THANKS TO ALL THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS! THEY INSPIRE ME TO CONTINUE ON!

In Abby's lab…

Abby had been standing there for over 30 minutes and now she was no longer thinking of why she was in the corner, she was mad at being left alone for so long. "Maybe Tim forgot…" Abby said aloud as she started to turn around and leave the corner.

"Afraid I forgot what Abby?" Tim said.

Abby looked at Tim's stance, arms crossed his chest, shoulders back, and she knew she had better not push it. "I…me." Abby spoke quickly. "I had been here for so long that I thought you had forgotten about me." Abby was quickly losing her patience and her temper was starting to flare. "How dare you leave me here for so long? I can't believe I even stood in a corner just because you threatened me." Abby noticed that Tim was not alone, as she now saw Gibbs standing behind Tim's left shoulder. 'Time to play the baby card.' Abby thought to herself. "Gibbs…did you hear that…..Tim threatened me." Not seeing the kind of response she expected from Gibbs she continued on. "Gibbs..Tim threatened me….me…you know Abby…..the baby."

Gibbs knew that Abby was expecting Gibbs to get on to Tim, but he knew he and Tim had to show a united front to Abby. "I never heard a threat with my ears…so I do not know what he threatened." Gibbs said with a smirk.

Abby could not believe what she had just heard. Throwing her hands up in frustrations, she started yelling, "He….he told me that if I did not go straight to my lab, find a corner and stand in it until he came to me he…..he…. he would show my ass his displeasure with his hand in front of the team…right there…right then." Abby finished in a huff. How could Gibbs not see just how wrong this was?

Tim was growing more and more angry as he listened to Abby toss him in front of Gibbs as an sacrifice to save her own backside. Tim started towards Abby with one thing in mind, showing her what exactly he meant when he felt a hand stop him.

"One minute Tim." Gibbs said as he stepped in front of Tim and started towards Abby. "Listen hear Abigail." Abby nervously gulped when she heard Gibbs call her Abigail, that was never a good sign. "You have been running roughshod over me and Tim these past two weeks. I was lenient on you with these repeated speeding tickets, the lying, but you took the cake with you little escapade today. So in response to your complaint of Tim threatening you," Gibbs took a step towards her and lowered his voice and finished, "I would have not threatened you, I would have done it." Gibbs watched as her mouth dropped in surprise of what Gibbs was saying. She was starting to say something when he stopped her. "And, if he does not follow through on that…." Gibbs said with a nod. " Then I will. Tim and I had a small talk on the way down here, and we came to an agreement. I will let Tim explain our little discussion and then I will see you in a little while." Gibbs walked over and gave her a quick peck on the cheek and turned back to exit the lab. "She's all your Tim." Gibbs said as he closed the door to her lab and walked up the stairs.

Abby took a deep breath as she watched Tim slowly walk towards her. " Listen….Tim….McGee….I…"

Tim stopped inches from Abby and looked deep in her eyes. "Abby….I think we need to talk about us."

Abby was confused by this question. Then a thought flashed through her heart, maybe she had pushed Tim too much and now he wanted this over. She had just found her true love and now it was leaving. Tears welled up in her eyes as she just nodded to Tim.

Tim took a deep breath and continued. "I thought that you loved me, like the forever kind of love. But here you throw me in front of Gibbs, hoping he would punish me for threatening you. I don't know what to think of that?" Tim said as he ran his hands through his hair.

Abby, realizing for the first time, that she had actually done that. "Oh…Tim…I didn't….. I mean I did…but. Oh…Tim… I am so sorry….I love you…I…I….Please don't throw me…..us away….Can you forgive me?" Abby cried as the tears flowed freely down her face. Her heart was breaking in half.

Tim could not stand to see the woman he loved in so much pain. Pulling her close into his arms, he gently stroked her hair as he quieted her cries. "Shhh! I love you too! You should know that by now….why would you even think that?" Tim questioned as he continued to soothe her.

"Be-Be-Because….you wanted to ta-ta-talk about us….and I have not been so nice to you." Abby murmured as a new onflow of tears was started by her feeling of guilt about her actions.

"Shhhh." Tim whispered as he continued to stroke her hair, hoping some of his calmness would melt into her. Tim leaned her back just enough to look into her eyes and saw the love there, but he also saw the guilt. "I just wanted to talk to you about us….as a couple. You know I love you more than anything, right?"

