Background

Abbypositivetest

Positive pregnancy test

When Abigail was still Ben Weston's girlfriend, she was still very much in love with her ex Chad DiMera. She finally gave in to her lust and love for him and cheated on Ben, having a one-night stand with Chad at the DiMera garden. Weeks later, she found out that she was pregnant and took a paternity test to see who the father was. The only problem was that Ben's father Clyde Weston had forced a doctor into making the paternity test say that Ben was the father without Ben knowing. Abigail believed she was carrying Ben's child and so she did not want to pursue Chad anymore because of the well-being of her child.

Baby Thomas

On the day of Hope Brady and Aiden Jennings' wedding, Abigail found out that Ben was the Necktie Killer who had killed many people; Serena Mason, Paige Larson, and her cousin Will Horton. She tried to talk him down and get away but Ben knocked her out and kidnapped her to an abandoned cabin in Mammoth Falls and handcuffed her to a chair so she couldn't escape. Abigail tried to escape a few times but failed. A little while later, she started getting pains which she thought were cramps but they later turned out to be labor pains. As the pain got worse and closer together, she told Ben that she needed to go to a hospital but he refused and then went into town and found her a midwife named Wendy Taylor. Then the midwife helped her deliver her premature son on November 24, 2015. Then Ben named him, "Colin Weston". After the birth, Ben shot and killed Wendy.

DNA test proves Chad is Thomas' father

When Chad found out that something was wrong he asked Rafe Hernandez to help find her and after some arguing Rafe agreed. The police tracked Ben and Abigail's location and Chad went looking for them. He came just in time because Ben was about to shoot Abigail and take Thomas but Chad stopped him. When Chad tried to take the gun from Ben, Ben got the upper hand and knocked Chad out and then tied him to a bed. Afterwards, Ben tied Abigail to the bed and set it on fire for them to burn to death together and he left with Abigail's newborn. Later on, Chad got his hands free and got him and Abigail to safety. Ben went to a motel with "Colin" and left him there all alone to go get supplies. He went to the midwife's office looking for supplies. While there, J.J. Deveraux and Lani Price caught and arrested him. When Abigail and Chad returned to Salem, Abigail asked Ben where her son was and he didn't say anything but only that he was at some motel. A while later JJ and Chad found "Colin" and reunited him with his mother, who renamed him Thomas Jack Deveraux.

Thomas and his parents

On January 2016, many of the Johnson's and Horton's shared their belief that Thomas looks a lot like his grandfather, Jack Deveraux. In his parent's wedding day, Chad showed Abigail their son's birth certificate and he made sure that his last name would be Deveraux, for his family's name gave him nothing but trouble in his young life and he doesn't want Thomas to have to suffer like he did. Though in time, Thomas was given his father's family name after promising to make sure the name DiMera will be a name he could be proud of having.

A year later, in January 6, 2017, while they were out for lunch Thomas said his first words "Dada" to his parents.

On February 24, Abigail and Chad remark on how Thomas is looking more and more like them everyday. In late June, Thomas' parents got divorced and they both agreed to share custody. However, in less than two months, his parents got engaged once more and in September 7, Abigail moved back into the DiMera mansion to live with him. Thomas' parents finally got married at St. Luke's on October 4. On November 12, 2018, his mother Abigail gave birth to his little sister, Charlotte DiMera.

On July 26, 2019, Thomas' grandmother revealed Thomas is learning how to speak French.
