The Pregnancy Chronicles

oOoOoOo

Gibbs lay in bed; Sammy curled up beside him, her head on his chest and her growing belly pressed to his side. It seemed like yesterday that Sammy was telling him she was pregnant. It happened to be while she was sitting in front of the toilet between bouts of morning sickness about 2 months earlier. He was delighted but also a little worried. It had been a long time since he's had a child to raise and he was worried he might be too damaged form what happened so many years ago. Somewhere at the back of his mind there was a voice telling him that he's be just fine and that he should stop worrying but that voice was often drown out by all of the worries and other thoughts. With a sigh Gibbs looked over at the alarm clock sitting on the nightstand beside him, it's green numbers glowing in the dark of the room, it was 3am, Sammy would probably wake up in the next couple hours and he still hadn't gone to sleep. He pulled Sammy closer and shifted a bit to get comfortable before closing his eyes and attempting to sleep.

oOoOoOo

It was too soon when Gibbs was woken up by the alarm going off signalling it was 6 am and the shifting of the bed as Sammy got up. H rolled over and hit the button to make the noise from the alarm stop and was about to roll over and close his eyes for a few more minutes when he heard Sammy getting sick in the washroom. He pulled himself out of bed and headed for the washroom, sitting behind Sammy on the floor and pulling her hair out of the way while rubbing her back.

When she was sure her stomach was done rebelling Sammy leaned back into Gibbs, who pulled her close.

"Maybe you should stay home today," Gibbs said softly, "You could get some rest and be back tomorrow."

"I'm fine," Sammy sad as she sat up, "My head doesn't hurt that bad and I think my tummy will be better once I eat."

"You're sure?" Gibbs asked, eying Sammy's still pale face.

"Yes," Sammy said as she moved away from Gibbs and pulled herself up with the counter, "See, all good."

"Alright," Gibbs said, getting to his feet.

He took Sammy's hand and headed down the stairs.

"Any requests for breakfast?" Gibbs asked as they walked into the kitchen.

"I think maybe just some toast and milk," Sammy said as she sat down at the kitchen table.

"One piece or two?" Gibbs asked, retrieving the bread from the bread keeper and moving over to the toaster.

"Two, please," Sammy said enjoying the view of Gibbs' bum she was getting, "And can you put peanut butter on them?"

"Of course," Gibbs said flashing Sammy a smile.

When the toast popped up Gibbs spread peanut butter on both slices and cut them in half diagonally. He set the plate down in from of Sammy and placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.

"You still want a glass of milk to go with that?" Gibbs asked as she headed back to the toaster to put down a couple pieced for himself.

"Just half a glass please," Sammy said, once she and finished chewing and had swallowed her bite of toast.

"You're sure you only want half?" Gibbs asked, heading for the fridge, glass in hand.

"Mhm," Sammy said, nodding when Gibbs looked her way.

Gibbs poured Sammy's half glass of milk and set it beside her plate.

"I forgot the baby doesn't really like milk in the morning does she?" Gibbs said, moving around to finish up getting his breakfast before sitting beside Sammy at the table.

"It really depends," Sammy said as she finished off her piece of toast, "This early in the morning not so much. Give it a couple hours and it's not as bad."

"You don't have to finish it if it starts to bother your stomach," Gibbs said around a bite of toast.

"Mkay," Sammy mumbled as she worked on the last of her toast.

She slowly drank her milk and watched Gibbs eat. When her glass was empty she took her dishes to the sink then walked back to the tabled and rested her chin on Gibbs' shoulder.

"I'm gonna get dressed," Sammy said softly before planting a kiss on Gibbs' cheek.

"Alright," Gibbs said, turning to catch Sammy's lips in a soft kiss.

Sammy returned the kiss before moving away and smiling at Gibbs with a little wink. She headed up the stairs and into their bedroom. After looking through her clothes she decided on a loose t-shirt and a pair of capri sweats.

She had just finished pulling her pants on when Gibbs walked in. She sat on the bed so Gibbs could get to the dresser. She had been resisting the urge to rub the ache growing in her stomach, she didn't want to do anything to make Gibbs start to worry again, especially when she knew they were just growing pains, but she finally gave up. That's when Gibbs turned around.

"Are you alright?" Gibbs asked in concern as he sat on the bed beside Sammy.

"Yeah, I'm good," Sammy said, not stopping the rubbing she had started, "It's just growing pains, Baby's making room for herself."

"You're positive?" Gibbs asked in his usual over protective way.

"Yeah, I was reading up on it," Sammy said, trying to get him to relax, "You should read the book I bought, it's got some interesting stuff in it."

"Alright," Gibbs said, softly kissing Sammy before planting a kiss on her belly ad getting up to get dressed.

He pulled on a button down shirt and a pair of jeans before looking down at his watch.

"Are you ready to go?" Gibbs asked as he held a hand out to Sammy to help her up.

Sammy took the hand he offered and let him pull her to her feet.

"Yup," Sammy said with a smile, "Just have to grab my bag and stuff."

"Alright," Gibbs said, flashing Sammy a smile of him own as they headed downstairs.