Abby just nodded her head up and down.

"And you know that when I say I love you, I mean it in a forever kind of way. I love you so much that I can't imagine my life without you." Tim explained, hoping to convey just the strength of his love.

Abby nodded her head in agreement and sniffled. "I-I-I know. I love you the same. That was why I was so upset a minute ago…I thought you were done with me….SIGH!" Abby took a deep breath and continued. "I know I have been a brat lately. I just had never gotten away with much before, so when I did the first time, it felt so liberating, like I was a rebel. I just kept on pushing the limits. I never realized just how much having boundaries and consequences helped me out when I used to think of stupid things to do. I always thought what would Gibbs do if he found out, but when he did find out and did nothing I just…lost it?" She said with a sense of question.

Tim just giggled lowly. "Yeah…lost it is a way of putting it. Abby, do you know why I was so upset with you and put you in the corner?"

Abby dropped her head, she hated to admit it but she did know what she did was wrong, but having to verbally acknowledge it made it real. "Yeah, I lied to you about where I was going, and I disobeyed Gibbs in going to the crime scene."

Tim put his fingers gently under her chin and raised her eyes to his again. "Yes….that was true….but is that the main reason why I was so upset with you…when you went to the crime scene….what did you do…?" He was trying to get Abby to see where he was coming from and why he was so upset.

Abby nibbled on her lower lip as she thought about his question and her eyes opened wide as what he was getting at crossed her mind. "I-I didn't think about it that way. I…..I put myself in danger when I returned to the crime scene. I didn't know the suspect was still on the loose and was there. But….TIM! In my defense…I didn't know he was there….honestly!"

"I know that Abby, but did you ever think that was why Gibbs specifically told you not to go to the crime scene. I mean…did you misunderstand the word no or were you just going to do what Abby wanted to do and it didn't matter what anyone else thought…..or might have known." Tim said as he was wanting to wrap this up, deal with lying to him and then letting Gibbs has his go.

"I'm sorry….There I said it again…SORRY!" Abby said with a touch of anger.

"I would watch the attitude Abs, not going to help you much. Ok, so as you mentioned before, you never realized just how much easier it was when you knew there were consequences for you actions. So Abby, do you trust me, as your friend, lover and future husband?" Tim threw the last statement in wanting her to see that this was a lifetime love he had for her.

Abby started nodded her head yes before he even finished the statement. "Yes."

"Do you know that I would never….never hurt…." Tim stammered as he wanted there to be no mix-up with what was going to happen.

Abby, sensing the nerves in Tim, knew what he was getting at, and even though she knew she would dread what came next she knew that he would never hurt her. "Tim….I love you...I trust you with my life and that means that I trust you to reign me in when I go a little overboard. If Gibbs has taught me one thing it is that when you love someone, you will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Even if the said loved one has to receive a few butt-warming conversations, to remind them and guide them." Abby said as a slight blush came over her face.

"Abby, so are you saying…" Tim was baffled. He just knew Abby would fight him tooth and nail on this, but instead she was letting him know it was OK.

"Tim, I may be a little on the wild side, but my mother was a brave, adventurous woman, and sometimes she would get in over her head. I know my mom and dad had a deep love, but I also know my dad let my mom know when her adventures went too far…so yeah…I know….but don't expect to like it, and I may push against you but in the end, I trust and love you enough to let you do this." Abby said with a slight smile.

Tim just walked to the edge of the desk, sat up on the corner and called her to him. Curling his finger in a come here motion he said. "Come here."

Abby walked between his legs, gnawing on her lower lip as she held his hand and looked at him, anxiously awaiting his verdict.

"I love you!" Tim said with a kiss on her head. "Ok first, I am going to spank you for lying to me about where you were headed now. Then you will go to Gibbs, and see what he has planned…."

"Gibbs! No way!" Abby squealed out, she knew that not only was she in trouble with Tim but Gibbs also, but she had hoped that once would cover all her transgressions. "He will….I mean you know what he will do….." Abby said as she tried to pull her hand out of Tim's.

"Yes, way! I will take care of you lying to me now, and then for the next two nights you will receive a spanking from me before we go to bed for the speeding tickets, the broken promises of no more speeding, endangering you life while driving and texting and for the overall attitude problem. But….what you did when you deliberately disobeyed dad, was wrong and that is up for him to take care of…..so any more questions?" Tim asked, knowing that she was trying to stall what she knew laid ahead.

