Default Scared Like A Cat

OK,some of you might know that I have 3 yorkies,1 male 2 female.Baby who is 6mths and my first yorkie is very skittish.When we first brang him home he was withdrawn and kept to himself.I thought it was just his new surrounding.Well as the months flew. I have given as much love and time as possible,even more so than my other 2.At night when all my kids are sleeping and I have a few hours to myself,I would put him on my lap and brush him and talk to him and let him sleep on my lap till I go to bed.This is almost every night.
He wasn't hard to train,totally peepee pad trained,stays on the sofa most of the time and watches tv with us.He has never licked my face or jumps when he see's me.He gets scared of everything,anything moves and he would bark and goes crazy.
My question is"why is he still scared of us after all this time?"He does great with the other yorkies it's just with us.Do you think he was abused when he was little.I can't even fathom someone hitting my baby.
I named him Baby cause he's my little Baby.
Is there anything I can do to make him feel safe?

Thanks for the Help
