Marcus stared at Abby, did she really just say that? She was pregnant? That could not be possible because there had been no one since him and they had always used protection.
"Abby who-"
"Who do you think?" She hissed.
"Well it's not mine."
"Oh yes Marcus I hate to break it to you but it is."
"We were always careful."
"No, not the last time. Or have you forgotten?"
He suddenly remembered her showing up at his door in the middle of the night. Empty bottle in hand, eyes bloodshot, begging him to let her in. He remembered pinning her to the wall placing kissesthat would leave bruises along her neck. He remembered her screaming his name, even in her drunken state she managed to sound sexy. The memories of her in his bed were too much, he quickly snapped back to reality.
"How long have you known?" He asked.
"A while, but I wasn't planning on keeping the secret much longer. She sighed walking toward him.
"Oh really? Because from where I'm standing you look like you aren't planning on telling anyone."
Abby sighed, "How am I supposed to raise a baby Marcus?"
He placed his hands on her shoulders, "Not just a baby Abby, my baby." He stared into her eyes.
She pulled away, his touch burning holes into her shoulders, "I wasn't going to say it was yours."
"Oh? And just who were you planning on fooling? Jaha?" He snorted.
Truth was Abby hadn't thought that far in her plan yet, "I don't know." She shrugged.
"So no one then?"
"I didn't say that. Whoever it was going to be they were much better than you could ever be."
He tried not to let her words get to him. He should have known that her icy front would rear its ugly head once they landed on Earth.
"You would keep me from my child?"
Abby turned so that her back was facing him.
"You don't deserve a baby Kane."
Her use of his last name did not go unnoticed.
"And you do Doctor Griffin?"
"I think I did a pretty damn good job at raising the one I already have." She turned back around to face him.
"I have reason to believe Jake did most of Clarke's raising." He growled.
Abby drew in a deep breath before stomping over to him.
"Don't you ever talk about my husband again." She screamed before raising a hand preparing to slap him.
Marcus grabbed her wrist firmly.
"Easy there Abby. You told me Jake was just a friend."
That was true she had said that late one night that her and Jake had a friendly relationship, not really a romantic one although they were married.
"You also said he never made you feel as good as I did." He breathed pressing a kiss to her neck.
That was true too.
"No." she moaned as he kissed up to her lips, capturing them with his. For a second she responded back and almost let him win but then she remembered the pain he had caused her. With one quick movement she shoved him away.
There eyes locked, breathing heavily they stared at each other, neither one backing down, his hand still holding her wrist.
"Let me go" she hissed.
"Not until you agree to let me raise my child."
"No, this is my baby and I need to keep it safe from monsters like you."
His hand loosened around her wrist and let it fall down to her side.
"Monsters like me? If you haven't noticed Abby, we've had to build a fence around our camp to keep our people safe from the monsters of this damn planet. You're not going to keep that child safe without my help."
He had her there, as much as it pained her to admit it she needed his help to keep their child from the Grounders. Clarke was still missing and that was bad enough, she had already lost one child to the Grounders she was not going to lose this one too.
"Okay Marcus, you can protect the baby but that's it."
He looked at her, "You realize people will start to talk?"
"If they want to talk let them. We don't have to tell them anything." She sat back down behind her desk.
He sighed in frustration, she was brushing this off like it was nothing. This meant that the camp would have to know about there relationship, if that was even what you wanted to call it.
"Abby, I want you to tell them it's mine." He said.
"Oh that's very big of you Marcus, owning up to your mistakes."
There was no way she was going to talk about his child like that. He walked to her and pulled her up out of the chair, "The only mistake I ever made was sleeping with you." He gritted his teeth.
Abby stood there stunned, Marcus had a firm grip on her arm and he was not going to let her go.
"Marcus I didn't-"
"Save it Abby. If this is the kind of mother you are going to be then this child will need me in its life as much as possible." He let her go and she stumbled backwards into the chair.
Marcus knew that he was the reason she had become so cold and detached. He knew she cried in her quarters late at night after they had ended their little charade. He pretended not to notice on those days she came to meetings with red puffy eyes and a faint smell of moonshine. He thought that if he ignored her pain then it wouldn't remind him that he was the one who had caused it in the first place.
"Abby why are you doing this?" He asked, as soon as he said it he regretted it.
"Why am I doing this? I'm doing this so you'll know how I felt. How I felt when you told me that night as I lay in your bed after we made what I thought was love, that my daughter was being sent to the ground. I want you to feel the pain of losing a child Marcus."
Marcus started to leave the room, he was tired and did not have the energy to argue with her. He knew he would say something to hurt her even more so he just stayed silent. Abby sat behind her desk as she watched him leave without a word. She knew this would be a difficult battle but she was going to win, whatever it took to keep her child safe from the pain Marcus Kane had inflicted on her.
