The In-Laws
Previously on ER - Arranging to meet the in-laws
LUCY AND HER PARENTS(DAD - MICHAEL AND MOM - BARBARA) ARE WALKING
UP THE CARTERS DRIVEWAY
Try to look normal, Lucy tells herself
She was glad they hadn't noticed she had put on a bit of weight, that's you Kellie Lian, she thought
She smiled when she thought of her, she had been doing that a lot lately,especially when she
thought of John. It also gave her a tingly feeling inside, she knew it must be love.
Lucy's put on a bit of weight, Barbara thought
They all arrive at the front door and Lucy rings the bell. It is opened by John.
Hi, Carter says.
He kisses Lucys cheek.
Come in, he tells them, my parents are in the dining room
He takes their jacket.
I'm John, Carter says
I'm Barbara, Lucy's mom says
I'm Michael, Lucy's dad says
They all shake hands
The dining room is in there, Carter says pointing to a door
They leave Carter and Lucy alone
Are you nervous? she asks
A bit, you, he asks
Alot, she tells him
It'll be fine, he tells her
He takes her hand and they enter the dining room
The parents are sitting talking, they have already been introduced
Ah, we were wondering what was talking you so long, Carter's mom(Veronica) says
Carter and Lucy go and sit down
So why are we here John? his dad(John II) asks impatiently
Lucy and I have something to tell you, Carter tells them
What?
We're getting married! he says
That's great/Congratulations etc, everyone tells them
We have something else to tell you, Carter says
I'm pregnant, Lucy says
They all look shocked, but happy except for Carters dad
Congratulations, Michael says
Yeah, congrats, Carter and Lucy's mom says
John can I have a word? John II asks
Ok, Carter says
They both leave the room
ANOTHER ROOM
John, just because you got her pregnant, it doesn't mean you have to marry her, his father tells him
WHAT?! Carter asks
We can just give them money, John II says
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU! CARTER EXPLODES, I AM MARRYING LUCY BECAUSE I LOVE HER NOT BECAUSE SHES PREGNANT!
John I - his father says
DON'T TALK TO ME! CARTER YELLS AT HIS FATHER.
Carter storms out
DINING ROOM
Carter storms in. He walks through the dining room
John, Lucy calls out
She goes after him, he is sitting at the bottom of the stairs woth his head in his hands. She goes over
and sits with him
I'm sorry, he says, You didn't hear that did you?
Yeah, you're mom looked really embarrased, she tells him
I'm sorry you had to hear that, he says apologetic
You don't need to be sorry. I know that you're with me because you love me and our baby, not just because
of the baby, so I don't care what anyone else thinks. It's what you and I thinks that counts
You know what, that's why I love you, because you don't care what anyone else thinks, he says and kisses her
Is that the only reason? Lucy asks him
No, you're great in bed too, he says mischieviously(sp?)
She hits him on the arm
No but seriously, I love you for everything about you, he says seriously
Ditto, she says and they kiss :o) They break apart.
I'm bored, do you wanna leave? Carter asks her
What do we tell the others? Lucy asks
I'll just tell them you're not feeling well, Carter says
He gets up and goes into the dining room. He is in there for a couple of minutes then he comes back out again
They hope you feel better soon, Carter tells her
They both get up and leave
LUCY'S DORM
Carter is lying on Lucy's bed with Lucy lying against him, their hand are laced together.
Suddenly Lucy tenses up and Carter notices it and gets worried
What is it Luce honey? Are you okay? he asks worriedly
Yeah I'm fine, the baby just kicked, she says happily
Really? he asks excited
Yeah, she says
She takes his hands and puts them on her stomach. After a couple of minutes he smiles and looks at Lucy lovingly
They kiss
