This is short, but it's all I can give to you right now.
Hours later, Abby found herself driving down I-80, on her way to Iowa City. Susan had no idea she was coming, but Abby knew she’d be welcomed just the same. Abby turned on the radio, and Creed’s “With Arms Wide Open” filled the car. “Well, I just heard the news today. It seems my life is gonna change.” Abby immediately turned off the radio. A song about a man finding out he was going to be a father was not what she needed right now. As she drove down the endless stretch of highway, Abby marveled over how one action was going to change her life forever. After leaving the clinic that day, Abby had felt empty. Not because she had terminated the pregnancy, but because she realized that she couldn’t. Abby had realized that although she had probably lost Luka for forever, this baby would be her last remaining tie. Abby pulled up in front of Susan’s house, almost afraid to go knock on the door. Thinking “Well, it’s now or never,” as she had so many times that day, Abby got out of the car and walked up the path to Susan’s suburban home. She knocked on the door and was surprised to find it open so quickly. “Abby? Oh my God, what are you doing here?” Susan exclaimed, immediately ushering Abby in the front door. “I…you’re not going to believe this,” Abby started as she set her bags down, “I’m pregnant.”

I come bearing an update. PLEASE review after you read. I need to know what you think of what I'm doing.
Luka was coming off an especially difficult shift when he discovered Abby’s note. Angrily, he ripped it off the door and didn’t notice the house key that was attached to it had fallen to the ground. “Pregnant? A termination?!” he mumbled as he searched his refrigerator. Finding what he wanted, Luka settled on the couch with the cold glass bottle, preparing to remove all remnants of Abigail Lockhart from his life. Susan’s eyes grew wide. “Pregnant, Abby?! I didn’t even know you were in a relationship!” “It wasn’t exactly a relationship…” Abby grew uneasy. “A one night stand?! Oh my God!” “No, not a one night stand! It was, well, it’s complicated.” “I assume you’re staying here, so we’ve got a lot of time. Start talking.” Susan led Abby into her kitchen, and Abby settled at the island while Susan went to make tea. “Do I know the father?” “Yeah, you do. It’s…” Abby stopped. Admitting out loud that Luka was the father of her baby would more than cement the finality of the situation. She sighed heavily and forced herself to continue. “Luka. Luka’s the father.” Susan stopped, and had to steady herself on the counter. “Luka, as in Dr. Luka Kovac?” “Yeah, the one and only,” Abby sighed. She leaned on her elbows, thinking of how her decision in the clinic today was going to change her life. Would she be able to handle being a single mother, living with a daily reminder of yet another failed relationship? “Wow…” Susan abandoned the tea kettle and sat next to Abby. “Well, what are you going to do?” “I had an appointment to terminate this afternoon, and I couldn’t do it,” Abby said plaintively. “So, you’re keeping the baby?” Susan tried to imagine tough-as-nails Abby Lockhart raising a child. It was a scenario she never though she’d be faced with. “It’s beginning to look that way, isn’t it?” “Well, do you know how far along you are?” “According to the clinic, 7 ½ or 8 weeks. They did an ultrasound and found a heartbeat. That was when I knew I couldn’t do it. Last time, the fetus wasn’t developed enough to have a heartbeat, so I guess I didn’t see it as an abortion. I just looked at it as a last ditch attempt to save my marriage.” For a moment, Susan didn’t know what to say. Abby almost never brought up the abortion she’d had towards the end of her marriage. “I don’t know what to say, Abby.” Susan placed her hand over Abby’s, as a sort of gesture of solidarity. Abby managed a small smile. “Thanks, Susan. Are you sure it’s okay that I’m here? I mean, I can get a hotel.” “Are you kidding me, Abs? Chuck and Cosmo are off on some sort of ‘Daddy and Me’ weekend, and I was kind of bored being alone. You’re still my best friend, even if we’re 220 miles apart.” Susan offered a quick hug, and Abby obliged. “What am I going to do, Susan? How is this fair to the baby? Never knowing his father? I know what that’s like, and I don’t know if I can bring myself to do that to another person.” “It doesn’t have to be that way, Abby. I’m sure Luka is a wreck right now, wondering if you’re okay, wondering where you are,” Susan sighed. She hated to see her best friend like this, and had half a mind to call Luka now and tell him to get his ass over there.

I have a feeling that this is going to get me into MAJOR trouble, but I PROMISE that it WILL work out in the end. So bear with me here, okay. Those who continue to read will be rewarded later on...
Luka awoke the next day with one hell of a headache, and when he saw the empty bottles on the living room floor, he remembered why. He was in the kitchen slowly preparing a pot of strong black coffee when the door to his apartment opened. “It’s almost noon, you know,” Sam said as she walked in the door. “Your shift started like four hours ago and when you didn’t pick up the phone, Weaver sent me to check on you.” Luka was confused, and wasn’t sure if he was hallucinating. “How did you get in?” Sam held up a key. “It was sitting on your mat. I figured it was worth a shot.” Luka was too hung over to think about why there had been a key on his doormat, and went back to his coffee. “She left, Sam,” he said simply. “Who left?” Sam was genuinely confused. She couldn’t think of anyone both of them knew. “Abby. She’s gone. She was pregnant, and she had a termination, and she left.” “Wow.” Sam sat on the couch, trying to take in all of the information thrust upon her. She immediately saw at least a half a dozen empty beer bottles littering the floor of the living room, and made a move to clean them up. As Sam took them to the kitchen, she turned to look at Luka. He drew closer to her, and their eyes met. Quickly, Luka bent down and pulled Sam into a passionate kiss. The bottles fell to the floor, all but one shattering as they hit the ground.
