A\N: My second 'When love comes to town' oneshot. I love this movie so much and this amazing cast, so I hope you enjoy, Angels. This is a slight sequel to 'Nightmares in Bliss'.
Author Abby Houston sits in the dark kitchen with the patio doors open, the only light is the screen from her laptop. It's 3 am and she's writing another chapter for her book, a glass of wine beside her. Spencer and the kids went to bed hours ago but she couldn't sleep, the need to start a new chapter overpowering her need for sleep. It's been two months since she and Spencer spoke about Abby trusting him with her nightmares and since that morning their relationship has only improved.
Her fingers move rapidly against the keys on her laptop keyboard, her fingers instantly knowing where the keys are without looking down. She only pauses to take sips from her nearly empty wine glass beside her laptop.
"Abby?" She's so engrossed in writing that she didn't hear Spencer come into the kitchen, dressed in pyjamas pants with no shirt. She looks up and sees Spencer standing in the kitchen, leaning against the counter, his eyes on her.
"Spencer, it's 3 am." The redheaded author says, saving a draft on her laptop. Spencer smiles as he walks towards her.
"Yes, and you should be in bed." Spencer says from behind her. Abby sighs as she closes her laptop and finishes her wine. "I couldn't sleep." Abby says softly as she goes and closes the patio door, taking a minute to admire the beauty of Bliss, the place she now calls home. Arms wrap around her from behind.
"Kitten, tell me what's going on inside that pretty head of yours." Spencer asks in her ear, sending shivers down her back. Abby closes her eyes and leans back against him
I'm scared to close my eyes." Abby admits quietly to him quietly. Spencer sighs and tightens his arms around her waist.
"I'm here, Abby, you're here in our home with me. You'll never be with him again. I promise." Spencer promises, Abby turns around in his arms and buries her face in his chest.
"I love you, Spencer Alexander." Abby says, her voice muffled.
"I love you too, Abby Houston." Spencer says softly, kissing her hair. Abby yawns cutely and buries her face deeper into his chest.
"Come on, Miss Houston, it's bedtime for you." Spencer says, scooping her up into his arms, Abby puts her head on his chest and falls asleep to the rhythm of his heartbeat and his footfalls as they make their way up the stairs to their bedroom.
Spencer Alexander puts the second love in his life on their bed and covers her up with the quilt, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "I love you, Abby." He whispers, not wanting to wake her up. He lies beside her and simply stares at her sleeping face. She looks so beautiful when she sleeps. He's glad that she's sleeping now, if only it's for 4 hours. He hates that even after two months have passed, she's still scared of going to sleep in case she wakes up in the cabin with Walter.
Spencer takes hold of one of Abby's hands in his own and places it over his beating heart.
"Do you hear that, Abby?" He asks her sleeping form. "That's my beating heart and as long as it's beating, it's beating for you, and while this heart is beating, nothing bad will ever happen to you, I will protect you until my dying breath. I promise you that, Abby Houston." Spencer whispers in the darkened bedroom. He kisses Abby on her lips one last time before he falls asleep beside his author.
Unbeknownest to him, Abby heard every word he whispered to her.
As long as both their hearts beat for each other, they would protect the other one until their dying breaths.
A\N: I love this movie. I hope you like this one, I'm working on some more NCIS stories and a few One Tree Hill ones, so keep an eye out for them, enjoy Angels.
