Abby and Luka walked back to Luka’s apartment hand in hand, making the kind small talk couples make when they enjoy each other’s company. Finally, they reached his place and Luka lit the same small lamp he had lit the last time Abby had been there, the room awash in the same soft yellow glow. They stood silently facing each other, getting lost in the emotion of the moment. Luka reached for Abby’s hand and she stepped toward him, reaching up for a long, slow kiss. Luka trailed his fingers along Abby’s arm and she felt herself ignite. Suddenly, Luka picked up Abby and never leaving her lips, began to make his way to the bedroom.
“Ouch!” Luka had forgotten about the corner of the couch and banged his knee. He almost dropped Abby.
“Are you ok?” Abby asked, trying to keep from laughing.
“All except my pride.”
She laughed. “I’m laughing with you.”
“Yea right.”
Abby cupped Luka’s face in her hands. “Come here,” she said resuming their kiss.
More carefully this time, Luka resumed his journey to the bedroom, where he slowly laid Abby down on the bed. He undid each of the buttons of her blouse one by one, before running his hand across the smooth expanse of her stomach. Her skin was like glass and she smelled like roses. Her blouse fell away and her jeans slid off effortlessly. Abby removed Luka’s t-shirt, though it took some effort for him to get out of his pants, leaving both of them chuckling. And finally, they began to make love, delighting in every touch, every taste, every look. They took their time, afraid of leaving the moment, wanting to stay in that perfect place for as long as they could. It was the blissful culmination of so much longing, of so many dreams. They became one soul that night.
There would be no separating them now.
*********************************
Abby was draped across Luka’s chest, drowsy with ecstasy. She could feel the slow and steady rhythm of Luka’s heart beating like the sweetest of lullabies. He held both arms around her loosely. Suddenly, Abby chuckled.
“Am I that funny?” Luka asked.
Abby ran her fingers through the tufts of his chest hair.
“I was just thinking about the first day you came to the hospital. Who would have ever thought…” “I did. Thought I mean. About you.”
Abby rolled her eyes. “Yea right. You don’t remember me.”
Luka was silent for a moment.
“The first time, was in the lounge. You still had the pink uniforms. And you had on a black tank top underneath. Your hair was in a ponytail. It was blond then. You got a cigarette out of your locker.”
“Wow,” Abby said, surprised. “You remember all that?”
“You stood out.”
“Apparently.”
Luka took in a breath. “There was something that just…I can’t explain it.”
“I know. I felt it too. It was crazy.”
“Yea. I’m glad…” Luka let his voice trail off.
Abby knew what he meant.
“So am I, Luka. So am I.” She paused. “What now?”
“Um…I can think of a few things.”
Abby chuckled. “Ok, well, that’s a given. No, I mean with us.”
Luka shrugged.
“I guess we just take things one day at a time and see where that leads us.”
“I’d like that,” she said.
To be continued…

Abby was in her kitchen making dinner. Well Abby's version of making dinner anyway, which consisted of dumping a box of pasta into a pot of boiling water and breaking out a jar of Ragu. Luka was on his way over and they planned to spend a quiet night at home. It had been about 3 months since they'd gotten together and it had been amazing. Abby felt lighter and happier than she ever had and didn't feel that sense of dread she used to feel in her marriage and her subsequent relationship with Carter. Luka got her. She smiled as she ripped off the top of the pasta box and watched the noodles cascade out of the box and into the steaming pot of water. She placed the lid over the pot when she remembered she hadn't gotten her mail when she came in. Checking the pot, she quickly ran downstairs and grabbed the stack of envelopes from her box before darting upstairs. Leaning against the kitchen counter, she sifted through the assortment of bills and junk mail when one envelope made her do a dead stop.
It was a letter from Carter.
The envelope felt heavy in her hand. Slowly, she turned it over and slid her finger under the flap, tore it open and began to read.
Dear Abby, I'm not even sure how long it's been since the last time I saw you. Time is relative here. I've found myself thinking about you, so I was compelled to reach out to you and write this letter.
