I can't think of an author's note, so I'll forego it this time.
Luka tried his best to open the door quietly, but he found everyone in the living room, wide awake. “She’ll be there at least overnight,” he said to the room. “And then we fought. Again.” “What in the world happened this time?” Susan demanded. “Well, remember that phone call I got yesterday, like, right before you all left with Abby to go to County?” “Yeah. Is that what this is about? Who were you talking to?” “It was Maggie. I may have told her that we were getting married, and there’s a more than likely chance that she’ll be here at 9:00 AM.” “Are you serious?!” Carter gasped, getting in on the conversation. He flashed back to the time he and Abby had had to drive out to the middle of nowhere to get Maggie from some hole-in-the-wall motel. “MAGGIE is coming HERE?” “That’s what I said. What am I going to do? I haven’t seen her so mad, ever! I mean, this is worse than a few hours ago.” “Flowers, candy, something,” Elizabeth suggested. “Oh, and then we found out that Olivia might be Oliver.” “Huh?” everyone in the room grunted. “Coburn was doing an ultrasound to make sure the babies were okay, and then she wasn’t sure that Olivia was a girl. She did a double amnio, since we had an appointment next week anyway, and we won’t get the results back for two weeks.” “Ugh, I remember my amnio,” Susan said. “That wasn’t fun. The woman deserves flowers. Do you think she’d realize if we just combined a few centerpieces?”

Franny, I'm telling you, it's 18! 18 and 5 are totally different numbers!
“How you feeling?” Albright asked ask she walked into Abby’s room. Abby looked up and was shocked to see surgery’s resident bitch standing next to her bed. “Umm, all right, I guess,” Abby mumbled. This was weird, very weird. “So, what brings you here?” “Just came in to see how you were doing. We female doctors have to band together, right?” “Umm, sure, I guess. Isn’t there some sort of surgery that you’re supposed to be doing?” “Not right now. It’s 3:30 AM! The only stuff that comes in at this hour is traumas. But tonight it’s been quiet.” As if on cue, Albright’s pager began going off. “Would you look at that? Saying ‘quiet’ in a hospital is like saying ‘Macbeth’ in the theatre! I’ll be back to talk with you a little more later.” With that, Albright sprinted out of the room, presumably to the ER.

Here it is, the long-awaited (I wish!) update for A Twist of Fate!
Luka had gone up to bed and was settling in when the phone rang. Not wanting everyone else to wake up, he grabbed at the receiver desperately. “This sucks.” “Abby? Huh?” “This sucks. I have nurses coming in every two seconds to check my pulse, and then, like 10 minutes ago, Albright, of all people, comes in and starts talking to me.” “Abby, dušo, you know you can’t leave until tomorrow. I can come in now if you want, though.” Luka chose not to mention that she had thrown him out less than an hour before. “Would you? And could you bring that pint of ice cream that’s been sitting in the fridge? I forgot how nasty the jell-o is here.” “Of course. I know all about the jell-o. Give me half an hour. I’ll see you then. Volim te.” “I love you too, Luka,” Abby said before hanging up. She wondered why he had taken to saying “volim te” all of a sudden. She knew it meant “I love you”, since she had asked him once, but out of the blue, Luka had stopped saying “I love you”, instead substituting “volim te”. “Dr. Kovac?” an OB nurse inquired as she opened the door. Abby couldn’t help but smile when she realized that when the nurse said “Dr. Kovac”, she was referring to Abby. “I need to check the monitors…again.” Abby managed another slight smile, and tried her best not to look exasperated as the nurse looked at the fetal monitors and recorded the readings. “Is there a remote in here?” Abby asked. She was bored to tears, and decided that even watching infomercials would be better than staring blankly ahead at the wall like some sort of zombie. “Yeah, top drawer of your nightstand,” the nurse replied as she left. Abby looked at the clock. It was 3:45. Luka would get there by 4:15 at the earliest. It was going to be a long night.

