Chapter 4
-----------------------------------
I can't understand why people
are frightened by new ideas.
I'm frightened of old ones.
----------------------------------
"Knock, Knock." My prince Charming, my knight in shining armour, my Anthony. Calls from the hall way of the apartment building. Okay so yeah I'm a sap, but what can I say he's helped me get over Carter, he's sweet, sexy and cute. "Hey." I say grinning from ear to ear, swinging open the door. He leans over and pecks my cheek. "For you!" He says handing me flowers. They're not dead, that's okay though. The only person who really got my "dead flower" thing was Carter. He was also the only one who ever bought me dead flowers. I set them on the table and signal for Anthony to take a seat. "Uh- Carter, he's late so the twins are still here."
"Oh- is that okay with you? I mean they don't know who I am and everything!" He stammers worriedly, he's such a gentlemen.
"Yeah, they won't know anything is going on. I'm just going to go get them ready to leave, they're stalling." He smiles at me nervously as I leave to get my boys ready.
"Mommy, was that dad?" Logan asks, walking out of his bedroom.
"No, honey daddy isn't here yet, where's Jeremy?" I ask in a rush. Logan shoves an animal cracker into his mouth and points towards the bedroom. He scurries off to the living room and I remember Anthony is in there, and run into find Jeremy so I can prevent Logan from spending too much time with him. "Jeremy?" I call pushing open his bedroom door. "I'm in the dark!" He screams, I walk over to him and pull the red gap sweater over his head, picking him up and bringing him out to the living room.
"Daddy, I was lost but mommy found me." Jeremy calls to Carter, who is standing beside Anthony who is still sitting on the couch. "Ha, really, come here lets get going." He says grabbing Jeremy from me and taking Logan's hand. "Are you going to kiss my mommy?" Logan asks poking his head back into the room looking at Anthony sternly. "Logan come on, lets go buddy." Carter called from the hall. "I don't want him to kiss her." He hollered back to Carter, I could hear Carter coming closer to the door and picking Logan up with his other hand. I guess Logan figured something out, or heard Carter say something to Anthony.
"No ones kissing anyone." Carter stated firmly.
"You should kiss mommy." Jeremy laughed, wriggling free of Carters grip and jumping out his arms, to run free through the apartment, Logan followed suit. "Logan, Jer, get back here! Mommy has to go out and daddy wants to spend sometime with you. He works tomorrow." I chased after them leaving the men in the living room alone again.
"Jeremy? Logan?" I walked into there bedroom and heard stifled giggles, following the noise to the closet. I opened it and looked inside to see them huddling on the floor.
"Guys lets go!" I instructed them dragging them out of the closet. Usually they love spending time with Carter, they look forward to his visits and sleeping at his house. I had a pretty good idea though that this behaviour had something to do with Anthony. Although they didn't know what exactly was going on between Anthony and myself I was sure they could sense it.
"Mommy?"
"Yeah, Logan?" I ask pulling his blue gap sweater off his bed. Then pulling it over his head.
"Why does daddy hate that man out there?" He pondered.
"daddy likes him." I fib.
"No he doesn't. I heard him say while I was walking into the room, that if he hurt you he'd kill him." Logan explained. Oh boy, why couldn't John threaten people when the kids were far, far away. "He did, did he." I said taking both their hands and leading them out into the living room, where John and Anthony were having a heated discussion to say the least. "John do you mind if I talk to you in the bedroom for a moment?"
"yeah sure, I'll be one second guys, then the three of us will go to McDonald's!" They're faces lit up. He knew how to impress the boys. Too bad he wasn't as good at impressing me. John followed me into the bedroom closing the door behind himself. "Make this quick, I don't want him out there with our boys." He bitched.
"See, John, that's not your call to make, and its also not your call to THREATEN my dates." I said emphasizing the threaten.
"Look, I don't want you dating him." I couldn't stand him, not tonight.
"I don't care what you want. I didn't want Tanya at my boys birthday party, but she was there and I did not complain ONCE!"
"Oh, so now you're throwing the way Tanya acted in my face?" He spit.
"You know what just go. Here are the twins bags." I said throwing there stuff at him.
"I'll pick them up in the morning, around 9, before you go to work!" I barked as I left the room to hug my boys and left with Anthony. Leaving Carter to lock the door.
------------------------
Humour is laughing
at what you haven't
got when you ought
to have it.
------------------------
"I really am sorry about Carter."
