(Chapter 8)
(Kate's POV)

I managed to get an appointment 20 minutes before Gibbs' appointment with the Director. So I've been sitting in this waiting room for about 35 minutes now. They're running behind. I've been looking around at all these women. Some are with husbands and some are not. And we're all in various stages and sizes. Having never been pregnant before I wish that Gibbs could be here with me, I'm kind of nervous.

Gibbs went to the office as soon as he dropped me off and I could tell when he got there, my phone has not stopped ringing, since what I image the time that Gibbs was sequestered in with the Director. Abby and Tony just don't know when to give up.

Oh man, this woman just came in, she looks like she's ready to pop and then some.

"Caitlin Todd?" I finally hear the nurse call my name. I can see her glance behind me to see if I had brought someone with me. It doesn't seem to bother her that I was alone. It's really starting to bother me though. I'm not saying that Gibbs wouldn't be here if he could be. I'm saying that I never thought that I'd be here alone the first time out. If I ever had a baby, I wanted to be married and go through the whole pregnancy thing with him.

"You can put the gown on and then a nurse will come in to draw some blood," the nurse states. I was so preoccupied that I missed her name.

I hear my phone vibrate again as I'm tying the flimsy paper. I thought that after the first 15 minutes when I didn't answer they would have given up. Damn, who the hell is calling? The last call went to voice mail, who ever is must just hung up and called right back. AGAIN! Ugh! I actually look this time, because I realize that who ever is trying is telling me it's important. Gibbs.

"Hey."

"Hi, you still there?" I can hear traffic wiz by as he speaks.

"Yeah, I just got called in. They were running behind."

"Great, I really want to be there. I know they probably won't do anything really important, but I want to be there from the beginning."

"Thank you." I tell him, as I feel a weigh being lifted. It's not as if I didn't already know that he wanted this baby, surprised as we were, but he really want to be involved.

"There's nothing to thank. This is my baby too and I want to be there for both of you."

"What did the Director say?" I ask as I wait for the nurse to come back into the room.

"We'll talk about that later. What room are you in?"

"You're here already?"

"Yeah, well if you would have answered your phone the first time we could have talked longer."

"I thought it was Abby or Tony calling. I have about 10 missing calls and who knows how many voice mails from the two."

"I know I snuck out of the office to see Tony leaving a message for you and as I was leaving I heard Abby and Tony talking about how you weren't home and that you weren't answering your phone." I hear Gibbs ask my name and then a voice as who he is. I suppose I could have just gone out to get him. He replies to the question that he's the father. Somewhere in the back of my mind hearing him tell someone else that, even if it is just the nurse, I'm telling myself that I am one luck woman to be with this man. Don't get me wrong I think Gibbs is one good-looking man, but I never saw myself in a relationship with him until we went undercover. Then I saw him as more than just my boss.

The door to the exam room slowly swings open and Gibbs sticks his head in. I was so lost in thought that I hadn't even realized that he hung up the phone.

"How you doing?" he asks as he enters.

"I'm good." The minute I see the look on his face I know that's not what I am exuding. "Ok, I'm a little nervous. This is a little different than other appointments I've had."

"Yeah." He says and I know that I don't need to elaborate.

"And I've never been even close to being in this situation. I've never lost track of my period like I did this time." I can feel the heat rise on my face as I realize what I just said. "I mean the most I've even been late was like a day. How did we get here? I'm mean, Oh my God, I'm having a baby. Oh my God, I'm having a baby and I have to tell my family. I HAVE to tell my mother that we're not getting married." I hear Gibbs say 'yet', but I run over it. "What are my parents going to say? My brothers never got one of their wives pregnant before they got married. MY sister never got pregnant before she was married."

(Gibbs' POV)

"My parents are very, and I'm saying VERY religious. They are going to yell. I may be 30 years old, but I'm going to get my ass kicked." She says as she paces back and forth in the tiny room in that stupid looking gown. I don't even think she's aware that she's not wearing any underwear.

"Kate, you need to relax." I don't even think she heard me say anything in her rant.

"Katie." I'm trying to be calm about what just happened, but I think that she's just winding herself up for another rant.

"Gibbs, what are we going to do? How am I going to tell my parents? And I don't want you to tell me that we should get married right now. If we're going to do this I want it to last a long time, forever. I can look past your ex-wives, but my family-" I stop her rant with a kiss.

I'm not sure how long we're kissing for, but I here someone clear their throat behind me.

WOW! We haven't - ever, like that. I don't think - even when we, ya know. I do know. That kiss was defiantly WOW.

"That sure was a nice kiss," the nurse says, "I don't think I've seen that kind of kiss in these rooms. Caitlin, you want to hop up on the table here and I'm going to draw some blood to verify and check some things out. And then the doctor will be here in a few minutes to start."

The nurse draws the blood in no time and leaves us alone again.

"How did things go with the Director?" she asks again after a few moments of silence.

"You're on desk duty. You're only allowed out in safe situations: talking to victims and maybe a few crimes scenes depending on the scene. After your maternity leave, you have to move to a different team." I give her a little time to take in what I just said. We both knew that, that's what was going to happen. "He wasn't too upset. We're not going to be reprimanded, but I think that he's going to be keeping a close eye on our interactions."

"I don't know what he's worried about. We're professionals; we wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our jobs or the team. And I'm fine with moving to another team. I knew I was going to have to. No sane boss would allow two people in a relationship work together or under each other in our case."

"Caitlin," the door opens again to reveal a doctor this time, "Mr. Todd." She acknowledges me.

"Jethro Gibbs," I correct.

"I'm sorry. I guess in my line of work you shouldn't assume that all your patients are married." I have a feeling that that little comment was taken poorly by Kate especially after her rant.

Yup, she's now sitting wide-eyed on the table.

