Tony rushed across the room to his fiance and kissed her full on the lips. Gibbs looked away from this. When they were done reacquainting themselves with each other, Tony said, "Don't ever do that again, baby. You scared the hell out of me. The baby will be fine. I know it."

She nodded, tears shining in her eyes, "Well, don't you ever do that to me again either!"

Tony took that as fighting with Gibbs and nodded.

"It'll all be fine, Jen," Gibbs said.

She was startled to hear his voice, and glanced up into his eyes. The answer was there, plain to see. Somehow, in all of this, they'd gotten their blessing. He smiled at her and she smiled back, squeezing Tony's had. They chatted for a bit, and then the nurse came in with a sonogram for the ultrasound. Everyone but Tony was ushered out.

Abby paced the hallway outside Jenny's room. She stopped when Jenny shrieked. It wasn't clear whether it was out of joy or anguish. She rounded on the others, sat on chairs lining the corridor, fear in her eyes. She whirled about again when the door to the room opened. Tony came out, his face somber.

Then it broke into a grin, "We're having a little girl!"

Abby launched herself at him, and it somehow turned into a group hug, Gibbs unvoluntarily trapped by the others.

The nurse at the station could only think what a close group of people this was.

The End :)

Thanks for sticking with me. R+R.
