Chapter 4
Carter walked out of the toilets and headed straight to the lounge, he was going home early, since Susan was covering for him. As he opened his locker, Susan walked in.
"Hey" Susan said walking to her locker " How you doing?"
"Fine, just that my back is killing me and it seems that I can't stop using the restrooms". Carter answered putting his stethoscope in locker.
"Sorry to point this out to you Carter, but I think it maybe old age" Susan said with a little laugh.
"Ha ha, very funny Susan, don't you have an extra 3 hours of work to do" Carter said while shutting his locker and putting his coat on
Susan face stiffened " Damn it, was I out for that long" "Yep, well thanks to you I have 3 hours of free time on my lap, thanks allot Susan" said Carter while making his way to the door, but then he felt sharp pain on his arm
"What was that for?" Carter said while rubbing his arm trying to sooth the pain
" Um don't know trying to release some tension before I start working" with that Susan walked out of the lounge " See you later Carter"
"Yeah, see you" Carter screamed back while making his way out of the ER. An ambulance pulled up with a trauma, Sam was already out there.
"Carter a little help here, you are the doctor" Sam asked
" I'm off, Susan is covering for me. Speaking of the devil her she comes" Susan walked out of the ER doors
" See you later Sam" Carter said walking off.
**********************
Carter walked pass many people who did not recognized but people who knew and understood his love for this place. He continued walking, he has not been here in a long time, and he was just taking in the atmosphere step by step. He had a though day at work, he lost two patients and he also had to break the news to a teenager parents that their 6month pregnant daughter is brain dead but the only way she is living is by the ventilator. To make things worse they had to deliver the baby, it was a baby girl it was premature but it was doing well.
Carter continued walking by the riverside thinking of all the things that has gone wrong in his life, the worse thing apart from losing Gamma and Bobby was being stupid of loosing Abby. He continued walking till a figure caught his attention, she had long blonde highlighted hair; it kind of reminded him of Abby. Actually it looked like Abby the same height, the same figure. Carter stopped and just stared at the woman.
"It can't be Abby" Carter said out loud. The woman turned herself to the other side, Carter could see her full body shape now, and she was pregnant.
"It is not Abby" Carter said with a sad tone. Abby was not pregnant even if she was, she was not in Chicago, what will she be doing she has a happy life in Boston. He continued staring at the woman until he saw her walking away, walking away disappearing from his sight from his life just like how Abby did. Carter walked up to was she was standing before, it was the spot where him and Abby used to stand and talk and share their jokes. Why did his stubborn ways make her leave, why did he have let her go. How could he have stopped her, she left the same night he did. Carter continued staring at the beautiful view in front of him until he felt his back giving up on him as well as his bladder. He quickly walked to his car and made his way home.
****************************************************************
Abby had been standing in the same spot thinking about her life and how it would change after the baby was born. She was not really prepared she hadn't bought the crib or the stroller, she was totally unprepared. It was kind of a shock when she found out she was pregnant but to make it worse Carter returned. She saw him with his girlfriend Kem they talked for a little then she found out that he was having a baby, a baby boy in fact.
**Flashback**
" Wow a baby boy, congratulations" Abby said with a little smile. She could see from the corner of her eye that Susan was looking at her. She was actually ok, she is handling this like a grown up, like the new Abby.
"I can't believe that you are back in medical school" Carter said looking shocked
"Yeah well I thought I might as well get along with my long and change. You know". Abby said. It was not meant to come out like that. Carter looked shocked and taken back
"Abby could you help me out here" Susan said interrupting the conversation. She could see that Abby needed rescuing. She grabbed Abby arm and lead her to the lounge. She shut the door and sat next to Abby on the couch.
"Are you ok" Susan asked concerned
"Yeah, I am fine, I will live and manage, just like what he did" Abby said getting up going to her locker
"Where are you going?" Susan asked. Abby turned around and looked at her friend and just smiled at her friend. Susan knew what she was thinking.
"Abby I am your best friend, I know what you are going to do. This is time I am not going to stop you, I think you need to get away for a while. I understand your pain". Just then Abby run into her friends arm and started crying.
" I thought I got over him Susan, I thought I really did, but seeing him right now just made all my old feelings come back. But I realise I can't have him once I saw him with her and I saw that sonogram. I knew it Susan"
"Is alright Abby, you will be alright" Susan said
"I am going to Eric in Boston tonight, when I get there I will call you and give you a number". Abby said stepping back from her friend's arm and wiping her tears.
"Ok" Susan said
"Um... well talk to you soon" Abby said putting her coat on. Susan then pulled her friend into a hug.
"Abby is going to be ok, you are going to be alright" Susan said reassuring her friend
"I know. Bye"
"Bye". Abby walked out of the lounge then walked out of the ER not before looking at Carter.
"Goodbye Carter".
** End Flashback**
Abby turned around and headed home, her bladder felt like it was going to explode and plus her legs were killing her. As Abby was making her way back to the EL, she was thinking of all of the things she needed to do. One thing for sure she needed to call Luka to tell him she is in Chicago, she needed to see and talk to him.
