DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING! THERE IS ADULT SPANKING, DON'T LIKE DON'T READ AND DO NOT REVIEW ME THAT YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THIS I WARNED YOU!

THANKS TO ALL THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS AND ENCOURAGEMENT!

Gibbs was at his desk, finishing up the incident report of what happened at the crime scene and how his forensic scientist almost got herself killed. As he had sat down and started writing it each word only enflamed his anger at Abby and her complete disobedience. After slamming his hands down for the third time, he looked up to see Tony staring at him with wide eyes.

"That bad, huh!" Tony asked.

Gibbs just ran his fingers through his silver hair and sighed aloud. "Yes! Tony…..she could have…..what was she…."

Tony stood up, hating to see the man he called dad so visibly distressed. Gibbs was usually more contained with his emotion than he was at that moment. Walking to stand in front of Gibbs desk, Tony looked over at Ziva, giving her a nod to join him and when she did he started talking. " Yeah, we know what could have happened…..but remember…..it didn't. We got there in time and as for what she was thinking…hell is I know! All I know is that she aged me a good 10 years with this stunt…..and usually I am the first to defend Abby…..but this…this takes the cake." It was then Tony noticed that McGee was not there still, he knew that he had been called into Vance's office with Gibbs, but he didn't know what had happened. Tony and Ziva had picked up on the change in the relationship first, but did not want to be the ones to tell Gibbs. "Hey…by the way…where's Mclost?"

Gibbs looked at Ziva and Tony and smirked. "He is taking care of some relationship business in the lab with Abby."

Tony saw that glimmer in Gibb's eye and knew what he meant, but Ziva was not as clued in. "Bout time Probie stepped up!" Tony said with a grin.

Ziva, finally thinking she knew what they were talking about, spoke up. "Mcgee's not….he wouldn't…..he would never hurt her…..Abby would not let him." Watching the slight smile pass between Tony and Gibbs, she knew she was right. "Well, I for one would never let my lover ever discipline me." Ziva said as she stormed back to her desk and sat down.

Sensing that Gibbs was taking the whole Mcgee/Abby relationship so well, he thought he might go ahead and drop another bomb shell. With a gleam of mischief in his eye and knowing that Gibbs was watching them, Tony walked over to Ziva's desk, put a hand on each side of her chair, turned her to face him and said in a firm voice. "Yes…McGee is spanking Abby…I can promise you that when you one watches the love of his life almost die, he would….and you know Tim as well as I do…he would never hurt her…more than necessary….and if Abby loves him as much as he loves her, she will trust him enough to let him." Watching the expression of shock transform to one of acceptance, Tony leaned in and kissed her forcefully on the lips, showing possession. "And if your LOVER ever catches you doing something so stupid,…."Tony stopped and spoke in a voice low enough for her and Gibbs to hear, " I can guarantee you that I would take you over my knee and make sure you never did it again, sweetcheeks" Tony finished with another firm kiss.

Ziva was now fuming. Her eyes were wide, her cheeks red and her heart rate racing. "Tony.."

Gibbs, having just witnessed what he knew was Tony's way of telling him of their relationship, smiled as he looked at the two of them squaring off for the crown. "Hey…you two!"

Tony had forgotten that Gibbs was there. " UMMM! Boss…"

"Already figured it out! Take this match of king of the hill back home. You can finish the reports tomorrow!" Gibbs barked out as he watched Tony scurry away to his desk to close down his computer and pack up. Watching the warring feelings flash across Ziva's face, he walked to her desk as she stood up to leave and put his arm around her, pulling her in close enough for her to hear what he wanted to whisper. "Zee, you are my daughter, fierce, strong warrior. But sometimes it's ok to be just be you, open, trusting and loving. Couldn't have picked a better man for you….trust him to love you." Gibbs looked down into her eyes and saw the tears welling up, he kissed her gently on the top of her head and pushed her towards Tony. He watched Tony open his hand, Ziva put her hand in his and Tony close it tight and secure, an open sign of his love and her acceptance. Gibbs watched them as they boarded the elevator and as the doors closed he sat down and put his head in his hands, one battle down…one to go. No sooner than that thought crossed his mind, he heard the slow thump! Thump! Of Abby's boots walking across the floor. He pretended to be busy reading his report until he heard her.

"AHEM!" Abby cleared her throat, she knew that Gibbs knew she was there he was just wanting her to let him know that she was there on her own will.

