A month had passed since the last vision for Grace. She was asleep in bed with Abe, curled up close to him, in her tank top and shorts. Abe was in his boxers and t-shirt.
Carson was asleep in a crib in their bedroom, and slept pretty decent.
Grace turned in her sleep and finally settled on her back resting her hand in Abe's. She was having a vision in her sleep this time..
She looked to her left in her dream, and saw Abe next to her, she looked down and saw his hand bound. She tried looking more past him but didn't see anything. She looked to her right and saw Maggie and Glenn. Carol wasn't there, Daryl was next to Glenn.
She looked down at herself, and saw herself pregnant. She looked in front of her and just saw the lights again. Then she heard footsteps. She tried looking, but couldn't see anything. She saw Abe was looking unsure, and he kept glancing at her, and her belly. She could tell he was worried. She looked at him, but it was like he couldn't see her eyes very well. She tried leaning towards him in the dream vision but couldn't touch him. Suddenly, a hand turned her. She looked seeing those boots again, she looked more, and saw his jeans, and kept trying to look up She got as far as his chin level. She could hear him shouting angrily, and clenching the bat.
Grace felt the man's hand touch her shoulder and she was pulled up. She was being spun around and looked at. She felt his hand touch her lower back, and butt, then he stopped really looking at her stomach. She inhaled and smelled his scent.
He held up 5 fingers. She shook her head no. He then held up 6 and 7, once again she should her head no. He then held up 8 and she couldn't control herself shaking her head yes.
Grace could make out the smile on his face, it slightly frightened her. He then looked at Abe, and back at her. " Take her to our truck" He mouthed, and looked her over again. He looked at his men. "Yours?" He mouthed.
Grace shook her head. The man laughed. "Not anymore." He turned and walked over to Abe, he raised his bat and brought it down, as she was dragged away. She heard the crushing of Abe's skull, and his body falling over.
Grace started screaming. "ABE!" She shot up in bed, still sleep.
Abe jumped in bed next to her and tried to wake her up. "Grace" He said shaking her slightly. "Wake up, sweetness." He kept shaking her gently. "Grace! It was a bad dream!" He kept shaking her softly.
Grace started crying more, finally waking up. She realized it was a dream, and threw her arms around him and broke down.
"It's okay." Abe promised. "Shhh… I got you. He patted her face gently and kissed her reassuring her. "It's okay." He looked her over. "It was a bad dream sweetness."
Grace clinged to him, and shook her head burying it in his chest. "No it wasn't." She finally stopped crying. " I had another one."
Abe looked down at her worried. He grabbed a glass of water and his shirt. He started washing her face slightly. "Calm down, Breathe, sweetness." He gave her the water to drink.
Grace let him and calmed down a bit. "It felt so real." She took a drink and was shaking. "The man pulled me out of the line, and ordered for me to be taken to their van." She said shaking, and holding onto him. "He walked over to you and…" She felt his hand go on her chin and pull her to look up.
"What happened then?" He asked.
The tears just fell from Grace's eyes. "He asked me if I was yours and I said yes." She opened her eyes. "He replied, not anymore - Then he walked over to you, and he raised the bat and hit you over the head." She was trying to talk herself internally to not breakdown again. "My Gosh, Abe. It was so real. I could hear your skull cracking and your…..your body went limp."
Abe watched her and held her close. "I'm sorry you are having these again." He rubbed her back. "We will not let that happen." He kissed her cheeks and dried her face. "Anything else I should know about?"
Grace bit her lip, and nodded. "I...I was pregnant, again." Her head was pounding from crying so hard, and her body hurt all over. She felt really drained after it.
Abe looked down at her and rubbed her back more. " I promise, I will take care of you. We will try and avoid this." He kissed her gently, and rubbed her shoulders. He was really worried about her and all this going on with her.
Grace nodded listening to him. "I'm so tired, Abe." She laid her head against his and sighed softly. "I'm sorry." She whispered.
"For what?" He asked laying back holding her.
"For being a mess." She sighed softly. "I'm so freaking screwed up."
Abe smiled slightly, "Sweetness. You are not a mess - Nor are you trouble." He kissed her cheek and lips. "I really fudging love you." He laughed. "I was more screwed up than you are.."
Grace wrapped her arms around him and kissed him again. "I really fudgin love you too." She smiled and giggled slightly. She grabbed the blanket, and covered them up and curled up close to him. "Still. I guess we are perfect for each other.." She smiled again.
Abe kissed her again and held her close. "Sleep sweetness." He rubbed her back, watching her fall asleep. He looked over at the crib and saw Carson asleep. He turned to Grace and held her close, letting her face rest in the crook of his neck. He breathed gently, and looked out the window, worried.
It took him 20 minutes to fall back asleep, and once he did, he really slept.
