I still don't have a Beta reader so again I'm sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes.

Enjoy the chapter :)

I don't own anything. The characters and the original episode story belong to CBS.

2x22 – SWAK

"I saw that Gibbs. "

"Read. Or you feel it. "

"Not while you down there."

"What?! "

Abby was alone in her dark lab. She had shut down her babies hours ago and now she sat with Bert on the ground, leaned against Mr. Mass Spec. The others left long ago to visit Tony. Abby wanted to go too, but all she could think about was that Tony almost died.

"Abby?"

Surprised she looked up and saw Gibbs.

"Hey Gibbs. How is Tony?"

"He will be fine."

"Okay."

They went silent again. Gibbs waited a few minutes, until he had enough.

"What are you doing here, Abby?"

"I sit here."

"Abby."

"I wanted to be alone."

"Here?"

"I needed time… to… to think and I needed… a place where… where I feel safe." She answered, but Gibbs heard that she was near a break down.

He walked over to her and sat down beside her. Now he could see the few tears, which were rolling down her cheeks.

"Hey. Talk to me."

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to tell him everything, but then she shook her head and tried to smile.

"It's nothing. I just needed some time alone."

"Abby. You can't lie."

Sighing Gibbs put his arm around her and pulled her to his side. He felt how Abby tried to resist, but he was stronger. As soon as her head lay on his chest, her tears were falling down on his shirt.

"I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."

"I'm scared. " She cried.

"About what? Tony will survive. There is nothing you have to worry about."

"I'm scared to lose all of you. Your job is dangerous and I can't count how often someone had tried to kill you." Abby cried.

"Sh. Yes, our job is dangerous, but someone has to do it."

"I don't like the thought that you or Tony or Kate or McGee gets hurt. Even Ducky isn't safe, since Ari came in."

"Ari will not come in here again."

"Gibbs, I can't lose any of you. I don't know what I will do if…"

"Okay, stop. You mustn't think of that. We are all alive and we are here for you. That you should remember."

"You are here. The others are with Tony."

"Okay. What do you think of that? We go now and visit Tony."

"I don't think that I can do this now. I would rather stay here. Here I feel safe."

"Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Come on."

He stood up and offered her his hands. When Abby shook her head, he took her hands and pulled her up.

"I said stand up."

"But…"

Before she could protest, Gibbs pulled her to her desk to get her pocket.

"Gibbs! Are you even listening?"

He gave her the pocket and put Bert back on the cupboard. Abby sighed. She knew that she had lost this conversation. Slowly she made her way to the door, while she tried to wipe away her tears. Suddenly she felt how Gibbs gave her a hard smack on her butt.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"For your earlier comment when I was with McGee in autopsy."

"What comment? I didn't do anything that would…"

"I had wanted you to read the letter."

"And I did! So why did you…oh."

"Yes oh. I told you that you would feel it."

"No you said that I would feel it if I wouldn't read, but I did read it."

"Do you really want to discuss this?"

"No." She murmured.

"Good. Now let's go, before the nurses won't let us in."

"Do you think they will now? It's already late."

"Ducky and Kate are still there and I'm pretty sure that McGee will be too."

"Gibbs?"

"Yes?"

Quickly Abby gave him a short kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you."

Smiling he put his arm around her and pulled her against his chest. Softly he pressed his lips on her forehead.

"Anytime."

Please tell me what you liked and what you didn't.
