i'm so glad you all like it!!! If I read it I comment myself on my lack of Luby love but I think it will happen soon.....it's not the right time yet.
Weeks have past since I told Susan what was on my mind. She never asked anything when we were at work but outside work she asked a couple of questions. Again about what my mom told me before I left of to Chicago. But I don’t even know if it’s true. Why would she hide something like that for all these years? I just can’t imagine I’ve a younger sister. I always wished for it when I was a kid but right now it makes me feel weird.
When I walk out of the ER Luka is sitting on the bench in the ambulance bay. “Hey, are you off?” I ask him. “Yes, you too?” “Yeah I’m. So any plans for tonight?” “Yup I bought tickets for a hockey game but I asked someone but she called it of. Now I need to go with my kids and myself. Do you want to join; I still have an extra ticket.” “Sure. So you have kids. How old are they?” A huge shock for me, since the first time I laid eyes in him I felt myself attractive to him. “Micha, my son, is 6 years old and Dani, my daughter, is 12 years old. They are my life.” He takes out his wallet and shows me their pictures. Micha is a copy of Luka with his wide open eyes and his beautiful smile. Dani has the eyes of her dad. They both look great. “Never thought you had kids. So, what about your wife?” I see this hurts him and I can slap myself against my head.....Abby you sucker. “She died during the war in Croatia. I left after her funeral to America with my kids. I wanted them to be safe.” Aw shit I’m such a stupid person. “I’m sorry Luka.” And I look down at the floor. “It’s ok. I managed to life without her. Micha doesn’t even know her and Dani, well on occasion she talks about her mother.” I can’t say a word, I feel like an idiot. “So let’s go. We take the kids from their nanny and grab some dinner before the match.” He says and stands up. “Sounds great.” And I follow him to his car.
“Daddy!!!” Screamed Micha when their nanny opened the door. Dani is standing a little further in the hallway, bit shy I think. “Dani, Micha, this is Abby she’s one of my colleagues. Say hi to her” He tells them. “Hello Abby, my name is Micha and I like your hair.” He’s shaking my hand like it’s a can of juice. “You have a beautiful name Micha. Nice too meet you.” Then I see Dani, I think she has the looks of her mother because she has nothing, accept her eyes, of Luka. Her hair is blonde and she has dark eyes. “I’m Dani. Nice too meet you.” She says when she blushes on her cheek. Definitely shy. “Come on into the car we have a game to catch.”
Micha is asking me everything and Luka ask him to stop with it. I like the kid already. He’s so cute. Dani is sitting behind me and didn’t say a word during the game. “Dani, are you alright?” Luka ask her. “Yes dad. I just had a big history test at school and I didn’t sleep that well tonight because I was a little nervous about it. No biggy.” And I see she’s smiling. “Ok kiddo. Abby? This is yours?” I look out the window. “Yeah this is mine. Thanks for the sportive evening Luka. It was nice too meet you two. Sleep tight.” And I close the door.
We had a wonderful evening. Although Dani was shy she said in the ladies room that she liked me. I love kids, they are so pure.
When I check my answering machine there is a message from Susan. She asks if I want to come over cause it’s her birthday and she’s alone. I dial her number. “Suz. I’ll be there in 15 minutes.” And I hang up and ran into my bedroom to change. I don’t have a present, well she never told me its her birthday so its not my fault. Then I see this picture from us at a party from the ER, we both are drunk and laughing. I put in a frame and put it in my bag.
At the time Susan opens the door I start singing a happy birthday song. She smiles and I hug her. “Why didn’t you tell me? We should have celebrated it with the other girls.” I say when I reach the couch. “Ah no. I just wanted to celebrate it only with you. And besides I needed to work.” She says when she hands me my beer. We ended up talking about my mom again and when I think she knows enough she comes up with the question. “Abs, come on what did you mom told you? Just give it to me for my birthday.” She takes my hand trying to make feel comfortable. I sigh and look down. “All right but just because I love you.” I take a nip of my beer and sigh again. “Well it’s a bit confusing. She told me she met this guy where she had sex with for some months. After he left her she found out she was pregnant. She never told me and I never saw a thing. Or I don’t remember it. But she gave birth to a girl. And she gave her away but the day I spoke her, the girl had contacted her and wanted to meet her family. I don’t know if it’s true but if its true I don’t know what to do.” I start crying and I have no idea why. Susan is stunned and is gazing at me. “Abs, you should call your mom and ask her. You should meet your little sister, think she has a right to know you. I know how it feels to grow up without a family. And just face it you would be a great big sis.” She hugs me, again she’s there for me and I’m so thankful for meeting her. “I think your right in a way. I’ll call her in the morning.” And I shiver.

