A/n: Finally updated, I personally don't like this chapter because I have written it. I glad people are reviewing but I want more so I know people really like this story. I also just wanted to say that someone commented about how I wrote and I just want to say that I don't use apostrophe that much because my GCSE's are coming up and for my English exam I have to use Standard English so I guess it's kind of rubbing in with my writing. You would not notice this in every chapter well sorry if it bothers anyone but that how it will be like. Well keep reading and reviewing.
Still day before wedding
Abby's POV
"Hello.... hello", it better not be those stupid kids who think that it's fun to call someone one's house phone and not say anything.
'Abby?' Oh my god, it's Carter's voice. I stood there holding my breath. What am I going to do? he can not find out that I'm here, no all my plans are ruined now. I paced up and down the room for a minute but it seems to be a lifetime. Ok think
'Sorry this is not Abby, it's...Crystal' I said quickly, good cover up I thought praising myself.
'Crystal?' I hear him ask shocked and confused.
'Yeah, Crystal, Susan's cousin' I said quickly. Please god don't let him figure out it's me. Please, Please.
'Oh sorry... you just sound like someone I know' I hear him say. Someone he knows? Gosh he hasn't spoken to me in years.
'Um is Susan there, she was suppose to be at work 15 minutes ago'. He sounds so much the same like nothing has happened. I wonder if he still looks the same?
' No she left work bout 10 minutes ago' I said quickly why doesn't Susan get there quickly to get Carter of the phone. As if by magic I hear Susan in the background, she is apologising to Carter but then she stops. Why have she stopped? Is she going to tell Carter I am here?
'Well, she is her now, umm... I hope to see you soon, haven't really met any of Susan cousins before'. Carter says interrupting me from my nervous breakdown. Same old Carter courteous as always.
' Umm. sure maybe sometime soon'. Stupid me, why the hell did I say that.
'Bye' he finally says
'Bye'
I hear the phone line go dead. I stand there for a few minutes with the phone still next to my ear. I can't belie this just happened. What if he doesn't believe my lie? I finally drop the phone on the charger and sit on the couch with my hands on my belly. Why is this happening to me? I should just go back to Boston. I don't want to see Carter, I don't want him asking question about me moving away and I don't want him asking details about the baby father and me. I should just go but that means I would miss Luka's wedding and he would never forgive me for that. Why is my life like this? I sit down on the couch for an hour till sleeps take me over.
Susan's POV
I watch Carter put the phone down. Why did he just mentions my name and what does he mean that he has never met any of my cousins today.
'Your cousin sound nice' Carter says interrupting my thoughts. What cousin does he mean? I don't have any cousins in town. The only person is in town is A. O my gosh, he talked to Abby, she must have lied to him.
'Oh yeah my cousin Ka...' please finish the name for me; I don't know what name Abby used.
'Yeah you cousin Crystal,' Carter says looking at me strangely. Don't think nothing of it Carter I repeat in my mind some many times, praying somehow I have mind control powers that will affect him
'Yeah Crystal' I say then started heading of to the lounge, hoping he would not follow me and accept that the conversation is over. I feel him follow me. Damn it.
' Was she the one you picked up from the airport couple of weeks back' I hear Carter ask. Why can't he just drop the conversation?
'Yeah it was' I say while putting my bag in my locker and putting my lab coat on.
'Maybe I can meet her sometime... is coming to the wedding tomorrow' Carter asked me while he makes his way to the coffee machine.
' I don't think so she has got other arrangements... so have you prepared your speech?' I asked trying to avoid the subject. If I said my supposedly cousin was coming to the wedding things would be so wrong. Knowing Carter he would want to meet her straight as I meet him the church.
'Yeah I have finished...so where does your cousin come from?' what the hell is wrong with him why does he want to about my cousin now.
'Carter, Susan the MVA's are here' I hear Chuny say. I did not hear here come in; anyway I owe her big time she just doesn't know it.
'Well I job is calling us' I quickly stand up; I don't to continue this conversation. I make it to the door and turn around. Carter was still seating trying to get up but not having any success. What the hell is up with him? He sees me staring at him.
' I will be right there, just having few problems with my back'
'Ok, don't take forever grandpa' with that I left the room to start my long awaited shift with a double MVA.
Everyone was getting ready for Luka's and Sam's wedding, luckily Kerry was feeling kind so she let everyone who was invited to the wedding a day off. Chuny was at Sam's apartment getting her hair done, Deb, Haleh and all the brides maid were there as well getting ready for the big day. Malik was with Luka and Carter getting ready for the wedding. Susan and Abby were getting ready. To Susan's happiness Abby had not grown over night and she didn't have to alter anything, which left her more time to get ready.
'Susan will you hurry up, I am ready and waiting for you sorry ass' Abby said sitting on the couch switching channels.
'Great hormones happening again' Susan muttered to herself as she put the last hair clip in her hair.
'Ready, now lets go' Susan said as she made her way out of her room. She got her and Abby's purse of the counter and waited for Abby long journey and struggle off the couch.
'Ok I ready' Abby said as she finally got off the couch and put her jacket on and handed Susan's jacket to her.
