ahhh, you'll see, you'll see!! this one is a tiny bit backwards in time from where the last chapter ended - i hope that makes enough sense to prevent major confusion. have a happy christmas everybody - and above all, Enjoy! Love LJ xXx thanks to all the reviewers who reviewed chapter nine: Faith, I_Love_Samka, jadedXbrownXeyes (really enthusiastic - thanks :D!) and exploradora. All I Ever Needed. Chapter Ten. What I Should've Realised “Carter’s back,” Luka told Susan as she came in to start her shift. “I know, I saw him yesterday. Is he here right now?” she asked. Luka nodded to the Lounge door. Susan raised her eyebrows and bit her lip. “I’m glad,” Luka admitted. “I’m glad he’s back – I was starting to worry.” Susan smiled kindly at him. “Me too,” she agreed. The Lounge door creaked open. Carter walked through and walked out. “Carter?” Luka called after him. Carter ignored him and walked out of the ER, his eyes fixed on the floor. Luka and Susan looked at each other, anxious and confused. “Carter?” Susan shouted. Luka nudged her. “Go after him.” He urged her. “Go after him.” She nodded and dashed after. The Carter-shaped figure crossed the street and she sprinted down the other side, slipping and skidding but not really caring. “Carter! Carter, where the hell are you going?” she yelled. People on the street stopped and stared. She didn’t care about that either. “For God’s sakes, Carter, you asshole.” He stopped and turned, slightly shocked. Susan slid to a halt on the opposite sidewalk and stood, glaring at him. “Abby’s got Luka. And they’re happy and they’re a family,” he hollered at her. She stared, momentarily stunned. “What the hell are you talking about?” she yelled back across the roofs of cars driving past. “I shouldn’t have expected her to not move on after I left. Luka and she had a history,” “Move on? What? You think she and Lu-? Jesus, Carter – you’re more deluded than I thought you were.” “Huh?” “You think she and Luka got back together? Carter, she’s missed you more than anything. She’d never do that. How long were you away?” “Erm – “ Carter thought for a while. “About five months I guess.” “Right then – how long would you like to guess Abby’s been pregnant for?” Carter’s arms fell to his sides. How come he didn’t see this before? “About five months?” he suggested, weakly. Susan shot a withering look at him. “That’s right, jerk.” She snapped. He looked hurt. Susan sighed and softened – he was so confused, poor guy. She crossed the street and put her hand on his shoulder. “I – I didn’t realise.” He stuttered. “You should’ve, honey. You are a doctor, after all,” she smiled, sympathetically. “All Luka has ever been to her is a good friend while you’ve been away.” “I’m sorry,” he mumbled, ashamed. “I think you’re telling that to the wrong person, Carter.” Susan told him, gently. “You can still make it up to her. And you damn well better or you’ll have me to answer to.” Carter looked at her and smiled. “Abby’s pregnant with my kid,” he murmured, slightly in awe of it all. “Yeah, and she sure as hell wouldn’t have wanted you to find out this way.” Susan sighed. “I think you’d better go and sort this out.” * * * A few minutes later, Susan was heading back to the ER alone to begin her shift ten minutes late. It didn’t matter, Weaver could yell at her all she liked – that didn’t matter. It was then that she saw Abby standing out in the sub-zero winter looking distraught. “Abby?” Susan called and raced down the street towards her. “What are you doing out here? It’s freezing.” And as Abby cried in her arms, Susan hoped Carter was going to make it up to her in a seriously significant way. |

this one jumps about in time a bit, too at the end. thanks to jadedXbrownXeyes, I_Love_Samka and Faith for the reviews. Enjoy! Love LJ xXx All I Ever Needed. Chapter Eleven. What Was Waiting For Me. “It’s ok, it’s ok,” Susan soothed as she led Abby back inside and into the empty Lounge. “What is it?” Luka asked, following them hurriedly before he was caught and kept overtime. “He came back,” Abby explained between sobs. “And he’s gone. Again. I didn’t even see him – but he must have seen me. And he must’ve not cared.” She dug her face into Susan’s coat and carried on crying. “What happened, Susan?” Luka murmured, over Abby head. Susan smiled, grimly and rubbed her friend’s back. “It’ll be alright,” she replied, to both of them. “Look, Abby. I think you should go home and relax – you’ve worked too hard, you’re tired and you’re obviously upset. I’ll take you home, right now, okay?” She felt Abby nod and Susan helped her to her feet. Luka grabbed Abby’s coat off the back of her chair and draped it around her as they left the Lounge. “Kovac, where do you think you’re going?” Kerry Weaver’s unsympathetic voice sounded from around the corner then Weaver, herself, hobbled into view and stood glaring at the tall Croatian. “Home – my shift is over, Kerry.” He told her, simply. “Well, change of plan, you’re staying. There’s an MVA coming in,” she snapped. Luka looked at Susan and Abby, and then at the glowering Kerry Weaver, hesitantly. “Forget it, I’ll stay – my shift started ten minutes ago anyway,” Susan sighed and reluctantly left Abby’s side. Weaver glanced at her watch. “Good, you can stay an extra ten minutes afterwards, too,” she barked and marched off. Susan rolled her eyes. “God, someone needs to up her morphine,” she muttered, darkly before turning to Luka and Abby. “Will you walk her home then, Luka?” “Of course,” Susan smiled at him and hugged Abby. “Cheer up, honey,” she whispered before grabbing a chart and leaving. Luka put his arm around Abby and walked out into the bitterly cold winter. “Let’s take you home,” he murmured and wrapped her coat more tightly around her as the pair of them headed home, fighting the elements in mutual silence. They reached her building and he pushed open the door to allow her in first, escaping the chilling wind and heavy sleet. He looked at her, standing in the middle of the dimly lit entrance with her wet hair and clothes plastered to her skin, as though he was seeing her for the first time. She sneezed suddenly and he smiled. “Lovely weather,” he commented. His voice echoed through the empty building and felt too loud. He spoke again in a whisper: “How are you feeling?” She breathed a laugh. “Cold.” Luka grinned. “Me too,” He shook his head violently, sending water droplets flying from his hair. She smiled and took his hand. “Come up with me,” she led him up the stairs to her apartment. “As a friend, as my friend,” she added. “Is that okay?” “Of course,” he answered, but all the same, his heart pounded furiously as he climbed the stairs after her. * * * “She got back okay, then?” Susan asked him when he returned to the ER, minutes later. “Yeah,” he replied, quietly. She leant over the admin desk and looked at him. Luka noticed her watching and forced a smile. “You okay?” she spoke softly. He ran his hands through his damp hair and tapped his fingers on the desk for a while before answering. “Yes,” he said, firmly and decidedly. “Yes, I am.” “Good,” Susan rubbed his arm, understandingly. She looked at her watch. “Well, I’m off.” She grabbed her coat and flung her scarf around her neck. “Hey, Susan,” Luka began, digging his hands into his coat pockets, awkwardly. “You want to go and get some coffee or something?” Susan smiled as she tugged a pair of gloves on and she shrugged. “Sure, why not?” * * * Luka had followed Abby up the stairs until they came to her door. Abby took out her keys and put them in the lock as Luka watched. Then, before she opened the door, he kissed her quickly. She looked at him, stunned for a moment. “As a friend,” he added, hastily. “Honest.” Abby swung her front door open and flicked on the light. Carter was standing in the middle of her living room. “Hi, Abby,” Carter greeted, sheepishly. “Bye, Abby.” Luka had whispered, leaving her in shock as he slipped away. He had guessed Carter would be there – he was resigned to the fact that that’s how it would always be. He pulled his thick coat closer around him and strode back to County General. |
