Abby and Richard have been divorced for almost 2 years. They have a son named Charley. He's 2 years old. Abby is a doctor at county.
Richard walked into County with Charley on his hip. As he stood at admit, Charley started squirming and he set him down. "You stay there." Charley looked around and then walked away. Richard began hitting the counter to get someone's attention and didn't even notice his son leaving.
Luka was walking into exam 3 when something ran into his leg. He looked down to see a toddler. "Ow." Charley said inspecting his hand. He grabbed onto Luka's pant leg and pulled himself up.
"Chuny..I think someone lost a baby." Charley looked up at him and waved. "Hi!" Luka smiled and waved back at him. "Hi..Where's your mommy or daddy?"
"I don't know." Luka was very impressed with how well he could speak and got down so his new friend wouldn't strain his neck looking up. "I'm Luka, Whats your name?"
"Charley."
"Well Charley...I think we should try to find your mom." Suddenly a smile spread across his face as he spotted Abby. "Mommy!" He yelled and Luka stood up as the little boy ran past him."Charley!" Abby yelled back as she saw her son running through the busy ER.
"Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!" He yelled until he reached Abby. She bent down and scooped him up, swinging him into the air. He laughed and screamed in excitement.
Luka smiled as he saw them. He didn't know she had a kid. Abby was holding him above her and they were doing Eskimo kisses. She brought him down and held him on her hip. He wrapped his arms around her neck and rested his head on her shoulder.
"I missed you baby!"
"I miss you!" Charley said pointing at Abby.
"Where's daddy?" She asked walking into the lounge with him.
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Did you walk away from him?"
"yes, I did.." He said giving her a sly smile.
"Baby..you can't do that." Charley giggled and she set him down giving him a truck out of her locker. As she got herself a coffee he rolled it around the room. Luka walked in and Charley stopped the truck at his feet and looked up at him. "Hi, Luka."
Abby turned around and looked at Luka, who was bent down at Charley's level and talking to him. "I see you found your mommy."
Charley nodded and looked over at Abby who was leaning on the counter drinking her coffee and smiling at the sight of them.
"Thats good."
"Yeah..I love mommy."
"I bet she loves you too...is it ok, if I go talk to her?"
Charley thought for a minute and then nodded his head. "Ok."
Luka stood up and walked over to Abby. Charley started rolling his truck around the lounge."I didn't know you were a mommy..I mean I knew you were divorced..but I didn't know you and Richard had a baby." Luka said pouring himself some coffee. "Yep...I'm a mommy."
"How old is he?"
"28 months."
"He talks very well."
"Yeah..He's a pretty smart kid...He learns really fast....how did you two meet?"
"Oh...he ran into my leg, and fell backwards...we talked for a little while...Do you think Richard is freaking out, looking for him?"
"Oh my god..yeah, probably...I should go find him...Charley, come here sweetie..we have to go find daddy."
"I wanna play."
"You can play later..come here."
"No."
"Charley." Abby said firmly.
"Mommy."
"Come on."
"I wanna play." Charley whined.
"I know you do babe, but we ha-"
"I'll stay here with him." Luka said putting his coffee down.
"Yeah?" Abby asked looking to Luka. "Yeah."
"He is a handful..he wanders..he climbs..."
"We'll be ok..go."
"Ok..Charley you be good."
"I will."
Abby walked out of the room and found Richard running through the ER, looking behind every curtain..She wondered how long it took him to notice Charley was gone...when he lost him at the toy store..he notice for 10 minutes. "Lose someone?" Abby asked crossing her arms. "I turned around for a second..and he was gone." She nodded her head..not believing him. "Mhm...well, You can stop looking..he found me."
"God..You need to teach him how to listen."
"Oh..right the only thing you can teach him is how to say 'shit'."
"I didn't teach him to say that, he copied me! and its not the point Abby...he doesn't listen."
"He does too. He listens to me, when I tell him to stay put."
"Oh, thats right, you are the perfect parent."
"I didn't say that!"
Abby and Richard continued arguing and back in the lounge Luka was sitting on the couch, and Charley had left his truck in the corner and walked up to the couch. He rested his chin on the cushion, Luka looked down at him, and watched as he grabbed a book off the table and put it on the floor as a step. When Charley had sat down next to him, he picked the book up and put it back on the table. Luka was signing some charts and Charley leaned over his lap to see them. Luka stopped writing and Charley looked up at him and then sat back up bouncing up and down on the seat.
"You want to learn how to say something."
"What?"
"Volim Te."
"Volminte"
"Vol-" Luka started.
"Vol-" Charley repeated
"-im"
"-im"
"Te."
"Te."
"Volim Te." Luka said it all together.
"Volim Te."
"Good job...tell that to your mom when she comes in."
"Why?"
"It means I love you."
"How?"
"Its Croatian...Another language."
Charley scrunched up his face and looked at him confused..."Volim Te." He said again. Luka nodded. He went back to his charts and heard Charley keep saying it over and over to himself. Abby and Richard walked in and he jumped off the couch. Richard looked at him, an angry look on his face. Charley turned his attention back to Abby and pulled on her lab coat. She squatted so she was eye level with him and he looked at Luka and then back at her.
"Volim Te."
"What?" Abby said confused.
"Volim te." Charley repeated.
"Whats that baby?" She asked brushing his cheek
"Means..I love you....its Cromatian!"
Keep going?
