Luka and I were working the nightshift, it was a slow night so I decided to get some coffee at the Jumbo Mart. Luka was working with a patient and I didn't want to bother him. I was coming back into the ER with two coffee's in my hand, Neela had asked me to get her one, when I looked up to the clock in the Waiting Room. Wow, it's already midnight. Tuesday is already here. I keep walking and I reach the admin desk. No one around. That's weird. Where did everyone go? I go to one of the computer's checking if the results of one of my patients is back. And then I feel someone's hand around my waist pulling me close. I turn around to find Luka smiling at me like crazy.

"What?" I ask.

"Have a minute?"

"Yeah... is everything alright?"

"Just need to tell you something. Come here." He grabs me by the hand and we walk to one of the exam rooms that has all the blinds closed.

"What do you want to tell me?" I'm looking at him not really getting what's going on.

"Happy Birthday!" Haleh, Chuny, Neela, Jerry, Ray, Inez, Pratt and Morris are smiling back at me. They've been hiding there and I didn't even notice. There was a cake in the middle of the room and I'm suddenly being hugged by Neela.

"Wow... I wasn't expecting this." I finally manage to say once I let Neela go.

"Well, that's the point of a surprise!" she says.

"I know..." I'm smiling now and then I add: "Thanks to all of you"

"Jerry you better get back to the admin desk there is no one there. I'll put the cake in the lounge and who ever wants a piece just go get it in their break." Luka says.

"Yes, sir." Jerry says and starts walking to the door. He stops infront of me and pulls me into a hug. "Happy Birthday"

"Thanks Jerry!" I hug him back and finally he let's me back on the floor. Everyone goes back to work and I'm left alone with Luka who is just grinning.

"Was this your idea?" I ask, turning around accusingly.

"Partly. Neela and Jerry also helped"

"So that's why she asked me to go get some coffee! I can't believe this!" I'm looking around at the cake. "Thanks"

"My pleasure." he says pulling me close to him to kiss me. Our lips meet in a sweet and tender kiss. I move my arms to his neck and then I hear someone clearing their throat at the door.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys but there is an MVA rolling in... ETA 2 minutes" says Neela gazing at the floor.

"I'll get it." Luka says while he pulls himself away from me. He walks pass Neela towards the admin desk and to the ambulance bay.
I can't help but smile like crazy and Neela just looks at me in puzzlement. "So... I guess that Christmas wasn't the only time you two have spent together lately"

"Very funny! I think I'm going to take the cake to the lounge..." I get the cake and start walking.

"Oh come on! Tell me about it!" she says following me closely.

"What do you want to know?" I whisper.

"Are you two dating now?"

I nod. I know I'm blushing now so thanks God the lounge happens to be empty.

"Ok, promise you won't tell anyone?" I say.

"Who am I going to tell?"

"Let me think... Michael? Ray?" I say

"Does anyone know?"

"Actually... Dr. Weaver knows" I say while I look in another direction.

"She knows! Oh my God, you told her before you told me?" She must feel kind of hurt about that fact but...

"I didn't tell her! She saw us kissing, like you did just some minutes ago"

"Oh... so that's the only way this is coming out... People walking on you two kissing"

"No, I mean... We want to keep it a secret, just for a while... The first time we dated things didn't end up the best way..."

I can't tell her we want to take it slow. Pretty soon people will know I'm pregnant and then what am I going to tell her?

"How long have you two being going out? Hold on... don't tell me it was... You did tell me the truth when you said you slept with Luka?" her eyes are widely open as she realizes it.

I don't seem to get any words out and just nod.

"Oh my God! That was when Michael came back home... In October! We are in January for God's sake! How long do you want to keep it a secret?"

"I don't know. Now that you know, and that Weaver knows... I don't think it will be a secret much longer"

"Well, it was really nice of her not to say anything. But then... who is she going to tell actually"

"Hey..." we are interrupted when Ray walks into the lounge. "I thought I might get a piece of cake know that everything seems to be peaceful. What are you two up to?"

"Nothing..." we both say at the same time. And I can't help but smile.

"Yeah, right"

"Girl talk Ray. You wouldn't be interested." I say. "I better get back to work, my break is probably over by now"

I leave the two of them alone in the lounge and walk back to the admin desk. I need to check the results of my patient now.


Seven hours later I walk into the lounge to go home. There was only two pieces of cake left.

"Hi there." I turn around to find Luka sitting behind a pile of paperwork. I didn't even notice him.

"Hey... I didn't see you there. Seems like they enjoyed the cake, there isn't almost nothing left"

"Yeah I know... Did you eat a piece?"

"I did. Around 3 am. And you?" I start walking to my locker.

"Yeah... I did... So heading home?"

"Yeah, I know it's been a slow night but I'm exhausted anyway. Are you staying?" I remove my lab coat and my stethoscope leaving them inside the locker.

"Actually, I was thinking you could come to my place and I'll give your present..."

"You bought me a present?" I turn around to look at him.

"Something like that..." he is grinning.

"Something like that?" I'm grinning too now.

And then Sam walks into the lounge and says:

"Hey Abby... Happy Birthday! I'm sorry I wasn't here last night but I was unable to leave Alex." She walks towards me and hugs me. I can feel Luka's eyes on my back.

"Thanks! And don't worry." I say while I let go of her. "There is still a some cake left if you want"

"Thanks but I think I'll pass. Just had breakfast" she walks to her locker. "Hi Luka... Didn't see you there. Are you hiding?"

"Not really. Just a lot of paperwork. But anyway, I'm going home"

"Well, see you. My shift is about to start." Sam says while she walks out of the lounge.

"That was weird." he says.

"Do you think she knows or what?"

"I don't think she knows, at least not yet." he remains silent for a minute and then adds: "So do you want to know about your present?" he says while he gets up from the chair and walks to me.

"Your present?" Oh right!

"You actually thought I forgot, right?"

"Well, yeah... I forgot myself. I looked at the clock at midnight and I didn't even remember"

"Where is your head this days?" he says teasingly. I just laugh at that. His arms move around my waist pulling me closer and finally he kisses me passionately. Oh God... this feels great!

"Maybe we should leave before someone else walks in"

"Yeah, you are probably right." he says but kisses me again and again.

"Luka...!" I mumble between them.
