Later that night Abby was finally able to sleep. The next morning when her alarm clock blared she was very tempted to skip school, but decide against it and drug herself out of bed. After getting ready she realized she was starving since she hadn't eaten in two days.
"Are you a little hungry?" asked Marshall later after Abby had eaten her seventh pancake.
"Yeah" she answered eating the last bite "I have to do something quick before science class" she said grabbing her tray and standing up her and Lucas locked eyes for a second and she couldn't help but blush.
"What's going on between you two?" asked Josie in an annoyed tone.
"They're dating" said Marshall before Lucas could say anything.
"Marshall" said Lucas annoyed.
"Well all I can say is it's about time" said Josie before turning back to her pancakes.
Abby walked into science class a few minutes before science class started. She caught a look at Madison's nose and it took all her self control to keep from laughing. Madison's nose was black and blue and swollen and Madison had attempted to hide by dumping gallons of concealer on it.
When she sat down she noticed all her friends were smiling at her "they know" said Lucas.
"Marshall" said Abby annoyed.
"How did you know I'm the one who told?" he asked.
"I'm physic" Abby said jokingly. Before anyone could say anything professor Z walked in and started class.
At the end of science class when everyone was about to leave principal Durst burst into the room. "Miss Peterson I have some news" she said happily "your mother is starting to respond" she cried happily.
"She's waking up!" screamed Abby happily, she didn't care that the whole class was watching she leaned over and kissed Lucas before skipping out of the room happily. The whole class was staring at him know "what" he said defensively before leaving the room himself.
Abby ran as fast as she could to her room. She grabbed her cell and called her step-father.
"Come on" she muttered to herself as listened to it ring finally she heard a tired Ted answer
"Ted it's Abby I just heard about mom what's going is she awake or waking up or-" "whoa speedy slow down" said Ted calmly "she's just starting to respond and show more brain activity her or the babies aren't out of the woods yet" he said wearily.
"Okay" said Abby then suddenly she realized what he just said "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BABIES!" she cried into the phone.
"Surprise you're going to have a new little brother and sister in August" he said.
"You mean my mother is five months pregnant" he said, Abby sat down on her bed in disbelief.
"Yes, we were going to surprise you and Tommy when we got home, but I thought you should know" he said.
"Does Tommy or Grandmother know?" she asked.
"No and I don't think they should know just yet" he said "so please don't tell them okay?" he asked pleadingly.
"I won't I gotta go" she said then hung up.
"Have you guys seen Abby I'm worried about her I haven't seen her since Z's class" said Lucas later as everyone was eating lunch.
"Don't worry I'm sure your girlfriend's fine" said Marshall "I still can't believe you have a girlfriend" he said jokingly.
"I still can't believe you dressed up like a girl and won the camp beauty contest two summers ago" joked Lucas back. At this the whole table started snickering.
"Are you talking about Marshall winning the camp beauty contest?" asked Abby sitting down.
"Why don't you just announce it over the PDA system" cried Marshall. "
Where were you go all afternoon?" asked Lucas, Abby could tell he was worried.
"I talked to my step-dad Ted and what he said shocked me so much I sat in my room for three hours without even realizing it" she said running a hand through her hair.
"Did something happen to your mom?" asked Corrine.
"Yes and no" said Abby "Ted said she wasn't out of the woods yet" she said "that shocked you so much you missed half a day of school" asked Josie.
"No it's what he said after that my mom is um she's five months pregnant with twins, a little boy and girl" she said leaning back in her chair she was very tired all the sudden.
"You're kidding right?" asked Josie.
"Nope" answered Abby "I'm going to have a little half brother and sister" she said "if my mom ever wakes up" she said quietly.
"She will" said Lucas firmly, Abby just smiled at him.
Later that night Abby was tossing and turning in her sleep. She kept having the same nightmare. She was standing in a church and she saw her ten year old self sitting there at her dad's funeral only there was no casket, then suddenly she's in a room and dad keeps saying "it's time you need to come, it needs to be closed" and behind him she can barely see a blond woman.
Abby woke up panting for breath and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She glanced over at the clock and it read 6:03.
"There is no way I'm getting back to sleep" she muttered she remembered the dream and pulled her blanket around her tighter.
"Then he says 'it's time you need to come, it needs to be closed" repeats Abby, it was after school and she was telling the science club about her dream.
"It sounds horrible "said Corrine "but it was just a bad dream" she said in a reassuring tone.
"I know, but there's something about it it's like-" "a message" cuts in Josie.
"Yeah, how did you know?" she ask looking at her.
"Remember when I told you my mom was working for Victor Pearson" said Josie cringing "I kept having one about her, it was like a warning or a message of some kind" said Josie.
"Now I'll I have to do is figure out what kind of message was in my dream" said Abby, who determined to do it at any cost.
