A/N: The time this happened is right after Kate's death, but, shortly before Kill Ari if not during.
What happened to Tony.
As I pace around my home I know I should keep calm, but, I can't help it. Something happened to my Kate and it is all my fault. I should have protected her. It is my job to keep her safe. Yeah like it was my job to make sure the last person I watched over to be well taken care of. But then again that one was a pretty bad person. He did kill a man for no real reason and that makes you a bad person.
My Kate was a good person though. She knew what I liked and what I disliked. Whenever we ate together I would watch as she enjoyed that vegetable food she always ate. What I wouldn't give to let her know that I secretly liked it as well, but, I wouldn't give up my precious strips of bacon for the world. That is unless that goddess of a woman would walk through that door right now and hear her say, "Hi, Tony," before wrapping me in her loving arms quelling this horrible feeling in my stomach. I already know what I would do when I see her too. Inhale that scent that is unique to my Kate before giving her a kiss on her cheek.
As much as it pains me to admit it I didn't particularly like her in the beginning, but, now I love Kate. She is the first person to make me feel loved and I gave her my love in return. She was a little strict though at times and all the men I hear her talk about or see her with got under my skin a little. All that aside though I still can't help feeling something for my Kate and she knows it. I just wish there was something I could to let her know it now. Wait there is someone outside messing with my door and I go to it. The door look starts to turn as I give a shout knowing that is my Kate on the other side.
"Relax, Tony, it's just me." I hear the slightly somber tone of Abby. Oh yeah I forgot she had a key to my home along with Kate. But this is the first time I remember her using it. The door opens and I watch as her enter with Gibbs close behind her. Now this is certainly strange. Gibbs never comes over.
"Hey, Tony, how you feeling?" She ask trying to sound cheerful, but, failing miserably. All I can do is hang my head down in shame. My Kate is gone. Abby wouldn't walk in without her unless that was true.
"Gibbs?"
"Abby, those two were close. Don't ask me how though. That will be something I'll never understand."
"So your saying she had a special bond with Kate." Sure talk about me like I'm not standing right in front of ya.
"Yes, Abs, I am." Abby then walks over to me and picks me up off the ground holding me in a surprisingly gentle yet firm hug.
"Come on, Tony, lets go and pick up your stuff. From now on you are going to be my permanent roommate."
"Abby do you really think you're capable of doing that?"
"Of course I am."
"Fine but don't come crying to me when you get kicked out of your apartment for having a dog."
"I won't get evicted, Gibbs. Besides I'm sure Tony will be a good girl." Abby says before scratching behind my ears. Looks like it's my job to protect Abby now. Kate I hope you can forgive me for not being there for you, but, I promise I won't let anything happen to Abby. Even if I have to rip that guy you call DiNozzo apart to do it.
A/N2: Ok everyone raise their hands and tell me how many actually forgot that in season two episode 15 Caught on Tape Kate became the proud owner of a dog and named it Tony? Also how many of you actually thought that this was DiNozzo instead of that dog.