The two women made their way to Susan's car. Susan got in the car followed by Abby. The journey was quiet for about twenty minutes of the journey until Susan finally spoke.
'So what it your plan?'
'Huh...oh I am going to wait till Sam gets into the church and it's in the front with Luka' Abby said facing the window watching trees pass by.
'Why don't you want everyone to see you' Susan asked keeping her eyes on the road
'Because if I do it in the church, everyone will swarm all over me and I don't want that and also because Sam will be pissed because it's her special day and everyone will be looking at me instead of her' Abby says with an agitated voice.
'You make a very good point'
' I always do don't I' Abby says before turning the radio on.
Abby's POV
The wedding ceremony was beautiful; luckily I was able to sneak in the wedding without anyone noticing and also managed to find a seat all the back but was able to see the ceremony as well. Sam walked down the aisle with a beautiful cream strapless wedding dress. In front of her were Chuny, Haleh, Susan, Neela and another girl who I figured might either be a cousin of hers or new person who worked at the hospital now. With the girls were Malik, Pratt, Gallant, Chuck and another person who I didn't recognized. Both Luka and Sam said their wedding vows to each other it was very beautiful. Anyone with the ability to see would know that they love each other dearly. Alex looked so handsome in his suit even, he was the rings holder and what shocked me that day was that he was not messing around or coursing any trouble through out the wedding.
I slowly made my way to the wedding reception, which was held at the Carters family mansion. When Luka told me that he and Carter had gotten close I didn't know he meant close for Carter to use the mansion as the wedding reception. Knowing Carter he doesn't like people seeing were he lived. I walk slowing to the back yard trying to avoid anyone I know. I stand behind some tall flower vases while Carter made his best man speech. He looks kind of funny; he cracks jokes about Luka experiences that happened last year. Wow I didn't know Luka stripped danced at the ER's Christmas party. Carter finally finishes his speech and sits back down and starts drinking the champagne as if it was water.
What the hell does he think he is doing? Where are his precious girlfriend and child to stop him? I see him get up and walk into the house. Ah maybe that's where they are hiding. I stand behind the vase for a few minutes before I decided to find a sit. A pregnant woman should not be doing this it just not right. Where the hell is Susan, I want to go home now, I need to sleep.
I finally find an empty as I am about to sit down I hear someone scream. I turn around only to see Chuny running towards me. No this should not be happening no one was suppose to see me
'Abby!!!!!!!!!' Chuny screams again making half the people in the garden turn around and watching me. She stops half way through her journey and only to stop and point to my belly. Oh great now I have to explain everything to everyone.
'Hey Chuny' I say moving closer to her
' Omg, you are pregnant when did this happen' She asks me eagerly trying to find information to turn into the ER gossip
'Well it happened 7 month ago' I say so that she would not ask me how long am I. By the time I have finished half the ER staff was surrounding me eager to find out more information.
'So when did you come to Boston?' I hear Pratt ask me with his cute smile on his face
'Couple of weeks ago' I say sitting down on the sit Malik got for me. I give him a thank you nod and he squeezes my shoulder to show that he understands.
'Couple of weeks ago and you didn't even come and visit us?' I hear Haleh ask
'I really sorry you guys but with me being pregnant and everything I'm not really mobile you know' I hear little snickers when I say that. But the truth is I don't want to see Carter.
'Speaking of that little bundle of joy in your tummy who is the father?' Deb's asks. As she finished the last word it seemed that the whole garden had gone silent, waiting for that name.
' Oh, it's my boyfriend back in Boston, he is a lawyer back there, he could not make it today'. When I finish everyone seemed to stare around at each other. I knew what they were thinking but it was not true, he was not the father of the baby inside of me.
'Well congrats and is good to see you' I hear Gallant say and he walks over to me and gives me a hug and a kiss.
'Yeah it's good to see you' Neela says and hugs me. She walks over to Gallant and kisses him on the lips; they both walk over to the dance floor and starts dancing. I guess they are a couple. I always knew they would get together, they looked good together.
'Yeah it good to see you Abby, remember you owe me a dance after I tear up the floor with Chen. Pratt's says giving me his signature smile again.
'Whatever Pratt, let me show you how to work it. Abby I will speak to you later and catch up on everything after I whoop Pratt's ass. Chen says to me and then drags Pratt to the dance floor.
I hear a couple more good your back, I miss you and I will talk to you later before everyone leaves me. I see Sam walk up to me and sit next to me.
'You looked beautiful Sam and the ceremony was fantastic' I say to her
'Thanks. I didn't know you were at the ceremony' Sam says looking confused.
'Yeah I was at the back with this little person in my belly it's really hard to move around' I say with a smile
'I could imagine, well I am really glad you came. Sorry to leave you but I need to greet my annoying family members' she rolls her eyes and then gets up.
I sit down around being waited on hand and foot by the caterers. I put my head down on the table till I feel something sit next to me. I smell the cologne and instantly know it's a male. Please don't let it be him. I slowly raise my held and turn around to see who it this mystery person it.