I wake up from the phone that’s ringing. “Abby.” I say with my sleepy voice. “Morning its Luka here. I wanted to ask you something.” His voice makes me meltdown. “What’s the question?” “Well Dani has a party at school and needs a dress but I’m not the right person to shop with. She asked me if I could ask you to go shopping with her.” “Sure. I love shopping!” Suddenly I’m awake. “Right I tell her that. I tell you when the day is. Thanks Abby.” “You’re welcome Luka. Bye.” And I hang up. My thoughts are not with Dani but with the girl who surely is my younger sister. I called Maggie yesterday and asked her to speak the truth. She did and I do have a sister. She’s only 19. So that makes sense why I never noticed anything. It made me a little jumpy and I wanted to scream it out. But I needed to behave because I made the call in the lounge with Susan standing next to me. She forced me to call. And right now I’m so happy that I did it. She’s flying over this afternoon to meet me, I don’t have an idea what to do with her so I think we just going to hang out at my apartment. I grab a shower and put on a stonewashed jeans and a grey tank top. I brush my hair and let it hang around my face. I like it that way. I’m nervous and smoking like a chimney. I have a shift for 4 hours and then Susan covers the rest for me. She’s so great for me.
“Abby, have fun!” Says Susan when I rush out the lounge. “I’ll call you later and thanks for covering for me!” I say and let the door flip out of my hands. I made my way trough the traffic and reach the airport half an hour later than planed. I check my hair in the mirror and take a deep breath.
I check the board in the hall and see that the plane has landed, shit. I rush my way to the meeting point. There are several people standing there and I limit my speed, searching with my eyes to see someone who has something of mom. And then I see her. I hold still and watch her for a few seconds, she has dark-brown straight hair just like me and she’s small. I can’t see her face cause she stands backwards of me. I start walking into her direction and just when I reach her she turns around. “You’re Abigail?” Her voice shivers, I can hear that she’s nervous. “Yes. And you’re Samantha isn’t?” I shiver too. She walks close to me and hugs me. For the first time in my life I meet my little sister and it feels damn good.
“Did you have a good flight?” I ask her when were sitting in the car. “Yeah a short one but it was good.” She pulls her hair out of her face and I can see she feels a bit more comfortable. “I’m sorry I’m not a good talker myself but if you want to tell me something I’ll be all ears.” I say and smile at her. She nods and I look again at her face. Her eyebrow is trembling just like mine does when I’m nervous. “Well there is so much too tell. My whole life I wished I had a sister. And when I found out I had one I was so happy. But it’s weird you know. I know you’re my sister but it doesn’t feel like that. I think it’s just weird at the moment. Last week I met my real mom and my brother and now I’m sitting in a car with my sister. It makes me wanna scream, cry and run.” She puts her feet up against the dashboard and is restless with her fingers. “I know what you mean. But I think it will turn out great. So you met Maggie and Eric. What did you think of them?” Rare question but maybe I can find out how they are handling this. “Eric is a weirdo. Also funny and nice. He took me out to the movies and we went to the pool-café. Maggie was so nice for me, she’s a wonderful mom. She told me everything about Eric and you. And a little about my dad. She told me you had a daughter, Katie who’s living with her dad and that you were a nurse in Chicago. And when she told me you called I was so happy. I thought I never was going to meet you because Maggie told me about your problems and stuff. But I really want to get to know you. When I saw a picture of you at my age I could see that we were family. Same hair and stuff.” She looks at me with a smile on her face. I know that smile, it’s mine.
