Abby groans as she rolls out of bed..Luka remains motionless and seemingly oblivious to the the door buzzer.
"Who the hell is buzzing me at this time of the morning"
Abby pulls her robe around her as she heads to the door and is still yawning as she she presses the button.
"Yeah ..who is it..?"
There is a slight giggle on the other end before an all too familiar voice greets her back.
"Hey Abby ...Happy Birthday sweetheart...."
Abby closes her eyes and mouthes the word shit... this was the last person she wanted to see today and now she was here at her apartment at the crack of dawn. Abby grits her teeth and tries to reply without sarcasm and her voice comes out strained.
"C'mon up"
Abby quickly heads back to the bedroom and tries to rouse a sleepy Luka. "Wake up ...and put some clothes on...Maggie's here"
Luka rolls over candidly and sits up leaning on his elbow..he watches as Abby tries collect random clothing from off the floor ..she tosses a pair of boxers at Luka and hits him in the face.
"Sorry..but you really need to be decent..there is going to be enough questions about you being here without adding the word naked into the conversation."
Luka laughs at her and tries to catch her as she breezes past him.
"You didn't mind last night....being naked I mean."
Abby stops in her tracks and looks back at him in horror and suddenly she clutches at her neck.
"Oh shit Luka you gave me a hickey last night...she will see it.."
Luka grabs a scarf hanging off the back of the door and tosses it at her and she quickly pulls it around her neck as she runs to the front door.
"Hey Mom ..."
Maggie walks in and puts her bag down before hugging Abby solidly for a whole minute. "Well hello Birthday Girl...surprise..I'm here for a visit."
Abby smiles bleakly as Luka makes an appearance from the bedroom and immediately Maggie's eyes light up.
"Well hello there...I'm Maggie and you are...?"
Abby steps forward and bites her lip a little. "Mom this is Luka Kovac ..he's Croatian... he is a doctor at County too " Maggie nods with approval Luka puts his hand out to shake and is surprised when Maggie pulls him into a hug.
"Oh please...you two are obviously close so that means I get a hug....I could be your future mother in law you know..."
Abby nearly chokes on her own saliva after that comment and looks at Luka to see if he has a reaction too...but he just raises his eyebrows a little and smiles graciously. Maggie turns around and stares straight at Abby's scarf...she ponders it for a moment and giggles knowingly but decides not to say anything about it..
'So Abby what did Luka give you for a birthday present...?"
Abby thinks about last night and how attentive Luka was towards her when they made love...the gentle caressing and soft kisses..his arms tightly around her after she collasped into them for the third time..she didn't need a token gift from him ..she had a connection ...and that was the best gift he could give her.
"He um ...he gave me this scarf...do you like it...?"
Maggie's expression changes slightly..she seems disappointed and then Luka steps forward and produces something in his hand...its a small box with a bow on it.
"I was waiting until tonight to give it to you..but now seems as good a time as any.."
Luka hands her the box and Maggie starts egging her on.
"Oh Abby...open it up...."
Abby looks at it embarrassed..she worries that it is a ring box and that is something she is not ready for....she nervously fiddles with it for a second and as she opens it her and Maggie gasp the same words at the same time.
"Earrings"
Luka stunned by their unique reaction starts to panic and pulls Abby's hair back...she looks at him confused and then he laughs.
"Sorry I just had a horrible thought that maybe you didn't have your ears pierced..I mean you and your mother seemed surprised to see earrings in the box."
Abby puts her hand on his shoulder and whispers in his ear.
"I think mom thought you were going to propose..."
Luka looks at her with a serious face. "Oh yeah...and what did you think...?"
Abby screws her face up a bit and nods. "I thought it was going to be a ring too ..but I'm glad it is earrings ..." Luka looks over at Maggie as she picks up the kettle to pour..she looks over and winks at him...she didn't seem half as bad as Abby made her out to be....this was going to an interesting day.
to be cont'd

Abby pulls her hands away from her ears and Maggie starts talking about the same subject again..something Abby doesn't want to hear.
"Oh c'mon Abby you are 35 years old and don't tell me you haven't thought about it...?"
Abby rolls her eyes and pretends to ignore her mother in the hope she finally gives up..Maggie moves closer and gently pushes a strand of hair away from Abby's face.
"You and Luka seem happy together..a lot happier than you ever were with Richard and I'm better now..I'm taking my meds so you don't have to put your life on hold anymore and if you don't think about having a baby soon ..it might be too late..."
The words hung in the air for a moment and Abby bites her lip trying to stop it trembling and she knew it was time to tell her mother a few home truths.
