The following months were a little slow in the ER compared to the festive seasons, not that Carter minded. However he couldn't stop thinking about Sara. She looked amazing in that outfit, actually she looked great no matter what she was wearing. But he realised that nothing could come of it, as she was a Med. student. But in a year or two she wouldn't be a Med. student any more and then there would be nothing wrong with him asking her out. Not that she'd say yes of course. He'd come to notice that there were plenty of guys who had attempted to be with Sara many of whom were better looking than himself, so he very much doubted that anything would come of their relationship.
However Carter and Sara had become good friends. Sara attended the basketball match and left the opposition in awe after scoring more than 11 times in the first half and assisting her team mates in their own small victories. She was good, actually she was excellent at basketball, almost as good as she was in her studies. Carter was surprised that even after going clubbing the two nights prior to her exam she still managed to retain the top position in her class. She was pretty, clever and had a great personality which was a very rare package to find.
She'd taken Carter to a yoga class and they had had fun learning new moves such as the "locust". Sara had teased Carter over his stiff physique, while she completed the moves flawlessly.
Carter had also met Sara's family. Although a bit intimidating at first, he soon learned that J and Tyrese were two really nice guys who loved Sara a lot.
Carter even met the children that Sara was so besotted over and he understood why. Tara and Will were the most entertaining children he'd ever met. Constantly up to mischief, always fighting, or making noise but they would always stick up for one another if need be. Will and Tara were really good at dancing, and learnt from Sara and Tyrese. J said they reminded him, of Sara and Tyrese when they were younger. Apparently Sara and Ty would rule the dance floors in clubs even though they were underage, win contests and Sara was part of a performing group which consisted of 3 other girls. Sara used to be the lead singer. Carter had tried to get Sara to do a demo but she refused no matter how much Carter pestered her.
Will and Tara had tried to out smart Sara a number of times but found it impossible. According to J, she had made up every excuse in the book, tried out every trick and there was no way on earth they could fool her. Tara and Eric were Omarions children and they lived in Sara's family house with their mum, Lisa, J and J's girlfriend. But Sara had her own apartment, which was 10 minutes away from the hospital and her family house. Her apartment was very nice. She had two spare bedrooms for the kids and Lisa when they would stay around.
Carter had spent a lot of his free time there, watching movies, talking and eating food that Sara insisted on feeding him because she thought his existing diet of take out was too unhealthy. Susan and Abby often joined them.
The 3 of them had started a girls club and would insist on going clubbing once a week. Each time they would leave the ER for a club, Sara always looked gorgeous hence Susan and Abby insisted on nicking Sara's cloths and made regular visits to her apartment.
However Carter had also noticed that Pratt and Sara had become very good friends. They would often go to lunch together and talk a lot and he saw a side to Pratt he had never seen before. But then again the only side Carter had ever seen was a cocky side.
