Hey, guys, here it comes. The new and longest chapter. Enjoy!!PLease forgive me my mistakes and grammar
Chapter 9:
“All right” I say “We met in our last hospital in Chicago where I started as a med student in the ER. I worked in that hospital for a couple years as an OB nurse and decided to start med school. So we got introduced and I already had a crush on him. But I couldn’t finish my praxis because my ex-husband didn’t pay for it. So I start to work as a nurse in the ER.” Thinking about Richard makes me upset again.
“You were married before, Abby?”
“Yes we were both married. I had a divorce and Luka...” I look at him and hope he gets it. “My wife and my kids died in the Croatian war.” “Oh, I’m sorry” Jordan says. “Well, it’s ok, now, I mean, I had troubles before but not anymore. But thanks, anyway.” He answers. “Abby, you can continue or shall I?” “No, I do it.” I say and turn to Jordan again.
“So then one night, I walk out of the ER in the Ambulance Bay and see Luka sit on a bench. I sit next to him and we talk and then I kiss him on his mouth.” A smile spreads across my face. Oh man, how embarrassing! “And that’s the moment your relationship started?” Jordan asks. “No, not really. The next day I asked him out on a date. It started good but ended bad. The next few days he avoided me didn’t speak a lot, didn’t came to his shifts. So I took my courage and went to his hotel room. And the rest of the night…”
“Ah, here started your relationship.”
“Yeah, but it was more physical then emotional. I mean we had feelings for each other but it went to fast and we both weren’t ready to be with a person again. It still lasted about a year. Then we broke up. Luka had his hard time and dated every woman that crossed his way. I started drinking again. Then I got beat up and lived at his apartment. Carter, a colleague who was into me, was very jealous. So then I moved in my apartment again and started a relationship with Carter. Luka went to Congo; Carter followed him and came back. Then Luka was said to be dead, a world inside me died too, Carter went to Africa to find Luka’s corpse, but he found Luka alive with malaria, sent him home and staid there, gave Luka a letter for me, to tell me that he is breaking up with me…” Jordan interrupts me again.
“He gave you a letter? Nice way of a break up” she says sarcastically.
“Yeah, I know. But I’m over it.” Now Luka interrupts me.
“I hope so, if not…” he says with an evil smile.
“Hey, guys” Jordan says “you’re not alone in here, ok?”
“You’re right, so let’s continue. So Luka came back with his own private nurse, but then she went home to Montreal and Luka got together with a nurse that was working in the ER, too. Then, Gillian came back and found out that they were together and left. Luka was still with the nurse, I dated a med stud just for fun and then he went to Frisco. The student, not Luka. Then Luka and the nurse broke up because she didn’t want to get anymore kids but Luka did. Then few weeks after this, we got a heavy case. A man kidnapped a 10 year old girl and raped her for months. Then the police found them and that bastard took the girl as a shild. The girl died and I went to Luka’s place to blame him for her death. I began to cry and then suddenly we kissed.” I smile, thinking about the start of something special.
“And then… it just happened. Next day I wake up in Luka’s arms. It was awkward. The whole day was awkward and horrible. Awkward because we didn’t know how to put things and how to say that we still love each other and horrible because a plane crashed in the middle of Chicago and the ER was overcrowded. So after the big rush, in the evening, we talked, tried to tell the other about the feelings but we agreed of just being friends.”
“Ouch, that must be horrible.” Jordan says.
“Yeah, very but it lasted not very long. So one day, one of our R2 came back from his duty in Iraq and married one of our R2. So I went to the ceremony and waited till Luka came to the reception. We talked and had fun but then I wanted to go home and he gave me a lift. We arrived at my apartment and suddenly we couldn’t take it any longer and started kissing in the car.”
“Wow, so since that you’re together, right?” Jordan asks again.
“Yes, with some complications. But we made it together. So then we were two weeks together and it was some days before Christmas, when I found out that I was pregnant. It was hard for me to tell Luka and I wasn’t sure if I want to keep the baby, because my mother is bipolar and I got pregnant when I was with Richard, had an abortion and I didn’t want to make a decision again. But then I decided to keep it, to give it a try, for Luka and even for me. At the beginning we didn’t want to know people about us but by time they found and then they found out that I was pregnant. We had a nice time until Carter asked Luka to come to Darfur. Luka wanted to go but also wanted to stay with me and the baby.”
“And did you go, Luka?” Jordan asks.
“Of course not. I sent an R2 who needed a change of his point of view.” Luka answers.
“Then, the R2 in Iraq died” I continue “and at the day of his funeral Luka made a silly wedding proposal which I didn’t take serious because it was just ‘Right, let’s get married’. So we went to work as usual but then the ex-husband of the nurse came into the hospital. He was a prisoner and wanted to get Sam, the nurse, back. So he and his friends paralyzed Luka and kidnapped Sam and their son. But Sam made me suspicious and then hell broke out. The prisoner and his friends opened a shooting in the ER and to get me save, I fell behind the admin desk on my belly. I was seven months pregnant.”