"Abby, don't worry about it. It was 2 days ago. Besides I think I could take him." We laughed together at this. I didn't care whether Anthony could beat Carter up or not, I just liked being with him. Near him. Around him. I lay across as we cuddle on the couch. The boys were sleeping at Carters tonight. "So, this baby, when's the next appointment?" Anthony asked rubbing my stomach.
"Um- a couple weeks." I say popping a piece of orange into my mouth, then one into Anthony's. "Do...You want me to go with you?" he asked tucking a stray hair behind my ear. "Oh- I don't know Anth-"
"Don't worry I shouldn't have even asked." He said, he looked rather embarrassed as he got up from lying down with me into a sitting position. I brushed my hair away form my eyes. "Its just that Carter, he-"
"Don't worry, I shouldn't have even said anything." He rushed off the couch and got his jacket on. "I have- I have an early case tomorrow, I really should go home." He leaned forward and kissed me roughly on the lips. I watched as he scurried out of the apartment rather abruptly. I wondered why he was upset up about this. This was in fact my child with Carter. I didn't think it would go over well with John if Anthony was there. I was not understanding men lately, I decided that I would bitch and moan about the to the one person who I knew would bitch and moan with me. Susan.
"Susan? Its Abby!"
"Hey Abby." She says cheerily, she probably just got laid. "What's up?" She continues.
"Anthony just left, in a rush. He asked if he could come to my next appointment with me, and I said, well I didn't actually get to say no because he interrupted me. I was about to say no though and he acted offended and left." I gloomily explained.
"He probably wants Carter out of the picture you know. Just you, Logan, Jeremy, Jody and Chalyn or whatever that Childs name is. He doesn't want Carter in the picture with you guys it disturbs his idealistic family." She comments. I never thought of it like that, but no matter what Anthony does Carter is the father of my children, almost three children now and its not going to change. I explained everything to Anthony and he said he was fine with it. "So your saying he wants to be the father of all my children including the unborn one." I ponder aloud.
"Yep. He's cute, but he has an agenda."
"How do you know this, you have only met him once." I scoff.
"Call it women's intuition." She continues half heartedly.
"If its women's intuition how come I didn't pick up on it?" I counter.
"Because he's trying to get in your pants, he's not going to give you the vibe, especially since you want him in your pants." She rations.
"Oh good god, none of this makes sense you know that right?"
"It will, give it time." She's like a freaking fortune teller, she just whips out her crystal ball and predicts the future.
"Okay then. Carters acting strangely I think he just doesn't like that I'm with someone and he's not." "Or...He's in love with you, and dated Tanya to make you jealous, not considering the fact that you just may go out and find yourself your own little Tanya and now the shoe is on the other foot." Seriously this women she amazes me sometimes.
"Okay, lets talk about Chuck then maybe I can psycho analyze your life." I laugh.
"Chuck is great. He's coming over after his shift. I'm excited. I love him, I don't know why I divorced him in the first place. I think I might want to marry him." She gushes.
I hope she does, he makes her so happy and then have been together for 3 years now, its about time they tie that knot. Its funny the ways you can meet someone, and you don't fine out until later how perfect that person really is for you. Maybe if Carter and I had started differently, slower maybe. I don't know it confuses me. Right now I confuse myself. "Abby, I got to go, Chuck is at the door. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow." She whispers into the phone. I laugh and hang up.
----------------------------------------
How come you have enough time
to go out and make other people
fall in love with you, but you
don't have enough time to pay
attention to the one who already
does.
-----------------------------------------
"The GSW, in Trauma 1 is stable, and the broken wrist in 3, should be ready to go." I tell Carter as we walk through the halls of County leafing through charts. "Okay, um what about the guy in Curtain 1?"
"Uh- the guy who thinks the devils trying to extract his brain from his head? I called for a psych consult."
"Good call."
"Well, that's it for me." I say dropping the charts off at admit.
"Yeah, you going to pick the twins up now?" He asks flipping through a chart.
"Yeah. I think we're going to go home and to the park or something, watch a movie have a nice little family night. We use to do that all the time in New York, just the three of us."
It was a tradition, on Friday nights we would watch a movie, the twins would switch weekends, on who got to choose the movie. We haven't done that since moving to Chicago things have gotten hectic and we have now just settled down, so it will be nice to start back up with old traditions. "Oh, do you want some company?" He hesitates asking.
"Um, I don't know I'll ask the twins." I smile, "How was lunch?"
"Good, we walked around by the river. You know the spot."
"Yeah." We haven't talked about anything other then work and the twins, since I kicked him out a week ago and he doesn't know that Anthony is kind of upset with me right now. I would not tell him though because that would make his day and I'm not about to do that.
