Marcus opened the door to Medical only to discover Abby was not there. Jackson was toward the back of the room organizing some supplies it appeared. Marcus walked over to the you her man.
"Sorry to bother you Jackson but have you seen Abby?" he asked.
After she had left him outside he had taken a short walk around the camp. He needed to clear his head and evaluate some things. He decided that Abby was the most important thing in his life. He would allow her to make the decisions from now on. They were equals but she had done the parenting thing before so he figured she knew best.
"NO Kane I haven't" Jackson replied "last I knew she was with you."
"Thanks Jackson." Marcus replied leaving the room. As he made his was down the hall a piercing scream stopped him dead in his tracks. It was Abby. Quickly he started running toward the sound. A few guards began to run toward him.
"Kane, Dr. Griffin is in with the prisoner!" one shouted.
"What the hell did you fools let her in there for?" He growled pushing them aside.
"She said you knew!"
"Of course she did." Marcus said as he reaches the door. He tried to open it but just as he suspected it was locked.
"Abby! Abby it's me it's Marcus." He called his body pressed against the door.
Inside the room Abby had her back against the very same door. Diana stood a free feet away with the knife in her hand an evil grin on her face.
"Marcus I'm here." Abby replied trying to sound calm.
"She's just fine Kane!" Diana called twirling the blade.
"Marcus she's got a knife!" Abby shouted making sure he knew what he was dealing with.
Marcus felt his entire body tense. That was his baby and his . . . what was Abby to him? Not his wife yet but not his friend anymore. He realized he had not asked her to be his, girlfriend just yet. He might Jed himself for not k owing what she was just yet. Never the less there was one thing Marcus did know. He loved Abby and needed to protect her.
"Diana I want you to open this damn door!" Marcus' order was muddled by the door.
"See Kane I can't do that because you'll kick me up and the two of you can go live happily ever after."
"Damn right we will." Abby spat not showing a single ounce of fear.
"Diana don't do anything stupid."
"Nothing I do is stupid Kane you should know that." Diana took a few steps closer to Abby.
"Back off you crazy bitch." Abby gritted her teeth.
Back on the other side Marcus stood with several guards aground him. He needed to get Abby out of there as soon as possible.
"Dr. Griffin can hold her own Sir." one of the guards told him.
"No she really can't." Marcus sighed.
The men all looked at him confused. Marcus knew he had to tell them about the baby so they would understand just how delicate the situation was. He lowered his voice, "Dr. Griffin is pregnant."
The men's eyes all grew wide. After a few seconds it looked like most of them had put the pieces together. The camp had speculated something was going on between Marcus and Abby but no one had the courage to really ask. A scream from the room broke the silence and Marcus pounded on the door.
Diana had lunged at Abby slicing her arm with the life, blood was everywhere. Abby fell to the floor clutching g her arm. The wound wasn't too deep she determined.
"You won't leave this room alive." Diana snarled looking down at her.
Abby stared up at her, her arm throbbing and entire body shaking. It felt like she was going to be sick. No, she needed to be strong. It was just a cut and nothing more. Diana could not win, she would not let her.
"The only one leaving this room dead is you Diana." She raised her foot up and shoved it into Diana's stomach. The other woman let out a cry of pain as she stumbled back and fell to the floor. Abby quickly got up and grabbed the life that Diana had managed to drop.
"Whose in charge now Bitch?" Abby stood over Diana holding the knife above her. Slowly Abby back up and unlocked the door, never taking her eyes off Diana. Guards swirled into the room and secured Diana.
"Abby" Marcus exclaimed once he saw her arm.
"It's nothing." She replied falling into his embrace. He held her tight for a few seconds. "I was so afraid." He whispered into her hair.
She laughed and looked up at him, "You afraid?"
"Keep your voice down." He whispered.
"Sir" one of the guards said "what would you like us to do with the prisoner?"
Marcus held Abby close as he turned to face Diana who was now handcuffed between two guards.
"I want around the clock surveillance on her until a suitable punishment can be given."
"Are you going to be the one delivering my punishment Chancellor? " Diana cackled.
Marcus started toward her but Abby pulled him back. "She's not with it." He saw as the blood dropped from her arm and sighed. "We need to get you to Jackson." He placed his hand on the small of her back as they left the room.
After Jackson had stitched up Abby's wound Marcus sat with Abby in his, or was it their quarters now? He sat comfortably on the couch with her feet in his lap as she sat next to him.
"What are you thinking? Going to see her without me?" He asked.
Abby frowned, "I can take care of myself you know."
"Abby I don't doubt that, hell I don't think anyone does. The point is a woman like Diana is almost as dangerous as the Grounders."
"I thought maybe if I just scared her a little she would back off."
"Diana isn't one to scare easily."
"She saw us you know? On the Ark she walked in."
"I never wanted you to know that."
"Marcus I don't care what anyone sees anymore. We've been through enough in this . . ." She trailed off not knowing what they were even doing.
"Relationship?" He finished.
Abby smiled, "I mean if that's what you want to call it."
Marcus cleaned his theist before upping her face in his hand. "Abby, the camp knows now. They know everything. There's no need to hide what we are doing anymore. So if you'll have me I'd like to call you mine."
She felt his hand got on her cheek, she loved him. She was deeply and madly in love with this man who used to be her enemy. Being on the ground had changed them both for the better.
"So does this mean you're my boyfriend now?" She laughed.
"I suppose it does. But some say Abby I want to be so much more."
"Well Chancellor, if you play your cards right maybe you will be." She smiled leaning into him for a passionate kiss. They were now official. No more hiding and sneaking around. No more secrets, no more awkward stares if public. They were feee. Free to be with each other. Free to be Marcus and Abby, the couple.
