Teresa had been on edge when Jane was around Abbie. She was fearful in case he said something. She didn't know how Abbie would react to the truth.
Teresa had been talking to Walter Mashburn. Teresa found him obnoxious but at times he made her smile. Abbie didn't like him at all and she told Teresa that.
That morning, Abbie sat in the living room on the couch with her blanket. She had kept the blanket from when she was a baby. Teresa told her that her Mom had made it for her. "Shouldn't you be going to school?"
Abbie shook her head. "End of the semester. Don't know why I'd expect you to remember that though. I hardly get to spend time with my big sister anymore," she mumbled.
Teresa sighed. "Abbie I'm sorry that I'm not here much. The CBI keeps me busy."
"I'm used to being alone. I've grown up not having parents and my brothers don't even live in this state and my sister is too busy risking her life because of her job," Abbie said.

Teresa had gone to the CBI so Abbie sat at home watching TV. There was nothing on and she hated the fact she was so bored. Abbie got her phone and text Teresa -
I'm bored. What can I do? - Ax
Study. Homework. Clean - Tx
That sucks. I'll stay bored - Ax
Stop complaining then - Tx
Abbie didn't text back. She just smiled, she knew her sister cared for her. Deep down, Abbie just wanted her big sister to be there for her.

Teresa sat behind her desk. She had sent Van-Pelt and Rigsby to interview a suspect. Cho was interrogating a different suspect and she didn't have a clue where Jane was.
The door to her office knocked and Mashburn came in. "Hello Teresa."
Teresa tried to surpress a groan. "Walter. What can I do for you?" She asked. She hoped he hadn't come to flirt with her. She wasn't in the mood for it.
"I've had an intresting conversation with someone. Told me something that would come in handy," Walter said.
"About?"
"You."
Teresa looked at him. "What about me?"
Walter smirked at her. "Your mother's name was Annie, Father was named Neil. Three brothers, Tommy, James and Stan. A sister named Abbie. Oh, but wait. Abbie isn't your little sister is she? She's your daughter," he said.
Teresa paled. "Do not say a thing to anyone about that. Abbie doesn't know and she can't know because it will hurt her. She'll think everyone was against her."
"I won't say a thing, Teresa. Maybe you should tell her. Secrets have a way of coming out," Walter said.
Teresa shook her head. "Abbie cannot find out about this. I love her too much to hurt her."
X-X-X
Walter had gone and so Teresa went to find Jane. She had the feeling that he told Walter about Abbie being her daughter. "Why did you tell Walter about Abbie? Didn't I ask you to not say anything?"
Jane looked up. "I haven't said a thing to Walter about Abbie. I wouldn't do that."
"He found out from someone, Jane. My bet is that it was you who told him. I begged you to keep it to yourself," Teresa said. She thought she and Jane were friends so she assumed that he would have kept this secret.
"Lisbon, I never said anything to dear Walter."
"Who did then? I'm sure as hell didn't tell anyone other than you!"
"I don't know."

Abbie was attempting to study. She couldn't concentrate on them though. She was struggling with it all. Abbie didn't understand what she was supposed to be doing.
Suddenly, there was a piece of paper put through the letter box. Abbie groaned and she walked over to it. She picked it up and read it -
Abbie,
DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR REAL PARENTS ARE?
Abbie became confused. Her parents were Annie and Neil Lisbon. She had three older brothers and an older sister. She didn't know what to believe anymore. Everything was slowly getting messed up in her life.
After thinking about it, she decided that she wouldn't tell Teresa about the note. Teresa would say it was just a prank and not to worry. Abbie knew different. The person who sent the note obviously knew something about Abbie's life and it scared her.
X-X-X
A few hours later, Abbie had fallen asleep on the couch. The note had unnerved her to say the least. She didn't want to worry Teresa about it.
Teresa returned home and saw Abbie sleeping. She smiled as she remembered that Abbie had always slept in the same position since she was little. Teresa took the blanket off the back of the couch and put it over her little girl.

Abbie woke to see Teresa sitting on the sofa. "Reese, what you doing?" Abbie sleepily asked. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Nothing sweetie. You go back to sleep," Teresa said. She had been looking at pictures of Abbie from when she was growing up. "Mom would be so proud of how beautiful you are."
Abbie smiled slightly. "You think?"
"I know so."
Abbie went through to her bedroom. She saw something move in the corner of her bedroom. Abbie screamed as loud as she could and soon enough, Teresa was there with her gun. "What is it?" Teresa asked. She was panicking.
"Spider!"
Teresa put her gun away and glared at Abbie. "You scream murder for a spider?"
Abbie nodded. "I'm terrified of the things. They're hairy and all those legs are not natural! Seriously. Please Reese, get rid of it or I'll take over your bed," she warned.
Teresa rolled her eyes and she got a glass and a piece of paper. She scooped the spider up. Teresa opened Abbie's bedroom window and threw the spider out. "There, Incy Wincy has gone now. The princess can sleep," Teresa said.
"Thank you Reese. You're the best sister ever," Abbie said with a cheeky smile. She kissed her sister's cheek before she climbed into bed.
Teresa watched her as she slept. She began stroking her hair. "I love you baby girl. I always loved you," Teresa whispered to the sleeping teenager. She wanted to be Abbie's Mom so badly but knew how Abbie would react to the news. She couldn't handle it and Teresa couldn't handle the hate.
