A/N: So this is the last instalment of the little series. I hope you've enjoyed it! I don't really know what to say about it so I guess I'll just let you get to it.
oOoOoOo
Late
oOoOoOo
Sammy sat at her desk flipping though emails. It was the third time in the last couple months that Jenny had sent Tony and Gibbs to Gitmo on some assignment and Sammy could tell Declan was anxious. She didn't sleep well when Tony was gone and she was trying to hide it. Sammy watched her get up and head to the washroom for the 5th time in the last hour. She sighed, Declan had let herself suffer for the last two nights, being stubborn and independent and Sammy wished she would just come to her when they left but Declan had insisted she was fine.
When Declan sat down at her desk again Sammy looked up at her, eying her cautiously.
"Are you alright?" Sammy asked in concern.
"Yeah," Declan said, brushing Sammy's question off.
"You're sure?" Sammy asked, knowing Declan wasn't as fine as she was admitting.
"Yeah, really, don't worry," Declan said, flashing Sammy what she hoped was a reassuring smile.
"Alright," Sammy said, deciding to drop it.
Sammy got back to her email while watching Declan out of the corner of her eye.
When Declan got up to head to the washroom again 5 minutes later Sammy stopped her.
"That's the 6th time in just over an hour," Sammy said softly, "You sure you're ok?"
Declan sighed and sat back down, "I'm fine."
Sammy walked around her desk and sat of the edge of Declan's.
"Come on," Sammy said keeping her voice soft, "I know you're not fine, I just wanna help."
"My period is late," Declan mumbled, putting her head in her hands.
Sammy started gently smoothing Declan's hair, "When was the last time it was late?"
"When my dad passed away," Declan said with a sigh.
"When was the last time you slept through the night?" Sammy asked gently.
"The night before Tony left," Declan said as she sat up.
"That's what I thought," Sammy said, "How about you spend the next couple night with me; you can get some sleep and relax."
"Ok," Declan said, deciding it was time to just let Sammy take care of her.
oOoOoOo
Sammy and Declan walked into the bullpen the next day both refreshed and holding coffees. Declan was a lot more relaxed than before and Sammy was happy she was feeling better.
They both sat down and started to get to work.
oOoOoOo
Hours later Sammy and Declan sat on the couch in their pj's, a movie playing and a box of pizza sitting open on the coffee table.
By the time the movie was over it was getting late and Declan was starting to dose. Sammy turned off the dvd player and put the leftover pizza in the fridge before waking Declan up.
"Come on," Sammy said softly, gently shaking Declan's shoulder, "Time for bed Decky."
"Hmm," Declan said, sitting up, startled.
"Bedtime," Sammy said, just as softly as before.
"Mkay," Declan said, slowly standing up.
Sammy led the way to the bedroom. As soon as Declan walked in she crawled into the middle of the bed and got comfortable. Sammy flicked the light off then crawled in beside her letting Declan get close before dosing off herself.
oOoOoOo
It was after midnight when Tony let himself into his and Declan's apartment and found it empty. Normally he might be a little worried but he knew that when he was gone Declan didn't sleep and that she was probably over at Sammy's house. He thought about heading over to pick her up but decided that he was too tired and Declan was probably getting one of the only decent night's sleep she'd gotten all week so he changed into his pj's and crawled into bed, falling asleep the minute his head hit the pillow.
oOoOoOo
Gibbs let himself in and locked the door behind him before heading straight for his and Sammy's bedroom. He was exhausted and all he wanted to do was crawl into bed beside Sammy, pull her close and go to sleep.
He walked in and changed before crawling onto his side of the bed and pulled Sammy close, burying his nose in her hair, that's when he noticed it wasn't Sammy in his arms but Declan. He released her and sat up just as Declan came to.
"Uh, hey Gibbs," Declan said with a yawn, "Sammy's on the other side."
"I noticed," Gibbs said still working out his shock.
"If you get up I'll move to the guest room," Declan said, sitting up as well.
Gibbs didn't say anything, just slid off the bed and moved aside as Declan crawled out of bed and headed out of the room and across the hall to the guest room. She was tired enough that she didn't care she was sleeping alone she just crawled into bed and fell asleep again.
When Gibbs sat down on the bed again Sammy woke up.
"Num Nums?" She mumbled sleepily.
"Hey," Gibbs said softly, crawling in beside her and pulling her close.
"Where's Declan?" Sammy mumbled with a yawn.
"She moved into the guest room," Gibbs explained, burying his nose in her hair.
"Ok," Sammy said, curling up to his chest and falling asleep again.
Gibbs smiled and kissed the top of her head. He let himself fall asleep after getting over the initial shock and making a mental note to check before crawling into bed next time he came home from a business trip that Tony accompanied him on.
oOoOoOo
The End.
