Thanks so much for all of your reviews. I have been really busy and it's been hard to get some time to write, but I will continue this story because I really like it. As long as I continue to get positive feedback, you will see updates at least a couple times a week. This chapter is rated R.

Chapter Twelve

The glowing clock reads midnight on the dashboard as I zoom through the suburban streets to get to Abby's house before I explode. I pick up my cell phone, realizing that I told the sitter that we would be home by twelve. I fell like a kid, calling to let his parents know that he'll be home late because he wants to go score with his girlfriend. I dial the number, Abby looking at me questioningly, like who could I be calling at a time like this?

"Hi, Sarah, um would you mind staying an extra hour?" Abby slaps my leg and flashes me the peace sign. "I mean two hours, I'll give you an extra hundred bucks" Abby laughs out loud, I'm afraid that my offer came off as a little desperate, but hey, she's the one that wanted me to ask for another hour, besides, I have a feeling that she thought my gesture was cute, rather than pathetic. I hang up the phone and flash a smile at Abby, squeezing her thigh gently, her hand covering mine and bringing it up to her lips.

We pull up to her house and we are out of the car and at the door quickly. I stand behind her as she slides her key into the lock, my hands trailing up her sides. I follow her inside, hoping that we could go straight to the bedroom, but not wanting to push it. It seems like I won't have to though because she's grabbing my hand, pulling me up the stairs. We enter the bedroom and I grab Abby's hand turning her around and bringing her into my arms, kissing her gently. I move my lips to her ear and down her neck as she undoes the buttons on my shirt and rubs down my bare chest. I shrug the shirt off my shoulders letting it fall to the floor before resting my hands on Abby's hips and traveling them up her sides under her shirt. She lifts her arms for me to pull it over her head, exposing a lacey black bra. I take a half step back from her, pushing her hair behind her shoulders so I can look at her. I trail my hand up her stomach, tickling her; she shivers beneath my touch. I kiss her again, unclasping her bra and pulling her arms out of it. My hands go back to her stomach, moving over her belly button before she reaches a hand out to cover my own. She moves my hand with hers, guiding me over her breasts, my lips moving down her neck. She lets out a small moan as I move my hands over her, bringing my body closer to hers. I walk her backwards towards the bed as she reaches her hands to the buckle of my belt, undoing it quickly. I step out of my pants, kicking them to the side and then I reach for the hem on Abby's skirt. I let the skirt slide down her legs, leaving her in a black lace g-string that matched her bra. I swallow hard, looking down at her body, running my fingers over it slowly. She is gorgeous, breathtaking, incredible. I can't believe I am about to make love to the woman that I have been dreaming about. I continue to stare at her, unable to make another move as I am in awe. My eyes travel up her body and meet hers; she is smiling big, completely comfortable with my ogling. She laughs a little, pulling me close to her; we fall onto the bed, pressing our bare bodies against each others.

"Oh my god" I whisper lowly, I can't help myself. I moan underneath her, my eyes closed, focusing on her exploration of my body. I search for my barings quickly, trying not to be overly excited before I ask her if she is absolutely sure that she wants to do this. I lie next to her breathing heavily, our naked bodies radiating heat into one another. I bring my hand up to her face and kiss her gently before speaking.

"Are you sure?" Her lips curl into a smile and she kisses me passionately, stopping for one second before whispering a "yes" into my ear. I reach over to my wallet to pull a condom out, opening it slowly, she reaches her hand over mine to stop me and I look up at her questioningly.

"I'm on the pill" I smile big at her, great, obviously, were both healthy, I hate those things anyway. I want to feel her, have pure contact. I throw the condom across the room and climb on top of her, kissing her intensely as I slide into her gently. She moans softly, extending her neck back over the pillow, biting her bottom lip and closing her eyes. I think this is the painful pleasure for a woman that comes with going a while with out having sex. I run my fingers through her hair and kiss the side of her face gently, slowly moving inside of her so I don't hurt her. She takes a deep breath and adjusts her position underneath me.

"Okay?" I ask with a whisper into her ear, I know I am being overly cautious with her. For some reason, she seems so fragile to me. Maybe that's because she's so small or maybe it's just because I like her so much. She nods her head yes and then opens her eyes widely and stares into mine, coming back to me, the pain turning into pleasure as we move together slowly.

A while later, we lay in complete silence, her head resting on my chest; I think I can hear her heart beating. I move my hands down to her back, kissing the top of her head as I lift her off of my chest and turn her over so I can hold her from behind.

"That was incredible" I whisper into her ear, kissing down her neck. I can see the ends of her mouth stretch into a smile as my hands run over her body, touching her in any place that I might have missed during our love making.

"Yes it was" She grabs my fingers and pulls them to her lips, kissing them and then kissing the palm of my hand.

