Here ya go! A start of a completely new beginning! Let me brief you on something first

Hutcherson: he's a guy I'm adding in who will be playing a big role in all of this (:

Kate POV

I felt the sun on my face and smiled, everything seemed right in the world once again, perfect, even. It had been three weeks since they've let me out of the hospital, and in those past three weeks, I had moved in with Gibbs, Jethro, help him with his boat, and spend endless hours with him both at work and at his house.

I lay there in his arms, my eyes shut loosely, and just let myself be wrapped up in the sensation of being in his arms.

I felt him stir beneath next to me and then his hold loosened, I turned to face him and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

"Good morning," I whispered sleepily.

He opened his eyes to reveal the same bright blue eyes I had fallen in love with a few months ago, those eyes brought a smile to my lips every day.

He chuckled softly, "Morning, Kate," he mumbled, then rolled over and looked at the clock. He sighed and released his hold.

"What time is it?" I asked, quickly swinging my legs over the side of the bed.

"About 0630, I'm going to go shower, get breakfast on and then we can go to work," he told me, in the middle of lifting off his night shirt.

I was content just to watch the muscles in his arms ripple as he tugged the material away and smiled when I saw his chest, the muscles packed tightly together as if held by stone.

I shook myself out of my daze and grabbed the suit I had set out the night before and walked towards the second bathroom.

I still couldn't believe it, I thought happily, we were going to be together soon. He had told me the night before that he wanted our wedding to fall on my birthday, which was only a few weeks away. He had said, "I want our wedding day to be all about you, I want it to be on your favorite day. I don't care what you do with the wedding, as long as I get to stand up there and say I do and kiss you senseless, I'm content."

His words still made me smile as I turned on the shower and stepped into the warm spray.

Gibbs POV

I threw my shirt aside and grabbed a polo and a pair of dress pants out of the closet, hiding a smile. I couldn't get used to waking up with her in bed, it still felt like a dream. I didn't want to wake up from this dream, I realized, I wanted it to last forever.

I wanted to marry her right now, I realized, and chuckled softly to myself.

Suddenly, the phone rang, flushing my dreams out of my head as promptly as they had came.

I sighed, picking it up, "Yeah, Gibbs."

I waited impatiently, and then heard a scream. I froze, I knew that voice, no matter how disguised it sounded, I knew that voice.

"Hutch? That you?" I growled into the phone, my heart suddenly felt like it was pounding out of my chest.

I heard another scream and then a crash, then footsteps pounding, the sound seemed to be getting closer.

"Dad! Help! They, I don't know what they want, but they're coming!"

Then, the line went dead.

"Hutch? Dammit, Hutcherson," I growled, almost chucking my phone at the wall.

I sat on the bed, thoughts of preparing breakfast and taking a speedy shower quickly evaporated from my mind.

I put my head in my hands, "Dammit," I cried into them, so full of frustration.

They had my boy, whoever "they" were.

Kate POV

I stepped out of the shower, quickly blow dried my hair and slipped on the suit I had hanging on the rack. As soon as I stepped outside the door, I knew something was wrong.

The shower next to mine was dead silent, and the door to our room, left closed.

"Gibbs? You OK?" I knocked softly, not wanting to disturb him.

There was a pause, then the door opened.

"Yeah, Kate, I'm fine. You go ahead to work, I have to take care of some things first, alright?" He leaned down to kiss me but I slowly pushed him away.

I looked up into his eyes, they looked haunted, and full of worry and concern. But just as quickly as the emotions were there, they were gone, wiped clean.

"Jethro, what's going on?" I asked softly, he had told me everything before, so what was stopping him from saying what was on his mind now?

He shook his head, and once again, tried to kiss me, this time, I let him. His lips crushed against mine and he pulled me flush against him and his arms came to rest at my hips. I let myself sink into his kiss and let my arms wrap around his neck.

Our tongues begin a duel that was still unfamiliar to us, but was just oh so sweet.

Suddenly, he pulled away.

"You should get to work. Tell the director that I'll be away for a few days, weeks at the most," he whispered, his face still oh so close to mine.

I froze; weeks?

"But," I began, "Our weddings' in a 'few weeks,'" I mumbled softly, suddenly feeling like an idiot.

He nodded, "I know, I'll be back before you know it, alright Katie?" He pressed one last kiss to my lips and lead me down the stairs and towards the door, handing me the keys to my car.

I nodded, "Call me when you get to or start what ever it is you're starting."

He nodded, a small smirk on his lips.

"And you better explain what the hell is going on in the phone call, Gibbs, or you're not going to be getting married in a few weeks," I told him sternly.

He nodded, "Yes ma'am," he gave me a smile and kissed my lips again as I walked down his porch. I heard the door close and felt my heart grow heavier.

Gibbs POV

I leaned against the door, my eyes closed and my breathing heavy. I couldn't keep up this façade any longer, I thought silently, I had to tell her, but I couldn't bring her into this.

I dialed Hutcherson's number again and waited, but all I got was the dial tone, over and over again.

I sighed, I couldn't just wait here. I ran up the stairs and dug out my suitcase and piled clothes blindly into the carry-on, stuffing in anything that I might need. I cleared out the bathroom of my things and grabbed the picture of Katie and I from just last weekend at Sandy Hook beach in New Jersey.

He hair was blowing beautifully in the wind, and her bikini clad figure looked like it had been sun kissed. I smiled at the picture and gently put it into the bottom of my carry on.

I zipped the whole thing up and went online, quickly buying a one way ticket to Los Angeles, California.

I sighed, I couldn't just leave her hanging, I had to tell her.

"Soon," I promised myself, "soon."

Kate POV

I threw the car into park as soon as I arrived at NCIS, and just sat dully in the front seat. I couldn't get the haunted expression of his eyes out of my head, it seemed to be etched into my brain, those blue eyes, full of shock and fear; two emotions you seldom, if ever, saw on his face.

I pulled out my phone and tried his cell, but it just went to message. I tried again, and again, and again, but every single time, it just played back to message.

"Dammit, Gibbs, what the hell is going on?" I whispered, and hung up.

I had a bad feeling about this.
