I walked into the trauma room and started doing my thing. I put in a central line and wrote down his vitals on the chart. Even though, I was working on the patient, my mind was elsewhere, I couldn´t stop thinking about what Carter and Mandy were doing. I kept wondering if they were getting along, what Carter was telling her. I was afraid he´d say something he shouldn´t.

"Abby? Abby?" I looked at Susan who was calling out my name "Did you hear what I asked?" she asked. I nodded not really sure I had heard, but it was my first day back and I had to make a good impression once again "So, where is she?" she asked again.

"Where is she? Oh Mandy?" I said, assuming Susan was asking where my little girl was "With Carter"

Susan chuckled and shook her head "The paramedic said he was brought in with his niece, where is she? Which trauma room?"

I blushed and looked at the trauma room next door "Uh, there, trauma two. Doctor Corday is working on her" I said biting my lip, I couldn´t believe how stupid I had sounded.

"Hey, don´t worry, Abby, I know you are worried about Amanda, it´s ok" said Susan letting me know it hadn´t been a big deal. She smiled and went back to working on the patient "He´s ready to go up to surgery, let´s roll him"

I took my gloves off and smiled back at Susan "I´m sorry, it won´t happen again"

Susan nodded and it reminded me why she used to be my best friend when I was working here last time. She was always very understanding. I knew I could messed up around her and she´d do anything in her power to help me solve it.

"Hey, go check on your girl and your man" she said winking at me.

"Thanks" I said and walked out of the trauma room and to the ambulance bay. When I went outside, I couldn´t believe my eyes, Carter was teaching Mandy how to make a snowman. He was lifting her and she was putting Carter´s scarf on the snowman´s neck.

"Wow, guys, that´s the greatest snowman I had ever seen" I said smiling at them.

"John helped me do it, but I put the head and the nose, and look, mommy ..." Mandy pointed at the eyes "They are from my coat" she nodded and I looked down at her coat and saw it was missing two buttons. I didn´t know whether to be mad or just laughed. I chose the latter and laughed.

"It´s lovely, sweetie!" I said and then looked at Carter "Great job, John, thanks for everything"

"You girls are hungry? I´m in the mood for a hamburger and some fries" said Carter.

Mandy grinned and nodded "Yes, burger!" she said excited. Carter had just spoken into her heart, or should I say into her tummy?

"That sounds great, let´s go" I said holding Mandy´s hand.

"She´s an amazing kid, Abby" said Carter

I smiled and nodded "She is" I stared at Carter for a few minutes and then looked at Mandy "So, did you have a good time with John?" I asked

"Yes, he is nice, mommy, I wish he was my daddy!" she answered and Carter and I just looked at each other.

I was about to say that he was, but I just smiled and tickled her "Oh kiddo, the things you say!"
