James sighed softly. He stared into the flames and listened to the calls of unknown creatures that filled the night.

A slight smile appeared on his face as the little wolf cub butted against his hand, whining for attention.

His voice was soft as his eyes flickered to Abby's sleeping form. “Where do we go from here?” he murmured. “Every anomaly just leads to more danger.” His voice cracked. “I don't... I can't believe we will ever get back.”

He almost jumped when Abby replied. “We keep going, James. I promise you, I will get you back to your boys.”

I love the way that Abby is strong and keeps Lester focussed.

I think as she's been there before, Abby would manage to keep her hope. Plus she'd feel it was her responsibility to keep Lester going (field team compared to boss). Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Aw, lovely! :D

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, although I doubt James would agree with you.

Poor James, he's really struggling isn't he? At least he's stuck with someone down to earth like Abby... if anyone can get him through it, it's her :(

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* James wants to make it clear that being stuck in the past is not in his job description. He is, however, happy that it is Abby he is stranded with, rather than Connor ;) Thanks for reading.

Wonderful strong stable Abby here.

Terrific drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Abby's proving to be a rock for James.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Yay! for Abby and her belief :-)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked Abby.

I'm glad for the Cheering Up James Committee and the actions of its two members thus far!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee. *Abby and the wolf cub bow* They will get James through this. Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Beautiful scene. I love Abby's support and strength.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Abby's been through it all before and get home. She knows she can again.

He's got to believe!
Nice one.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I think James wants too.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

*sniffs* Listen to Abby, James!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*passes tissues* I'm not sure James will have the option not to listen to her ;)

I've probably said it before on another drabble but I'm so glad Abby is there to keep him going.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Um, possibly? I think (know) James is very glad Abby's there for him. It's just not in his job description. Thanks for reading.

I love Abby here! Awesome drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, she's writing herself here and being supportive of Lester's wobbles. Thanks for reading.

awwwwww. They'll find a way eventually, they just have to stick together!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. I'm almost sure they will get home.

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

Great drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Keep him going Abby!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Abby will. Thanks for reading.

[talliw.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad Abby is there with him. Otherwise James might just give up.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

So is James. He's not happy lost through an anomaly. Thanks for reading.
