Chapter 7 : The Rest Of The Night

"Abigail on the phone Mary, she says tomorrow night is fine, but she's asking if you've seen Marshall however?" Kenny shouted from the phone. Mary looked at Kenny, "okay and no I haven't. Sorry." Mary was not concentrating and her focus was back on the TV. Kenny put the phone down and joined Mary in the lounge. "She says that she will make her way over to here a little before 7pm and meet Marshall here, because he'll be taking Stan to the airport with you." Shit. Mary had forgotten all about this. She's going to say bye to Stan, how could she forget. Then it came to her. She was going to be with Marshall by her self on the way home. She finally replied to Kenny, "yeah okay, that should be good. Are you sure you can handle cooking on your own though?". Mary laughed, his face was a picture, "relax, relax, all you'll have to do is take it out the oven and prep some salad, chill". The sigh of relief which came from Kenny was huge.

They were now both sat on the couch watching a TV show which had came to a break. Kenny sat up and looked at Mary, "are you sure you're gunna be okay with tomorrow? I know Stan is very close to you". "Wow, you sure know a hell of a lot of things.", this reply came out at an instant for Mary, "sorry, I mean, yeah I think I'm gunna be good. Hoping he's not gunna like the job and come back to ABQ". she laughed not remembering the sentence she has said beforehand. "Sorry Kenny, it's just been a long day", she gave him a kiss and they were both fine. Kenny was still shocked at Mary's reply. I mean, he was only trying to help? She gave Marshall a quick text which read 'get your ass home now, pick me up before you go and get Stan, see you tomorrow.' The text was short and simple as she really had nothing to say to him anymore. She put her phone down and the remainder of the night was spent on the couch with Kenny, who was frequently filling her glass back up.

Marshall headed out of the Sunshine building leaving Stan to pack up the rest of his things, and to have a moment on his own. Marshall finally got to his car to pick up his phone with 3 text messages on it, two from Abigail and one from Mary. He read Mary's first : 'get your ass home now, pick me up before you go and get Stan, see you tomorrow.' How the hell did Mary know that he was not home? He replied with a simple 'ok partner, see you then', and went straight to Abigail's messages. The first one read : 'Marshall where are you. Come home please, love Abs x'. The second message read : 'It's okay I know where you are. We are having dinner at Mary's tomorrow, Kenny rang me, hurry home we need to talk x'. How did Abigail know where he was? Had Mary and Abigail been checking up on him? He replied to Abigail, 'Sorry, on my way home now, I'll pick a bottle of wine up for tonight and Mary's tomorrow, see you soon x'. Marshall didn't want to go home. Not after his first argument with Abigail. He soon found himself pulling up onto the drive of their home. Please Abigail, don't start, he thought.

He walked into his home to find a cheerful Abigail which took him by surprise, he was not going to comprise this. He removed his coat and placed it on the coat hanger, and found his way into the kitchen where Abigail was sitting at the kitchen table. He put the bottle of wine which was for Mary's tomorrow in the fridge and left the other bottle on the bench, he then got two glasses and placed them onto the table, not looking at Abigail once through his actions. He finally looked up to her and she smiled "Hey". "Evening Abs". He eventually smiled back to her, "look Abigail", he was soon interrupted, "No Marshall, please let me speak, I apologise for what has happened today, I was totally out of line to say all of the things that I have said today, it was petty of me, it really was." A sigh came out of Abigail's mouth the second she finished this sentence. Marshall sat for a couple of minutes before he finally replied. "Abigail, it's ok. But please don't bring Mary into our arguements, she's had a rough couple of weeks and you know that, so please, can we just put this to rest." Marshall sighed and smiled. "I understand Marshall, I'll apologise at dinner tomorrow". "Anyways how did we end up getting a invite to Mary's house for dinner, you do know Mary can't cook don't you?" Marshall laughed at the idea of Mary cooking. Abigail laughed with him, "Kenny had rang me and asked if we wanted dinner at Mary's tomorrow. I said yes. I thought it would be a good idea." Abigail wasn't sure if she had made the right choice. "Yes, it should be a great evening, I really like Kenny, it'll be good to get to know him better." Abigail was relieved at this, she smiled, "yeah I like Kenny too".

The rest of their evening was spent finishing off the wine with discussions on a book that they had both just started.

I found it really hard to write as Abigail today. I don't know why, I just did. I want to thank KieraCassidy for giving me my first review, her fan fiction is also amazing and you should go and check hers out! So Abigail likes Kenny too, hmm.
