Disclaimer: I don't own ER or any of the characters. (But Emma is mine.) Blah, blah, blah.

A/N: Sorry its been so long since my first update but I've been incredibly busy with catching up with my schoolwork and all of the other activities I'm involved with and I've had absolutely no time to write less alone read any fics. Okay. That was like the longest sentence I've ever written. Oh well. Doesn't matter. Back to the story. Oh yeah. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAURA TIERNEY!

Unforgettable Moments

Chapter 2: You wish/ Mini Flashback

Richard looked up immediately and dropped Emma on the floor and headed for Abby.

"OUCH!" Emma screamed as she smacked her head on the corner of the table.

"EMMA!" Abby yelled.

"Don't touch her again you bastard," Abby warned as she ran into Richard.

"Get off me you bitch!" he yelled as she jumped on him.

"You wish!" she said throwing a punch at his face.

EMMA'S POV

Oh God. What happened? I remember now. I was fighting with Dad and then Mom saw him. He threw me into the table and then I totally blacked out. That was around 3:45 or something. And now it's…4:15!

"Mom!" I managed to yell before I lost consciousness again.

Mini Flashback

2 hours before

"So we'll pick you up around 4:30?" Luka asked.

"Yeah. Bye Luka, Carter," Abby replied excitedly.

"So where are we gonna go?" Susan asked Abby as they headed towards the lounge.

"I dunno. Does it really matter though?" she asked, "I mean the whole point is just to have fun, right?"

"Yeah. I guess," Susan said, "Where's Emma going tonight?"

"Oh shit! I forgot about Emma."

"She can always come with us," Susan suggested.

"No, she'll just have to stay home."

"By herself?" Susan asked slightly shocked, "Well I mean you're leaving her alone with Richard?"

Susan was aware of the domestic violence going on between Abby and Richard but didn't know how bad it actually was. And Richard had never had inflicted pain on Emma but Abby was always watching out for her. Making sure that she was never alone with Richard.

"Um…well I think she's old enough that she'll know who to call if she needs help," Abby said unsure of her decision.

"Well okay. I gotta get back to work," Susan said.

"I'll talk to her about it when I get home," Abby said as she headed out the door, "Bye."

"See you tonight!" Susan shouted out after Abby not knowing what her friend was going home to.
