Very, very emotional. I love that, when Luka is breaking down and sobbing, Abby is the strong one, even though that's so hard for her. Great lines, Larue, so authentic!

I did a quick run through the ER and rapidly composed a revised work schedule for Frank to give the interns and residents. Pratt and Ray were handling things well for me. The police had completed their investigation on the scene and the ER was open again for walk ins. Some of the broken glass had already been replaced and bullet holes were plastered over and ready for paint. There was still no word on Sam’s whereabouts.....or Alex’s. I took a quick shower in the call room and changed into a set of clean scrubs before heading back upstairs.
Janet Coburn was in the room examining Abby when I entered. They both looked up and Janet smiled as she replaced the wound dressing on Abby’s abdomen and pulled the sheets over her again.
“Everything looks good,” she said as she patted Abby’s knee. Abby nodded and reached up to wipe her eyes before looking at me.
“I’ll come again after I do rounds this afternoon,” she said squeezing my arm as she passed. I nodded and moved to Abby’s bed side.
“You didn’t get much sleep, did you?” I asked. She shook her head. “Do you want me to leave you alone?” She hesitated a moment and then shook her head.
“Can we get out of here, maybe? Go somewhere else for a little while?” I thought for a moment and then nodded. I undid the catheter bag again and placed it in her lap. I carefully lifted her from the bed and settled her in the wheelchair. I tucked the sheet around her.
“I think I’ll go home tonight and get some of your things for you,” I said. ‘Would you like to have your own robe?” She nodded and tugged on her lip with her teeth as I pushed the wheelchair out of her room into the hall. I hurried her to the elevator and pushed the buttons for the 15th floor.....and the solarium. She sat back in the chair and relaxed as I pushed her toward the glass wall of the solarium where the sun was flooding into the warm room. “This is nice,” she sighed as she drank in the smells of the flowers and musky plants around us. She relaxed, closed her eyes and lifted her face up in the sun light. I sat on the bench in front of her and just watched her. Her dark hair framed her face and spilled over her shoulders. Her lashes lay like lace on her cheeks. Her neck was stretched as her chin reached for the sun. The hospital gown was slipping over her shoulder. She opened one eye and looked at me. The she opened both and smiled.
“Kinda hard to enjoy this when someone is staring at me,” she laughed.
“Sorry,” I said with a smile. “But you’re beautiful.” She laughed. It was that crazy, loud, disbelieving chuckle of her’s. Her smile faded slowly as her eyes met mine. I reached over and picked up one of her hands.
“Abby.....I....uh,” I started. She stopped me as she put both of her hands over mine.
“I know, Luka,” she said quietly...finally. “I love you, too. I really do. I want us to be a family.....you and me and the baby....together.”
“Then let’s....” She put her fingers to my lips to stop me. She shook her head very slowly.
“I don’t need a white dress or a ring to be able to say that,” she said. “I don’t want those things right now. Not yet. Can you understand that?”
After a long, thoughtful moment I nodded slowly. I didn’t understand. I really wanted to but I didn’t. I wanted her. I wanted her in my life forever. For better or for worse. What we had together didn’t just come along every day. Didn’t she realize that? But this was Abby. Some things were just so much harder for her. Never easy. I sighed.
“Okay,” I said quietly. “Hearing you say that you love me is good enough.......for now.” I grimaced in playful disappointment and she reached up to caress my cheek. I leaned forward and kissed her gently. She leaned in and deepened the kiss. We both laughed softly as our lips parted and our foreheads remained pressed together.
“Wanna go see Joe before I take you back to your room?” She nodded with a smile and I kissed her again before I stood up to wheel her back to the elevators and the OB floor.
I patted her shoulder as I wheeled her into the NICU entry area. I washed her hands and then mine and slipped new gowns over her and then me. I wheeled her chair around the corner and stopped short as I saw someone sitting in the rocker by Joe’s incubator. Someone rocking away and talking to my son. Abby stared as well and then turned stricken eyes upward to mine.
Maggie.
“Why is she here?” Abby accused quietly. “Did you tell her to come?”
“No...” I said firmly. “She’s your mother, Abby. I just called to let her know what was happening.” Maggie saw us and stood up. She smiled broadly and hurried toward us.
“Oh, Abby...he’s so beautiful...” she said as she pressed a kiss to Abby’s cheek and reached up to hug me. “He’s a little small but the nurses all say that he is doing just as well, if not better, than any of the others in here.” I could feel Abby’s ire building and I placed a hand on her shoulder as I pushed her toward Joe’s station.
“He’ll be off that old ventilator in no time.....” Maggie’s voice faded as Abby was silent. I rolled her up to the incubator and she sighed as she took in the sight of our tiny son, face swathed in a blindfold over his eyes, tubes down his throat, from his umbilical cord, a PIC line, monitor attachments on his chest and his feet.... She reached a hand in and gently caressed his rhythmically heaving chest and then the dark fuzz covering his tiny head. Her other hand clenched my snugly. Tears filled her eyes and threatened to spill down her cheeks.
“I’m going to take you back to your room,” I said decisively. Abby shook her head.
“Not just yet,” she sighed. She blinked back the tears and looked from me to Maggie, on the other side of the incubator.
“Aww...honey,” Maggie said as she circled the incubator to Abby’s other side. “He’s going to be okay...I just know it.” Abby stiffened as Maggie hugged her but her grip tightened on my hand.
