[glow=red,2,300]1 month later....[/glow]
Luka seemed lost in his thoughts as he set the table for dinner and Abby put her hand on his .. "Tata and Maggie have gone to the movies so you don't need to set a place at the table for them...." Luka closes his eyes and laughs "I wasn't thinking....." Abby waits for him to look at her. " Luka is something bothering you...?" Luka puts the cutlery down and takes her by the hands and leads her to the sofa. "Can we talk...?" his eyes look like puppy dog eyes and Abby just melts. "Oh course we can....." she smiles warmly unawares of what he will say. Luka clears his throat and shifts in his seat.....Abby sits poised.
'Abby...." he takes her hands again. "We have known each other for a long time..and we have a connection that I thought I wouldn't have again after my wife died.....but.....I feel that you and I have something special too and I don't want to lose you........" Abby searches his eyes for and answer.. 'Luka...is something wrong...why are you getting all sentimental on me...is it because of what happened to Susan and Chuck..?" Luka nods a little. "Abby..its more than that...I realised something....I have spent a lot of time grieving and trying to escape bad things in my life and now...now it's time to stop...." Abby bites her lip and quivers ..scared of what he is going to say.
"Abby.....I love you..." He drops to his knees beside the sofa and takes a deep breath. "I want to be with you now and forever...I love you with all my heart and I would be honoured if you would be my wife...." He looks at a shellshocked Abby straight into her eyes and smiles. "Abby.... will you marry me..?"
Abby strains to blink...it's not what she expected and her reaction is not as forthcoming as he had hoped.. "Abby....will you marry me...?" he repeats his heartfelt words again. Flashbacks of her wedding to Richard seize her mind and the memories of their fights and divorce plaugue her....she shakes her head and starts to breath a little fast ..her mouth is dry and she panics and gets up and starts to walk off. "Luka...I uh....." Luka grabs her by the arm and pulls her back
"I love you Abby.... and I don't want to miss out on anything anymore life is too precious ..I know that marriage scares you and it scares me a little too...but we love each other and we can spend the rest of our lives together ..and I want that...."
Abby wipes a small tear away and then looks back at him. "I don't need a white dress and a gold ring to prove that I love you Luka.....I just need you.."
Luka lets go of her arm and sighs. "I'm sorry Abby..I shouldn't have ...I mean...." Abby sees the disappointment in his eyes and feels guilty for crushing him. "Luka...I'm sorry too...I know marriage vows are important to you and I shouldn't have reacted that way...." Luka's expression changes and softens a little.
"Over the years...I have grown to love you and even though we haven't always been together..we have remained friends and good friends too...I have always counted on you to be there and taken it for granted that you will be....." Luka moves around the room with his back to her.
"When Danielja ..died ...I never thought I would marry again..and up til now I didn't think I would...but I realise that more than ever I am in love with you and I can't imagine not being with you .....and Joseph ...it feels like that piece of my heart that froze all those years ago has finally melted and I know that it is because of you....." Abby covers her mouth and gasps .....his words touch her and she is overcome with emotion....she gently puts her hand into the small of his back and he turns around and takes her in his arms and kisses her and she responds and silently the other one knows what the other is thinking. "Luka......" he opens his eyes and stares into hers. 'What......?" She whispers the word easily as if she can't stop herself. "Yes..."
To be continued.....

Maggie and Tata walked through the door still arguring about something and Tata is putting his hands over his ears and refusing to listen to her. "You are wrong Maggie ...I wasn't crying I was affected by the airconditioning and that is all ....." Maggie smiles smugly to herself and agrees to disagree. "Okay ..you weren't crying....you just had very watery eyes"
Luka and Abby exchange glances with each other and Abby nods towards Luka as if to give him the go ahead to tell them the news. Luka clears his throat and nervously plays with his hands.
"Maggie..Tata....I need to talk with you and it's very important so can you please stop arguing for a moment..." Maggie looks straight at him and panics 'What is it Luka ..what's wrong.....is it the baby " Tata puts his arm around her and Luka shakes his head.
