CHAPTER ONE

Abby Scuito stared long and hard into the eyes of the love of her life through the mirror hanging on the wall. Yes, there had been others that she loved but she was madly in love with Leroy Jethro Gibbs. His grey hair, his blue eyes. He was so passionate about his job, he had a great personality but even better a great sense of humour. He rolled over and caught her gaze. This sent him into another 'lovey dovey' moment and kissed Abby with serenity.

Gibbs' alarm sang out from his phone and even though Abby had checked the time 35 minutes before it had gone like it was only 2. Abby pulled herself out from bed and the comfort of another body next to her cold bare skin and put on her favourite red checked skirt and her favourite black top with a skull and a pink bow. She coloured her lips with a soft black although the colour wore off only seconds later to Gibbs kissing her with passion. She pushed him away softly knowing that if she allows a quick kiss they may never make it to work. She pulled her shoes onto her feet and started for the door. As she turned the handle on the door, Gibbs placed his hand on her waist, turned her around and kissed her lips like there was no tomorrow. She kissed back but quickly rushed out the door to get to work.

'Don't you guys think Abby is acting a little weird today?' DiNozzo asked Ziva and McGee

'Actually now that you mention I think she is, she must've had a good night' McGee added

'Doing what?' Ziva asked

'She said she was going bowling' Tony replied with a smirk 'But I think we all know what she was doing' Tony added slyly

'Who went bowling DiNozzo?' Gibbs said walking in the squad room

'Abby did boss, Uh, um last night she went bowling' McGee quickly added before Tony had a chance to say something stupid

Gibbs smiled ever so slightly but not enough that anyone could see him.

2 WEEKS LATER

Abby ran into the squad room, Bert in one hand and the pregnancy stick in the other. Everybody gathered and McGee asked if she was having another breakdown but when Abby started crying everybody stopped smirking and dropped everything thing and stared.

'It's pink! PINK. I am pregnant. What am I going to do' Abby cried

Gibbs walked into the room and when he saw what made everyone stop and stare, he dropped his coffee and ran to Abby. He and Abby both knew they couldn't keep their love secret any longer. But before the truth was revealed Gibbs was pulling Abby towards the elevator.

'I….didn't know this would…..happen…Gibbs'

'Abby, I don't know how you got pregnant but you need to keep the baby.'

'Gibbs...You know I am against abortion…So I will keep the baby.'

Gibbs sighed. "Abby I know you are against it and I am proud of you for keeping it but you know our love cannot be secret any longer, I mean everyone noticed how I dropped my coffee and ran to you."

"Gibbs, I will tell everyone that it is someone else's and that you thought something bad had happened and that is why you ran."

"Abbz I never drop my coffee, not for anything…"

Gibbs looked to the ground and then stared at Abby

"Well except for you of course "and gave her a peck on the cheek

Abby blushed and turned away, she could feel tears welling in her eyes and she had to walk away from Gibbs to keep herself from crying.

As she was sitting near the stairs she could hear Ziva, Tony and McGee talking about her and Gibbs

"Why do you think Gibbs ran to her like that? I mean yea he worries about her but he never drops his coffee even if someone dies. And why do you think he would pull her away?" Tony asked

Abby knew that eavesdropping was wrong and that barging into a conversation that you had eavesdropped on was worse but she was afraid of anyone's answer.

"Guys I have to tell you something," Abby said as she walked up to the team who were gathered in a circle " About why Gibbs ran to me, last week my boyfriend and I broke up, I broke it off because of…well some difficulties we were having and when I told him it was over he turned around and punched me and when I told Gibbs he wanted me to go to the doctors and the results haven't come back and ever since then he has been really protective of me" As soon as Abby said what she did she knew it wasn't what she should've said, she knew she shouldn't have told anyone that she was punched up but she has and now she all she felt was guilt and sadness.

"Oh my gosh, Abby are you ok? So the results haven't returned yet?" McGee was the first to reply but Abby had already guessed this would happen

"No, I haven't got the results yet" a tear rolled down Abby's' cheek "You know what, I just remembered that I didn't finish that case I was working on, I have to go guys, talk later ok?"

When Abby got to the comfort of her lab she typed into her search engine 'How to tell what gender your baby is' 163904900 results popped up but before she had a chance to click on the first result her mobile rang and her ringtone filled the room. Gibbs' name flashed on the screen and a smile instantly appeared on Abby's face.

"Hey babe, how are you?" Gibbs' voice said through the phone

His voice sounds so sweet and gentle Abby thought

"Hey, I am...uh Good how about you? Why are you calling me?" Abby said in a puzzled tone

" Good thanks, well I am down the street at the café and I was wondering if you could come down because I want to talk to you but you know… without the other guys hanging around the corner"

"Sure, see you in 10 minutes" Abby replied and hung up her phone, before she left her lab she quickly ran back to her to her laptop and exited the internet explorer, then confident walked down the street to meet Gibbs.
