Recap: "What happened Abby?" John asked. Abigail shook her head and kept crying, she hadn't told any of them what had happened she cried herself to sleep begging John not to leave her alone. He kept his promise, Morgan and Riley showed up about four hours later John had called Holly and told her something had happened, but he still wasn't sure what had happened. When Riley got to her side he shook her awake gently. "Abigail, wake up." He cooed softly. Slowly Abigail opened her eyes, "What happened?" Riley asked softly. Abigail shook her head. "Take me home." Was all she said. "They'll take you home Abby, but first you need to tell me what happened." John said kneeling next to her. "Someone threatened me." Abby said simply and refused to make any eye contact. "Who threatened you and what did they say?" John asked. Abigail shook her head once more she didn't know who he was and she refused to repeat what he said because it struck to close to home for her. Abby had thought the same words before about herself, but that man's words held a deeper promise.
Chapter Fourteen: Abigail's Threat.
Morgan picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Franky, its Morgan I need you to hack this hotels security system and look into their camera system and find out who came to Abigail's door. Call us back." Morgan then hung up the phone and looked back to Riley who nodded. John looked between the men, "You do realize that I'm a cop that all it took was me asking the manager of the hotel, right?" Morgan looked down his nose at John. "I used to be an FBI agent, this was the faster way of getting things done and saves us from having to go through the proper channels." John sighed rubbing his face with both hands. "Please, get me out of here." Abby said softly as she moved to stand. "No, sit back down were not leaving until we find out who threatened you and why?" Morgan growled. "It's because I'm carrying his baby, they all think I'm a good for nothing whore." Abby broke down in tears again. "Abigail, listen to me. These people are hypocritical assholes that don't know shit from a hole in the ground. So what you fell in love with a terrorist, but you didn't hurt anyone and what you did for all we know could have saved someone's life." Riley told her taking her hands in his. "Whatever they said is bullshit, you hear me bullshit." Abby nodded while sniffling. "After we find this douche you are going to go home, relax in a nice hot bath, have some hot tea and take care of your little one because you're going to be an awesome mom." Riley smiled up at her from kneeling before her. "Can we at least wait in the truck?" Abby asked while wiping her face with the back of her hand.
Riley looked to John and Morgan who both nodded, it would be a lot easier to get the work done without Abby around. An hour and a half later they were finished and John was arresting the man who threatened his sister-in-law. Morgan joined Riley and Abigail in the truck, the whole ride back was quite no one really knew what to say. It was dark when they reached home, pulling up in her drive way, Morgan unlocked the door as Riley carried Abby in and up the stairs to sleep. He removed her shoes and tucked her in, bidding her a goodnight before descending the stairs to find Hans and Theo standing in the doorway. "Out of my way Morgan." Hans growled. "Please, Mr. Gruber she's had a long day. She is safe, but she needs to rest you can speak with her in the morning." Riley sighed as he cleared the landing. "She can rest later, I want answers now." Hans beautiful face was twisted in rage. "Hans, you'll get your answers, but they can wait until tomorrow. If it makes you feel any better, we'll lock her in the house." Theo said. "Lock her in the house, are you trying to make her hate us too. She has nowhere to go Theo you've said so yourself. She's alone, scared and hurt if you lock her in the house it'll devastate her." Riley hissed. In a short time he's come to feel for Abigail and he's taken her under his wing, she was like a sister to him now and he didn't want to lose her over some stupid lover's quarrel that Hans Gruber was too proud to admit any wrong in.
"Morgan what do you think?" Theo asked the silent man. "Riley is right, after today when she reached out to us for help over her kin it made us kin instead. She wouldn't tell her brother-in-law anything, she would only speak with Riley. She will not go anywhere, without telling one of us first. She needs us more than we need her right now." Morgan sighed running a hand through his ebony hair. His green eyes looked at the occupants of the room. "We'll stay here tonight. That way no one will have to worry." Morgan said taking a seat on the couch. Riley sat on the stairs keeping an eye on Hans as Hans took a seat on the Love seat. Theo shrugged and took a seat at the dining room table. The four men sat quietly for some time before Hans began asking Riley and Morgan questions, "What happened today?" Hans asked. "Abby was threatened, by one of the wait staff at the hotel she was staying at." Riley answered. "Was she harmed?" Hans grew tense as he waited for the answer. "Not physically." Morgan grunted. "The bastard threatened to beat her; he threatened her because of you." Riley growled. "He threatened to…" Riley went to continue, but was cut off by Theo. "I think it is best we switch topics before this gets any more heated than it is now. We wouldn't want to wake Abby." The room fell silent again. Theo had tried to carry on different types of conversations, but it would only lead to other arguments.
