The Making of a Family
by: Rhiannon & AJ
Jed turned down the covers of his bed while he waited for Abbey to come out
of the bedroom. He shook his head, she had looked so miserable since he
helped out of the movie theater... He thought she would be over her movie
scare by now, but something was, as Ariel put it, freaking her out.
Jed heard the door to his bathroom open and he turned around to find Abbey
leaning in the doorway. He froze for a moment; She was wearing the sweatpants
and the old t-shirt he had given her to wear until Ariel got back from their
house... Her high heeled shoes were off and Jed could see just how short she
really was.
He smiled at her, "You look a little bit better," He walked over to her and
helped her over to his bed. "Climb up here and lay down."
"Mr. President, I can just lay on the couch until-"
"Nonsense," Jed interrupted. "I don't want to hear another word about it from
you." Jed pulled the covers up around her, "Feel any better?"
Abbey nodded, "A little..." she managed a small smile, "I suppose the pizza
and the movie were too much for me today."
"I suppose so."
"I'm sorry about the carpet..."
"It's all right," Jed replied.
"Thank you," Abbey said quietly.
Jed spoke just as softly, "You're welcome..." He started to brush her hair
out of her face, but then he caught himself. He glanced down at the floor and
then back at her, "I'm going to see what the boys are getting into ... you
stay here and try to sleep..."
"Okay," Abbey replied as he walked out the door."
