Sliding Into Home ~ D N A: Diane Nicole Adler

Pairing: MLB!Frank Adler x Abigail Hernandez (OFC)

Synopsis:

After a trade from Boston to Los Angeles, first baseman Frank Adler would seem to have it all. Money, women, an amazing niece, yes Frank should have it all. Except for one thing. One thing that left after a mistake five years ago. Los Angeles should be the chance to start over. Except she is supposed to be in Boston. Not his new medical director.

* A Frank Adler AU x Major League Baseball Story**

Warning: ANGST (i can't stress this enough), second chances, cheating, S~M~U~T!!, slow burn, drug use, abandonment issues, betrayal, domestic violence (i may have missed some), flashbacks

Dividers by me

Previous: WTF Just Happened!

Sliding Into Home Master List Main Masterlist

Frank paces in the hallway as the doctors do a check up on Abby.

Diane.

The name has haunted him since the last time he saw her. Eight years. It had been eight years since he had seen his little sister. This is not how he wanted this to go.

“Mr. Adler?”

Frank whipped around and looked at Cricket’s doctor. “Is she ok?”

“She’s doing well. Her injuries are healing but we would like to keep her for a few more days to make sure there is no additional swelling to the brain and that there is no internal bleeding from the blows to the torso. Her scans are clear, so this is just a precaution.”

“Of course.” Frank swallowed. “She wants to bring our niece in. Would that be ok?”

“As long as she takes it easy, I see no problem. But she needs to rest Mr. Adler.”

“She will. I’ll make sure after she speaks to the detectives. Thank you.” Frank offered a weak smile.

“Have faith, Mr. Adler. She is past the worst.” The doctor patted his shoulder and walked away. Frank took a breath before entering Abby’s room.

She was sitting up better now and smiled when she saw Frank. “Hi baby.”

“Hi Cricket.” He leaned and kissed her forehead. “How are you feeling?”

“Sore and tired. Confused,” she frowned. “I don’t remember getting here.”

“One of the neighbors heard you screaming and called it in. I didn’t find out until the morning because they couldn’t get a hold of management.” Frank smoothed her hair. “I should have gone with you. I knew something might happened. I should have protected you.” His face broke a little. Abby reached up to cup his face.

“This is not your fault, Frankie. Please don’t blame yourself.” Abby sighed and massaged her temple.

“Are you hurting?”

“A little,” she admitted.

“C’mon, lay back.” He helped her back to lay down. He took a seat next to her, took her hand and kissed her knuckles. “Cricket, I’m so sorry.”

“This is not your fault Frankie. Please don’t apologize.” Abby sighed. “I know you are waiting to talk so I don’t have to repeat myself but what are you thinking?”

“Diane. Mike. I’m just... confused, angry, scared. I’m worried about you, Mary, our family, just everything Cricket.” Frank laid his head on her lap, and she ran her fingers through his hair. “What if I lost you? “

“You didn’t baby. I’m right here.” Abby kept his that way for a few moments before the door opened and a knock came through. “Dr. Hernandez?”

“Yes?”

“Hello, I’m Detective Stabler and my partner Detective Benson. We have taken over your case and have some questions for you. May we?”

“Of course. This is my husband, Frank Adler”. Frank shook the detectives hands before sitting down again and taking Abby’s hand.

“It's nice to meet you. I wish it was under better circumstances,” Detective Stabler said. “Dr. Hernandez...”

“Abby, please. Call me Abby.”

“Of course, Abby. Can you tell me what happened when you went home?”

“Well, I went from the stadium to my home that I was sharing with my ex, Michael Weiss. Umm,” she looked at Frank. He nodded and she took a breath. “I was leaving him because Frank and I had reunited and had gotten married a couple of weeks ago. I thought he was still back east so I felt safe to collect my things so I could take them to Frank’s.”

“He was in the home?”

“Yeah, I don’t know how. We own a ring camera, and it should have gone off when someone approached the door. But my phone never alerted me. I went in and was looking at the mail when he surprised me.” Frank’s grip tightened on Abby’s hand.

“Hello Beautiful.”

Abby jumped at his voice. “Mike! You’re back early.”

“I am. Funny how you weren’t home.”

“Yeah, I was at the stadium getting paperwork done from the road trip. How was work?” Abby tried to remain calm.

“Informative. Care to explain these?” He threw down photos in front of her.

Abby picked them up and saw photos from Vegas, from the benefit and from LAX. “Mike,” she whispered.

“You’re mine, Abigal, he growled. MINE!” He backed her up into a corner, crowding her. “And if I can’t have you, then no one will.”

“When he said that, I picked up the metal baseball bat we keep by the front door. I told him to stay away from me. I think he remembered all the batting lessons Frank had taught us over the years and stepped back.”

“Did he say anything else?”

“Only that I was going to regret this, and it wasn’t over. But he left, through the garage door and I leaned against the wall. I was about to call Frank when I was hit from behind. I fell but turned over.” Her voice shook. “I saw who hit me and before I could say anything else, she kicked me in the ribs. I couldn’t breathe and I just tried to protect myself as best I could.”