"No there is nothing wrong with Joseph..." Tata clutches his chest "I'm not gonna get chest pains again am I because I don't want to go back to hospital....." Abby steps forward and waves her hands in the air. "I said YES ..." she yells. Maggie whips her head around and frowns "I'm sorry ...what did you say" Luka takes Abby in his arms and starts laughing 'She finally agreed to marry me.."
Tata cheers loudly and does a little dance before hugging Maggie and bear hugging Luka and Abby at the same time. "Oh thank god ..the Kovac line will continue.." Abby looks at Luka bewildered.. "But Joesph is already born and he will continue the family name ..so what is your father talking about..I don't understand.." Luka plays with her hand and leans down to whisper in her ear. "My father believes that Joseph is a um ..how do you say it..a bastard and until we are married ...he isn't really a Kovac..." Abby rolls her eyes and pulls her head back. "You're joking ..arn't you.." Luka slowly shakes his head. "No ..I'm not....he thinks we live in sin and that Jospeph is a product of that......that's why he was so adamant that we get married...." Abby walks off towards Tata and stands in front of him and grits her teeth. "I've changed my mind......" Maggie draws a breath and gasps in horror....Abby continues defiantly. "I am not going to marry Luka...just to please you..and we will continue to live in sin to spite you....."
Tata stands there in disbelief "What....?"

Abby finds herself getting out of a cab at Carter's house and knocking on the door..it was too much the loud voices.. Maggie and Luka both trying to talk to her at once and Tata..starting a tirade of what were surely Croatian expletives..she had to get out and Susan was the only person she wanted to talk to. The butler showed her in and directed her upstairs..Carter had set up a mini hospital in his family home so that Susan could recuperate and the baby could be cared for at the same time..but mostly he just looked after them and Cosmo..he practically doted on him..
"Hey Abby...what a nice surprise..c'mon up...." Carter waved from the top of the stairs and Abby briefly smiles back and begins climbing the stairs.... Susan is sitting in a recliner and feeding Charli and Abby stops in the doorway. "Oh ...I'm interrupting arn't I..." Susan laughs "Oh god Abby don't be stupid.....have a seat I'll be done in a minute and then Carter can burp her...he has quite a knack for it you know.." Abby raises her eyes....."Really .. well maybe he can come to my place sometime and burp Joseph..."
Susan finishes feeding the baby and then hands her to Carter and he disappears over to the far corner and Susan watches him for a minute and then satifised turns to Abby. 'So what did he do ...?' Abby looks shocked and frowns. "How did you know...?" Susan picks up a pillow and puts it under her arm and rests against it. "Oh sweetie it's obvious..you turn up here out of the blue and your eyes are red like you have been crying...and besides Maggie called and said you were upset...." Abby rolls her head back in disgust "Oh ..I should have guessed that one..." Susan waits for her to talk and tell her what's wrong.
"Abby......tell me what happened" Abby pushes a strand of her behind her ear. 'Well...um ...Luka kind of proposed to me and I said no of course...." Susan's eyes widen "Oh you didn't...." Abby shrugs as she continues...
"Then he started talking about feelings and how much I mean to him and then ...I don't know ..I guess I felt somehow the timing was right and maybe I did want to get married again..so I said yes to him..." Susan claps her hands and then drops them her expression perplexed a little. "Okay ..so why are you here..what happend next..?" Abby stands up and heads to the window and admires the view and forgets herself for a moment.
"Luka's father got all excited about us getting married because now our son the bastard will officially become a Kovac and we will no longer be living in sin....so I marched up to him and told him that I will not marry Luka now...just to spite him and his stupid beliefs..." Abby throws her hands in the air and starts raving. "I mean who does he think he is....telling Luka that unless we marry he won't accept me or Joseph as part of the family...well I'm not sure I want to be apart of that family anymore"
Susan sighs a little. "Abby...you don't think maybe you overeacted a little..?" Abby turns around and screws her face up . "No ....I mean I don't know...what do you think..?"