Gibbs looked up and immediately his heart did a little flip. Abby was standing in front of his desk, hands rubbing her stinging backside, eyes red from crying and her hair slightly askew. It hurt him to see her in this condition, taking a deep breath he happened to glance down at his desk and when he saw the report, his resolve to finish this returned. "Abigail, I assume you and Tim had your discussion."

Abby nodded her head up and down, trying to keep the sniffles from coming back. "Ye…yes."

Gibbs stood up and cut off his desk light. "Ok, let's go home to finish this. Tim will pick you up in a little while. You will leave your car here until we can arrange for it to be taken to my house for a while." Gibbs said as he had one arm around her waist waiting on the elevator. He could tell the when the words registered because he felt her shoulder stiffen. He led her into the elevator and as soon as the doors closed he flipped the emergency switch, stopping the elevator.

"What? I need my car..I need… You can't do that!" Abby started to argue but was quickly stopped.

SMACK! SMACK!

"OWWWW!" Abby said as she quickly covered her backside. "You know what happened in my lab….that hurt!" Abby fussed back.

"Obviously McGee wasn't too hard on you if you can still get an attitude." Gibbs said as he turned her to look him face to face. "What I was saying is that you are grounded from your car for one month!"

Abby, still astonished that Gibbs was doing this started to argue again. "But…you can't…..I mean you can….but how will I get to where I need to go? Work, store, out." Abby said the last word with less enthusiasm.

Gibbs caught that and quickly answered Abby's unanswered question. "No out! You are grounded totally for the whole month. Tim will drive you to work and home. If for some reason he can't than one of us will. That's it! WORK and HOME!" Gibbs emphasized that with the raise of his brow and the slight turn of his head, silently asking Abby is she had any doubts.

Abby swallowed loud as she just nodded her acceptance and turned back to face the elevator doors. She felt the elevator start up again and then she looked up sideways at Gibbs, trying to gauge just how deep she was in trouble with him for. Not getting the usual small grin, she just sighed as the doors opened and they headed to Gibbs' car. "I'm in pretty deep, huh?"

Gibbs stopped as he opened his door to look over the top of the car at Abby. It was as if she didn't understand just how dangerous the situation had been. That only fueled the fire in him that made sure that when he was done with her, she would never do something that stupid again, but first he had to get her to see just why he was so intent on punishing her. " You ask that as if you didn't know you were in trouble? Abby,…." Gibbs took a deep breath, dealing with Abby was like dealing with a child sometimes. "If you do not understand just how deep the shit you are in is…..then I suggest you sit here quietly and think about what actions we….you and I….are going to take care of." Gibbs ground out through clinched teeth.

Abby knew she was in deep, but was hoping to get some sympathy from Gibbs, but instead she seemed to make him madder. Self-preservation intervened before she could start to argue back. She quietly slid into the seat and did not make another sound the whole way home.

Gibbs had knew that making Abby think of what was the true reason he was so mad would keep her quiet. As he pulled into the driveway, he looked over to Abby and saw that she had dozed off. When he saw her like this, so open and vulnerable, it made him want to take her and wrap her up and keep her safe. He leaned to kiss her on the head and gently tugged her ponytail to wake her up. No use putting it off anymore. "Hey…sleephead…wake up we are here."

Abby stirred slightly and jolted up when she realized where they were. There was no turning back now. She looked out at the window as if she was looking at a hanging gallows. She opened her door and started towards the door when she heard Gibbs yell at her.

"Go on in…doors unlocked. Go to your room, find a corner and stand there til I get there. Understood?" Gibbs asked as he watched her open her mouth to ask why, but cut her off. "Not open for discussion, Abs….GO!" He watched her open the door and quickly head up the steps. Opening his phone, he dialed McGee. "Yeah…..we are home."

McGee, seeing Gibbs on his caller ID quickly answered it. "McGee." Hearing Gibbs tell them they were home, he asked the question that had been nagging at him the past hour. "Ok….well…I mean….How…"

Gibbs grinned into the phone, knowing what Mcgee was getting at. " Don't worry Tim, Abby is fine. You did not hurt her. She still loves you…."

"I know Gibbs, it's just….that….that was…." McGee stumbled as he tried to find the correct words.

Gibbs knew exactly where McGee was coming from and decided to make it easier on him. " Hard…It was hard wasn't it."

McGee sighed so loud that Gibbs could hear it on the other line. "Yeah…I never."

"I know…It's never easy, but you love her enough to keep her safe from herself. Now you understand when I say it hurts a father to have to discipline his child almost as it hurts the child." Gibbs stated.

