Thanks for all the comments/feedback!! Appriciate all opinions!! Here's another chapter. Chapter 50 By the following Monday Abby is ready to go back to work. She starts picking out her clothes for the day while Luka is in the shower. “What are you doing?” Luka asks walking into the bedroom wearing a towel and drying his hair. “Getting ready for work.” Abby replies pulling on a pair of jeans. “You’re not going to work.” “Yes I am.” Luka watches Abby get dressed for a few minutes before a grin comes across his face. He strides across the room, picks Abby up and deposits her on her back in the middle of the bed. He straddles her hips, effectively pinning her down, as he leans over and grabs a pillow. He pulls the case off of it and starts tearing it into strips. “What are you doing?” Abby yells watching the pillowcase she picked out being torn up. “Tying you to the bed.” Luka answers dismissively. “No you’re not!” “Yes I am.” With those words Luka grabs Abby’s wrists and ties them to the bed posts right above the mattress so that her wrists don’t get strained. He smiles as he leans back over her and starts to kiss her. “Luka what are you doing? We have work.” “No I have work. You have the day all to yourself to bake or do whatever else you women do in your free time.” He says as his lips latch onto her neck. A little over an hour later Luka comes out of the bedroom smiling as he carries the two strips of the pillowcase in his hand. He throws them into the trash as he makes coffee. A few minutes later Abby comes out of the bedroom on her crutches in shorts and a t-shirt. Luka sets her coffee on the table and takes the seat next to her. “Just one more day is all I ask. Tomorrow after your therapy we’ll see what the doctor says and if she okay’s it, then I’ll be the first one to welcome you back. I just want to be sure you’re okay.” “Fine. One day.” Abby agrees tilting her head up to receive Luka’s goodbye kiss. “You better be here when I get back or I will seriously tie you to the bed!” Luka yells as he walks out the door. Abby just laughs as she grabs a book and heads over to the couch.

Chapter 51 Much to Luka’s and Weaver’s dismay Abby is back at work. Weaver has forced her to do desk duty, but at least Abby isn’t spending her days going crazy in Luka’s apartment trying to find things to do while he’s at work. The day progresses slowly as Abby edits patient’s files in an attempt to give her mind something stimulating to do. Luka drops by every twenty minutes or so to check up on her. After the third time Abby began to time the visit. She casually checks her watch and smiles knowing that Luka will be showing up in a minute. She puts her files aside and pushes her chair back. She calmly sits down on the floor and bends her leg underneath herself so it looks like it couldn’t hold her when she stood up. She pinches her cheeks for colour and tries to think of something sad. A minute later Luka turns the corner smiling to check on Abby. He frowns when he doesn’t see her at the desk. Hearing a soft sniffling he rushes towards the desk and sees his girlfriend crumpled on the ground softly crying. “Abby.” He asks putting an arm around her. He rocks her slowly and begins to whisper to her. Then he stops. ‘No she isn’t.’ Luka backs away from Abby just a bit and sees her shoulders lightly shaking. He reaches out and pulls his girlfriend’s hands from her face to reveal a laughing Abby. “Oh you think you’re so funny now. Fine I get it. You’re okay, stop checking up on you. Just remember this attention that you’re getting from me because it’ll never happen again. I have used a lifetime’s worth of attention for anyone on you these last few weeks.” Abby just laughs harder knowing she will always be the center of his attention and loving every minute of it. “I am now useless to mankind. I will go back to thinking of myself as a butcher and my patients as slabs of meat all because of you. Though ironically it is because of you that they were patients in the first place.” “Luka?” “Yea?” “You still called them patient’s. I hate to tell you, but you’re stuck. They will now always be patients to you.” “Whatever, anyway you get my point.” “You had a point?” “I’m sure I did. I just never got to it.” “Apparently.” Luka leans down and gives her a deep kiss. “Are you sure that wasn’t your point?” Abby asks smiling up at him. “If it wasn’t it is now.” He replies giving her another kiss on her temple before walking away. After Abby’s declaration of independence Luka checks on her less often and only quickly peeks around the corner. Abby knows that he’s still checking up on her, but considering he knows to keep his distance she decides not to torment him about it.

