Disclaimer: I do not own any of the CSINY characters, but Abby is mine!
A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone. I got a chance to write some more, so here is another chapter…
Snowbear96 – hope you enjoy this one
LadeeBear – I tried to make Abby a believable character, but at the same time didn't want to make her life too dramatic.
Wingsofabutterfly86 – thanks! Hope you enjoy the chapter.
The Little Corinthian - New York was amazing. My friend and I have over 200 pictures from our weekend. The weather was fantastic, rained a bit, but the temp stayed about 74 throughout the weekend, it was great sightseeing weather!
Legolasgirl- I made her friends out to be kind of harsh, but I know sometimes my friends can be a little too persistent when they want me to see it their way sometimes ;)
Demolished-soul – I have lost count of the times my friend's have embarrassed me in public places, although Abby's friends were exceptionally mean. I'm trying to fit in more of Abby's background so you guys can get a sense of where she's coming from…hopefully its working!
-Love-You-Always-And-Forever – Thanks! I'm worried about the DL a little bit…My cat's name is actually Miss Piggy. She's the coolest cat in the world, and does all the same things Miss Piggy does in the story, including chewing on notebooks, she LOVES chewing on paper. My brother and I named her when we were kids; she's older now, but still fat and furry!
RagazzaPazza – Glad you like it. Don is a gentleman, he would never try anything like that ;) Abby's cat will probably be happy to have the apartment to herself…free to do as she pleases
Chilli-peppers – Glad you like my writing…hope you enjoy this one…
Trixie7 – Thanks for the review!
Bluenose – Good idea….hmmm, maybe I should have thought of that…
Chapter 5
Abby woke with a start. It took her a good few seconds before she realized she was not in her own bed.
'This is no good' she thought to herself as she realized she was in Flack's bed. His cell phone started to ring. She felt Flack move beneath her. His movements stilled when he realized what was going on. Abby felt his hand move up her back slowly.
"You gonna answer that?" she asked him quietly.
"It's work." He grunted.
"Doesn't that mean you should answer it?" She said. Flack her smile against his chest through his t-shirt.
Flack sighed and stuck his arm out for his phone on his bedside table. "Shit." He cursed when he couldn't find it.
"It's on this side." Abby told him as she rolled over to pick up the phone and hand it to Flack.
"Thanks." He smiled taking the phone from her.
"You're welcome." She smiled back as she moved to get out of bed.
"Wait." He told her and grabbed her hand. She looked back at him unsure of what to do, but she stayed on the bed.
"Flack." He answered the phone. Not taking his eyes off Abby.
"I'm not on call, you need to call Vicaro. I have desk duty for two more weeks. 'Sokay man. Later." He said and hung up the phone.
"You don't have to go." Flack said softly.
"Look, Ducky. This was really nice of you, but I should go home. They'll be worried." Abby avoided looking him in the eye.
Flack released her hand and ran his hand over his face. "Shit, I'm sorry Abby. I shouldn't have let it get this way."
"What?" she asked, not moving. When Flack didn't answer, she pressed again. "Don, what are you talking about?"
"I know that I'm too old for you, I just thought….never mind. You should go, you're right." He looked away from her.
"Ya, nice try, but now I'm interested in what you have to say, so spit it out. Too old? What is that?" she asked arranging herself so she was sitting cross legged on the bed staring directly at Flack.
"You're very persistent." Flack commented nervously.
"Part of my charm." She replied. Flack could tell she was smiling.
"Are you enjoying my awkward moment?" Flack asked looking towards her.
"Perhaps. Now get on with it."
Flack shifted nervously. He didn't know what to say.
"Don, do you have a crush on me?" she asked, she had a teasing tone in her voice.
Flack groaned. "Is it that obvious?"
Abby laughed. She moved forward and leaned over Flack. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"I want to see your face; I need to turn on the light." She reached forward to turn on the light. Flack's hands instinctively moved to her hips to steady her as she reached over him. "That's better." She said once the light was on.
She sat back on her haunches, but stayed leaning over Flack. He, in turn, kept his hands on her hips.
"For the record, I have a crush on you too." She giggled. Flack smiled, as relief flooded over him. He leaned up slightly and captured her lips with his. She put her hands on his chest to steady herself. He slid his hands up just far enough so they slipped under her shirt onto the smooth skin of her sides.
She smiled against his lips and pulled away. "And you're not too old for me. Why would you think that?"
"You're just….really young, and perky, you know, the type that goes for the young, successful jock type, not the injured cop."
"Selling yourself a little short, no?" she chuckled.
"I can just barely climb the stairs to my apartment Abby, my stamina is limited…..that translates into decreased, uh…capabilities in other, ummm, areas of my life…" Flack said blushing nervously.
"Ya, nice try, but you can't back out of this now. Too late." She smiled and kissed him again.
'Dammit' Flack thought 'This is heaven' as his hands slid up under her shirt under her over her bare back. Abby's hands travelled down his chest. She started to pull at the hem of his t-shirt, but Flack pulled away sharply.
"Wait. Abby, we can't, I can't." he said slightly breathless.
"Ok. Don, it's ok, you know. Just tell me, ok?" she said seriously. She looked beautiful, looking down at him, her lips swollen, face slightly flushed and her hair framing her face.
"Abby, I can't ask you to wait. It's unfair." He started.
"Like I told you before, you can't back out now, and how do you know that I don't want to wait?" she queried.
"Uh, I just assumed." He stuttered.
"Ducky, I have to wait. Can't be on the pill, remember? I have a strict 'no sex before the three month mark' policy, and even then, I have to be sure, we would have to be sure…." She looked away from him, suddenly uncomfortable.
"Okay." He said quietly, rubbing her thigh. "But we can, uh, look into it, right?"
Abby looked at him again and smiled shyly. "You mean, like date?"
Flack smiled. "Ya, why not?"
Abby smiled back. "This is so not the romantic way a girl likes to imagine being asked out."
"Well, I don't wanna be like all those other saps." He teased back.
"Right, of course. Look, I'm going to go to my place. I'm sure Ashley and Amanda are conjuring up stories about me flashing my boobs to some guy on the subway." She said getting off the bed.
"I'll call you?" Flack asked.
"Sure, the girls are here for a week, and then I'm free." She walked to his side of the bed and leaned down to kiss him.
"You know, when you lean over like that, leaves nothing to the imagination." Flack smirked.
Abby blushed. "Is it really that bad?" she brought her hand to her chest.
Flack laughed. "Not for me it isn't."

"Ok, so I'll see you in three months?" Abby smiled and hugged Chantal.
"You'd better!" she laughed.
Abby turned to Ashley and Amanda. "Don't let her stress herself out, ok? And no birth horror stories!"
They laughed. "Still can't believe you slept in his bed!" Ashley squealed.
"Ok, time to go through security girls!" Abby said trying to change the subject, it didn't work.
"Look Abs, I know we rag on you for moving away and stuff, but we love you, you know that right?" Amanda smiled. Abby hugged her.
"I know you do."
Ashley stepped forward to hug Abby. "He seems like a good guy Abs. Remember, no glove, no love…"
"Ashley!" Abby gasped. Ashley just laughed.
"Ok, that care kid, and three months from now, you'll come home, right?" Chantal asked as they started walking away.
"Of course! Wouldn't miss the birth for all the money in the world!" Abby winked. "Now go get on your plane!"
