Abby stood there in total shock at what she had just been told. She was definitely angry but the tears that began to run down her cheeks said otherwise. Kate tried to wipe her tears away but Abby just pushed her back and walked off down to her lab.
Kate just stood there for now, she'd definitely screwed up big time. She watched Abby storm off to her lab and didn't do anything. She knew that right now Abby was going to need time to herself, she wouldn't even let Kate near her.
Abby just curled up under her desk where she sobbed, she missed Kate like hell though and about ten minutes later when she finally got back to her feet she saw Kate standing there, she looked sorry. Abby knew right then that her girlfriend hadn't meant to sleep with Tony. She took in a shaky breath and walked over to her. The two women embraced and Abby whispered one small sentence. "I love you, I forgive you." She didn't know how she managed to say that but she knew full well that her and Kate would be able to patch up their relationship.

Over the next few weeks everything seemed to be going back to normal, Kate and Abby were back to having a loving relationship though Abby refused to even look at Tony, blaming him for taking advantage of Kate. That morning though Kate was the first one awake, she quickly slipped out of Abby's arms and rushed into the bathroom where she started to throw up. She didn't even want to acknowledge what this might mean. So she quickly cleaned up and took a shower. Gibbs had called her cell as soon as soon as she walked into the kitchen, so she pulled on fresh clothes and left Abby a note telling her that she'd been called in early.
Abby had woken about half an hour later to find the note next to her on the bed. "Gibbs called me in early, sorry I didn't get to wake up with you sweetheart, I love you, Katie." Abby couldn't help but smile since Kate had ended it like she did all her notes to Abby with two little love hearts under her name. Abby stretched and yawned then before she went downstairs to make herself breakfast. It wasn't long after that till she was ready and getting into her car to drive to work. She didn't stop smiling to herself, her life with Kate was back on the right track and she was so happy, she couldn't ask for anything more.

It wasn't until the next day that Kate finally had the guts to take a pregnancy test. She sat on the toilet at home with her head in her hands while she waited for it to develop, those ten minutes felt like a life time. She tentatively glanced down at the test then which was just at her feet. She covered her mouth and held back a sob when she saw that it was positive. She'd honestly expected it though. Now she just had to figure out how to tell Abby about the baby, DiNozzo's baby at that, she was carrying. She picked up the test and walked down to the lab. "Abby?" She called out, glancing around for her partner.
"Right here Katie." Abby smiled softly and rolled over to her in the desk chair she was sat on, she pulled Kate into her lap and then saw the pregnancy test her girlfriend was clutching in her hand. "You're pregnant huh?" She sighed softly and kissed the top of her head, "I'll support you through this because I love you Katie. It kind of grosses me out that you're carrying Tony's baby, but I know we can raise this child together. And I promise I'll be there for you through every step of this pregnancy."
Kate had tears in her eyes at this point, maybe it was from the increased hormones, this woman right here couldn't make her happier. "I love you Abby, I love you so, so much." Her tears fell then just as the two women joined lips in a warm and tender kiss, Kate's arms around Abby's neck and Abby's around Kate's waist.

Abby smiled to herself now as she watched Kate sleep. Her girlfriend was now 8 and a half months pregnant and snuggled up to Abby as much as the bump would allow. She couldn't help but laugh softly when she felt a kick to her hand. Kate was having a baby girl and the pair of them had decided on naming her Laura. Abby had become so protective over Kate in the months she'd been pregnant. It hadn't been a smooth ride exactly but the two of them got through it and were always there for each other no matter what. These 8 months had flown by fast and it didn't seem like five minutes since they found out that Kate was having a baby.
Kate woke up with a groan then and Abby helped her to sit up, "Braxton Hicks again." She mumbled, sleepily curling into Abby. She was ready for this to be over, their house was ready and the nursery was set up. Gibbs had made a crib for the new baby and the two women were in love with it, the white painted wood had Laura's name carved into it and it also had rockers so they'd be able to rock her to sleep if they needed too.
Kate then gasped, she felt warmth between her legs, "Oh my god..." She glanced at Abby, "My waters just broke."