"Okay, um why don't I call you when my shift is over at 6, which is in 2 hours and you can tell me if you want me to crash your little party." He grinned, as he tapped me on the shoulder. "I'm going to my locker, Tammy said she would bring the boys down, from the daycare centre on her way out. If you see her just tell her I'm in the lounge." I walked into the lounge gathering my coat and such out of it. I looked at my locker door and saw my pictures. One of the boys sitting on Eric's lap at Christmas wearing matching outfits, each in khakis and a navy blue button up shirt, a plaid shirt, with suspenders. Another one of Carter and the boys when we were staying with him, the boys sprawled out across him, as he reads them they're favourite fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs." My last picture is of Anthony and I his arm wrapped protectively around my waist, I pick up this picture and look at it, thinking about what Susan said, about Anthony wanting to be the ONLY male in my life, and erasing Carter completely. I closed the locker still clutching my picture in my right hand and one the way out tossed it in the trash.
"Hey, guys." I say approaching the admit desk.
"Hey mommy, Pratt is teaching my how to listen to my chest." Jeremy said with a huge smile. "Hey, Abby these kids are cool!" Pratt said picking Jeremy up, and taking him to see the board. I looked over at Gallant who was working on the computer and talking to Logan at the same time. "Hey, what are you doing with my kids?" Carter said walking by me to Pratt and Jeremy. "Calm down, I'm just teaching the kid about the board."
I smiled looking up from the last chart I was filling out. I stuck it in the bin. "Okay boys, say good bye to Pratt, Gallant and Daddy." I grab my purse and start towards the door.
"Here I'll walk you guys out." Carter says grabbing Logan off the desk, and Pratt follows with Jeremy still in his arms. I take Jeremy from Pratt and the four of us walk towards the car.
---------------------------------------
You made me think you loved me
You made me think it was true
But now that we're together
I'm already done with you
---------------------------------------
"Daddy, its like your part of the trodichion too?" Jeremy said, trying to wrap his mouth around the big word. Jeremy sat on my lap resting his head on my chest as Logan was stretched out across Carter, all four of us jammed on to one couch. My legs resting on Carters, Logan yawned loudly, just as the credits rolled. "Fini!" Carter said lifting Logan up and tickling his chest. "Bed time." I said bear hugging Jeremy.
"No story, daddy. We just have to go to sleep tonight." Jeremy said gloomily
"I know guys, but you got to watch a movie" he exclaimed excitedly.
"YAY!!! I love that movie too!" Logan shouted
"Spy kids are the best." Jeremy laughed.
"Okay guys bed now, your in your pyjamas now just wash your face and brush your teeth." I instructed following them into the washroom, Carter trailing behind us.
Okay, I'll take Jeremy, you take The Logan!" Carter told me, picking Jeremy up and bringing him closer so he could help him brush his teeth and wash up.
"Night guys." Carter and I waved as we left the twins room.
"Do you want something to eat or drink?" I offered as we headed towards the kitchen.
"Uh- no thanks!"
"Okay I'm just going to make some popcorn."
I popped open the microwave and stuck the bag of popcorn in, just as the phone started to ring. "Carter can you get that?" I asked, he nodded popping a chip into his mouth.
"Hello?" I heard him say.
"Yeah, she's here." I was wondering who he was talking too, it was 10:00 at night, not many people called me that late considering I have little boys who are in bed.
"Why am I here? To see my kids. Look do you want to talk to Abby or harass me?" Now I knew who it was. "Carter give me the phone." I said ripping it from his grip. He glared angrily at me. I just shooed my hand at him and told him to bug off.
"Hey Anthony." I hasn't spoken to Anthony since he left that night, I was avoiding his phone calls. "Hey why haven't you called me back I left like 20 messages on your machine." Only 20? It must have been at least 30.
"Oh, my machine hasn't been working, I mean it - it doesn't, it doesn't let me listen to messages, you can leave them-" Carter gave me a confused look.
"Abby what's going on here?" Anthony demanded.
"Look, Anthony, what you said, about- " I stopped realizing Carter was here.
"About what?"
"Look can we finish this later, I have a guest." I begged.
"Abby, no I want to know now. I deserve to know. Go to another room."
"He'll hear me no matter where I go." I informed him. Which was true. Lucky for me the twins were heavy sleepers. It was harder to hear in things in their bedrooms though. But voices carried. "When you told me you wanted to come to my next O.B appointment, it, well it freaked me out." I looked at Carter whose facial expression had gone from confused, enraged. "It made me think you were trying to eliminate Carter from my life and the twins life and our unborn Childs life and replace him with you."
