Let It Burn

Abbey peeked out the bedroom window, she was overjoyed to see Heath's car parked out in front of her home. Although she didn't hear any signs of him, which saddened her heart, she picked up a pretty rock (one that she and her 'scrambled egg' picked out earlier that day) and upon opening the window, she threw the rock right at Heath's car. "That will catch your attention!" She whispered, but then cringed as it smashed right through the windshield, but grinned. Knowing he'd definitely be giving her his attention then.

"Abbey! I'm right here babe!" He waved up at her, to which her eyes widened. He was right there? She didn't know! If she did, she would've thought twice about throwing that rock.

"Heath! So sorry!" She turned from her bedroom window and almost ran down the stairs, heading right to the front door. She swung it open and resumed on her way outside. "I did not think you were there and I thought I would get attention of yours and, Abbey is sorry for damage done."

Heath shrugged it off, "Oh that? Nah it's okay. It had a hairline crack in it anyway..." He chuckled, but then looked to Abbey, apology and sincerity so clear within his eyes. "Though, honestly... no Abbey, I'm sorry. Listen, I don't know what I did to make you so angry… but I gotta tell you, I just can't be me without you. I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't focus on anything and I can't bring myself to do anything I had a liking for and – I feel so… void without you. Being next to you, Abbey Bominable makes me remember that I do have a beating heart. And it only beats for you."

She hugged him tightly, "Heath, so sweet is that statement. But is very true for Abbey as well." She looked into his eyes, continuing to tell him the truth and how she felt about the situation. "I thought you wanted to hurt egg. But you did not, because you did not know. You did not have intentions on hurting little egg. Little egg and Abbey forgive you Heath, come back to us, yes?"

Heath tenderly kissed her lips, but parted a few seconds after. "Wait, just a question… who is this egg you're going on about?"

Abbey intertwined her fingers in his, then putting his hand on her lower abdomen, she spoke. "Heath… meet egg. Egg, meet daddy."

Heath's eyes widened, "Abbey! You're… pregnant?" He then scoffed, "I should've known as soon as you went on about eggs and not unscrambling perfectly scrambled eggs and… when I… touched your stomach that way… that night… oh Abbey, I didn't mean to press on egg – uh I mean your stomach. I don't blame you for being angry, I would've been upset too babe, really. But I mean, I really didn't know and -"

She hugged him, somewhat to Heath's surprise. "I am not upset anymore. If you do not want to be father, I would say go right way about it but, thing is… I want you to be the father you are to egg. Me be mother, and you be father of perfectly scrambled egg. Yes?"

Heath gave a warm, genuine smile. "Yes Abbey, forever and always."

::~*~::

The rest of the week Heath was his upbeat self and everything seemed back to normal again, until the news spread around the school that Heath and Abbey were going to be parents. As in any high school, some students gave the pregnant mother grief, but then again – no one was remotely dumb enough to mess with Heath but especially Abbey – she would shred them to pieces in no time at all with hardly any remorse for bad mouthing their soon – to – be family.

It was now Friday and Heath was spending the night at his cousin's home, Deuce and Clawd were hanging out too. They'd just heard that the 'rumors' of Abbey's pregnancy were in fact true. Well Deuce and Clawd had learned that. But being part of the family as Jackson (and Holt) was, they already knew about it. It was kinda hard to see, but Abbey was a good five months into it already. She wore it well. "So Heath… you're a daddy now." Clawd looked to the younger male as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously, shifting uncomfortably in his seat on Jackson's bedroom floor, the kid always kept everything so damn spotless.

Heath gave a smile, "Yeah, I am. Or I will be soon. I can't wait." He told them happily. Heath was truly, genuinely happy. "I felt the baby move for the first time yesterday, it was so cool."

Deuce gave a small smile. It sounded cool for sure, but some things about being a dad so early, didn't seem cool at all. "Are you sure you're really ready for a kid right now, Heath? You're young and... stuff. Y'know?"

Heath sat back for a moment, he knew that Deuce wasn't trying to be mean or anything, he was just looking out for a fellow monster. Keeping an extra eye (or snake) out for a fellow good friend. "I think I'll be ready as soon as I see the little one. I mean, Abbey and I are solid; she's wearing the engagement ring I gave her – okay it's on the gold necklace she's wearing that I gave her, but I read up on how pregnancy causes swelling in the hands and feet, and she said she wouldn't get the ring cut off – even if in the worst case scenario – once it was on her hand, so I kinda thought it'd be best to wait until after so she could wear it, y'know? But anyway, we're more solid than we ever were before, she's carrying my baby; I couldn't feel more right about this. I don't feel nervous – I'm just restless, I want to meet the little one now. Right now. I'm so ready."

Deuce nodded, "Yeah, you really are ready. That's how you know you're ready, by how you feel about it. You feel ready to go so… you're good." He explained in a lack there of for detail, as most guys did.

