"Abby, I'm home" Carter yelled from the kitchen. he was absolutely exhausted. Being an Attending was harder than it looked. he had spent the day being introduced to new interns and med students. the med studens were all eager beavers. they were so keen to learn, it was irritating. they followed him around all day like puppies and asked him annoying questions that he was sure they knew the answers to. Carter had to concede, though, that he was probably like that with Benton. the interns were a different story. they were so cocky and thought they knew everything there was to know about medicine. Carter had to keep a very close eye on them and make they didn't make any terrible mistakes.

Carter got himself a can of soda from the fridge and flopped on the couch in the living room. Abby came in and saw how tired Carter looked.

"Rough shift" she asked softly.

Carter nodded and yawned widely. "What do you want to do tonight?"

"I don't know" said Abby, chuckling sofly. /"But I think you do, you look half asleep".

"Yeah" Carter nodded. "I think I might just hread off to bed if thats ok with you"

"Of course" said Abbhy, leaning down to give him a kiss. "Goodnight my angel"

Carter smiled "I love you"

"I love you too"

Carter walked off towards the bedroom he and Abby shared sometimes. A minute later he was back in theliving room.

"I've just realised~" he said to Abby "you haven't asked me to stay tonight".

"Do you want to stay tonight?" questioned Abby.

Carter thought for a moment. "yeah" he said "i don't actually like going home anymore. Ever since Gamma died, that house seems so big and empty, and I miss you when you're not there".

Abby smiled at his last statement. "I miss you too. Look John, I know we've only been back together for two weeks but it feel so right, why don't we just move in together."

Carter looked taken aback. "Really?" he asked, and when Abby nodded, he gave her a big kiss and a hug.

They walked hand-in-hand to the bedroom, and shut the door.

"I'm gonna make all of your dreams comes true, John Carter" said Abby seductively, taking he blouse off and laying down on the bed.

"God, I hope so" said Carter, doing the same.

And, all thoughts of tiredness forgotten, they laid down and made passionate love.