"So, you think that you're pregnant?" We are going to find her a new doctor after this. I can't believe this doctor.

"I don't think, I know I am." Kate replies. I think that she likes this woman about as much as I do.

"What are your symptoms?"

"I'm two weeks late, I have light morning sickness, and my four," she holds up 4 fingers, "pregnancy tests came up positive."

"When was your last period?"

"It ended mid April. I don't have my day planner other wise I could be more precise."

"So you think you're about 10 weeks then?"

"Eight weeks." I say in a tone that will hopefully shut down her attitude.

"We count by last day of the period." The nice doctor informs me.

"We know when we had sex, it's eight weeks."

"Well, we'll see when the labs come back."

(Kate's POV)

I'm about ready to smack down this doctor. What the hell is her problem? She was recommended through my regular doctor. If I would be get charged for this visit or need to know how everything is I would get up and walk out.

"Caitlin, if you could lie back, we'll get started then."

I lie down on the exam table and place my feet in the stirrups. This is not a position I wanted to be in with Gibbs in the room just yet, but it was bound to happen sometime if he's going to be coming with me to all my appointments.

Gibbs and I are pretty quite while she starts the initial exam. She makes a 'hmm' as she lightly presses on my abdomen. Gibbs and I just share a look. It's been about 20 years since he's been through this and my never having been, we're not really sure what that means.

"Only 8 weeks?" She questions.

"Yes. It was Cinqo de Mayo. That was about 8 weeks ago." There's a look that passes over her face, as I say that, that I can't figure out what it means. I glance over at Gibbs to see how he's doing only to see that he looks that he gets when children are in trouble.

"Gibbs, it's ok. We can talk about it later." I whisper to him. He just nods in response and keeps watching the doctor.

"OK, well everything looks good. I think that you're farther along than you think, though." I've had enough.

"Hey, I'm sick of your attitude. I don't know how you managed to keep this place up and running with that attitude. I've been under cover for the better part of the last year and I know when the last time I has sex was. I know it was May 7th, so stop accusing us of lying. I couldn't tell you the time before last I had sex was, but if that was when I got pregnant I'd have been for the better part of two years. So can the high and mighty act, and do your job. Confirm that I am in fact pregnant, give me my vitamins, or tell which ones to take and then let me go on my way. If I wanted to be judged I would have told my family and my co-workers. Now do your damn job!" If looks could kill right now the doctor would be. Gibbs just gave her the 'Gibbs glare' during my whole schpel. I think she she's a little shell shocked now.

"OK, here's a bottle of prenatal vitamins," she says as she pulls a bottle from the cupboards. "We have to wait for your labs to come back to see if everything balances. You look healthy, so your baby should be healthy too. We won't do an ultra sound until about 12 weeks." Just as she says that the exam room door opens again and a nurse enters. She hands the doctor a few sheets of paper and the doctor reads over them. "I'd actually like to do an ultra sound now."

I think we've both gone from really pissed at her to terrified as soon as those words left her mouth.

"It's nothing bad, I just want to check something. Some of your levels are off. It's really nothing to be worried about."

(Gibb's POV)

Kate and I have been sitting here in silence since the doctor said that she wanted to do an ultra sound now. It's been five minutes and Kate's changed back into her jeans so that it'll be easier to do the sonogram. Where is that tech?

I don't want to say anything, because I'm worried that it will worry Kate.

"Can we go out to dinner tonight?" she asks suddenly.

"Sure if you want. Or would you rather rent a movie and come over and we can get take-out?"

"I really want something Italian. Lasagna, ravioli, something with a red sauce, I don't care. I'm just craving Italian."

"There's a little place over by Abby's that we can get take-out at. It's not that I don't want to take you out, it's just that we haven't been home in how long and I'd like to spend a night in."

"That's fine. I want to spend time with you, see where we can go," she says as she takes my hand in hers. "I'm nervous, what if something is really wrong?"

"It's probably nothing." I say to try and convince ourselves.

"Yeah, you're probably right." She's quite for a minute before mumbling something that sounds like I should have let Abby run the blood test. I'm sure that she could have run an ultrasound too all without worrying me.

"Katie, it's going to be fine."

"How do you know? You keep saying that it'll be fine, but how do you know?"

"My gut."

"And it's never been wrong?"

"'The Gibbs Gut' as you guys call it, and don't act like you didn't know I knew, has never failed me."

"Of course you knew. You know everything and no one has been able to figure out how you do it." She says with a smile.

"Sorry it took so long for me to come in, Ms. Todd." A young guy says as he rolls the sonogram machine in. "A lady with triplets wanted a bunch of pictures of each one individually and then together."

At least this guy is respectful. He gets the machine situated for only him to see the screen and then grabs the contact gel.

"If you could unbutton your pants and then tuck this in to your waist." He says as he passes her what could have been part of the gown she was wearing.

(Kate's POV)

I thought I was done with the paper gown crap, but no. Now I've got this square of paper rolled around the waist of my jeans and tucked in.

"The gel is going to be cold."

"It's fine, just do it," I tell him. I'm so nervous at this point the damn gel could burn and I would still just be worried about what was wrong.

"Damn, I didn't think it would be that cold. Where do you keep that the fridge?"

"I've worked in a couple of different clinics and it doesn't matter where it's stored. It's always really cold." He chuckles.

Gibbs' mood seems to have lighted as did mine.

"Let's see what we have here." He rolls the wand of the machine over my belly, but never really reacts to anything he sees, so I'm still nervous as to what's going on. "Ok, well I see something, but I want to verify it with the doctor. Don't worry, it's nothing bad." He says as he turns the monitor off and gives us a reassuring smile before leaving to look for the doctor.

Wow 3 chaps while a little over a week! I want reviews! And I love all those who sent then for the previous chappies!
