There was advantages to being pregnant and Abby had discovered
everyone of them. Carter was waiting on her hand and foot getting her
everything she wanted or needed. And she still had just over four months
to go.
She loved the times that she and Carter just spent together as a couple doing normal couply things. She used to watch Mark and Elizabeth before his death and think how much she wanted their life.
Tonight was no different. It was Friday night and they had both finished work at five. When they got home Abby had jumped into the shower while Carter made a meal. After eating they settled down in front of the television to watch a movie. it was their ideal night in. Snuggled in one anothers arms watching a movie. Depending on who had the choice of movie depended on whether Abby fell asleep or not. She lay on the sofa leaning against Carter's shoulder. One hand was stroking her hair and neck while the other was protectively round her and his hand on her stomach. He would occasionally drop small kisses on her head. Tonight's movie had been Abby's choice, although Carter had to admit that he liked the movie too.
Halfway through the movie Carter felt something. "Abby did you feel that?" His hand remained on her stomach. She looked up to him with a tear in her eye and nodded. They both knew that they had felt their child move for the first time. Carter claimed Abby's mouth for his own. "I love you Mrs Carter and baby Carter."
The movie was almost finished when Carter let his hand that had been resting on her stomach, run up under her top and caress her left breast. The soreness had gone from them but they were still a little tender. She arched her back against him. It had been a while since they had been together in that way. She longed for him to touch her but they had both been a little frightened. With the fact she had miscarried before, could it happen again if they made love. After a consultation with her OB doctor they were assured nothing like that would happen. "John, please." It was all she had to say to him and he knew. He hit the stop button on the video and lifted her into his arms, taking her upstairs to make love to her.
The following morning they entered work with huge smiles on their faces. Susan noted a difference in their moods straight away. "So things are good on the home front I take it?" She asked Abby while they stood in the drugs lock-up taking a stock count for the day.
"Very well thanks." Abby said while a blushing of colour came across her cheeks.
"Abby, I am so pleased for you both. I mean that." Susan patted her best friend on the back as she said it. "By the way did you hear who's coming back?"
"No, who?"
"Doug and Carol."
"No way. When?"
"In about a month. After they were here for your wedding they realised how much they missed Chicago. Doug's been trying for the last few months to find work here and he found it. He'll be working at Mercy while Carol will come back here after her maternity leave is over."
"Probably right in time for mine to start. I can't believe that little Staci is two months old now. Wonder if she looks like Carol as well."
"Hope so. I mean not that Doug isn't a hunk or anything but to end up with his looks instead of Carols would be disastrous."
"I don't care who this one looks like as long as it's healthy." Abby said while touching her stomach.
"So has he or she kicked yet?" Susan asked.
"Yeah, last night, he or she decided they anted us to know they were there. Wait, here feel." Abby grabbed her friends hand and placed it on her stomach. Baby Carter was kicking furiously at Abby's insides.
"Abby this is so amazing." Susan was astounded by what she was feeling. "Hey Carter get in here." Susan called out to the passing doctor. "Your kid is booting lumps out of it's mother."
Carter smiled at Susan and then to his wife who stood with an amazing glow about her that day. He placed his hand on her stomach and sure enough there were kicks coming fast and furious. "Hey little one, give your mom a rest." He spoke to Abby's stomach as if it understood.
