CHAPTER 5: COMMITMENT...

ABBY'S P.O.V.

ABBY'S APARTMENT...

"What?" I asked with a grin. "I can tell you thinking about so..." Tim began. "The baby." I said and that's when it really hit me.

"I can't believe we're going to be parents...together." Tim told me and I gave a choked laugh.

"I hope this baby is a girl." I told Tim as I put one hand over where the baby lay inside me and looked at him.

"If the baby is girl..." Tim started.

"I want her to have the name, Caitlin." I said as Tim nodded.

"Exactly what I was thinking, Abb. It's hard to believe this is happening...

Losing Kate...
Now we're getting ready to have a baby..." Tim couldn't quit smiling and neither could I.

"I know and I can't wait to meet this baby. I'm just..." I replied.

Tim wrapped his arms around me, as I leaned against him and then I was so comfortable that my eyes were closing.

"Scared, I know, but we're in this together." Tim said wrapping his arms around me.

"I know, Tim. I'm just glad you're not that mad at me." I told him.

"I could never be mad about something that I've always w..." Tim stopped and I sat up just enough to see into his face.

"What, Tim?" I asked.

"Something I've always wanted, from the moment I met you." Tim told me and gave me a look that said he was afraid I would push him away.

This was all new to me and it scared me.

I know Tim wanted a commitment a while back, but I couldn't and even now...well, I'm getting ready to make the biggest commitment when this baby is born.

TIM'S P.O.V.

I looked at Abby afraid that I had moved to fast and she would push me away, she was thinking about something. I couldn't tell though and then she laid her head back on my shoulder.

"I never thought I could commit, but I'm getting ready to make the biggest commitment ever. When this baby is born...that's the only commitment I can think of right now, Tim." Abby said and I felt my shirt getting wet.

"I know, Abs." I told her kissing the top of her head.

Then for a while, we just sat there in silence. I finally looked at her and realized she had fallen asleep.

I just hope that one-day it will be more then a commitment to our baby...

'Our baby...a baby with Abby.'

I wasn't lying when I said it was something I always wanted with her.

I wasn't going to push Abby into a committed relationship with me. She knows how I feel...I just wonder if she feels the same.

I know she is afraid...

Afraid of getting back together with me, because she might get hurt. Afraid of having this baby.

I was scared to, because I wasn't sure where things would go between Abby and I. This was something that both of us had to go through and we would go through it together.

I put my arms around her and felt my eyes closing.

A FEW HOURS LATER...

ABBY'S P.O.V.

I felt arms around me and when I looked, Tim was asleep with a smile on his face. He looked so handsome, but I knew that right now there was no way I could commit to him.

I was already taking a huge step and committing to this baby.

"Abby?" Tim asked opening his eyes.

"What, Timmy?" I asked.

"You looked pretty deep in thought. Are you okay?" Tim inquired looking at me.

"I'm fine." I said sitting up.

Tim removed his arms from around me, got up and stretched.

"Things are changing between us and now they will forever." I told him and he looked at me.

"I know, but it will be for the better though. Just think...a baby and I know that if this baby is a girl she will be as beautiful as you." Tim said.

I didn't know what to say and I know it was the hormones that made tears come to my eyes.

Tim reached over and wiped them away, and then I stepped closer to him. I wanted to kiss him...but I couldn't play with his feelings when I was unsure of myself right now.

I could see in his eyes that he loved me and that scared me a little, I know I love him too...

I just wish I could tell him I love him, I guess I need to adjust to one thing at a time right now.
