Thanks to all my readers, Thanks to Chelsea1234 for helping me make these attempts at writing presentable.
Author note:
This is my take off on what transpired in the basement during the episode 'Borderland'. I felt that Gibbs was upset that Abby even had to ask how he felt about her. This is my fiction of the following days after the basement. As we have seen in this season in the episode 'Cracked', Abby can become very committed and she does have a temper and locking herself in her lab was a little fit. Italics are quotes from episode.
Ch1. Fairytales?
Abby had trudged over to Gibbs house, dreading the impending conversation that she knew she had to have. She was in a state of mental shock, everything she had thought to be certain was now shaky. Gibbs. Her Gibbs did not do this, but there was only one way to find out, and that was to confront the person of all this duress.
Making down the steps, she stopped halfway, waiting for Gibbs to acknowledge her presence. After an indelicate dance of back and forth banter, it came down to the nitty gritty. Abby had to ask the set of questions that had troubled her all day today.
"What do you want me to say, Abby?" Gibbs asked, exasperated at this game they were playing.
Abby pleadingly said, "I want you to tell me that I have been like a daughter to you…"
Gibbs face read like a book, after all he had done for her, how could she think anything less of him and his feelings towards her. He let her continue on, not really paying attention to the rest of her words until his ears heard something he thought he would never hear from his Abby... Doubt.
And that you are going to love me no matter what?" Abby asked with a pain in her voice and a tearing of her heart.
Gibbs was stunned speechless. He had never thought that his past would come back to haunt him so bad, and that it would destroy one of the best things in his life. He contemplated in his mind, all the joys his team or better yet, his family have given him over the past 8 years. He flashed back to helping Tony fight the plague, helping Tim stand up for himself when accused of shooting a officer, helping Ziva realize that she has a father in him and helping Abby feel secure after two attempts on her life. What Gibbs did not realize is that Abby had taken this silence as an acknowledgement that he did not agree with her.
Abby stood still, tears in her eyes. Sensing that Gibbs had to think about what she just asked made her realize that this whole family dynamic they had going on their team was just a fairytale. She should have known it was too good to be true. Turning fast, she ran up the steps and out the door. Ignoring the running steps after her and Gibbs yelling her name Abby jumped into her hearse, pealed out of Gibbs driveway and just drove.
