***Summary: What happens after the kiss?***

Unexpected Turn

Chapter 1

"Abby... I," Carter began as they pulled away from their passionate kiss. Abby just stared at him.

"Oh God! Carter, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to," Abby began as she started backing away from him.

"Abby, it's ok. I," Carter began. Abby groaned and rubbed her temples with her hands. She shook her head.

"No, it's not! I don't want to ruin our friendship, by making a big mistake," Abby cired looking at Carter. He frowned slightly.

"Sorry, I guess I thought you wanted it to happen," Carter said.

"I did.... No, I didn't! Please, just forget it even happened! Carter, I didn't mean to kiss you like that! I am just scared," Abby said nervously. Carter nodded and stood up.

"I know, Abby. We just got caught up in the moment. Wait what moment?" Carter asked with a slight smile. Abby smiled.

"Thank you! You are one of my best friends, John! I don't want to ruin that, ok?" Abby asked. Carter nodded.

"Yeah, Abby, I know I feel the sameway. We are just friends," Carter said. Abby nodded.

"Yep. Just friends," Abby repeated feeling a little better. She didn't know how she felt about him, but she did know that she didn't want this to happen between them! They were too close to get together like this!

"I wonder what's taking so long," Abby said after a few moments of silence. Carter shrugged.

"I don't know, but I am sure it will be soon! I want to change," Carter groaned pulling on his sweaty shirt. Abby nodded.

"I know. I feel the sameway," Abby sighed looking out the window.

"Hey, Susan is comin'," Abby said seeing her walking towards the phone. Carter picked up the phone. He hung up a few minutes later and told Abby what was happening. She groaned.

"Two freakin' weeks in here?" Abby asked loudly. Carter nodded.

"Yeah. They need to run tests and stuff," Carter said. Abby groaned.

"Chen, Pratt, and a of the paitents are here, too," Carter said. Abby nodded.

"This completely sucks," Abby muttered sitting down in the gourney. Carter just watched as everyone began to exit the hospital. What happened between us, Abby? I thought it was going to go somewhere, but I guess not. He thought looking out the window.

"I want to shower in my own apartment," Abby muttered to herself.

"Yeah! I agree with that," Carter muttered back. They just sat in silence for a while.