"That's not what I'm trying to do. Not for the twins at least, or the unborn baby. I love you Abby, I know I haven't told you this but I do. More then you can imagine. I mean I haven't felt this way about anyone since my wife, and you, you're different. Special." I could hear him smiling, like I said before I have a knack for these things. "I don't want Carter in your life, honestly, at least not more then the father of your children. I fear that he still has your love. That he's the one you want. I don't like when you guys hang out together even if it is just for the twins. But he's there now and I bet the twins are in bed."
He bet right, but I liked Carter, I felt comfortable around him, and enjoyed his company.
"They are in bed, and Anthony, I like you, care about you, a lot. I can't stop being friends with John though. I just could never do that." I was looking Carter in the eye as I said this. He smiled, and I blushed.

"Mommy, was that dad?" Logan asks, walking out of his bedroom.
"No, honey daddy isn't here yet, where's Jeremy?" I ask in a rush. Logan shoves an animal cracker into his mouth and points towards the bedroom. He scurries off to the living room and I remember Anthony is in there, and run into find Jeremy so I can prevent Logan from spending too much time with him. "Jeremy?"

"John do you mind if I talk to you in the bedroom for a moment?"
"yeah sure, I'll be one second guys, then the three of us will go to McDonald's!" They're faces lit up. He knew how to impress the boys. Too bad he wasn't as good at impressing me.

"See, John, that's not your call to make, and its also not your call to THREATEN my dates." I said emphasizing the threaten.
"Look, I don't want you dating him." I couldn't stand him, not tonight.

"Okay guys bed now, your in your pyjamas now just wash your face and brush your teeth." I instructed following them into the washroom, Carter trailing behind us.
Okay, I'll take Jeremy, you take The Logan!" Carter told me, picking Jeremy up and bringing him closer so he could help him brush his teeth and wash up.
"Night guys." Carter and I waved as we left the twins room.
"Do you want something to eat or drink?" I offered as we headed towards the kitchen.
"Uh- no thanks!"
"Okay I'm just going to make some popcorn."
I popped open the microwave and stuck the bag of popcorn in, just as the phone started to ring. "Carter can you get that?" I asked, he nodded popping a chip into his mouth.
"Hello?" I heard him say.
"Yeah, she's here." I was wondering who he was talking too, it was 10:00 at night, not many people called me that late considering I have little boys who are in bed.
"Why am I here? To see my kids. Look do you want to talk to Abby or harass me?" Now I knew who it was. "Carter give me the phone." I said ripping it from his grip. He glared angrily at me. I just shooed my hand at him and told him to bug off.
"Hey Anthony." I hasn't spoken to Anthony since he left that night, I was avoiding his phone calls. "Hey why haven't you called me back I left like 20 messages on your machine." Only 20? It must have been at least 30.
"Oh, my machine hasn't been working, I mean it - it doesn't, it doesn't let me listen to messages, you can leave them-" Carter gave me a confused look.
"Abby what's going on here?" Anthony demanded.
"Look, Anthony, what you said, about- " I stopped realizing Carter was here.
"About what?"
"Look can we finish this later, I have a guest." I begged.
"Abby, no I want to know now. I deserve to know. Go to another room."
"He'll hear me no matter where I go." I informed him. Which was true. Lucky for me the twins were heavy sleepers. It was harder to hear in things in their bedrooms though. But voices carried. "When you told me you wanted to come to my next O.B appointment, it, well it freaked me out." I looked at Carter whose facial expression had gone from confused, enraged. "It made me think you were trying to eliminate Carter from my life and the twins life and our unborn Childs life and replace him with you."
"That's not what I'm trying to do. Not for the twins at least, or the unborn baby. I love you Abby, I know I haven't told you this but I do. More then you can imagine. I mean I haven't felt this way about anyone since my wife, and you, you're different. Special." I could hear him smiling, like I said before I have a knack for these things. "I don't want Carter in your life, honestly, at least not more then the father of your children. I fear that he still has your love. That he's the one you want. I don't like when you guys hang out together even if it is just for the twins. But he's there now and I bet the twins are in bed."
He bet right, but I liked Carter, I felt comfortable around him, and enjoyed his company.
"They are in bed, and Anthony, I like you, care about you, a lot. I can't stop being friends with John though. I just could never do that." I was looking Carter in the eye as I said this. He smiled, and I blushed.
