Chapter 10

Abby stood outside the anomaly waiting, waiting, she waited for over 4 hours for their return, she sat and stared at the anomaly, waiting for Connor and her team to come back through almost crying with frustration that she couldn't go with them and help, she gripped Connor's ring tightly in her hand holding it close to her heart, she felt small flutters in her stomach and looked down at her bump, "I know" she said softly "I am worried too, but don't worry, daddy will come home, he wants to meet you very much" she felt more flutters and looked down, she knew that this was the baby moving in her stomach, she looked around at all the soldiers watching the anomaly in case any more creatures came through.

She heard the sound of someone approaching and then Jess said gently "Abby" she didn't respond she just waited for Connor to come through the anomaly again "Abby" Jess said again touching her on the shoulder "come on, lets get you something to eat" Abby shrugged out of her grip "no, I am not leaving until they come back Jess" "Abby you have too" Jess cried "for your little one, you have to eat so your baby can grow and be strong, Connor wouldn't want you to starve now would he" Abby didn't respond again but she knew Jess was right, she had to eat, to keep their baby strong, so with a sigh she carefully tugged herself to her feet and followed Jess to the parking lot "erm" Jess said "can I have the keys to your car, I hitched a lift with some soldiers so I don't have a car" Abby smiled "I can drive Jess" she said pulling out her keys but Jess cheekily grabbed them and leapt into the drivers seat, Abby shook her head exasperated and carefully lowered herself into the passenger seat "just because I am pregnant it doesn't mean I am unable to do anything" she complained, Jess grinned and they headed to a small café for lunch.

Once they had ordered Abby looked at the young field coordinator sadly, Jess gave her a small smile and then squeezed her hand reassuringly "Connor will be back soon Abby, he wont let anything keep you, him and your baby apart" Abby sighed and nodded "I know, it is just … I feel that I should be there with them, especially with Connor, we have always gone through anomalies together and protected each other and now he has gone through without me and I have no idea if he is ok or not and I feel useless" she paused for breath suddenly realising how fast she was talking, Jess listened to her rant and then squeezed her hand again "don't say that you are useless Abby because you are not, you are doing a very important job right now, growing Connor's child and keeping both of you safe, how do you think Connor would feel if you were there with him now, he would be hell bent on protecting you and would let nothing stop him from doing that, he would allow himself to get killed to protect you, you do know that don't you Abby"

Abby nodded and smiled "as long as you are both safe Abby, Connor will be fine" Jess said with a small grin, again Abby gave a small smile "thanks Jess that was really sweet and rather helpful" Jess' grin widened "really, great I am not that good at comforting talks" "I beg to differ" Abby said and laughed gently, their food arrived and Abby reached for the red sauce and put rather a lot on making Jess raise her eyebrows, Abby frowned "ok weird pregnancy craving number one, lots of red sauce" Jess grinned and once again they laughed and Abby looked down at her stomach where there were more flutters, she smiled and played with his ring gently, Connor's child was moving around inside of her, comforting her in his absence, he really had left a part of himself behind with her.

XOXOXOXO

Connor followed Matt and Becker silently, they moved amongst the cars, watching where they trod uncertainly, Connor was trying to focus but he was struggling, his neck felt bare without the gentle weight of his ring hanging from the leather cord, he was glad he had given it to Abby though, he had given something precious of his to the person he treasured most in the world. It felt strange not having Abby beside him as he moved through the parked cars, he always had her with him when they worked and these last few months had been weird that was for certain, he loved working with her, and missed not having her with him protecting him and he, protecting her.

He looked round remembering the first time they had come here in search of Abby's brother Jack, he hoped it would be quicker and easier than then. "where are we going Connor" Matt muttered swinging his gun round checking that the coast was clear, Connor nodded towards the building that they had found Helen in, they crept around alert for danger, they eventually found the computer, exactly how Connor remembered it, the artefact was lying smashed on the floor still, slowly Connor moved forward, he opened his bag and pulled out a powerful generator and found a place to plug it in. the machine spluttered into life, he attached a device to decrypt passwords and used it to unlock certain files, he hurriedly scanned through the files copying them to his laptop "come on Connor this is taking way to long" Becker muttered "I am going as fast as I can" Connor muttered back.