“Oh my god! What happened then? And where have you been, Luka?”
“I laid intubated on a gurney and tried to make people hear me. And one of our desk clerks got shot and Abby went to get some stuff in the room next to the one I was.”
“And she didn’t hear you?”
“No, I didn’t because when I got the stuff, I had a cramp and bled and then I collapsed. Luckily our Chief of Staff, our former Chief of ER, found me and Luka. I had a belly trauma and got transferred to OB. Dr. Coburn, the OB attending and my mentor, thought that I had an abruption but I told her that I don’t have one because I didn’t feel anything. She meant that is because of the trauma and I have to be monitored for a couple days. So at the same evening, Luka and I were discussing names for the baby when I had a cramp and the heart rate of the baby was dropping, placenta abruption. So Coburn made an emergency c-section, Joe came two months too early. He went to NICU and Coburn tried to save my uterus.”
“Tried? Did she make…”
“Yes, she had to do a hysterectomy. It was horrible, no uterus and a child, that was probably dying. And if Joe had died, we couldn’t get another kid. We spent weeks up in the NICU, hoping for a miracle. My mother came to help us. Then the NICU attending told us that there is a new drug that could help him. We gave it to him and one week later he was taller and in a better condition. So then, my mother was with him as suddenly his heart rate dropped. She called a nurse but she just switched the sound off. The beeping started again and my mother called the attending because nobody believed her but she was right and saved Joe’s life. They did an emergency operation and he almost died but got through. No trouble since then.”
“Wow, so that’s why you ‘freaked out’ before. But how does it continue?”
“One day, a patient named Curtis Ames came, Luka thought it was just a cough and discharged him. Then Curtis Ames came again, he had a stroke. Ames sued Luka for damages, luckily Luka won and didn’t have to pay. But Ames stalked us and then one evening he kidnapped Luka and almost killed him, it was so close, but then he committed suicide. After that happening, I asked Luka to ask me again and he did. We were engaged but we told nobody until a student and a resident found out. We told them to not tell anybody and they kept their mouths shut. Then Luka quit his position as Chief and organized a staff dinner but…”
“But, what?”
“I was a surprise wedding, first I didn’t want to do it but then he convinced me and we got married. I couldn’t have imagined it better.”
“Oh, aweeesome! I want that, too!”
“I believe you. It was supposed that we have a honeymoon but then Luka got a call from his brother in Croatia, his father was getting an operation. Luka left, Joe and I were alone for months. I missed him so much and some phone calls didn’t make it better. And then the day came where Joe had an accident. He fell off a stage at a playground and hit his head. I was worried but it turned out that he was alright, just a head lack. But at that evening I couldn’t take it any longer because I tried to speak to Luka but couldn’t reach him. I started drinking again. But it wasn’t like the last time. It was…” I can’t talk anymore. Talking about my mistakes makes the pain come back. Tears are gathering in my eyes. Luka rubs my back and once again this evening I sob on his chest.
“Shhh, I don’t blame you anymore. I forgave you.”
Now Jordan is confused. “Huh? What’s wrong?”
“Luka can you finish, please.”
“Of course. I came back from Croatia and surprised her.” He continues. “I went to the ER and when she saw me she ran to me. I was so happy to have her back. I didn’t know that she started drinking again. But then one evening Joe was sleeping, she told me and the same night she went to Atlanta to admit rehab. I flew back to Croatia and took Joe with me. After rehab, Abby came too, and then she told me the drinking wasn’t the only thing that happened while I was away. She told me what it was and then back in Chicago, I moved out. It was hard to be separated from them again; at least I could see Joe. But then one day at my new work I talked to a man and he made me change my mind. I went to the ER to talk to her. We went to the nearest park and made up. Everything was alright again and we decided to move on. Start new. Abby went back to and passed and ambulance and suddenly it exploded.”
“Oh my god, Abby! Did you get hurt?”
“Yeah, but nothing serious. I broke my wrist. But one of our colleagues died. We were at the funeral and Luka came here to buy our house. And we left Chicago. So this is our story”
“Wow, that’s not something you hear all day.”
Two hours are over now and Joe is extubated. I stand at admin and sign some papers. The entrance of the ER is opening and I can hear steps behind me. I don’t think about it that much. People always walk into the ER.
“Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find Dr. Kovac?” a woman says. I turn around and freeze. No, not her! Not right now! She will ruin everything!

So here's the new chapter, it's no very long but hope you like it. I kinda freak out everytime I think about this woman and I really hate her. So I hope you still like it, enjoy
Chapter 10:
A blonde, beautiful woman stands in front of me. Time didn’t stop for her but I still recognize her. “Nicole” I whisper. “Excuse me, what did you say?” she asks with a light French accent. “Nothing, I show you the way.”
