After watching the last ep (which was fantastic!) I couldn't resist writing something happy and fluffy :P This was what came out of my head :P I don't really know what to make of it but still...Enjoy... ^^
"Connor?"
No reply.
"Connor!?"
Still no reply but Abby could hear the faintest sound of snoring from the room next to hers.
"CONNOR!" She screamed one final time, determined to wake up her roommate – she could hear them fussing from their room and it was his turn to check on them after all.
"What?" Connor croaked, obviously having just woken up. Abby resisted laughing at his tone of voice in favour of being direct so she could get to sleep.
"Your turn!" she shouted before putting her pillow over her head and trying to get back to sleep for the fifth time that night.
Connor tried singing to get the pair off to sleep again.
"Hush little babies don't say a word... daddy's going to buy you a-"
He was interrupted by Abby walking into the spare-room-turned-nursery and standing in the door way smiling fondly as her friend.
"Don't stop on my account," she teased, "you have a lovely singing voice."
Connor didn't even look up from the fidgeting infants in his lap, but Abby still knew he rolled his eyes at her. It was one of those things that could go unsaid between the pair given how close they'd become over the last few months.
"But I thought we already established they preferred the Barney song?" She continued, smirking.
"Well they would." Connor snapped a little more harshly than he'd intended. "They're hungry." He stated, standing up and leaving the room, youngsters underarm.
Abby simply sighed and went to the living room. While she was awake she thought she should give Rex some attention. He'd been left out a little bit since the new additions to the family arrived.
"Hey," Connor said a little sheepishly, walking into the living area to find Abby curled up on the sofa with Rex. With a dramatic sigh he sat beside her. "I'm sorry about snapping at you earlier, I just get cranky without my beauty sleep."
This made Abby utter a rather undignified snort.
"What?" Connor protested, "You don't look this good without getting a solid 12 hours a night!"
"12 hours? Connor, doing our job you're unlikely to get 12 hours sleep a week!"
Connor looked up briefly and smiled. The two then fell into a companionable silence for a while and just sat enjoying each other's company.
"Right," Abby began as she slowly stood up, "I'm off to bed," She continued as she patted her hand on Connor's shoulder.
"Wait!" Connor started as he placed his hand on top of Abby's and turned her to face him. "Are things ever going to be normal for us again?"
"We work with living dinosaurs, since when has our lived been normal?" She stated matter of factly, deflecting the question.
"You know what I mean, Abs. I hardly see spend time with you anymore – it's as bad as being new parents without the fun part to start with!"
Abby couldn't resist a chuckle.
Then, just on cue the two diictodons made their entrance into the living area, a wave of destruction following behind them.
"Get off it you daft things," Connor sighed as they made their way to his PS3, what they considered their favourite toy.
"Night Connor," Abby laughed as she kissed him on the cheek and turned back towards her room.
So - what did you think?