Abby resigned herself to the fact that the guilt she felt for all her stupid shenanigans would be alleviated once this was over, and shook her head no as she readied herself as well as she could. She felt the slight pressure on her back as Tim laid her over his knees. "No!" Abby threw her hands back briefly protesting as he flipped up her skirt.

"Yes, I am not as experienced at Gibbs is with this, and this is not like the playful spankings we have during sex, this is a punishment and I do not want to bruise you." Tim said as he grabbed her hands in his and held them up against her back. He had a feeling that as calm as Abby is now, that when he started she would be squirming.

SMACK! The sound of Tim's hand against her underwear was loud, but the pain that shot through Abby was smarting, and it was only one. "OWWW! TIM! TOO HARD!" Abby cried out as she tried to move out of the way of the next swat.

SMACK! "Supposed to hurt Abby, that's the point of a punishment to make you think twice before you so something so foolish again," Tim said as he brought his hand down again. SMACK! "You do not lie to me!" SMACK! "I can't keep you safe if you lie." SMACK!

"Ow! OWWWW! I'M SORRY!" Abby started to feel tears prickle her eyes as the 5 licks that Tim had given her were hard and she realized that there was more muscle to the man than she thought.

"I know you are!" Tim said. SMACK! "and I know you will be before this is over." SMACK!

Abby was now crying, tears running off her face as she tried to squirm off of Tim's lap. She didn't know he could spank so hard and her ass was now starting to really burn. "OK…OK enough!" Abby shouted. "I get the point."

Tim could not believe that in the position Abby was in she still chose to yell at him , time to up the ante. Tim leaned her forward a little, bringing her cute cheeks up in prime position, making the tender spot where her butt met her thighs an easy target. SMACK!SMACK!SMACK!SMACK!SMACK! Abby was now kicking her legs in attempt to cover her ass, but that did no good. Tim wanted to end this now, he knew that Dad was going to have his turn tonight, so he laid 5 more licks on the top of Abby's thighs, ensuring that when she sat down in the near future, she would feel the warmth there.

"ARGHHH!" Abby cried as Tim finished the last licks and righted her between his legs. He pulled her into his arms and held her as she continued to cry. Abby knew that Tim would comfort her and it was his warmth that she clung to as she quieted down. Sniffling softly Abby looked up at Tim and said, "Timmy, that hurt, "Abby said while she was rubbing the sting out of her red cheeks.

"Sorry, baby, I know and I for one can tell that when Gibbs says that it hurts him almost as it hurts us, he means it. I hated to know that I was the one that was making you cry…I mean I am supposed to be the one to protect you from hurt and yet here I am hurting you. Maybe…I shouldn't…." Tim was starting to have second doubts about this whole spanking thing.

"Timothy McGee….I can't believe you….Do I look mad? Am I not in your arms at this very minute?" Abby asked.

"Well, yeah." Tim answered.

"Then we are good. I told you that I might fight you on this from time to time, but it's not out of physical fear from you, it's out of fear of my ass." Abby said with a kiss. In truth the sting was already leaving her backside, so she knew that he had not done any damage. "Now I still have to face dad!" Abby said as she leaned her head against Tim's shoulder.

"Sorry, sweetie. You dug your own hole with him. I still have to face him when I screw up, so shoo!" Tim said as he playfully popped her tail as she left the lab. He just smiled and waited….three…two…one… Abby came running full force and jumped into his arms, he knew that as soon as Abby left the room and what all he said would process through her head that she would pick up on what she missed.

"Oh! Are you serious? Did I dream it? Did I hear you right?" Abby babbled swiftly as she bounced up and down on her toes.

"Yes…and when I have all the correct items I will do it more formally, but…." Tim was interrupted by Abby.

"More formal my ass!" Abby giggled at that. "You said future husband, so I take that as a proposal and I say Yes! Yes! Yes!" Abby threw her arms around Tim and squeezed as hard as she could. "I have never been so happy in my life, I mean besides my tingly bottom and all."

"Love ya, Abbs." Tim said.

"Love ya too, Tim" Abby answered as she bounded out the door to go face dad. "I'll see you later!" Abby yelled over her shoulder as she pushed the button to go face the sleeping giant also known as dad.
