Carter propped himself up on his elbows at her question, "Mad! Why on earth would I be mad. Abby," he sat up completely and wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his forehead against hers and whispered, "We're having a baby, that's a wonderful thing. I'm happy, so happy I can't really even think straight right now." He stroked cheek with on of his hands,
"Are you not happy about it, I mean I know it's not ideal or anything but...we've talked about this. You know wanting kids, a family. We wanted to give them sort of the normal family life that we never had. You know you without your mom and me without...well...really anyone, but anyway." He leaned in to kiss her again, "I know it's probably scary and that you have doubts, I mean I know once this euphoric happiness wears off I'm going to be scared out of my mind. But we're in this together and I've seen you with the other kids and I know you'll be a great mother, so don't worry. I'm here with you and I'm not going anywhere."
