No-ones POV
Abby was rushed in this morning and taken straight up to OB. It was finally time for her baby to be born. The staff in the ER were all very excited. They went about their business but came back to the admit desk after every patient to see if there had been any news. Jerry was keeping everyone informed. Susan was calling down from OB just to let them know progress or lack of it.
Around two in the afternoon someone walked into the ER. No-one was really paying any attention. Until he spoke. "Hey guys!"
Jerry, Malik and Chuny all looked up. "Oh my God!" Malik could not believe who stood in front of him. "Carter."
"Yeah, it's me." Chuny practically threw herself into his arms. No- one could believe it. He was back. "Is Abby working today? I went passed the apartment and no-one was there so guessed she would be here."
"Well she's here but not working." Kerry said walking up behind him. "Doctor Carter, it's great to see you. You gave us all a fright. You've been missing for so long." Kerry hugged the younger doctor. She had to admit she had missed him.
"Yeah I got lost and then there was a little bit of fighting and I've been hiding out in he mountains. Now what did you say about Abby?" If she wasn't working, why was she at the hospital.
"She's upstairs having your baby." Malik was quick to speak.
"She's what?" Everyone nodded at him. "Susan's with her. She was brought in this morning. She has missed you so much Carter." Jerry informed him.
"She's having my baby. have I been away that long?" Carter couldn't believe what he was being told. The woman he loved was having his baby and he wasn't there. He had missed her so much. Their fight before he left was silly. He wanted to call so many times and tell her he was sorry but then he had been caught up in the war.
He ran to the stairs and too them two at a time to reach OB. "Abby Lockhart please." He said when he saw a nurse.
"She's in delivery one. You can't go in though." He walked to the door of delivery room one and watched what was going on.

Inside the delivery room.

"Abby you are doing wonderfully." Doctor Coburn complemented. "On the next contraction I want you to push OK."
"Susan I want John." Abby cried. She wanted it to be him standing there holding her hand. She was very appreciative towards Susan but she wanted her man, her boyfriend, the man she loved beside her.
"I know you do honey, but he's not here. You can do this. I know you can." Susan encouraged her.
Abby felt another contraction coming. "AAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHH. John where are you. Why aren't you here." Abby screamed as Doctor Coburn counted to ten.
"That's it Abby, stop pushing right now. The heads out. On your next push, your baby will be here." Abby pushed again, squeezing Susan's hand. A small cry was heard. "Congratulations Abby, you have yourself a beautiful little girl."
"Let me see her." Abby panted. She was so tired, but the thought of her daughter was keeping her going. Doctor Coburn held up the little baby so Abby and Susan could see her. Her little red face was all scrunched up. She looked angry. The doctor took her over to the table to clean her up and weigh her before handing her to her mother. "Susan, you'd better go and call down the stairs and let them know." "Okay. You did brilliantly." Susan kissed her friend's forehead before leaving the room to get the shock of her life.
