Susan's POV
I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. My best friend has just given birth to a beautiful little girl. Abby did so well. She shouted on John a lot but then who wouldn't. She had called me at six o'clock this morning informing me that her waters had broken. I jumped in the car and picked her up. We were at the hospital in no time and with everyone wishing her luck in the ER we headed up here to OB.
It was now my duty to call down stairs to let them know about the newest member of the ER family. But wait who was this stopping me. "OH MY GOD!"

"Hi Susan." He was so calm. He had just seen his child brought into he world. It was through a glass window but he had been there.
Susan threw herself into his arms, crying tears of relief. "Where the hell have you been?" Susan asked impatiently. "Do you realise what you have put us all through?"
"I know. I am so sorry, but I had no way of getting any news out. How is she?" He asked pointing through the window to where the love of his life lay awaiting to hold her child for the first time. He watched as Doctor Coburn placed the little bundle wrapped in pink into Abby's Arms. "I have a daughter?"
"Yeah you do." Susan couldn't stop the tears flowing. "John she has missed you so much. We all thought at open point she was going to kill herself. But then the pregnancy happened. It's the only thing keeping her going."
"I don't know what to say to her when I see her."
"Trust your instincts." Susan said opening the e door to the room for him.
"Hi baby girl, you are so beautiful." Abby cooed down to her baby. She was not aware of anyone entering the room. "Your daddy would have loved you so much. Just like I love you. Just like he loved me." Abby let the tears slip down her cheeks again.
"Abby." Abby froze. It was the voice she had heard so many times in her dreams. Nah, it couldn't be him. She turned her head. Her eyes grew bigger and bigger. There he was standing in front of her. She saw Susan walk round the bed and took her daughter from her arms. Tears sprung into both their eyes. "Hi gorgeous."
"I am dreaming right?" She asked Susan. Susan shook her head. "Your real. You are here, please tell me that you re here and I'm not just imagining it."
"I'm here. I promise you I am never leaving you again." Tears began to spill down his cheeks. That was when she knew he was real. He hardly ever cried. He walked up to the side of the bed and bent down beside it. He cautiously put his hand out and touched her. She still felt the same. SO soft. "Abby I am so sorry for everything I put you through. I know what you must have felt while I was away. I missed you so much that you will never realise what I wanted to do while I was away from you. I couldn't cope without you beside me. I need you to live Abby. I love you with all my heart and will never love anyone anymore than you."
Abby did not know what to say. She reached out with her hand to touch his face. He looked a little different. Thinner but tanned. He was still her Carter. Still the man she loved more than life itself. "I love you too." She whispered as she pulled his face closer to hers. Their lips seemed to fuse together as if had been only seconds from their last kiss, not six months.
Their kissed lasted an eternity. Susan could not believe what she was seeing. It was what she had hoped for. She had wanted to see Abby happy again, with the smile that lit up her eyes, and it was back. That certain twinkle she got when Carter was around. The baby in her arms began to whimper causing Abby and Carer to break apart. "So are you going to introduce me to my daughter."
Susan placed the little girl into her mothers' arms. "John, I'd like to introduce your daughter. She's 7lbs 6oz and beautiful."
"Just like her mother." John said climbing onto the bed beside Abby. He gathered his girlfriend into his arms kissing her head while stroking his daughter's cheek. "Have you thought of names for her yet?"
"Only one." Carter looked at her asking the question with his eyes. "How do you feel about Lucy Trueman Carter."
"I think it suits her perfectly. Do you know what name sounds even better though?" John said taking his daughter into his arms. Abby looked confused by it all. "Abigail Carter."
"Are you proposing?" Abby asked. John nodded. "Then I'm accepting." She told him as she reached for another kiss.
Susan stood watching tears streaming down her face. "Can I interrupt for a minute and take a picture of the new family?"
"Of course." After Susan had taken the picture Abby told her. "Susan I don't know what I would have done without you these last six months. There are no words to describe my feelings towards you. I can't thank you enough."
"There is no need for thanks. Just look after each other and my little niece. She'll need her aunt Susan one day."
Abby kissed her daughter and then her fiancé. She was so happy no words could describe how she felt. To think that six months ago she was ready for ending it all. Now look at her, Mother and about to be a wife to the man she never thought would be back.
Author's notes:- Should I leave it here or should I go on. Please let me know. And I'msorry fro calling the baby Lucy but it just sounded so perfect whe I thought of it.
