Chapter 3- Serene Dreams
Ok this is the last possible one I can do before Christmas, I have so much to do.. Please review and enjoy! Dream Sequence with a couple twists..
She could tell she wasnt in a normal place. In her dreams she almost never went anywhere happy. But this was different, she was in a meadow. Which was strange because Hello she wasnt the kind of girl who went to meadows. It was a really big green meadow with tiny flowers. She really didnt know how to explain it to herself. She had never seen anything so peaceful. Her eyes, werent used to something so calm. She knew something was off but she couldnt put her finger on it. The last thing that she remembered was Michael.. hurting her. She wondered if Gibbs was with her? If he even cared? Tings weren't going to be easy once she woke up. She didnt even care anymore, she realized early on that she didnt feel pain here. At least that was comforting. The meadow was just a normal meadow, the sun was shining the wind was slightly blowing. But yet she felt, so unhappy. Everything she had worked so hard to keep safe was taken, in less than an hour. How cold she go back home and face everyone? Especially Gibbs, she was so embarrassed that Gibbs witnessed, what happened to her. How could she look in to his eyes again, knowing that her saw her at her weakest moment? She had so many questions, but she didnt want to answer any of them. That would require her to talk about what happened. She couldnt do that, everyone would be asking her if she was alright. She didnt want there pity, she wanted them to leave her alone. As of this very moment Abigail Scuito was terribly upset at everyone at NCIS even Gibbs. She let a tear escape her eyes, and just sat down in the middle of the meadow; laid back and watched the clouds pass by.
Gibbs hadnt left the hospital since she was admitted and that was 3 weeks ago. Apparently Michael messed her up very bad. The doctor told him early on that pain was enough to put someone in a coma. Besides the obvious Abby had sustained 4 broken ribs, broken wrist, fractured skull and ankle. On her face she needed 13 stitches, and other random spots on her body required stitches. All in all she had over 120 stitches on her body. Gibbs couldnt contain himself, he had to spend every possible minute at her bedside. He was so afraid she wouldnt come out ouf it, after all a fractured skull was enough to make her a vegetable. But he refused to let himself think like that, the doctors said there was a good chance she would be fine. After all she still had brain waves, the doctor said it was like a really long dream. Gibbs sat by her bed day and night talking to her, letting her know he wouldnt leave her. Once and a while he would grip her hand and pray softly, he needed her. He loved her, and he wouldnt be the same until she was back to her normal self with sparkles in her eyes. He missed seeing her eyes, and hearing her laugh. Heck he even missed bringing her Caf-Pows even though he always complained at first.
She didnt know how long she had been in the meadow, but she knew things were changing. At first they were subtle changes, like the flowers disappeared. Then before she knew it she wasnt in a meadow anymore. She was in a house she didnt know. It kinda felt like an old memory, but she kept quite, she knew there were people in this house. The last thing she wanted to do was make people mad. Looking around she decided it was a beautiful house, there were pictures of a a little girl everywhere. Turning around a familiar face caught her eye, it was Gibbs. A much younger Gibbs, but still Gibbs none the less. Out in the front yard, a younger Gibbs was playing with the little girl. Throwing her up in air catching her every time. This was a side of him she had never seen before. He loved this little girl. She heard the little girl speak, "Higher Daddy". She knew in an instant that the little girl was Kelly. But she didnt know how she got here or why. The scene changed yet again, not sure where she was now she turned around. She realised she was outside again, it was a funeral but she didnt know whos funeral it was. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks, it was Shannon and Kelly's funeral. She saw Gibbs in the front row, just standing there. Not crying, with a stone face. She could tell he was in deep emotional turmoil. She didnt know why she was seeing all of this but she did know this was a side of Gibbs she wished she never saw. It hurt her to see Gibbs so raw with emotion even if he wasnt crying, she knew him she knew how much he was hurting. The scene started to fade, this time she was happy to leave maybe this trip would be better. Boy was she wrong. This time she knew exactly where she was. In Gibbs basement she recognized the boat instantly, but what she wasnt expecting was Gibbs on the floor holding a gun to his head. She was scared, could this have really happened. She had no idea if this was real, but she had never been more scared in her life, even with Michael. Then she heard his phone ring she heard "Gibbs" slight pause "Oh hi Abs" slight pause again "No Im fine just working on the boat, What you got for me" pause again "Thats my girl Abs, be there in 5". He hung up, a look in his eye she had seen so many times before, he was in love. Gibbs loved her, he almost killed himself but my phone call saved him. She couldnt believe it, he loved her. She could see the emotion as he spoke to the air in front if him "If you only knew Abs." She felt her knees go weak, she felt excruciating pain, she knew she was leaving her dreamland. It hurt to go back with this much knowledge, she knew she would never look at Gibbs the same again.
She slowly felt herself come back, she felt a hand on hers. The next thing she knew, her eyes were open and she was staring straight at the ceiling. She turned her head to a sleeping Gibbs. She squeezed his hand, his eyes snapped open and a smile pulled across his face. He got out of the chair and kissed her on the forehead. She turned away, she was afraid of what she couldnt say but she was afraid of any physical contact. Gibbs sat back down in the chair a look of pure betrayal on his face. He whispered to her "Abs I would never hurt you". She turned to him and said "You cant promise that." Turning back away, she let the tears come. If he only knew what she had seen.
