Three Days Later

Ducky, DR. Mallard who usually gives Jethro a verbal briefing of all his autopsy's reports the mortuary, in a move out of character even for him made his way up to the bullpen from to Gibbs in person telling him "let's go to an unused conference room for privacy!" As Jethro follows Ducky as they enter the first unused conference room they find! Ducky tells him "have a seat Jethro!" As soon as Ducky is sure they are alone he tells him "I have my final autopsy report Jethro!"

Jethro tells Ducky "Spit it out?"

Ducky asks "was Kate dating anyone? "

"Yea Duck, Jethro tells him, "Her and me.., I was going to ask her to marry me!"

Ducky looks at the fool saying "Then I am sorry to have to tell you this, but at the time of her death she was eight weeks pregnant!"

Turning to leave Jethro tells him "Thanks Duck!" as the Gibbs the normally stoic NCIS Agent sheds a tear as he walks out to the NCIS Bullpen to sit at his seat

Tony watches him as he passes but his desk. Walking over to Ziva's desk he asks her "Am I dreaming or is Gibbs crying?"

Ziva tells him "No Tony you are not dreaming he is crying!"

Getting up from his desk Jethro heads to the elevator as the doors close he hits the "Stop Button" as he falls backward his back hitting the back wall of the elevator he slides down the wall in a heap. His head falls into his hands as he starts sobbing uncontrollably

DR. Mallard tells the younger agents "I am afraid I had to give him some bad news!"

Tony asks "What was that?"

DR. Mallard tells him "It seems Tony, as if he and Kate were dating!"

"Kate was going to have his child!"

Ziva states to the group "Not an easy thing to hear!"

Tony asks her "How do you know that Ziva?"

Cupping his check in a lover's embrace Ziva tells tony "Someday I will answer that question for you , but not today Tony!"
