Authors Note: This is the fourth installment of the Things Change series, I'd advise you to read the first three stories before reading this one. Thanks for reading. I used part of the song "Some People" performed by LeAnn Rimes in the chapter.
Lucky?
This was it, the day Kate would turn in her notice that she would be leaving NCIS. Although she knew she was making the right choice part of her was reluctant to leave. After all had she never came to NCIS she would have never met Tony and they never would have gotten married and had their three children. So many memories came back to Kate of her first few years working at NCIS. She thought of the constant flirting between her and Tony those first two years, the friendship that developed between her and Abby, all of Ducky's boring stories. But mostly her thoughts and memories were of her and Tony.
Isn't it a gamble…
Laying your heart out on the floor…
Nothing short of a miracle…
When you find the one you're looking for…
It's another kind of trouble trying to hang on to who you are…
When all you want to do is lose yourself in someone else's arms…
Isn't it a wonder that we got this far…
Some people aren't lucky like us…
Some people just give up…
When the hard times fall…
And the thrill of it all is gone…
They leave it in a cloud of dust…
It's sad to think that some won't find it…
And others won't recognize even when it comes…
We're all at the mercy of the will of love…
Some people yeah…
Some people aren't lucky like us…
Kate couldn't hold it back anymore as the tears began to fall. Tony headed over to her desk but she met him half way. He pulled her close. "What's wrong?" Tony asked. "I can't; I can't do it. I can't leave. I don't want to." Kate said. "I don't want you to leave either." Tony whispered. "I don't know what to do." Kate said. "Do what you think is best for you." Tony said. "I'm staying." Kate said and with that she went over to her computer where she was typing her notice and hit the delete button. Kate really did want to stay home and take care of Aidan, Ethan, and McKenna but she felt like she still needed to be at NCIS, she felt that there was still a reason for her to be there. She knew that part of the reason was no one knew Tony better than her and she didn't want anyone else being his partner. She realized how lucky they were to have each other not just in life but at work as well.
To have someone you can laugh with …
Someone you can cry with…
And tell your secrets to…
To have someone who won't judge you…
Someone who just loves you…
No Matter what they stand beside you…
Some people aren't lucky like us….