Sammy grabbed her bottle of 5 Alive from the fridge and pulled her pack off the back of the chair she had left it on before meeting Gibbs at the door. She slid her flip flops on and tossed her high tops into her pack.

"I'm ready to go when you are," She said as she slid her NCIS Jacket on.

Gibbs slid him own jacket on then took Sammy's hand, "You're sure you have everything?"

"Yeah, I'm sure," Sammy said with a giggle, thinking how cute it was that Gibbs worried so much, "let's go."

Sammy practically drug Gibbs out of the house and to the car.

oOoOoOo

Half an hour later they stepped out of the elevator. After the car ride and the elevator ride Sammy was starting to feel a little nauseous. She sat down at her desk, closed her eyes and waited for it to pass.

"Are you ok, honey?" Gibbs asked when he saw the look on Sammy's face,

Sammy held up her index finger, signalling him to wait. When the nausea passed she turned her attention to Gibbs, who was not so patiently waiting.

"I'm ok," Sammy said quietly, "A little nauseous there but I'm fine now."

"You're sure?" Gibbs asked, probing.

"Yes," Sammy snapped getting annoyed, "Stop already, I'm fine."

Sammy knew she was being unreasonable and that Gibbs was only worried but her head hurt and she didn't want to listen to him badger her about whether or not she was ok even after she had told him she was.

Gibbs knew Sammy didn't like it when he kept asking if she was ok but he couldn't help it, he was worried about her and he didn't want her to be in pain. When she snapped at him he took it as his sign to stop asking and leave her be.

Sammy sighed and rubbed her forehead, her headache was getting worse. She pulled open the top drawer of her desk, where she usually kept her painkillers and found her bottle empty.

"Declan," Sammy asked as she tossed her empty Tylenol bottle in the trash can beside her desk, "Do you have any Tylenol? I'm all out and my head is starting to bother me."

"Yeah," Declan said, pulling a small bottle of Tylenol out of her bag and walking over to Sammy's desk, "Here you go Hun."

Sammy took the bottle Declan offered and shook 2 of the tablets out then handed it back. She swallowed each of them with a sip of juice from her water bottle then sighed.

"Thanks," Sammy said with a small smile.

"No problem," Declan said, gently smoothing Sammy's hair a couple times before sitting back at her desk.

Sammy set her head down on her arms on the desk and closed her eyes, waiting for the painkillers to kick in.

Gibbs watched Sammy out of the corner of his eye. When she didn't sit up after 5 minutes he walked around his deck and started gently massaging her neck and shoulders.

"I know you want to work today," Gibbs said softly, "but are you sure you feel up to it?"

"I want to," Sammy mumbled, "but I can't concentrate when my head feels the way it does."

"Do you want me to take you home?" Gibbs asked, keeping his voice low, as not to aggravate her headache further.

Sammy shook her head.

Gibbs sighed and was about to start trying to convince her when his phone rang. He moved to answer it and after a brief conversation with the person on the other line he hung up.

"Tony, Kairi, You're with me," Gibbs said as he grabbed his sig from the drawer, "Declan, can you watch her please."

Gibbs planted a kiss on Sammy's head, "I'll try to wrap this up quickly."

That said he headed to the elevator, Tony and Kairi on his heels.

oOoOoOo

It was almost 9:30pm by the time Gibbs and Sammy got home. The case turned out to be a couple kids messing around and not the threat it was thought to be. Gibbs had finished everything as fast as he could and taken Sammy out to dinner before they headed home.

When they walked in the door Sammy slipped her shoes off and headed straight up stairs to their room. She was exhausted and all she wanted now was to go to sleep. She walked into their bedroom and slid her bra and pants off then crawled into bed. By the time Gibbs got upstairs she was almost asleep. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently brushed Sammy's bangs away from her forehead.

"How's your head?" Gibbs asked softly.

"Better," Sammy said around a yawn, as she leaned into Gibbs' touch, "You're coming to bed right?"

"Of course," Gibbs said, leaning down to place a soft kiss on Sammy's forehead, "I'll change and be back in a minute."

"Ok," Sammy said as she shifted a bit and pulled her pillow down so she could rest her head on it and wrap her arms around it at the same time.

Gibbs made quick work of changing into boxers and an old t-shirt and brushing his teeth before heading back into the bedroom. Sammy heard him walk in and moved closer to the middle of the bed so Gibbs could lie beside her. Once Gibbs had settled on the bed Sammy scooted closer to him and threw an arm over his stomach as she placed her head on his chest. Gibbs waited until she stopped moving then started slow lazy circles on her back starting lower and working his way to her shoulders.

"Sweet dreams Honey," Gibbs said softly and kissed the top of Sammy's head, "Love you."

"Love you," Sammy mumbled sleepily as she snuggled into Gibbs' chest.

It didn't take long after that for the combination of exhaustion and Gibbs' rubbing to pull Sammy into a peaceful sleep. As her soft snores filled the room Gibbs let his mind wander. He wasn't so worried anymore. The more his mind wandered the sleepier he got and as he listened to Sammy's snores he let himself fall into a peaceful sleep.

oOoOoOo

The End.
