A/N the plot bunnies attack again! I was listening to the song this is based on: Brother, by Little Birdy, and it reminded me of this episode. Just remember the italics are the lyrics. Enjoy :]

"132 days. Triple digits. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this."
Abby's sighed as she looked at her wall. It was full of post card from tony. All from the USS Seahawk. Abby looked up at her CD player when it started playing her current favourite song, Brother by little birdie. It fitted her mood perfectly.
My brother, he taught me how to fly
In a way, tony was like her brother. He had indeed taught her how to fly. But not like a bird, just how to be free. Even though Abby had been dressing like she does way before she met tony, she had been more conservative, even around Gibbs. Tony had taught her to not care what people think, and that is more important to care about what you think.
My papa, he taught me how to cry
Gibbs had been a mess ever since the team had left. Even when McGee and Ziva came back, Gibbs was still upset. Even though he didn't show it. And he defiantly didn't cry, so Abby cried for him.
Wait for me, Wait for me to show you. Wait for me, Wait for me to show you. My Mama she touched me down my soul. And I feel it. I feel it most. So show me your soul and I'll show you mine. So show me you soul and I'll show you mine.
Abby sang as she swirled in her desk chair. She stopped and looked at her computer screen. A picture of team Gibbs. They all looked so happy. It won't be the same for a long time, even if tony comes back. It was hard before they all left. With Jenny's death and all. Abby felt helpless. She didn't even get to tell jenny how much she liked her clothes. And then Vance made it all worse by splitting up the whole team on a stupid hunch. And they hadn't even caught the traitor. All this heart aches for nothing. Jenny would not be happy. Abby sigh once more, this time looking at the door, waiting for Gibbs. She had just matched the killer to the murder weapon. Now she just had to wait.
So who's gunna love you now baby, so who's gunna love you now baby? When your gunna fight in that war at sea. Get on that ship and sail back to me. So who's gunna love you now baby, so who's gunna love you now baby? When your gunna fight in that war at sea. Get on that ship and sail back to me. So who's gunna love you now baby, so who's gunna love you now baby? When your gunna fight in that war at sea. Get on that ship and sail back to me
Abby felt like screaming this at the top of her voice. But of course no one would hear her, or even listen. Vance didn't care that he split up the team. The best team out there. The elevator ding and Abby turned around to look at Gibbs, and smiled. She ran up and hugged tony "don't leave me again."
Get on that ship and sail back to me
