If not now

I really felt for Abby in this episode. I think she was really frightened that whatever choice she made it could have a negative impact on her future either losing Luka or having a baby with the potential to be bipolar.

I think deep down she always wanted to keep the baby or she wouldn't have told Luka at all. After all she didn't tell Richard the first time.

I think the whole debate was over whether Luka would be there to support her and not just there as the baby's father.

I think Abby has now got to a period in her life where she can manage her self (after her addiction issues etc)but being responsible for someone else scares her (which I can fully understand and my baby was planned ).

I also felt for Luka . He's already had two of his children die and one be aborted(altough I don't think he knew about that) and I was hoping all through the episode that they would keep the baby 'cause I didn't see a future for them if they didn't . I think Abby would hit self destruct again , push Luka away and possibly into back to Sam.

The last scene was so touching and I'm glad Luka told Abby he wanted her before she told him she hadn't gone through with the termination.

I agree with you in the part Abby telling Luka was a huge deal. If she hadn't I don't think things would've turned out the way they are at the moment. The base of any relationship is comunication and they are learning to be more open with one another. Also to share how they feel. Abby was scared and she told Luka about it, and he is scared too about he whole issue but in a different way. (He didn't know Nicole had the abortion, he thinks that the pregnancy never happened because Nicole lied to him. Abby is the only one that knows.)

Though I'm not sure how the relationship would've turned out if Abby decided not to have the baby I still think that Luka wouldn't have given up the chance to be with her anyway. It's what he always wanted. It might've been dificult at first but in the end those two are meant to be together.

And right now the baby, though unexpected, is what makes them feel right and in a sense of commitment even if they are not prepared to say it out loud. Abby just said something herself about this in last episode (Strange Bedfellows).
