"So?" Susan pushed as I opened the door, to the apartment.
"Hey, how about we have a quick meal and a movie and get you kids up to bed early tonight okay?" I could feel the tears sting my eyes as I was looking at my beautiful children. I couldn't imagine life without them. "Hey Abby, are you okay?" Susan asked putting her hand on my arm. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I wiped my eyes and then walked over to the carpet to spend time with them, while I had it.

Love wasn't love till I met you

"Mommy, do we have to go to bed?" Logan asked as I flung him over my shoulder.
"Yes, Logan you have to go to bed." Jeremy climbed up the stairs slowly, so I bent down and put him on my hip. "Mommy, I could of done it." Jeremy, whined.
"Not tonight, maybe another time okay, we're just going to go to bed tonight its been a long day." Jeremy put his head on my shoulder like he always did, but this time it meant more to me then it ever did before. I knew Carter could win my boys he could hire the best lawyers ever, some how I had to stop him. I could give him visitation rights, but what happened when I go back to New York?
"MOMMY" Logan hollered from his bed.
"Yes!" I was tired and exasperated and I knew I was not going to get any sleep tonight.
"Who was that guy?"
"What guy?"
"The guy who called Carver." I laughed at his attempt to say Carter.
"Carter, oh he's a friend from work."
"I liked him." Jeremy tossed in. I shut the light then went downstairs.
"So what happened out there?" Susan asked while cleaning up the kitchen. I came up beside her and started to load the dishwasher. "What do you mean?" I feigned ignorance.
"I heard Screaming." No hiding from this one I guess.
"Yeah, Carter wants to try to get custody of Logan and Jeremy." I was trying no to cry now. "He wouldn't." I laughed, that's the exact same thing I thought.
"I know, but he would."
"What brought this on."
"Our fighting, I just wanted to ease him into the fathering process you know, not make him come on too hard." Susan nodded like she knew what I was talking about.
"Well you should go talk to him now."
"Now. No, I can't leave you with those two." I say. I really was hoping she would just tell me to go, so I could work this whole situation out and life could be perfect and blissful again. "No, just go." My hoping paid off, I smiled and left immediately.

When your ready to look
into the eyes of true love,
it turns its head

I ran to the Carter mansion and banged on the door, no one answered, and tonight I was feeling very impatient, so I banged again and rang the doorbell..... Still no answer.
"CARTER!" I hollered, I knew he must of heard me.
"JOHN CARTER" I screamed this time even louder.
Suddenly, a window opened and a head was stuck out. "Ms., Mr. Carter is at work tonight." I looked up, feeling kind of foolish,
"Oh I thought he worked today."
"Yes, he was off, at 4 and works the 9- 9 shift." Oh, I now i felt stupid and foolish.
"Would you like Me to give him a message." I shook my head and waved turning away.
shouting no thanks into the wind.
"Hey, Jerry, Its Abby. Is John there?" I heard him tell me to hang on, as I rounded the bend in the car.
"Hello Abby?" Carter asked rather suspiciously.
"John yah, when's your break?" I pushed,
"Why?" Great he was being a pain n the ass, why did I ever love him.
"I want to talk to you."
"Well I'm not on until 10, and its 9:25, so I guess we have time to talk if your quick."
"I'm here now." I said standing in front of him, closing my cell phone.
"Hi," He said a small smile crossing his lips, it reminded me of the time, he flew to Omaha to be with me and my crazy family. "Uh- do you want to go for walk or something." I nodded in agreeing, and walked with him to the lounge. He opened his locker and pulled out a nice light jacket wrapping it around his body. I stood about 3 feel behind him and noticed the pictures of the boys up on the door, this made me smile, and then sitting right beside it was a picture with his arms around my waist from behind, we were both smiling, remember this because it was taken at one of the parties we had attended together.
He turned around and I wiped the smile off my face and turned around to look at the pictures on the cabinet. "Uh you ready?" He asked, as he lead the way out of the lounge. I stayed two steps behind at least as we made our way past the deli that once was Doc Magoo's. We continued to walk until we got to our spot on the river, he stood leaning against the rail. I stood behind him, and watched him look out on to the river, his hair blowing in the wind and a frown plastered on his face. "Please don't take them away from me." I begged moving closer to him.
"Why not you took them away from me." He hissed not moving from his spot.
"Yes and that was wrong, I never should of deprived you or them of that relationship, it wasn't my decision, but at the time its what felt right." I hoped he would let me off, but I knew it wasn't that easy, not with Carter.
"Abby," he started as he flung his body around facing me. "I don't want to take them away from you that's the last thing that I would want to do, but you left me no choice."
I could feel the tears burning my eyes. "John please." I begged "Don't do this. I'll do anything." He raised his eyebrows and a sickening feeling hit me. HARD! "Move back to Chicago." I wasn't sure if this could actually work.
"We could work something out if you move back." He continued, he was right we probably could, but that would mean up rooting the boys and myself from New York.
"Uh- I don't Know." Carter looked at me. "Okay, I guess I could think about it." Carters face lit up and he pulled me into a hug. I was surprised but hugged him back resting my head on his chest, as his chin found the top of my head when we were interrupted by an annoying beeping sound. He looked down at his pager keeping one arm around my back. "Shit, its work." He said picking up his phone and dialling the number as he walked back pulling me by the hand. "I heard Carter nod. Okay, we're coming now, right away." Carter started to run as he hung up the phone pulling me. "What's' wrong?" I was beginning to get worried. "Susan she brought the twins in, one of them, had a seizure and fell out of bed hitting their head on the end table" I was shocked and my knees went weak. "Oh my god." Said stopping. Carter pulled me. "I can't, oh my god."
"Abby, we have to go." Carter said pulling me, I wiped my eyes.
"I can't believe-" Carter put his hand onto my shoulders,
"Abby, we don't know how bad this is so lets get there and find out." He said now running in front of me.
We both made it into the hospital out of breathe and running to the exam room on pure adrenaline. "Mommy" I cried looking at him, running towards me, Susan walking behind him with her tear streaked worried face, Carter bent down and grabbed the running arms in his hand picking him up and planting a kiss on his cheek. "Hey, Buddy. Mommy and I are just going to go see your brother, want to come?" He nodded and we walked in, I lead the way, Carter grabbed for my hand and rubbed my fingers, as I walked in.
