Abby lay where she was. She had fallen asleep again. She didn't know if all this sleep was healthy. She still hadn't eaten and she was starving, but she didn't want to get up, she didn't want to wake up Carter who was asleep behind her.
She hadn't just woken up, she had been awake for about an hour. People had come in, whispering behind them, Abby had pretended she was asleep. She knew they were gossiping about them, Abby hoped though that Susan hadn't told anyone about her being pregnant.
She didn't know yet how she felt about all of this. She was glad she had finally told Carter this, that he had finally told her everything. She no longer had to wonder, she knew. But what was she going to do. Abby pregnant, it just didn't sound right, or even feel right to her. Abortion had crossed her mind, and as much as she thought about it, she knew she could never do that to Carter. He would want this child.
Still, as stupid as it sounds, Abby had this nagging doubt in her mind. Had Carter done this to her on purpose? Was he jealous that she had finally gotten her life back together and now that his was falling apart he wanted to take her with him? No, she was just being crazy, the lack of food was going to her head.
Abby, being as quiet as she could, rolled off the couch. Carter was still lying there asleep. She walked over to the fridge, and looked inside. There was a full package of donut's in there, so she grabbed 5. She was starving. She sat at the table with the donuts, after about three she began to feel sick again. She really didn't want to barf up the only food she had had other than the stuff her IV was given her when she had passed out, so she lay her head down on the cool table in the lounge.
She was starting to feel better again, so she decided to have a banana instead now. All the sugar was too much for her stomach. She grabbed a banana out of the fridge and walked out of the lounge. It was getting to stuffy in there for her, Carter was still asleep.
Frank stared at her, not sure what she was going to do.
"Hey Frank."
She wasn't on, but she really didn't want to go home.
"Well as long as you aren't going to faint, break down crying, scream at anyone or throw up, we are kinda backed up here, so we could use your help."
"Can't promise anything," Abby smiled.
"Abby, you should go home." It was Susan, she was watching Abby with concern.
"No, Susan, I am okay, really."
"You sure?"
"We talked, we're good."
"What about you?"
"I'm fine."
Abby grabbed a chart and finished off her banana. She was famished. Frank had another box of donut's on the counter, so Abby grabbed one.
"Hey!" Frank said.
"Thanks Frank."
Abby smiled and turned around, she started walking towards exam one when Susan pulled her aside.
"Are you really okay?"
"Yes Susan, I am okay. I swear to you. I am okay, or at least I will be, don't worry."
"Abby...."
"Susan, I am really okay, but thank you." Abby cut in.
"For what?"
"For worrying about me and taking care of me when I faited. I am glad it was you who told me."
"You're my friend Abby. I wanted to make sure you are okay."
Abby hugged Susan.
"Thank you." She said.
Abby walked off, happy for some reason, Carter and her talk and Suan and her talk and the sleep had refreshed her. She was still scared as hell, but she knew Carter would be there, there for her. She was worried about Carter though. He was dealing with so much. She knew now at least he had something to look forward too, she just worried about him. If this would add any un-needed stress. She also hoped he did think of this baby as a replacement to the baby he and Kem were going to have.
That's one of the main things she was really afraid of. Passing on the disease, not being a good mother, and Carter thinking of this child as a replacement. She didn't know how to make it clear to him that it wasn't. She supposed if the baby was a girl, that he wouldn't think of it as a replacement so much. But if it was a boy, Abby was afraid Carter might expect something of it.
