A/N: I had this idea after re-watching The Vow for the millionth time and I just couldn't get it out of my head! Let me know what you all think!

The alarm on the bedside table continuing to buzz forced Marcus Kane to open his eyes. He wanted to throw the damn thing across the room, or at least whack it a few times to make the noise stop, but he knew there wasn't time for that. He was in the top of his training class for guard duty and he didn't want to mess that up by being late. The sleeping figure lying half on top of him made a small movement and he took that as his cue to lightly shake her out of her sleep as well. He hated it, but he knew that Abby wouldn't forgive him if he let her oversleep. She had training today, too, though not for guard duty, she was on her way to be the best doctor the Ark had ever seen. After a few times shaking her arm, he heard her mumbling that she was getting up. When she raised her head, he couldn't help but to steal a kiss from her. "You know it's your fault that I am so tired this morning, you barely let me get any sleep last night." He whispered into her hair, giving her another kiss, before moving to get out of the bed and pull a pair of boxers on.

"I don't recall you complaining." Her voice came in and out through yawns, but he could still hear the hint of seduction in it. Marcus picked up her shirt from the ground and tossed it towards her, before moving to the small machine sitting on the desk in the corner to brew them some coffee. "You know, we still have an hour before either of us have to be at training." She winked at him, letting the blanket she had been using as a robe slip from her shoulders to reveal her bare chest.

Marcus stared at her for a moment, wondering how he had gotten someone so beautiful to fall in love with him, "Don't tempt me." He gave a small chuckle at the pout she responded to him with, pulling the shirt over her. "I promise once we get back here tonight, I will take my time with you." He poured them both a cup of coffee and handed hers to her.

Over the last few years, they had fallen into a sort of routine. He would wake them up, make them coffee, they would go their separate ways to job training, sometimes meet for lunch, come back to his small room, make love for endless hours, and then fall asleep to do it all again the next day. Neither of them minded, they were both the type of people that preferred stability. Plus, the fact that they were madly in love with one another helped. Marcus Kane and Abigail Owens were happy.

"I'm going to hold you to that." Abby took a sip from the cup and felt herself let out a sigh as the warm liquid made its way through her. They sat in silence for a while, her on the bed, still clad in only her shirt, and him on a chair facing against the wall. Looking at the clock, she sighed and leaned down to grab her pants from the floor. It was as if he could read her mind, immediately standing up and taking the nearly empty cup from her hands to allow her to slip her jeans on. "I've got to get going, I'll see you at lunch?" She stood from the bed and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

Marcus smiled at her and nodded, "Wouldn't miss it for anything." She was almost out of the door when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back towards him, "I love you." He whispered before leaning down to give her a proper kiss, tasting the coffee from her lips.

"I love you, too."

The rest of the morning went by quickly enough, they were both in their last few weeks of training, so it kept them busy. Marcus was about to head to lunch when Thelonious, one of their good friends, stopped him. He could tell by the look on the other man's face that something was wrong, terribly wrong. The same words kept repeating themselves in his head as he rushed to medical. Abby, fallen pipe, head injury, unconscious. He made it to the ward in record time, pushing past everyone that got in his way. Jackson, another student that was training with Abby and was someone they both considered an ally, was waiting for him.

"Marcus, please stop. I need to talk to you before you go in there." Jackson had placed a hand on Marcus' shoulder, trying to calm him down. If it wasn't for the look in Jackson's eye, telling Marcus that there was something he needed to know, he might have thrown him down in an effort to get to Abby quicker. Marcus nodded, letting the man know to go on. "She woke up a few minutes ago. Doctor Barnes is assessing her injuries, now. But, um, when she woke up, she was asking for Jake Griffin. It seems like she might have some amnesia, but that can be normal with a head injury. You just have to give it some time, it could be hours, days, but she will remember."

Marcus was at a loss, trying to process all of the information that had just been given to him. If Abby was asking for Jake, that likely meant she didn't remember the last year and a half at all. He nodded at Jackson and dipped his head down as he went to step into the room. "Abby?" His voice was cracking, but she didn't seem to notice.

"Marcus." She smiled then, looking up at him from her bed. "Can you believe a pipe fell on my head? It would only be my luck." Abby gave a small chuckle, a sound that instantly made Marcus feel a little more relieved. For a moment, he wondered if she had already remembered, but that hope was quickly taken away from him. "I asked Doctor Barnes to get Jake for me. Have you seen him? I'm sure your friend, albeit a little idiotic at times, would still like to know that his girlfriend is laying in the hospital." He couldn't take it, he needed some air, everything that he had been told, everything that she was saying, it was all making him feel as though he was drowning. Marcus didn't say anything as he turned and walked out of the room, leaving a very confused Abby wondering what the hell was going on with everyone. He barely made it to an empty storage closet when he felt himself sink to the ground, tears slowly streaming from his face. What if she never remembered? He should have known it was all too good to be true.
