Disclaimer: I do not own any of the CSINY characters, but Abby is mine!
A/N: Can believe this had made it all the way to chapter 10! I haven't even done half the things I wanted to do with this story…hope you guys are ready for at least a few more chapters!
The Little Corinthian – Glad you enjoyed the church thing. I thought it was fitting, happened to my friend a few weeks ago. It was great! Here is the next chapter, explains what's going on with Abby, hopefully it's not too corny! Two of my friends have had babies in the last 9 months, so I am all about the babies! I just love spoiling them!
Demolished-soul – Here is what happens next! Who couldn't get hooked on a baby plot?
Shelbers – I knew I shouldn't have left the cliffhanger for you guys, but I was feeling particularly mean, so I decided to leave it there for the day. Here is the next one. I've been writing lots, but I have to teach this afternoon, then I'm going to my friend's church with her for the service and a little party. Probably no updates until Sunday night…you'll have to hold out 'till then…
Chilli-peppers – so glad you like it!
Mrs.Fitzgerald – I try to include a little angst, but not too much, since it makes me unhappy, I much prefer good old fashioned fluffiness!
Chapter 10
Dona heard the key slide into the lock of the door. It opened and Abby came in, tossing her keys onto the coffee table.
"Hey, you're just in time, supper's almost ready." He called from the kitchen.
"Ok." She said quietly walking past the kitchen doorway.
Flack's brow furrowed. He walked into the bedroom to see her changing out of her work clothes.
"You okay?" he asked. She turned around, startled.
"Jesus Don! You scared me!" she exclaimed. He could see her eyes her red rimmed.
"Shit Abby, what's wrong?" The question wasn't even out of his mouth and she was sobbing. Flack stepped up to her and took her in his arms.
"Don, I had the most horrible day." She cried. Flack directed her to the bed, and they sat down.
"Ok, tell me what happened."
"I had a doctor's appointment today" pause "at the hospital…"
Flack's breath caught in his throat. He knew that Abby went to the hospital for regular check ups since she was at a higher risk for cancer, but she went every six months…and her last appointment was only 2 months ago. He remembered, because he got lost in the hospital when he went to pick her up.
"Three days ago, I found a lump, so Lindsay and I went." She was silent.
"And?" Flack was almost scared to ask.
"It was nothing." He left out a sigh of relief. "It just made me realize that…I haven't done everything I wanted. And as stupid as this sounds." She laughed a bit. "God, Ashley would give me the biggest 'I told you so' right now…but I want a baby." She said, but couldn't look at him.
Flack just rubbed her back. "Why didn't you tell me this before?" he asked softly.
"I just, I guess I was afraid." She wasn't crying anymore, but she cuddled into his chest.
"Afraid of what?"
"That you'd say you didn't want to." She said whispering.
"That I wouldn't want to have a baby?" he smiled.
She sighed. "Ya."
"Abby, I've knows for months. You've been in babyland ever since Lindsay got pregnant." Abby felt him chuckle.
"It's that obvious?" she asked.
"Oh ya. I can practically see the wheels turning in your head."
"Sorry" she said sitting up and looking him in the eye.
"Don't be. Abby, I love you, you know that right?"
"I love you too." She smiled.

"Don…." Abby said breathlessly. Her body arched in response to his touch.
Flack murmured against her stomach.
"Don, condom…." She huffed. "Bedside table."
Flack moved to kiss her collarbone. He whispered in her ear. "Don't need one."
Abby's eyes flew open. "Don" she said sternly. She had finally gotten his full attention. Their eyes met and he smiled one of his mischievous 'up to no good' smirks.
"Are you sure?" she asked hopefully.
"Never been so sure about anything." He captured her lips to stifle her moan.

