Chapter 4 is up! Like I said, this chapter is more inviting people, and more planning the wedding, and more Gibbs/Abby fluff! Enjoy!
PS: I found out Abby's brother's name is Luka, so instead of Mark it's not Luka Sciuto, married to Jessica Sciuto with Lee Sciuto as Abby's niece.
"You know, we really need to pick a date, Gibbs," Abby called from the kitchen, where she was making dinner.
"Well, when would you like the wedding to be, Abby?" He countered, sitting at the table with his coffee, watching her cook.
Abby shot him a look over her shoulder, and then turned back to the stove, saying, "Um, maybe sometime in December? January? Which one would you prefer?"
"December sounds good. What about a date?" Gibbs replied, picking up the latest book he was reading.
She blew out a breath, and turned around, tilting her head to the side and saying, "The 4th? It's a Saturday, I'm pretty sure,"
"Perfect." Gibbs agreed, looking up at her with his glasses on. She grinned at him, holding a plate of pancakes.
"Dinner is served," She announced, and Gibbs gave her a weird look. "What?"
"Pancakes for breakfast?"
"You've never had breakfast for dinner before?" Abby said in surprise, and Gibbs shook his head. "You don't know what you've been missing. I'll get the syrup," She turned back to the cupboards and pulled her phone out.
"Who're you calling?" Gibbs inquired as he pulled a few pancakes onto his plate.
"Your dad," Abby replied, and then put the phone to her ear, sitting down, putting the syrup in front of Gibbs' plate and leaning back. When Jackson answered, she piped, "Hey Jack!"
"Well, hello there Abby!" Jack replied, and Abby grinned.
"Me and Gibbs picked a date,"
"You're gonna have to start calling him Jethro, Abby," Jack admonished, and Abby shrugged, replying,
"Working on it, Jack. Until then, the wedding's going to be in a few months, on December 4th,"
"All righty, then I'll be coming up around November 19th or 20th, okay?"
"Sounds great, Jack. I gotta go; gotta call my brother and tons more people."
"Well, all right, but promise me, call me later," He said sternly, and Abby laughed.
"Yes sir, I promise." Abby replied, and then hung up. Gibbs watched as she dialed another number and put the phone back to her ear. When someone picked up, Abby said happily,
"Hey Luka!"
"Abby!" Luka exclaimed, and then said, "How's everything up in our nation's capital?"
"Pretty good, pretty good, how's Jessica and my little girl?"
"Jess is fine, she says hello, and Lee misses her Aunt Abby,"
"Aw, I miss that little one too. So I've got a surprise for you,"
"What now?" Luka said hesitantly, and Abby laughed.
"I'm getting married!" She exclaimed, and Luka said enthusiastically,
"That's fantastic, Abby! It's Gibbs, isn't it?"
"Of course," She said, forking some pancakes into her mouth.
"Have the two of you set a date yet?"
"December 4th," Abby informed him, and Luka replied,
"Well we'll definitely be there." After a little more conversation, Abby and Luka said goodbye and hung up.
"How're the pancakes?" Abby asked Gibbs, and he smiled at her.
"Really good."
"So, am I calling Mike Franks or are you?"
"Oh, why don't you do it? He'll get a kick out of that,"
Abby dialed Mike's number and eventually she got a hold of him. "Yeah, whaddya want?" Mike barked, and Abby said sweetly,
"Hi Mike!"
"Well, hey there Abby, how's life with that ornery bastard?"
"Pretty good, Mike, considering he proposed to me," She said with a big smile. There was a bang and the smile slid off Abby's face. "Mike? You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay, I just dropped the damn phone,"
"Why'd you do that?" She asked in surprise, and he chuckled.
"Can't believe Probie finally got a move on. He treating you okay?"
"Yes, he is,"
"Good, 'cause if he ain't, tell him I'm gonna kick his ass,"
"I'll tell him," Abby said with a grin, looking over at Gibbs. He was watching her with the question written on his face as she told him when the wedding was and promised him, Amira and Layla an invitation.
When she hung up, Gibbs asked, "Tell me what?"
"That if you don't treat me okay, he's gonna kick your ass. His words, not mine," Abby said as she cleared the table. He brought the plates to her and leaned over, kissing her softly.
"I'd deserve it,"
She dumped the plates into the dishwasher and turned it on, wiping her hands clean. "How about a movie?" Abby asked, and Gibbs nodded. "While we look at my magazines…" She said cunningly, and Gibbs groaned. "It'll be fun!" She exclaimed, dragging him into the living room.
