Sorry for such the long wait! I had exams this week and didn't have time to write! Here's the next chapter, and hopefully I will have another one later! Chapter 33 2 weeks later, the day after Labor Day, Dani, Joe, and Bella were back to school. Abby dropped them off, Joe at the high school and Bella and Dani at the middle school, and wished them luck. She still hadn't told them yet that she was pregnant. Time was running out though. As she drove to work, she decided she was going to lay the news on them that night. Joe would be the first one she would tell. Even though Dani and Bella were only 2 and a half years younger, she still felt that Joe would be more mature with the news than them. After all, she wanted to finish the talk she started with them back in June. She never found the right time to do it, but now that this happened, it was probably the perfect time. Abby walked into the ER, only to be greeted by Morris handing her a handful of charts. That stupid smirk Morris always had on his face. How she just wanted to slap it right off. Before she had the chance to say something, he was already on his way out with his things. Surprisingly, Abby hadn't thrown up yet that morning. It was such a shock to her. Once she discharged all of the patients that Morris had handed over to her, she went right back to work. She really wasn't in the mood for a trauma today, but that was her job, whether she liked it or not. In the trauma room, Dr. Weaver, Morris, Sam, Haleh, and Abby worked on the patient. They all knew that the little girl would die, but the family had to get there before they pronounced it. Abby felt a wave of nausea come over her. She couldn't leave the trauma, because when the parents of the girl got there, she would be the one to explain to them that their kid was dying, and that there was nothing more they could do. But the feeling just inched its way up her throat, and now it was too late to make it to the bathroom. She grabbed the bin off of the tray, leaned over and threw up right into it. Well, so much for keeping this a secret much longer. Sam continued to do compressions while Dr. Weaver rushed over to Abby. "Oh my god Abby, are you okay?" Abby didn't feel nauseous anymore, at least it wasn't as bad as it sometimes was. Kerry took her into the next room, while Morris got ready to explain to the parents about their daughter. Kerry helped Abby get up onto the gurney. "Is everything okay? Lately, you just haven't been yourself." Abby knew she couldn't keep this a secret much longer, everyone would have eventually found out anyway. So this was the time to tell someone. "I wanted to keep this a secret for awhile, but I guess it's almost impossible around here." Abby started off saying. "I'm....I'm pregnant." She said to Kerry. Kerry's eyes grew wide, she didn't expect to hear something like that. "When is your next appointment with your gynecologist?" Kerry asked politely. "Next week, with Dr. Coburn." Abby knew exactly what Kerry was going to say next. "Well, I'm going to send you home today. I don't want you working when your throwing up all over the place. Would you like me to do an ultrasound?" Abby thought for a minute. She could have her do one, but it's probably not going to be any different from the last time. After all, her next appointment is only next week, she could wait. "No thanks, I'll wait until next week." Kerry smiled and told Abby she could go. When Abby walked out the door, Kerry shouted something behind her. "Hey Abby, congratulations." Abby turned around and smiled. "Thanks." As Abby walked into the lounge to get her things, Luka was in there making a pot of coffee. "Hey, is everything okay?" Abby walked over to her locker and got her things out. "No, well, it's nothing serious. I just threw up a little in the trauma room, so Dr. Weaver sent me home." Luka gave her a kiss and as they started to go their separate ways, Luka asked Abby, "Would you still like me to pick up the kids or are you going to do it?" Abby turned around. "Well, Joe's going to take the bus home, but yeah, I'll pick up Dani and Bella." Abby walked out through the ambulance bay slowly towards the parking garage. She didn't want to walk fast, after the incident she just had in the trauma room.

