RATING: PG-13 just in case
SPOILERS: None
DISCLAIMER: Carter and Abby don't belong to me. They belong to NBC, and Warner Brothers, and all of the other people who own the rights to ER.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is set in at the time of series 10, but none of series 9 happened! Also Benton and Greene are in, because I really like them! Also this is my first fan fiction so take that into account when you read this! Also I have no knowledge of medical procedures etc. so anything to do with that will more than likely be wrong.
Ok all you need to know when reading this is that Abby and Carter have been together for a year, but kept it a secret from everyone. Please review and let me know what you think :)
Thank you to everyone who reviewed this fic so far they were all so sweet :)
"CARTER!" Susan screamed. She got up and ran to her best friend's side. She checked his pulse and then started calling to him. "Carter, Carter, can you hear me? John, John, please," by now Susan was crying, but she knew she needed to get John a backboard and gurney, but she felt she couldn't move.
Meanwhile
Inside the ER everyone was asking Abby questions about her relationship with Carter, she kept saying to them she would tell them once John got back. Suddenly they heard Susan scream "CARTER!" Abby looked up and then ran outside a long with a couple of others. Abby was frightened for her husband and could tell by Susan's tone that she needed to be frightened. Running out the doors, Abby stopped dead in her tracks. On the road was John and Susan was over him crying. The doctors and nurses who had run out with Abby went straight into 'doctor' mode.
"Malik get a backboard, gurney and neck brace, Chuny set up trauma one", Mark Greene told the nurses.
Once Malik had returned with the equipment he was asked for, Mark, Peter and Gallant put Carter onto the backboard and gurney. Mark fixed the neck brace, then they started rolling him to the ER. They paused for a second when they saw Abby, she was standing in the same position she had stopped in.
"John," she whispered, and then started crying.
"We'll help him Abby," Peter told her, "and then he'll be alright."
"He has to be," Abby told them, still in a whisper.
Everyone ran inside, ready to start working on Carter, all but Abby, who still hadn't moved, Susan, who was still sitting where Carter had been and Jing-Mei, who although she was upset, knew that she had to be strong for her friends. She walked up to Abby first.
"Abby", she called. Her friend turned around. "Come here, sweetie", Jing- Mei told Abby, and opened her arms. Abby immediately agreed and walked into her inviting arms. Jing-Mei just held a crying Abby, until she stopped shaking.
Jing-Mei looked at her other friend who had been sitting the same spot, for at least 5 minutes, probably more.
"Susan?" Jing-Mei called over. At her best friends name, Abby looked up and saw her, still sitting on the ground next to where John had been. Slowly she walked up to Susan, with Jing-Mei next to her. Abby touched Susan on the shoulder and her friend looked up.
"He.he.he got knocked over trying to help me," Susan said, the looked away, "I'm so sorry Abby, this would never have happened if I'd been happy about you getting married in the first place."
"Susan, Abby, why don't we all go inside, we'll go into the lounge, okay?" Jing-Mei said. The two nodded so Jing-Mei put her arms around them and guided them through the ambulance doors, and into the lounge.
Meanwhile
Mark, Peter and Kerry ran into trauma one, with Malik, Chuny and Yosh.
"On my count, one, two and three," Mark told the ER team, they moved Carter from the gurney to the one in the room. The doctors and nurses immediately got to work. Peter examined his stomach, with an ultrasound, looking for any internal damage. Kerry checked his head and ordered a CT, to check for any head trauma, while Mark put in a chest tube, and then put Carter on a vent.
"Sinus attack," Malik shouted.
"Get the crash cart," Kerry ordered.
"OK, charging the paddles to 300," Peter called out, "Clear"
"V-fib", Chuny called.
"Charging again to 360", Peter said, "Clear. " "Normal sinus rhythm." Chuny said to the room. Everyone let out the breath they had been holding
"Oh, thank God," Mark said quietly.
"Right, we have to get him upstairs," Peter told everyone. Malik, Yosh and himself took John up to the OR.
The people who had been working on Carter all came out of the room, took their gloves and gowns off and walked over to the ADMIT. As it was slow everyone was standing there.
"How is he?" Elizabeth asked.
"He's stable. Peter took him upstairs," Mark answered, then shook his head.
"What is it?" Kerry asked him.
"This shouldn't be happening to him, he's been through enough already," Mark answered. Everyone nodded, they all knew about Carter's stabbing, even if they hadn't worked at the hospital when it happened.
Just then the lounge door opened and Abby, Susan and Jing-Mei came out. From their faces everyone could see they had been crying.
"How is he?" Susan asked. Mark told them what he had told Elizabeth and the rest of the staff. Susan and Jing-Mei asked a couple of questions about other injuries John had had. During this Abby stayed silent, she knew if she said anything she would break down in tears again.
"Abby, why don't you go upstairs and wait for him to come out of surgery," Kerry told her. Abby just shook her head.
"I can't, I just want to stay here, until he comes out, otherwise I'll drive myself crazy thinking about John."
"Why don't we come up with you then Abby?" Jing-Mei asked her friend.
"Yeah, I could do with some company too," Susan said. Abby nodded, and walked towards the stairs. The two followed her, hoping that when they got upstairs she would tell them what she was feeling. During the time they were in the lounge, Abby hadn't said anything, and although they knew she hid her feelings, they wanted her to tell them so that she would feel better, because from the look in her eyes they knew she was devastated inside.
When the three got upstairs they saw Dr. Romano walking towards them. From his look Jing-Mei could tell that Romano knew that the two were married.
"Abby, how are you?" he asked.
"I'm fine," she answered. Susan inwardly shook her head, she was used to Abby's trademark response to that question.
"Well I just want to let you know how sorry I am for Dr. Carter."
"Thank you," Abby answered.
"Peter is in surgery with him still, do you know what they are doing in there?"
"Yes, Dr. Greene and Dr. Weaver told me."
"Good, well if you want to go into office it will give you some privacy," Romano told the trio. Abby smiled, knowing that this was emotion you hardly ever saw from the Chief of Staff.
"Thank you," Abby once again answered.
"Now, if you ladies will excuse me, I have to perform an appendectomy." He smiled at Abby then walked away.
Susan put her arm around Abby's back and led her to Romano's office, so that they could wait on the results of John's surgery. Hopefully it went well, for John's sake and for Abby's sake.
