Abby woke up in the ER exam room one. She was surprised. She couldn't remember how she got there. Then it all came flooding back. She had beeen dropped. But, someone had caught her. Carter had caught her. She was alive, it hit her, she was alive. She could tell Carter, she could tell him she loved him. But suddenly she wasn't as eager to do so. She was almost afraid to. After this. She didn't know why. But she didn't feel like she could.
Just then Susan walked into the room.
"It's good to see that you are up." Susan had been really worried when Carter picked her up and she was unconcious. Abby had been asleep for the past couple of hours.
"How long have I been here?" Abby was now feeling a much better. She wanted to find out what had happened.
"Well Carter carried you iside and we took you into the trauma room. Carter was shakeing, he looked really scared for you. But then you were examined and we founbd out you had just fainted. Probably from fear.
"Oh, okay. Where... where is Carter. I want to thank him" Well that was half the truth. She just wanted to see Carter. She really needed to see him.
"I'll send him in for you." Susan started to leave the room.
"Ummm..Susan, how long till I can go?
"Well we need some test back. Thats all.
"Okay.
Abby felt so weird. She was tingling all over. She needed to see Carter. She really wanted to see him To hug him, for him to tell her everything was okay. Like he did right after he caught her. Right before she told him she loved him.
Abby sat up straight. She had already told him she loved him. She remembered it now. Right before she had passed out. She had told him that she loved him. Now suddenly Abby didn't want to see him at all. She was afriad to. Afraid of what he might say.
She saw him walking towards the room. She closed her eyes, almost pretending to be asleep, but he would know otherwise.
"How are you feeling Abby," Carter asked her. The way he said it, it made her feel so much better.
For some reason though she started crying. Just sobbing, she didn't know why, but she couldn't stop. Carter rushed over to her.
"Abby, whats wrong?
"I don't know. I just can't stop. I can't help but cry. About everything.
"Abby, I don't......
"Carter, I miss you. I have for the past year, since you left." Abby couldn't believe what she was saying. It was pouring out and she couldn't stop it, just like the tears.
"Carter, thank you for the letter. I, I feel the exact same way. I miss you, I want you. I have for the past year. Ever since you left the first time. Watching you with Kem. I don't know why I am crying. I just can't hold it all in anymore." Carter looked at her. She couldn't read his face. He wasn't smiling or frowning, but his eyes. He was crying too.
Carter crawled up next to Abby, there wasn;t much room on the bed, but she scooted over. Carter was crying too. So was Abby, they both were. They didn't need to speak to know why. They understood each other. The just sat there, crying and holding each other.
Abby was the first to speak, "Carter, I.... what does this mean......"
But he broke her off. He slowly bent his head down. He kissed her. Abby couldn't believe it. Here it was. The moment she had been longing for since, well since forever. They were there. In the place where they had kissed the first time.
As Carter pulled away, Abby looked at his face. he was smiling. Smiling with tears running down his cheeks. She could see in his eyes, everything he had been through in the past month. Everything she felt and had waited for was right here.
Carter suddenly laughed.
"What?
"I just saw something. Ummm... remember the first time we... umm had sex?
"Umm of course. I work here, I am reminded of it every time I see a bed in the trauma room
"Well I memorized the inventory number, 1101BY.
"Yeah?
Carter pointed to the handrail on the side of the bed Abby was on. 1101BY, the same place where their relationship had first started. Abby started laughing too. Abby couldn't help herself. So they both sat there, laughing, crying and hugging. Neither knew what was going to come next.
Just then Susan walked into the room.
