In the door way stood a beautiful women, her light brown curly hair done up only two strands framed her face, she looked a picture of elegance. The beige dress she wore came off her shoulder and went down to the floor; she looked stunning.
"Its time to go" said the English man beside her, she nodded and started to walk down the isle, every one turned to look at her she smiled as she passed family and friends. Reaching the alter she turned to watch her best friend come down the isle in a similar dress to hers. Finally the bridal waltz started and in the door way stood the bride in an elegant white gown, The took the hand of the english man she had talked to before and they started down the isle.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs turned and looked down the isle as he saw her walking towards him; he thought this day would never come. He knew this time this would last. His Agents had shown him that, among all else love is what got them through, love for their friends, and the one special person who they wanted to spend their down time with. The woman smiling at him walking down the isle in the white dress was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his days with.
He looked over at his agent's both he looked at as sons the shorter one, was winking at someone across from him, Gibbs rolled his eyes and turned back to the woman that was nearing him. She smiled as she walked up the stairs joining him in front of the priest.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join these two souls as one" he rolled is eyes no one could really have one soul. Gibbs felt a tap on the back of his head he looked over at the woman next to him; she smirked at him and looked back at the priest. He heard several sniggers of laughter as he looked back at the priest. Taking a quick glance at the two men to his right were smirking at what had just happened, when they noticed him looking the stopped.
"If there is anyone who objects to this union speak now or forever hold your peace"
The four people who made up the bridal party looked out of the church, no one dared mess with them, three being trained agents trained by the groom himself. The other although not an agent no one dared mess with her either. No one objected and the ceremony continued.
"I now pronouns you husband and wife you may kiss the bride" every one cheered and clapped as they new wed couple did just that.
"You look beautiful Kate" Kate spun around to find Tony standing behind her; she smiled faintly while blushing slightly.
"You're just saying that cos I'm one of the two single women in the room"
"Really or I am saying it because it's true, you Caitlin Todd do look stunningly beautiful" Kate looked up at him cynically.
"Don't play with me Tony I'm not a doll"
"Who said I was playing"
"Just walk away Tony before you like many before you rip my paper heart"
"What if I don't want to walk away, what if I want to bring your heart to life?" Kate walked over to him folding her arms her eyes narrowing.
"You want to take me on, Tony I'm damaged beyond repair, I have that much emotional baggage it could out way a hump back whale."
"I have baggage to Kate hell with my family I could give you a run for your money. I'm just as damaged as you"
"Like hell you are you come from a well off family Tony you never had to move around as a kid I was a Navy brat up until I was in College. There is no way you could beat me" she watch as he took off his jacket and untucked his shirt, he turned on his side and lifted up his shirt showing a scar starting at the bottom of his rib cage down to his hip.
"My father did that to my when I came home and told him I wanted to be a cop" Kate didn't blink she had worse scars he knew that.
"I was 9 years old Kate" She flinched a bit ok that wasn't the type of thing you did to a nine year old.
"My dad was put in jail when I was 13 for soliciting sex with a minor; he and his girlfriend sexually assaulted me and my sister for three years, with out my mother knowing. He got 7 years in jail when he got out he cut me off from my inheritance because I was willing to testify at his trial. He killed my sister when I was 20, he's now serving life in prison, and yet I still didn't get one cent of what my grandfather left me because my father beat up my mother so much when I wa a kid all of it went on her gambling problem, that 3.5 million dollars Kate. So don't tell me I don't have issues"
"Fine I take it back you could possibly beat me but what would you want with me? I've heard you thousands of times telling your frat buddies how stuck up, uptight and frigid I am, why the hell would you want me?"
"Because you have a heart of gold not paper and you look out for your friends even when they are being immature bastards and don't deserve it. A life with out you is no life at all you are my light in a very cruel world Kate. I crave to see you smile or to hear you laugh I'd do anything for them and I would do anything for you" Before he knew what was happening her lips were on his, he smiled wrapping his arms around her. She came back from the kiss looking up into his eyes.
"Did you mean it?"
"Every word"
"I'm bored" Tim huffed he'd been sitting on the floor for the last hour. Abby had lured him down here under the pretence of making out now they were sitting here doing nothing.
"Shhh" Abby glared at him.
"What?"
"I'm trying to listen so shut up"
"Listen to what?" Abby turned and glared at him, he knew that look if he didn't stop asking questions soon he'd be in big trouble.
"If you must know Tony and Kate, they're arguing about something and I want to know what" Tim rolled his eyes and looked over at his girlfriend.
"Ever heard of a private conversation Ab's"
"Ever heard of if you don't shut up I'll kill you" Tim rolled his eyes and left her to what she was doing he got up and walked away.
"Finally" she turned back to see her friends had disappeared. Abby huffed and got up walking over to where her boyfriend was sitting.
