Thanks for all the great reviews, keep them coming.

Abby rolled over on the bed. She didn't want to get up, she had been having a great dream. She knew she had had that dream once before, it was a really long time ago, when she was still married to Richard. She knew she had to get up though, it was most likely morning, and so she would have to work.
Abby opened her eyes and then shut them fast again. She opened them, not really sure she was believing where she was. She was at County in an exam room. Abby sat up, she had an IV in her arm and she was wearing a hospital gown.
"Morning Abby."
It was Sam.
"What am I doing here. What time is it?
"It is 10:30, you have been sleeping in here since yesterday afternoon. Have you not gotten a lot of sleep lately?
"Well I have been really tired. When did I fall asleep.
"You fainted in a trauma, no one knew what happened to you, so they brought you in here and you have been asleep ever since.
"Oh God, Kerry must be pissed.
"Not really, everyone was mostly worried.
"Who did my workup?"
"I think Susan did.
"Could I see her?
"Sure, let me go get her."
"Thanks Sam."
Abby laid back down on the bed. She wasn't so tired anymore, she just felt sick. Even though she hadn't eaten since yesterday, maybe that was why. She was slightly embarassed, she had never fainted during a trauma, she couldn't even remember the patient. It must have been bad to make her faint. She just wanted to do nothing. She didn't want to think or move. She was no longer physically tired, just mentally. She felt really sad, and she didn't know why. Her emotions had been all over the place lately. She couldn't really explain why, she didn't know. But she often just felt like crying. She shut her eyes,
"Don't drift off again." Susan had entered the room.
Abby opened her eyes, and smiled. She was glad to see Susan, it made her feel better.
"You really scared Chen when you fainted during the trauma," Susan said to her. "She said you stumbled into the trauma room, clutching your head, and looked like you were going ot throw up, then grabbed the corner of the gurney and just collasped.
"I was so tired. I have no idea why.
Susan laughed. "I do.
"You do, what?
"I know why.
"Why?
"Well first you were really dehydrated. Second, remember when you and Carter.....
"Yea I remember.
"Well did you guys use anything?
"I dunno, I can't remember, I don't think Carter does.......... GOD NO. Susan please tell me that your not going to say what I think you are.
Abby didn't have to hear it, she knew what was coming. She couldn't believe it, not now, not at all. This couldn't be happening.
"Surprise Abby, you're pregnant.
"Oh Shit."
