Carter put his hand on Abby’s face, as they kissed for a second time. So
many thoughts were going through his mind at that moment. He couldn’t believe
that Abby and him were finally kissing each other after 2 years of waiting. Abby
looked into Carter’s eyes, and she knew that she did the right thing
“Carter, what just happened here?" asked Abby as she sat down on the
bench.
Carter then went and sat next to her.
"Abby, I have wanted this to happen for such a long time, but it just couldn’t,"
he said delicately. "Why did you go out with Susan?" asked Abby softly,
not realizing what she just asked.
"Abby, I just couldn’t date you right after your break- up with Luka,
and Susan was there, but it could never work out because I was still in love with
you, but I didn’t realize that until someone helped me realize it.”
Abby smiled softly.
"John…" But before she could say anything her pager
went off. "I’m sorry John, but I have to go back to the ER, but we
really
need to talk about this." she said as she walked away. Carter watched as
she left the lakeside, and he couldn’t believe how he felt after kissing
her. But how does Abby feel? thought Carter to himself. Hopefully she feels the
same way. He thought. He was getting a little nervous.

Later that night,
"Carter…" said Abby softly. Carter turned around, and saw Abby
standing front of him. "Do you think we could talk now?" asked Abby
softly. “Sure, I just have a patient to look at, how about if I meet you
in 10 minutes at Doc Magoos." said Carter softly. "Sure, I’ll
see you then," said Abby as she walked into the lounge.
About 15 minutes later,
Abby was sitting at Doc Magoos when Carter walked in. "Sorry I’m late,"
said Carter softly as he sat down.
"John… we really need to talk about that kiss," said Abby delicately.
"Abby, I’m really sorry, I shouldn’t have done that, you just
found that about Brian’s trial."
"John, I’m not sorry that we kissed, actually I have been wanting this
for such a long time," said Abby as she took Carter’s hand. "Really,"
smiled Carter.’ I thought that I
was over you when I started dating Susan, but I wasn’t, and that is why
I
broke up with Susan, I only want you Abby. Abby looked up at Carter,
smiling softly. Was this really happening?
Carter took Abby’s hand. "I will help you through the trial, and everything
that happens after that, you are not alone anymore.”Oh John "smiled
Abby as she leaned over and kissed Carter. She knew that everything will be okay
as long as they were
together.

The next day,
Abby walked into the lounge, and saw Carter sitting reading some charts. "John…"
said Abby softly. Carter looked up, and saw Abby, and smiled. "Abby,"
he said as he got up from his chair. "So when are you off?” asked Abby
as she opened her locker. "In about 3 hours," said Carter softly."
Why?" "I just thought my boyfriend would like to spend some
time with me." Abby said with a shy smile. Carter chuckled softly. "Of
course I do," laughed Carter. Kerry then entered the lounge." Carter,
why
did you trade shifts with Jing Mei for tomorrow?" "Kerry, something
came up
that I needed to do," said Carter "Oh, okay," she said as she left
the
lounge, Abby looked at Carter." You didn’t have to change shifts; I
will be
fine on my own."
He looked at Abby." I told you that I would be there for
you when you have to testify, and I mean it," said Carter as he held her
tightly. Abby couldn’t believe how wonderful he was. She was afraid to
testify, but she knew that with Carter’s support she will be fine. "But
let’s just hope I don’t have to say I was drunk, I don’t know
how Carter would
take it if he found out that I started drinking again. Abby thought to
herself as she stood embraced in Carter's strong arms.
