Chapter 33 After she’s gone Luka puts the box back in his pocket stands up and grabs the clothes Joe bought. He quickly gets changed and walks around Abby’s bed. He checks to make sure no tubes are coming out of her right side that could be pulled before taking down the rail and crawling into bed next to her. Being careful of her ribs he places her hand on her stomach before intertwining his fingers with hers. Albright watches this from the doorway with a sad look on her face. She turns and goes to the nurse’s station across the hall to get some work done, but still be close by if she is needed. About an hour later she spots Susan, Carter, and Neela making their way towards Abby’s room. “Hey! Stop right there!” She calls gesturing for the interns to come to her. All three look towards Abby’s room before going over to her. “Did something happen? Is that why you’re not letting us go in?” Carter asks worriedly. “No nothing changed. Just stay out for a few hours. Let them get some sleep.” She turns to see Romano making his way over to Abby’s room. He stops in the doorway and smiles slightly. He looks to see Albright bearing down on him. “I’m just checking her vitals. I’ll be really quick and quiet.” She nods and the interns crowd the doorway and see Luka curled up in the bed with Abby their hands intertwined. Normally Carter or Neela would make some kind of comment, but the picture before them is just too sad to say anything. Romano gets ready to leave the room causing them to scatter from the doorway. “Everything is stable. Is she doesn’t wake up today we’ll take her down for some brain scans to see if there is any damage.” Albright looks at the clock and sighs. “Okay you three you know I don’t want to do this but we’re two people short today. Get cleaned up and ready to go. Susan I want you to take Abby’s patients in sutures 1 and 2. Neela take Abby’s patient in curtain area 3 and Luka’s patients in curtain area 1. Carter take Luka’s patient in sutures 3 and curtain area 2.” She says handing them files. “I’ll try to pull some other interns to help, but until I can I need you to cover the slack.”

Again this will probably be one of my last updates for a few days!! Going into hospital for open heart surgery tomorrow, but I'll try update one last time before I go in!! Thanks for all the comments guys!! Good or bad all comments are welcome!! Chapter 34 A few hours later Susan finally has a chance to go and check on Abby. When she walks in the room she sees Luka has changed and returned to his chair next to Abby’s bed holding her hand. “How is she?” “Her eyes fluttered about an hour ago, but she didn’t wake up. Dubenko said it was a good sign that she might be waking up.” “That’s good.” Susan says taking the chair on the other side of Abby’s bed. “The cops came a little while ago to get my statement. Said they’re holding the guy without bail right now because he has a history of DWI.” Luka tells her. “Umm Luka. I don’t want to get off topic, but do you know how close Abby and her mother are?” “Closer then they used to be. Abby talks to her every so often, but doesn’t really want much to do with her. Why?” “She was listed as Abby’s emergency contact. We called her last night after the accident. She should be coming in sometime later today.” Luka just closes his eyes. “Tell me when she gets here and don’t let her in until I talk to her.” Susan agrees quietly. “I have to get back to work. I’ll be by again in a few hours.” “Thanks.” Luka whispers. “You’re welcome.” Susan replies edging out of the room. Susan sees Neela who was just going to stop in to see Abby coming her way. “How are they?” Neela asks stopping in front of Susan. “He’s talking and he said that Abby’s eyes fluttered and that Dubenko said it was a good sign. So hopefully she’ll be waking up soon.” Neela nods in agreement. Around two o’clock Albright comes in carrying a tray with a couple of sandwiches and drinks. She sets it down on the table and hands a sandwich to Luka. “Eat. Last thing she needs is you falling apart.” Luka thanks her for the sandwich and takes a small bite. “Anything since this morning?”

