"Mom? Mom?" Abby looked around the living room and didn´t find Maggie, then she heard a noise coming from the guest room.
"Mom?" Abby asked again walking towards the room with Carter on her wheels.
"Oh, hey honey. I didn´t hear you coming. Did you just came home from work?"
Maggie asked Abby while packing her things. When she saw that Carter was there too she looked at him and said.
"Hello John. I hadn´t seen you in there. How are you?"
"Hi Maggie, that´s ok, I´m fine really, and you?" Carter asked informally.
" I´m...I...I´m really...well I´m ok, worried about Eric, but ok." She answered a little nervous. Abby notice the bags and asked.
"You´re going back to Minnesota?"
"Yeah, I´m going to wait there to see if he shows up. Can´t be here forever." She laugh at her own coment, but soon notice the expression on Abby´s face.
"What, what is it?" She asked concerned.
"Ah, nothing...actually, can we talk to you before you leave?"
"Uh,...sure." Maggie answered insecure.
"Let´s take a seat in the kitchen, I really need a cup of coffee." Abby said starting to walk back to the kitchen, with Maggie and Carter following her.
"Anyone?" she asked getting mugs from the cabinet.
"Yes, please." Carter answered first.
"No thank you, I just had tea." Maggie said sitting down.
"Ok. Listen, I know things have been crazy around here, with Eric and all, but I made a choice." Abby started saying.
"I think I´ve screwed up my life once, and I don´t want that again. Of course you and Eric will always be my family, but I decided to do things for myself. So I can live my life the way I always wanted." She stopped a little to see Maggie´s reaction and to regain breath. Maggie was a little shocked, but was agreeing on everything Abby was saying.
"Tonight my life had a hole other turn, I found out that Eric is still alive and I was asked to marry." By that time Maggie was in complete shock. She stand up and start pacing around in the kitchen repeating.
"Getting Married?" Abby was starting to get pissed with this, and stand up.
"Mom, are you ok? Look it´s not like I haven´t been married before." At this point Carter got up to say something, considering that he was just watching.
"Maggie, I don´t know what to say, except that I love Abby, and that I´m going to make her happier then ever."
Maggie had stopped listening when she heard the words I love Abby´.
"I´m just shocked, in a good way, of course, I mean I can totally see that you guys are meant to be. I can see it in Abby´s eyes when she come home, or listen in her voice when she talks about you. You´re crazy about with each other." After she had stopped, Carter and Abby breathed in relieve to see how great she was taking the hole situation.
"Thanks mom, it´s just after everything I´m with someone I love, and just to think in the fact that I´m spending the rest of my life with Carter makes me happy." Abby said with a grin.
"I can see that. Now come here you two, congratulations!" Maggie said pulling both of then in to a hug. When they broke from the hug, Maggie decided to ask.
"When´s the big day?"
"Actually we don´t know yet, but I think we´re still going to have some months to think things through." Carter said while hugging Abby.
"Since it´s not going to happen tomorrow, I think I´m going back to Minnesotta. Wait for Eric to show up, and give you some peace and privacy."
"You could stay for a little longer if..."
"And don´t try to convince me not to Abby, I´m going and that´s it."
Abby threw her hands in the air in defense.
"Ok, ok, no convincing, but I am taking you to the bus station."
"That you can do. So I´m going to finish packing because my bus leaves at 11." With that she left to the guest room, leaving Abby and Carter alone.
"That wasn´t so bad." Carter said walking to the living room, and sitting on the couch.
"It really wasn´t, which is great considering that it was my mother." She said sitting in the couch curling up next to Carter.
"Yeah, it was nice. So I guess my place will be abandoned for a while."
"Not necessarily, we could always go there."
"Hey, I´m not complaining, I like your place, it feels that is ours already." Carter said looking around the room.
"It does." Abby replied smiling. At that moment Maggie showed up.
"All done." And start walking to the door.
"Ok then, let´s get going." Carter said standing up and offering his hand to Abby.
"You know what I´ve been thinking?" Abby asked Carter.
"What?" He answered getting the Jeep keys.
"Since I talked to my mother, you´re going to talk to your mother." She said with a very big smile.
"Oh my God, I hadn´t even thought about that. Oh, I know, how about this, we only tell her 5 minutes before the wedding." He said trying to convince her, but already knowing that it was impossible.
"Oh no. Your mother hates me too much already, can you imagine her face when we tell her that I´m taking away her pretty little boy in 5 minutes?" She said with a mocking voice.
"Hey, she doesn´t hate you, and I´m not...thinking better, I´m a pretty little MAN."
"And very modest too, huh?"
"Really? You think?" With that they start driving, laughing at the scene that they were picturing about Carter´s mom.
