"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow"

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night 'n' dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunlight
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

A young Kate ran through her front door, hands waving over her head, hips moving to a beat only she could hear. Throwing her bag next to the hall stand, she spun her way into the kitchen, her long brown hair wrapping itself around her with each turn.

"Well you're certainly in a good mood this afternoon."

Kate smiled as she pulled herself up onto the kitchen stool, her foot tapping the floor.

"I had a really good day today!"

"And why is that?" Kate's mother placed a bowl of fruit in front of her daughter. Kate shrugged as she took a bite of her apple.

"I don't know. I just fell really happy." Her mother smiled as Kate bobbed her head from side to side. Finishing her fruit Kate grabbed her bag and ran up the stairs two at a time. Shutting her bedroom door, she grabbed her favourite tape and put it in the player, music instantly filling her room. Laughing at herself, Kate pulled her hair off her face and into a loose pony before moving her hands in time with the music, her feet keeping the beat.

Today just wasn't my day
Everyone's getting me so fed up
I gotta find a way
I know what can make me feel better
Stepping out in my best
Looking hotter than ever
Wherever the party is
That's where I'll be in a second

"Come on Kate!"

Kate pulled her tank top down over the top of her way to short skirt. Looking at herself one last time in the mirror she joined her friend by the window.

"Do you think he will be there?" Kate asked her friend as she climbed out the window and carefully maneuvered her way down the tree.

"I don't know but if we don't hurry up we will never know!"

Kate held her friends hand as they pushed there way further into the club. The music was blaring and Kate felt her shoulders start to move. Laughing she pulled her friend to the front, right next to the speakers. Taking her friends other hand she raised them above their heads and began to shake her hips, her eyes closed and hair falling in her face. One song led to another then another and another, before Kate's friend pulled her out of the crowd. They held onto each other, laughing as the tried to find a vacant lounge.

"Are these seats taken?" Kate almost chocked at her friends forwardness. She had led them straight over to a booth with two very attractive guys.

"No, not at all." Smiling the two girls sat down. Kate couldn't help continue to shake her head to the music, an act that did not go unnoticed by the guy across from her.

"You like music?"

"I like to dance." He smirked at her.

"Why?" Kate sighed. She always hated playing 20 questions.

"Because it makes me feel happy. I dance when I'm happy. It's how I relax." He nodded and extended his hand to her.

"Dance with me?"

I'm so ready to move my body
Forget about all my problems
When I hear my song
I'm a lose control
(hee hee)
Right

"You did good Kate."

"He died Gibbs, how is that good?"

"You saved a little boys life."

"And he will now grow up without a father because one person made a stupid, stupid mistake."

"We all make mistakes Kate. It's part of being human." Kate stared into his eyes. She couldn't figure out why he was being so nice to her. She had royally screwed up but instead of threatening her with her job he was comforting her. She could feel tears building up behind her eyes and not wanting Gibbs to see her cry she grabbed her glass and made her way into the kitchen, breathing deep as she walked. She could hear him behind her but she didn't care. She rinsed the remaining wine out of her glass before placing it in the sink. The sky was a beautiful shade of dark blue. It was a full moon and the sky was alight with stars, twinkling from all corners. Kate felt Gibbs place his hand on her shoulder and she placed hers on top of it.

"It's such a beautiful night. We are so lucky to look up and see what we do and yet it is constantly taken for granted." It was then that Kate cracked and the tears flowed freely down her face. Gibbs spun her around and pulled her close to him, his arms wrapped warmly around her tiny frame. He began to sway back and forwards in a rhythmic movement. He continued to sway until he felt Kate go heavy against him. Brushing the hair away from her face he could see she was asleep. Lifting her, he slowly carried her to the lounge room and placed her on the couch. She looked so peaceful. Kissing her on the forehead he left her not noticing the slight strumming sound she was subconsciously making on the lounge.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night and dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunlight
Somebody please just hit the lights
All i wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Kate twirled out and was pulled back in by the guy of the month. Her hands in his, she smiled as they moved back and forth in perfect timing.

"You really are an amazing dancer Kate." Kate laughed and turned so her back was against him.

"You not to bad yourself." Kate let out a small moan as she felt her date's lips descent on the bare flesh of her neck.

"Wow Kate, you two are smoking hot!" Kate nodded as she sat back down next to Abby, taking a long sip of her drink.

"Where's bob?" Abby frowned

"Rob went to get drinks. Are you feeling ok Kate?"

"Yea fine."

She gave a believably smile and stared down into her drink. The truth was her mind was miles away, with a silver haired fox. She had been enjoying spending time with her current boyfriend and had been looking forward to going dancing with him tonight and then she had bumped into Gibbs on the way out of the ncis building. He has slowly looked her up and down and Kate saw the lust in his eyes before he was able to cover it up. He had asked if she had evening plans, in a voice that made her go weak at the knees. She had said she was going dancing with Abby. He once again gave her an appreciative look up and down. He had moved closer to her telling her she looked good. At this point she could feel his breath dancing across her face. Her eyes begged for him to close the space between then but he didn't. It was as if sudden realization of what he was about to do hit him and he pulled back quickly. With a husky 'Goodnight Katie' he was gone, leaving Kate feeling cold and confused.

"Kate do you want another drink?" Kate looked up to see Abby staring at her. She shook her head. She didn't want to drink, she wanted to forget and the way to do that was dance. Grabbing Abby's hand she pulled her friend out into the middle of the dance floor.

"Are you ok Kate?"

