If Ever a Doubt
Tim was thankful that today was Saturday. He didn't have to face the team, or Tony again for that matter. As much as he would love to run to the older agent and scream at him for not answering when he needed it most. Because of the fact that he was pregnant, scared, and alone. Tim knew, though, that was his own choosing; to be alone. He didn't want to tell anyone that Tony had knocked him up. Yet, it was an accident.
He knew there would be no understanding. Especially form Gibbs or Vance. They would think him an idiot, and a rule-breaker and fire him. Possibly, fire Tony as well. That was worse than being pregnant. Tim felt as if his whole life was his work. He loved it and he was dedicated to it. He knew for a fact that the others were just as in tune with their work as he was. He could never raise a baby. Then again, he could never give it up, either.
Not being able to take it anymore, Timmy had called Abby to meet him at NCIS. They both had a key and getting in was easy. He had to see for himself. He had to see Tony's baby inside him. There was no other way of him making up his mind until he did.
The drive seemed like hours even though Tim lived a couple minutes away from Silver Springs to the NCIS building. The anxiousness set over him, making the morning sickness worse than it already was. He went inside and waited nervously for Abby in the hall outside of her lab. There was absolutely no turning back now.
Abby Scuito arrived no less than five minutes after. She didn't bother getting dressed, either as she was still in her black pajama pants with white skulls all over them and a short-sleeved black and white skull top to match it. Her hair was in two low pigtail braids and she wore no jewelry or make-up. She essentially huffed at Tim.
"It is, and I can't stress enough this, seven in the morning on a Saturday where I and you and nobody else has to work," Abby flaired her hands all over the place talking aggravatingly. "So you better have a good reason for calling me down here at, and again I say, seven. In the. Morning."
Timmy couldn't help but to smile just a little bit. He loved his best friend so much, that whenever he saw her, he smiled. It was just that effect Abby had on people. "It is. It's really important, Abby, please I'm sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you."
Getting her lab keys out, Abby looked narrow-eyed at her best friend and pointed the key in his face. "You better, McGee. Or else I'll have your head boiled deep in who knows what because I'm too tired to think and tell you what it is I'll boil you in."
"You won't think that for long," Tim mumbled following Abby inside. He turned on the lights for her and instantly looked around for a sonogram machine.
"Okay," setting her coat and keys down on the table, Abby put her hands on her hips, "what was so important that you had to-"
Tim interrupted swiftly, pulling his deep green t-shirt up revealing his good-sized baby belly. He looked at Abby nervously and waited.
"You..." Abby tilted her head. "Gained a couple pounds? So what, Timmy you can lose it right back again you have that-"
"Abby!" Tim sounded hurt and pouted deeply. Besides the fact that his weight had been a forever issue, it didn't help being pregnant knowing that all that hard work in getting thin was becoming a lost cause.
Abby bit her lip. "Sorry, " she got closer to look and bent over. Her eyes widened and she looked up. "Are you really?"
Timmy nodded. "Three months yesterday. During the Adrieanna case. I went to the doctor and they said I almost lost it because of the stress."
"Oh, honey," Abby hugged him tightly and comfortingly. Tim closed his eyes, sucking in the need to just break down in tears. Right now, he just needed his baby checked on. "Who's the father?" Abby's question struck fear right into him as she stepped back to look at him with concern and love. Timmy felt frozen and he said the first thing in his mind. What he set out to do.
"I need you to check on the baby for me. Do you have a sonogram machine?"
"Of course I do, " Abby hurried over to the corner of the lab by her MassSpec and grabbed a sonogram machine. She wheeled it over to the table and plugged it in. "This one is the new model. 3D, it's totally amazing. You can see everything on the baby, and I might even be able to tell the gender if the legs are in right position."
Tim felt his heart swell right up. He could know...maybe then he wouldn't be so afraid. "Yeah," he smiled, "I'd like that."
"Great. Lay down or stand up? I can work with either," Abby armed the gel in one hand and wand in the other, just bursting with excitement to see her best friend's baby.
Timmy grabbed Abby's computer chair. "Sit?"
"I can work with that too," Abby turned on the machine as Timmy sat down and slid his shirt off. She uncapped the gel with her teeth and squirted it on his belly to which Tim shivered at. "Sorry," she set the bottle on the table and kneeled down halfway, lowering the sonogram keyboard to her level and placing the wand on Tim's belly.
Both watched the screen anxiously as Abby moved the wand around, looking for the baby. She went to the center of his belly and instantly a small little baby popped up on the screen. Abby and Tim both gasped at the same time.
"My baby," Timmy grinned despite himself and the situation. A warmth came over him like he'd never, ever felt in his life before sleeping with Tony. He felt enamored and ecstatic.
Abby grinned. "Awww it's so cute Timmy!" She freezed the frame and pointed everything out. "There's the head...legs...arms...body aw!" She squealed and unfreezed it. "Let me see if I can find out the gender for you."
Timmy nodded still smiling, staring at the screen. His baby. His and Tony's baby. Something they made together. He had to tell now. It was just too evidentual. It was there and it was real and there was no turning back. He and Tony had made a baby.
"I can!" Abby grinned. "I can tell you what your baby is!"
"Tell me, tell me, tell me," Tim practically bounced in his chair, but remained still so Abby wouldn't lose her place.
Double checking, the Goth freezed the frame and checked once more. She turned to Tim and smiled. "Congratulations, best friend. You're going to have a daughter."
Timothy McGee almost broke down.
