Part 6 Part 6

By: Mystery Girl

The next morning Lucy got up before Carter. She took a shower and changed into navy blue sweatpants and a gray spaghetti strap tank top. She contemplated in her mind whether to make breakfast or not. No, she decided because if she made some she would have to make Carter some and then it would seem if she was letting down on her anger.

She found some cereal and a bowl. As she was walking around she felt a pain near her shin, which made her limp. Carter came down as she was putting the dishes away and saw her limp.

�Come here�

�Why?�

�Can�t you listen to me for once?�

Lucy reluctantly came over.

He pushed up her sweatpants leg and put some balm on it and began to massage the area on which it hurt, near her ankle.

�Kerry told me that you broke some tissue near here and would need to massage it like this twice a day for it to heal faster.�

Lucy was taken aback by his kind gesture for a second. Then she took her leg away and told him she could do it by herself. He got up, made and drank some coffee and got ready for work she presumed. He gave her his pager number and told her to page or call him if she needed something really badly or if in any pain.

The next morning he had a day off and had planned to spend it with Abby, planning the wedding.

�I have and OB appointement at eleven.�

�I can drop you off before I go.�

�Okay, thanks.�

He dropped her off at eleven and waited outside until she was done. Lucy was getting her first ultrasound done and would get to hear her baby�s heartbeat. When she came out she slipped the envelope containing the pictures in her pocket and silently followed Carter outside to his jeep. Abby was outside the apartment complex waiting for him. Lucy decided to not look in Abby�s direction and went straight inside.

�Where were you guys?� asked Abby.

�Lucy had and OB appointment�

�Oh, I see.�

�So how is it living with her?�

�I don�t know, we hardly talk, we just mind our own business.�

�I�m sorry for questioning you Carter but having your fiance living with a previous girlfriend of his who is pregnant with your kid...it just gets your mind thinking.�

�Don�t worry I understand. All you need to remember is that I love you, and only you, we�ll get through this and soon have a family of our own.�

�Carter! No babies for at least four years!�

�We�ll see bout that!� he gave her one of his wicked grins.

They pulled into a floral shop to choose the type of flowers for their wedding.

Lucy wanted to leave this place. She hated living with Carter. Seeing him and Abby together only made things worse. She just didn�t fit into the picture, she felt like an intruder. Kerry had told her to come in for a check up on Saturday and she would decide if she was okay to live alone again. Saturday was still four days away!
