Summary; I just wanted to write an Abby and Connor story because they are my favourites, and I miss them! Set after Series 5 episode 6. Quite short chapters but I really hope you enjoy them.

Chapter One –An Idea

A very tired and bedraggled team of people walked back along the path to the ARC. They had just returned from sorting out the mess of a 'disappearing train' at Kings Cross station. Disappearing? Yes, you heard correctly- unbelievable huh! But for this team of five people and a small number of soldiers, this was a common place occurrence.

Abby Maitland and Connor Temple walked slowly behind the rest, hand in hand and talking softly to each other, whispering in each other's ear. Matt walked in front, arm tight around Emily.

"Ahh, they're so cute" said Emily

"Well, I wouldn't normally be happy about such open displays of affection at work" Matt said, totally oblivious to how tightly he was holding Emily to him- Emily just smiled. "But after all they've been through- heck they're great kids. They deserve some slack."

Becker walked alongside Matt and Emily, glancing at the two lagging behind at the back and smiling slightly at the sight of his two team mates who had become his best friends. His thoughts turned to Jess waiting at the ARC. Maybe one day…

"When shall we tell them?" Connor whispered

"Let's just enjoy it ourselves for a little bit longer" smiled Abby

They were talking about the fact that earlier today Abby had taken the bull by the horns and proposed to Connor. If she waited for him to do it, she'd be old and grey before she got that ring on her finger! Then there was the fact that Connor had almost given up. He blamed himself for nearly destroying the world. Abby knew it wasn't his fault- well not exactly. He was just too trusting of anyone who showed him a bit of attention. He had a wonderfully kind heart, and couldn't think badly of anyone- well maybe excluding Helen in that. He had thought he was going to save the world's energy crisis, and be a hero. Poor Connor was so dejected and devastated when he finally realised the truth.

But she wouldn't ever let him give up on her! They had gone through so much together- how could he ever think of leaving her alone and stay in that awful place Matt called home!

Abby shook the thought from her mind- she wouldn't allow that to happen. They belonged together. The realisation that he would have stayed there to die had made her suddenly realise that she couldn't carry on living without him, and that she wanted to be Mrs Temple more than anything.

Connor couldn't seem to take his eyes off her. He whispered to her as they moved down towards Jess at the ADD-

"I've got a great idea- let's spend a couple of nights at that posh 5 star hotel down the road. We can be alone, but we're also close enough to come in if an anomaly opens. It'd be like we had our own place again- just like old times, but better- no Jess and no cooking!"

Abby thought about it. She really liked that idea. It was great sharing with Jess, but she sometimes felt bad at how they hadn't seemed to find the time to find a place of their own. Jess was great about it though, of course. She liked them staying with her, but a few days alone- well evenings probably- maybe if work let them manage it. Oh yeah!

"Let's do it!" she smiled….
