Disclaimers note: I don't own ER but I do this fanfic

Chapter 3

Author's Notice: I'm no Doctor so I may be wrong about some medical terms. I hope you enjoy reading it. I'm not sure what age Abby is or if she's still with Carter in this fanfic. I've only really started to watch ER so I'm quite new to it.

"When's Abby coming out of Surgery?" Carter asked Susan.

"I don't know. Elizabeth said it could be a while."

Carter sat down on one of the chairs in the ER lounge.

"Why did it have to happen to Abby. She's such a nice person. Now look at her she's in such a bad shape."

"She'll get through this." Susan encouraged "We'll both help her."

Susan sat down next to Carter.

"I wonder how Abby knew about that man in trauma 1?"

"Elizabeth told me she was trying to give the guy CPR." Carter replied

"You think he was in the accident to?"

"Possibly. But then I can't understand why he was brought in a day later. Its strange."

"Yeah it is. Maybe when Abby's memory comes back she can tell us who he was." Susan said "They found no ID or nothing on him."

+++++++++

A while later Abby returned from surgery.

"All went well." Elizabeth said "We had to put some pins in her arm to hold the bones together. She's going to be in a pain when the drugs wear off so be prepared for that. I had to also intubate her just to be on the safe side."

"Ok. Thank you." Carter replied.

Carter and Susan went to Abby's bedside she was fast asleep but something wasn't right. Her eyelids were moving about wildly and there was sweat all over her face and body. Suddenly her body arched and the monitor by her side started to beep harshly.

"She's having a panic attack!" Cried Susan "Get the tube out of her. She can't breathe."

Carter quickly removed the tube and Abby's eyes flashed open and she gasped for air. She looked widely around the room unsure of where she was.

"Abby it's okay. We're here." Susan reassured her.

Abby looked at her the fear draining from her face. Carter slipped the oxygen mask over Abby's nose and mouth and told her to take deep breaths.

"Its okay now Abby. Nice deep breaths."

Abby closed her eyes feeling tired again.

"Get some sleep. We'll both be here if you need us. Okay?"

Abby nodded and closed her eyes falling off to sleep again.

+++++++++

Abby woke up a few hours later in pain. She tried to shift around but the pain in her arm got worse. Susan who was at Abby left side noticed this immediately.

"Its okay Abby. I'll just get you some morphine. Okay?" Abby nodded.

Soon Abby was drugged up and feeling a little better.

Carter placed his hand in Abby's.

"Abby you were giving that guy CPR. Do you know him?"

Abby looked at Carter "Yes. I remember."

"What do you remember?" Susan coxed.

"Smoke. His face." Abby winced catching her tongue

"Susan and I think you were involved in a car accident do you remember anything about it?"

Abby looked at Carter blankly.

"I don't remember car. I remember Smoke. His face. I don't know why." Abby began to sob.

"Its okay. Its okay. Shhh." Susan comforted.

Abby quieted down.

"When you remember you tell us. Alright?"

"Okay." Abby said.

"Water please." Abby asked.

Carter nodded and soon returned with a cup of water and straw.

Abby sipped the water feeling better.

"Thank you for saving me." Abby said and for the first time smiled a genuine smile.

"That's okay." Carter replied, smiling back.

"Yeah that's what were here for. Saving lives." Susan added.

"I never thought I'd be a patient here." Abby said. "I hate sleeping in this bed!"

Carter laughed "Sorry I couldn't let you have a 5 star bed but this was the only one available."

Abby laughed.

"I'm glad you are feeling a little better Abby." Susan said.

"Yeah drugs are great aren't they!?"

All of them started to laugh.

Would Abby stay happy for long or would something shatter her world?
