Scene Opens:

Carter is giving Lucy the test to see if she matches her half- sister.

Carter: Okay Lucy this might hurt a bit (Sticking her with a needle in her butt)

Lucy: “OUCH” did you say a little bit? Man that hurt more then a little bit.

Carter: I’m trying to be gentle.

Lucy: I know you are, but it still hurts.... Carter I’m scared.

Carter: Don’t worry we don’t even know if you are a match. Please don’t get mad at what I’m going to say, but I hope you don’t match.

Lucy: I'm not mad Carter I know why you would say that, but it’s not Megan’s fault she is sick and It’s not right if I don’t at least try to help her.

Carter: I don’t want anything to happen to Megan. I don’t want her to die, but I don’t want you to go through this. It could be dangerous.

Lucy: It’s going to be okay really.

Carter: Ok I’m done I’ll send this to the lab along with the fax from you father with Megan’s results.

Lucy: Thank you John. Thanking for doing this for me.

Carter: (Kissing Lucy on the forehead) I will always be here for you. I love you and being here with you is the only thing I want to do.

Lucy: (Smiling) how long do you think it will take before we get the results back?

Carter: I’ll put a rush on them ok.

Lucy: That would be great. I just hate to wait.

With a quick kiss Carter leaves to go to the lab. While Lucy sits in the lounge to call her mom.

Lucy: Are you sitting down?

Mom: Great this can’t be good, ok I’m sitting down.

Lucy: Mom I got a letter yesterday at work. It was from dad.

Mom: (Silent)

Lucy: Mom are you there?

Mom: The baster what the hell did he want?

Lucy: I know this is going to be hard to take in. He is marry and has 3 kids.

Mom: I can’t believe after 26 years he writes you to tell you that.

Lucy: His daughter has Leukemia and needs bone marrow.

Mom: NO! NO! NO! Don’t even tell me he wants your help to save her. I won’t let you do that.

Lucy: It’s not your decision it’s my and I made it already. I can’t sit by knowing that just maybe I could help Megan. She is only 12years old and it’s not her fault she is sick. So just because he was never there for me doesn’t mean I wont be there for her. If I can help her I will.

Mom: (Crying) you are so strong. I’m so proud of you. I don’t think I could do that. I love you Lucy.

Lucy: I love you mom. Don’t worry John is helping me through this. So everything will be okay.

Mom: Okay I guess there is nothing I can say to change your mind.

Lucy: No mom there is nothing. I need to get back to work I’ll call you later.

Mom: Ok sweetie, Give Carter my love. Bye

Lucy: I will mom. Bye.

Mark: Is she ok?

Carter: Yeah... You see she got a letter from her dad yesterday.

Mark: That’s why she looked so upset yesterday.

Carter: Yes. Well to make to long story short. Her 12-year-old sister needs Bone Marrow and I gave her the test to see if she was a match.

Mark: She did, didn’t she?

Carter: Yes... She will need to go to Michigan for a few days.

Mark: I think we can do without her for a week.

Carter: Can you do without me?

Mark: What do you mean?

Carter: I need you to be able to do without me too. I need to go with Lucy.

Mark: Carter are you going to tell me something I don’t want to hear. Carter: Yes.... I know this is not going to make you happy, but Lucy and I have been living together...

Mark: (Stopping Carter before he could finish) I don’t want to know this Carter you know this not good.

Carter: I know Mark, but I love her and I want to go with her. I need you to understand.

Mark: Ok this stops here I don’t want to hear anymore. We will just have to deal with this when you two get back from Michigan.

Carter: Thank you Mark.

Mark: Don’t thank me yet. I’ll take care of the time off. You just take care of Lucy.

Carter: Anything you want Luce.

They make their way to the bedroom and go to bed. While lying next to each other. They began talking.

Lucy: John I’m scared.

Carter: I know , but everything will be okay.

Lucy: I don’t know why I’m so scared. I think I’m more worried about meeting my dad.

Carter: I don’t blame you It can be hard meeting a man after 26 years that is your father. Not knowing what to expect is the hardest.

Lucy: I don’t know if I should be mad or hurt with him. I’m just not sure how to react to this whole thing.

Carter: Just be what every you think you should be. He can’t expect you to be there with out arms.

Lucy: I guess your right. But for now I just want to help Megan.

Lucy moves closer to Carter and gives him a kiss goodnight. Lucy falls asleep. For a while Carter just watches Lucy sleep and soon his eyes began to close.
