Introductions

The Hospital Maternity ward.

Carter is asleep with his head on Lucy's bed. A nurse quietly comes in.

Carter wakes up. v"Hi" Carter whispers

"Hello Mr Carter" the nurse whispers back

Carter stands up and stretches and then looks at his watch

"God, I have to get down to the ER" Carter says grabbing his jacket "If my wife wakes up will you tell her I'm away down to the ER"

"Yes Mr Carter" the nurse says

Carter gets up and leaves

The ER

"Where the hell is Carter?" Kerry shouts "It's 3pm, his shift is supposed to be starting"

"Calm down Kerry, I'm sure there is a very good reason for Carter being late" Mark tells her

Carter walks in now

"Carter, where the hell have you been?" Kerry asks

"If you hold on a minute and gather everyone together, I'll tell you why" Carter says and goes into the lounge

"I wonder what that's about?" Mark wonders

"Well, stop wondering and get everyone together" Kerry tells him and hobbles away

The Lounge

Everyone is gathered there

"Carter why have you got us all in here?" Kerry asks impatiently

"Well, I just thought you'd like to know, that I am now father!" Carter tells them

Everyone congratulates him

"When did this happen?" Elizabeth asks

"Well, our daughter was born at 3:27 this morning, and she weighed 7lbs and 5ozs" Carter tells them all happily

"Hey it's Valentines Day" Dave exclaims

"Wow, I didn't realise it" Carter sits down "It was one year ago today"

"Well, it's a great way to spend Valentines Day and a happy one year anniversary instead of being all sad and mopey" Dave says

"Oh, we forgot to ask, what's her name?" Jing-Mei asks

"Well, we didn't think she looked like a Kellie so we decided on Isabella Dawn" Carter tells them

"Aww, thats a beautiful name" Elizabeth says all teary eyed

"Hormones" Mark says

Elizabeth looks at Mark

"Ooops" Mark says

"What? You aren't? Are you?" Jing-Mei asks

"Yes, we're having a baby" Elizabeth says

"Congratulations" Carter says

Congratualtions they all say

"Hey Carter, I'm finishing in an hour, would it be okay if I went and visited Lucy?" Abby asks

"Yes, sure, she'd love the company" Carter says

"Hey, Carter, you have the rest of the week off" Kerry says

"Really? Thanks Kerry" Carter says "Well, if you don't mind I'll get back to Lucy"

"Tell her congratulations" Mark says

Lucy's room

Lucy is awake and is cradling the baby

Carter walks in

"Hey Gorgeous, how are you?" Carter asks and walks over to her

"I'm fine, a bit sore, but that's all" Lucy smiles

Carter kisses Lucy

"How's our beautiful daughter?" Carter asks

"She's fine" Lucy replies "Here"

She hands her to Carter

"Luce, she's got your beautiful blue eyes" Carter comments "You know, she looks like you"

"Really? Do you think so? I can't see it" Lucy says

"Hey, I have some news from the ER" Carter says

"Yeah? What?" Lucy asks curious

"Mark and Elizabeth are having a baby" Carter says

"Really wow, that's great" Lucy says

The door opens, Mark and Elizabeth walk in

"Hey guys" They say

"Hey, I hear congratulations are in order" Lucy says with a smile

"Thanks, I could say the same to you" Elizabeth says

Elizabeth goes over to Lucy and gives her a kiss on the cheek

"Carter and I were discussing this earlier and we have a favour to ask of you" Lucy says

"Yes, we were wondering if you'd both do us the honour of being Isabellas Godparents?" Carter asks

"I don't what to say, what am I saying, we'd love to" Elizabeth says and hugs Lucy

"Now, ok then where is that beautiful God-daughter of mine?" Elizabeth asks Lucy laughs

The next day - Carter and Lucy's apartment

Carter opens the door and walks in carrying Lucy's bag. Lucy walk in behind him carrying Isabella.

"I'm finally glad we're home" Lucy says and yawns

Carter puts the bag down and takes Isabella off of Lucy and carries her with one arm and hugs Lucy to him with the other arm

"Come on" Carter takes them to their room where Isabellas cot is

He lays Isabella down and hugs Lucy from behind, his arms round her waist and his head on her shoulder. They stand watching their new baby daughter sleep.

"I love you" Carter says

"I love you too" Lucy replies

Lucy turns around and they kiss