Last one for a few days!! Chapter 35 “Not yet.” A few minutes later the two look up to see Carter entering the room with a tray and a few sandwiches. He smiles sheepishly as he notices the sandwich already in Luka’s hand. He looks over at Albright. “Great minds huh?” Carter says putting the tray down. Luka tries to think of something sarcastic to say but just doesn’t have the heart. “Thanks Carter. Keep them around though; Joe just called to say he’s on his way before the happy hour crowd comes in.” Luka says. Ten minutes later the three are joined by Joe, Susan and Neela. An unusual silence fills the room. Uncomfortable with the quiet in a room filled with so many people Luka struggles to think of something to say. He rubs his fingers over Abby’s hand. “I just wanted to say thanks. For everything you guys have done and are doing. I should have said it last night but…” “Why did you have to say something nice?” Neela returns. “Now I feel obligated to be nice to you until she gets better. But just wait Kovac. After she’s back to normal, you’re back to the evil spawn.” Luka smiles slightly and looks at Neela. “I do have a reputation that needs to be kept. Don’t worry Neela, when this blows over. I’ll think of something good.” “Dr. Lewis?” A nurse asks entering the room. “There is a woman in the hall who says she’s Dr. Lockhart’s mother. You said you wanted to be informed when she got here?” “Thank you. I’ll be right out.” Susan tells her. She looks at Luka. “What do you want to do?” “I’ll talk to her. Can someone stay with Abby?” Everyone nods as Luka gives a quick kiss to Abby’s hand before walking out into the hall to meet her mother. “Mrs. Lockhart?” He asks spotting a blonde woman sitting in a chair. “No, it’s Wyzcenski.” “I’m sorry. I’m Luka Kovac.” “Abby’s Luka?” “Yes.” “What happened? How is she?” Luka can’t help but notice the woman sways a little when speaking or miss the smell of alcohol. Considering the cause of Abby’s accident Luka is not enjoying this first impression of her mother. “She was hit by a drunk driver on her way to the parking lot. She’s stable but in serious condition.” “Can I see her?” Luka hesitates afraid of how his actions can affect Abby. “Just for a few minutes. It’s for her safety. If you give me a number where I can reach you I can call you if her condition changes.” Ms. Wyzcenski nods and writes down her cell phone number and gives it to Luka who tells her where the closest hotel is and promises to have someone make a reservation for her. Then he leads her into Abby’s room. When the interns see Ms. Wyzcenski they all stand up and greet her and express their condolences. They leave the room to give Ms. Wyzcenski time with her daughter. Luka pauses right outside the doorway so he can keep an eye on things inside. He glances at the doorway and then pulls out his cellphone to make reservations for Ms. Wyzcenski at the nearby hotel. He wants her close enough so that Abby can see her if she wants, but not staying at his place or Susan’s in case Abby does not want to see her.

Hey!! Thanks for the kind words everybody. Turns out I can get onto the internet in the hospital!! So my dad brought me in my laptop today! Woohoo!! Which means I can update before and after my surgery (once I'v recovered). Surgery is set for the end of the week, they took me in now to run some tests and stuff before it!! Thanks again!! Suz!!xoxo Chapter 36 The interns head back to work and Albright settles herself down at the nurse’s station. After an hour Ms. Wyzcenski comes out of Abby’s room and Luka tells her, her room number. Albright offers to take Ms. Wyzcenski to get a cab with the promise that she will call if anything changes. Happy that the room is empty again Luka returns to his seat next to Abby. He contemplates taking a quick nap, but decides against it for fear of her waking up while he’s sleeping. So instead he leans forward and talks to her. When he runs out of things to say Luka lays his head down next to Abby’s hip. He doesn’t know how long he sat there before he hears a soft voice. “Did someone die or something?” Luka’s head jerks up to Abby’s face, but her eyes are closed. For a second he thinks he just imagines it and then sees her eyelids flutter. “Abby?” he calls out softly and watches in amazement as her eyes slowly open back up. A huge smile crosses his face as he jumps to his feet. “Baby stay with me! I just need to tell the nurse! Stay awake, please baby stay awake!” Luka kisses Abby’s lips softly before running out into the hall yelling for the nurse. “She’s awake!” He yells when he sees one. Albright jumps up from her seat at the nurse’s station to follow Luka back into Abby’s room. The nurse follows right behind her. “Get Romano.” Albright tells her. Albright stands on the other side of Abby’s bed as Luka calls softly to her. “Abby. Albright’s here. Open you eyes for me.” Abby forces her eyes open a little and sees Luka standing next to her. “What happened?” “What is the last thing you remember?” Luka asks her sitting on the edge of her bed. “Making plans for dinner.” Abby replies softly. “There was a car. He was speeding and didn’t have any lights on. I didn’t see him until it was too late.” Abby squeezed Luka’s hand. “It’s not your fault. How long was I out?” “Just for the night. We were hoping you would wake up today. It’s a good sign.” Albright interjects. She looks up at the commotion in the doorway. Romano has just arrived with Susan, Carter and Neela right behind him. Albright walks to the doorway and blocks the interns from getting in. “Stay outside for now. Let her get checked over then you all can go in.” Albright backs into the room and closes the door behind her. Romano is leaning over Abby checking her pupils and asking her questions to test her memory. Next he pokes her arms and hands asking if she can feel that. Then he moves the sheet over and pokes her legs. “No.” Abby whispers. “What?” Luka asks leaning over her. “I can’t feel that.” She whispers