"So what was that extra hour for?" I ask her, curious as to what she had in mind.

"This" She is alluding to our cuddling, which feels amazing, but I have something else in mind.

"Or this?" I kiss down her cheek, reaching her lips as I move on top of her, spreading her legs so my body can fit between them. She laughs her throaty, sexy laugh, before kissing me back. "Okay, this too"

I gaze at the clock next to Abby's bed as she lies in my arms, half asleep. Running my hand down her arm, I whisper to wake her gently.

"Hey, Its 1:45" She stirs a little and turns around to cuddle into my chest. I would do anything to not have to get out of bed with her right now.

"How about another hundred for Sarah to stay the night" She's joking with me, but I'm glad that she doesn't want to get out of bed either. We laugh together, sitting up in bed, collecting our clothing.

The drive to my house is quiet considering that Abby is sleeping, my right hand holding hers between her legs. I gently wake her when I have pulled into the garage. She stretches her arms to the roof of the car, and then looks my way and smiles. I walk into the house, still holding Abby's hand, her following me through the narrow hallways. We reach Lexis bedroom and stand quietly at the door together, watching our children sleeping, she leans her head on my shoulder. I reach over my body and cup the back of her head, kissing her hair lightly before she looks up at me and meets my lips in an innocent kiss. I let her go and walk toward the children, pulling the covers around Lexi's body and kissing her gently on her cheek. I move over to Jake and kiss his forehead before picking up his tiny body and handing him to Abby who is standing next to me with open arms. I smile as I watch her hold him, there is something that is so attractive to me when I watch her with her son. She is an amazing mother. Maybe one day, Lexi will look at her as a mother figure.

I follow her out to the car, opening the door so she could lie Jake down on the back seat. She shuts his door and turns around into my arms. I pull her to my chest and hug her tightly; I wish that she really knew how incredible this night was for me. I want to tell her, tell her everything. I want to tell her that I want to be with her forever, that I haven't felt this way in over ten years. I want to tell her that I want our families to become one, that I want to have another baby with her. I want to give her everything that she could possible want.

I hold her close to me, not wanting to let her go, but its two o'clock in the morning now and we both have morning shifts tomorrow. She lets go of me and looks down at the ground, thinking, I can tell. She looks back up with a nervous face as I look at her questioningly.

"What?" I ask gently, running my fingers down her arms.

"Um . . .I don't want this to come out the wrong way, but um . . . I'm not divorced yet," She plays with the buttons on my shirt, still looking down, "and I'm not even sure that people knew that I was separated. . . so, would you mind keeping this just between us right now . . . just so I don't get the reputation of the ER slut?" I lift her chin to look at me and I smile warmly, the expression on her face turning from worried to relieved. I kiss her gently.

"Well what are you going to do for me?" I joke with her and she smiles mischievously.

"I'm going to let you take me out again this weekend."

"Oh, well then that totally worth it" We smile at each other, our bodies standing so closely together.

"Tonight was . ." She's lost her words as she looks into my eyes, trying to figure out the best way to describe our evening.

"Amazing" I finish for her, hoping that she would agree.

"Yea, it was"

"I'll see you in the morning" I kiss her one last time before watching her get into the car and drive away into the night.

I walk into the hospital only six hours after than seeing Abby off at my house early this morning. I am exhausted right now, but I don't care at all. I would have stayed up all night to be with her if I could have. Last night was the most incredible night that I have had with a woman since longer that I can remember. I feel like a teenager, I probably even have that glow today, the one that says that I got laid last night.

Triage is filled with tons of patient as I walk by, making my way over to the lounge. There could be five hundred million patients in triage today, and I wouldn't even care; I'm on cloud nine and nothing can get me down. I walk through the swinging door and move over to my locker to put my stuff down. I pull my shirt off to change into my scrub top quickly, the lounge door swinging open before I could get it over my head.

"You getting naked in here?" It's Abby's voice, joking with me. I laugh before I can even see her, my head poking through the top of my scrubs. I smile at her, motioning her to come close for the few seconds that we'll get to be alone. She walks up to me with a smile on her face, her hair back in a pony tail with her bangs falling into her eyes, she looks like a teenager, playing doctor; she is absolutely adorable. I kiss her quickly, both of us looking around to make sure that no one is coming through the door. I slide my hands down her sides, wanting so much to take her into my arms, but remembering that we need to keep our personal relationship quiet when at work.

"I wish you could have spent the night. I would have loved to wake up next to you this morning" I slide my hand down the side of her lab coat.

"Well maybe you can wake up next to me this weekend when Jake stays with Trent" She smiles, playing with the buttons on her shirt.

"Actually, I think that this weekend I'm going to send Lexi to visit Ali" She raises an eyebrow at me, I love that she likes my idea. Just thinking about spending the weekend alone with Abby is all I need to go on with my life.