I head to Joe’s room and she follows me. What the hell is she doing here? We enter the room and Luka looks up.
“Abby, what are you doing here, I thought you wanted to go sign the papers, I can’t remember that that…” he stops when Nicole comes from behind me. “Nicole, what are you doing here?”
“I wanted to see you but I see you are busy, so maybe I come by tomorrow.”
“No,Nicole, you should better leave and never come back” suddenly Luka’s voice is harsh.
“But why? I went from Montreal to Chicago but they told me that you moved so Boston. Was this journey for nothing?”
“Yes, it was. You never should’ve come here. Maybe the people at County didn’t tell you but I came with Dr. Lockhart. But you just know her as Abby.”
She turns around and looks at me. “That’s why you look so familiar to me. Abby, so you are not a nurse anymore?”
“No, I’m not. And you better leave before…” I can’t finish because Joe starts to cry. “Mommy, Daddy!” I Walk over to him and take him out of his bed. “Shh, honey, everything is alright. Go back to sleep.” I kiss him on his forehead and lay him back and watch him fall asleep.
“So this is your son?” Nicole asks. “Yes, but it’s none of your business.” Luka answers harshly.
“You both are really happy, aren’t you? So than I shouldn’t have regrets about…”
“Shut up. You are ruining everything, like you did seven years ago.”
“So what? I could have been in your place some years ago.”
“Abby, what does she mean?” Luka asks scared.
“Can you remember it, when she lied to you that she was pregnant and then that she wasn’t?”
“Yeah, of course, how could I forget that?”
“She didn’t lie to you. She really was pregnant. But she had an abortion and I saw her in OB. She told me that she did it because you would never love her. And I didn’t tell you. Please, don’t be angry!” I say, tears in my eyes. I look at his face. It is expressionless. No signs of emotion. But then a smile runs across his face. He looks at Nicole.
“I’m glad you did it. I mean I wanted kids after my kids died but I didn’t want them with you. I wanted them with Abby but because of the fact of our break up, my dream plopped like a bubble. And then my dream came true. So I already told you, you should leave.”
Nicole stands there in shock and then she says “So maybe you’re right and I should leave. I actually came here to give it a new shot but you changed everything.”
She walks to the door and turns around “I’m glad that you’re happy. Enjoy your life!” With that she walks away.
“Wow”, I manage to say “that was something new. The ex-girlfriend takes a journey to the man that never loved her to give it a new try. I hope she didn’t steal anything this time.”
Luka embraces me and kisses the top of my head. “So she really was pregnant, so what? You don’t have to feel guilty, I’m glad you lied to me, for the first time I’m glad somebody lied to save me and for that I love you even more.”
“Oh god, I love you so much!” I kiss him passionately on his lips.

So here is the next chapter. It took longer than I thought and it's not that long just a replacement character. Thanks for the comments again.
Hope you like this chapter!
Chapter 11:
So Luka is off and after the troubles we went through tonight we finally can go home. I carry the sleeping Joe in my arms and walk to the Lounge; to wait for Luka, of course I have to pass the Admin. I’m aware of people staring at my back but I don’t care. I’m relieved everything is fine and that Nicole won’t bother us anymore. I look at Joe and don’t realize that someone is standing in front of me until I bump into him. I look up and see that the person is Dave.
“Well, well, so your son was the thing you didn’t tell me. So you see, it wasn’t me that blurted your little secret out and I kept my mouth shut as promised. And I’ll do you an extra favor: I’ll tell the nurses that Kovac makes no affaires because he loves you to much. So see you around.”
I watch him walk away and stand still in the hall. Suddenly the whole ER staff is around us.
“For how long have you known Dr.Kovac?”
“For how long are you two married?”
“How old is your son?”
“For how long are you two together?”
Questions over questions. What the h***? Is there no way to be left alone? Seems so, then…
“Hey guys, ease up! Can’t you see that my son is sleeping?” I say rude “Sorry, but save your questions for tomorrow, please. Today was hard enough. So if you could be so kind to step back that I can go to the Lounge, that would be very helpful. Thanks.” People are stepping back, and I can see their pissed faces and the whispers of the nurses.
“Why the hell did he pick her? I mean, yeah, they kind of fit and she is pretty but her character really sucks!”
“No, I think he picked right and she is just so rude because she is exhausted and almost lost her son.”
“Maybe you are right but you know… let’s see what happens tomorrow.”
I lightly shake my head and enter the lounge where I lay the sleeping Joe on the couch and wait for Luka. I look at my watch and realize that it’s almost half past eleven. Too late to call Maggie and finish our talk and too late to call Neela.
