----------------------------------------------- 2months later

"Seriously John, I'm fine."

"Abby, you look half dead."

"Why, thank you. I sure know where to come for my complements from now on." Abby snapped and turned away.

"Stop overreacting. All I said was I think you should sit down for a minute. You went really pale and I'm worried." Carter bit his lip.

"Everything is fine, I swear. If I felt ill I would sit down. Nothing is more important to me than this baby and its health." She reached for John, burying her head in his chest and sighing. He stroked her hair. Suddenly he jumped.

"Did...was that...is it..." He grinned.

"Yeah, it's kicking. It was kicking all last night as well."

"And you didn't wake me?" He joked, knowing if she'd woken him he probably would have cried having worked a double and 4 nights that week. "When's the appointment?"

"In...ten minutes up in OB."

"Okay, I'll sort my patients out, hand them over to Luka and come up with you." Abby nodded and sat down, picking up a magazine and flicking through it.

"Hi Abby." Sam entered the lounge and opened her locker. Alex dawdled through behind her, hat down.

"Hi Sam, How are you?"

"Fine, even though this one has been driving me up the wall." Sam looked down at her son. "Don't look at me like that, no board! I warned you."

"But muuuum." He whined but stopped when Sam glared at him. He brightened as he spotted Abby. "Hiya Abby!"

"Hey Alex, what'd do this time?"

"I back-chatted mom." He pouted.

"That was silly. How long you not allowed your board?"

"A week. Cos it's the third time I've done it and mom is sick of it." Abby stifled her laugh at the blatant parroting of his mom's previous words. "Are you still having a baby?" he asked.

"Isn't it obvious? Yeah, only 3 months left."

"Cool! Can I come and see the baby after it's born?"

"Probably, but you'll have to come with your mom so it depends whether she will."

"Believe me, I will come and see you. I'm so happy for you." Sam said, slamming her locker and smiling. John poked his head around the door and smiled at Sam and Alex.

"You ready?"

"Yeah. I'll see you later Sam. Keep out of trouble Alex." Abby left the lounge and went into the lift.

"Third floor; Obstetrics."

"Well Abby, your baby is growing nicely. Good heartbeat. Oh, nice strong movements." Dr Coburn laughed as the baby kicked against the scanner. "I'd say you have a very healthy baby. Placenta is in a good place, it doesn't look likely to cause any problems. Have you got any questions?" They shook their heads. "Do you want a printout of the scan?"

"Yes please." John said, blushing. Dr Coburn didn't really need to ask; he had got a print of every scan before this and tacked it to the inside of his locker. Abby had joked that he needed another locker just for the pictures.

"I'll see you soon. May 25th hopefully." Janet shook both their hands and led them out.

"I love seeing these scans." John said holding up the bit of paper. "It reminds me it's all real."

"Isn't this enough to remind you?" Abby pointed to her distended stomach. "It is for me!"

"I can't wait til the birth."

"I can." She said, sarcastically.

"You pretend to be so cool and calm but I know really you're really excited."

"Excited? About trying to push something the size of a basketball out of something the size of my nostril. Hmmm, yeah really excited!"

"Come on Sarky, back to the decks."

"Yay!"
