| *Two Days Later* �So who do you think the father is?� Chuny asked Malik excitedly. �I�m not getting involved in this.� Malik replied rolling his eyes. �Oh come on.� Chuny said annoyed, then turned to Conni. �What about you Conni?� �Hmm�I don�t know if I want to get involved either. But if I had to, I�d put my money on Luka.� �No way! Abby would never go back to him.� Haleh exclaimed. �Well who else would it be?� Yosh asked, joining in the conversation. �Who else is single in this hospital?� Chuny wondered. �How do you know it�s someone at the hospital?� Haleh questioned. �Good morning ladies.� Carter said and whistled as he came into the lounge. �Hey Carter.� Malik gave the other man a high five as he left the room. Suddenly a lightbulb went off in Chuny�s head and she gave Conni a look. �Carter, you�re pretty close with Abby right?� Chuny asked. �Uh, I guess so. Why?� Carter said opening his locker. �Has she been dating anyone lately?� �Um, I don�t think so.� �Oh.� �What are you trying to find out?� �Oh nothing.� �Chuny, I�ve known you for a long time. What gossip are you trying to spread?� John turned and looked at the nurse. �You obviously don�t know me at all, I�m just looking out for Abby�s well-being.� Chuni said defensively. Carter gave her a questioning look before shutting his locker. �Whatever.� Carter shook his head and walked out of the lounge. �I say its him.� Chuny said with a smile after John left. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* �Abby? You here?� John called as he knocked on Abby�s front door a few days later. She had seemed to be avoiding him the past few days. He rarely saw her at the hospital and she hadn�t answered the phone when he had called her. �Come on Abby, I know you�re in there. Please open up.� Carter was about to walk away when the door slowly opened. �Can I come in?� He asked. �I don�t think so John. I know you are excited about the baby, but I told you before that I don�t want you to be involved. I think I�m starting to depend on you too much so I think it�d be best if we don�t see each other as often.� Abby said nervously. �You want that?� Carter asked kind of sadly. �Uh, yeah. I do. Look, I appreciate all you�ve done for me. I really do. But I don�t think it�s fair for me to be a burden on you. You don�t owe me anything. Pretending that you do will only cause both of us more pain later on.� Abby explained. �Oh.� John responded. �So I�ll see you around okay?� Abby said, starting to shut the door. �Yeah, sure.� Carter nodded as the door shut in hit face. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
