Abby tensed as the door to the bathroom flew open with Carter bursting into the room. She felt a mixture of relief but also anxiety. When should she tell him? Should she just blurt it out or should she wait? What if the government had followed them back this time and all Abby could do was sense and manipulate their emotions? She needed Carter's power but she would feel bad taking it without asking, especially because he knew that Abby could control when she took someone's power these days.
She relaxed a little when Carter wrapped her in a big hug and she sighed a breath of relief, wrapping her arms around him too. Abby relaxed even more when he kissed the top of her head, but then looked up at him. "How was it? Is everyone okay? Did you break them out?" It wasn't typical of her to bombard someone with questions like that but Abby knew that if she didn't, she'd blurt out that she was pregnant or demand Carter to hold out his hands and give her his power. She didn't want to tell him yet. Soon, but not yet.
