Hey everyone! I just started this story, and I have it posted over at ERheadquarters, and I decided to post it here also! It takes place when Joe's 5, and Abby and Luka are married. Everything that happened with the surgery, and almost losing Joe did happen, so it kinda follows what happened so far this season. Let me know what you think!!
Chapter 1:
Luka walked through the front door tossing his bag over to the side, kicking his shoes off he called out to Abby and Joe, “Hey, I’m home!” Not long after Luke heard tiny footsteps running down the stairs, and around the corner.
“Daddy!” Joe yelled sliding on the hardwood floor as he turned the corner. Luka braced himself for his 5 year old son to leap into his arms.
“Hey buddy! How was your day?” Luka asked hugging Joe.
“Great! Mommy and I played candyland, and I won! Then she made us grilled cheese, and we ate it outside,” Luka nodded listening to Joe while he walked around the corner looking for Abby. “Then we raced to the hill, and I won again!” Joe giggled holding onto Luka as he walked around the house. “After that we rolled down the hill, I bumped into mommy and we laughed.” Luka sat Joe down on the floor as he continued to tell him about his day. “After that we went to the park, and played on the swings, and played tag!” Joe said climbing up on his chair as Abby sat some cookies and milk in front of him. He paused to say thank you, then continued, “It was getting cold, so mommy said it was time to go home. She gave me a piggyback ride all the way home!” Abby and Luka shook their heads smiling as they listened to Joe. Luka snuck behind Joe to give Abby a kiss.
“I think someone had fun today.” Luka whispered tilting his head towards Joe who was still talking as he dunked his cookie. Abby nodded giggling, “Daddy you listening to me?” Joe asked turning in his chair.
“Yes, I’m sorry. Then what did you do?” Luka asked sitting down next to him.
“Well… I forgot where I was, so, I just had fun!” Joe shrugged flashing Luka a smile identical to his mothers. Luka sat back watching Abby clean Joe up, and looked down at her left hand as a diamond ring and wedding band glistened in the light. For a moment he replayed the last 5 years in his head. The shootout causing Abby to have their only child, then almost losing him, asking her to marry him shortly after Joe’s first birthday, and buying their first house together. He smiled as Joe pulled him out of his daze.
“Daddy read me a bedtime story!” Joe pleaded pulling at his arm.
“Go pick one out, and I’ll be right in.” Joe turned towards the doorway, and raced up to his room.
“I missed you today.” Luka whispered snaking his arms around Abby’s waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled.
“I missed you too.” She whispered standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.
“Daddy you coming!” Joe yelled at the top of the stairs. Abby and Luka laughed as she stepped back letting him walk by.
“I’m on my way pal.” Luka yelled walking out of the kitchen. Abby was putting the dishes away from dinner when the phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Abby?”
“Yeah… who’s this?”
“Your father-in-law.” Abby giggles softly at him trying to talk English.
“Oh, hey! How are you?”
“I’m ok. Is Luka busy?”
“He’s just reading Joe a bedtime story. Hold on I’ll get him for you.” Abby took the phone up to Joe’s room. “Luka, it’s your father.” Luka gave Abby a confused look, and put down the book.
“Hello?” Luka’s face dropped as he listened.
“What’s wrong?” Abby asked sitting on the bed. Joe crawled onto her lap as they both watched Luka. When he hung up the phone Joe crawled over to him and Luka held him close. “What happened?” Abby asked resting her hand on his.
“It’s my brother. He has cancer, and it’s spread throughout his body.” Luka choked back tears.
“Oh Luka, do you want to go?”
“I don’t know…”
“I think you should, we should go. You need to be with him.” Luka nodded standing up, and sitting Joe on his bed.
“Mommy will finish your story.” Luka said walking out of the room. Abby let him go as she cuddled up to Joe finishing the story. When she was done, and Joe was asleep she walked into her room seeing Luka laying on the bed.
“You ok?” She asked laying down next to him.
“I called the travel agency, and the hospital. We leave tomorrow afternoon.” Luka sat up wiping the tears off his cheeks.
“Ok, I’ll get the suitcases from the attic.” Abby said standing up, but Luka pulled her back hugging her. She wrapped her arms around him letting him cry.