I just wanted to say...you were right. We were all wrong for each other. I think we both knew it early on but hung on because we were trying to prove something. What, I don't know. Maybe that we were capable of being together.
I could tell early on that you were attracted to Luka. I think even before you knew it. And, well, I used to wish you looked at me the way you looked at him. I know you belong together.
I've met an amazing woman. Her name is Kem and she's a public health worker who runs an AIDS clinic. She's part African, part French and just unlike anyone I've ever met before. In fact...we're having a baby in about 6 months. I can't wait to be a father.
Thank you for having the courage to do what I couldn't. It was the best thing that could have happened for us both.
Take care, Carter.
Abby was in the middle of re-reading the letter when the buzzer rang. She hurriedly folded the letter and shoved it under the other envelopes and went to open the door. Luka was standing there with a bottle of wine in one hand and flowers in the other.
"Hi," she said a smile breaking over her face as she leaned in for a kiss.
"Hi yourself," he said and he bent over to give Abby a long, slow kiss.
"Mmmm," she moaned, wrapping her arms around him and inhaling his scent. "I missed you today. How was your day off?"
Luka set the flowers and wine down on the coffee table and removed his jacket, which he went to hang up in the closet.
"Busy. Just had a lot of little errands to run." Abby went back into the kitchen to check the pasta and Luka picked up the flowers and wine and followed her.
"How was your day?" he asked.
Abby leaned against the counter as she ticked off the day. "Three MVA's, two GSW's, a guy who shoved a hot dog up his anus, oh and the girl who drank a glass of bleach in an attempt to miscarry." Abby looked at Luka. "So, pretty much a normal day."
Luka chuckled. "Wow. I'm surprised you actually got a chance to leave."
"It looked dicey for a minute."
Luka picked up the flowers off the table, which sent the stack of mail flying to the floor. Panicked, Abby went to grab the letters. She didn't want him to see the letter before she had a chance to tell him. Luka bent down at the same time.
"Oh, I've got that Luka," she said reaching for the letters. He smiled and clutched the letters in his own hand.
"It's ok," he said as he went to shuffle them back into order when he saw the envelope with Carter's name. His face fell as he realized what it was. Silently, he set the stack on the table.
"It just came today," Abby said.
Luka twisted his mouth into a grim line.
"Were you trying to hide it?"
"No, no...I was going to tell you about it. Just not the minute you walked in the door."
Luka nodded slowly, his complexion turning red.
"So what did he want?"
Abby licked her lips and looked down at the floor.
"He...he thanked me for ending things. Said we weren't right for each other but that he could tell you and I were."
Luka bit his bottom lip.
"Really?" he said stiffly.
Abby looked up at the ceiling. "He's met someone and they're having a baby." She looked back down at Luka. "Carter is out of my life. Our life. Forever."
Luka was quiet for a moment.
"Are you sure?" he said softly.
Abby took a deep breath.
"Luka...I know I'm not...easy. I'm moody and difficult and kind of screwed up. But, there are two things I'm sure of. One, that I'm a good doctor and two, that you are the most incredible thing that has ever happened to me and I would die if I lost that. If I lost you. And I just...I hope we're together for...forever." She fell silent, afraid to look at him, afraid of what impact her words might have had. She held her breath and waited for him to speak.
"Abby," he said and she lifted her eyes to meet his. He was holding out his arms to her and she drifted into them, squeezing him tightly. They stood in the middle of her kitchen wrapped around each other, oblivious to the pasta that was overflowing. Suddenly, the lid started to clatter and they broke away and ran over to the pot. The pasta had burned down into a crunchy mess.
Abby laughed. "Pizza?"
"Pizza."
Abby set the lid down on the pot and turned off the stove. Luka took Abby's hand and kissed it.
"I love you," he said simply.
She smiled.
"Me too."
THE END
Look out for the sequel to "What If," as I explore the question of "What Now?"
Stay tuned!
