Chapter 1 "Help me," cried out a young teenager no older than 16 years. "My girlfriend." he said holding on to dear life to his bleeding girlfriend who looked about 9 months pregnant. "John," the girl mumbled. "Dr. Carter," she said. Susan and other doctors came to them but they didn't hear the girl's soft whispers of Carter's name. "She having a baby," the boy said. "We can see that," said Susan as the girl was carried to the exam room. "Carter, John," she said in a last try but this time Susan heard her. "Get Dr. Carter down here now," In a matter of seconds John was there. "What do we have?" he asked. "Teenage girl, brought in my her boyfriend, bleeding a lot and she's pregnant. Oh did I forget to mention that she was calling you," "What?!" "Yeah, do you know her?" she asked as they walked into the room and John saw the girl. "Oh my god," "What?" "That's my sister," Chapter 2 Dr. John Carter entered the room of his sister, Natalie Carter. "Natalie Jennifer Carter," he stated. "John Truman Carter," she returned. "What have you gotten yourself into now?" he asked as he surveyed his sister. She was very pale as if all the blood had been drained from her face and body. He thought and reminded himself that most of it had. His question was a comic one but no comedy was portrayed in his face or voice. "You tell me you're the doctor," It was a statement not a question. "Well we had to do an emergency C-section because your uterus ruptured but we were able to save it. You lost a lot of blood, Nat. You came in bleeding to death, almost anyway," "What about my baby," she asked as if that was the only thing that mattered. He again reminded himself he probably was to her. "Healthy, baby boy, 6lbs 2oz.," "Good," she said as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders maybe he wasn't the only thing."I could never have forgiven myself if something happened to him," never mind. Her voice was weak and timid she was still sacred of John. He had yet to give his opinion. "Where's Ryan," she asked. "Who?" "Ryan Taylor the guy who came in with me," "After we told him you were stable he jet setted out of here," "Really," she said with no sign of emotions almost like she expected his answer. "You want to see the baby," John asked suddenly. She nodded. As if on cue a nurse came in with the baby cart, which was labeled, 'Carter, Baby Boy'. Without asking John picked up the child and handed him to his mother. "My baby, My Alec," she said to her new son. "Alec?" asked John. "I always liked the name," she responded. I never thought that I would have needed it so fast," "Alec Taylor," "No, Alec Daniel Carter," "Not Taylor," "No, I am not giving credit to a guy who just stayed because he was guilty and ran at the first sign of trouble," "Alec Daniel Carter," John said in almost a whisper. "My nephew," Chapter 3 "So why are you here?" John asked. "I just had a C-section," she said appalled. "No, not that here, in this city," he said. "I was kicked out," Color was back in her cheeks. It had been a few days since she had come into the ER. "You were?" asked John almost unbelieving. "Yeah, for some reason mom and dad weren't too happy when their overachieving only daughter told them she was knocked up. That's crazy, right," she said. " They gave me the 'you had such a bight future speech'," "You did," "I still do," "Yeah with help," "Why do you think I came here John?" she asked. "To hear you tell me what I had and now don't. Too many people have told me that. My friends, mom, dad, even Ryan, I guess that's how I knew he wouldn't stick around. John I want to tell you a story when I was about 4 � months along I almost ended it. I was waiting and they called my name, then do you know what happened," "No," "He kicked for the first time. That's when I knew everything was going to work out and I was going to be okay because I love Alec he is me," "It's going it be hard," "Does look like a face that cares?" Chapter 4 "Hi I'm Dr. Kovac," "I'm Natalie Carter, pleased to meet you," She said with a smile. He was easy on the eyes and she was a little flirt. "I heard about you," "Really?" "I wanted to meet you," "Why?" "I wanted to see if you were like him," This time Luka made eye contact with Nat as she did the same thing. He looked at her and took in everything. Her big, bight brown eyes and long black hair. Her pink face with cubby cheeks and rounded chin; she was partly smiling with no teeth showing and looked mildly weak. Her dimples were showing. "Do I look like my brother?" "Yeah, but better," That made her blush. "Thank you," "I hear you're getting out soon," "Yeah I really want to get school over with," "What are you 12th grade?" "More like 2nd year college," "Really?" "Yup, then off to pre-med," "So, you're going to be a doctor?" "No, I hear pre-med is fun," "I'm sorry dumb question," "Miss Carter," said a nurse. "Your baby," "This is your baby?" "Yeah, again dumb," "question, I know. He is cute," Luka said. "Thanks, his name is Alec," "Hi, Alec," "Why are you here?" "Your brother being the caring person he is sent me here," "Oh," "You want to feed him now," "Yes," "So, you want me to go," "That would be nice,"
