Present Day,

"So Abby, you wanna go out tonight after work?" Carter asked as Abby played around with the computer at the admin desk.

"Ummm, sure. Where do you want to go?" She asked, finishing with the computer/

"I don't know, somplace fancy." He said, putting his arm arounf her waits. Abby still wasn't too sure about the whole public affection thing, but she figured that was the way he was and lived with it. In fact, she was beginning to like it.

"Carter, you could have told me this morning, I would have brought something to change into."

"Well, I took the liberty of grabbing your black dress."

"The one with the tag still on it?"

"Ummm, yeah, I think so. Its really sexy." Carter said, pulling her closer to him.

"I wasn't sure if I was going to wear it, because I was thinking of returning it. It cost a lot of money."

"Well, now you have a reason to wear it."

"Well, where are you taking me?"

"It's a surprise."

"Being secretive. Your not taking me to another Carter Family Fundraiser are you?"

"No, its nothing like that."

"Fine, but Susan has been asking for me for like half an hour, so I'll see you later, ok?"

"Ok." He leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. Abby blushed crimson red and walked away.

Carter walked himself back to the admin desk and played with the small abject in his pocket. Knowng that the velvet box was actually in his pocket and he was actually going to propose mad ehim extremely nervous.

Abby walked over to curtain three to go and see what Susan had wanted. "Hey Susan, whats up?"

"Oh, just an addict who passed out, Im waiting for him to come to. I don't really need your help yet."

Abby looked over at the man sleeping on the hospital bed. Instantly, she recognized him. His hair, his face, even his eyes, though they were closed. "Michael?" She whispered.

"You know this guy?" Susan asked.

"Maybe."

"Well, you can go and tell his daughter that he's going to be fine."

"How old is she?"

"About sevenish." Susan said. Abby was stunned, but tried not to show it.

"Ummm, whats her name?"

Susan looked down at the chart and said "Abigail actually." Susan looked at Abby. "Any resemblance?" She asked.

"No, but I'll go find her and tell her that he's going to be fine."
