'everyone, masks on and get as far away from them as possible' yelled Adam He picked me up and ran towards the gates, putting as much distance between us and the gas. 'I forgot my mask' I whispered 'What, here put mine on' he said while struggling to get his mask on me. 'No...stop...hmmm' I complained, but he was too strong and the mask was on in a matter of seconds. 'I'll be fine' he said, I'm not sure who he was trying to reassure, me or him. Lucy was sitting by the gate with James, trying to comfort him. I could see the pain in his eyes from where I sat. He had a wife and young child waiting for him back at base, eagerly anticipating his return. It was not himself he was concerned about, but about what would happen to his family if he did not return. Lucy whispered something in his ear, he turned and looked in the direction of Adam and I, and pointed to her stomach. She nodded. 'Abby...' Adam started, he looked at my lips. Thinking this may be the last chance I get to show him how I really feel. I pushed off my mask and kissed him. It started off as a light, gentle kiss, but soon developed into something deeper. We stood up while still kissing, he picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist, my back pressed to the wall. At that moment I didn't care that we were in a possibly fatal situation, all I could think about was how good his lips felt against mine and how our bodies molded into one an others perfectly, nothing could get in the way of what I was feeling, until I heard. 'I think you better put her down,' james said gruffly,'wouldn't want to get another girl pregnant, would you'
