Chapter 6

John ran out of the trauma room, stripping off his gowns and throwing them on the floor.

"Jerry is there an ambulance in the bay"

"ummmm Yeh Dr Carter I think there is"

"good" John sighed to himself, he ran out of the ER at break neck speed and ran in front of a ambulance just about to leave

"Dr Carter what are you doing" the driver shouted

"I've got to get home, you've got to take me, Abby's in labour" "ok jump in, we'll just radio in" They sped off, through the busy streets of Chicago

"please hurry" John pleaded with the driver

"I'm going as fast as I can" replied the driver

As they pulled up to his house he could hear Abby screaming through an opened window.

As John fumbled with his keys he shouted up towards the open window, "Abby don't worry I'm coming" He sped up the stairs at lightening pace

"Oh God John I'm so glad you're here" the paramedics ran up the stairs behind him and started hooking Abby up to all sorts of different monitors "ok Abby, I need you to move into this chair for me please" said one of the paramedics

"ok, ok gently baby" cooed John as Abby struggled to move into the chair

Abby screamed again as another contraction ripped through her body, John grabbed her hand and at once regretted it as she held it with such force he felt as though every bone in his hand was going to break.

As soon as the contraction stopped the paramedics lifted up Abby in the chair and took her down to the ambulance, before long they were well on their way to Cook County ER, Abby's contractions coming much faster.
