This is post-ep of "Enemy on the hill"

Gabby all the way of course!

„Abbs…. you're still the same person…parents….they're still your parents as you remember them…" Gibbs was talking with a low voice and Abby was simply nodding "…. family…is more than just…DNA…" Gibbs was trying to find the right words"…it's about….people caring, take care of each other." he was looking at her, knowing exactly that they were family, perhaps even more than they'd both admit

"I know…"she let out a breath "….but why didn't they tell me I was adopted?" Abby was cuddling into Gibbs arms, she felt safe there, like always. "I mean it's got to be a reason, I need to find out before I completely turn Luca's and Kyle's life upside down." Gibbs was stroking Abby's arm, trying to calm her.

"You don't have to do this alone Abby…. you've got a family…and we'll help you through it." Gibbs was having a pensive look in his eyes, kissing the top of Abby's hair and then he started to smile, recognizing that she is and was the most important person in his life, the one person with which he even could imagine to start a family again. He felt the need to tell her, although he didn't find the moment appropriate. She only needed his comfort now, he had to be her saving anchor like always. Suddenly Abby started to move out of his embrace.

"I better get going …I'm not destroying your evening any longer…" She was already on her feet.

"Abbs, please, stay." Gibbs said, his voice full of emotion, which made Abby stop immediately, turning around slowly. His eyes were dark blue, full of emotions, full of love.

"Abbs, why did you come to me, after speaking with your brother?" he was asking her, hoping not to push the wrong button.

"Well…because…hm…we…you…I…we always….because I always come to my knight in shining armour…well…Gibbs, it's just…you make me feel save and alive and you give me comfort" Abby now looked at her feet "…and love." She added in a whisper, not daring to look into his eyes, a slow crimson was starting to burn in her cheeks. She didn't know what he'd think about her confession, or if he'd even seen it as a confession, or if he thought about the love as good friends.

Gibbs stood up and walked over to her, putting his finger under her chin, slowly moving her head up, so that she had to look into his eyes. Abby couldn't quite read anything in his eyes, they were so contradictory, on the one hand she saw love, but also sadness. Maybe she'd destroyed their special friendship in this very moment.

"Abbs…I need to tell you something…but it's not that easy for me…" Gibbs stopped. Abby's heart was racing, this had to be worse than she'd imagined. Tears were starting to burn in her eyes, she couldn't lose him, she couldn't have him walk away.

"Gibbs…don't…don't tell me…." She couldn't speak any further, sobs were chocking her, and she started to cry into his shirt, Gibbs was stroking her back and her hair, holding her close. He hated to see Abby in such an emotional chaos. When she started to calm, Gibbs started to speak.

"Abbs, look at me, please… it's nothing bad….at least I suppose!" Abby looked into his eyes, not quite sure what she'd think about it.

"Abbs, we know each other now since over ten years, we've always been good friends, having our special bond. And now…oh god, I can't do it anymore…" before Abby even could understand anything she felt his lips on hers, Gibbs was kissing her and when she started to kiss him back, it started to be the most passionate and erotic kiss she ever had in her life. Gibbs didn't know what had hit him, but he couldn't find the right words, he always screwed up his relationships because of his communication skills, so he decided to just kiss her. After they ended the kiss, Abby was the first to speak again.

"Wow, Gibbs…what was that for?" Abby was smiling radiantly

"I just couldn't hold it back any longer, Abbs."

"Gibbs you should have done it years ago, you have no idea how long I was waiting for it."

"How long, Abbs?" He demanded in his Gibbs usual authority

"Since…day one." She mumbled silently, but Gibbs had heard it.

"And you never said a word Abbs?" Abbys face was starting to burn "Well I always thought….I mean….In my opinion it was…quite obvious…all the flirting we did…but you…you always brought your new wives….so I thought…I mean, how could I know….you were interested….Thought maybe, I just wasn't your type…" Gibbs silenced her with another kiss on her lips, to make her listen to him.

"Abbs, at the beginning, I was just fascinated by you…but the more I got to know you, the harder I fell for you and… since Ari shot at you, I couldn't stop thinking about what I'd done if I'd lost you….Abby I can't live anymore without you in my life." And with that Abby started to cry once again. Her whole life was a rollercoaster right now. She'd found out that she had a brother, that she was adopted and that Gibbs had told her that he loves her. Gibbs quickly carried her upstairs to his bed and laid her down.

"Abbs, you need to sleep now, it had been a long and exhausting day for you…we'll talk tomorrow about the rest, alright?" Abby knew that Gibbs was right, she felt drained.

"Gibbs?" Abby was asking him "Would you stay here and just hold me tonight, I'd like to feel save."

"No problem Abbs." And with that he lay down next to her and Abby put her head on his shoulder and it felt so right, so comforting, so perfect, just like they belonged to each other right from the beginning.

"Night, Gibbs."

"Night, Abbs."
