"Hey Abs why ya here"Asked Gibbs as Abby was walking down into his basement.

"I needed to tell you something that has been bothering me for a really long time."Abby said sitting on the bench across from Gibbs."Okay."replied Gibbs."Well I don't know how to word this correctly so I am just going to say it."Abby said as she took a moment to settle down."I like Ducky."Abby shyly said as she was shocked for a second but did not let it just had to ask because he knew she liked Ducky as a friend but he wasn't sure anymore."As a friend."Gibbs hoped that she said yes."No as a lover"Abby was so embarrassed that she should have never even brought it she just looks up to find his deep blue eyes looking back at she usually saw was hurt and determination but this time it was different she saw forgiveness as if he knew what she was talking about."He doesn't know does he."Gibbs questioned."No."Abby's reply was blunt."Are you sure."Gibbs wanted to have Abby find the right he was always had a feeling that it would be her and McGee."Yes I am sure and I don't even know if he has feeling for me and if he did he probably deny it because he thinks I deserve better but really if you look at all the other boyfriends I had he is better."Abby said fighting the urge to just give up and be lonely the rest of her life."What about McGee?"Gibbs asked since McGee was one of her boyfriends."He was not the best and I would rather not say why except that he did not hurt me."Abby said the extra part because she knew he would ask."Okay. So what are you gonna do about it?"He asked."I honestly don't should I do?"She said."Tell him how you feel."Gibbs said knowing what would be asked next."But what about rule twelve?"Abby asked."I made that rule after Paris but I can make an exception for you two since only one of you really go on the field."Gibbs said going over to Abby to comfort her."Really you would do that for me."Abby asked burying her head in to his shoulder."Yeah Abs I would."Gibbs said as he continued to hold her."Thank you."Abby told."No problem it's late I'll set up the spare room for tonight."Gibbs said as he walked the very tired Abby sits down on the couch while he goes to get the room by the time Gibbs was back to tell her the room was done she was already past out on the he grabs the pillow and blanket he usually uses when he sleeps on the gently puts the pillow under her head and drapes the blanket over knew tomorrow was going to be very different after work.
