I am totally aware of the fact that I haven't updated in days.
Abby’s release from the hospital and the newlyweds’ honeymoon were relatively uneventful. Although the amnio results lingered over their heads for the entire time, Abby and Luka found themselves having fun and enjoying being in Honolulu together. “We might get the results back today,” Abby sighed as they were on their way back to Chicago. “Really?” Luka didn’t really remember what Abby was referring to, but he tried not to show it. “I hope so. I just want to know whether or not the babies will be okay, and, well, whether or not Olivia really IS Oliver.” “Abby, mi æemo poveseliti no matter what, right” Luka had been slipping in and out of Croatian more and more frequently since the carbon monoxide poisoning. Abby had tried to ignore it, telling herself that he just didn’t feel like fishing for the English words. “Huh? Luka, you’re speaking Croatian again. It’s starting to worry me.” Abby grew uncomfortable. The flight was quiet, and many of the passengers were now staring at her. “Really? I’m sorry,” Luka mumbled, leaning over to kiss her. Abby pulled away, seeing through Luka’s ploy to end the conversation. “No, Luka! I know the neuro cleared you after the accident, but I think he missed something. The fact that you don’t even realize it is really scary.” Abby hadn’t noticed that she was crying. Angrily, she snatched the napkin out from under her drink and went to blot her cheeks. Luka reached out to comfort and she slapped his arm away. “No, Luka! I don’t need this! I just need to know that you’re going to be okay.” Sobbing, Abby turned to face the window. Everything was falling apart.

Here's another update. The lack of new ER episodes has kind of renewed my interest in the fanfic.
Luka didn’t know what to do. He wanted to comfort his wife, but he didn’t know how. “Abby…” he whispered. “Come here, sweetheart.” Abby leaned into Luka’s shoulder, still crying, although the sobs progressively became less and less frequent.
“I, I’m sorry, Luka,” Abby sniffled. She felt horrible about blowing up at him like that.
“Shhh, it’s alright, Abby. Just calm down, please.”
“It’s just—I don’t, Luka! This really has me worried, and I HATE that you just try to slough it off like there’s nothing wrong. Something is wrong, Luka, and I know you don’t think so, but I can just feel it.”
“If it’ll make you happy, then I’ll go back to the neuro when we get home and have him look again.”
“Oh, Luka, really? You would do that for me?”
“I’d do anything for you, Abby.” Luka reached out and wiped a tear from Abby’s cheek. She smiled slightly, and Luka couldn’t help but smile along with her. Luka noticed Abby’s eyes starting to flutter shut, and sure enough, she had fallen asleep. Luka folded up the armrest that was between them, and Abby’s sleeping form slumped over onto his body. “Volim te, my darling.”

I have an update, for those of you who care...
“Abby? Abby, my love, wake up,” Luka whispered to his sleeping wife. “Huh? I’m not on call, get someone else!” Abby mumbled, not fully coherent. Luka couldn’t help but laugh. “Abby, we’re about to land, you need to wake up!” Abby sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes. Luka kissed her lightly, and it was all she could do not to melt. Abby smiled and took Luka’s hand. Looking out the window, Abby noticed the bleak, grey Chicago landscape below them, and she missed Hawaii already. “Can we just move back to Hawaii?” “I wish! No, we have a lot going for us in Chicago.” “Fine…” Abby was cut off by an announcement beginning with “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking…” She grabbed her seatbelt and fastened it, and prepared for the landing, when the honeymoon would be over. “Where’s our stuff?” Abby asked Luka, scouring the baggage carousel for their bags. “Maybe they lost it?” Luka supplied, distracted. “They better not have! The only maternity shorts I own are in that suitcase, and I want them back!” Luka couldn’t help but laugh. “So we’ll buy you new shorts. Abby, it’s the middle of April. Do you really think you’ll be needing them in the near future?” “It’s the whole concept, Luka! I didn’t lose any of their stuff; what gives them the right to lose mine?” Luka leaned down and kissed Abby and noticed their baggage coming around on the conveyor. “There, you see? They didn’t lose anything.” He grabbed their bags and kissed Abby again. They went outside, and saw Susan waiting in their car. She had been housesitting for them while they were gone. Abby grinned and waved, but Susan just motioned toward the car. Abby got in as Luka put their baggage in the trunk, and was slightly worried. “Suze, what is it?” “Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Coburn called, and she has the results of your amnio. The bad news is Maggie. She’s sitting on the couch in your living room.”

“WHAT?!” Abby’s scream attracted the attention of everyone in the terminal. “Suze, why the hell didn’t you call?!” “Abby, I did! The front desk said you’d been gone for hours, and I asked them to leave a note.” “That’s was the ‘Call the front desk at your earliest convenience.’ was about?!” Abby motioned out the window to Luka and he got into the car. “What happened? What’d I miss?” Luka’s face resembled that of a lost child. Abby had to admit, in spite of the situation, he was still so cute! “Maggie. She’s in our living room. Hey, Suze, did you happen to notice whether or not she was on her meds?” Abby suddenly had even more to be concerned about. Maggie off her meds was a whole other ballgame. “Well, she was lucid and she knew who I was...how, I don’t know, but she did. I’d say she’s on them.” “Well that’s good…”Abby trailed off as she gazed out the window. They were almost home, the bleak Chicago landscape a grey expanse before her eyes. Susan parked the car in the driveway and Luka helped Abby out and to the front door. She opened it, and immediately her gaze met that of the woman sitting on the couch. “Hi, Mom…”

2 updates, 1 day. Wow.
Maggie leaped off the couch and immediately ran to Abby. “Oh, Abby, it’s so good to see you! Look at you, you’re positively glowing! Oh, and Luka, hi! How are you?” “MOM!” Abby yelled. “What are you doing here?” She couldn’t take much more of this. Already, she knew this arrangement wasn’t going to last. “Never mind about that, when are you due?” “Maggie! STOP!” A stunned silence engulfed the room. Maggie stood before Abby, grinning. Abby, on the other hand, was not so happy. She dropped a hand to her stomach and resisted the overwhelming urge to slap her mother. “Why are you here?” “Abby,” Maggie said, shocked. “You’re my baby and you’re having a baby. How couldn’t I be here?” “Because all hell breaks loose every time you walk back into my life, Maggie! Do you really want the truth? Okay then! I’m pregnant with twins, I’m married, I own a house, and I DON’T WANT YOU!” Abby was on the verge of tears as she fell back into Luka's arms. She cradled her stomach and thought about what to do next. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to call my OB.” Taking Luka by the wrist, Abby stormed off to the kitchen. “That went well, all things considered,” Luka whispered. Abby glared at him, holding the phone to her ear, willing someone on Coburn’s end to pick up. “Dr. Janet Coburn’s office. How may I help you?” a receptionist answered. “This is Abby Kovac, you called earlier with the results of my amnio…” “Oh, Dr. Coburn wanted to talk to you personally. Let me get her” “Okay, thank you.” Luka took Abby’s hand and waited with her. “Hey, Abby? The lab sent back your results. Baby A, Matthew, is perfectly healthy, and most definitely a boy. Baby B is healthy, too, and most definitely female. I was right the first time.” “Really? Thank you so much, Janet!” “No problem, Abby. I’ve got to go, but I want to do a followup from that accident later, okay?” “Sure. Bye!” “Bye!” Abby hung up the phone, grinning. “Well…?” Luka prompted, eager to be let in on the good news. “Both babies are healthy, and Baby B is definitely a girl!” Abby’s eyes began to tear. Everything was finally falling into place.