Thanks guys! Chapter 34 Abby drove up to Dani and Bella's school and parked somewhere where they would see her. She rarely picked them up from school, so they would be pretty happy. As Bella and Dani walked out of the school, Abby looked over to them and waved. They shrugged as they said goodbye to their friends and walked over to Abby's car. "Mom, don't embarrass us like that." Dani said. Abby chuckled. "How was I embarrassing you? How was you first day back?" They got into the car. "Dad always stays in the car and waits for us in the car, not standing outside of it." Dani said. Abby turned the car on and pulled out behind a bus. "Well, I didn't know he did that." Abby said. "Our first day back was good though." Bella said. "They are already talking to us about graduation and the high school, it's so annoying! I mean, it's only the first day back!" Bella keep going on and on about how the teachers were annoying her already. "Remember when Joe told this to you guys? And remember how fun his graduation seemed? Just think, you get to look forward to that." Abby said. When they got home, Joe was already there. The high school got out earlier than the middle school. Abby sometimes forgot about that. Luka wasn't home yet, but she wanted to get this over with, so she thought of a way she could tell Joe without the girls overhearing them. "Joe, would you like to come to pizza hut with me and pick up dinner? I ordered it already, we just have to pick it up, they wouldn't deliver today." That wasn't true. They were delivering that day, but that seemed like the only way she could tell Joe. "Could we come too mom?" Bella said. 'No, no, you guys stay here, it will only take a few minutes, besides, I want to know how Joe's day was." Bella and Dani just shrugged and walked away. Abby and Joe walked outside to the car, and when they got in, Joe spoke up. "They weren't delivering today?", he said sarcastically. He had a feeling something was up. They pulled out of the driveway, and were on their way to get dinner. "I wanted to talk to you about something before I talked to your sisters about it." Joe became confused. He knew none of them were in trouble, what could she possibly want to talk to them about? "Joe, I know you were very young when I was pregnant with Dani and Bella..." Before Abby could continue on, Joe said something. "Wait, mom, are you trying to tell me your pregnant???" Abby's mind completely froze. She didn't think it would be that obvious. "Well, yes." That wasn't the way she wanted to tell Joe, but it seemed to work. "Okay, so you just wanted to tell me before Dani and Bella because they might have a hard time dealing with it?" Joe said to Abby. Abby looked at Joe. "Com'on mom, it's not that hard to read your mind." As the drove down the highway into Chicago, Abby and Joe continued to talk about how they would tell Dani and Bella. They would wait until Luka got home, and after dinner, they would sit down at the kitchen table, face to face, and tell them. Hopefully they will be excited.

Thanks guys!
I think your going to like this chapter...... There's a little bit of "Girl Talk" in this chapter too if you know what I mean. Chapter 35 Dinner was quiet. Dani could tell Joe knew something that they didn't, and it was bothering her. "Joe, why does it look like your keeping a secret?" Joe dropped his pizza crust on the plate, and took a sip of his soda. "I'm not, it was just," Joe looked over at Abby, he truly did not know what to say. "Dani, Bella, I need to tell you guys something. How would you feel about having a baby brother or sister?" Both of their mouths flew open. "What? Are you trying to tell us your pregnant?" Dani said. "Uhh....yeah" Abby started to blush, she was embarrassed, but happy at the same time. "Will you give us a moment?" Bella said. Both her and Dani got up from the table and walked silently into their bedroom, once the door was closed, they both let out obnoxious screams of joy. Luka and Abby exchanged glances. "So, you think their happy?"Abby said to Luka. Luka nodded his head, obviously proud to know that everyone is now happy. 2 months later, Abby's belly was starting to grow. She was at the point where she almost couldn't fit into her regular jeans. She had taken off of work that day because she had an appointment at Dr. Coburn's practice, she also wanted to go shopping for maternity clothes too. Luka had already left for work, so she had to drive everyone to school. When she got into the kitchen, only 2 of the kids were there, Dani and Joe. "Dani, where's your sister at?" Abby got some money out of her wallet for Joe's lunch. "She said she couldn't get up and that her stomach hurt too bad, she really seemed in pain." Abby marched up the stairs to check on Bella. As she opened the door, Bella was laying in bed with her arms wrapped around her belly. Abby sat down next to her on the bed. "Bella, sweetie, what's wrong?" Abby asked her, calmly. "My stomach really hurts, and I think I started my period. I came into your room to get a pad last night." This sentence shocked Abby. Her girl was growing up. "It's okay sweetie. You can stay home today. If you want, you can even come to my doctors appointment with me and see how your little brother or sister is doing." Bella nodded her head. Abby figured that she would let Bella lay in bed until she got home from taking Joe and Dani to school. When she walked downstairs, Joe and Dani were waiting for her at the door. "So is she staying home?" Joe asked Abby. Abby started to put on her coat, which she couldn't even zip up anymore. "Yeah, she's just got a little stomach virus, it's fine." She lied. She didn't mind telling Dani, but with Joe there, she wasn't too comfortable with it. Even though he took health class for at least 3 years now in school, she didn't want to get into the details with him. When she got home, she was surprised to see Bella up and out of bed. "Hey honey, you feeling better now?" Abby said. Bella was sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal. "Yeah, sorta. It still hurts a little bit, and the really bad pain comes and goes, but it's better than it was." At 9, they left to go to Dr. Coburns. Even though Abby's appointment wasn't until 9:45 and it only took a half hour to get there, she didn't like to be late. So that way, she would be 15 minutes early. Bella sat next to Abby in the waiting room, clutching her stomach everytime a sharp pain hit. "Abby Lockhart, Dr. Coburn will see you now," A nurse yelled out into the waiting room. Bella followed Abby back to the exam room. "Abby! How have you been? And who is this? Bella or Dani? You too look so much alike! You've gotten much bigger since the last time I saw you!" Dr. Coburn was obviously in a perky mood today. "It's Bella. She stayed home sick today, must be a stomach bug going around." Abby sat on the exam table while Bella sat next to her in the chair where Luka sits when he's with her. "Okay Abby, you know the drill." Abby lifted up her shirt and felt the cold gel pour onto her stomach. A few minutes passed, and there it was, her son or daughter. Bella thought it was the most amazing thing, to see her brother or sister for the first time in her moms belly. The best part was, she could go home and tell Joe and Dani all about it. "You want to wait until Luka is here to know if it is a boy or a girl right?," Dr. Coburn asked Abby. Abby nodded her head. "Okay then, I will see you back here in 2 weeks." The whole ride home, all Bella talked about was how cool it was to be at the appointment with Abby. She wanted to follow in her mothers footsteps and become a doctor. Maybe not an ER doc, but some kind of doctor. That was her thing, to help people. "So, can I be there when it's born?," Bella asked Abby. Abby wasn't sure about it yet. She thought that might be too intense for her daughter, who will only be 13 then. But then again, Bella has seen people come into the ER with knives in their eye sockets, maybe it might not be so bad compared to that. "We will see, when the time comes, we'll see."

