Abby groaned as she heard the one sound she hated more than anything, Connor's alarm. She'd been awake most of the night tossing and turning, she couldn't get comfy. Abby glanced over at Connor as she could hear him waking up slowly; he was never the best person at waking up. She heard Connor groan as his eyes adjusted to the light, Abby could practically feel his eyes on her, he gently leaned over and kissed Abby's shoulder.
"You awake?" He whispered gently in her ear, and she nodded in reply.
"Course I am." She groaned in reply, "Couldn't sleep again." Connor gave her a quick smile, biting his lip as he moved his hand against her swollen stomach under the covers.
"Little one?" He smiled, again Abby nodded in reply. Connor couldn't help but grin every time he felt Abby's stomach, feeling the movement of their child under his touch, Connor felt as though he was the child at times, every time he thought about holding their baby he got all giddy and excited, he couldn't help it, he couldn't wait to be a father, of course he was afraid he'd just mess it all up, Abby reassured him whenever he had doubts, that he'd be amazing father. "Not long..." He whispered, six weeks time, they'd hopefully be meeting their new baby. They didn't know whether it was a boy or girl, despite Connor's pleas and begs of wanting to know, Abby insisted on it being a surprise.
"Mmm," Abby smiled up at Connor, kissing him lazily on the lips, "Do you have to go work?" She sighed, she hated being stuck in the flat since she went on maternity leave, and she'd been doing paperwork up until she left, she did miss the adrenaline and fun of being out on the field, but the whole team agreed she had to stay away from the dinosaurs and danger.
"I have to," Connor sighed; he didn't feel it was the same being at the ARC without her; he had no-one to mess around with. Not that he was unprofessional in any way, he felt alone in the ARC, he'd been working with Abby at the ARC every day from the beginning and everyone else had their girlfriend or boyfriend working with them, or crush in Jess and Becker's case, and his wife was sitting at home. "I'll try and get off early?" He suggested and Abby nodded again.
"Yes please," She grinned, "I miss you, I'm turning in to a couch potato, and a clean freak..." She sighed.
"Well, when I come home, we can have a film fest? Just me and you? You've got to just take it easy, just a few more weeks." He whispered in to her, a grin forming on his face.
"I know," Abby nodded, smiling back at him, placing her hand on top his. The two of them had come so far in such a short space of time, just over a year ago, the two of them were exchanging vows to spend the rest of their lives together, now here they were, happily married for a year and a baby on the way. The two of them had worried about how it would affect their life at the ARC, but after having a long conversation with Lester, they'd decided that both of them would stop field missions for a while, Connor would go if it was necessary, but neither of them wanted to risk their lives as much. Abby guessed that they had just become domesticated, like every married couple did.
"Now, can I get up?" Connor smiled, "I'll make you some breakfast?"
"Okay, deal." Abby grinned as Connor kissed her gently, throwing on some clothes and began rushing down the stairs to make himself some coffee, and breakfast for the two of them. After five minutes or so, Abby popped to the toilet, and toddle downstairs to see what Connor was up to, finding him finishing off the breakfast, sighing as he noticed Abby.
"Y'know, this kind of ruins the whole breakfast in bed thing when you're out of bed." Connor chuckled.
"We can eat on the sofa?" She suggested,"I needed to get up anyway, stretch my legs."
"Come on then." Connor smiled as he let Abby snuggle on to the sofa first, cuddling herself under the blanket, and Connor placed the tray between them. Once Abby had eaten what she wanted, she leant against Connor's shoulder, this pregnancy had been tough, she'd enjoyed every moment of it, but it had been hard work, now she was nearing the end she just felt tired the entire time. Connor gently kissed her forehead, clearing up the breakfast, placing it on their table in front of them and sighed. "I've gotta go..." He whispered in Abby's ear.
"I know," Abby groaned, kissing him gently, "I'll see you soon?"
"Course you will," Connor grinned, "I'll try and leave at about three, okay?"
"Okay." Abby nodded, kissing him before he left, sighing as she heard the door close. She relaxed back on to the sofa, pulling the blanket over, placing one hand over her stomach, feeling the baby move. "Looks like it Jeremy Kyle for me then." She whispered and she turned on the telly, ready for the daytime TV.