Jackson cleared his throat to speak up, "I think Heath will be a great dad. He has what a lot of them don't, the want and readiness to just, dive in. That's what'll take him far and keep him going I think personally."

Heath gave a warm smile, "Thanks Jackson, I think you're right. I can hardly wait." Just then his phone vibrated, he picked it up and almost had tears in his eyes. "Guys… this is… wow."

Jackson moved from where he was, to look at Heath's phone. "Oh wow, that's… amazing." Jackson took Heath's phone to show Clawd and Deuce, the picture.

"That's Abbey's baby bump, isn't it?" Clawd inquired, looking at the picture carefully.

"Yeah, it is, but look here, y'see it?" He inquired, pointing exactly to where the best part of the picture was.

Deuce squinted his eyes to see better, taking the phone, he discreetly put his sunglasses up further so he could look at the picture clearly. "Oh man, that's… that's a little foot!" He fixed his sunglasses back to normal. He couldn't help but to think seeing that tiny little protruding foot, was awesome. So cool.

Heath nodded with pride, "It's my baby's foot! Isn't that amazing?"

Clawd chuckled, "That's your kid alright, kicking its mother."

Nothing anyone said could take Heath down from the happiness he was feeling right then and there. "Just think… it won't be too long before we can meet. I can't believe it…" Jackson, Deuce and Clawd were more than reassured that their good friend was truly ready for parenthood.

::~*~::

The big day had finally arrived! Heath had been skeptical about Abbey not letting him really see the ultrasound pictures, but as long as she still wanted him around, he wouldn't complain about her other tactics. The waiting room was pretty packed. Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Draculaura, Clawd, Ghoulia and Sloe – Moe, Deuce and even Cleo had time to make it for the big day. She put her flair and creativity to good use by making a baby basket. It was generic of course, since she didn't know the gender of the baby, but had her side bets on a little girl. She claimed it, 'So totally suited Heath' to have a little girl.

Heath's parents as well as Grace were also occupying the waiting room. "This is most glorious!" Draculaura commented with a big smile, "Isn't it romantic Clawd? A little baby to show the love they share."

Clawd's eyes widened, "Uh, sure. Of course it is." He gave her hand a pat, not wanting to think about having his own any time soon. College guy or not, he still felt he was too young for that right now in his life.

Frankie then spoke up, a genuine smile on her face as she held Jackson's hand. "Y'know, I'm just wondering if poor Heath is going to get torn to shreds by Abbey while she's in labor. Maybe we might never see Heath again." She joked lightly, of course not meaning any harm what so ever.

Jackson narrowed his eyes, "Frankie, she was actually really calm through out pregnancy so… her labor should be alright, no?"

Skyler looked to her nephew, "Ah, it can take a quick turn at any given moment Jackson. I almost castrated your uncle during my labor for your cousin." She smirked, but then continued. "I assume she's doing well though, haven't heard much to prove otherwise."

Just then Heath came into the waiting room, all pairs of eyes on him. "They said she could only have two people in the room with her while she's giving birth, but she yelled at the nurses in her native tongue and they suddenly told her she could have anyone she liked in there or to bring the whole family in if she wanted." He gave a small laugh, "She asked for… my mom and I and, of course you." He said shyly to Grace, who seemed estranged for a moment.

"Me? She wants me in there with her?" She asked just once more, for clarification purposes.

Heath gave a quick nod of his head, "Yes, indeed. She's… pushing through her last contractions. The doctor said any given moment now."

Skyler hopped up from her seat, "Then what the fuck are we waiting for? C'mon ladies and gent, let's go, go, go!" She waved to the others before heading off down the ward hallway with both Heath and Grace in tow.

Grace mumbled, "That's what got them into this situation." a smirk on her face as she followed them with the utmost sincerity.

Meanwhile, Heath didn't back off like most new fathers would, he was right up there with Abbey, holding her hand and brushing back her hair. He gave her a tender kiss, "You're doing great Abbey, really you are sweetheart. This is amazing! I can't wait to meet our little one."

Abbey reached her cold hand up to bring Heath down to her so she could tenderly kiss him once more. Gently saying to him, "Not just little one, two little ones."

Skyler and Grace looked at one another with surprised, widened eyes. "Twins?"

Abbey nodded with a grin, "Yes! Abbey wanted it to be surprise, but could not hold it in any longer."

Before either one of them could say anything, the doctor came in to give them instructions as to what to do next. Grace up with Abbey and Heath, while Skyler was there for moral support, holding Abbey's other hand, giving her nothing but encouragement.

A successful birth two fraternal twins was given. A boy who was as cold as Abbey, and a little girl who carried the heat of her father.

It had always been said that the elements of fire and ice would never be combined, but leave it up to Abbey and Heath to go against the odds and complete their lives to the fullest.
