"Connor's in there?" Abby thought, seeing the state of her climate control room. She could see him plain as day right in front of her, but she couldn't wrap her head around her. The fungus was in the lab- she could understand that. Connor was in the lab- she could understand that too. Connor is in the lab with the fungus- she could not understand. Cutter couldn't be exposed to that. She'd seen what it did to people. That couldn't happen to Connor, not her Connor.

She hear him telling Sarah to lower the temperature even lower. He was going to freeze to death. She couldn't let that happen. She had to help him somehow. She looked around her, for some type of clue and frowned when she realized there was nothing she could do for him.

"Connor," she mumbled. Danny looked over at her sympathetically with a pat on her shoulder.

"He'll be okay," he assured her. "He's too stubborn to let a fungus take him out."

"I'm worried about the cold; it's going to kill him, Danny."

"We won't let the happen," he said pulling her into a hug.

Abby bit her lip and nodded into his chest just as the door was thrown open and a few men carried Connor out."

"Oh thank God," she sighed before yelling at someone to bring blankets as she dropped down next to him.

"Miss Maitland, we have the um…creature," one of the soldiers told her, holding Nancy out for her to see.

"Just hold her for a second," she snapped, without looking away from Connor.

The soldier held the squirming diicton out in front of him. Danny chuckled before taking the diicton. "I've got her," he smiled.

"Thank you," the soldier nodded gratefully.

"Connor, you idiot," Abby sighed later as they sat in one of the empty offices.

"I'm sorry I killed your plants and nearly killed Nancy," Connor told her.

Abby leaned her head on his shoulder, breathing in his scent with relief. "You really should be apologizing for nearly getting yourself killed. How could you do that to me?"

"I needed to save Nancy."

"Givven the choice between you or Nancy, I'd rather have you alive and well and you're moving back in. Jack can sleep on the couch if he wants to stay."

"Abby, really, I'm fine here."

"If I hadn't kicked you out, that never wouldn't have happened. You're moving back in."

"Abby-"

"Connor," she warned.

"Okay, thanks."

"Hey Conn," she asked looking over at him.

"Yeah?" he asked looking back.

She smiled before leaning forward and kissing him, slipping her hands behind his neck as his pulled her closer, just as the door opened. They jumped apart."

"That's probably not the best idea, Abs. We still have to get him to a doctor to make sure none of the fungus in his lungs."

"Sod off, Quinn," she told him with a laugh.

"I thought you might want this back," he said setting Nancy down on the ground.

"Danny, go away," she growled.

"Sure thing, little sis."

"What's that about?" Connor asked once he was gone.

"Oh, we started a family analogy the other day. Cutter's the father, Jenny the mother. Lester is the strict grandfather. Danny and Becker a big brothers and I'm the little sister, Sarah the middle child."

"Then who am I?" Connor asked.

"The dork next door that falls for the baby sister."

"Does she fall too?"

"Long and hard," she confirmed before leaning forward to kiss him gently.
