Authors Note- Okay, so no one likes Kem, but she's the one with Carter..for right now. Also, I know she got pregnant around November, but in here, it's almost Christmas. And of course, thank you for the reviews!
Chapter Two
" It's you're first day off in over a month, why are you going in?" Kem watched Carter slip on his jacket.
He helped her into hers, " I'm just picking up a file, it'll take two minutes".
She groaned, " of course that's how it always starts, then there will be some accident and you'll have no choice but to stay".
" I knew you'd become one of us soon enough".
Kem shrugged, " I'm not saying I don't want you to be helping others. And I'm not trying to be selfish, but I do want some time with you".
He smirked, " midnight feedings will become our bonding time.all four of us".
As they walked out the door into a chilly December day, Kem wanted to tell him about a strange feeling that rested in the pit of her stomach, one that had nothing to do with the twins. He never seemed to have faith in that kind of thing, and despite the strength in this one, she did not say a word.

Carter ran through the automatic doors and slid across the tiles before crashing into the front desk. Frank glared at him, and he smirked in return. He then dashed into the lounge and headed towards the manila folder that was on top of the fridge. Luka had been standing there, watching him run as though his bum was on fire.
" What's that?".
Luka's mere question caused Carter to jump, spilling the folders contents onto the floor.
" Nothing" Carter stuttered, dropping to his knees and began collecting papers, " nothing at all".
Luka managed to grab one of the stray sheets before Carter could. He read from the internet heading at the top of the page, " double the fun, a guide to newborn twins".
Carter froze, looking slightly embarrassed, " it's, well, its exactly what it looks like, cant lie about this one".
He laughed, a little bit, " this is the most adorable thing I've ever seen".
" Thank you?".
" No really, it is" he returned the paper, " does Kem know?".
Carter shook his head, reorganizing the folder, " it's for flashlight reading in the closet she probably hasn't found yet".
" John, it comes naturally. The second my daughters came home, I knew what to do. As long as you have Kem, twins will be great".
He sighed, " everyone makes it sound like Kem will run everything, and I'm worthless. Because that's what I will be, worthless. I am not capable of raising one child, let alone two".
Before Luka could even attempt a response, one of the med students appeared in the doorway, announcing that there had been a car accident in the parking lot, and everyone was desperately needed.
A car accident- the parking lot. That's where Kem was waiting. With hardly that thought, Carter beat Luka out the door and to the main desk. Two stretchers were being wheeled by, each with a bloodied victim. But they weren't Kem, and he had a brief sigh of relief.thinking she was alright.
Until-
" We've got another one!".
His own time stopped all around, it all became a blur. He became paralyzed when he saw Kem- half conscious on the paramedics newest stretcher to come through the entrance. Her clothing, her hair, everything was drenched in blood- her blood.
" What happened?!" maybe that voice was his, maybe it wasn't, he couldn't be sure.
One of the paramedics caught his eyes, " three cars slid on the ice near the back lot, the first one hit her".
Hyperventilation got the better of him, panting caused his words to hardly make it out clear enough for anyone to understand, " she's pregnant, you've got to help her". He finally found himself in the position where he was the one with the desperate pleads to save someone.
" How many months is she?!".
" Six months!".
Then Luka yelled, " exam three is open!".
Like the years in the past, something triggered in Carter's mind so that he automatically ran to that very spot, not wanting to let her out of his sight for a second. But she couldn't see him, she was unconscious and didn't even know what was going on. All he wanted was to be able to get to her, to help her, but just like that.he was stopped at the door.
" You can't go in there" Weaver was the one holding him back.
He never liked her, but that grudge was easily beginning to thicken, " no, I have-".
" The hospital permits you from working with a spouse".
But he wasn't married to Kem, not yet at least. However, when the doors closed, it was like a permanent force field holding him back. He wasn't allowed in there, and there wasn't any time to argue, to him it'd only make things worse. And now, he couldn't even see her, the crowd of other doctors were in the way. Now he knew what it felt like for other people.
His mind was weak, his breath was short, and now his balance was uneasy. Carter felt his eyes roll into the back of his head, immediately before fainting.