A few weeks later, Gibbs, Tony, McGee, Ducky and Palmer were going for the fitting of their suits while Abby went to start the hunt for her dress, and for the bridesmaid dresses for Kaytlin, Ziva and Jenny. They also had Lee's dress size in order to pick out her flower girl dress.
It took a few more weeks, but eventually Abby found the perfect dress. She made sure it was top secret and wouldn't let anyone see her in it besides Kaytlin, Ziva and Jenny. They had started placing their reservations at the church and at the restaurant where the reception would be held, and Abby and Gibbs had to seriously start thinking about decorations.
"Can't we just hire a wedding planner?" Gibbs complained one day as he went down to Abby's lab to take her home after work.
"This is more fun," Abby pouted, and Gibbs sighed, giving in.
"All right, fine. What do we have to decide on first?"
"The two wedding colors," Abby said excitedly, dragging him back to her office where she had a bunch of colors taped to the wall. "I've been moving them, trying to find the two perfect colors," She said, contemplating the wall.
"Well, what's your favorite color?"
"Besides black? Um…lavender…" Abby said, looking around the wall. Gibbs reached out and plucked the one he thought was lavender off the wall, and Abby stifled a laugh. "That's grape, not lavender," She said, reaching out and picking the one that was actually lavender out and handing it to him.
"Well hell," He said, taking the color. Gibbs scoured the wall and grabbed another color, holding it up for Abby to see. "How about these two?"
Abby looked at them both and exclaimed, "That's perfect! Lavender and chestnut, you're a genius Gibbs!" She kissed him enthusiastically and he smiled, taking the colors from her hand and setting them on her desk as he wrapped his arms around her.
Abby's back hit the wall and she kissed him back. After a few minutes, a voice was calling for them and Gibbs ignored the voice. The door to Abby's office slid open and Tony's shocked voice said, "Oh, uh, sorry, I'll just, uh, go," Gibbs pulled away from Abby and glanced at his senior field agent with a look that was angry enough to kill.
"There had better be a good reason for being down here, DiNozzo," Gibbs growled, and Tony looked flustered, glancing around and looking everywhere except at Gibbs and Abby.
"There was a dead Navy guy found right outside the Navy Yard, Jenny wants us at the crime scene. Sorry, Boss,"
Gibbs sighed, looking back at Abby with an apologetic expression. "It's okay, Jethro, go,"
"Since when do you call him Jethro?" Tony asked in confusion, and then fell silent as Gibbs leveled another glare at him.
"Sometimes it slips out," Abby said, smiling at Gibbs.
"DiNozzo, take Ziva and McGee and go to the crime scene, I'll be there soon," Gibbs ordered, and DiNozzo was glad to turn tail and run. "It just slips out, huh?" Gibbs said with a wry grin, turning back to Abby.
"Whenever we're not in a work mentality it slips out," She said with a smile, giving him one last memorable kiss before pushing him away. He smiled at her before walking away and grabbing his coat.
"I can't believe we got my wedding planned in about five months," Abby said with incredulity as they sat in the car, waiting for Jack's plane to come in. Gibbs took her hand and smiled, saying,
"Well, when you've got Ziva, Jenny and Kaytlin helping you, it's not that surprising,"
"Yeah, I suppose," Abby said, scouring the crowds for her future father-in-law.
"We're getting married in a month," Gibbs said with a smile on his face, and Abby glanced over at him.
"Cold feet Agent Gibbs?"
"Toasty warm, Abigail Sciuto," He teased, leaning over and kissing her. "You?"
"Nah, I'm ready to become Abby Gibbs," She said, smiling at the thought. Gibbs nodded with a grin and then a knock came at the window. Abby jerked her head around to see Jackson Gibbs standing there with a grin on his face.
"Dad!" Gibbs exclaimed, getting out of the car. "Where's your luggage?" He asked, and Jack pointed to the pile on the sidewalk. Abby got out of the car as Gibbs went to grab the suitcases.
"Jack!" Abby exclaimed, hugging him tightly.
"Sorry to interrupt," He said with a wry smile, and Abby shook her head.
"Not a problem,"
"So I hear all I have to do is make sure you two make it down the aisle," Jack joked as he climbed into the car.
"No worries, Jack," Abby said as she sent him a winning smile.
More Gibbs and Abby fluff, and this time I mixed in Tony interrupting them and then Jack. So the Gibbs/Abby wedding approaches! The next chapter will have Mike and his family showing up, along with Abby's family. What happens next? Who knows!
Thanks so much for reading, hope you enjoyed!