"Yeah… I mean…I supposed to be the one to protect her…and yet I made her cry….I…" McGee stammered.

"Did the right thing. After you spanked Abby, was she mad?"

"No! In fact she only got mad when I doubted if I was right in spanking her."

"So in other words, she understood the punishment and accepted it and moved on….so should you Tim. She is fine, can't guarantee that she will be feeling to fine when I get done with her. This dad is going to make sure his daughter NEVER does this again. I will call you when I am done, you can come over. More than likely may need to stay the night, she is not going to feel like sitting in a car for a while."

"Ok, I will wait on you to call. Thanks….Dad" McGee said as he hung up.

"Welcome..son!" Gibbs closed his phone and entered the house and headed up the stairs. He walked into the girl's room and saw Abby standing in the corner just like she was suppose to be.

Gibbs pulled out the desk chair and sat down. "Abby."

Abby had heard Gibbs enter the room and turned when he called her name. She had been thinking about just how foolish she had been and just how much worry and fear she had caused the ones who loved her. Tears were already falling from the guilt. As she walked to stand beside Gibbs she was looking down, but Gibbs gently pulled her chin up so she could see his face. "Abigail Scuito Gibbs….I can not begin to imagine what crossed your mind. Why? Why would you deliberately go against something I specifically told you no about."

Abby could only tell the truth. "I thought you told me no just because you thought I shouldn't be there. Like I was a child who was not big enough to ride the roller coaster. I truly…truly did not think the suspect was still out there. I would have never went…." Abby was crying now as she realized just how petty her excuse sounded.

"Just like a child who didn't get her way! You ignored me! You could have been KILLED! He had you in his arms. Can you even begin to imagine what was going through my mind! Huh! All I could see was another daughter of mine dying!" Gibbs was yelling now, he wanted her to see just how much her actions hurt.

Abby had never thought of that, she started crying harder as she realized just how much pain she had caused Gibbs.

Gibbs, seeing that his words were getting the point made now pushed the final spike in. "Now, imagine how Tim, the man who wants to spend the rest of his life with you, the man had to stand there and watch as a crazed murdered held a knife against the future mother of his children. He could just see all those dreams going down the drain if this man killed you. That is the worst feeling a man can ever have, the feeling of being powerless."

Abby now fully understood just how deep she was in, the thought that she had put Tim through that made her put her head in her hands and openly sob. "OH GOD! I'm so sorry! I was so selfish! I didn't think…"

Gibbs, now realizing that Abby now knew the full ramifications of her actions, decided it was time to move on. "That's right…you didn't think. Well, missy…..after we are done tonight, I can guarantee, you will think." Gibbs pulled Abby over his lap, and threw up her skirt. Seeing no remnants of the earlier spanking, Gibbs pulled his hand back and landed his first SWAT! Full force.

"ARGHH!" Abby bounce forward on Gibbs knees from the force of the one swat. She knew that this was going to smart for a while. "TOO HARD!" Abby said as she threw her hands back to shield her backside.

SWAT! "Just a warm up!" Gibbs said as he proceeded to land SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT!SWAT!SWAT!SWAT! He watched her backside start to turn bright pink.

Abby was kicking her legs, and swinging from side to side, trying to avoid each heavy lick from Gibbs heavy hand. His many years of woodworking made his hands as hard as a paddle. "OWWW! OWWW! OK!PLEASE!" Abby begged.

Gibbs stopped after 20 more licks with his bare hand, Abby was sobbing loudly, her backside was red and Gibbs gently stood her up.

Abby thinking this was over, sighed, but was quickly cut off.

"We are not done by a long shot. I want you to sit here at the desk and write a letter to Tim, about whatever you feel you need him to know about what has happened. I will come back up in 30 minutes to check on you."

"Gi-gi-gibbbbbbb! I can't sit!" Abby bawled.

"Yeah you can." He said as he pushed her into the chair.

"OWWW!" Abby exclaimed as she sat down. She watched Gibbs put some paper and pen in front of her. She looked up at him with her best puppy dog eyes, but it did no good.

"Get busy!" Gibbs said as he exited the room and headed down to the kitchen. Opening the fridge he grabbed two cans of soda and headed back upstairs. Opening the door, he put the drink on her desk and looked at her. "Thought with all the tears you have cried today, you might be thirst." Gibbs said as he kissed the top of her head and headed back downstairs. "28 minutes.."
