Chapter 1
The Carters
"Hurry up Ruthie! We're waiting on you baby!" Doctor John Carter cried up to his 5-year-old daughter.
"Dad, I say we send Ruthie to an institution that takes unwanted children and be done with her!" Carter's 13-year-old daughter, Paige, complained.
"Paige! I've had enough alright?" Carter snapped trying to get his 3-year-old son, Gabriel, into his coat. Ruthie bounded down the stairs with her 15-year-old big sister, Bella, right behind her. Carter sighed. She was looking more and more like Jessica everyday.
Jessica and John Carter had been married for 13 years. John had met Jessica at a medical conference in Wyoming. The two were an instant match. Both of them had just started college so neither one was looking for anything long term. They dated briefly on and off for about 2 years until Carter had finally realized he wanted a serious relationship. He proposed to her on Valentines Day and, both of them at age 20 got married in a beautiful spring ceremony.
Jessica already had a 2-year-old daughter, Bella. John instantly fell in love with her and the three made a beautiful family.
2 years later they brought Paige Katherine Carter into the world. At this time in their relationship, Jess and John started to have some marital issues. They were little things, though, and the two eventually got over it.
The two waited a while until they decided to have another child. In December the couples 3rd child, Ruthie JaNae Carter, was born. "I want a boy!" Carter would complain to Jessica. She would always smile at him and throw something back at him. John loved Jessica's smile and knew that one day he would get his son.
2 years later and the next pregnancy, Carter got his wish. On Valentine's Day, the couples 10 year anniversary, Gabriel Lee Carter, Adrian Michael Carter, and Julia Myra Carter were born. It was triplets! After his 4th, 5th, and 6th children were born, Carter was sure Jessica and him were meant to be together and would always be together. But sadly he was wrong.
On July 1st, Jessica was shot and killed at a local grocery store, picking up Julia's prescription medicine for her ear ache. She was brought into the ER, where John worked along with his colleagues, Mark Greene, Doug Ross, Carol Hathaway, Peter Benton, Kerry Weaver and his 3rd year medical student Lucy Knight.
Her time of death was called at 20:13.
Hi everyone!
This is my 1st ER fic. I didn't even start watching ER until like 4 weeks ago so sorry if I mis-spelled names, forgot people, etc. I don't own anyone except all of Carter children and possibly some other people later. As you already guessed Jessica is fictional. Anyway, tell me what you think. Good, bad? I have some good things going for future chapters so I hope you will review and put your input.
