	Drabble: Children
	Written for the Primeval100 challenge 200 - past prompts (185 - Children) Title: Children Author: Athene Fandom: Primeval Characters: Abby/Connor Rating: PG Warnings: None Spoilers: None Challenge: 200 – past prompts (185 – Children) Word count: 100 Disclaimer: Not mine. ITV and Impossible Pictures own them. They can’t have children, Abby said. It’s stupid, selfish, irresponsible, knowing that any day one, or both, of them might go to work and never come home. Connor didn’t argue. He never argues. But sometimes she catches the happy sparkle of hope in his eyes when he sees small children playing. Until he looks at her and the hope vanishes, replaced by something that Abby can’t stand to see, and that makes her turn away and bury her own feelings deep down. Those are the nights when Connor holds her close, but his silence says more than words ever could. Tags: abby maitland, connor temple, connor/abby, drabble, het

Eek! I know Abby's trying to be practical, but sometimes you just have to leave practicality aside...

I can just imagine them having the conversation, and the hope dying in Connor's eyes as he agrees and fails to argue about it *huggles them both*

They'd both be awesome parents, they just need to stop worrying about everything else for a while and think of what's best for *them*, not the rest of the world.

he would! He'd be all enthusiastic and bouncy and protective and panicky and flaily, but he'd be great.

yeah, it all makes rational sense, but at the same time doing what is sensible sometimes stops you being happy.

Thanks. This one *really* didn't want to edit down to 100 words, I've been working on it since last Friday, so I'm glad it works well.

Meep! Intense drabble. A whole world for Abby and Connor in just 100 words. Brilliant (especially Connor didn't argue. He never argues)

poor Abby and Connor, maybe if he *did* argue more often they might be better off? But of course he won't, because it's Abby, and he can't say no to her.