He opened the next file and then froze "no" he breathed, instantly Matt was at his side "what is it" he asked, "this is the machine Philip asked me to build" Connor said "but things are different", he scrolled down "this has got to be Helen's" he said "because if this machine is turned on it is going to destroy all life on earth" Matt looked at it frowning "do you think Burton knows" he asked, "he might not know that the machine will destroy humanity" Connor said horrified at what he had nearly built, he wouldn't build it no, not when this could happen, matt didn't respond, they finished copying everything and began to head out "ok, nobody tells Burton about this ok, Connor tell him that we didn't open any files, we want to keep this between us" Connor nodded and continued to look at files "there is information about the anomalies here guys, it might actually be helpful"

Becker suddenly put up his hand and they all stopped and listened, there was a creaking clicking sound and a huge shadow appeared on the wall, they all ducked out of sight trying to lower their heart rates as much as possible, the future predator moved past clicking, it swung its ugly head round looking but it obviously didn't sense them, it moved on and with a sigh of relief they crept out of their hiding place, it was storming outside and they decided to wait so Connor continued to read the downloaded files, Matt read them over his shoulder whilst Becker who wasn't the least bit interested kept guard, the storm was just dying down when he opened a file that made his heart stop and his blood run cold.

It was a photo of him and Abby a few weeks before they had been stranded in the Cretaceous period, it was taken outside their apartment, Abby was laughing at something and he was gazing at her, Matt could see the love and devotion in Connor's eyes in the picture, but it wasn't the picture that had shocked them, it was what was written underneath.

"Connor is the one who can make the machine, the only one who can make it right, should he not be willing to make it, use his weakness. The girl Abby Maitland, he loves her and would do anything for her, use your imagination for the rest, do not fail me, I have put my trust in you. Connor must be the one to build the machine, make sure he does, by whatever means necessary.

XOXOXO

Abby had to drive Jess back to the ARC and the field coordinator persuaded her to stay, "you aren't doing yourself any good sitting, refusing to move outside the anomaly Abby" she had said. Now though Abby sat with her wishing she hadn't listened to her "I should be there Jess" she said staring at the live camera footage of the anomaly waiting for her boyfriend and team to return "I should be there Jess, I want to be there when they return" Jess looked at her "Abby, they will come back, Connor wont be happy if you sit there all the time and not take care of yourself and your child now will he"

So Abby had waited until work had ended, it was hard to wait that long but she knew it was probably for the best, then after she had said her goodbyes, she drove to the stadium, the soldiers weren't to pleased to see her but they seemed to realise that nothing would keep her away, she sat and stared at the anomaly, waiting for it to allow her friends who were more like her family now. But nothing happened.

"anything Miss Maitland" she jumped at the sound of a voice, she looked up to see Philip standing next to her "no" she said cautiously, rising so that he did not tower over her, she placed one hand protectively over her pregnant belly "nothing yet" he nodded and gazed at the anomaly for a long while "do you love Connor" he suddenly asked, Abby looked at him with raised eyebrows "of course I do, do you think I would be carrying his child if I didn't" he didn't comment he just returned to gazing at the anomaly "and he loves you" he then added, Abby looked at him warily "well yeah, again I am carrying his child" he turned to look at her "he would do anything to protect you" he said, it now didn't seem to be a question, more of an observation "yeah" Abby said again warily "can you do me a favour Abby" he asked suddenly Abby once again raised her eyebrows "why should I" she asked "you have made it perfectly clear that you don't like me" he ignored that and carried on "you are to make sure that Connor continues on his project should he return and not be willing" "why wouldn't he be" Abby said "he still works on it in his free time now" Burton looked at her "yes but I need more of his time, and you are taking up most of his free time now, I want it done soon"

Abby stepped away "well it is up to him how much time he spends on your project not me" she walked back to her car, she didn't want to be there if Burton was there, she stopped by her little mini and was just pulling out her keys when she heard Burton's voice from behind "how much time he spends on the project is up to how much he loves you now" she was about to whirl round to face him when she felt a pain on the back of her head and she fell to the ground.

She landed hard, rolling sideways to avoid landing on her belly, she ended up on her back, dazed she fought to keep her eyes open. She watched gasping as Burton bent down next to her "he will finish his project Abby, he might discover my secret in the future and decide not to continue with his project, but I need him to complete it, and you are my ticket to making sure he does" Abby watched in horror as he stood up and two of the soldiers came forward, her wrists were being bound tightly in front of her and she tired to fight but she couldn't.

She struggled desperately as she felt herself being lifted up, she could see Burton watching as she was lifted and placed in the boot of his car "thank you Abby" he said coming forward, "for helping me get what I want" she watched as he pulled a syringe out of his pocket with a clear liquid in it, he bent towards her, she let out a scream of fear that was muffled by his hand being clamped over her mouth, "don't scream" he warned but she did, she screamed and screamed, cursing her, he jabbed the needle into her arm and pushed the plunger.

She watched in fright as the clear liquid was pushed into her arm, she continued to struggle but soon, her limbs felt heavy and she could struggle no more, all the while Philip watched her, she felt her eyelids droop and fought to stay away, bit she couldn't, she whimpered as eh was forced to succumb to the drug "Connor" she managed to whisper. Then the world went black.

Haha cliff hanger :D, thought it would be good to finish there.
