hey guys im back! (dont know whether thats a good thing or not?!) lol here's the next part:
"Your mom's here...with some guy."
When Frank closed the door behind him, an uneasy feeling swept over Abby, she looked up at Luka questioningly,
"Some guy? ... Eric?..."
Luka knew he didn't have to say anything, he slowly blinked and shook his head.
"No...it can't be"
She was desperately hoping Luka would change his answer, but he didn't say anything more,
"I told her i didn't want to see him..."
Abby was beginning to get angry, pacing the room whilst suddenly feeling insecure in her own skin,
"...i told her..."
"I no, i tried to stop her," Luka came closer to Abby but she wasn't in the mood to be comforted,
"...what am i supposed to do? ... i mean, what does he expect?"
Luka shrugged, he'd never been in this situation, he didn't know what to say, though he desperately wanted to make things right for her.
After being silent for a moment, Abby stopped pacing to look again at Luka,
"Where's Joe?"
" He's at the desk," Luka paused, and breathing out continued, "probably with your mom"
At this Abby nodded,
"Right...lets go"
With that she gathered herself and walked out of the lounge, Luka watched her and followed closely.
****************************************************
As Abby opened the door to the lounge she immediately got a clear view of her son, who was sat on top of the desk giggling and chatting away with Maggie who was giving her grandchild her full attention.
And there he was...standing their next to Maggie...her father. The sight of him made Abby stop in her tracks, she had recognised him immediately, he looked just like she remembered, but then different at the same time.
She used to wander if she'd ever see her father again. When she was younger she used to imagine him turning up and taking her away to a different life, where she would be part of a normal family.
For don't all little girls like to think that their daddy's are heroes? Abby soon realized this was not the case, and learned to live without him, so why was her here after all this time? was she supposed to welcome him with open arms?
****************************************************
It seemed to Abby as though time had stopped as she stood there watching her son and parents, a thousand thoughts running through her mind, but then Maggie glanced up and saw her daughter standing there.
She stopped laughing at the joke she was sharing with Joe,
"Abby.."
With the mention of her name, her father also looked up.
Though Abby could feel him looking at her, she never met his gaze.
"...we thought we'd surprise you" Maggie continued as she walked towards Abby, opening her arms to hug her daughter.
"Well i'm busy mom." Abby said coolly, walking past her both her parents to the desk to pick up Joe.
"Come on baby, let's go home."
Joe seemed a little confused as to what was happening as Abby headed for the door,
"Abby..." her father spoke for the first time. The sound of his voice caused Abby to pause slightly.
Turning, she looked past him to Luka,
"You coming?"
Luka nodded,
"Yep" he walked over to Abby who was still holding Joe and put his arm around her shoulder as they walked out of the ER.