Chapter 52 Around one o’clock Luka and Abby head down to the cafeteria together to buy some lunch. Luka carries the tray and doggedly follows Abby to the salad bar. “I seem to remember having a conversation about you and salads months ago. It had something to do with eating more than salad. I also believe that said conversation had witnesses.” “Witnesses who will conveniently forget you said anything other than you love me eating salads. And will call you an ass for pressuring me to stay thin in order to please you” Luka grumbles behind her knowing she’s right and hating it. He watches Abby fill a plate with lettuce and holds it while she goes down the line adding toppings. Luka leads her to the deli and orders two sandwiches. Abby laughs when Luka orders her favourite and knows that she won’t be eating too much of her salad. Luka follows Abby to a table towards the back of the room and sets the tray down passing out the food. He sticks her salad in between the two of them and steals a bite of it just to annoy her. A few minutes later Susan, Carter and Neela arrive carrying their trays. “So I have this guy and he’s wacko I mean yesterday he thought I was his mother! He started screaming and cursing at me. Then today I walk in and he tries to kiss me! I refuse to go back in there without some kind of protection.” Carter says when he sits down. “Well Carter I always knew you were the mothering type.” Luka teases. “We should send the spawn in there, maybe the guy will think he’s his blow up doll.” Neela replies. “Neela! That’s so gross!” Abby cries horrified. “What? I could tell you about the guy with the tin soldiers up his butt, but I figured I’d be polite since we’re eating.” “When are you ever polite?” Neela just smiles. “Oh it’s on Kovac. It’s on.” Abby looks around the table confused. “I swear you guys were somewhat civil to each other yesterday. What happened?” “Are you feeling better Abby?” Neela asks. “Yes.” Abby answers slowly. “That’s why. I no longer feel any need to be nice to the spawn. Now it’s time to make up for all the lost insults.” Luka nods his head in agreement. “She’s just jealous because I haven’t checked out her panties in months.” “In your dreams evil spawn!” Neela hisses back at him eerily similar to the last time Luka commented on her panties. The rest of the table laughs at their antics as the barbs pass back and forth throughout lunch. The hour goes by far too quickly and the interns start to gather their trash up. Luka and Abby lag behind the others as they make their way back upstairs. “Are you scrubbing in on anything today?” Abby asks Luka as they wait for the elevator. “I need the test results back for the abdominal patient and if they’re okay, she’ll go into surgery this afternoon. I don’t know if I’m scrubbing in or not.” “Dubenko hasn’t said?” Luka hesitates and watches the elevator. “Luka you better not be avoiding scrubbing in because you think you need to take care of me. I’m fine. I can hang around here or catch a ride with Susan and Carter. You can come by afterwards and then we’ll go home.” “I was going to take you to Ike’s tonight after we get off. Joe’s been asking to see you, but it’s been so busy lately and I wanted to wait until you were feeling better.” “Then I’ll wait. There’s always something to do around here. If you can scrub in then you scrub in. Don’t worry about it.”

Chapter 53 Eight hours later Luka and Abby leave the hospital. Luka did scrub in on the surgery with Abby up in the pit watching it. She can’t wait until she can get back to work fully. They walk side by side on their way to Ike’s. “Luka!” Joe calls when he spots Luka holding open the door for Abby. Joe gestures to the table closest to the bar and after Abby is settled Luka puts her crutches against the wall behind her. Joe comes over and greets Abby with a hug before joining the couple at the table. “It’s good to see the two of you here. Ever since you went and stole Luka I haven’t had anyone to talk to.” He tells Abby. “Sorry Joe.” “Nope. I don’t like sharing.” Luka sits back in his chair and laughs proud that his girlfriend’s possessiveness matches his. “At least he’s not hanging around all the time running up a tab that we both know will never be fully paid off.” “Good point.” Joe laughs. “So what can I get for you guys tonight?” “Nothing for me. Too many medications right now.” Abby declines. Feeling for his girlfriend Luka also abstains for alcohol. “I’ll just get a soda. You want anything to eat babe?” “Sure.” “Don’t worry you guys; I’ll make sure you’re taken care of.” Joe says walking back to the bar. Twenty minutes later he’s back with a large sampler of all the appetizers the bar offers. “Dig in!” He invites laying it on the table. “It’s not busy. Hang out with us.” Luka invites. Joe agrees and sits back down at the table. “So how are things going?” Luka and Abby look at each other. “They’re good. It takes so much longer to get anything done, but it’s better than what it was.” Abby answers. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen Luka so lost as he was that night. You gave everyone a scare.” Abby smiles sadly at Luka. “You’ve just got to tell her about my weakest moment. Ruins the whole macho male thing I have going.” “What macho male thing? I seem to remember congratulating Carter for beating you up.” “He’s got you there Luka.” “Hey! You should be defending me and supporting me and all that other stuff that girlfriends are supposed to do!” “Not tonight, I’m on a break.” The two stayed at Ike’s until closing and after Luka helped Joe clean up for the night they made their way home.

Chapter 54 At the end of the week Abby gets her wish. She’s ditched the crutches and only has the cane with her to put Luka’s mind at ease. She’s off all of her medications and her cast has been exchanged with a walking cast until her leg finishes healing. Weaver has agreed to let her do rounds, but only gives her one patient until she gets a little stronger. The day goes by so quickly. Abby feels as if a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders. She’s sitting on a stretcher in the hall filling in a patient’s file when Luka comes to find her to tell her it’s time to go home. Abby looks up at the clock and shakes her head to clear it. “Already? I feel like I just got here.” “Sorry babe, we’ve been here all day. I for one am exhausted and since I’ve gotten used to sleeping with you at my side I‘m going to be forceful and take you home. And if forceful doesn’t work then I will beg, because I have no shame when it comes to you and will do anything to have you.” Abby laughs as she cautiously gets off the stretcher and heads over to the locker-room to gather up her stuff. When she and Luka get back to his apartment he sends her to the shower to wash off and get changed into comfortable clothes. While Abby’s in the bathroom, Luka rushes around the kitchen trying to gather up everything he needs. When Abby returns from the bathroom she walks into the kitchen to find Luka boiling pasta and stirring spaghetti sauce. “Am I in the right apartment?” She asks coming up behind him wrapping her arms around his waist. “Yes, you’re in the right place. Now sit down and get comfortable because dinner will be ready in ten minutes.” Abby smiles and sits down at the romantically set table. Her smile widens as she takes in the rose petals strewn on the table, the lit candles and the wine glasses. Ten minutes later Luka has joined her at the table and they hold hands as Abby takes her first bite of his homemade spaghetti sauce. “Luka this is fantastic! Where did you get the recipe?” “My mom. She used to make this on the holidays and I remember always being happy when we got to eat it. It seemed appropriate considering when I’m with you I’m happier then I’ve ever imagined I could be.” “I love you.” Abby says leaning forward to kiss him. “I love you too.” He returns.
