It was hard to believe that Lucy was now nine months pregnant and finally married to Carter. The baby was due soon and everyone was excited. Especially, Abby. As the time grew closer, she and Lucy went out shopping for baby stuff and had lots of fun doing it.
*******************
About two weeks later, Lucy came to work, feeling kind of tired. Her back was hurting and her stomach felt sort of queasy. What was going on? About twenty-five minutes after Lucy arrived, a trauma came in involving a little girl named Tiara. Tiara was only five and she was REALLY scared and unsure. Abby calmed her down and had started a conversation with her about "My Little Pony". As Lucy started putting the IV fluids in, she felt a strange feeling go through her. "Maybe you should step out," Abby suggested. "I can handle it." "Are you-" Lucy was interrupted when a rush of dizziness came over her. "Here, sit down," Abby instructed her friend firmly. "I think I'm gonna be sick," Lucy said truthfully. Abby nodded as she realized what was happening. Lucy was in the early stages of labour. "I'll get you a basin, just come here and sit down." Abby replied quickly. Lucy nodded. After she was sitting in a chair, Abby got a bucket and brought it over to her. "What's going on?" Lucy asked nervously. "I felt fine when I came in. A little tired, but fine." "Is your back hurting at all?" Abby asked as she held the basin to the side, having it ready in case Lucy did started vomiting. Lucy nodded. "A little, why?" Abby smiled a half smile. "I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you're in the early stages of labour." "WHAT?!" Lucy asked, half happy, but more nervous than anything. "How could I be in-" She was interrupted when the nauseous feeling started to get stronger. A few minutes later, she started throwing up. As Abby held the basin in front her and helped her to sit up straight, she beeped the buzzer for back-up. "What's going on?" Aerial asked as she came in and began taking over Tiara's care. "Lucy's in labour and she just started vomiting. I need to take her to exam five and get her situated. Tell Weaver that neither I nor Lucy will be available for the rest of the night." Aerial nodded and paged Carter, Mallucci and Araina to come and give her a hand. Lucy sighed with relief as the nausea started to dim down a little. She knew she would all right with Abby helping her. But she also knew that she was far from out of the woods.
