Gibbs pulled up outside his house; the car trip home had been fairly quiet. Gibbs and Abby both lost in their own thoughts. Abby was smiling away at some unknown thought. Gibbs stepped out and walked around to Abbys side and opened the door for her. "Such the gentleman you are, my silver haired fox". Gibbs smiled at the comment and held out a hand for her to take. Abby grabbed Bert and handed her bag to Gibbs and then grabbed his arm and they walked up to Gibbs house, as always the door was unlocked, Gibbs pushed the door open and ushered Abby into his house.

"Gibbs, you really need to lock your door, anyone could steal something you know, oh and by the way Gibbs have you finished that boat you were working on the other week, can I see it, pretty please". Gibbs laughed and replied by kissing Abby on the cheek and closed the door behind him. Gibbs released Abby's hand and put her bag on the lounge and went to turn the coffee machine on. Abby hugged Bert closely and wondered around Gibbs living room. There was only a TV and a lounge, the room seemed depressingly dull, but Abby knew better, Gibbs was never in this room he was always in his basement.

"Gibbs you really should get a computer or something, I could teach you how to use it". Gibbs poked his head around the corner and gave one of those famous interrogation looks. Abby just giggled and sat down on the couch.

Gibbs walked in with two coffees, he handed one to Abby and sat down next to her, As soon as he had sat Abby's stomach had started doing cartwheels, he was closer than normal and she could smell his aftershave. It was now or never, if she didn't kiss him now she would never be able to. She couldn't take it any longer; she reached forward and grabbed the coffee from his hand. Abby placed both coffees on the floor. Gibbs smiled lightly at this gesture, he wasn't sure what she was going to do but he had a feeling it was going to be interesting.

"What's on your mind Abbs" Gibbs started, Abby leaned forward and cupped his face in her hands and kissed him lightly, Gibbs responded willingly and allowed her tongue to enter his mouth.

Abby explored every inch of Gibbs mouth and vice versa. Abby slid her hands under Gibbs shirt and traced the outline of his body, every inch and every scar. Gibbs allowed Abby to touch his scars, whilst he pulled her hair out of the piggy tails they were in. Abbys hair cascaded down her back.

Gibbs detached himself from Abbys mouth. "You should wear your hair down more often; you look gorgeous with it down".

Abby blushed a little at this comment. "Can I see it now, please?"

Gibbs mistook this question for a double meaning and surprise registered on his face when he realized that she actually wanted to see the boat he was making. Abby broke into a fit of giggles when she realized what he had thought. The giggles became uncontrollable as Gibbs tickled her on the stomach. When the giggles had subsided, Gibbs stood up and helped Abby to her feet leading her towards his basement. Gibbs flipped the switch and the basement was lit up with light. Abby goggled at the site before her. The boat that he was making a couple of weeks ago was finished and the name KELLY was carved and painted into the side of the boat. "Its beautiful Gibbs, wow, Kelly would have been so happy. Abby turned to look at Gibbs, her eyes starting to water; Gibbs was staring into the distance lost in thought. Abby reached for his hand and led Gibbs out of the room turning the light of as they went.

"Gibbs, remember last valentines, you came into my lab, with a Caf-Pow and you put a little love heart on it saying, 'I love you'. Did you mean that Gibbs". Gibbs stopped walking and turned around to Abby and kissed her lightly on the lips "Of course Abbs, I really did, I care about you so much, and if anything happened to you, I don't know what I would do". Abby wiped the tears out of her eyes. "I love you to, Gibbs. I have for ages, I just didn't no if you felt the same way".

Gibbs cooked dinner while Abby had a shower; she got changed into a t-shirt that had skulls plastered all over the shirt and a pair of pants that were completely black.

While Abby had a shower Gibbs cooked dinner, he decided to go with stir fry. It was easy to cook and there was no way he could stuff it up. He setup the table in the kitchen and poured some coffee. While Gibbs had been setting the table up, Abby had snuck up behind him with Burt and squeezed him. Not only did Gibbs jump he left out a small yell. Abby turned around and attempted to run from the room but Gibbs was quicker, he turned and grabbed Abby around the waist in less than a second. Abby squealed and tried to free herself. Gibbs was stronger; he picked her up over his shoulder and headed for the lounge room. Abby stopped struggling and started laughing. "Put me down Gibbs, unfair". Gibbs just laughed and placed her on the lounge. "Wait here till I finish dinner or ill do more than just put you over my shoulder". Gibbs let the empty threat hang in the air. Abby pouted and replied "I'm so scared". Gibbs left to finish the dinner and set it out on the table.

About 5 minutes later Gibbs called out that dinner was ready and for Abby to get up and come to the table or he would have to make her. The dinner was nicely cooked and tasted alright to Abby. There was a comfortable silence whilst they were eating. The general talk was about work and that Abby needed new equipment to get more accurate results. After the dinner was finished Gibbs cleared the plates and washed up while Abby dried and put them away.

Abby went to find a movie to watch. There were heaps of movies here since she was last over. It was a tradition that on either of there birthdays they would go out to dinner then come back to Gibbs and watch movies. Abby picked out a romance movie and settled on the lounge waiting for Gibbs to appear. When he did appear he was wearing a pair of loose pants and a sweatshirt. Abby stifled a giggle. It was only on rare occasions that she would see Gibbs in anything other than a suit. Gibbs lifted Abbys feet and sat down placing her feet over his lap. "What did you choose Abbs?" Gibbs asked, Abby replied "The lake house, with Sandra bullock and Keanu Reeves".
Gibbs took one look at the cover and decided against saying anything. This certainly would get interesting, he would just have to try to stay awake.
