Chapter 13:

Carter wakes up early. Really early. He decides to stop by Abby's place to see if she wanted to go to work together. He gets ready and leaves his house.

Abby is just getting ready to leave for work when she hears knock at the door. "Come in!" she yells as she searches for her keys. She then remembers that the door is locked and goes to open it. She opens the door and greets Carter with a kiss.

"You come bearing coffee." Abby notices.

"Yeah well I was up early, and had nothing to do, so I decided to drop by your place. Figured we can go to work together or something."

Abby smiles. She loves it when Carter does little things like that. Carter hands her a coffee. "Thanks," she says.

The next thing Abby and Carter knew was that they were both in bed together, kissing passionately. Abby rolls over and looks at the clock. "Shit," she says as she starts to get up. "We are gonna be so late." At this time Carter gets up too. They both start to get dressed, and then run out the door to Carter's Jeep.

As they arrive at County, they both jump out of the car. They are both twenty minutes late and Weaver was on today. "Do I look okay?" Abby asks him.

"Yeah, sure," Carter says, walking fast to the door.

"I mean do I look like we just had sex," Abby says as they run through the ambulance bay.

"I don't know, do I?" Carter asks. Abby looks at him then fixes his hair.

"That's better," she says. "Now let's go endure Weaver's wrath." She says, staring into Carter's eyes and smiling. They kiss before they walk through the ER doors.

As soon as they walk into the ER, they hear Weaver. "Do you two realize you are both half an hour late!"

"Sorry!" they both say as they start running to the lounge to avoid Weaver.

"Hey! Get back here! I'm not done yet!" Kerry yells as she starts to follow them.

"Shit Carter we are so screwed." Abby says quietly as the open their lockers. Weaver comes barging in.

"When you're schedule says your shift starts at 7:30, it means you are here at 7:30, not eight!" she screams.

"Okay, were sorry, it wont ever happen again," Abby tells Weaver.

"It better not," Weaver says as she walks out of the lounge, calming down.

"See what happens when you come to pick me up!" Abby tells Carter, as she playfully hits him on the arm. Carter just laughs as Abby leaves the lounge to start helping patients.
