River nodded and subconsciously held her closer, "Okay."

"Stay?" Her eyes pleaded with him. Tara probably wouldn't be coming home tonight, and what if Erik came back?

River was going to melt at her eyes. He nodded, "I can stay."

Abby smiled without spreading it to her eyes. She was tired. "Thank you." Her voice was strained.

"It's no problem," River responded. He looked to the couch, "Do You need to sit down?"

"Yes," Abby eased onto the couch. So much had happened within the last 24 hours. "What if he comes back?" she asked fearfully.

River sat next to her and kept an arm around her, "He won't. I'll just kick him out again."

Abby put her head on his shoulder. "I'll help," she murmured.

River nodded as he leaned against her slightly, "You can help all you want."

"Yay…" Abby closed her eyes and the next second she was sleeping soundly.

River laughed as he yawned. His head leaned against hers and he fell asleep.

Abby woke up with River beside her. She didn't move, but her eyes surveyed the room, bringing the memories from last night back.

River was quietly snoring. He wasn't awake quite yet.

Abby giggled and shifted. "Hey, sleepy."

River woke up, "I'm not sleepy. I'm River."

"And I'm Abby. Pleased to meet you." She nuzzled the side of his neck with her nose sleepily.

River smiled. His raspy morning voice in full effect, "It's wonderful to meet you too Abby."

"Mmmm…" She didn't move.

River chuckled, "Are we going to do the thing where we sit here all morning because neither of us want to get up?"

"Mmmhmmm…"

"Fine by me," he began humming a song.

"What song are you singing?" Abby asked, snuggling closer to him.

River smirked as he responded, "Guess."