I pull up in front of the hospital, no idea why but it was an instinct. “This is the hospital I work. I’m an ER nurse. Pretty tough job, always busy and underpaid but I love it.” “Cool! Could we take a look inside? I’ve never been in a hospital.” She asks me. “Sure. I’ll give you a tour.” When we walk into the lounge Susan is standing next to the coffee machine. “Abs back already?” She asks when she sees me. “Yeah there’s someone I want you to meet.” I can’t stop smiling. “Susan this is Samantha my sister. Samantha this is Susan my best friend.” They shake hands and say hi to each other. I show her the rest of the ER and then I take her for a soda to Doc. Magoo’s. She starts telling about high school. How hard it is and that she didn’t passed her biology test last semester. I offer her my help and she allows it.
When we finally arrive at my apartment she looks tired. “You want to rest for a moment?” I ask her when I see her hanging on the couch. “Hmm. I didn’t slept much tonight, nervous.” She yawns. “You can use the spare-room if you like. I need to run some groceries so you could also stay on the couch.” “I’ll take the bed, probably way more comfortable. Thanks Abigail for willing to get to know me.” She says and ends it with a smile. “You can call me Abby, I hate Abigail. Come one I’ll show you the spare-room.” When she’s sleeping I go out to the store and ran some errands. Coming home she’s sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and biscuits. She feels at home I guess.
That night when I’m already in bed I can hear her screaming in her sleep. I get out and take a look. She’s having a nightmare and I don’t know what to do. I turn on the lights and sit besides her. My hand on her forehead and my voice down. “Sam, wake up. It’s a nightmare.” When she opens her eyes she starts crying and all I can do is comfort her.

It's short but think you will like it..
Days went fast and before I noticed it is Wednesday, Sam was in my life for a week now and to admit I adore her. She’s a great kid and I like her around me. She brought new energy in my soul and everything I do likes to go with the wind. It’s early in the morning and I’m up because my shifts starts at 9, its my first shift since a week. I watch her for a while and then close the door behind me. Leaving a note for her with the number of the hospital in case she needs me, and some money to pick up errands.
“Hey Abby long time I’ve seen you here.” Luka is standing at his locker when I enter the lounge. “Yeah I had a couple of days off. How are you? And when is Dani’s shopping event?” I ask him. “I’m fine. Yeah I planned calling you today but now I see you, Dani wanted to go shopping tomorrow after school. I saw you were on.” He says when he puts his lab coat back in his locker. “Tomorrow is fine. Tell her I’m bringing my sister with me.” I smile, for the past week I did not stop smiling I guess. “Sister? Did not know you had a sister. However, I will tell her. School is out at three I’ll write you down the address. Thanks again!” “Me neither. And you’re welcome.” He hugs me and I am a little surprised not knowing what to do. I look down to the floor but he put his hand under my chin and let me look up. Looking into his brown eyes, I melt. “Abby...” He says with a soft voice. “Luka, should we.” However, before I can finish my sentence I feel his lips against mine. Me legs feel blurry and shaky and my head is a little dizzy. When I pull back, I look at him. “Sorry. Never thought that would happen.” He apologizes. “Don’t be sorry. It is just something that happened. And I don’t really regret it. But I really should get to work.” “Right, work. You will bring Dani home and then we can go out for dinner. I’ll see you tomorrow.” “Sound great.” And I walk away.
The day went fast and I just couldn’t stop thinking about what happened between Luka and me. I asked Susan to come over tonight to join dinner with us. At home I find Sam in the kitchen where she is preparing dinner. She’s making something that smells great. “Hey I didn’t hear you come in.” She says when she’s chopping a cucumber. “Hey. Did you have a nice day? Susan is coming over for dinner I hope that’s ok.” I say when I put my legs up on a chair. “Yeah I slept till noon and then I had a long shower and watched some telly. Yeah that’s ok. I like Susan. Want some coffee?” She looks at me and smiles. “No I’m going to take a shower and put on something comfy.
Coming out of the shower I hear Susan talking with Sam. They talk about boyfriends and school. It’s nice to listen to them. Susan has been so great for me and I hope that one day I can do something back for her. “Abby dinner is ready.” I hear Sam yelling. “I’ll be down in a sec.” The table is beautiful Sam made some work of it. Dinner taste good. It’s veggies with mashed potatoes and chicken. Susan brought her best friends Ben and Jerry with her so we have a lovely dessert. When we are sitting on the couch with coffee and a good movie, I feel totally complete. Surrounded by my sister and best friend makes me happy. For a brief moment, I think of Luka. He should have been here too with Micha and Dani. Meaby someday.
