Thank you!! Chapter 11 "Okay, I never really wanted to tell you girls about this until you were at the right age, because, well, it's just something I didn't really want to tell you about when you were younger. I don't want to scare you guys, but I am an alcoholic. It doesn't mean that I still drink alcohol like crazy though, it just means that at one point in my life, I did." "Wait, so, you drank beer, a lot and stuff like that?" Dani said. "And how long ago was this?" Bella added. "Well, I was married before I married your father. His name was Richard and he was just an ass. I was only married to him for about a year, then I divorced him." Dani gave Abby a concerned look. "Why did you get a divorce?" Abby couldn't believe she was telling them this. She never even told Joe most of this. Joe knew she had another husband before named Richard, but she never told him all the details. "Okay guys, let me finish what I was saying. I started drinking because of him. He drank all the time, he would force me to drink with him. This was long before you guys were born though. I divorced him 7 years before Joe was born. I couldn't take it anymore. He would sometimes even hit me, and do things to me that a good husband should never do." Dani and Bella had little tears streaming down their face. They couldn't picture someone hitting their mom. "What kind of things did he do?" Abby had this nervous feeling go through her body. She never talked to them about sex, and she wasn't about ready to do it right now. She looked over at the clock, 9. "Okay, well, I got to get ready for work, why don't we finish this conversation later on." She walked into the kitchen and started to make breakfast. Dani and Bella just shrugged and turned the TV back on and watched "Morning wakeup call" on VH1. As Abby was making breakfast, she thought to herself, why couldn't she ever talk to Joe like that? Joe was always the one that whenever she would want to just sit down and talk to him, he wouldn't be able to sit still. He would either be walking around the room as Abby was talking to him, or be throwing a tennis ball up in the air while she was talking. Wow....I really am blessed with the 2 best girls ever.

Okay girls, now for some drama. Chapter 12 Luka and Abby are driving to work together. They are absolutely silent. The whole ride they were silent. Luka pulled into the parking garage, and as soon as he turns the car off, Abby begins to talk. "Um, I told the girls about Richard." Luka looked back at her. "Why? I thought you were only going to tell them about AA meetings and why you know so much about them." I did. It's just, the conversation kind of branched off to that. Then I didn't really even talk to them about what I wanted to because they started to ask me questions, like, what kind of things Richard did to me, and I really didn't want to get into that talk this morning." Luka took the key out of the ignition. "So when are you going to talk to them about it? Their getting to that age, you probably should soon." Abby sighed. "Yeah I know, maybe tonight, or over the weekend." Luka and Abby both got out of the car and started walking towards the ER. Luka and Abby walked out the the lounge and grabbed a couple charts. "Hey Lockhart!" Dr. Clemente said to Abby. "Morris needs your help in trauma 1. Some kids got in a car accident." Abby puts the chart back down that she was looking at and walks away towards trauma 1. When she walks in, she see's Morris and Haleh working on a boy, about Joe's age with a head wound. At first, she thought it was Joe, the kid on the table dressed just like him. Abby put on gloves and started examining the kid. "So your names Justin?" Abby said to him. "Yeah." "Do you even have your drivers license? You look very young." Justin started to give Abby attitude. The same kind of attitude Joe gives her. "Psssshhh yeah. I got it 2 weeks ago. Me and Joe were just driving and we ended up hitting another car because Joe was trying to steer for me because he thought I was too drunk." Abby was writing somethings down on his chart when something hit her. "So, you were drinking and driving?" "Yeah." "And, how old is Joe?" Abby asked curiously. "I don't know, I think 15. I just met him a couple weeks ago." Abby stopped writing things down to pay more attention to Justin. "What's Joe's last name?" She had a feeling where this was going. "I don't know! God what's up with all the stupid questions!" Abby gave him a look, a look that she knew he would be scared of. "Ugh god, I think it starts with a K." A sudden feeling hit Abby. A feeling that scared the hell out of her. "Kovac?" Justin tried to sit up, but he couldn't. "Yeah, that's it." Abby and Haleh exchanged glances. "They said they took the other victim to Mercy, they didn't say anything about the condition." Haleh said. Abby immediately ran out of the trauma room. She couldn't find Luka, she didn't care though. She had to find her son. Abby ran in and out of the lounge so fast. As she ran past the admit desk, Frank asked her where she was going. "Mercy. Tell Luka to call me as soon as you see him!" Abby ran out of the bay with tears streaming down her face. Her only fear was to get to Mercy and find her son dead. All the way to the parking garage she prayed and prayed, and all the way to Mercy she prayed. No matter how much Joe has been getting on her nerves lately, right now she just wanted to be with him. Sorry, kind of a cliffhanger. I'll update again later.

