*Author's notes*: Well, in this chapter, there's not much speaking, but mainly Abby's POV.
*~* Later same day *~*
After a 12-hour shift, Abby walked into the house where she sat down on the living room couch and kicked up her feet.
Just then, both the girls came running down the stairs.
"Mom!" they both screamed while running down the stairs.
"Mom, oh my God! Guess what? Katie asked out Billy, and he was like, 'no way!' and she was all like, 'Please?' It was so cool!" Emma burst out at once.
"Uh...that's nice dear..." Abby said slightly confused.
Then Kelsey told Abby about her day too, and then they all had a late supper.
After all the chaos was over with, Abby called John on his cell phone, but no one picked up. Abby was a little surprised by this because he said if she needed anything that she could call him to talk. She was also a little sad because she looked forward to hearing his voice for the first time in two weeks. She figured she could try back later and got ready for bed.
Abby's favorite part of the day was the end because she had time to reflect and be thankful for all that she has. Tonight her thoughts all reflected the same thing...Carter. She missed him so much and could not wait another two weeks before she saw him again. Carter was in France because his father had fallen desperately ill. Abby felt selfish for wanting him home, but she couldn't help her feelings. Before she knew it, she was bawling her head off. Oh, God, she missed John so much.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next two weeks went like clock work and before Abby knew it the day had arrived for Carter's return, and she was so anxious she could hardly concentrate at work. She knew how excited Susan was too, so she invited Susan over to have drinks with her and Carter after he arrived. Time was flying by, and Susan seemed to be at the door in no time.
"Hi," Susan said quietly, "Are your girls asleep?"
"Well, I sent them to sleep, but I think the excitement is keeping them up."
"OK, well," she sad awkwardly, "Uh, so, I guess your really excited about John being home for the first time in about a month."
"Yup, I can't wait to give him a big hug." Abby said while laughing, "Um, do want a drink or something?"
"Sure," Susan replied, "I'll have what you're having."
"Well," Abby said slightly confused, "I don't drink."
"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, I knew that...uh, well, in that case I guess I'll take a Hamm's."
"Ok, I got that that." Abby said even more confused.
Abby and Susan talked some more for about twenty minutes before Carter burst through the door.
"John!" Abby said while giving John a hug and a kiss, "I missed you so much!"
"Oh...I missed you too!" he said before giving Abby a huge kiss, "Je t'aime, vous êtes si beau et moi ne peut pas attendre pour embrasser vos lèvres douces"
"Aw..." Susan broke in, "You guys are so cute..."
"Hey!" Carter said giving her a hug, "I missed you too I guess..."
The three sat around and chatted for hours about Carter's trip, their jobs, and their love lives. At about 10:30 PM, they all decided they were hungry, so Abby agreed to go to McDonalds to get them some dinner (considering she was the only sober one of the three).
"So..." John said drunkenly, " Have you nailed Stan yet?"
"Shut up! He's the only boyfriend I've had in 5 years."
"Man...you've had a rough love life..."
"You were my only good one," Susan sad getting closer to John's face, "I loved you..."
Without thinking, Susan kissed Carter and then he kissed her back. They were so drunk they didn't know what the hell they were doing and Carter started to unbutton Carter's shirt and kiss her neck. She was so buzzed that she didn't care what she was doing to Abby. Before they both knew it, they were on the floor 'doin' the nasty'. They got into a rhythm, and 10 minutes later, they were both tired and put their clothes on.
