Abby could barley believe it when a week had passed since the incident at County. Things had gone so fast. Kerry had given Abby and Carter a week off since Abby was still shaken up from the experience and Carter's back was having problems from catching Abby that fast, he strained some muscles. The first thing they did is go to Carter's place. The spent the rest of the afternoon and then most of the night talking. Talking about everything. Their relationship, Carter, Abby, their future, their past. Everything was revealed that night. And at the end, they couldn't have felt closer to one another.
Abby knew she said something that hurt Carter. But he had said somethings that hurt her as well. But they worked through them together. Then at four in the morning they grabbed a blanket and drove down to the water. The place where almost two and a half years ago they had started their relationship after getting out of being in the hospital for two weeks. There, they sat together and watched the sun rise. Neither could believe what was happening. What was going on. But every thing seemed to fit into place. Everything was going smoothly, and although things might get bumpy. They now knew, nothing could shake them completely, because they had each other. --------------
Abby was truthfully frightened to return to County the next week. But she knew what she had to do. She had a day shift, with Carter. So she knew that things would be all right. They had decided together to keep everything a secret. They didn't want their relationship out yet. At least not until they were ready to deal with what everyone would throw at them.
Carter had asked Abby to move in with him. She was a little wary at first but then she thought of this as a fresh start. So she had started to pack up her things. She and Carter had picked out a color for the bathroom, bedroom and dining room. The only thing that had been left untouched was the baby room. Abby really didn't know how to bring it up. She was afraid that if she suggested anything, Carter might take it the wrong way. She thought they could make it a great TV/guest bedroom, but she didn't want to push anything incase Carter wasn't ready yet.
They together had decided to tell one person. They would tell Susan, but only if she asked. Mostly because neither wanted to lie to her, and she would probably feel hurt if she found out that they had been lying to her.
During this past week. Abby had felt the best she ever had in her life. She couldn't be happier for herself or the way things were going for Carter and her. She was a little afraid though. She was afraid her family would turn up again and ruin everything. But she knew now, she had learned from her mistakes before. She knew what she would do, if any problem came to face her. She had Carter, and right now, he was the most important thing in her life.
Abby jumped out of Carter's Jeep right at the El. She would walk to there from work, just so no one suspected anything. Abby liked having a secret, it was something she could smile about. And no one would know why, or gossip, or assume anything.
"Hey Susan! How's the past week been going?
"Oh just brag. It's been awful. Amazingly busy. Things seem to never stop. We have really missed Carter. Kerry can only do so much to keep things in control.
Abby laughed. She was really glad she had the past week off. She couldn't help feel refreshed and ready to take on anything. But there was one thing that was bugging her.
"Hey Susan, what happened to the guy. The guy who dropped me?" Abby had wanted to know. She never actually found out what happened to him.
"Ummm... he died.
"What? How?
"He jumped after he dropped you. No one was there to catch him though. He did a dive into the ground. Smashed his head in. It took a while to get the blood out off the walls. It splattered.
Abby made a face. As awful as it seemed. She couldn't help but feel relieved. She wouldn't have to deal with him.
"Hey Carter," Susan said as she entered the Doctors Lounge.
"Hey, how have you been?" Abby did her best to keep a straight face. This was harder than she thought, keeping this a secret.
"Oh okay. I got a massage. My back is doing better.
Abby had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing. She had given him the massage, and he had gone on and on about his bad back, and what she had done to it. It reminded her of 4 years before when she had to climb on his back to get into Luka's apartment. With that thought she laughed out loud. Carter shot her a look, and she immediately stopped. But then he started laughing too. So Abby started laughing again.
"Well you could cut the sexual tension in the room here with a knife. Did I miss something here." Susan was looking between Carter and Abby, with suspicion.
"Gotta go." Carter quickly walked out of the room, not before he pinched Abby's backside, which just made her laugh harder.
"Uh... well we kinda got back together.
"You are kidding right? I mean after last time. That was a ugly break up."
"Well we kinda decided to start over again. We talked about it all. He still loves me, I of course still love him. But you can't tell anyone, we want to keep this quiet. Just for now at least.
"Yea I understand. So... what. How long.
"Well remember last week when I was sitting on the bench in the lounge crying. Well he had sent me a letter. Talking about the past year, how he still loved me. It was really sweet. Anyway, when Carter caught me I told him I loved him too. Then I passed out. We went home that night. Talked about everything. Decided to start again. Except for this time, we already love each other.
"Wow!
"I know. I am moving in with him.
"Oh my God. Well, can't say I didn't expect it. You guys were bound to end up together.
"Thanks.
"Multiple MVA's coming in. Two minutes out." Carter said to Abby.
"I told her." She whispered as they headed out to the ambulance bay.
"Yea?"
"She said she thought we would end up together,
Carter laughed. Abby thought it was nice to get back to old routine.
