heres a pretty long update:
Luka was about to open the door to the lounge when he heard Abby yelling at someone. He figured it was Richard..and decided to give her a minute. He waited outside, and Abby continued to scream at Richard over the phone. She was pacing back and forth, and could not believe Richard. What kind of father was he?
"Look...its your weekend!!! hes your son Richard!" She listened..."Yeah..yeah..I know..you have your damn buisness...which just means you will be screwing the whore all weekend! or are you cheating on that whore with another whore!?"
"Abby thats enough! I just can't take him this weekend ok!"
"Don't give me that bullshit! You can't take him any weekend! and you know what! you owe me 2 child support checks..and if I don't get them by monday..."
"You'll get them ok?!"
"No Richard! its not ok! nothing is ok! I am so sick of you..not being there for Charley..when I told you I wanted a divorce..you said you didn't want that..because you wanted to be in Charley's life! well..your not in his life Richard!"
"Abby...calm down...I'm with him at the zoo aren't I? I'll take him next weekend!"
"Well..I NEED you THIS weekend! I need to go out of town! for some freaking medical seminar and this stupid course..and all the residents have to go!"
"I'm sorry..I can't.."
"Yes you can! Richard come on! your his father..your his f***ing father!"
"I know."
"No..I really don't think you do...and I don't think you give a shit about him!"
"I love him Abby!"
"Then act like it!" She hung up and closed her cell. Luka decided he would wait another minute..so she wouldn't think he was standing at the door the whole time...When he finally walked in Abby was sitting on the couch, with her head in her hands. He walked to his locker and opened it. When Abby heard the him close his locker she looked up and wiped her eyes.
"Hey..Abby, are you ok?"
"Yeah....." She said standing up, and clearing her throat. Luka looked at her and made a face, saying yeah, ok. She rolled her eyes and looked at him.
"No...I'm not ok....Kerry is making all the residents go to some god forsaken Seminar and take some medical course....and Richard is being a dick head..he won't take Charley this weekend...like every other weekend...so I can't go..and Kerry is going to be pissed at me...and I just....I don't know.....Richard can have him for one afternoon..but if its for a weekend...he just can't do it....like right now..him and Charley are at the Zoo." She said looking to the floor.
"I could watch Charley for the weekend." Luka said walking toward Abby. She heard that and looked up. "You would do that?"
"Yeah! sure..hes a great kid...we'll have fun."
"I don't know...I don't want to dump my kid on you.."
"Hey..you're not dumping him on me...I am offering to take care of him Abby."
"Ok..thank you so much Luka! how much do you want?"
"What do you mean?"
"Money..how much do you want?"
"I don't want any."
"Luka..."
"Abby..no..I don't want your money..I mean, you did buy me dinner last week."
"Ok..Fine...Richard should be here with Charley in like half an hour...and I'm leaving tomorrow morning...so, maybe he could stay at your place tonight?"
"Yeah, thats fine...does he like pizza?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Thats what we will have for dinner."
"Is that all you ever eat?"
"Pretty much..anything take out...or that can go in the microwave..I don't cook."
"You don't?!"
"No.."
"Then you will come over tonight..and I'll make you dinner..and then you can just take him home with you..I want my son to have one more home cooked meal...since it will be last until Monday." Abby said laughing at him.
"You cook?"
"Yeah....I actually..took Culinary classes all through high school..and then after I graduated, I went to a college of the Culinary Arts..."
"How did you end up being a doctor?"
"Well..2 years later, I decided I wanted to be a doctor...so I dropped out..and went to med school."
"What kind of cooking do you do?"
"Anything really."
"Ok..so you're working?"
"Yup...I get off at 5."
"Me too."
"Good..so you can just come home with Charley and me..I'll make dinner...and then you can take him home."
"Sounds good."
"Thank you so much again..for watching him."
"No problem."
Luka left the lounge and Abby went to her locker and opened it, grabbing her lab coat and stethoscope. She put the coat on and place her phone in the pocket. As she walked out of the lounge she smiled to herself. Luka was a great guy...They had always been friends, but ever since Luka came out to dinner with her and Charley they become so much closer. He was always there for them. And Abby could not believe he offered to take Charley for the whole weekend...why couldn't his own father be like that. Luka loved Charley, and Abby loved watching them together. She had never seen her son bond with someone so fast.
Richard walked through the ER followed by Charley holding a big stuffed lion. Luka saw them and got Abby from an exam room. She walked out and when Charley saw her he dropped his lion and ran into her arms. "Hi sweetie, did you have fun with daddy?"
"Yeah..we saw..elephants! they were big mommy!"
"I bet..what did you like the most?"
"Lions...see, Daddy got me a lion."
"Thats nice bud...well, mommy has to go away this weekend...so..how would you to stay with Luka?"
"yeah! Luka's fun!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah! but I will miss you mommy!"
"I'll miss you too!"
"Abby could I talk to you for a second?" Richard asked looking at Luka. "Yeah, sure." She put Charley down and he picked up his lion and started showing it to Luka. Abby walked over to Richard and he pulled her by the arm around the corner and into a small room.
"Who the hell is he?"
"Luka..hes going to watch Charley this weekend..because you were too busy."
"A male babysitter? Is he gay?"
"Oh shut up Richard..Hes not gay!"
"Are you sleeping with him?"
"No."
"Oh, Really?"
"Yes really..and even if I was...why would you care..you sleep with every slut in the city..." She turned and walked out of the room. Richard followed her said goodbye to Charley, and left.
"I have to get him upstairs."
"Ok...I'll see you later Charley."
"Bye Luka."
