A/N More drama-y angst-y type stuff in this chapter, Thanks for the reviews!

Chapter 8

Right before I broke apart from the kiss I heard somebody open and shut the door again. Only when the door shut it was loud, like somebody had slammed it.

I couldn't stand to look at Carter. That was a mistake and I shouldn't have done that.

"Carter I." Trying to say something and he cuts me off.

"I'm sorry Abby." He tells me getting up.

"Me to." I say sadly as he walks out leaving me to think about what just happened.

Later that day I had finally got something to eat, and Susan had just brought Gracie in. She told me she had taken Gracie home with her and then she had to get back to work.

"Mommy me and aunt Susan played games last night!" Gracie exclaimed smiling happily while sitting on the bed beside me.

"Wow did you win?" I ask her trying to sound excited. It's hard though I can't stop thinking about last night and this morning.

"Yeah and so did aunt Susan. What did you do last night mommy?" She asked me.

"I talked to some friends." I told bending the facts a little.

"Who?" She wondered.

I sighed and wonder if I should tell her or wait. Finally it came down to I could just bend the truth a bit.

"Dr. Kovac." I told her faking a smile.

"You mean Mr. Luka?" She asked smiling back at me.

"Yeah do you know him?" I wondered and was mentally hoping that she liked him.

"He made me not hurt anymore when we got hurt." She told me and she looked like she was trying to remember more of it.

"He was your doctor you mean? Do you like him?" I asked her thinking maybe and hoped she liked him.

"Yeah! He and aunt Susan are cool! They are really nice!" She exclaimed smiling one of the biggest smiles I had ever seen. She looked so happy, so unaware of the things happening around her, so innocent.

"That's good sweetie. Would you like to see him later?" I ask knowing I would have to tell him today.

"Yeah!" She said and hopped off the bed and started to color.

"Ok baby."

Ok Gracie's been with me all day and I'm so tired. Susan had told me she would get Gracie at the end of her shift which should be about over. Gracie's on the floor playing with some dolls and I was watching her. When I heard somebody come in I looked up.

"Mr. Luka!" Gracie exclaimed running over to him putting her arms up so he would pick her up.

"Hey Gracie are you feeling better?" He asked her while picking her up.

"Yes!" She said loudly.

"Gracie inside voice." I scold her but she still smiles.

"How's you mommy feeling?" He asked Gracie. He looks so happy when he's holding her.

Gracie looks at me and scans me over then turns back to Luka.

"I think she's feeling better." She told Luka with a serious expression, which made me smile.

"That's good." He says smiling at her. He doesn't look at me and I don't even know why he came up here.

Gracie started wiggling because she didn't want to be held and Luka put her down. I heard the door open and knew why she didn't want Luka to hold her anymore. Susan was here.

"Hey Gracie! Hey Abby. Oh hi Luka." She said smiling when she saw him in there. Gracie held her arms up so Susan could pick her up and she got what she wished for.

"You ready to go Gracie?" She asked the giddy child in her arms.

"Yup let me tell mommy and Mr. Luka bye." She said and Susan put her down and smiled at me.

"Thanks Susan." I say and watch as Gracie put her toys in her backpack.

"No problem." She tells me.

Gracie went over to Luka and told him bye and then came over to me and climbed on the bed and kissed my forehead.

"Bye mommy! Feel better soon!" She said and then her and Susan left leaving Luka and me alone.

I knew I had to tell him and I suppose I should now. He came and sat by the bed and still didn't look at me.

"Luka." I started and he cut me off.

"I saw you with Carter this morning." He told me in a low voice.

I was fighting with myself over that all day! So he was the one that came in. Why did he have to bring it up?

"Luka that kiss should have never happened. I've been torturing myself over it all day, I don't have any feeling left for him." I explained and he seemed to take it ok so far.

"Why was he in here?" He asked me still looking at anything but me.

"He wanted to ask me some things." I said frowning.

"What?"

"He asked me if I still had feeling for him and he asked about Gracie." I told him smiling, trying to get any reaction from him. Just trying to get him to look at me.

"What'd you say?" He asked me and seemed to be thinking about this.

"It really shouldn't matter to you but I'll tell you only because I think I should." I tell him and he looks a little hurt.

"I told him I could never have any feelings for him again and told him Gracie wasn't his. Then the kiss just happened he apologized and so did I then he left." I finished the story and Luka finally looked up at me and out eyes met.

"Gracie is your daughter Luka. Our child." I say finally and it feels good to let it out. I sigh in relief and he smiles.

"I'm a daddy, again." He smiles big and then looks at me seeming to still be wondering something.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before I was just so angry. I didn't know how to tell you when I was pregnant though. I didn't want you to remember Marco and Jasna every time you saw are child and you hurt." I tell him and he smiles at me.

"Abby it might hurt a little but it feels great that I helped create Gracie. I would never ever not want another child because I love you. I would never not love Gracie. I just wish you would have told me." He said and I was about to say something but was cut off by him kissing me.

It was filled with so much passion and when we broke apart we were both breathless and both smiling like it was our first kiss.

"Wow." I said I couldn't think about anything else right now except us, our future.

"Yeah." He agreed and I was sitting up, he got off the chair and then got down on one knee.

"Abby I love you, you've been out of my life for almost four years and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" He asked and I was crying.

"Good or bad?" He asked getting a little worried.

"Great! Yes I'll marry you Luka!" I say and start laughing. This was just so romantic. He proposed to me in my hospital room!

"Sorry I don't have a ring, we'll have to get you one later." He tells me sitting beside me on my bed and we look at each other.

"I don't need anything but you and I can't wait to have you. Can we get married as soon as I get out of here?" I say my voice full of plead and he laughs.

"Sure Abby whatever you want." He tells me and then kisses me again.

I hear the door open and we broke apart when somebody coughed, it was the nurse.

"Sorry." We both mumble under our breaths and try to keep from laughing.

"Miss." She stared.

"Just call me Abby." I say even though I'm running my soon to be name through me head. Mrs. Luka Kovac, it just sounded perfect.

"Ok Abby the doctor said you could leave in two days as long as you can walk." The nurse said then left.

"We get married in two days then." Luka told me and we both laughed then kissed again and that's how the doctor found us when he came in.
