I don't consider this my best chapter I've ever written but I wanted to get it up and the next chapter up before I leave in a few days.


A month later, everybody at the ARC knew about Abby and Connor. Not only had it become obvious, but the day after the doctor's appointment, Abby had called Jess and told her. Jess had then told everyone else at the ARC. Abby wasn't supposed to know, but they were planning a baby shower for her within the next month or so. Connor had apparently started the idea and she had gotten it out of him. She was surprised that he had even tried to keep it a secret. He knew that she could always get something out of him.

For the past month, Lester had let Abby out on some Anomaly alerts. As time went on, however, he let her out less and less until she was doing all desk work. Abby completely hated this idea and had kept trying to sneak past the guards until Lester had ordered her to stay home about a week ago. So now she wasn't allowed to go to work and Connor stillwouldn't let her drive so she was basically stuck at home all day until Connor returned. She would prefer to be out but this had given her time to look at larger flats or a small house for her and Connor. Originally, they were just going to stay in their flat but after learning about the twins, they decided it would be best to move to a larger place. And now Abby thought she had found the right one- a small house not too far from the ARC which was nice.


Since she was now well into her 6th month of pregnancy, she had started dragging Connor baby shopping with her and Jess. Every time, Connor would drag his feet and would end up being a pain instead of a help.

"Why are we buying all this stuff now anyways? When we move, were just gonna have to pay to have it moved again!" Both girls glared at him while comparing different types of furniture. He grumbled and turned back to strollers he was supposed to be looking at. 'How am I supposed to pick one? They all do the same thing! Why does it matter if one has speakers in it or not?' He glanced at his watch and turned to Abby. "It's nearly three. We should be getting to the house." Putting his arm around her shoulders, he steered her towards the doors before she could protest.

The house was a lot nicer than either of them had expected. It was a small, quaint two story house that had a large yard which would be perfect for their girls. It had enough rooms so that each child could have their own room and so that Abby could set up a reptile room for her various creatures. As much as Connor liked them, he would rather them not be in the living room. There was also enough room for Rex to soar about the house easily.

Connor walked up next to her staring out at the yard and enclosed her in a hug. "Welcome home Abby."


Abby stared around the nursery. She and Connor had just finished painting it a pale lilac. Connor looked around happily.

"It looks great Abs."

"You really think so?" She laid her hands over her stomach. She had grown a lot the past weeks. And they could now feel them moving! It had taken her completely unaware the first time it had happened. Now she couldn't wait for the next time she could feel them. Abby turned to leave the room. "Oh! Almost forgot. I'm going out shopping tomorrow with Jess for the shower." She left the room and Connor heard her going down the stairs. This was perfect! It would give him almost an entire day to set up everything he would need.


Abby entered the house after a long day of shopping. She was worn out and wanting nothing more than a hot, relaxing bath. Connor poked his head out of the kitchen.

"You're back. Good. I have something for you." He walked out of the archway. Abby stared. He was in a suit and holding something behind his back. She tried to edge around the room to see what it was. "No peeking Abs!" he scolded. "Now close your eyes."

"Connor! I don't want to do this now! Either tell me what's going on or let me go relax!"

"I'll tell you what's going on but please close your eyes first!" He pleaded. God. He could be so stubborn! Abby sighed irritably but closed her eyes. She could hear him moving about the room until he was right in front of her. "Good. Now open!" she could hear the excitement in his voice.

Abby opened her eyes to find a gorgeous floor length, navy blue dress lying over the arm of the couch. It was studded with rhinestones on the chest and straps. She gasped and stared at Connor, stuttering incoherently before moving over to where he was standing.

"It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you Connor. But... Why are you giving it to me?" she looked at him suspiciously. He just smiled.

"Just go put it on and get ready. I'll be waiting down here."


Half an hour later, Abby was sitting in the car with Connor driving to who knows where. The entire ride, she had been trying to get him to tell her what was going on.

"Abby! We're almost there! Please stop!" Almost immediately, he pulled the car into a parking lot. Abby got out and looked around, her jaw dropping. Connor came around the car and slipped his arm around her waist.

"Wh-Why are we here?"

"Do you not like it? We could go somewhere else." He turned back to open the car door.

"NO!" She grabbed his arm. "No. We're staying." Who wouldn't want to stay at one of the nicest restaurants in London? What was he thinking, trying to leave? Connor chuckled.

"Come on then! Let's not stay out here all night." Walking inside, Abby's jaw dropped even more. It was amazing inside! She couldn't believe that she was inside! Passing outside, Abby had always envied anyone who was inside. Now she was inside! She couldn't believe it!

After dinner, Abby started heading back to the car. Connor grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going? We're staying here tonight!" Abby just stared at him then wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.

"Thank you so much Connor." He kissed her forehead and pressed the room key into her palm.

"Go up and find our room. I gotta get something from the car."


10 minutes later, Abby had finally found the correct room. She walked in and stared. It was huge! Closing the door, Abby noticed vases filled with different types of flowers around the room. One held lilacs, another red and white roses, and yet another with yellow tulips. Turning to open the curtains, she heard the door open. Connor walked in. holding something.

Handing her an envelope, he murmured in her ear. "Do you like them?"

"They're beautiful Connor." Was whispered into his neck. "What's this?" She had finally turned her attention to the envelope Connor handed her.

He smiled. "Just open it"

Turning it over, Abby saw the word 'Will' written on the flap. Curious, she opened it and found another envelope. Pulling it out, there was the word 'You' written again, on the flap. She looked up at Connor watching her. Smiling, she pulled out the envelope and saw yet another with 'Marry' on it. Now knowing what the last one would say, she pulled it out. Glancing at the 'Me?' on it, she turned it over to find it wasn't an envelope. Staring at Connor, he held out a blue rose with a ribbon tied to it. Taking it, she noticed a sapphire and diamond encrusted ring attached to the ribbon. She looked up, with tears in her eyes.

"Connor-"

"Abby, I love you. I always have. I-" He was interrupted by Abby throwing her arms around him and kissing him.

" Yes, Connor. Yes." Was whispered between kisses.


A/N: Not my best but I hope you liked it! Next chapter will be up hopefully before Friday when I'm gone for a week. I know I didn't describe the dress well so if you want to see what I used as inspiration, this is what I was sort of trying to base it off of:.com/images/20129_navy_. This is what I based the ring off of:.com/#section=gallery&productid=K1120SDC-R Also, if you have any name ideas for the babies, I'm still debating names and will take any suggestions into consideration. Thanks in advance! Please comment and review!
