This is a Carter/Anna Fanfic It is rated PG-13 Disclaimer: These characters are not mine blah...blah..blah.
you've heard it before!



Previously on ER Fanfiction:
Carter goes home to recover from the shooting and gets an infection. Anna blames herself for what happened to Carter but he doesn't blame her.

Background: It has been two months and Carter has fully recovered with occasional chest pains. He has
been back to work for two weeks. Anna and Carter got back together and have been sleeping together for
seven weeks. They go out whenever they can and Anna still lives with him at Weaver's house. Carter hasn't heard from his familly in a year.



" Hey Carter, have you seen the chart for the kid in four?"

" Oh yeah, here it is." He handed Anna the chart. " When do you get off?"

" Seven. You?"

'' Nine. I've been on since 6pm yesterday."

" You need to try something called sleep Carter. When do you do that?"

" Never." He glanced at his watch; 6:55 pm. " I guess this is your last patient?"

" Thank god!! I've seen a lot of kids today." She lowered her voice " Do you want to get dinner tonight?"

" Sure. Pizza okay?"

" I was thinking something more romantic, but pizza will do."

" What do you want on it? I'll pick it up on my way home."

" Pepperoni and mushrooms."

" See you at about 9:30?"

" Bye!" Anna rushed over to exam 4. The little boy just had a cold. She sent him home with a prescription
for amoxicillan. She went to her locker and grabbed her jacket, and left for home.



Carter packed it in at 9 o'clock. He went to the pizza shop and headed to Weaver's. When he walked
through the door, Anna greeted him with a kiss. He returned it and set the pizza on the table. After about
his second piece the doorbell rang. Carter opened the door. There stood his grandmother.

They exchanged greetings and he allowed her to come in. She noticed Anna and apologized for interrupting. Carter
explained that Anna also lived with him and Weaver. Gamma blew up at him. She rarely criticized him, but this made her furious. Carter blew up at her by telling her she was no longer welcome in his life. After a year they had not spoken and the final goodbye was in anger and fury. Her last words starteled him in the least. He had officially been disowned by his family. He was told never again to see Chase's grave. This angered Carter even more!

Anna walked up to him and gave him a hug. He turned to her with tears in his eyes. She knew he had loved Chase. He shrugged her off and went downstairs.

Anna was very worried. Carter was sleeping when Anna went down. She looked at him. She realized that she loved him. She wondered how long it would be until they went deeper in their relationship.

She heard Kerry come home. Anna headed upstairs. Kerry greeted her and inquired about Carter. Anna told her that he was asleep. Kerry started to make dinner. Anna told her she had eaten so Kerry prepared something for herself. Anna went downstairs and noticed Carter was sitting up in bed.

" What did I do?"

" What do you mean?"

" Why have I been disowned? Do you hate me too?"

" I don't know why. And I don't hate you. You should know that."

" Do you love me?"

Anna thought about whether or not to tell him. She decided to. " Yes, I do."

" I love you too. Sorry to put you through this."

" It's no problem. Do you want to talk about it?"

" Not really"

" Okay. Rest well!"

" Lay with me Anna."

" Alright." She lay next to him. She reached out and hugged him. She planted a kiss on his lips. He
returned it passionately.

" Will you marry me Anna?"

" Um, John do you know what you are saying??"

" Yes! I've been thinking about it for awhile and now I just had to ask."

" Then yes, I will marry you."

She giggled and they went to sleep.