Thanks! Chapter 13 Dani was making tuna sandwiches for lunch for her and Bella. Out of the both of them, she was the cook. She took after her dad's side with that. Everything Bella made, turned out horrible. The only thing that she was sure not to mess up was making a pop tart. She took after Abby with that. The phone started to ring. "Bella!! Could you get the phone? I'm kinda busy here!" Bella was walking down the stairs. She was upstairs making their beds. That was one thing that they always hated to do, and Abby would yell at them for it, so they figured if they made their beds, Abby wouldn't have so much to flip out about when she got home. Bella came into the kitchen and answered the phone. "Hello?" Bella said. "Hi, this is Dr. Miller from the ER at Mercy Hospital, is Mr. or Mrs. Kovac home?" It was a lady's voice on the phone. "Who is it?" Dani asked Bella. Bella just made a motion for Dani to hold on. "Um, no, this is their daughter, why, what happened?" Dr. Miller sighed, she obviously wanted to talk to Luka or Abby. "Your brother, Joseph is here, he was in a serious car accident, and has some internal injuries, if you could please give me your mother or father's cell phone number, that would be great. They really need to be here for him." Bella's throat went dry and her mind went blank. She couldn't even remember her own mother's phone number. Suddenly, it came to her. "Um, yeah its 144-3642, that's my moms." "Okay, thank you very much sweetie. And don't worry, your brother will get better, I'm very sorry about this call, this was the only number I could find to contact someone." Bella hung up the phone, and just stood there, with her mouth hanging wide open. Dani walked around from the counter, and stood by her sister. First, she started to poke her. When that didn't work, she slapped her across the face. "Oww!!" "Oh my god what's wrong?? Why are you acting like such an idiot?" Bella started to sniffle. "It was Mercy Hospital that called. They said Joe was there and they needed mom and dad." "Oh god, well, I'm sure he's going to be okay, lets not get upset over this." Dani gave Bella her sandwich, and they both sat down at the kitchen table and started eating. Abby was driving as fast as she could to get across town. People around her kept honking their horns, but she didn't care, she just wanted to see her son. When she finally got to Mercy, she parked in the lot, and ran as fast as she could threw the double doors and right too the admit desk in the ER. She had to stop for a minute to catch her breath. "My son, Joseph Kovac, was brought here.", Abby managed to get out between breaths. The clerk told Abby to hold on. A young girl, who looked like she was in her late 20's, came up to Abby after a few minutes of waiting there. "Hi, I'm Dr. Miller. I called your house phone and your daughter gave me your cell number, but there was no answer." "Oh, I'm sorry." Abby said. "My phone was off. I work at County General, and I had the other victim that was in the car with him, he told me he was here." Dr. Miller smiled at Abby. "Okay, well, follow me down this hallway." Abby followed her. Why isn't she telling me what's wrong? Abby thought. When they got to the trauma room, someone came running up to them. "Dr. Miller, we need you over here.", the nurse said. "I'll explain everything when I get back, you can go in and see him though." Dr. Miller started to run off to another room with the nurse. Abby turned and looked into the trauma room with fear in her eyes. Okay, don't kill me for this cliffhanger. I'll update probably another 2 times today.

