I think I might be cured from the debiliating condition "Tenses Dyslexia" Maybe cured I dont know...
Anyway imagine what they would be like in 20 years time when they are 50-something years of age... If there is not enough Luby in this fic, just move it to the other section... There is more of Abby Wabby in this if thats ok?
This story starts with a baby who is now a man who was in ER season 11... Dont let that beginning mislead you, The story is not about him, just an excuse to start the story with hahaha!
One last thing, I wrote this story long while ago and decided to revamp it up...
Oh yes, I think this alternative universe isn't it? When you imagine what is going to happen to them even though you refer things that have happened? Ill shut up now!
Cosmo Lewis-Martin walked through the automatic doors and into the ER of County General. It was the hospital he had grown up hearing about. It was the place his Mother had called home for many years. He made his way through the hallway, dodging the gurneys and patients that were situated on the edges of the wall.
The admit desk seemed abandoned. There was no clerk, only files and papers stacked in random piles on the counter. Cosmo glanced to his left and right, but saw no one. “Hello?” he said.
There was no answer. He glanced around uncomfortably and tugged on the edge of his blue button-up shirt before smoothing the rest of it out.
“Can I help you?” a man in his late twenties asked over the music he was listening to on his iPod.
“Uh, yeah, today’s my first day.” Cosmo looked uncomfortably at the man who was now shuffling papers behind the admit desk.
“Right,” the clerk said, “let me get somebody for you.” He looked down the hallways and then sighed. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Someone will be right with you.”
Cosmo rested his elbows against the edge of the counter. The ER rotated around him. Nurses moved about on invisible missions and Cosmo watched as chaotic patterns began to emerge through the bustling hallways. A firm nudge brought him out of his observations. He turned to see a woman in her mid-fifties standing next to him. She smiled at him, and then stretched out her hand.
“Mr. Martin?” She asked
Cosmo nodded and shook her hand.
“I’m Doctor Lockhart, the chief of the ER. But don’t let that scare you.”
Cosmo recognised her right away. She looked just as she did in his Mom’s old photos. The years had been kind and Cosmo felt a little weird about thinking so. Sure, there were the lines around the eyes and mouth, but by today’s standards she still looked good.
“Nice to meet you Dr. Lockhart,” he replied.
“So Mr. Martin, what’s your first name?” Abby placed her hands into her lab coat and moved behind the admit desk. “George, where are the orientation packets for new med students?”
“Abby, you don’t know who I am do you?” He asked.
Abby looked up and stared at him. She hadn’t told him her first name. “No” She replied in a low tone and shook her head.
Cosmo smiled, he figured the New York accent threw her off a bit. “You knew me when I was a toddler”
Abby chuckled. “I’ve known a lot of toddlers in my time”
“I’m sure you have,” Cosmo took a small step back, “but you were really good friends with my Mom.”
“Your mom?” Abby tweaked a little smile and narrowed her eyes to think for a moment. “Martin?” She looked at Cosmo again. “Cosmo? Susan’s Cosmo?”
Cosmo nodded and laughed.
“You look so much like your mom,” Abby walked around and stood by Cosmo. “You’ve got her eyes. Well wow umm… how is your Mom?”
“She’s good; she runs a free clinic in Long Island,” Cosmo said. He ran his hands through his shaggy brown hair, “you know she’s getting into town today, some conference.”
“I’d love to see her again.” Abby leaned against the admit desk. “I can’t remember the last time I saw her.”
“I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem, she would be thrilled to see you again.”
“I see you’ve followed in her footsteps then?”
“Yes,” Cosmo smiled and ran his hands through his hair again.
Abby’s pager began to beep. “I’ve got to go to trauma 3. Dr Novino, our chief resident, will be with you shortly to show you around,” she said “I’ll catch you later.”
“Thanks, I’ll see you later.” Cosmo watched Abby walk down the hall and then resumed watching the happenings of the ER.

Cosmo walked out of exam 2, still writing on his chart. He hadn’t truly believed the stories his Mom had told him throughout the years, but one shift had shown him how reliable a source his mother actually was. The admit desk now seemed like the epicentre of the ER. Cosmo placed his chart in the appropriate bin and then stretched his arms toward the ceiling.
“Long day?” Cosmo looked up to see his mother standing in front of him with a smile.
“Hey Mom,” Cosmo moved next to his Mom and placed his hand on her back.
“How’s your day going?” Susan rose herself up on her toes to plant a kiss on her son’s cheek.
“A bit daunting, finding my way round and all,” Cosmo shrugged.
“It takes time”
“I met the ER Chief,” Cosmo grinned broadly.
“Nice,” Susan nodded and frowned at her son’s expression. “A female I guess. Oh, Cosmo don’t tell me that you like her.”
“I probably would, if she was thirty years younger.”
“Pleased to hear that,” Susan said.
“I think you and the chief would make a better pair.” Cosmo shrugged his shoulders and nudged his mother.
“What?” Susan asked, giving her son the parental look of wearing patience.
“You can see for yourself,” Cosmo pointed down the hall.
Susan turned to see the woman walking down the hall. Her brown hair was streaked with grey, and pulled up into a loose ponytail. Her white coat swayed with her stride. Susan studied the woman, and then broke into a smile. “Oh my god Abigail Lockhart!”
Abby froze, and stared back at the woman. “Susan?”
“You know it,” Susan and Abby hugged and chuckled with delight.
“How long has it been?” Abby asked.
“Almost twenty years,” Susan replied.
Abby and Susan pulled away from one another, taking another glance at each other. “Looks like life’s been good to you,” Susan said with a smirk.
“You too, I mean, you’ve got some oomph going on back there.” Abby gestured to Susan’s butt.
“Speak for yourself; you should see the size of your ass!” Susan said with a smirk.
“Yeah well it’s the middle aged spread” Abby replied. It was good to hear the subtle snort in Susan’s laugh. It was something that she had been so used to years ago.
Abby and Susan hugged again. Susan couldn’t help but think how good it felt to be with someone who was without agenda, someone who knew her and someone she knew.
“There’s so much to talk about,” Abby finally said.
“That could be an understatement,” Susan said.
“How about coffee? My shift is over in twenty minutes, think you can wait?” Abby looked at her watch.
“I think I can do that,” Susan said. “Is it okay if I wait in the lounge?”
“Of course,” Abby said, “I’ll see you in twenty.” Abby gave Cosmo a squeeze on the arm and then headed toward exam three.
“Happy you came?” Cosmo asked.
“Have I told you that I love you today?” Susan gave him a kiss on the cheek and the headed towards the lounge.
