Author's Note: I named the patient Melanie after a girl who died yesterday. She was an exceptional basketball player and an honour roll student. Rest in peace Mel, we weren't ready to lose you but you're in a better place now.

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone but Kali.

KALI'S POV

My tired steps put a frown on Melanie's face.

"It's so hot!" I explain, mustering up all my energy to smile.

"Yeah," she nods.

After Abby left, I had gone to meet Melanie and found out that she and her family were from Canada. They were taking a trip around the USA and a truck had plowed into them today when they reached Chicago. Ray asked me to bring Mel for a short walk while they worked on her parents.

"So where do you live in Canada?" I ask.

"Quebec," she answers, cutting off the conversation.

"I'm from Canada too, I moved here a little less than a year ago to live with my older sister Abby. She's a doctor at County," I explain, starting the conversation up again.

"So are you at the hospital a lot?" Mel inquires, looking somewhat interested.

"Yes and no, when I'm bored and I can't get ahold of my friends then I'll walk over and hang out for a bit," I tell her, wondering how much she'll start to pry.

"Where are your parents?" she sounds snotty now.

"It's complicated, let's go back now," I turn on my heel and don't care if she follows me or not.

………

Swinging the door open I find Abby and Carter on the couch, staring at each other. Abby looking scared and Carter looking shocked.

"What's wrong?" I breathe.

"She's pregnant," Carter states.

"Oh my God! Abby!" I scream, running to her and jumping into her arms. "John is it yours?" Abby nods slightly.

"John you're going to be a dad! I know it'll never replace Josh but this baby will be a new beginning! I can't beeeee-lieve it! You guys are going to have a baby!" I jump around the room and hug them. Carter gets up and swings me around, laughing along with me. Abby grabs us both and we hug.

ABBY'S POV

I almost cry with relief when Kali starts bouncing around. Her innocence is adorable and I wish I could just be happy. Instead, the first thing I thought of was Bi-Polar and if John was ready for this.

"Ladies, dinner at Chicago's finest restaurant tonight. Go get ready and I will pick you up in one hour," John announces, kissing Kali on the forehead then rushing to me for a mind-blowing kiss.

"Okay bye," I say weakly, as he heads out the door grinning.

…………..

"Kali you said you'd be quick!" I yell, banging on the bathroom door.

"I was," she smirks, opening the door and heading to her room. I speed into the bathroom and take the quickest shower ever. The bathroom is steamy as I blow-dry my hair and the heat is becoming unbearable. Whipping open the door, I make my way to my nice cold room and lie down on the bed.

"Lazy bum, what are you planning on wearing?" Kali appears by my bedside in a flowing white skirt and brown tank top. Her hair falls down in waves and she has the sides pulled loosely into a half ponytail. Very bohemian looking

"Make me look pretty okay? I'm too hot," I moan, sitting up.

She scurries to my closet and pulls out a filmy, silver dress that has a scoop neck and the bottom has a diagonal cut below my knees. Throwing it at me I get up, drop my towel, put on some underwear and panties, then the dress. Kali comes back in and puts my hair up into a French Twist.

In exactly one hour, we are both ready. There is a knock at the front door and Kali pulls it open. Revealing a stunning John Carter in a tux.

His eyes land on me and stay there. I know we'll be okay this time.
