Luka adjusted his tie as he walked down the hall to Joe's room. He pushed the door and walked over to the crib. Joe was lying on his back looking up at the mobile hanging over his head. Luka smiled down at him. "Hey, buddy." Luka said picking him up. His diaper squished on his arm. Luka carried him over to the changing table and changed his diaper. Joe tired to wiggle free from Luka's grasp. Luka quickly put a new diaper on him and let him down on the floor. By the time Luka turned around Joe was out of the room. He quickly walked over to the door and saw Joe crawling into the bedroom. Abby was standing by the closet mirror fixing her hair. Abby smiled when she saw him through the mirror. She turned around and squatted down. Joe crawled over to her and she picked him up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. Luka came in a minute later and stood in the doorway. "I put him down for a minute." Abby gave Joe some quick kisses on the neck and he squeeled with delight. Abby walked over to Luka and handed Joe to him. "I'll be ready in ten minutes." "I'll go get his bag ready." Luka said carrying him out of the room.
Luka and Abby walked in through the ambulance bay doors. Abby was holding Joe in his arms. "I'll go take him upstairs." "Alright." Luka smiled and leaned in to give Joe a kiss. "Bye, buddy. See you after work." "Bye, daddy." Abby said taking Joe's hand and waving it at Luka. Luka went off in the direction of the lounge and Abby made her way over to the stairs. Abby opened the door to the daycare. A dark haired woman greeted her at the door. "Hi, Abby. Hi, Joe." She smiled at Joe. "Hi." Abby gave the woman a smile. "Here's his bag. There's a bottle in there and some canned vegetables." The woman nodded taking the bag from Abby. "Okay, buddy. Mommy has to go to work, but daddy and I will be back to get you later." Abby gave Joe a kiss put him down on the floor. Joe started to cry. "I'm sorry buddy, but mommy has to go to work. I'll be back to check on you in a little while." Abby felt so bad for leaving him. He had been feeling well lately and he was very clingy. Abby slowly made her way to the door and Joe crawled after her still crying. Joe reached for her pant leg as she opened the door. The dark haired woman ran up to Joe and picked him up from behind. Abby watched him from the window. Joe was still crying and the woman was trying to comfort her.
Luka walked over to Abby at admit. "Hey, you okay?" Abby was staring off into space. She jumped when Luka put his hand on her back. "Sorry. Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "You don't seem fine." "I was just thinking about Joe. He started crying when I left him up in daycare." "I'm sure he's fine now." "I know. I just feel so bad when I have to leave him." Luka stared into her eyes rubbing her back with his hand. He leaned in and kissed her passionately on the lips. "He's fine." "ER." Frank answered the phone. "Yeah, hold on a sec. It's for you." Frank said holding the phone out towards Abby. She slid off the chair and walked over taking the phone. "Hello? Okay. I'll be right there." "Who was that?" "Linda in daycare. Joe's got a fever."
"I'm sorry, but you know the rules." "Yeah, I know." Abby was holding Joe gently rocking him. "He's been tugging on his ear all morning." "Alright." Linda handed Joe's bag to Abby. "Thanks." Abby put the bag over her shoulder and left. Luka was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. Joe had stopped crying but his eyes were still red and his face was tearstained. "He's got another ear infection." "Are you sure?" "Linda said he's been pulling on his ear all day." Luka followed Abby as she made her way to an exam room. Luka held the door open for her and she walked inside placing Joe down on the exam table. "Did you want to run some tests?" "No. I think I should take him home." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Okay." Abby picked Joe up and he rested his head on Abby's shoulder. "I'll see you when I get home." Luka gave Abby a quick kiss. "Bye." "Bye."
Sorry it's not orange but the colors are messed up and it won't let me change it.

