Susan's POV
So there it was my best friend was pregnant with my other best friend's child. The only problem was he was missing in action. Why had he gone to Africa? Why couldn't he just stay and be with her? Abby was missing him like crazy. Nothing anyone said made her feel any better. I was doing my bit, trying to help her through but I wasn't Carter. That was whom she needed.
We finally managed to get her to go home after that phone call. She was devastated when she thought he was dead. When I explained he was just missing she let out a little sigh of relief but it wasn't what she wanted to hear. She wanted to hear that he was on the next plane home. Abby was pregnant with his child and all she had told me was that she wanted to be in his arms and never leave them ever again.
It's my turn to go over to hers tonight. We have each been taking turns to see her every night. Even Weaver took a turn. There seems to be a bond between the two of them. Something must have happened but no-one else knows.
So anyway I reached her apartment around seven thirty. I could see light shining from the living room window. If I knew Abby she would be sitting in front of the TV watching some sappy love story movie. I used the key Carter had given me to open the door. I climbed the steps and made it to outside her apartment. No noise came from inside. Not even the TV. I opened her apartment door and quietly walked in. Maybe she was in the bath. But no, there she was lying on the sofa sound asleep. She looked peaceful this time. There was even a hint of a smile on her face. Her hand lay protectively over her stomach.
Abby's POV
I woke when I heard the kettle on in the kitchen. At first I thought maybe it was him, but no I was deluding myself yet again. He wasn't here. He was lost somewhere in Africa. Why did you have to go John? I am pregnant with your child. I am sorry for all the things I said to you, sorry for all the things I did to hurt you. promise that if you come home to me I will never hurt you ever again. I just want you to lie beside me and feel our child growing inside me.
Susan did an ultrasound for me. I turns out I am almost three months gone. God and I was the OB nurse. You would think I would recognise the symptoms. I have found myself walking round the apartment with my hand on my stomach. It has not grown yet and in a way I do not want it to. If it grows and he is not here to enjoy that with me then it will make me even more sad. He does not know that I am pregnant but if he did I am sure he would have been on the first flight home to be by my side.
Please come home to me John. I love you and miss you. I cannot do this on my own.
