Chapter 2:
The morning finally arrived. It felt like the longest night to Luka. He dialled the number to Abby's apartment, but as soon as he heard her voice he froze up. He dialled again and this time he spoke, although he had no idea what to say.
"Luka.I'm glad you called. I was afraid that you weren't." Abby said. He voice sounded shaky. "I've been awake all night worrying about you."
Luka was quiet for a few minutes "I wasn't sure I was going to call you either. Abby.I just want you to know that whoever's baby this is I'll always be here for you." Luka put the phone down before Abby could say anything. He went out for a walk, he needed to clear his head. Everywhere he looked there were women with children reminding him of Abby.
Luka had been out for a few hours, he looked at his watch 'half past three..Abby should be home from work by now' he thought. Luka got on the train and went to Abby's apartment.
He knocked at the door, his hands were shaking. Abby opened the door, she was surprised to see Luka standing there. "Luka, come in. I'm glad you came over." Abby gave him a little smile to which Luka gave a half smile back. They sat down and began to talk. They talked about the baby. Luka told her that if the baby were his then he'd do the right thing. There was an awkward silence after that.
Abby decided to break the ice. She shifted on her seat and spoke. "So, are you working tonight?" Abby asked.
"Yeah, in fact, I'm on in an hour. I better go. I don't want Kerry to have a go at me." Luka put his coat on and rushed out the door.
He got to the hospital five minutes late. 'Uh oh, here we go' thought Luka as he saw Kerry approach him.
"Luka, nice of you to join us!" Kerry said sarcastically and glared at him waiting for a reply.
"Yeah, sorry Kerry" Luka apologised Luka.
"Don't let it happen again" Kerry warned him and walked off.
Luka put his coat away in his locker. He started on his way to Exam one and bumped into Susan. "Oh Luka, can you help me with this patient?" Susan asked.
Luka was distant, he didn't hear a word what Susan was saying. All he could think of was Abby and her baby.
"Huh? What? Oh yeah.sure" Luka finally replied, but not thinking about what he was saying. "Luka, are you ok? Is there something wrong? You seem distant." Susan looked at him. She could tell there was something troubling him.
"No, I'm fine thanks" Luka smiled. "Ok" Susan replied and walked away. As she did Luka turned round and called her.
"Susan! Actually, there is something, can we talk?" Luka needed to talk to someone and thought Susan would be the best person to talk to.
"Sure. I'll meet you in the lounge in a couple of minutes." Susan smiled as if to say 'don't worry' and walked away.
A couple of minutes later Luka met Susan in the lounge. He told her about Abby being pregnant and the fact that it may not be his baby. Susan couldn't believe what she was hearing 'is this the same Abby I've heard about?' Susan thought. She had no idea that this was the reason Luka had been quiet.
Luka was so relieved that he had talked to someone about it.
"Luka, what are you going to do if the baby isn't yours?" Susan didn't really want to ask this, but felt she had to.
"I don't know" Luka got up and went outside.
'Poor Luka.what on earth is he going to do?' Susan thought.
