Larue, please, how can I convince TPTB to read your fic and stop messing up with Luka??? CROATIA, CROATIA!!! Ha! I haven't a clue. I write to SOMEone associated with the show - writers, directors, producers and an occasional actor - almost every week. Have never gotten any kind of response. They must think I am one of those obsessed, creepy fan fiction writers. LOL

Abby tucked a blanket around the sleeping baby in her arms and pressed a gentle kiss to his downy head. She slipped quietly across the hall and opened the door of their bedroom. He was stretched out on the bed under the afghan had spread over him earlier. He hadn’t moved. His splinted hand was resting on his stomach and he hadn’t even taken off the sling. She eased herself carefully down on the bed beside him and leaned against the head board as she slipped her shoes off and pulled her legs in front of her. She adjusted Joe to a more comfortable postion on her chest and sighed quietly. Right here was where she needed to be right now. With her guys.
She turned her head and studied his face as he slept. His cheeks were flushed and he snored softly. She smiled slightly and carefully brushed the dark hair off his forehead. He didn’t even flinch. He was sleeping so soundly. Better than he had in.....weeks. And it wasn’t just the meds he’d finally taken. It was something else. Finally being free of the anxiety that had been consuming him. She hadn’t really been aware. Well, maybe she had. Something had been bothering him but she could never figure out what. Until he’d told her about Curtis Ames. And then they had been at odds about how he had handled it. Was handling it. In the end it didn’t matter. What mattered was that he was safe. Here.
Abby closed her eyes and settled one hand on Luka’s forearm and the other on Joe’s bottom, holding him snugly against her. She could feel the soft rythmn of his breathing as it lulled her to sleep herself. It had been an awful, unsettling and frightening day and night. Snipping at Luka throughout the day about things at work. He was being unreasonable about her interest in a patient. He was alone in Chicago and a nice enough guy. It hadn’t been that unusual to have taken an interest in him, had it? Now, knowing what she did, she wondered about that. The rage she had felt when he said what he had said outside of the bar. The horrible, sickening rage. And all she wanted to do was come home. Talk to Luka about it. Tell him that he had been right all along. But Curtis Ames had been there. Waiting for them. For Luka.
And Luka had been right all along about that as well. No one believed him. No one thought they were really in danger. But he had known. He had known that the whole thing was going to come to this. He had been so calm when he came into the apartment and found them there. She had seen the rage in his eyes.....the terror and the rage. But he had been calm. He knew what he had to do. He had to get Ames away from her. And from Joe. He’d walked out with Ames in order to keep them safe.
She had called the police and they had made her crazy by not going after them. She took them to the hospital. She pulled Ames’ records for them so they would have all of the numbers. And then they had left her. Told her to wait for them. To go home and wait. But she couldn’t. Then Gates had come in with a trauma.....an over dose. Ray and Morris were drawn in to help. There was no one to help her. She was lost in the confusion that was so much a part of her life there. She was alone. Just as she had been for most of her life. Until Luka. Then she saw him.
He was standing near the door of the ER admit area. He was standing there just looking at her. Their eyes caught and held. Brown eyes. His face held a question and her’s resignation. She had taken another copy of the address where she knew Luka would be and gone slowly toward him.
Eddie was quiet in the car. They both knew that this was not the time to try to talk to one another about it. Maybe there would never be a right time. So many things that should be said...and wouldn’t be. All she cared about...could think about...was Luka. Finding him again.
It was Eddie that saw to it that she was able to cross the police lines. She insisted that she was a doctor and could help. But they wouldn’t listen. Eddie was the one that told them her husband was in the house. It was a lie but they let her in. A lie? Maybe not. It didn’t take a ring or words to make them husband and wife....did it? And she waited with them. The police and Curtis Ames’s ex wife.
Her eyes flew open as Luka stirred on the bed next to her and his eyes opened. They met her’s and she smiled.
“Hey there,” she said softly. “Need some more meds?” Luka shook his head slightly and continued to gaze up at her from the pillows. He reached up with his uninjured hand and cupped her cheek for a moment. She smiled and pressed a kiss to his palm and then his hand slipped down to their baby’s back. He patted Joe gently and then looked back at her. He blinked quickly as his eyes filled with tears and he drew in a ragged breath. She leaned down and kissed him.
“It’s over, Luka,” she said quietly as their foreheads touched. “It’s over.”
“Still want to marry me?” he asked, his voice raspy from sleep. “Haven’t changed your mind?” Her smiled widened and she shook her head.
“I thought maybe it was something you said in the fire of the moment,” he sighed.
“Heat...” she said. “Heat of the moment.” He frowned and just shook his head in exasperation. Their eyes met again and her’s began to fill. He reached up and caught a tear on his finger tip. She slid down on the bed till she was lying next to him and she eased Joe onto the comforter between them. They clasped hands, threaded their fingers together over his swollen splinted fingers and gazed at one another. His head rose and his eyes darted to the bedroom door when he heard a door close and the television volume go up slightly.
“It’s okay....” she said softly and tightened her grip on his good hand. “It’s just Eddie. He’s been downstairs all this time. He’s watching out for us. Changing some broken locks too, I think.” Luka frowned slightly. Abby smiled slightly and took a deep breath.
“You are not going to believe this......” she said. “I went to the bar last night....to tell him about his test results and.....” Luka listened quietly as she went on. This was where he wanted to be. Where he belonged. With them. Forever.

Larue, I read this new part of the fic this morning at work, and my eyes were so blurred that everybody was looking at me with weird looks! Kinda : what happened to her??? Split up with her boyfriend??? I just spent the day thinking about the scenes you described, all the time! I couldn't focus on my work! You gave me the most perfect scenario I could have dreamed for MOTH. There was everything: fear, anguish when Abby wants to know if Luka is badly hurt....and finally after this rollercoaster of emotions, the 3 of them...safely at home! And Eddie being protective without doing too much! I wonder how I'll react at this epi in a couple of weeks! I am so freaking out at being disappointed! But, LYN, you gave all of us the scenario of our dreams! HOPE TPTB will be as sensitive as you! ( doubt it btw! ) THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING ME DREAM TODAY of a possible happy ending! Love you!