The next morning Riley was the first to wake he went upstairs to check on Abigail she was still sleeping soundly. He went back down the stairs to the kitchen and began making breakfast for everyone. The other three woke soon after he began cooking, "Is Abigail still asleep?" Theo asked as he woke stretching. "Yes, I was going to bring her up a plate up as well as her shake the doctor prescribed for stress." Riley smiled sadly. "Why was she prescribed stuff from a doctor?" Hans asked standing from the small couch. "It is one of those things she needs to tell you." Theo answered. "When I bring her up her plate and shake I'll she if she's ready to talk." Riley said. "There's no need." A voice called from the stairwell. Slowly Abigail began to descend the stairs. Hans' eyes scanned her body stopping in her swelling stomach. Hans was at a loss for words. "Hello, Hans." Abigail smiled sadly at him before joining Theo at the table. "How… when… Whose?" Hans stuttered. "Don't worry Hans, He is yours I haven't been with anyone since Mexico." Hans sat back down, "He…" Hans repeated. "Did you know when you left?" Hans asked. Abby shook her head hand subconsciously rubbing her stomach. "Why did you leave?" Hans asked voice breaking slightly. "I wrote you a letter explaining everything, Hans." Abby said sparing him a look. "I should have known you wouldn't read it." Hans moved to her side glaring down at her, "Abigail, I want answers now." Hans stated.
"Hans, have a seat now is not the time for answers. Can we please just enjoy breakfast?" Abby asked with a sigh. Hans went to open his mouth to argue with her, but stopped when she reached out and grabbed his hand placing it on her swollen belly just in time to feel his son kick. A strange feeling of pride flooded through him, as he stared down at his hand on her stomach. "I need help naming him." Abby smiled while caressing the top of his hand that lay on her stomach. This was to moment she was most afraid of this reunion, was he going to accept her back into his life, accept both her and his son. Does he believe her that this is their child? Hans knelt beside her chair eyes fixed on her swollen belly. "Calm now Leon, it'll be alright." He whispered to her stomach and the squirming child in her stopped squirming. Abigail looked at him with wide eyes. "You are never going to leave me again." Hans said possessively eyes burning. Something pulled at Abigail's heart; she looked down at Hans worry shining down on him. "You will leave with me tomorrow, our son shall be born in Germany where he'll be offered the greatest education he can find as well as have everything he should ever want." Hans stood while saying this as did Theo. Theo and Riley looked at Hans hard, both worried for Abigail.
Closing her eyes Abigail was quiet for a few moments, "Hans…" Theo began before stopping as Abby lifted herself out of her seat. "I will not go with you Hans; you are welcomed to stay here until our son is born or you can return home alone." Abigail said flatly. Hans' eyes narrowed at her, he had moved to smack her, but stopped himself. "You will leave with me even if I have to kidnap you. I will raise my son." Hans gritted his teeth holding back the new found possessiveness he felt. "You have learned nothing; this is why I left in the first place." Abigail choked back a sob. "I will not be told what to do Hans; I'm not yours to command." She turned her back on him. "If you want me and OUR child in your life you'll learn to work in tandem with me." Abigail began walking away from him back upstairs when she stopped. "And so help me God if you even try to kidnap me, I will kill myself and your child." Abigail stopped half way up the stairs and glared threating at Hans. Turning having made her point she continued upstairs where she drew a hot bath to soak in. A knock came at the door, "Yes." She called icily. "Abby, I just wanted you to know I have a plate for you in your room." Riley called through the door. "Thank you Riley." She sighed.
After her bath Abigail picked at her now cold breakfast before turning to the window to see Hans and Theo sitting on his front porch talking. Sighing she descended the stair her breakfast plate in hand tossing the remnants in the trash she placed the dirty dish in the sink, before sneaking out the back of her house to walk in the cool spring air. She thought she passed unnoticed since no one had called out to her, as she made her way downhill to a small patch of wild flowers she lowered herself down onto the ground and began picking some of the flowers when a shadow casted over her.
