Never felt so bad
Kate sat curled up on her sofa a blanket over her as she flipped through what was on the idiot box as Ollie called it. A small smile came over her as she thought of him. She looked at her watch and tried to figure out what time it would be there. Biting her lip she'd give it a try anyway. The phone rang out no one was there and Ollie had broken the answering machine months ago.
Kate was brought out of her thoughts by a knock at the door she frowned wondering who could be visiting her at 11pm on a Friday night. She got up and made her way over to the door, she looked through her peep hole to see Tony standing there looking bored. She rolled her eyes and opened her door. He smiled and gave her a quick hug and held up a DVD she rolled her eyes and nodded. She let him in and locked the door behind him.
Tony placed the DVD in her DVD player and sat on the sofa on the blanket. Kate sat next to him trying to pull the blanket out from under him. "Get up you oaf"
"Well for that I think I'll stay put"
"Tony please I wouldn't have it out but my heaters on the fritz and only heats the room a little bit."
"Fine you woos" he got up and let her pull it across her. He hit play and sat back. His arm grazing hers. The goose bumps that occurred from that he was glad he'd kept his jacket on. Smiling at her he settled back and watched the movie. Half way through he noticed Kate had fallen asleep her head rest on his shoulder. She looked mighty uncomfortable. He laughed and pulled her down so she was lying across his lap. He then continued to watch the rest of the movie.
Kate woke up the following morning she tired to sit up but something was stopping her. She opened her eyes and they were assaulted by the bright light of the morning. When they had adjusted she found Tony slumped over her. She laughed and rolled her eyes. Before she would have yelled and killed him, for doing this now she didn't mind. In fact apart from losing the circulation in her legs she liked it. She poked him lightly. He didn't stir. She did it again.
"Wha- Tony yawned.
"As comfortable as you might be Tony your cutting circulation to my legs which I kind of need the use of"
"Oh shit sorry" he sat up and helped her up
"Thanks want coffee?"
"If you have any"
All she had to do was look at him and he laughed that was a stupid statement. All NCIS agents had coffee is was a staple part of the diet of an agent any agent it was the one thing that got them through the long hours of endless paper work and kept them from killing each other half the time.
"Have you been to see Abby lately?" Tony asked walking into the kitchen, he'd been in so may time even with in a few short weeks.
Kate shook her head she felt bad about it but she didn't know what to say to her. She had no idea what to say. She didn't know what it felt like she was lost and she felt worse even thinking about it.
"What about you?" Tony shook his head also.
Kate handed him his coffee and they headed back into the lounge room Kate sat her coffee on the coffee table and sat down tucking her feet under her, then picking up her mug and holding it in two hands.
"I don't know what I would say. I know just being there for her helps but I don't think I could see her just in her PJ's knowing she's been in them for days. Tim said he'd had throw out the last ones cos they were so smelly if they had been washed they would have fallen apart in the washing machine. I don't know how to feel about that"
Tony nodded he felt the same way. They were not used to this Abby although they would have to get used to this new person for a while, it was a weird and awkward situation.
He watched as Kate took a sip out of her mug.
"What?" Kate looked over at Tony eyebrows raised.
"Nothing" Tony shook his head. Kate raised her eyebrows again coking her head to the side.
"Your watching me intently what is it to I have something on my face?"
"No there's nothing there I was just thinking"
"Well that's new" Kate laughed putting her mug down and folding her arms.
"Ha funny"
"I thought so"
"Kate do you... well do you ever wonder what would have happened if Ziva and I hadn't come and found you what would have happened"
"No but now you mention it. I don't know it would have taken me longer to remember who I am I guess and I don't think I would have come back when I did. Yeah in time I may have but I might not have thought anything of it or I would have thought it was too much and just left it"
"I'm glad your back"
"So am I"
