carter kneeled by a grave. The tomestone read:Lucy Anne Knight

**How could I let this happen?** It had been a year now. Carter was back from Atlanta. Tommorrow would be Valentines Day. A year ago, his troubles began on this day. He couldn't believe how people were just moving on with their lives. everyone was happy. How could they be happy? Lucy's dead, Carol also left.

Carter-I wish I could go back in time. Change things......

BANG!

Carter woke up.**What's going on?Wasn't I just in the cemetary?"

Chuni popped her head in

Chuni-we've got a MVA trauma coming in.eta 2 minutes

Carter-uh, yea.......**this is so familar**

Chuni-you okay?

Carter-yea, just fine

Carter walked outside and read the board. Then, a name caught his eye.

Carter-Jerry, please, take Lucy's name off of the board. I can't bear to look at it.

Jerry-what'd she do to you this time?

Carter looked at Jerry in disbelif.

Carter-Jerry, please.........

Jerry-well, she hasn't discharged him, has she?

Now Carter was extremely confused. Carter looked at the board again. Once he read her patient he gasped.

Carter-Jerry, what's today?

Jerry-uh, Valentines Day

Carter-the year, Jerry, the year!

Jerry-uh, 2000(I really don't remember the date, sorry!)

Carter-oh my god, it's happenening again....

Jerry-what's happening? Should I get Weaver? Hey Carol, go get...

Carter-Carol?

Carol walked up to Carter

Carter-what's going on? Are you okay Carter. You look a little pale.

Lucy walked up to the desk.......

Lucy-Dr.Carter? I need you to help me with a patient in 3.

Carter-Lucy? Oh my god.

Carter ran up to her and gave her a hug.

Lucy was bewildered, as well as Carol and Jerry.

Lucy-are you okay?

Carter-Lucy, I want you to stay away from that patient. I'll take care of him.

Lucy-no, he's my patient! DOn't you trust me? Just because

Carter-Lucy, I'm serious. Let me handle it

Lucy-no! He's my patient.

With that Lucy walked away.

Carter ran to the phone

Carter-Hello, yes, I'd like psych down here. yes, it's an emergency

Carol-Carter?What are you dong?

Carter-I'm getting a psych consult for Lucy's patient

Carol-you haven't even seen him yet?! And didn't you hear what she just said?

Carter-yes, but he's dangerous!

Carol-how would you know?

Carter-trust me, I know. Do me a favor, get him on restraints. Now! Where's Amira?

Amira-right here

Carter-where's the knife?

Amira-what knife?

Carter-the 8 inch butcher knife that we're going to use to cut the cake!

Amira-how did you know that?

Carter-where is it?!

Amira-uh, lounge......

Carter ran to the lounge. He looked around and finally spotted the knife

Carter took the knife and hid it in a closet.Carter then walked out of the lounge and bumped into Mark.

Mark-uh, Carter? I've been hearing some complaints about you. Are you okay?

Carter-no, I want Lucy to stay away from that patient in 3.

Mark-is he your patient?

Carter-no, but he's dangerous

Mark-Carter, he's Lucy's patient. Not yours.

Carter-I know but

Mark-no buts

Carter walked to exam 3. He looked on the bed andfound no one.

Carter saw Carol walking by.

Carter-where's the patient?I thought I told you to put him on retraints!

Carol-Lucy didn't want them. Where's he go?

Carter went to find Lucy......

Carter finally spotted Lucy in the lounge

Carter-Lucy!

Lucy-how dare you order a psych consult. And restraints! without my permission. as hard as it is for you, you'd better believe that he's my patient! HOw can I become a doctor if you take my patients for me?!

Carter-you're not going to become a doctor

Lucy-what?! Are you going to fail me?! I can't believe this!

Carter-no......you're going to die.

Lucy was now serious

Lucy-what did you say?

Carter-that patient in 3. He's going to take a knife and stab you. To death.

Lucy got even angrier now.

Lucy-I don't believe this! How would you know anyway?

Carter-I came from the future

Lucy-I've had enough of this!

Lucy walked out of the lounge.

Carter quickly calculated the hours. He came up with Lucy was probably stabbed at 7:00.

7:00.................

Carter ran to Exam 3

He saw blood on the floor.

Carter-oh no, I'm too late. Security!!!

**Paul's probably behind the door. Waiting for me........**

Security arrived and walked in. Carter followed.

Carter could see the door move.

Carter-watch out!

The two men(security) turned around quickly and grabbed the knife from Paul's hands. The other guy took ahold of Paul and led him down the hall.

Carter-I need a gurney!!!

Carter raced over to the bedside, expecting to find Lucy. He looked at the bedside and found no one.

**what? what's going on?**

Kerry ran in with Dave and a gurney

Kerry-what happened?

Carter-uh, I don't know. Lucy's patient was in here with a knife. But I can't find Lucy.

Suddenly, Lucy came flying in.

Lucy-what happened?

Carter ran up to her and hugged her tightly, vowing to never let her go.

BANG!!!

Carter woke up suddenly with a start.

**oh, it was just a dream. Lucy's dead no matter what**

"Come on John, we've got to get to work!"

**Whose voice was that? It sounds so familar**

Suddenly a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes walked into the room.

"daddy, come'on. I gotta get to preschool"

**She looks so much like Lucy. Daddy?**

Suddenly, she walked into the room

Carter-Lu..cy...?

Lucy-yes John

Carter-what's going on?

Lucy-uh, we've got to get Cassidy to pre-school and we've got to get ourselves to work.

Carter-oh....uh, yea.

Lucy walked over to Carter, who was still confused. Lucy kissed him lightly on the lips.

Lucy-does that help?

Carter suddenly remembered his wedding and Cassidy's birth.

Carter-oh yea.......