"I can't believe you got a ring before I did." Lindsay smirked.
"Ok, in all fairness, you threatened death upon Danny is he proposed when you were pregnant." Abby countered.
Lindsay laughed. "Point taken."
"I can't believe you're getting married!" Lindsay giggled.
"And I can't believe in 3 weeks you are having a baby!" Abby returned.
"This is true. To be honest, I'm getting nervous. How am I supposed to push this out of a hole this big?" Lindsay motioned to her growing belly, and then made a small circle with her hands.
"Ok, first off, it's more like a hole this big." Abby said laughing holding her hands together making a bigger circle "and you're not that big you know."
"Says the girl who hasn't gained over 30 pounds in the last few months." Lindsay rolled her eyes.
"Nice try, but that's normal weight gain when you're pregnant." Abby laughed. "I'm sure I'll be the same."
Lindsay stopped what she was doing and looked at Abby intently. "Are you?"
"Huh? Oh! No!" she replied laughing.
"But you'd tell me if you were, right?" Lindsay asked seriously.
"I promise I will."
Lindsay eyed her. "You're trying, right?"
"Nope." Abby replied non-chalantly.
"But you said…"
"We aren't actively trying. What happens happens." Abby smiled. "Timing is everything."
Lindsay scoffed. "Tell me about it."
Abby laughed.

"This is your last official outing as a pregnant woman, how ya feelin' Linny?" Abby bit back a laugh.
"Like a big red balloon you would buy at the local fair." Lindsay grumbled. "Need I remind you payback is a bitch?"
Danny and Flack laughed, but quickly stifled it when Lindsay shot them a look. She was a very grumpy pregnant woman.
"I don't plan on being that big, so you have nothing on me." Abby smiled and moved to sit beside Lindsay in the limo.
The NYPD's annual Christmas ball was going to be Lindsay's last outing before the baby. She was due in a week, and although she wasn't that big, she felt like a hippo.
"You wish, Flack is taller that Danny and your taller than me, so baby will be bigger."
"Depends on birth size Linny. And didn't your mother say you weighed over 10 pounds at birth?" Abby laughed.
She leaned forward to talk to Lindsay's belly. "You know I'll be the best auntie in the world, so listen to me munchkin. 9lbs, 3 oz, Sunday night."
"Stop corrupting my child." Danny piped up.
Abby glared. "I'll remember that when you need a babysitter Messer."

The phone rang, waking Abby from the most peaceful sleep. She heard Flack grumbling beside her.
"Ignore it. Sleep."
Abby laughed, looking at the clock. "Holy shit!" she exclaimed sitting up. She scrambled over Flack to reach for the phone on his bedside table.
"Umph." Flack grunted as she climbed on top of him.
"Hello?" she answered ignoring Flack's complaints.
"We're on our way to St. Jacob's." Abby recognized Lindsay's voice.
Abby squealed. Flack winced. "We're coming! Keep it in 'till we're there!" she said hurriedly.
Lindsay laughed into the phone as Abby hung up.
"Lindsay's in labor! Let's go!" Abby climbed off Flack and rushed to the closet.
Flack groaned. "Babies have no sense of timing."
"What are you talking about? This is perfect timing! 18 or so hours of labour, and the baby will be born Sunday night! Come on Don! Hurry up!" Abby exclaimed.
Flack got out of the bed and began to get ready. He had to admit, he was enjoying watching Abby's excitement.
"Ducky! Let's go!" she yelled from the hallway.

"I cannot believe you just had a baby." Abby grinned.
Lindsay smiled. "Me neither."
"He's a carbon copy of Danny. He'll be out there charming the ladies before you know it."
Lindsay giggled. "Can you believe I just pushed a 9lb 3oz baby out of my body?"
"At 10:37 on Sunday night!" Abby smiled "I win the baby pool"
"I wish a nine pounds baby upon you." Lindsay smiled.
"I know you do. I'm gonna find Don and go see the baby in the nursery before we go. You did awesome Lindsay."
"Thanks. You're next, you know that, right?" Lindsay grinned.
Abby smiled. "We'll see."
"I have mother's intuition now, I'm all knowing."
"Ha, you wish. See ya Linny. He's really cute."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"He's adorable, no?" Abby grinned.
Flack scoffed. "He looks like Messer."
"Don't be such a grump, Uncle Ducky."
"Sorry, I've been up since late last night listening to Danny worry and Lindsay scream."
"It's practice." Abby winked.
"Different when it's my own kid."
"You don't think your own kid will be all wrinkly and grumpy when it's born?" Abby joked.
"At least it'll be cute." Flack commented.
"Oh come one! He's adorable!"
"Abby, he looks exactly like Danny. Freaks me out to hear you say that."
Abby laughed. "Ok, let's go. I do have to work tomorrow."
