"It becomes a morning-after-thing," Kim finished for her.
"And a when-we-see-each-other-in-the-hospital-thing. And a what-do-I-tell-Luka-thing…"
"Not to mention a-how-the-hell-does-Carter-fit-into-this-thing." Abby did a double-take and rolled onto her back, sighing in exhaustion. In response, Kim smoothly entwined her long form around Abby’s slighter length, her head coming to rest on Abby’s stomach. She chuckled at the nurse’s quizzical expression and teased kisses along her lover’s abdomen. "Oh come on, you can’t think I’m the only one people talk about in that hospital? The place is a cesspool for nourishing rumors. Especially one that juicy."
"And they’re saying..?"
"That Carter’s got it bad for you, but you won’t give him the time of day."
"Sounds about right." She snorted. "For once."
Kim lifted her head, blue eyes peering intently at the woman above her. "You let him help you with Maggie," she said by way of contradiction.
"You helped me with Maggie too," Abby pointed out.
"Well… that is sort of what I do for a living." Not bothering to point out the obvious concerning their current situation.
"And you track all patients’ family members down and give them unsolicited advice?"
"Which you weren’t exactly receptive to."
"No…" Abby admitted. "But I took it, just the same."
"I’m glad." The honest sincerity in Kim’s tone brought Abby up short. So much of their time together had been The Art of War in application– feint and parry, advance and retreat. Tonight, however, their lovemaking had confirmed the tenderness that bled through all of her professional interactions was something innate and fundamental to Kim’s core– the cavalier insouciance she projected simply part of a facade protecting… what? Abby wondered, not for the first time.
Without thinking, she pulled Kim towards her, tracing her thumbs lightly down the sharp arc of Kim’s cheekbones, exploring the square cut of her jaw, the tiny cleft in her chin. Golden hair was burnished bronze by the early morning hour; the curls an orchestrated chaos of sorts, showcasing two crystalline eyes and a dazzling mouth.
The face as work of art.
"You’re so very beautiful," she murmured, realizing she spoke aloud only when Kim turned her face into Abby’s palm and pressed a kiss into the heel of her hand.

I have to admit that I stopped watching ER several years ago, but after reading this, two things came to mind. 1. If I could have watched this story, with this dialogue on my TV screen I would still be watching faithfully each and every week. 2. This was a great reminder of why I shouldn’t ever work in a hospital…way too much gossip!!!! LOL Wonderful story…beautiful writing. Thank you for posting this here. And thank you for inspiring Jacky. The degrees of separation continue to prove true. While you were writing this, did you ever think that because of someone somewhere reading it, that a fan site would be established for a completely different show, that would in turn change thousands of lives all around the world? I know, amazing isn’t it…the power of a story. Thanks again.

Gosh! This is fantastic. I love all the characters on ER and you’ve done a truly excellent job with all the conflicting emotions and the power of irresistible forces of attraction between Abby and Kim. I enjoyed every word.
