"We should put her in the crib." Carter said after finally breaking the silence that had held them for what seemed like forever.
"Yeah." Abby didn't know what to say or do. 24 hours ago, she was baby sitting Chuck and Susan's child. Now suddenly she had a child of her own, and not only that, but she was in the arms of Carter.
Carter walked into the bedroom. Placing Elizabeth in the crib, he walked back into the living room. To find Abby on the couch in a ball, sobbing.
"Abby, what is wrong?
"24 hours ago, I thought I knew what was going to happen the next day in my life. 24 hours ago, I wasn't a mother. Now suddenly I have a baby, suddenly you are here, professing your love for me. Suddenly I just can't help but cry.
Carter picked Abby up and carried her into the bedroom where Elizabeth was sleeping. He laid her down on the bed and laid next to her.
"Abby, sometimes random things happen. We can't know what's coming. That is life, it is random.
"Carter, I have thrown myself into this. What is she has disabilities? The pediatricians said she had about a 25% chance of disabilities. I mean they said that she looks good right now. But Carter, I am so scared.
"Abby, all you can do is trust. We don't know. She may, but then again she could be completely normal. She isn't deformed, maybe everything will be fine.
"But what if it's not?" "But what if it is?" Abby looked at Carter. As scared as she was, he seemed calm, so sure about what he was saying. She couldn't help but trust him.
"I love you too," she said, crawling to him on the bed.
Carter placed his hand around her and pulled her to him. She was crying still, but not as much as before. He held her to him, she started to relax. She slowly drifted off, there in Carter's arms.

12:00 PM
Abby woke up to find herself alone. She shifted on the mattress, the baby was gone too. She sat up. There was Carter in the corner in a rocking chair, the one Abby had ordered, feeding Elizabeth.
"The baby suits you. You look really good with her.
"She was whining about a half an hour ago, so I made her a bottle.
Abby smiled. She was still in her clothes from the day, so she got up pulled out a night shirt and a pair of boxers. She changed, not really caring that Carter was there, not like he hadn't seen her naked before.
"Is she almost asleep again?
"No, she just staring at me.
Abby walked into the kitchen and started to make tea. Carter walked in behind her soon after she took the pot off the stove. He reached into the cabinet to get a cup for himself.
"Is she asleep?
"Yeah, she was fighting it, but she eventually went down.
"Good, I can't believe I am going to be doing this every night. I don't think it has hit me yet, that I have a kid.
"Well it did happen really fast. Are you okay now.
Abby turned to face him.
"I don't know. I am still scared for her, but I think that I will just deal with things as they come."
Carter walked towards her.
"Abby, you know I will always be here."
"Why does that sound familiar?"
"Huh?
"I remember, about two years ago. We were in my kitchen, I was crying about my brother, you said you would always be there for me. That you weren't going anywhere." Abby laughed, "Well, we know now how that turned out.
"Abby, I am sorry, please know that.
"I know you are.
"I am really sorry. I can only imagine what it was like for you, watching me, and Kem.
Abby handed Carter his tea. Looking at him, she forgave him, she really did. He placed his tea on the counter.
"Don't you want it............"
Abby had started to say, but was quickly cut off. Carter had leaned down and was kissing her. She had been waiting for this forever. But this was different from the one before. The last had been a consoling kiss, this was different, it was passionate.
Abby wound her arms around his neck, he leaned down, picking up her legs, carrying her, he started to walk towards the bedroom.
"The baby," she said quietly, reminding him.
He turned quickly heading for the couch. Real kinky, Abby thought. The first time they have sex in a year, and they were doing it on a couch. Oh well, first time she was going to have sex with Carter in a year, she couldn't really be picky.
