sinking to the floor, he could hear Susan come to comfort him, but it didn't matter. How could this happen? How could his daughter die? Before he even got to meet her, before he even got to hold her. It wasn't fair! Then Abby came to his mind, Abby would be Ok, what would she think? She was so unsure at first, the past few months she had really become sure that this was what she wanted. Now it was gone, forever.
"Dr. Carter?" Dr. Gleason asked.
"What." Carter said looking up at the doctor, "If you want to go see your wife I can take you."
Abby, that's what he wanted, what he needed, he needed to hold her in his arms, and never let go.
"Take me to her." Carter said, leaving Susan there and walking keeping his eyes on his destination, not looking at all the pity stares he was getting, he was going to see his Abby, but would that make it all better?
