Chapter 4
"Hey Jen… can I call you that?" Abby questioned looking up at her.
"You can call me what you like" she smiled looking down at Abby lying across her chest.
"What are we going to do about work?" Abby asked sitting up in the bed.
"What do you mean?" Jen frowned leaning back on her elbows.
"Well Gibbs and the others" she shrugged.
"Just pretend at work nothing happened" Jen answered.
"But there is definitely something between us?" Abby asked staring at Jen.
"Of course!" she smiled rising up to kiss Abby's lips. "Would you like some ice-cream?" Jen asked changing the subject.
"Yeah but we can't go like this and I only have one set of clothes" Abby frowned.
"I'm not going ether, I don't want to get up" she smiled and rolled over and reached across to the phone on the bedside table. "Stan" Jen said once he picked up the phone.
"Yes Ma'am" he replied.
"You don't mind running an errand for me?" Jen asked.
"Course not" he said.
"Great" Jen beamed.
"What do you need me to do?" he asked.
"We'd like some ice-cream" Jen said.
"What flavour Ma'am?" he asked.
"What flavour do you want Abby?" Jen asked over her shoulder.
"Why did you tell him we are in bed?" Abby gasped.
"I didn't!" Jen frowned.
"You said we!!" Abby yelled.
"Yes but I didn't say we're in bed!" Jen frowned.
"Oh…" Abby paused staring at the phone and figured Stan probably heard all of that.
"Chocolate would be alright thanks Stan" Jen said.
"Yes Ma'am. Oh and Director" Stand paused.
"Yes?" she answered.
"I'm glad you're happy" he smiled and then hung up.

Kate frowned hearing someone knocking on her door.
"Yeah alright I'm coming!" she called getting up off the couch and walked across to her door. "Gibbs" she said surprised swinging the door open.
"Kate" he nodded pushing past her and let himself into her apartment.
"Do you need me back at work?" she asked closing the door and turned around.
"No" he replied shaking his head.
"Then why are you here?" she frowned confused.
"I came to talk to you about something that has been bothering me for a while" Gibbs said pacing up and down.
"I'm about to get fired aren't I?" Kate sighed.
"What? No!!" Gibbs shouted.
"Ok… well what is it?" Kate frowned even more confused.
"Ah, I shouldn't have come" Gibbs mumbled and headed for the door. His hand was on the door knob and about to turn it when Kate pulled him back.
"Tell me!!" she demanded.
"Ok" Gibbs said taking a deep breath. "I know I shouldn't as I'm your boss but I can't help it"
"Shouldn't do what?" Kate interrupted.
"If you let me finish you'll know what!" Gibbs growled.
"Sorry" Kate said putting her hand sup in defence.
"I love you" Gibbs blurted out. Kate stared at him for a while before opening her mouth but noting came out. "I knew it!" he grumbled turning around.
"Wait!!" she cried tugging on his arm. "I'm flattered really. I like you, I do!" Kate smiled. Gibbs smiled back and kissed her. Gibbs stopped hearing his phone ring, he pulled it out from his pocket and checked caller ID.
"Bloody DiNozzo!" he growled and flipped it open. "Yeah, Gibbs" he answered. There was silence as Gibbs listened and then spoke. "No need, she's with me. Yep be back soon" he said hanging up. "Something has come up at work" Gibbs said explained easing Kate's puzzled expression.
"I'll get ready while you ring Abby" Kate said quickly disappearing into her room.

Back at NCIS head quarters Gibbs and Kate plus Jen and Abby all arrived at the same time and entered into the lift.
"Uncomfortable!" Abby joked at the silence.
"Abs!" Gibbs laughed.
"What?" she shrugged looking at him.
"Never mind" he shook his head. The lift slowed and the doors opened.
"I'll see you later" Jen smiled and lightly kissed her cheek.
"So much for lying low" Abby growled exiting the lift after Gibbs and Kate.
"Oh yeah, oops" she winked as the doors closed again.
"Abby…" Kate gasped staring at her.
"What?" she shrugged looking from the two of them.
"You're still my Abs no matter what" Gibbs smiled faintly.
"Kate?" Abby asked softly.
"It'll take some time getting used to, but that's what best friends do" Kate said.
"I guess we're all rule breakers" Abby laughed seeing Kate holding onto Gibbs' hand.
