Hey everyone I know it has been a long time since I've last updated. I'm really sorry for taking so long, but I had a few family problems and because I didn't feel like writting, but thank God everything is ok again, so now I'm updating this chapter. I hope you'll like and sorry for my english, that is not really good.
Carter's pov
"Hey Dr Carter"
"Hey daddy" Lucy runs into my arms.
"Hey sweet, hey Denise what are you doing here?"
"My brother suffered an accident, he lives in New York and my parents are on a vacation in Rome so I have to go check on him. I really sorry I know that I should take care of Lucy until 8, but I really have to go!"
"That's ok Denise, go see how your brother is. Don't worry about it ok"
"Thank you so much Dr Carter I own you one!"
"Bye Denise I hope your brother is ok!"
"Thank you, come here Lucy give me a kiss. See you on Monday ok!"
"Yeah see you Denise!"
"Daddy, are we going home?"
"Not yet sweet I'm working"
"But daddy I'm tired I had a really busy day at school!" I laugh at this statement her busy day must have been to play hide and seek and to draw a picture!
"Dad I serious I'm tired today we played hide and seek and I had to drawn a picture!"
See I said so!
"Lucy I'm in the middle of a shift I can't leave now. It's just for a while you can wait in the lounge."
"But daddy…"
"No more buts Lucy there's nothing I can do!"
"Hey Lucy what are you doing here?"
"Aunt Abby hi!" She goes where Abby is and hugs her.
"My nanny's brother suffered an accident so she dropped me here, and I'm really really tired, but I can go home because daddy has to work!" She says looking at Abby with hers big brown eyes pleading for help.
"Hey I got an idea I'm off in 15 minutes how about I take you home?"
I can believe this, she convinced Abby to take her home with just one look. I can't believe it!"
"Abby please this is ridiculous you worked a 12 hour shift, you're probably tired and have to go home to take care of Joe. I'm on for just another 3 hours she can wait!"
"John come on she is tired and tonight Joe is at Luka's. And I don't want to be alone."
"Abby you don't have to do it."
"John please you took Joe to watch the Bull's game last week, so let me take care of Lucy tonight!"
"Ok so what time I pick her up at your place?"
"Hum can't we go to my house aunt Abby I really want my bed!" She says with a smile.
"Lucy Abby is doing us a favor…"
"That's ok John give me your keys and I'll take her home to her bed!"
Abby's pov
"Here we are. Do you want a glass of milk before going to bed?"
"Actually now that we are here I want to show you something!"
Why do I have the feeling that she planned the entire thing?
"It's in dad's room can you help me pick it up?"
"Lucy I don't want to rummage in your father's things!"
"We are not going to rummage in anything. We are just going to see!"
We enter in John's room and I feel a little uncomfortable, the clothes are throw over a chair the same way it used to be when we were together. The scent of cologne is still on the air. She missed this scent so much after he left…
"Aunt Abby help me here"
Lucy is trying to catch a box there is on the top of Carter's closet I go over her and pick the box up for her.
"Come on let's see!"
Inside the box are a lot of photos. "Here this is my dad when he was at my age. He was so cute, wasn't he?"
"Yeah he was really cute"
"And this is my mother"
"I know you mother sweet."
"Really? She lives in Africa and helps a lot of people."
"That's really great! Do you miss her?"
"Not really I have my dad and he takes care of me, but sometimes I wish I had a mom to take me to the mall and with me, because my daddy does that, but it is not the same thing!"
"Let's make a deal sweet. Whenever you want to go to the mall or play you can call me and we'll do it together, ok!"
"Thank you so much aunt Abby! You're the best just like my daddy says!"
I can fell myself blush a little bit. So he thinks I'm the best! That's good to know!
A little later
Lucy and I saw a lot of photos tonight, pictures of when he still was a kid, of when he first came to County, of his wedding with Kem, of his life in Paris and also some of when he was in Africa.
Lucy fell asleep an hour ago. I put her onto bed and then came back to the living room to see more photos.
There is little wood box with the amount of photos on the top of the little box there are two letters carved an 'A' and a 'C' I open the box and inside of it I found pictures of us, Carter and I, of when we were together. Pictures of when we went out with Eric and the ER's parties, there are some photos of us at my old apartment, every special moment that we ha it is here in this box. I never really admitted, but I really missed him over all those years. He was not just my boyfriend, but also one of my best friends. We were happy together, of course there were some really bad times, which hurt both of us a lot, but if you look at our relationship in a global way you'll see that we were really happy together. Sometimes I wish I could go back to he night when he first came home from Africa and went straight to my place , so then I could stead of asking for my key back tell him how much I loved him and how important he was for me. But I can't and if I hadn't asked for my key back I probably wouldn't have Joe and John wouldn't have a Lucy, so I guess things happens for a reason.
I can feel myself a little sleepy, so I pick up all the photos and put them back in the place. I don't think that Carter would like to come home and find out that I was rummaging in his things.
2 hours later Carter's pov
Oh Abby is going to kill me! I got stuck into the ER, when Abby and Lucy came home I had said I'd be home by 8, now it's already midnight. I was leaving the hospital when we received multiple traumas, so I was dragged back there.
I open the door and find Abby asleep on the couch. It has been so long since I've last seen her sleeping. There are a lot I miss Abby, one of them it's to watch her sleep. She looks so peaceful like an angel. When we were together I used to wake up before her just to watch her sleep.
I really don't want to wake her up, but sleep on the couch won't make any good to her back.
"Abby" She doesn't even stir
"Abby come on let's put on the bed"
"John"
"Yeah .Go sleep on the bed Abby!"
"John I'm so tired let me here"
I realize that she won't go to bed on her own, so I pick her up and carry her toward the bedroom. I put here on the bed, take her shoes off and cover her with the comforter.
I go to the couch and crash I close my eyes and feel my mind being drifted off by the sleep.
Thank you so much for the reviews. Please tell me what you think about it ok!
Big kiss bye!
