Monday August 24th, 2004
Ever since that night a month ago, Agent Tony DiNozzo and medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer hadn't been around each other if they could help it. They'd both declared it a bad one night stand. Or Tony had anyways. Jimmy on the other hand still thought of that day often. He wanted to tell Tony just how he felt about him. However, he was afraid of the rejection and mocking he'd see in Tony's eyes. Little did he know but Tony still thought about that night too.
"And why are we late today Probie?" Tony asked seeing McGee walking in ten minutes late.
"Over slept," McGee said.
"Yeah likely story," Tony said.
"Believe what you want to believe," Tim said not in the mood today.
Yes he really had woken up late but that wasn't the reason for being so late. He'd spent his morning getting sick. Thankfully Jethro was gone by then. Tim knew his lover had a tendency to worry about him more so since getting the plague. Thankfully Gibbs had a meeting with Jenny today so he'd left early.
"McGee you're late! Don't let it happen again!" Gibbs said with an expression that said 'we're going to be talking later. Don't think we're not.'
"Yes Boss," McGee said going back to his computer.
The rest of the day was pretty peaceful for the most part. Thankfully in Tim's case anyhow they didn't have a case right now. He didn't even want to think what his stomach would do to him if he had to see a dead body right now.
"Here you go Probie. Your favorite, Kun Pow chicken," Tony said setting the container down in front of Timothy.
"Not hungry," Tim said not looking up from his computer.
"You not eat? You sick Probie?" Tony asked.
"No I just had a big breakfast," Tim said trying to keep what little he'd eaten for breakfast down.
"Come on it's your favorite," Tony said waving the box under Tim's nose.
"DiNozzo! Stop trying to shove the food down his throat. He'll eat when he wants to," Gibbs said seeing that his lover was looking a little green in the face.
"Yes boss," Tony said taking the container back to his desk.
Thankfully Tim was able to keep everything down so he didn't embarrass himself in front of Tony. He knew if his lover saw him get sick then he'd be in worry overdrive. Since he and Tony had gotten sick, Gibbs worried every time Tim so much as sneezed. He was afraid that he'd loose Tim for good this time.
Sometime later
"McGee!" Jethro yelled from his desk.
"Ya boss?" Tim asked looking up from his computer.
"We have a case, would you care to join us?" Gibbs asked standing up and walking towards the elevator.
"Coming!" Tim said grabbing his stuff and heading towards the elevator.
Now had Tim been paying attention he'd noticed that Kate and Tony were not in the room. However all of their gear still was.
Since they had no case and no paperwork to fill out, Tony had decided to go visit Abby. He'd visit Ducky, but that'd be seeing Palmer too, which he really didn't feel like doing right now.
Little did Tony know who was also visiting Abs at this time.
Abby's lab
"How's…" Tony started to say before trailing off after seeing who else was in the room.
"Tony!" Abby said.
"Hey I just remembered something I need to go do," Tony said leaving before either could say another word.
Had he'd stayed; he would have heard that they were talking about him. Well they were but not outright anyhow. Jimmy was talking about Tony, but he was pretending that Tony was a girl, not a guy.
"Just spit it out Palmer. I know you like Tony," Abby said.
"No I don't," Jimmy said having that dear caught in headlights look.
"Please and that's why you and he avoid either other like the plague," Abby said.
"Not the best choice of words there Abs," Jimmy said.
"Ok Ducky," Abby said.
"I'm nothing like Dr. Mallard," Jimmy said.
"Come on Jimmy I can see it on your face that you like Tony. Don't make me hurt you for the answer," Abby said meaning business.
"Fine yes I like him, happy now?" Jimmy asked flushing red in the face.
"Maybe," Abby said.
"Why maybe?" Jimmy asked getting uncomfortable.
"Well what are you going to do about it?" Abby asked.
"Nothing," Jimmy said.
"And why not?" Abby asked putting her hands on her hips.
"Because then it'll give him reason to mock me," Jimmy said.
"Not if he likes you back," Abby said.
"Fat chance," Jimmy said.
"Men!" Abby said throwing up her hands.
"What about us?" Jimmy asked.
"You must be blind or something Palmer. Because if you looked, I mean really looked you'd notice that Tony likes you too. Since the 4th he hasn't been the same," Abby said.
"Abby he doesn't like me. He likes his women too much to like me," Jimmy said.
"Hey! What was that for?" Jimmy asked after getting slapped upside the head by Abby.
"He does too like you!" Abby said.
"No he doesn't. I think I'd remember him saying something," Jimmy said.
"Ugh!" Abby said throwing up her hands and walking away from Jimmy.
Meanwhile in the elevator
"Boss what'd…" Tim started to say before finding a finger on his lips hushing him.
"Now I'm going to ask this once and once only. What is wrong with you?" Gibbs asked in a soft voice that was usually reserved for the bedroom.
"There's nothing wrong boss," Tim said not looking his lover in the eye.
"You're lying McGee. Tell me what's wrong. I won't be mad," Gibbs said.
"Gibbs there's nothing wrong," Tim said looking him in the eye this time.
"Good there for a minute I thought you were going to say you were pregnant," Gibbs said having to smile.
Had he been looking at his lover, he'd seen the panicked look on his face.
"Why would you ask something like that?" Tim asked his lover's back.
"Well for starters you not wanting your favorite for lunch and the way you looked when you got in today. You reminded me of what Shannon was like when she was pregnant with Kelly," Gibbs said.
"How would you even come up with that?" Tim asked.
"Let's see McGee what did Ducky tell you about six months ago?" Gibbs asked finally turning around to face his lover.
"Yeah but I'm you know," Tim said blushing bright red in the face.
What he wasn't able to say was that he was on 'the pill' but this pill wasn't like the one women took. It was specially made for men who were able to conceive.
"Yeah so was Shannon. Just because you're on it doesn't mean that it's not likely," Gibbs said turning back around and pushing the button so the elevator would move again.
"Oh," Tim said starting to panic.
'Could I really be?' Tim asked himself.
'No! Just getting sick one morning doesn't mean that,' Tim thought to himself.
He would probably have kept arguing with himself had his lover not interrupted him.
"Did you even hear a word I say McGee?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah," Tim said trying to recall what his boss/lover said.
"What did I say then?" Gibbs asked.
In response he got a bashful looking Timothy.
"I was saying McGee don't worry. Unless you've missed a day then I don't think you have anything to worry about. You haven't, have you?" Gibbs asked smiling.
"No boss I haven't," McGee said.
"Good boy," Gibbs said placing a kiss on his forehead before the doors opened.
Meanwhile Timothy was freaking out and racking his brains to see if he could remember forgetting anytime. While Timothy was doing that, Abby was trying to come up with a clever way of getting her boys together. She decided that it about time for someone to find love. Even if Gibbs couldn't, didn't mean the rest of them had to suffer.
Next chapter: Does she do it? And is Timothy pregnant? Stay tune to next time.
