Time Management Ch 3

Thanks to all the reviews! Thanks for the encouragement to go on with the family Gibbs sagas.

Abby had never shut down her lab so fast in her entire life. She knew that Gibbs never made an idle threat and the thought of him returning down to her lab made her shiver. Glancing at the clock and noticing she only had 1 minute left, she bolted for the stairs. Making it with 20 seconds to spare Abby now stood in front of Gibbs desk waiting for him to say something,

"You have something else to do?" Gibbs asked. He knew that it would make Abby take the next step on her own.

Turning towards McGee, Abby walked to his desk and dropped her keys on his desk. "UM, Timmy, would you and Tony take my hearse back to my place?" Abby asked while not looking directly at his face. She was twisting the tip of her shoe, trying to keep her embarrassment from showing.

"Uh, well , sure Abs. I mean, are you ok? Did Ducky say you can't drive? " McGee asked with a sincere concern. He did not want anything to be wrong with his little sister.

"Well, yeah he…." Abby started to answer McGee that Ducky was the reason she could not drive, but a subtle clearing of Gibbs throat made her think otherwise.

"No, truthfully McGee, someone thinks that I am not competent to drive, so there….I am grounded for 2 weeks. Go ahead and laugh, and you will regret it." Abby now said, the frustration of having to admit out loud that you are being punished making her voice a little louder than necessary. Abby stomped over to Gibbs and said. "Are we done here yet?"

Gibbs gave her one of his 'Don't push me any further looks' and crooked his finger for her to lean in to his desk. "Nope, but just for the little attitude, you can now wait for me to finish my paperwork by standing in the corner behind me."

Eyes wide open, mouth agape, Abby sputtered. " But, but Gibbs…then everyone will see…see. ..you know." Abby tried to protest.

As Gibbs gently led her to the corner to stand, he whispered in her ear. "Do you really think that no one else around here knows about out little family? They all know how upset Dad can get, so zip it." Gibbs turned and went back to his desk and finished up his paperwork. After 15 minutes, he grabbed his badge and gun from the desk and told Abby, "Come on, let's go."

Abby had used her time in the corner and had reflected on just how pissed off Gibbs was and just how much trouble she was in. As she walked past Tony she looked and saw him mouth 'Good Luck' to her. Oh, why did she get herself in these situations.

The ride back to Gibbs house was a quiet one. Abby was in no mood to talk, if Gibbs was going to treat her like a misbehaving teen, then she would act like one. Gibbs tried to break the ice by offering her choices for lunch. "Abby, do you want Chinese or American?"

"Whatever?" Abby rolled her eyes, and bit on her bottom lip.

"Excuse me?" Gibbs said as he pulled into his driveway. He was out of his door and opening hers before she even had time to undo her seatbelt. Gibbs grabbed her none so gently by the arm , landed on good SMACK! and marched her in the house and into the kitchen. Grabbing one of the tall stools he sat down and pulled Abby over his knee.

Abby was trying to squirm and get off his lap. She knew that in this position there was no escape. "Please Gibbs, can we talk? OWW!"

"No need to talk now, you had the whole ride home to try and you refused, instead you acted like a brat, so now this is for the attitude you have had today."

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK! Gibbs started to rain down smack after smack on her upturned backside. After a good 20 smacks, Gibbs flipped up her skirt and started peppering her more exposed, but still covered backside.

"NOOOO! Please, Gibbs. Dad…come on! OWW!ARGGHHH!" Abby tried to twist and turn and finally when she thought she couldn't take anymore, she threw her hand back to protect her backside.

Gibbs knew this was coming, so he just caught her hand and held it out of the way. After another 20 hard smacks, Gibbs was going to wind down this first part of her punishement. He laid 2 hard Smacks to each of her upper thigh areas, which elicited 2 loud YELPS! from Abby. Standing her up, he took her chin in his hand and pulled her face to look at him. "You will now go to your room, you will go to bed. I will bring you water and lunch in a little bit. Now.."

"B…b..but Gibbs, I…I…I… will be..be bored." Abby complained. "It is not even late morning. YAWN! What am I going to do? I have no TV, no music. You have made this so unfair. YAWN!"

Gibbs just smiled as he saw his youngest try to fight the urge to yawn. "This was all your doing, so just march on upstairs. I will bring you some medicine and water."

Gibbs watched Abby gingerly walk back up the stairs and head into her room. He went into the kitchen, filled a glass with water and grabbed two headache meds. He thought she might need these for when she has her first no caffeine headache. Walking up the stair, he turned to push open the door to her room and what he saw made him shake his head. "To think you had nothing to do, Abs." Gibbs said to himself as he crossed the room and saw Abby laying on her stomach, head propped up on her arms. She was sound asleep. Treading softly, he picked up the pink and black blanket, laid it across her, and he reached down to wipe the still wet mascara tracks off her face. A sense of rightness welled inside Gibbs, still leaning down he whispered, "Sleep tight, baby girl."

Please review! Next is the chapter of just how far will Abby go to get caffeine.
