Carter felt the familiar tingling situation he felt when Abby took his power and he was pleased that she seemed to be feeling better but he still stayed firm. If she was pregnant...why was she so scared to tell him. He was her husband, they were supposed to be able to trust each other with anything. The only reason he might be upset is if it wasn't his but he knew Abby and he knew she'd never cheat on him.
Carter took a deep breath when he saw Abby pull the test out of her pocket. She kept moving it in her hands not giving him the chance to get a clear view of the results. Was it negative and she thinks he'll be angry that she used a test. That's why they had them...just to make sure. Also she was married and a woman so there was no reason that she shouldn't use them. But they were always careful, they both knew this environment wasn't ideal to have a child in. Also they were still young it's not like they were in a rush. However...that was why they got married so young. The fear that they might not make it to tomorrow. And after today...Carter realized that maybe having a kid now would be good. Sure it wasn't ideal but they always discussed having a family.
Once she started explaining about why she was acting so strange it made sense...an empath. He wanted to ask which kid but that wasn't the pressing situation and he was sure that Cobra would want to know. Whenever some of the kids started displaying powers he wanted to keep a log of it. An empath is always useful and their last one was killed today. She lost focus for a second and...he shook his head to focus back on Abby.
Carter's firm stance melted the moment she started to cry. He couldn't stand tears, especially hers. "Abby, come on, don't cry," he knelt down so they'd be eye level and he placed his hands on her shoulders. He saw the test still clenched in her hand and...he had to know. Carter slid the test out from between her fingers and turned it over. It was blue with a pink plus sign. His heart started to race and he fumbled for the box just to make sure. Sure enough blue with a pink plus sign, positive. It was positive. Abby was pregnant. They were going to have a baby. He stood up his legs a little shaky. Leaning back against the counter he stared down at her.
"Abby," he took her hand and pulled her to stand and follow him into their bedroom. Without warning he spun and swept her up into his arms then proceeded to spin her around laughing. He fell back across their bed with her still in his arms. Carter moved to stroke her hair away from her face and kissed her a few times, "Oh my god, baby, I love you so much right now, you have no idea."
