Leroy Jethro Gibbs gently pulled Hollis up off of the chair. "Don't worry so much Hollis!" He embraced her in hug. "You should come and take a walk with me!" Gibbs directed her towards the front door.

"Jethro, why do we have to go for a walk I would rather stay here with you." Hollis retreated from his grasp and headed to the basement. Gibbs smiles as he followed after her. When he got to the bottom stair he saw Hollis sitting up on the workbench just staring at the unfinished boat. Gibbs went over and jumped up to sit next to her. "Staring at the boat will not get it finished. Did you come down here to work on the boat or something else?" Gibbs' eyebrow was starting to rise when he saw Hollis smile at the last statement. "Actually Jethro I wouldn't mind a drink!" Gibbs smiled and jumped off the work bench and went to grab the bottle he had been drinking yesterday. He dumped out a cup of nails and poured some bourbon, then passed the bottle to Hollis. "You can drink out of the bottle, don't want you drinking out of any cup in here to dusty from saw dust!" Hollis just smirked as she willing took the bottle. After taking a sip she set down the bottle, she jumped off the work bench and turned to Gibbs.

"I know you do not except apologies but I do feel like I owe you one." Hollis wrapped her arms around Gibbs neck. "Will you accept it?" Gibbs smiled and looked Hollis with sympathetic eyes. He knew that she was apologizing for last night, and deep down he didn't care. He was not mad at her at all. Gibbs leaned over and brought their lips closer together till they met and he brought his tongue to her mouth begging for entrance.

Hollis could feel the desire to have dominance of her mouth. She willing opened so he could explore. He enjoyed these passionate moments together and hoped that they would never cease. After the kiss, the couple went on to working on the boat for most of the morning into the mid-afternoon.

Gibbs was enjoying his time so much he completely lost track of time. He glared at his watch and flipped out. It was already going on 1535. He completely forgot he had to go to work and fill out paperwork on the case. He looked over at Hollis who was sanding a strip of wood. He made his way over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I forgot I have to go to work and fill out some paperwork. Plus I owe Abby a huge Caf-Pow or else she will be extremely upset." Hollis just laughed "Yep that is the last thing we need is an upset Abby."

Hollis removed herself from his grip and went to set the sander on the workbench. "I must be going home anyway. There is a lot to do." Gibbs frowned some, he did not want to go to work, or for her to go home. He pressed his hand against his pocket again. "I hope those plans don't take too long. I have dinner reservations tonight at your favorite restaurant!"

As Hollis was turning to leave she stopped at the sound of food. "Really, did you now?" She said in a sarcastic tone. "Yes I do, I will pick you up around 1900." With this Gibbs walked over to Hollis gave her a sweet kiss then exclaimed "I love you Hollis" as he climbed the stairs of the basement out of his house.

Hollis smiled as she watched her lover leave. He was always unpredictable and that was one factor that she loved about him. She went upstairs and grabbed her purse. When she had finished gathering her belongings she headed out the door to her place. All the way home she couldn't help but wonder what Jethro was planning, because he didn't usually just make reservations at her favorite restaurant for nothing

---------------------------------Meanwhile at NCIS headquarters---------------------------------

Gibbs came up the elevator to meet with his team in the bullpen. They were surprised to see him so late in the afternoon. They thought that he would not be coming in at all. "Hey Boss!" McGee exclaimed as Gibbs rounded the corner. "McGee, quit smiling and get me the report. I don't have time to sit around!!" McGee gathered some papers on his desk and handed them over to Gibbs, before he headed down to Abby's lab. Gibbs looked over the file quickly, but was unable to, since he forgot his glasses. He grunted with annoyance as he made his way up the stairs, to the directors office, two at a time.

As he entered in his usual way (without knocking), Director Sheppard jumped. "Jethro are you ever going to use my door correctly?!" Gibbs just smirked and tossed the file on her desk. "Case from yesterday, read it over. I think my team did a good job with it, I trust them." Director Sheppard gave Gibbs a confused expression then it clicked. "You forgot your glasses. Jethro just ask!" With that she took her glasses off her desk and handed them to Gibbs.

Gibbs took the glasses and grabbed the file. He walked over to her couch and sat while he read it. He couldn't help but smile at the fact that McGee actually did a good job with this file. He knew he made a good choice in his Senior Field Agent.

He quickly signed the file and passed it back to the director. Before she had a chance to speak, Gibbs had put her glasses back on her desk and was out the door. Gibbs did not have time to talk he still had one more stop before he got ready for the big night. He paid for the huge Caf-Pow and made his way down to Abby's lab.

Abby was taping away at her computer over McGee's shoulder smiling and kissing his neck. Gibbs smiled from the door and couldn't help himself. "McGee! What are doing down here?" Abby quickly jolted upright sending McGee flying off the chair. As he was regaining his position on the chair, he turned to his boss and was unable to find the words he was looking for. "N…N…No…Nothing.. B..Bo..Boss."

"What McGee is trying to say Gibbs, is he is not really doing anything. Since we solved the case yesterday he decided to come down here and keep me company while I caught up on some system updates." Gibbs smiled and set the Caf-Pow down in front of her. "McGee I think you have other things upstairs on our computers that you could be doing." With that McGee was bolting out of the lab to the elevator.

"Gibbs…. That was not very nice. He was just helping me. You did not have to be that rude." Abby huffed as she made her way to her desk through the sliding door. Gibbs followed soon after. "Abbs.. I was just messing with him. Truth is I needed to talk to you alone."

Abby was about the only persons besides Hollis that he could talk to about anything. He knew that she would want to know about his plans, Abby was like a daughter to him and she knew it.

As Abby say at her chair she had a look of worry on her face. She cared very much about the man in front of her. Gibbs reassured her with a sweet smile and a kiss on the forehead. "Nothing is wrong Abbs. In fact everything is great. I have wonderful news, well I hope it is." Abby was jumping up and down with excitement in her chair. "I have decided it is time to propose to Hollis. I am doing it tonight!" Abby literally squealed with joy. "YEAH!!!.. It is finally happening. I am so happy for you. You need to be happy!" Abby jumped up out of her chair and launched herself at Gibbs giving him a huge bear hug.

Gibbs gave his thanks and made his way out of the lab. For some reason now he knew that he was making the right choice. No matter how many doubts he may have had before he knew that they were gone now. As he entered the elevator he saw Abby run up to the door. He put his foot to stop the elevator door from closing. "Yes Abbs?…" She just smiled. "I was just going to tell you that it will be nice to have a mom now." She ran back into her lab. Gibbs chuckled as he let the elevator doors close, he said to himself "Yeah, me too Abbs… me too.."