A tear ran down her cheek, but Abby didn’t stop. “She kept yelling at me that it was my fault that she lost her family, that I ruined everything. That Frank would never forgive her, so it was better that I just be removed so he knew the same pain as she did.” Abby swallowed. “She said it would have been better if Mike had stayed with them instead of being obsessed with me just like her brother. That’s why she gave away Mary. To hurt Mike but it didn’t.”

“Diane,” Frank breathed, “she did this?”

Abby nodded. “She said that she didn’t want Mary, but she didn’t want us to have her either.” Abby leaned into Frank. He climbed into the bed as gently as he could to hold her.

“Is this Diane, your sister Mr. Adler?” Detective Benson asked.

“Frank and yes. She abandoned Mary with us eight years ago and we are her legal guardians. When Abby and I separated, I didn’t change the paperwork. I couldn’t.” He kissed Abby’s head as she continued to cry softly. “Diane was or is a drug addict. She wasn’t given visitation rights because of it. But this information about Mike staying with her is new. I never knew that they were in a relationship or had one, I guess.”

“Do you think he knows?” Stabler asked.

“I don’t know but I would assume yes,” Abby sniffled. “Mike is a manipulative man. He had, umm... fuck I’m sorry Frankie. He had hit me a couple of times before, grabbed me and left marks.” Abby buried her head into Frank’s chest.

“Abby, I’m sorry but is there anything else you can tell us? What Diane look like or what was she wearing?”

“Her hair is still blonde, longer, like to her shoulders. She is still really skinny, but she was wearing a blue hoodie and jeans. The doctors think she was wearing steel toe shoes because of my injuries.”

“We have a copy of your medical records,” Benson said. “I’m really sorry that this is happening. We are looking for Mr. Weiss and Miss Adler. We’ll be in touch.” The detectives left and Frank and Abby stayed in each other’s arms for a while.

“Cricket, why didn’t you tell me?”

Abby sighed. “Tell me what you would have done if I had told you?”

“I would have killed him,” he told her with a straight face.

“That’s why. Baby, you have a future hall of fame career and a child to care for.”

“I could really care less about my career, but I’ll give you the Mary thing.” Frank held her a little tighter. “God, Cricket, I don’t understand why Diane did this and how she got into the house. And why Mike was ok with all of this?”

“I’ve been thinking the same questions, Frank.” Abby shook her head. “None of it makes sense. Except the obsession thing. I see that now. After what you told me what happened in Las Vegas, I’m almost certain Mike was the one who slipped you the mickey.”

“The mickey? Really Abigail with the street terms.” Frank gave her a look before he smiled. “I’m so proud.”

“Shut it.” She sighed and leaned back into him. “What do we do?”

“We’ll talk to management and see what they recommend. I’ll ask Todd, Andy and Steve to meet us here since you won’t be released in time for that meeting. We’ll have to announce the marriage Cricket.”

Abby wrinkles her nose. “Are the groupies going to cry? Sexy baseball player Frank Adler off the market.” She made a dramatic sigh as Frank rolled his eyes.

“Yes, just like all the single guys on the team will be drooling over my wife now. Hoo-ray.” The sarcasm dripped from Frank. Abby smiled softly. “Seriously Cricket, I couldn’t give a fuck about the jersey chasers. I got the woman of my dreams.”

“Oh Frankie, that’s so sweet.” Abby leaned up and kissed his cheek. “Now, when do I get to see my girl?”

“Scott is bringing her by in an hour. Doctor said you could shower as long as someone is in the room.” Frank smirked. “I could help you.”

“Frankie, if I thought my ribs could take it, I would take you up on that offer.”

Frank laughed. “I know baby. C’mon, an easy shower it is.”

An hour later, a knock on the door. Abby grasped Frank hand tightly. “It’ll be ok Cricket.” She nodded before Frank called out. “Come in.”

Scott opened the door slowly and walked in with Mary in Johnny’s arms. “Hi Mary,” Abby said softly. Mary took a long look at Abby before burying her head in Johnny’s shoulder and began sobbing. Frank stood up and took his little girl in his arms. “It’s ok Nugget. She’s gonna be ok.”

Mary’s tear stained face looked back at Abby. “Who hurt you?”

“Let’s not talk about that right now Nugget.” Abby’s eyes were holding back the tears. Mary wiggled out of Frank’s arms and climbed into bed with Abby. She laid on her shoulder and wrapped her little arm around Abby. Abby bent her head and kissed Mary’s head. “I’m gonna be ok, Nugget.”

“You promise?” Mary’s small voice breaks everyone’s hearts.

“I promise. I just need to rest for a couple of weeks, and we’ll get right back at it, ok?” Mary snuggled further into her as Abby turned back to the guys. “Hi.”

“Hey Doc,” Johnny says with a smile. “Quite a scare you gave us. This one,” thumbing at Frank, “was a hot mess.”

“I was not,” Frank grumbled. “I was worried about my wife.”

“Yeah, let’s come back to that,” Johnny says with a twinkle in his eye. “When did that happen?”