"I just don't feel like dancing with Alex at the moment." Abby nodded and together they began to dance. Kate closed her bowed her head, rocking to the music and in the darkness of the club she began to cry.

I'm loving the atmosphere
Feels like I'm floating in heaven
The music's all in my ear
Taking over me
My hearts racing
Feeling so Hollywood
How I got everybody staring
There eyes on the cameras
And I'm loving all the attention

Kate smiled into her fathers shoulder as he led her around the dance floor.

"I don't want to let you go Kat."

"I will always be your little girl daddy." He father chuckled. He slowly moved in circles around the floor.

"I just want you to be happy baby."

"I am dad. I'm so happy I'm scared it's not really, as if at any moment I'm going to wake up from an extremely detailed dream." Kate's father squeezed her hand.

"It's not a dream. It's very really."

"Then I'm happy daddy and I'm so lucky to be blessed with this life." She felt her father stop dancing and release her.

"You are." Kissing her forehead he turned to Kate's right and extended his hand. Kate smiled as she saw Gibbs shake it.

"She is all yours lad. Treasure her." Gibbs looked over at Kate, love evident in his eyes.

"I will."

"I love you daddy." Kate watched as her father made his way off the dance floor and to one of the wooden tables on the side.

"Shall we dance Mrs. Gibbs?"

"We shall."

Get up to move my body
Forget about all my problems
When I hear my song
I'm a lose control
(hee hee)
Right

"Which song shall we listen to today Claudiya?" The response she got was dada dada dada.

"Dad's not here right now baby. He is at work." Kate turned back to the CD rack and pulled a case out at random. Putting it on, she shimmied her way over to her daughter, pouting her lips as she went. Claudiya laughed and banged her bowl on the highchair table.

"Mummy does look a bit funny doesn't she? But that's ok, you don't care do you?" Tiring her hair up into a bun, Kate picked up the duster and moved around the room, stomping her feet as she went. She threw her head back and sung along as she dusted the room. In the corner of the room she could hear Claudiya squealing with delight at the show her mother was providing. Kate threw her hands above her hand and moved them back and forth, duster spinning around. Moving her head around was causing her hair to fall out of her bun. In a vain attempt to see she pushed it out of her face. She didn't care. She was happy to finally be able to dance like a child again without having to worry about people judging her. Looking over at her daughter she blew her a kiss.

"mamamamamama." Kate froze in her place, arms hanging by her side. She was right next to the music but she could have sworn she heard her daughter say-

"mamamamamama" Kate jumped up and down with joy. It was the first time Claudiya had said mama. Dropping the duster, Kate ran across the room and scooped her daughter up.

"Say it again baby, say it again!"

"mamamamamama" Claudiya screamed it out as if she knew the effect it was having on her mother. Kate held her tight, a huge smile plastered on her face. Placing her on her hip, Kate took one of her little hands and danced around the room with new found energy.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night and dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunlight
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Kate turned over the pancakes and turned back to Matthew, attempting to feed the toddler.

"Claudiya you are going to be later for school!"

"Chill out mum, I'm ready." Kate took one look at her daughter and rolled her eyes. Her long locks were pulled up in a high ponytail, her school uniform all disheveled and an iPod was hanging out of one of her ears.

"What?!"

"Nothing sweetie. Pancakes?" Claudiya nodded as she placed the other earpiece in and turned the music up. She began to sing along with the song, her leg bouncing on the chair leg. Kate was amazed at how she could eat her breakfast and manage to keep her head continually moving.

"Morning." Gibbs stopped in his tracks and frowned at his daughter.

"She is going through a music stage. It will pass soon." Gibbs stood behind Kate, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"It never passed for you."

"True." Kate kissed his neck.

"I think it will be good for her. Everybody needs something that makes them happy." Kate chuckled. Their moment was disturbed by a crash from behind them. They turned to see a wide eyed child staring at them, an empty area in front of her.

"Claud, where's you plate?" Claudiya shrugged her shoulders as she danced her way beneath the bench top, both Kate and Gibbs laughing.

Please DJ don't say it's the last call
'Cause I know what it means
And I don't want you to play no slow song
I'm still building it up to talk to that guy
Just give me another song and make it right

Gibbs lay on the bed, his hands sheltering his eyes from the light. He could hear Kate moving around in the bathroom and finally entering the bedroom. He was expecting her to come to bed so when he heard soft music coming from the corner of the room he was shocked. Opening his eyes he saw Kate standing in front of him wearing nothing but black lacy panties. Gibbs swallowed hard.

Kate loved the fact that still, after so many years of being together, she had the ability to make Gibbs speechless.

"Wow, you…..you….look….um….amazing." Kate gave him a sexy smile as she sauntered her way across the room, making sure her hips had a little extra swing to them. Gibbs eyed her suspiciously.

"What?" Kate stopped with a little bounce for his enjoyment, hands on her hips.

"Nothing." Kate cocked her eyebrow as she climbed onto Gibbs.

"If you say so. Now, what is it you want mister?"

I just wanna stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night and dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunlight
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Kate lay in Gibbs arms, their breath slowly evening out. Kate listened to the sounds of a silent house and experienced a feeling of contentment.

Looking up at Gibbs, she gave him a quick kiss.

"You know what, I think I love you." Gibbs raised his eyebrows and gave her a childish grin.

"Does that mean I get a discount?" Kate whacked his arm and tried to turn away from him in vain.

"No? Well in that case I think I love with you too." Gibbs said as he kissed her shoulder.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night and dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunlight
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow
