We're Going To Be Okay

Disclaimer - don't own him, don't own her etc.

Carter and Abby from the final scene in Lockdown, and what might happen
afterwards.

Just a short introduction to the whole story.
………………………………………………………………………………………………

I'm so tired. I'm so tired I almost feel drunk.
And hot. God it's hot in here. And my hands are round the back of your neck.
You're so close to me - too close to me, but I'm too tired to feel
embarrassed.
I'm too tired to pretend I don't want you to kiss me - to hold me…

"Tell me we're going to be ok"

She's so close. She looks so beautiful - like she wants me as much as I want
her.
Just kiss her.
But it's the wrong time.
No, just kiss her.
"We're going to be okay"

He kissed her again. Gently.

......................................

Looking back, she thought how funny it was really. That so many months of
emotion and passion locked up, that their first kiss, the kiss should be so
tender, so quiet. She remembered how she just wanted to stay in that moment,
just savouring the feeling of his lips, and then afterwards, just resting
her forehead on his shoulder as he rested his chin on her head, enveloping
her in his arms. It was exactly what she needed, and what he needed. It
wasn't the time for him to sweep her into his arms, like she'd imagined him
doing, in the pouring rain, by the lake ……..
He was holding her, comforting her, telling her he needed her as much as she
needed him - telling her it was going to be okay.......