The next morning Luka and Abby were sitting in the waiting room of Joe's pediatrician. There were a few other people in the waiting room also. Joe was sitting on Abby's lap sucking on his binky. He's head was resting on her chest. She stroked his head gently. A nurse appeared at the door and called out a name. The couple next to them gathered up their things and followed her down the hall. A few minutes later the nurse appeared again. "Joe?" She looked down at the chart in her hands. Abby and Luka stood up. Abby grabbed the bag next to her and walked over to the nurse. "Hi." The nurse smiled. "Hi." "Follow me." The nurse led them down the hall. "Dr. Adams will be with you in a minute." The nurse said placing Joe's chart in the holder on the door. "Thanks." Luka smiled. He had a protective hand on Abby's back. Abby went to put Joe down on the table and he started to fuss for her to pick him up again. "I'll take him." Luka said picking him up. Joe reached for Abby once he was in Luka's arms. Luka gave her a sympathetic look. "It's alright." Abby said taking Joe from him. Joe rested his head on Abby's shoulder. The doctor pulled the chart from the holder on the door and closed the door over. "Hello Abby. Luka." "Hi." "So you think Joe has another ear infection?" "Yeah." "Let me take a look." Dr. Adams walked over to Abby and Joe. He pulled out the little pointed light and stuck it into Joe's ear. He started to cry and tried to push the light away with his hand. "It's okay, sweetie." Abby said pulling his hand away. The doctor finished examining his ears. "He's got another ear infection." "That's the third one in two months." Abby said stroking Joe's cheek to get him to calm down. "I can write you a prescription." Dr. Adams said pulling out a pad from his coat pocket. "You know you might want to think about putting tubes in his ears. It will reduce the amount of ear infections he gets." "I don't think so." "Think about it before you decide against it. It will be better for him in the long run." The doctor handed Luka the prescription. "Thanks." Luka gave him a quick smile. Dr. Adams wrote a few things down in Joe's chart before leaving. Luka could tell that Abby was upset. He wrapped his arm around her waist and she sighed heavily. "I'm not putting him through another surgery." Abby said almost in tears. "Alright." "I'm not." Abby looked up at Luka and Luka had a smile on his face. Abby tried to keep from smiling. "I hate when you do that." She hit him playfully on the chest. "Do you think we should?" "If it makes him feel better then I think we should do it." Luka said looking down at Joe. Joe looked up at him with big blue eyes. "Okay." Abby said reluctantly. "I'll go let Dr. Adams know." Luka gave her a quick kiss before leaving the room.

Two weeks later
The alarm clock on the nightstand buzzed and Luka rolled over and turned it off. He leaned over and kissed Abby and her eyes fluttered open. "I'll go make the coffee." "I'm gonna jump in the shower." Abby said sitting up in bed. "Did you want me to get Joe up?" "No, let him sleep a little longer. I'll get him when I get out of the shower." Luka shook his head in agreement and made his way to the kitchen. Abby grabbed a pair of comfy black pants and a clingy white shirt from her dresser and made her way to the bathroom.
When Abby got out of the shower she could smell the brewing coffee. She quickly got dressed and walked into the kitchen. Luka was standing at the counter pouring the coffee into a cup. He put the pot back and grabbed Abby's cup and handed it to her. "Thanks." Abby smiled taking a sip of the hot coffee. "What time to we have to leave?" "7. The surgery's at 8:30." "Alright." "I'm gonna go get Joe up." Abby gave Luka a quick kiss and made her way back down the hall to Joe's room. Abby pushed the door open to his room. The nightlight on the dresser eliminated the room in an orange glow. She walked over to the crib and watched Joe sleep. He looked so peaceful. She quietly pulled the edge of the crib down and picked him up. He stirred a little but didn't open his eyes. She carried him over to the rocker and sat down. She gently rocked him until he woke up. "Hi, baby." Abby smiled. She picked him up so he was standing on her legs. She pulled him in and gave him a kiss on the tip of the nose. Joe smiled as she picked him up and carried him out of the room. Joe rested his head on Abby's shoulder as she walked into the living room. Luka was sitting on the couch reading the paper. "Hi, daddy." Abby said walking over to the couch with Joe. "Hey, my big boy." Luka said taking him from Abby. Luka gave him a kiss and placed him down on the floor. "Are you going to jump in the shower?" "Um...yeah. I just wanted to finish my coffee." "I'm gonna finish getting ready."
Abby and Luka walked through the ambulance bay doors. Abby pushed Joe in his stroller. "Hey what are you doing here? I thought you were off?" Neela said walking over to them. "We are. Joe's surgery is today." Abby said pushing his stroller back and forth. "Oh." "It's okay, he's just getting tubes put in his ears so he won't get so many earaches." "Call me later and tell me how things go." "I will." "I better get back to work. Talk to you later." "Yeah. Bye." "Bye." Luka and Abby made their way to the elevator. When they got upstairs Luka checked Joe in and they got situated in room. Joe was wearing a diaper and a gown that had Mickey Mouse. One of the nurses was getting him ready for surgery. Abby held him in her lap as the nurse tried to get an IV going. Joe started to cry when he saw the needle. Abby held him tighter as the nurse stuck the needle in his hand. The nurse quickly taped the IV in. "All done." Abby turned Joe around and held him close to her chest. "Shh. It's okay." "We'll be back to get him in a few minutes." Luka walked over to Abby in the chair. A tear rolled down the side of her face. "I hate it when he cries. It makes me feel terrible." "He knows it's not you." "I still feel terrible." Abby said wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
