Hey Guys!
Thanks for all the great feedback
------------------------------------------------
The next two weeks had been spent blissfully for Abby, Luka and Charlotte. They spent most of their time at Luka’s, which made Charlotte happy as they were now a proper family and she could tell Stacey at school.
Luka had left for an early shift so it was Abby’s turn to take Charlotte to school.
“Mommy?” Charlotte sat on her booster swinging her legs hitting off the back of the passenger seat.
“What is it sweetie?” Abby took a quick glance in the rear-view mirror to look at Charlotte.
“Will you and Daddy have more babies?” Charlotte asked as she looked back at Abby in the mirror. Abby had nearly chocked on the gum she had been chewing.
“What?” Abby coughed a few times to make sure the gum hadn’t lodged in her throat.
“Will you and Daddy have more babies?”
“I don’t know” Abby told her truthfully. She knew Luka would like more children, and honestly so would she, but she didn’t know when or if it would happen.
“I would like a brother” Abby was amazed that she had even thought about it.
“Well we’ll need to wait and see sweetie” Abby pulled over at school before getting out and letting Charlotte out onto the sidewalk.
“Mommy?” Abby took a deep breath while she shut the door and turned to look at Charlotte.
“Yeh?” Abby helped Charlotte put her backpack on.
“If you don’t have another baby, can we get a puppy?”
Abby had to laugh. If she couldn’t have a brother a dog would do.
“Like I said we’ll need to wait and see. Now, go, school. Dad will pick you up later” Abby stood watching as Charlotte ran into school, before getting into the car and heading into work.
Once Abby got there and changed she thought she had better warn Luka about the previous conversation with Charlotte.
“You got a minute?” Abby followed him to the elevator.
“I’m late for a meeting” Luka had stepped into the elevator and was holding the door open.
“It’s kind of important. Lunch?”
“If I have time” Luka kept the door to the elevator to open as it fought against him to close.
“Well it’s about Charlotte so I need to talk to you definitely before you go to pick her up”
“Ok that’s fine. I’ll find you later” Luka stuck his head out the lift to give Abby a quick kiss before letting the door finally slide shut.
They had both been in and out with patients all day and didn’t quite make it to lunch; Luka changed his coat and decided to find Abby. She was in Trauma 2 with an asthmatic teenager trying to set him up on a nebuliser.
“Abby?” Luka stuck his head into trauma two.
“Oh yeh… I’ll be right there” Abby turned back to the boy. “Ok you used a neb before?” The boy nodded and took it off of Inez. “Ok, I’ll be right back” Abby pulled her gloves off and walked out to the hall.
“What did you need to tell me?”
“This morning when I was taking Charlotte to school she wanted to know if we were going to have anymore babies…” Abby was cut off by Inez coming out.
“Sats down to 75” Inez went back into the trauma room holding the door open for Abby
“Just thought I’d let you know incase it came up. See you at mine later”
“Ab…” Before Luka could say anything Abby was back in with the door shut and setting up for intubation.
Luka watched Abby for a few more seconds before turning with his jaw still practically hitting the floor, going off to pick up Charlotte.
The car journey home surprisingly, to Luka, didn’t involve talking about babies.
Luka had taken Charlotte back to Abby’s and made dinner for both of them.
By the time Abby got in from work it was past Charlotte’s bedtime and Luka wasn’t downstairs. She snuck into Charlotte’s room and planted a kiss on her head before pulling her arm back into the bed and tucked her in.
“Hey there, thought you were never coming home” Luka put his book down and sat up a little more in bed.
“There was a fire, we got most of the majors” Abby sat at the edge of the bed and pulled off her boots off before heading back out into the hall to go to the bathroom.
When she came back a few minutes later Luka was sitting waiting on her.
“Thanks for the explosion you dropped earlier”
“Bomb Luka, not explosion”
Luka watched Abby change her clothes. Abby had started laughing with her back to Luka.
“I can hear you laughing”
Abby turned smiling at Luka. “Did she say anything to you about it?”
“No. I didn’t know what I would have said” Luka pulled back the covers on Abby’s side of the bed so she could get under.
“Well how do you think I felt?” Abby got her under the covers before putting her head on Luka’s chest now he was lying down.
“What did you tell her?” Luka started playing with Abby’s hair while he spoke.
“I said I didn’t know” Abby bit down on her lip, not knowing were the conversation was leading.
There was silence between them until Luka finally plucked up the courage to ask.
“Do you think we will have more kids?”
“I hope so” Abby moved her head to look up to Luka. “Do you think we will?”
“I hope so” Luka moved his head down to kiss her before moving down on the bed so his head beside Abby’s on the pillow. They lay smiling at each other until Abby moved over him and switched off the bedside lamp.
“But on the bright side she would be move than happy with a puppy as well” Abby laughed as Luka pulled her on top of him.
“Well that’s good to know” Luka moved his head up kissing Abby and bringing her down with him.
