Luka was so angry after finding out that Richard could be the father. He decided not to see Abby until after the birth. Luka thought this was the best thing for everyone.
He went to work that day and told Susan what he was going to do. "Luka are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Susan asked. She was shocked to hear that Luka was doing this.
"I'm not sure it's right, but it's what I feel like I have to do. I'm going to see if I can work the night shifts. After I talk to Kerry that is."
"Ok, well good luck" Susan said and with that carried on with her work. Luka turned round as if to say something but stopped. He had to find Kerry. He looked all over for her, but finally found her arguing with Mark in Trauma one.
"Kerry, can I have a word with you?" He asked quietly. Luka felt bad about interrupting them.
"Luka, can it wait?" She replied and shot an angry look at him.
"Sure." Luka backed away and waited outside. He thought about Abby and Richard. 'How could she do this?! Why Richard?" Luka thought. He was interrupted when Kerry came out and spoke to him.
"Ok, what is it Luka?" She asked, still angry at Mark though. "I need to leave early today and I was wondering if I could change to the night shifts?" Luka asked.
"Can't you see we're swamped here?! Why do you need to leave early? The night shifts are fine, start from tomorrow."
Luka looked at her. He thought it was obvious why he wanted to leave early. "I need to see Abby. I need to talk to her" He said in a soft tone.
"Ok, well go now then. I'll cover for you." She said after she realised why. "Thanks Kerry" Luka replied and went to get his coat. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luka arrived at Abby apartment. He was wondering how Abby was going to react to what he was going to say.
Abby opened the door. Her eyes lit up when she saw Luka standing there.
"Hey Abby. I need to tell you something and to ask you something," Luka said as he sat down.
Abby looked at him. She had no idea what he was about to say. "What is it Luka?" Luka was silent for a moment. He cleared his throat and began. "I..I'm not going to see you until after the birth. This is getting all too much for me. Seeing you everyday, knowing that your baby may be Richard's. I haven't been able to concentrate at work lately. I also wanted to know..why Richard? Why him?!"
Abby looked down "I wasn't intending on any of this Luka. The last thing I'd want to do it hurt you! It was after we split up. I went for a walk, I couldn't face going home. Suddenly I bumped into Richard, he saw I was upset and offered to listen to me. I was completely shocked he never used to listen to me. Well we got talking and I went back to his place, and well, the rest is history. I guess he saw how vulnerable I was." Abby told Luka.
"Oh Abby. I hadn't realised what happened." Luka said, he took her hand and they talked into the night. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luka woke up the next morning on the sofa. He got up and left a note on the table and quietly shut the door behind him as he left.
He went home and as soon as he closed the door, the phone rang. It was Susan.
"Luka, how are you? How did it go?" She asked. She was worried about him.
"It went ok, I think she took it well. Listen Susan, thanks for phoning." Luka said.
Before Susan had a chance to say anything, Luka hung up. All he wanted was to be on his own.
