ER
Back from the Dead-7
Epilogue: 15 years later
A Normal Day
Disclaimer: I don't own the ER cast, but I do own Jonathan Truman Carter IV (17), Lilliana Roberta carter (17), Jordan Bailey Carter (14), Crystal Alexandria Carter (12), Bradley Mitchell Carter (10) and Janet Gabrielle Carter (7). By the way, it doesn't mention their whole names for the most part, but I was bored so I gave them whole names.
(12) Nathalie is Abby's daughter, who got married to Dave. (13) Ella is Elizabeth and Mark's (who never died). (15) Kate & Tess are Carol and Doug's daughters (duh). Doug came back, so
Carol never moved (13) Johanna is Susan's daughter, who came back and married Luka. Rachel is Mark's, whose 25 with two kids and married and pregnant.
"Gaby, give me back my book!"
Lucy watched in her kitchen in her Chicago house as her youngest son, Brad, chased her younger daughter, Janet, whom everybody calls Gaby by her middle name, trying to get one of his schoolbooks back. Lucy laughed. This was the life.
"Mom."
Lucy turned to see her twelve-year-old daughter, Alex, standing in the doorway of the kitchen, looking distraught.
"What's wrong, Al?" Lucy asked, walking over to her.
Alex, who was dressed in a baseball uniform, turned around. Blood was on the back of her pants.
"I think I started my period," Alex confessed.
Lucy smiled. She went through the same thing with Lillie about five years ago, but Lillie was all ready a girly girl. She suspected it would take time for Alex to get used to it.
"C'mon. I'll bleach your pants and make you a pad, and then we can go later and get you some," Lucy told Alex while ushering her to her own bedroom where she had her own bathroom.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Carter was trying to explain something to his eldest son, John, about his date tonight.
"I already know, Dad. You explain this on every date I go on," John replied.
"Just making sure we're on the same page," Carter patted his son on the back.
"We are," John said, as he held out his hand. "The keys?"
Carter reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. "Be careful," he warned his son, and finally handed the keys over.
"I will," John replied truthfully, and then left. "See you at seven."
Carter waved, then ran his hand through his now grayish hair and walked into the kitchen, where Jordan was sitting at the table, studying.
"Hey son," Carter ruffled his head.
"Daaaaaaaad," Jordan groaned.
"Having trouble?"
"A little bit," Jordan replied. Carter sat next to him and went over the problem with him as Lillie entered the kitchen, grabbing an apple.
"Daddy, I'm picking up Nathalie, Ella, Kate, Tess and Johanna and going over to Rachel's house," she replied, biting into the apple.
"We're going over later when everybody gets back, why don't you wait?" Carter asked.
"Because we wanted to go over to the hospital first so we could visit the kids for Thanksgiving. We'll meet you there," Lillie confessed.
"Well, see you at seven." Carter gave in.
Lillie gave Carter a kiss on the cheek and patted Jordan. "See you guys, later."
"Bye," they said in unison.
"Gaby, give it back!"
John looked over to see Brad chasing Gaby, which they did all morning every morning. They must've not given up yet.
"Janet Gabrielle!" Carter spoke in a warning tone, which made Gaby stop right in her tracks. "Today is Thanksgiving. Be thankful, not annoying."
"Sorry daddy," she handed the book back to Brad, who sat by Jordan. Gaby sat right beside them. Lucy entered with Alex, who was now in black pants and a nice shirt, and sat at the counter.
"Carter, if you want you can go ahead and take Jordan, Brad and Gaby with you and go by the hospital. Al and I will meet you there," Lucy replied, smiling at him.
"I get three, you one. What gives?" he replied.
Lucy shrugged her shoulders and they kissed, followed by a chorus of "ewwwws" from around them. They laughed, as Carter grabbed his coat and tried to round up the three at the table.
"Jordy, what's with work on Thanksgiving?" Lucy asked, looking at his books for the first time.
"Catching up from where I was out last week," he replied.
"And you?" she pointed at Brad.
"Extra credit," Brad replied.
Jordan, Brad and Gaby got their coats on and went outside in the snow to wait while Alex stayed inside, receiving looks from her parents saying, "please give us a minute."
"Whatever," Alex said, grabbing her coat and a banana from the counter. "Just don't take long, lovey dovey birds."
Lucy wide-eyed look from her daughter's choice of words followed her until she could no longer be seen, which then had Lucy looking into the eyes of her husband.
"Almost 18 years," Carter said, kissing Lucy.
"Yep," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "We've survived that long. It's.amazing."
"Thanks," Carter replied, sarcastically.
Lucy sighed, but was smiling. "You know what I mean. The fact that, if you hadn't been stabbed." tears were forming in her eyes. "We might never have gotten together."
"We would've," Carter predicted.
"How do you know?" Lucy questioned, casting a side-ways glance at her husband.
Carter took a deep breath, not believing that he was now releasing his secret. "I.love you, and I did from the night that you went looking for Corrine's father and will until forever." Carter and Lucy kissed, but Lucy began crying.
"It didn't help, you know. It didn't save Corrine." Lucy sniffled, hugging Carter and not wanting to let him go.
"No, but you didn't give up. You're a fighter, Lucy. You may be stubborn at times," Carter said, winking at Lucy who made her, through the tears, laugh. "But you're a fighter. You fought for me, Lucy. You helped save me when I was on that floor, bleeding to death and you prayed for my safety despite your beliefs. You're a loving, caring person and that night was like a gift for us. It made us both realize that we were meant for each other. That's how I knew, and that's why I love you."
Lucy looked at Carter from the tears that were flowing out of her like a river. She smiled. "You saved me, too."
"I know."
Carter winked at Lucy as they shared another kiss. "I love you Jonathan Carter."
"I love you too, Lucy Carter."
And they both grabbed their coats, and walked outside, hand in hand but parting their separate ways, to meet again in no time, to be with family and friends.

Thanks to those who read this story, even with the short chapters and the delay over it.
