Spoilers: Judgment Day
A/N: Set right after Jenny's funeral and the team finds out they are being reassigned.
Abby was laying in his arms, her head resting on his bare chest. For the last 20 minutes, neither had spoke. She wouldn't mind laying there all day with him, but she had something else she had to do. Sitting up, she grabbed the top blanket and wrapped it around her naked body. She climbed out of bed and started searching for her clothes, which were all over the bedroom floor.
"I'm sorry," she told him, "but I have to go."
"Yeah," he said quietly, still staring at the ceiling.
"I just…There's something I have to do."
"Figured it was something like that."
Abby stopped gathering her things and looked at him. "What does that mean?" She sat on the edge of the bed next to him. "Gibbs, will you just talk to me? You've barely said a word since-".
"Yeah," he said cutting her off. "I know."
"I want to stay. Really. But… but I have to go see Tony."
Gibbs finally broke contact with the ceiling and looked her in the eye. "DiNozzo?"
"I'm worried about him."
He pushed himself into a sitting position. "Why?"
"He went home right after you left this afternoon. He wouldn't go out for a drink with us. Said he had to get his belongings together. Plus, he still feels guilty over Jenny."
"That's not his fault." Gibbs saw something in her eyes. "There's something else. What is it?"
"He's alone now, Gibbs." He raised an eyebrow at her. "He knew that he wouldn't be going through this alone. That he had help and support if he needed it. But now that he's reassigned? He just lost everyone he cares about in one afternoon." He wiped away a small tear that Abby hadn't realized escaped down her cheek.
"I'm going with you."
"I'm glad you said that."
