Gibbs stood in the doorway to Abby's lab, trying not to laugh. After he had let the elevator doors close on his agents he had walked back into Abby's lab. She was leaning into a webcam talking in a hushed voice that was still remarkably loud.

"McGee, oh my god, they did it, it worked, THEY'RE TOGETHER!" Now Gibbs noticed McGee's face on the computer screen. He looked surprised at Abby's words.

"You mean Gibbs didn't tear them apart? I thought he had rules!" McGee said into his webcam. It was early, too early to come back to work and he had to call DiNozzo to tell them not to come in to work today. If they weren't fighting anymore, that was great, but he would give them time to calm down a little or work with two lovestruck teenagers that wouldn't do anything but giggle all day. He hated it when people giggled like that.

"Rules were made to be broken, Elf Lord." he said calmly from his place in the doorway. He watched as McGee's face went from surprised to terrified. He had clearly been about to say more about Gibbs' rules, but now he thought better of it.

"Oh.....oh hey, boss!" he said, looking very flustered. Gibbs smiled. Sure, he loved his family, but he loved it more when they squirmed under his power.

"Abby," he turned to his forensic scientist, "go home. You don't have to come into work today, we've done enough." she looked shocked at his generosity. "You better leave quickly, before my 'giving mood' goes away." he told her. She jumped and scrambled to get her things, giving McGee a very hasty 'bye hun' before turning off all of her equipment.

"Bye, Gibbs!" she yelled over her shoulder as she ran to the elevator, a task he admired as he looked at her three-inch platforms. The elevator doors dinged opened, revealing a now romance free lift. She waved to him as the doors closed. He smiled back before turning to the stairs.

The door to Tony's apartment opened with a bang, hitting the wall behind it as it swung open to reveal its owner holding a very content looking Ziva in his arms. He stumbled forward, trying to concentrate on making it to the bedroom while she trailed kisses and other such pleasurable things down his neck and along his jaw. He groaned, trying to put one foot in front of the other.

"We're not gonna be able to get much farther if you keep doing that, sweet, so it's either you wait two seconds or wait all night." he chuckled as she immediately stopped her actions looking up at him with such tenderness that for a moment he forgot that she was a trained killer. She gave him a pleading look and he sighed before rushing them both to his bedroom, tripping over a couple of things on the way. As soon as he way inside he threw her onto his bed, where she bounced quite high . and closed the door. He took a couple of seconds to take in her appearance. Her hair was splayed out like a fan on his pillows, the way he'd always imagined it. Her legs were crossed, as if telling him that he would have to work for what was there and her arms were resting next to her head, which held a playful, loving, seductive smile.

No wonder I fell in live with her he thought as he made his way over to the bed. As he walked he removed his shirt slowly. He heard her soft groan and watched as she uncrossed her legs and looked at him with a new look on her face. Playful and frustrated. He chuckled, or would have, but the sound never left his mouth as she leaned up, grabbed his tie that he still wore and pulled him down on top of her.

She looked into his eyes, seeing everything he felt for her, and sighed as his body shifted above hers, getting more comfortable. He looked down at her, seeking something. I guess he found it she thought as their lips met with so much passion that she groaned with pleasure. She remembered his words before they got to the car.

"You're not mine yet, my love, but that can change." He's echoed the words from their conversation in the elevator and she couldn't wait for them to come true. Neither could he, it seemed as he hurriedly removed the rest of her clothes, which joined his on the floor.

Abby got out of her car and walked up the front steps. She got to the door, and knocked. She was nervous, even though she really had no reason to be. McGee answered the door, looking at her strangely.

"If Tony and Ziva can work, maybe we could....try again?" she asked him looking down at her feet. She felt a hand that she had loved the touch of for so long gently take hers in it. She looked up into his eyes. They were filled with so much emotion that she couldn't hold in the small gasp that escaped her lips. He gave her a shy smile and gently pulled her in the door.

Maybe this was a good idea after all. she thought as the door closed behind her just as their lips met in a way that made both wish that they could stay like that forever.

Gibbs sat at his desk, two picture frames sitting in front of his eyes. Shanon and a laughing Kelly looked at him with love and laughter. He couldn't remember why, but the day he took that picture they had all been unable to stop laughing. The picture that sat next to it was of Jenny, taken when her hair was still long. She looked at him with a twinkling set of mezmerising eyes. He looked between both pictures and felt his heart break for what seemed like the millionth time. He had loved them all, and they had all left. He felt empty.

I wish I could have changed it, made it better. I wish nothing had ever happened to any of you. He sighed and grabbed his things from his desk, along with two roses and a lighter. He had made a little grave in his backyard. A grave for all of them that was more of a time capsule, sitting next to the one his daughter and her best friend had made all those years ago. He had never opened it, but instead made one for Shanon and Jen to put with it. As the elevator doors closed in front of him, he looked back at his desk. Both pictures were still there, watching him as he left.

