One Beautiful Secret
Chapter 4
Susan was waiting for the ambulance's to get there with Carter and Luka on each side of her. There were two nurses out there with two gurneys and soon they heard the sirens get close.
Carter looked like he had somewhere else to be and this wasn't really important and was thinking about asking Susan to take it, little did he know she would.
Luka just stood there thinking of the past few years, what had happened to Abby and why she had left all of a sudden.
He was pulled out of his thoughts when the ambulance backed up in front of them. Carter would take the first one and he would take the second with Luka in the middle for whichever one needed more help.
The back doors on the ambulances opened and everything went by so fast they didn't know what was happening.
~~~~~
Carter sunk to the floor outside the trauma room they had Abby in. As soon as they had recognized her Susan had taken over and wouldn't even let him be in the same room she was in. He couldn't think of anything except he had ended it with her.
All of a sudden he heard the monitors beep as if they had a flat line. He knew she was in bad condition and hoped Susan could get her back. He put his head in his hands when he heard Susan yell 'clear!' and knew they would try hard to bring her back.
He finally got up and decided he couldn't take this anymore. Hopefully Susan would find him when they were done because he couldn't listen to what might happen in there. He decided to go to the lounge and wait. Kerry had told Luka and him they could have the rest of the day off as long as they worked some of the night shift.
Luka was already in there sitting on the couch deep in thought. He wasn't sure what to do. Carter went and sat by him on the couch.
Carter had just remembered that little girl who had come in with Abby in the second ambulance. Luka had helped her and she wasn't in to bad of shape.
"Luka that little girl that came in with Abby, is she ok?" He asked quietly.
It took a minute for Luka to see he was the one being talked to.
"Yeah but she'll have a few bruises, it's a good thing she was in a car seat." Luka told him not really wanting to have to talk about this right now.
"She was with Abby right? As in the same car?" Carter wondered although he already knew that answer.
"Yes Carter." Luka said getting a little agitated.
"I wonder if she's Abby's daughter?" Carter thought out loud again.
"She is." Luka said becoming a little mad for Carter to keep asking questions. Didn't he see that he didn't want to talk right now?
"How do you know?" Carter said getting a little mad himself. How did Luka have all the answers?
"She told me ok?" Luka said burying his face in his hands, much like the way Carter had done earlier.
"I wonder where her father is?" Carter wondered out loud and regretted it the moment he said it because he knew Luka would just get madder at him.
"She doesn't know who her father is." Luka mumbled. Know he really didn't want to discuss this. Had Abby left and gotten herself pregnant?
Carter seemed to finally stop asking questions, probably didn't want to upset Luka anymore. But why was he so mad? He shouldn't be this upset over it. After all its not like she had left HIM. Well true that Carter sent the letter but he still loved her, he still needed to tell her that.
But right now he couldn't get his mind off who that little girl's father was. How old was she? She seemed to be around four or five, but that would mean Abby was pregnant when she left? Possibly even before he had left for the Congo. Surely she couldn't be his though.
Both of the doctors looked up as Susan entered the room covered in blood and and didn't look to happy.
"Good thing you both are here." Susan mumbled trying not to let tears fall down. She tried to get the image of Abby laying on the table in front of her and her trying to bring her back.
"What happened?" Luka asked when Carter didn't speak up. Luka had a feeling that Carter still had feeling for her. Much more than anybody thought.
"Well." She started and saw Carter take a breath in and hold it.
"She's alive." Susan continued and saw Carter let out his air he was holding.
"Where is she?" Carter asked standing up quickly.
"Carter hold on." Susan said trying to get ready to tell them what state she was in.
"She's in a coma and we don't know if she'll wake up." She finished and knew that Carter would break down any minute and cry.
The look on his face said it all. Carter still loved her; he couldn't bear the thought of loosing her, again.
The look on Luka's face was not so easy to read. His expression was blank like he was trying to figure things out. He was stronger than Carter was but he still felt tears come to his eyes.
"And right now she's in ICU." She told Carter and in a blink of the eyes Carter raced out to find her.
Susan sighed and went to sit where Carter had been sitting next to Luka.
"Are you ok?" She asked him slowly.
It was a stupid question of course he wasn't ok. She knew what had happened between them before Abby had left. Also she had a good thought of what made Abby leave.
"No." Luka responded simply.
They sat in silence for a few minutes neither knowing what to say.
"I'm sure she'll be fine Luka." Susan tried to start another conversation.
Luka sighed knowing she was just telling him a lie.
"No she won't Susan you know that." He told her and a lone tear made its way down his cheek and hung onto his chin.
Susan knew that when Abby woke up she was going to have to have a long talk with her. She had hurt Luka more than she could have ever thought when she left.
"How's Gracie?" She asked remembering that she had been in the accident also.
"How'd you know her name?" Luka wondered, she wasn't the one that had worked on her.
Should she tell him? It might hurt him a lot but she had to.
"Abby was coming back here and she was going to stay with me for a while until she could get an apartment." She told him carefully and slowly.
Luka didn't say anything, he didn't know what to think. She was going to stay with Susan but she hadn't said anything. He just got up and left the room leaving a very tired looking Susan behind him.