Thanks! Chapter 14 Abby walked slowly into the trauma room. She couldn't believe this was her son here. He was alive, but he looked so pale. She sat down next to him, and grabbed his hand. He was intubated and had all kinds of tubes in him. After 5 minutes of sitting there, Dr. Miller finally walked back in. "We need your consent for surgery. He has some internal injuries, and we need to repair them and make sure nothing too serious happened." Dr. Miller handed Abby a paper to sign. Abby read over the whole thing. Even though she gave these out for people to sign at least twice a day, she still made sure she carefully read over everything. She signed her name at the bottom, and handed it back over to Dr. Miller. "We have an observation deck up in the OR if you would like to watch." Abby looked back at her. "Sure, thank you." Two other nurses and Dr. Miller pushed Joe's gurney upstairs, with Abby holding his hand. Once they got upstairs, Dr. Miller lead Abby to the observation deck. "I have to go back down to the ER. Joe's doctor will now be Dr. Keaton." "Okay, thank you so much, for everything." Abby said as Dr. Miller started walking towards the elevators. Dr. Keaton. That name sounds so familiar to me for some reason. Was she a doctor that worked at County before? No, I would have remembered. Abby kept trying to think of where she remembers her from. Once they brought Joe into the OR, she just sat there, and prayed. Luka came out of the elevator and walked toward the admit desk. He had to take a patient up to radiology, but it took longer than he expected. Frank was just about to tell Luka something when another trauma rolled in. "Sorry Frank! Tell me later!", Luka said as he was walking down the hall. She could feel tears pouring down here face as they started shocking Joe's heart. This is not happening to me again. She could remember sitting in an observation deck, exactly 15 years ago today, watching Joe's surgery. She had a feeling he wasn't going to make it, but he was strong, he was holding on, and wouldn't give up. This time, she didn't have her mother there to comfort her. She was there, alone, and she had to get through this. Ahh...don't kill me! *Runs away from computer* I promise you'll like the next chapter!

Thanks guys!! Chapter 15 Joe's surgery was finally over, as they pushed his gurney out of the OR, Abby walked with him, holding his hand all the way to the Intensive Care Unit. She had to wait in the waiting room for now, which broke her heart. Even though she couldn't stand to see her son like that, she still needed to be with him. She looked at her phone. It was only 1:30. It felt like she was there forever. She tried to call Luka, but his phone was turned off. Abby didn't want to call the ER. She didn't feel like talking to Frank, or Jerry. Maybe it would be good to call Bella and Dani though. Their probably wondering what the hell's going on. She picked up the phone, and started dialing. Dani and Bella were both outside in the pool when they heard the phone ring. Dani got out to answer it, almost tripping and falling while walking over to the patio. "Hey mom. Yeah, we're fine, but, how's Joe?" Abby was on the other end, trying as easily as she could to explain this stuff. She was glad Luka was a doctor, because everything she tells him, he understands. "Um, he's fine, well, not perfectly fine, but he just got out of surgery, so he is starting to get better. Hey if your dad comes home and has no clue of what is going on, please tell him to call me, okay?" "Um, yeah, sure mom." They said goodbye, and hung up the phone. Dani and Bella didn't mind being home alone during the day, it was actually kind of relaxing because they didn't have their parents asking them questions and bothering them every 5 minutes. "What did mom say?" Bella asked Dani. "Oh, nothing. Joe's fine, he had surgery, and she said when dad comes home to tell him to call her right away." Dani started to get back into the pool. "Wait, dad doesn't know?" "Apparently not, he's probably oblivious as usual." For the next hour and a half, Dani and Bella stayed in the pool. It was so hot that day, almost up to 100 degrees. Around 3, they got out of the pool, they wanted to be inside when Luka got home. Sorry, not much excitement in this chapter. I'll try to update again later.
