A/N: Ok, I don't really know where I am going with this…it was just an idea that popped into my head when I saw the second movie. Which is amazing I might add and if you haven't seen it yet be warned because there will be SPOILERS FOR BOOK OF SECRETS contained in this fanfic so please sit back, relax, and don't forget to review so I know what you think.

A/N: This first chapter is going to be a little bit different then the other ones, because it will we told in the past tense in Abigail's POV. The rest will be in present tense.

Chapter 1: I Should Have Known

I should have known why I was feeling so emotional and being irrational about everything, I really should have. All the signs were there, I was feeling nauseas, everything he said was either pissing me off or upsetting me. I was getting up at two in the morning to eat cheetos and apple juice then of course throwing it right back up again. There was another sign that I have absolutely no idea how I missed, how could I not notice that I had missed my period? I mean it wasn't like I was always regular but I was pretty darn close and we had been using birth control!

I guess I shouldn't be too pressed since Mr. I Can Figure Anything Out didn't even realize it. I mean, he must have noticed that I was getting sick all the time or, buying cheetos and apple juice every other day. What am I saying? Isn't that why I kicked him out, because he was so unobservant of me and my feelings? I don't even remember why I kicked him out, now I know that I was probably just having a hormonal mood swing.

I finally started putting the puzzle together in England right after we got the first piece of the inscribed plank from the desk and were being chased by Wilkinson and his men. The second we got back home, I bought a pregnancy test and took it. I don't know what I was expecting it to say, but I sure as hell was scared when I looked down at the results. Those two little lines were no cipher that needed cracking, the path they marked was clear as day and it was my future. At first I was just scared, but then the excitement started kicking in. I had always wanted to be a mother and now I was finally getting my chance. I knew that I should probably have told Ben right then and there that he was going to be a father but I wanted it to get confirmed by a doctor first.

Part of me knew that I shouldn't have gone on that last expedition to Mount Rushmore and stayed home but there was no way that I wasn't going to finish this thing no that it was started and plus being pregnant these days was nothing, I knew that there was pretty much nothing I couldn't do. I sure as hell did get scared though when we were on that balancing plank. What if I feel or what if he fell and I never got the chance to tell him about his baby. When Wilkinson held that knife to my throat I started to get really frightened again and was ready to shoot myself for coming on this last trip realizing just how much danger I did put this baby in. When Ben was ready to sacrifice himself to save all of us that just did it for me, when he called me over to him all I wanted to do was take him in my arms and tell him that he was going to be a father but I somehow I couldn't get the words to come out as he told me to get his parents out of there. His father and Riley were both screaming at Wilkinson and Ben and his mother was all out hysterical. I just kept my promise to Ben by doing everything in my power to get them out of there. I held onto my stomach with something that could only be described as protection as I held my breath and headed under the wall. When I got to the other side that was when I decided that there was no way that I was going to raise this baby all on my own and I started trying to work out a way to get Ben out but I couldn't. Then all of a sudden I heard a big crash from the other side of the stone wall door and I got extremely frightened. I had to know if he was ok and almost as if to answer my prayers he came floating out from under the door. I held onto him with everything I had not daring to let him go.

The first thing I did when we got out of there and got everything cleared up with Sadusky and the rest of the FBI was take another pregnancy test to make sure that I hadn't lost the baby. To my great relief I hadn't and that night as we were sitting outside of Mount Rushmore watching fireworks and Emily boss around the people who were getting the artifacts out of the cavern and Ben was standing there with me and we had agreed that he would move back in with me, I decided that I would tell him about the baby but I wanted to do it in a special way which was when I got the perfect idea. I hid the pregnancy test under one of the rocks and quickly drew a map of where to find it. I saw him pull the box out of from underneath the rock and when he opened it and pulled the test out and read it, the look on his face was priceless. He turned around and saw me watching him with tears in my eyes. He came up to me and asked,

"Abigail, is this…are you really…I'm going…" For the first time since I met him Benjamin Gates was literally speechless.

"Ben, I'm pregnant, we're going to have a baby!" I screamed and he wrapped his arms around me as I threw my arms around his neck and we found ourselves in a long passionate kiss. I turned around so that my back was pressing against him stomach and I leaned my head on his shoulder to finish watching the fireworks. As I did this I placed my hands protectively on my stomach and felt him place his hands on top of mine. I looked down and saw he still had the map I had drawn in his hand, a map that was titled,

The map to the greatest treasure of our lives.