Tony sighed as he tried to catch his breath. 'Wow' seemed to be the only thought in his mind as the woman he loved more than life itself lay her head on his chest, an arm around him, and got comfortable in his arms.

"Wow." she sighed, quietly, echoeing his only thought. He smiled and suddenly the only thing in his mind was her. Her hair, her smile, her touch, her feel, her taste. He closed his eyes and every moment of the past few hours flashed before his eyes, bringing a smile to his lips. He opened his eyes again and tilted his head to look at her.

"Zee," he said and then let out a small chuckle as she lift her head, giving him a view of her swollen lips, tousled hair and hickey covered neck. "I think I love you more, if that's possible." She laughed softly and kissed his chin before leaning her head back down onti his chest. She was probably the only woman he's ever been with who he was confident wouldn't hit him for saying something like that. Most other woman would probably slap him across the face, saying that if he loved them because of the sex, then he would have to find someone else.

"I love you, too." she said softly and he sighed, loving the sound of those words coming from her lips, her rich voice filling his whole heart with love, the feeling that he needed to have to survive. He leaned his head slightly and kissed the top of her head, resting his lips there and inhaling he intoxicating aroma. He loved everything about her, even the way that she threatened to kill him when he got on her nerves, or the way she pointedly held up a paperclip, as if daring him to make her use it. He closed his eyes and sighed again. He couldn't help it, he was happy, ecstatic. She loved him as much as he loved her and he had wanted it to be that way for so long. He couldn't even remember the first time he realised he was in love with her, the first time he wanted to taste her on his lips. His life with her was a blur, a blur filled with so much emotion that he couldn't make sense of it all. All he knew was that he loved her now, and she loved him, and that was all he needed for the rest of his life.

A small, lit candle illuminated the face of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Pain, sadness and love creased his face as he watched the flame. A rose lay on each of the makeshift graves on the headstones that simply read 'Love, Hope and Comfort'. He hadn't gotten their names carved on the stones, he knew that he would alway remember their names. He wanted to always remember the way he had felt when they were with him, the way he couldn't bring himself to feel anymore. The only feeling that he had now that he had had then was the feeling of cherishment, safety with his NCIS team, his family. Ducky was like a father that he loved ti disobey, or a brother that he always shared his toys with. Tony, Ziva, McGee and Abby were like the kids he never had; always fighting or laughing or picking on each other, but they all loved each other, and he loved all of them. Not as much as Shanon, Jen and Kelly, but he still cared about them. He would never tell them that, but he did. He needed to have them there, to help him get through the day. He loved them.

Timothy McGee watched Abby as she slept in his warm embrace. She had showed up at his door, practically told him she still loved him and the next thing he knew, they were naked and he was happier than he'd been in a long time. He took in every feature of her, form her tattooed shoulders to her smiling lips and messy hair. He had decided as thier lips met that the pigtails would have to go. He needed to run his fingers through her hair. Now her hair was still curly from being in braids all day and messier than he had ever seen it. He loved her. He loved the way her soft curls tickled his skin, making him sigh. He loved then way her soft skin felt, the way her smooth fingers drew little designs on his skin when she was bored, the way her laugh made him want to make her laugh more. He loved her, more than anything, more than words could explain.

Ziva inhaled his scent, his intoxicating fragrance. She could hear his steady heartbeat under her ear and it calmed her, soothed her, washed over her like waves, matching the beat of her own heart. Her fingers drew light circles on his chest, which had caused the contented smile to capture his lips. His steady breathing mad her head lift and fall slowly with the movements of his chest. She knew he was asleep. She always new when he was really asleep or just pretending, like their many stakeouts where he had pretend to sleep, she never knew why, but she knew that when they were on a mission he never really slept until it was over. She smiled as she remembered their undercover job as a married couple of assassins. She had been pretending to sleep, fake snoring loudly, hoping to get on his nerves. It had worked. She didn't know why, but she loved it when she got on his nerves. He would give her that look that said 'you are so immature', the same look she gave him when he used to many movie references. She loved it. She loved being the only one to receive those little looks from him. He never gave them to McGee when he talked to much, or Abby when she went off topic. Just her, he only gave them to her, and she loved them. She loved everything about him. His endless movie references, his jokes, his smile, the way he ran his fingers through his hair, messing it up after spending so much time getting it right. The way he would draw out the syllables of her name, saying it in the way that only he could say it. The way he made fun of McGee, just to get her to smile. She knew that that was why he did it, because he would always look at her whenever he said something witty, seeing if she would smile. If she didn't then he would move from McGee to her, not making fun of her, but just saying pointless things, looking for a reason to talk to her. She would always smile, he always ended up saying something that made her smile or laugh. She loved it; the way he could always make her laugh. She loved it more that anything, she loved him more than anything.