"Mum...I never said I didn't want kids..I just don't know if I should have them..there is a difference and beside Luka and I haven't been together long enought to talk about a subject like that and I would hope that if it does come up that we can talk about it privately..you don't need to brief him on how I feel."
Maggie scowls at her and clenches her fist in frustration.
"Don't put off having kids because of me...I may have not given you an ideal example of what a childhood should be and don't use the excuse that it might be Bi Polar..because it might not and from what you told me...I think Luka want to have a family again one day and I think he could have that with you..."
Abby stands up and folds her arms protectively across her chest..her neck suddenly feels prickly but she continues anyways.
"Mum...I was pregnant once..but I didn't keep it...I couldn't"
Maggie covers her mouth with her hand...she couldn't believe what she was hearing..."
"I um felt sick one morning and ended up taking a pregnancy test..imagine my shock when it came up positive..I cried for an hour panicked that the baby would be Bi Polar and in Richard's perfect world that wouldn't be acceptable and I had just started my Residency..so I decided that I couldn't do it and I made an appointment and well..I never told Richard which was just as well because it wasn't long after that he started cheating on me ..."
Maggie walks over and hugs her tightly and Abby closes her eyes for a second and lets herself be comforted ..it felt nice.
"Mum...I know you couldn't have helped me..no one could make that decision for me...at the time it was the right thing to do..but it came at an awful time in my life."
Maggie wipes a stray tear away and claps her hands.
"Wow that was a real mother daughter moment...thank you for telling me..I know hard hard it is for you to trust me and I know how much of your life has been wasted on me..but that has to stop and you need to take care of yourself and put yourself first for a change."
Luka walks in the door and is surprised to see them talking in a civil manner.
"Wow... I thought you guys would just be a matted ball of hair on the floor by now ..after two days of bickering I thought when you asked me to leave so you could talk it was because you didn't want any witnesses."
Maggie picks up a cushion and throws it at a surprised Luka..he picks it back up to retaliate and she puts her hand up in protest.
"You wouldn't dare throw a cushion at your possible future mother in law and grandmother of your children would you..?"
Luka loosens the grip on the cushion and averts his eyes to Abby with a confused look on his face.
"So she really did want the box to have a ring in it?"
Abby jabs her mother's arm...(remembering the gift box containing earrings he gave her the other night).
"Mum...if you are gonna stay another couple of days ...you better stop embarrassing me..."
Maggie winks at Luka...."I'll behave...I promise.."
To be continued.....

Dinner for two : part oneIt had been three weeks since Maggie left and at the same time it was if she was still here..everywhere Abby looked there was a reminder of her mother..the goofy magnets she posted on the fridge, the frilly pink hand towels she made for the bathroom and the big brown coffee mugs she bought at a flea market that looked like they could give you lead poisoning..they made a thud noise as Abby dropped them in the bin. " Sorry mom...they are just butt ugly and dangerous..." One mug had a sharp bit on the edge...roughly made on a potter's wheel and only slightly glazed..Maggie only paid $4 for them.... but Abby couldn't keep them any longer. Luka looks up from chopping onions ...his eyes covered by a pair of swimming goggles and Abby bursts out laughing. "What on earth are you wearing those for...?" Luka remains focused on his task and begins to transfer the onions to the fry pan trying to ignore her teasing. "It stops my eyes from stinging..you shouldn't laugh it really works.." Abby holds her sides as she really starts to poke fun at him. "Okay Biggles..so what's for dinner.... is it Croatian sooky bub stew?" Luka shakes his head at her attempts to pick on his casserole...she wasn't always a fan of some of his meals..but at least one person in the relationship could actually cook and occasionally he liked to play that trump card. "Well it is actually going to be a gastronomical event but you wouldn't know about that because you have no culinary expertise and you cook like a caveman..." Abby sensing she has hit a nerve tries to back down...if he gets offended he might not serve her any dinner and at the moment she was starving..even for Croatian gruel casserole..she laughs at her own desperation and can't remember the last time she actully wanted to eat one of his national dishes..but tonight she did and she needed him to know that. "I'm sorry Luka.... I love that you can cook..It's just that I don't always love everything that you cook especially if it still has eyes in it ... I hate eyes they creep me out...but I promise that whatever you cook tonight I will eat heartily and if you don't already have dessert planned ...then I can make that..." Luka let's a little smile creep over his face...he knew she was trying to score points off him. " Hmmm so what's for dessert then....?" Abby winks at him suggestively as she hops up on to the counter next to him. "Me..."To be continued.... (Has anyone seen the movie 9 1/2 weeks ? )