"If you weren't so dam cute I'd kill you" Tim nodded and continued to watch Tony and Kate dancing.
"Are you listening to me Tim, I said I was going to kill you" he turned to her for a minute not actually looking at her.
"What was that?" He quickly made eye contact with her. Abby fed up walked away not paying attention to her two best friends who happened to be dancing slowly in the middle of the dance floor, apart from the other couples at the wedding every one was watching them every one but Abby.
"Did you see them dancing? Oh it was so sweet…she's so lucky" Abby looked up at the two women who had just walked into the rest room.
"Oh and he's so cute too, I wonder how long that's been going on?"
"Not long from what I heard, he said she was his light in this cruel world"
"Aw now how come men won't say that kinda stuff to me?" the two women walked out of the cubicle's and over to the sinks.
"I know I have trouble finding guys who want more then a one night stand and she has a guy who would do anything for her." The two women sighed drying their hands and started to leave.
"But seriously who would have thought something that sweet could come out of Anthony DiNozzo's mouth" This caught Abby's attention. She was about to ask what they were talking about when they walked out the door.
There wasn't any one here who would fall for Tony's lines they all knew him to well, but the way those two were going on it seemed he had been genuine. Curiosity got the better of her and she walked out running straight into Kate who was walking in.
"Hey Kate, I didn't know Tony brought a date?" Abby followed her friend back in and lent against the bansin as her friend walked into a cubical.
"He didn't" her friend replied.
"Well he's sweet talking some one from the two in here before sounded like he was pretty serious" Kate smiled to her self. Then flushed and walked out.
"Do you know who he was dancing with before?" Kate looked up should she tell her or not.
"Yeah" she was gonna regret this she knew it.
"Who then?"
"Me" Abby looked at her friend this had to be a joke he wouldn't say anything like to Kate well not to her face.
"You?" Abby raised an eyebrow this had to be a joke it had to be right?
"Yep"
"If he was dancing with you then who was the woman that he said she was his light in the darkness then?"
"You know about that? That was a private conversation Abby if I wanted you to know I would have told you" Kate walked out glaring at her friend.
Abby stood dumfounded. Kate was that person? How had she missed that? She walked out to find Tim looking for her.
"Hey where you been? Gibbs and Jen are about to leave" Abby just shrugged and followed him. He walked over to Tony and Kate. Abby hung back knowing her friend would glare at her and more then likely start yelling. And she didn't want that for Gibbs, so she found some where else to stand.
As the crowd dissipated when Gibbs and Jen left, Tim found her again. "Hey where do you keep going to?"
"Can we just leave?"
"Sure just let me grab my coat"
"Hey why the long face?" Tony lifted Kate chin with his forefinger.
"Abby she had to eavesdrop on our conversation earlier, she couldn't leave it alone" Tony smiled.
"It wasn't Abby it was Ducky he was sitting near us, and heard the whole thing. Abby heard it in the toilet when the accounting gossips walked in, I'm guessing she over heard them. Ducky has just a big a mouth as Abby at times Katie pie"
"Don't say that now I feel bad"
"She'll get over it I think she was more scared of you then anything else. McGeek had to go looking for her after Gibbs left; he said she was right behind him when he first walked over." Kate rolled her eyes and rested her head on his chest. Now she felt even worse.
"I think I have a way for you to not feel so bad and for Abby to have something you'll let her gossip about."
"Like?"
"You'll see" Tony turned to leave his arm still around Kate's shoulder, and he grabbed his jacket and her bag.
"Now see aren't you glad you got a lift with me tonight?" she smiled and rolled her eyes as they headed out. Waiting at the valet were Tim and Abby, Abby looked back to see Kate and Tony walk out.
"Great now she's gonna yell at me"
"Huh?" Tim turned around to see Kate and Tony walk up behind them. He looked over at Abby and sighed, he knew she felt bad and he wanted to be able to do something for her but what?
"So Katie seeing we've got tomorrow off cos it's Sunday, I was thinking you come over to my place we watch some DVD's. You could sleep over if you want maybe stay for breakfast. What ya say?"
"I like that idea" Tony smiled at her then pulled her into a kiss. Abby turned around to say something when she saw her friends kissing she smiled and let it go.
"What is it Ab's?" Kate asked pulling out of the kiss Tony whimpered in protest.
"I just wanted to say I'm happy for you. You above any one deserve to be happy Kate"
"Thanks Ab's and sorry at going at you before"
"It's ok private moment are ment to be that private but, I guess with NCIS nothing is private."
"since when has anything at NCIS been private?" Kate laughed Abby rolled her eyes nodded as she got into the car.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do"
"That doesn't leave much" Kate teased Abby poked her tongue at her friend as Tim drove off.
"your such a tease" Tony kissed her head pulling her closer as a cool wind blew over them.
"There isn't much Abby wouldn't do so I was just stating the truth"
"This is true" Tony laughed.
