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.

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 :(

Wonderful strong stable Abby here.

Terrific drabble.

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

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

Thanks, although I doubt James would agree with you.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-10-31 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
*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.

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

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-10-31 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you liked Abby.

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

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-10-31 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Abby's been through it all before and get home. She knows she can again.

*sniffs* Listen to Abby, James!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-10-31 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* I think James wants too.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

*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.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-10-31 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-11-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
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!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-11-02 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it. I'm almost sure they will get home.

Great drabble.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Keep him going Abby!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-11-05 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure Abby will. Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] talliw.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just glad Abby is there with him. Otherwise James might just give up.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So is James. He's not happy lost through an anomaly. Thanks for reading.
