Throughout the next month or so, things had gotten better. They got their flat back along with Rex. Abby had become good friends with Jess and Connor didn't mind her but she did kind of take over his job so he sort of had to dislike her because of that. The first big surprise Abby and Connor got was after Abby had visited the ARC's doctor to make sure they hadn't picked up anything while gone. Connor had gone to help with an Anomaly when he got a message from Abby. 'Hey Con. It's me. I know you're busy but-'she sounded as if she was about to cry. 'I really need to talk to you.' She was crying now. 'Come back to the flat when you're done.' Connor stared at his phone in disbelief. A million ideas ran though his head. Each worse than the last. He looked over at Becker with tears in his eyes. He nodded and Connor ran out of the building and to his car.
Connor burst through the flat door and found Abby, red eyed, sitting on the couch, holding something. He ran up to her and noticed she was still crying. He sat on the couch, pulled her into his lap and held her tight. "What's wrong Abs"' He murmured while kissing her. She curled closer to him and silently handed him a slip of paper. He unfolded it and stared. "Is this..." he started.
"Yes. I didn't know how else to tell you." She wailed as another batch of tears streamed down her cheeks. She curled closer to him and waited for him to say something.
"Abby. Umm. Wow. This is... This is Brilliant!" A huge grin splayed across his face. "This is great!" He tilted her head up and kissed her. "Is this why you were upset?" Abby nodded, a small smile returning to her face. Hearing Rex's chirps, they looked up. He soared down to them and landed on the table chirping happily. "Cheer up! This is great news! Look, even Rex is happy and he doesn't know what's going on!"
Abby chuckled. "He's always happy, Connor. That's why I love him." Connor looked slightly hurt at this. She playfully punched him on the arm. "I love you too, you dork. Gosh. Jealous of a lizard..." They were both laughing now. "Hey Rex!" she called out between laughs. "We're having a baby!" He let out a series of chirps and soared about the room.
Silence filled the room while Connor and Abby sat in thought. Connor was the first to break it.
"Do you-"He stuttered and coughed. "Do you know when you're due or-or anything?"
"Umm. Well the doctor said I was about three or four months and I haven't got the sex yet."She grinned up at him. "I wanted you to be with me when we learn that." She pulled herself off his lap and padded into the kitchen. "I'm gonna make something to eat. Want anything?"
Connor followed her and wrapped his hands around her waist. "I think you know what I want." He murmured into her ear. She turned to face him and planted a kiss on his lips. He returned the affection and lifted her up in his arms. They broke apart only when oxygen was necessary. Connor carried Abby into her room and shooed Rex out.
"Connor! For the last time! I don't need your help!" She screamed at him whilst pushing him out of her room. "Just let me get ready in peace for once!"
It was the morning of her next doctor's appointment. Throughout the past week, Connor had been trying to help her with everything. It was not only aggravating, but Connor didn't seem to understand what she was trying to tell him. She could do, and preferred to do, most things on her own.
After practically tying Connor to a chair so she could get ready, Abby was sitting in the passenger side of her car, much to her annoyance. Connor had flat out refused to let her drive for the remainder of her pregnancy.
After nearly an hour of Connor enduring Abby's many whines of 'Let's just go. We can come back later' or 'It's too crowded' or more recently 'What if something's happening at the ARC? We should be helping', Connor finally gave up. As they were about to leave, a nurse called out "Abby Maitland?" After fighting Abby, Connor took her by the waist and steered her to the waiting nurse. She looked at them. "Are you Abby?"
Abby glared at Connor. "Yes. And this dork next to me is my boyfriend Connor Temple."
"Boyfriend?" He hissed in her ear once the nurse had turned away.
"Well that's what you are, isn't it?" She hissed back.
When they got to their room, the nurse left. Connor sat with Abby on the table and put his arm around her shoulders. She was shaking, probably from nerves. He stared at her, thinking about how they had gotten here. If they had never gone through the Anomaly, would they still be here? He doubted it. Maybe in a few years but definitely not right now.
Abby was deep in thought. She couldn't believe this was happening! She had always wanted children but wasn't ready for them now. She was trying to figure out what to tell the doctor. Technically, they had conceived 65 million years ago while in the Cretaceous. But she couldn't exactlysay that. They would call both of them insane! She didn't want that to happen. But she didn't know what to tell them. Staring down at her stomach, she imagined her future son or daughter. Lost in thought, she didn't notice when the doctor arrived until Connor shook her gently.
Abby stared at the picture in her hand. She couldn't believe what the tech had told her. They were having twins! She couldn't be more excited! Connor had wanted to keep the sexes a surprise but Abby had begged the tech to tell her at least. Once she had said that, Connor couldn't stand to not know. They would never forget those words. 'And it looks like... It's a girl. And the other... Also a girl! Congrats!' The tech smiled down at Abby who was staring at Connor, tears in her eyes and their hands intertwined. He leaned down and murmured 'I can't wait' against her cheek then moved his lips down and gently kissed her.
