"Give me a good reason to take you back" Timothy McGee stated in a raised voice as he looked across his living to the woman he loved, but at the same time couldn't trust to not break his heart again.
"Listen Tim; everything I've ever done to you… that was the past, I've changed and I would prove it to you if you would just give me a chance, but instead you're pushing me away. Why… why are you pushing me away? You want this, I know you do, but instead you push me away" Abby Scuito answered, her voice just as raised as McGee's.
"Why do you think? You broke my heart years ago; I don't want to have to go through that again… I don't think I could go through that again Abby. I loved you and you rejected me" McGee replied, his voice now barely a whisper, not bothering to hide the hurt.
"'loved'? Are you saying that you don't still love me Tim?" A bewildered and slightly hurt Abby asked. It had seemed like he still had feeling for her, especially recently, and since that hug right after Mike Franks died a couple of years ago Abby had been wondering if maybe, just maybe, her and McGee were really meant to be.
"You know I still love you, but you will never love me back, so what is the point in even trying?"
"That… that isn't true Tim; I do love you, I just hope that you can forgive me."
"Why do I need to forgive you?"
"Because… it's taken me almost eleven years to realize that I didn't need to look any harder, that what I wanted and needed was right in front of me."
"Abby…" Tim scolded her gently, making sure she knew he was never mad at her for that.
"Timmy, can I have a hug?" Abby asked while looking at McGee like a sad child would look at their parent when they just wanted someone to love.
"Abby, you never have to ask if you can give me a hug; your hugs are always welcomed" McGee stated, his arms opened wide for Abby.
"Timmy, I love you, and not like I love puppies, even though I love them a lot, I mean, you know how much I love puppies, bu-" Abby started rambling.
"Abby, you're rambling again" McGee stopped her.
"Oh… right… sorry. I… I love you Tim, I really do."
"I know Abby… I know, and I love you too" McGee replied, wrapping his arms around Abby and letting his chin rest on the top of her head 'this is the beginning of a good relationship' McGee thought silently to himself.
Wow... This just seems way OOC, but I couldn't resist posting it. Please review and tell me what you think, even if you're saying that you hate it, it would mean a lot to know that you took a few extra seconds to tell me what you thought.
This is not one of my favorite stories that I've written, but I thought I would see what my fellow McAbby shippers think.