Thanks guys!
I'm not sure if I like this chapter that much, tell me what you think. Chapter 36 The next day, Abby got up and sorted through her new maternity clothes that she had gotten yesterday with Bella. She wanted to pick out something nice she could wear to work that day. Once she had on an outfit that she thought looked good enough for the day, she went in to check on Bella to see if she was up for school. Dani came out of the room as soon as Abby got to the door. "She's still laying in bed. Her stomach still apparently hurts." Dani walked down the stairs, and Abby walked into the bedroom and sat down on the edge of Bella's bed as she did the day before. "Bella, sweetie, you have to get up and go to school." Bella started to moan. "Just one more day mom, it really hurts." Abby sighed. She didn't know what else to do, and she wasn't in the mood to fight with her either. "Okay, just today. Tomorrow you are going back to school no matter what though. This is something that you are just going to have to get used to." Abby walked out into the hallway and back into her bedroom. Luka was looking in the mirror straightening out his tie. "Aren't you a little late for work?" Abby asked Luka. She knew his shift started 2 hours before hers. But now that Bella was staying home, she would stay home with her. "Yeah, I overslept a little." Abby sat down on the bed." "Tell Kerry I'm not coming in again today. Bella's sick again. I will be back in tomorrow though." Luka stopped trying to put his watch on as he listened to Abby. "Is she okay?" "Well, she started...ummm....her period. I guess the cramps are just getting to her." Abby didn't really want to tell Luka that, but she had to. She remembered when she got her period, and Maggie went and told Maggie's boyfriend. It was embarrassing. "Oh, okay. So you can take care of everything then? I'm really running late." Abby stood up and gave Luka a kiss. "Yeah, don't worry about it. I'll take Joe and Dani to school and I'll stay here and watch Bella. The ride to both schools were quiet. Joe sat in the front while Dani sat in the back. Usually, Dani and Bella would talk the whole way, but without Bella, there was dead silence. Once they were both dropped off at school, Abby drove back home to Bella. As she closed the door behind her, she could hear Bella moaning upstairs. This couldn't be just her period, it had to be something more. "Bella?" Abby said. No response. All she could hear were her daughters moans. Worried that something was really wrong, she ran up the stairs as fast as she could, with fear overwhelming her body. When she opened the door to her room, Bella laid there, curled up in a ball, with the blankets at the foot of her bed. Abby put her head on Bella's head, and she was burning up. How could this be? She definitely didn't have a fever yesterday. Something then popped into Abby's head that she thought might be the case. "Bella, where does your stomach hurt at?"Bella pointed with her hands to where it hurt. It was her right side. Right where her appendix were. "Tell me if this hurts, okay?" Bella nodded her head trying to hold back tears. Abby began feeling Bella's stomach, and when Abby pressed down, Bella screamed out a cry of pain. "OOwwwwww!!! Mom, it hurts! It really hurts!" Abby knew right away that she needed to call an ambulance and get her daughter to the ER. Until they got there, Abby sat with Bella, easing her through the pain. She didn't call Luka, she didn't need to. He would find out when they got there, whether he liked it or not. Right now, Abby just wanted to stay right at her daughters side. As the paramedics came in, Abby could tell one of them was Bardelli, but the other one, she couldn't quite make it out. She knew the voice, it was a voice she knew she would always remember. When he came around the corner, she realized who it was. "Lockhart?"
