A/N: So not sure if it was the premiere or just thinking back to when Gibbs used to limp a little in episodes but I decided to write this. Just another Sammy not letting Gibbs push himself farther than necessary. So yeah enjoy!

Knee Issues
oOoOoOo
Sammy sat at her desk waiting for Gibbs to come up from his morning trip to Abby's lad and for everyone else to file in.
When Gibbs did wonder into the bullpen and up to his desk Sammy watched him and sighed when she saw the way he was walking.
"Your knee is bothering you isn't it?" Sammy asked, knowing he was probably going to brush it off.
"Yeah but it's fine," Gibbs said as he sat down.
Sammy left it alone knowing she wasn't going to get any more than that until they got home.
oOoOoOo
The day went on as usual and Sammy kept an eye on him just incase. By the time they got home she could tell it was worse. Gibbs was trying to hide it but Sammy could see the limp.
"How bad is your knee?" Sammy asked as they sat down on the couch.
"Just a bit sore," Gibbs said as he started rubbing his knee.
"Do you want the rice bag or the Bengay?" Sammy asked, not giving him a choice other than to deal with it.
"Uh heat," Gibbs said giving in as he leaned back on the couch more.
"Kay, sit tight," Sammy said leaning down to plant a kiss on his lips before heading to track down the heat pack and put it in the microwave.
When she came back Gibbs had propped his leg up on the coffee table and his eyes were closed.
"Here Honey," Sammy said softly as she gently rested the towel wrapped head back on his knee.
"Thanks," Gibbs hummed, adjusting the heat pack without opening his eyes.
"No problem," Sammy said, settling into his side as she turned the TV on.
They sat quietly, the only noise the TV playing in the background, as they partially dosed until the heat pack started to cool off. Gibbs moved the heat pack onto the coffee table and stretched his knee a little.
"Honey, We should head to bed," Gibbs said softly.
"M'Kay," Sammy said sleepily as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
They headed up the stairs and changed before Sammy headed to the bathroom. When she walked back into the bedroom she could smell the Bengay before she saw it. She was glad Gibbs had made the decision by himself without her having to convince him. She crawled into bed and waited for Gibbs to finish rubbing the Bengay into his knee. When he was finished he put the tube back on the nightstand before turning the lights off and crawling in beside Sammy. He stretched out and Sammy curled into his side and threw an arm over his stomach.
"Is your knee feeling any better?" Sammy asked sleepily.
"Yeah," Gibbs said, planting a kiss on her head.
"Good," Sammy hummed, leaning up to place a sleepy kiss on his lips, "I love you."
"Love you too," Gibbs said, kissing her back.
"Night night," Sammy mumbled as she settled into his side again.
"Good night," Gibbs said, pulling her a little closer.
They both drifted off at the same time, falling into a peaceful solid sleep.
oOoOoOo
The End
