Age is But A Number (Part One)(Chapter Twelve)
It is two days from the wedding and Abigail finds herself thinking about Claire, so without giving it much thought jumps into a cab and tells the driver to head to ground zero. After handing over the fare Abigail exits the cab and makes her way over to the former site of the world trade centres. And after finding a place to sit Abigail begins to speak to the invisible spirit of Mac's former wife "I don't really know what I am doing here Claire, I just felt like I should let you know that Mac and I are getting married and that we are going to have a baby. I love him Claire, I love him more than I thought possible, and I know you loved him just as much and would still be with him if 9/11 hadn't happened. I guess I just wanted you to know that I am going to love and cherish him, and do all that I can to make him happy. I also want you to know that I am going to make sure that Reed and Mac still continue to have a relationship, I have already asked Reed to act as big brother to this little one" says Abigail rubbing her pregnant belly "Well that's all I really wanted to say, so goodbye Claire, I hope you are at peace wherever you are" says Abigail as she walks away from the past and into her future.
Mac unaware of Abigail's visit to ground zero, comes home at 0100 the next morning to find Abigail sitting on the couch reading a book, while wearing a pair of his sweatpants and an oversized NYPD t-shirt that Stella and Lindsay had given her. "I thought you would be a asleep" says Mac placing a kiss on top of Abigail's head before sitting down next to her. "The baby had other ideas" states Abigail cuddling into Mac's side. "Reed came by the lab today, with a present for the baby" states Mac handing Abigail a wrapped package. As Abigail finishes unwrapping Reid's present she starts to laugh, it is a small pale yellow t-shirt with the words "if you think I'm cute, you should see my big brother" written on the front in white lettering. "He's really embraced this big brother thing" laughs Mac. "Thank you again for involving him, it means a lot to me" says Mac gently cupping Abigail's face, and placing a gentle kiss on her lips. "You're welcome, I know how much he means to you" says Abigail knowing that she needs to tell Mac about her visit to Ground Zero.
"Mac there's something I need to tell you" states Abigail, quickly adding "it's nothing bad, well I don't think so" at the look on Mac's face. "I went to ground zero today, I wanted to let Claire know about us and the baby, and I wanted her to know that I love you and that I am going to do everything in my power to make you happy. I also needed to make sure that she knows that Reed is going to be a part of our family" finishes Abigail. "You are an amazing woman Abigail Jones" says Mac tears shining in his eyes, as he crushes his lips against Abigail's, who lets out a moan, as she straddles Mac, the kiss intensifying, as clothes start to be shed. "bedroom" gasps Abigail, as she is pressed up against the wall by Mac who is trailing kissing down the side of her neck, "bedroom" agrees Mac, as they make their way towards their room, managing not to break contact once.
