|Are You Happy Now?|
Authors Note: I had no idea so many people were interested in me finishing this story.
When I started it, I had all these idea's for it. Then I got writers block and neglected it for awhile.
But every now and then I'd get a 'review' alert and feel guilty for not updating in forever.
So, here's my attempt at a new chapter. Enjoy, and thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 5: Time & Time Again
Music: Time & Time Again - Stretch Princess
Previously in the fic:
Carter takes Abby out, so they can discuss their relationship. "Are you happy, Abby?" he asked.

Oh, to love you.to love you not.. Makes no difference, its all that I've got.

"You wouldn't be the first to do such a thing." The tired looking bartender said.
Luka shrugged, "I guess I'm not very open with ..people I don't know."
The bartender nodded, "But that should make it easier. You might never see me again, and I might have some expert advice." The old man smiled.
Luka gave it a thought, "What the hell.." he said, sipping his beer. "Well, there's this girl.."
The man smiled, "Always is."
Luka grinned at the thought. "Yeah?" He shook his head, then continued. "I just came back from a long trip. I guess I knew the first few days would.well, I'd have some getting used to, to do." He sighed, "We ended things.kind of bad. But I can't help it, I think I still miss her. Even after all this time. Even when she has.him."
The man looked up, "So there's a *him*? Man, that's tough."
Luka nodded. "As long as she's happy."
The man shook his head, "Ah, that may or may not be true. Really what it comes down to is.are you? Are you happy? Or are you only saying you are, for her sake. For the sake of her possibly being happy."
Luka looked at him.
"So, are you really happy?" the man asked, setting down the rag he was using to wipe the bar.

Abby was thankful for the interruption of her pager. For once in her life.
"Damn." She said, pulling off the 'annoyed' mood.
Carter was about to open his mouth, when his went off too. "Guess we are calling it a night." He said, with a chuckle.
Abby nodded, glad he had forgotten his last question. In all honesty, she didn't know the answer.
Was she happy? Sure.things seemed to be looking up. They had talked, finally. Why shouldn't she be? Why wouldn't she be? Why..couldn't she answer it wholeheartedly though? Was that normal?
She glanced at him, then back to her feet. She loved him.she was.happy. Happy.
Abby sighed heavily inside, she wasn't even convincing herself. But she would find a way to answer him.

you swear on your life it's out of your hands