“A couple of weeks ago at a hotel,” Mary offers, before anyone can say anything. “I was Abby’s maid of honor. She was so pretty that day.”

Frank dropped his head as Scott snickered and Abby blushed. “Really? And you didn’t think to invite me?” Johnny feigned his indignation. “I’m supposed to be your best friend, Adler.”

“I’m his best friend, Storm,” Scott said with a shove. “You’re my backup.” Johnny snorted.

“Guys, knock it off,” Frank said. “You’re both my best friends, ok? And Johnny, you were playing that day. It really was a day between when I asked Abby and when we did it. Frankly,” he rubbed the back of his neck, “I’m surprised no one had spilled before now.”

“Why are you keeping it a secret?” Scott asked. “I thought you of all people, would be shouting it from the rooftops. I mean, the way you were moping over the good doctor and how you never had...”

“We really don’t have to talk about that,” Frank interrupts, looking at his wife with a sheepish grin. “Look, Cricket, I concentrated on raising Nugget and baseball, ok. I was not...”

“Pining like a fool after a girl,” Johnny offered.

Abby giggled a little, then groaned. “Ouch,” she moaned, holding her ribs.

“Baby, take it easy.” Frank went back to his seat next to her. “I can call security and kick them out if you want.” He kissed her hand.

“This is our family, Frankie, and it makes me happy they are here.” She cupped his cheek. “I’m ok.” A knock at the door. “Come in,” she called out.

In came Todd Phelps, Frank’s agent Steve and his lawyer Andy. “Oh, hi guys,” Frank stood up to shake their hands.

“Dr. Hernandez, it's nice to see you again.” Andy offers his hand to Abby. “I’m sorry it had to be under these circumstances.”

“Andy, it's nice to see you again. Steve, Todd, what’s going on?”

Todd cleared his throat. “Well, ownership asked me to come check on you after the police had called the organization for your emergency contact. And, well, with the conversation we had before you left that day, I wanted to get a head of any story that may come out.”

“Frank called me for the same reason,” Steve offered. “Wanna tell us what’s the situation?”

“Mary, why don’t we find a drink and snack while they talk,” Scott offered. Mary carefully climbed off the bed, hugged Steve and Andy before looking up at Todd. “Is Frank in trouble?”

“No, darlin’, not at all.”

“Ok, good, because he promised me that he would make it to the All Star game so I could visit my friends in Boston,” she replied, a matter of factly. “Plus, I want to see Abuelo and Abuela. Hey Scott, can we look online to see if we can get them something?”

Frank looked dizzy at all the words coming from Mary’s mouth as she and Scott walked out of the room. He looked back at his wife, who shrugged, before returning his attention to the rest of the group. “Is it ok if Johnny stays?”

“Up to you,” Andy replies. “First things first, Abby, I have filed a restraining order of your behalf against Mike. The police report should be more than enough but as soon as you can, I need your medical report as well.”

“And what about Diane?”

“Diane?” Steve looked at them confused. “What about her?”

Frank looked at Abby who nodded. “We are not sure about their connection, but we think Mike and Diane are working together. Diane was the one who attacked Abby. She said something that we need to figure out.”

“Like what?” Andy asked, taking notes.

“The possibility that Mary could be his daughter.” Everyone freezes. “Andy, I need to know what our rights will be if he comes after us for custody.”

Honestly I wonder almost everyday why Taylor didn’t go to India and China (she has one of the biggest market there), and even South Africa honestly because… I mean she’s The Beatles f this generation and she’s touring the globe so why don’t include countries where 1) there’s a huge market and 2) you can bring your music and spectacle for the first time. And if I were a kiwi I would be so pissed off she didn’t come to New Zealand because… she always came before The Eras Tour and now… she doesn’t?! Make it make sense.

i can't say about other places you mentioned but i feel like she tried to bring it to india or atleast considered it initially because of the big market, but i was thinking that while there is a huge fanbase here, fans can't actually make it happen if the government (or idk rich people of the country lmao) where she wants to perform don't want it to happen. like my brother used to work closely with stadiums and i was talking to him about this last year when she announced international dates and he said that her shows will require modifying the cricket stadiums a lot and even tho we have stadiums of that capacity, i don't think they would've done that because concerts are still not that much of a thing here, let alone eras tour level. also i feel like logistics and all didn't work out, idk but i do feel like she considered it initially. the economy boost would've been insane + she would have to do atleast 6 shows because the population is too much lol but well. ALSOOOO. i think releasing the concert film in so many countries (i did not expect it i fully thought it would be a US thing) was also a way to see how her fanbase has increased in other places (where she's not touring) so maybe they can try and bring the next tour there (hopefully)

#about new zealand... maybe they tried but dates didn't work out or something? or maybe they thought australia shows were enough 😭#idk we just have to believe #same way they thought japan and singapore shows covered most of other asian countries she couldn't tour #which i mean did happen bc i've seen so many people travel to tokyo or singapore even london from india for her shows #a part of me is happy she didn't come to india because she would get the ed sheeran treatment from bwood and i can't see that lmao