Wow. I was happy that Abby was awake; it was like any other (good ) fanfic, until I read the end...It's very different from what I read usually about Abby/Luka being injured. I'm really, really eager to see how it will go from now on. Well done, karma for you!

Chapter 37 Romano hears her and tries another spot on her leg. Nothing. Abby fights to hold back tears as she realizes she can’t feel her legs. Luka looks worriedly at Romano as Albright steps forward to hold Abby’s hand. “It may just be temporary. The body’s way of giving you time to heal. I want to run some tests to make sure there is not blood accumulating on your brain and to check you spinal cord. You were treated very quickly Abby, this can just be temporary.” He leaves the room to go make arrangements for the tests. When he steps out into the hall he is bombarded by the interns. “How is she?” Comes instantly out of three mouths. Romano looks sadly at all of them. “I need to run some tests.” “Why?” Carter asks. “It’s not my place.” Romano answers walking down to the phone to start making arrangements. Albright hears the knock at the door and turns to look at Abby and Luka. Luka has carefully climbed into bed with Abby and is holding her while she cries. Albright lets go of Abby’s hand and backs out of the room. She looks at the interns. “What happened?” Susan asks. Albright hesitates, part of her wanting to protect her patient’s privacy and the other warring with being truthful to the Interns about their friend. “She’s lost feeling in her legs. Romano thinks it may be temporary, but wants to run some tests. She needs time to cope with that. Go do your rounds and then come back.” The subdued interns head back to the surgical floor as Albright walks back into Abby’s room. The scene in front of her breaks her heart as she watches Luka cradle the distraught woman. He’s whispering in her ear to calm her down but after such a traumatic event Abby just needs to release. Albright holds her hand and sits silently in the chair next to her bed and waits patiently for the tears to subside. The dam of tears slowly trickles down to a few sniffles as Abby buries her head into Luka’s chest. “You’ll be fine.” He whispers. “What if I never walk again?” “You will. Romano’s right the doctors took great care of you and you were in surgery right away. He just wants to make sure everything is okay physically, and then we’ll just have to wait for your body to heal.” Abby nods and grimaces as it causes the shunt to pull. Luka lays her back down in bed so that she is no longer pulling on any wires. “How long does this have to stay in?” She asks placing a hand up to her temple. “A day or two more I’d say. I’ll know for sure after the test.” Romano states walking into the room. “Let’s get you upstairs and checked out okay?” Abby nods as nurses enter the room with another stretcher and begin to set things up to move Abby. “I’ll be here when you get back.” Luka tells her as they wheel her away. Albright who is following Abby stops. “Where are you going Kovac?” “Flowers, she needs flowers.” He says simply before grabbing a coat and heading out to the stairs to go find a florist shop.
