Sweet Misery Ch.3
A/N-Thanks so much to Naomi, she helped me greatly with my medical aspects of this story. I have changed it around so it is accurate, but any help in the future would also help. Thanks again!
Previously on ER-
"Tell me you love me! If I can't have you, no one can!"
"No." Abby whispered.
Luka grimaced, and then drew the knife over his shoulder, stabbng her repeatedly.
She felt the blood trickle down her stomach, and then her world went black.

"Carter, we got a stabbing victim coming in, ETA five to ten." Jerry said.
"Okay." Carter replied as he stepped out to the ambulance bay.
Carter put on his scrubs, pulled his gloves on, and began to hear the wail of the siren. The truck came to an abrupt halt.
"Carter, we got a woman here, multiple stabbing to the upper abdomen." Said the paramedic.
The woman lay on the gurney.
Carter looked at the woman's face and drew in a breath of air.
"Get Susan." He pleaded hoarsely.
"Problem?" Haleh asked.
"It's Abby."
"Oh my god." Haleh replied as she rushed to get Susan.
"Abby? Can you hear me? Abby? Dammit! Pratt, set up Trauma 2!"
Abby's gurney started to shake violently.
"Shit!" Carter screamed, "She's seizing!"
Carter ran with the gurney, only stopping in Trauma 2.
"I want a CBC, and Bag her. Hook her up. Now."
"Carter, what's going- Oh my god, is that Abby?" Susan asked incredulously.
"Yeah, hold her down, we have to stop her from seizing again."
"Carter, stats are back from the lab,90 over 60." Haleh said.
"Call the OR, were going to need them here." Carter said.
"Get some o-neg, she's losing blood too damn quickly." Carter called to Haleh.
"I'm here. How many stab wounds?" Corday asked.
"Looks like five." A nurse called.
"Carter, we're going to have to take her to the OR as soon as she's stable." Corday said.
"Okay, Haleh, what are the stats?"
"Blood pressure dropping, heart rate going down-"
The heart monitor started bleating.
"Defib." Haleh stated.
"Paddles," Carter ordered. "Charge to 300. 1, 2, 3, Clear!"
Nothing changed on the monitor.
"Charge to 350, clear!"
Abby started to seize again.
"Bag her!" Carter screamed.
He ran over to get the intubation tray, but he slipped on a pool of blood. He looked down at the floor, only seeing red. His shirt was red, the floor, his pants. He shivered and stood up.
"Charging paddles. 400. Clear."
Nothing happened. The bell went of from the monitor. The team looked at him, wondering what to do.
" 450!!," Carter screamed.
"Dammit, Carter, there's nothing left to shock." Susan whispered.
"It's not over. She can't die. Just one more shock. One more." Carter said as he stroked Abby's lifeless hand.
"Come on, Abby, we've got a life to live." Carter whispered.
" Charge to 450. 1, 2, 3, clear."
The heart monitor bleeped. He looked at the screen.
"We've got a pulse!" Haleh shrieked.
"She's stable, get her up to the OR." Corday replied.
Abby's gurney was rolled away.
Carter shook. He followed the gurney upstairs, and told Susan to cover for him.
"Let me scrub in." he told Corday.
"John. Wait outside." Elizabeth replied as the elevator doors closed.
~
Two hours later, Elizabeth, stepped out of the OR. Sweat was running down her face.
Carter looked up.
"Is she okay?"
"She's fine. She stayed stable through the whole thing. She's a real fighter. There must have been something in this world she couldn't let go of." Corday smiled.
"Thank God." Carter replied.
"She's in recovery now, we'll wheel her down to a room as soon as one opens up."
"Elizabeth, Thank you." Carter whispered.
"You're quite welcome."
~
Abby opened her eyes, staring up at the fluorescent lights. Where was she? She had no idea. Carter's face appeared next to her.
"Carter?"
"Abby."
"What happened?"
"You were stabbed. Do you remember who did it?"
Abby bit her lip. "I broke up with him. Because of us." She said. "It was Luka."
Carter's brow furrowed.
"I love you so much." He said.
"We almost lost you."
"I love you too."
