Chapter 3: Everything's Falling to Pieces
The rain doesn't stop falling. They're both wet.
"Abby, answer me!"
"No, Carter!"
She can make him let her arm go and they started arguing. She walks a little far away from him and yells, after taking a deep breath.
"Would it make any difference if the child is yours or not? What would you do about it?"
"This"
He walks towards her and kisses her. Luka is leaving the ER in the moment they're kissing. He gets very angry and grabs John by his gown.
"What do think you're doing?" – Luka asked.
"Just taking care of what is mine!" – John answered.
"Since when Abby is yours!" – Luka asked, controlling himself to not beat John up.
"Luka, stop please. It's not worth to fight. Let's go home" – Abby begged.
Luka hesited and Abby begged one more time, holding Luka's arm, shaking.
"Oh, and Carter… Do me a favor and stay out of my life!" – she yelled.
This is getting serious. I have to do something – she thought.
"Why was Carter bothering you?" – Luka asked.
"No reason, Carter doesn't know what he wants" – Abby answered.
Luka, I love you so much. But it isn't time to tell you the truth yet. I'm having John's child. I just don't know how to tell you without hurting you – she thought.
Next morning, at ER… Abby and Susan are talking.
"And how's the baby?" – Susan asked.
"How do you know?" – Abby asked.
"I saw you feeling nauseous yesterday"
"Not out loud. I don't want anybody to know. And he's okay, thanks".
"How are you gonna tell them?"
"I don't know yet, it's gonna be tough"
"Yeah"
"Carter's gonna have a surprise"
Suddenly, Susan looks past Abby with wide eyes. Abby gets scared and asks
"What's wrong, Susan?"
"Turn and see yourself" – Susan said.
Abby turns and sees that John was listening to everything. And then she passes out.
