A/N: So this is the first in a series of firsts in Gibbs and Sammy's relationship. It should be in order starting with their first date but for some reason this story jumped at me to by typed first so here we are. This is the first time Sammy is sick once they start dating and Gibbs working some magic to make her feel better. Enjoy the fluff!

oOoOoOo

Vapor Rub Does Wonders

oOoOoOo

Sammy coughed into her elbow before blowing her nose miserably and going back to her email. She could feel Tony staring at her but didn't have it in her to glare at him so she ignored it. She took a sip of her coffee before falling into another coughing fit.

"You sound rough," Tony spoke up. "Should you even be here?"

"I'll be fine," Sammy mumbled once she caught her breath.

"You don't sound fine," Gibbs said as he came around the corner. "Go home."

"I'll be fine," Sammy insisted again. "I can work."

Gibbs shot her a look and raised an eyebrow at her and Sammy rustled up as much energy as she could to shoot him a challenging look right back.

"Fine but if we get a case you're on desk duty," Gibbs caved.

"Deal," Sammy agreed.

Kairi slid in behind Gibbs and settled into her desk before shooting Sammy a questioning concern look. Sammy gave her a thumbs up and settled back into pulling up her report to start working.

oOoOoOo

The day panned out to be rather quiet and at some point Gibbs slipped away for coffee. When he walked back into the bullpen he set a cup on Sammy's desk.

"It's tea. Drink it," Gibbs said simply answering Sammy's questioning look.

"Thanks," Sammy hummed congestedly before carefully bringing the cup to her lips and taking a sip.

The rest of the day was spent completing outstanding reports and as dinner time rolled around Gibbs sent everyone home.

Once everyone else cleared out Gibbs moved to Sammy's desk and placed a hand on her forehead.

"You have a fever," Gibbs said simply.

"I'm not surprised," Sammy said leaning into Gibbs' hand.

"You wanna come home with me?" Gibbs asked softly. "I'll make you some soup and we'll see if we can find something to help with your congestion."

"Ok," Sammy said with a small nod and a cough.

Gibbs moved his hand and gave her shoulder a rub before moving to collect his things. Sammy pushed herself up and grabbed her bag before they headed for the elevator. Sammy rested her head on Gibbs' shoulder as they headed down to the garage. They slid into Gibbs' truck and Sammy rested her head on the window. Gibbs gave her knee a rub before starting the truck and heading for home.

oOoOoOo

A couple hours later Gibbs lay on the couch with Sammy lying on his chest. They had settled on the couch after some soup and setting Sammy up with some vapor rub for her chest.

"You feeling any better?" Gibbs asked softly as he ran a hand up and down her back.

"A bit," Sammy mumbled. "You're good at this."

"I try," Gibbs said with a quiet chuckle.

Sammy shivered a little as she yawned followed by a cough.

"Do you want a sweater?" Gibbs asked preparing to get up if she did.

"No I think I just want to go to bed," Sammy mumbled tiredly.

"Alright," Gibbs said softly. "Bed it is."

"Kay," Sammy yawned before sliding to the side so she could stand up.

Gibbs got up and they headed upstairs; Gibbs scooping up the vapor rub on the way. As they walked into the bedroom Gibbs sat Sammy on the bed before retrieving a pair of socks from his drawer.

"Scoot back a bit," Gibbs instructed as he knelt at the foot of the bed.

"What are you doing?" Sammy asked curiously as she slid back on the bed.

"Vapor rub on your feet. It'll help with your cough," Gibbs said as eh unscrewed the vapor rub and scooped a dollop out.

Sammy gave him a funny look but before she could question him Gibbs started rubbing the vapor rub into her foot and she had to pull her foot away when he hit a ticklish spot.

"Are your feet ticklish?" Gibbs asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah," Sammy mumbled not making eye contact with him.

"I'll try to make it quick then," Gibbs said as he motioned for her foot back.

Sammy reluctantly moved her foot back into his reach and he made quick work of rubbing the vapor rub in while Sammy's toes curled when he hit a ticklish spot. When he was finished he slid the socked onto her feet and rolled down the band to make them stay on.

"There you go," Gibbs said patting her knee before standing up and moving to hit the lights.

Sammy crawled under the covers with a yawn and Gibbs settled into bed behind her before pulling her close.

"You need anything before you fall asleep?" Gibbs asked softly as he felt her forehead.

"Nope," Sammy mumbled sleepily as she settled back into him.

"Alright," Gibbs hummed as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "Get some sleep."

"Mkay," Sammy murmured, already starting to dose.

After some repositioning and a couple minutes of Gibbs rubbing large lazy circles into her back Sammy was settled into his side with her head on his chest as she snoring congestedly. Once he was sure she was out for the night Gibbs dosed off himself.

oOoOoOo