So, this is purely me having a little bit of fun with EVERYONE's FAVORITE characters... Refer back to "Quintessence of Dust" to see where this sparked from.
Luka opened the door to Abby’s room slowly, and wasn’t shocked to see her asleep. He tiptoed over to her bed and placed the pint of ice cream she had asked for and a “Rent” DVD on her nightstand. They had seen the movie together before they found out Abby was pregnant, and she had fallen in love with it. Luka’d purchased it the week before with the intention of watching it with her on the plane on the way to Honolulu, but now seemed like a good time to let her have it, too. Luka sat as silently as possible next to Abby’s bed, trying his best not to wake her. Abby had woken the moment Luka had walked through the door. She kept her eyes only slightly open, hoping he wouldn’t notice. Abby peered at the item placed on the nightstand beside the ice cream, trying to figure out what it was. She watched as Luka sat by her bed, and couldn’t help but smile. “I saw that, missy,” Luka grinned. “Okay, so you caught me,” Abby admitted, sitting up slowly. “What’s that next to the Neapolitan?” “Not yet,” Luka said devilishly, snatching the DVD off the nightstand. He leaned in to kiss her when he heard someone opening the door. He and Abby looked up to see Albright standing at the door. “Oh, um, if I’m interrupting, I guess I’ll just come back later,” the surgeon stuttered. “No problem, Jessica. Do you mind if I call you Jessica?” Abby said cheerily (as cheerily as she could, considering it was 4:15 AM). “That—that’s fine. Umm, do you think I could talk to you, alone?” Jessica looked at Luka, and then back at Abby. “Sure. Luka, babe, could you go find me some form of hot chocolate?” Luka knew when he wasn’t wanted. “Yes, of course.” He got up and slid past Albright and out the door. Jessica walked over to Abby’s bed and sat in the chair previously occupied by Luka. “I really didn’t know who else to come to and well, we’re kind of in the same situation, and—“Jessica gushed before Abby cut her off. “Same situation? Slow down, and explain to me exactly what this situation is,” Abby said calmly. “I—you—ugh, let me just spit it out. I’m pregnant.” Abby couldn’t believe her ears. Albright was pregnant? “Who’s the father? Do I know him?” she asked incredulously. “Well, yeah. Let’s just say that if he’s the King, then that makes me the Queen of the Idiots. And believe me, that title’s well deserved.” “Wait? King of the Idiots?” Abby was stating to put the facts together. “Morris?! Oh my God!” “Shh! I don’t need the whole hospital to know!” “Know what?” Luka chimed in as he came back into the room. “Ohh, um, nothing,” Abby tried to cover. “Well, Jess, I’ll just write down my cell number and you can call me later, okay?” “Thank you so much, Abby. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Can you say mega-hiatus? I haven't updated in Oz-knows-how-long, but there'll be another update later tonight or tomorrow, I PROMISE!
“Any time, Albright.” Abby watched as Albright hustled out of the room, and then she looked back to Luka, who was standing in a corner, looking confused. “What was that about?” he asked. “Oh, uh, nothing,” Abby lied. If there was one thing she would never do, it was betray a friend’s trust. Abby shivered as she thought of Albright a friend. She decided to think of her as just a coworker for now, at least. “Now,” Luka said as he set the hot chocolate on the nightstand. In one swift motion, he also swept the Rent DVD behind his back. “I have something for you. I’ll let you have three guesses.” Abby decided to have a little fun. “Uhhh, an elephant.” “Nooo…” “Another glass frog?” “Think bovine.” “A cow? You got me a cow?” “Well, Elsie, the cow from Cyberland, anyway,” Luka laughed as he handed Abby her DVD. He wanted nothing more than to see her eyes light up, and he wasn’t disappointed, especially when he was rewarded with a kiss. “Ooh, let’s waaaaaatch…” Abby trailed off as she made no effort to stifle a yawn. Luka laughed and suggested that maybe she should go to bed, and Abby was more than happy to comply. “Volim te, and good night,” Luka whispered as Abby drifted off into sleep, with one hand resting on her ever-growing stomach. He watched his wife sleep, and couldn’t remember a time when he had been happier. This wasn’t exactly how they’d planned to spend their wedding night, but they were together, and that was all that mattered.
