Chapter 2 – Dehydration.
Carter carried Abby out to his car and she did not stir even when he accidentally bumped her head on the car door whilst trying to lay her on the back seat. He raced to County, pulled up outside the doors and carried her into the madness of the ER.
"Hey! Randi, what's open?" Carter shouted.
"Um, exam three. Is that Abby? Is she ok?"
"Yeah I think so but can you send someone in please?" Carter laid Abby on the bed. Susan came running in.
"Hey Carter, what's happened?"
"I think its food poisoning. I brought her in for IV treatment, she's really dehydrated"
"Ah poor Abby, she'll probably be fine once she gets some fluids into her system. Where did you eat?" Susan asked.
"El Nocinos, that new Mexican"
"Wow, that's really posh isn't it?"
"Yeah, the perfect setting for my task"
"Oh my God! Did you do it!" Susan exclaimed.
"Yes, and she said yes! We're getting married!"
Abby began to stir.
"Where am I?" she asked Carter.
"I brought you to County honey. You're really dehydrated"
"Ughhhhhhhh" Abby went back to sleep. Susan connected the drip and then accompanied Carter to Doctor Magoos for coffee. Of course she wanted every detail about the proposal and wasn't disappointed.
A little while later, Carter was able to take Abby home. She was fast asleep so he disconnected the drip, took the line out and carried her through the ER.
"Hey Susan, we're off. Thanks for everything" Carter shouted.
"Ok, Bye Carter, tell Abby I hope she feels better soon"
"I will"
Carter drove back to the house. Abby started to stir as he pulled into the drive.
"Carter" Abby croaked.
"Ah hey Abs, how are you feeling?"
"I'm alright. I'm so sorry for ruining our first day as an engaged couple"
"Hey, it's not your fault Abby. All I care about is that you are ok"
"I'm fine. I just need a good nights sleep and I'll be fully recovered"
Carter got out of the car and walked round to Abby. He carried her into the house and to their bedroom. He lay her down on the bed and sat next to her, stroking her hair as she fell asleep. It had been a long day and Carter was happy to be home. He couldn't take his eyes off Abby. She was his most precious thing in his world right now. He couldn't imagine life without her. Yes, she was chaos, but who wanted a butterfly? He loved the fact that Abby was so lively and unpredictable. Of course, it was annoying sometimes, but it made life interesting. He never knew what she was thinking but it was a good challenge to try and find out. He saw Abby as the missing piece of the jigsaw in his life. Yes, he had the money, the house, the job, but until Abby came along, he hadn't really had anyone to share it with. He had lived for his job, which was not a bad thing, but he had so much more to live for now.
