CHAPTER 4

AN: REREAD!

The people here are nice, and with the leverage I have over Abby and John I can get almost anything I need. Really, blackmail is one of the greatest things ever...

The two of them are so funny. They are terrified that someone in the ER will find out about their relationship. Actually, if you listen to them they're not scared about people knowing, more about what people will say to them. That may sound like the same thing, but it's not. They couldn't care less if all of their friends knew, Abby's ex has moved on and Susan was the one who told Dr. Carter to finally go after Abby. Although, Susan and Dr. Carter ended it a couple years before Abby even came to work in this ER. And thank god Susan ended it with John otherwise I don't know what this world would have come to.

Anyways, John is ready to shout from the roof that he and Abby are together. But Abby is the cautious one. She won't tell me what but I can tell that something happened to her in her past. She never talks about it. I don't even know if Carter knows. But whatever it was, or is, it keeps her trapped within these walls and the only person I've seen come close to cracking them is Dr. Carter. And yes, I know that I have only known them for a week, and for the first half of that week I was unconscious and I only know them in a doctor-patient relationship. Okay, well that last one isn't totally true.

Yes, technically they are my doctor and nurse, but really we spend much more time together than that. I have all three of my meals each day with at least one of them. Abby has even come in a couple of times when she was off to bring me lunch. I see them a lot. Granted, this is an odd sort of relationship, but I enjoy it and I think they do too.

Abby and John came in on my third conscious day in the hospital for lunch. They had gone across the street to the diner and brought back good food for three. The stuff that comes around on the lunch trays is disgusting! I send the hospital food home with them every night for Murphy.

It was cute. The three of us talked for a while. It's amazing; when I'm with them I can imagine that they are my parents. It seems as though my parents are sitting on the end of my bed and not in a coffin...

We talked. I asked about Murphy, they said that she was doing good and that when I got out I could go see her. After the fries and burgers were finished Abby tucked me in and I pretended to nap. It's a new habit of mine. We always finish the meal before their break is over and because they have been working so much I give them time alone. They, like myself, are creatures of habit. Everyday, every meal Dr. Carter will sit in the corner seat and Abby will sit on his lap.

Abby and Carter are so great together. I don't worry about their relationship. Yeah, sometimes they fight, but they know each other so well that they make-up almost instantly. It's almost sickening. This morning, for example, Carter did something to really piss her off. He wouldn't tell me, no matter how much I threatened. Abby told me. He really can be an idiot sometimes. There's this old, well, kind of old woman named Marcia who has been in the ER for a couple of days now and she's kind of been hitting on Dr. Carter...a lot. Most of the doctors and nurses just ignore the patients that float through here and Carter tried, I think. But when he went to fix her central line she threw her hands around his ass. Without Dr. Carter in the room Abby confided in me that she doesn't blame Marcia because it is a nice ass, but she can always blame him.

According to Abby men can be blamed for everything. I laughed at this piece of advice, which only flustered her more. After ranting for god knows how long, the only thing that she convinced me of is that letting the cute doctor deal with the horny old female patients is a bad idea.

Anyways, when lunchtime came around they had finally made-up and I was watching them in the corner. I couldn't hear most of the conversation but I did hear Carter tell Abby that I was asleep. At that comment my eyes shot open. I'm a snoop and I am proud of it!

So, Abby and Carter had made up and before returning to their shift they wanted to spent some time TOGETHER. Not in my room thank you very much. It was too tempting. My bed had been moved close to the window. I couldn't resist. So I waited. I was patient. I waited for my moment. I could see their reflection lightly against the glass. When they were really getting into the kiss and wouldn't have noticed a bomb I slowly twisted the plastic control thingy and boom...the shades were open.

Abby and Carter didn't notice a thing. From the admit desk, Dr. Lewis, Malik, Chuny, and Sam were all staring. Even Dr. Weaver did a double take. My professionalism had lasted long enough. I giggled and Abby and Carter both turned to look at me only to see Dr. Lewis running towards my room. Oops.
