Okay. I FINALLY found more to write on. Might be a little rusty (it's been a while for me on the writing front) but I did my best. The parts that are in italics are a flashback to the night before, just so you know in advance. Thank you, each and every reader who has stuck with this, it is you folks who keep me going :)
Tim woke to the light tapping of rain on the window behind him with Abby's head pressed to his chest and her arm tossed over his stomach. He started to move her so he could stretch and she rolled over in her sleep. He found his shorts and shirt in the trail of cloths from the previous night, lazily putting each piece on before exiting the room. He saw Ziva at the bottom of the steps and fallowed her down, "So, I guess Abby and I weren't the only ones having fun last night?" He teased.
Abby sighed and let her head fall back on her pillow while Tim trailed kisses down her neck and collarbone. She smiled even though he couldn't see and toyed with the hairs at the nape of his neck.
"Timmy?" She asked, shaking his shoulder.
"You like it." She felt him smile as he kept working at her neck.
"You're right, I do but do you hear that?"
Tim sat up and could hear the softest of squeaking, like what their bed had been doing not long ago, "Nooo." He grinned getting out of the bed, stepping quickly into his boxers and opened the door causing the sound to grow louder.
Abby wrapped a sheet around herself and stood behind Tim at the doorway giggling, "About time." She said.
"I'll say. Think we can out squeak them?" He asked grinning widely at her.
"I know we can." She kissed his cheek and ran back for the bed.
"Think anyone heard anything?" Ziva ask Tony as they laid in the dark of the room. Tony had one arm tucked behind his head the other lightly tracing Ziva's skin. Ziva could feel every breath he took from the way her back was pressed flush to his chest.
Tony was too caught up in playing with a stray curl of Ziva's hair that it took him a moment to answer, "I can still faintly hear Abby and McGee going at it, I don't think they heard a thing."
"Good." He felt her let a sigh loose.
"Good?" He asked still playing with the curl.
She rolled to face him; "I just do not think I want to spring it on people."
"It?" He located another curl and twirled it around his finger.
"Us."
"We are an us?" He asked.
"Well, I do not know what we are. That's why I do not think people should know until we know."
Tony pressed a palm to her cheek and kissed her softly, "We can take our time figuring us out." He wrapped her up in his arms, "But I like us being an us."
Ziva sighed again, "I like us too."
"Tony swore you could not hear anything because you and Abby were too, um, busy doing things as well." Ziva spoke in hush tones while they walked to the kitchen.
"We took a break, Ziva." Tim laughed, "I'm feeling pancakes this morning. How about you?" He asked shaking the box of mix.
"Alright." She pulled out a chair at the bar while he got out everything he'd need, "Gibbs left already." She noted.
"How—" He started to ask but noticed her pointing to the empty coffee maker, "It was full last night, yes?"
"Yeah, Abby made a pot for him for when he'd wake up. Wonder where he went?"
"Fishing." Ziva told him.
"And how do you know that?"
"This note." She held up smiling. The paper just said 'Gone Fishing' in Gibbs scrawl-like handwriting.
"At least this means he isn't feeling too horrible after what happened last night."
"Maybe he does not remember what happened."
"Maybe, that could always be true. Wait, you don't really think he could be fishing do you?" McGee pointed to the rain soaked porch furniture outside.
"It is Gibbs. I do not think a little rain would stop him from anything."
McGee shrugged and continued to stir the pancake batter.
.:A Few Hours Before:.
Gibbs threw his tackle box in the back seat of the SUV as a yellow beetle bug pulled into the driveway.
"Excuse me, Leroy?" The women from the previous night asked as she stepped out of her car.
Gibbs chuckled a little, "Most people call me Gibbs, maybe Jethro but never Leroy. Now who are you?" He asked her and closed the SUV door. He felt like he knew her but he couldn't place where. Last night was a blur to him after his team managed to drag him out for the night, heck; he didn't even remember how he got home.
The women smiled and Gibbs couldn't deny how much she resembled his first wife, "I met you briefly last night at the club, my name is Anna Malone."
"Well, Ms. Malone, how can I help you?"
"You don't have your wallet on your by chance, do you?" She asked him.
Before going out fishing he planned to head to the club they had been at to see if anyone had found a wallet because he indeed did not have his, the women held out a black leather wallet, "You left it at the table you had been at, and your I.D. was in there along with the key to this address, which was how I found you. I would have just left it with the bartender but I really don't trust anyone that much. So, I figured I'd find you myself."
Gibbs smiled and accepted his wallet back, "Thank you."
"So, Special Agent? It's kind of hard to miss."
"Just a title."
"A pretty official one."
"My job isn't just one thing. Not something I can really explain outside in weather like this." He told her.
"Well, you could tell me about it over coffee. Do you like coffee?" Anna asked him.
"Yeah, I like coffee. I'll drive." He offered.
"Guys, whose car is that parked outside?" Abby asked coming down the stairs and entering the living room.
"Should just be ours." Tony said and stood from his spot next to Ziva to investigate.
"No, this one is yellow. Not one of ours!" Abby fallowed hot on his heals.
"She's right. Yellow bug. Do we know anyone with a yellow bug?"
Everyone shook their heads with firm no's.
"It has to be someone for Gibbs but no one is in the car so they must be together already. Didn't you guys say he was going fishing? Maybe someone went with him." Tony offered up as he went back in the living room.
"Well, since we won't know till he gets back anyways, how about we have day in? Anything outside is out due to rain but we could play board games, cards, watch movies." Abby threw the idea out.
"Movies, you know I'm in." Tony grinned.
Everyone took turned with the xbox controller and they each picked out a movie they all would watch through out the day, at least until Gibbs got back. Abby went and organized a plethora of snacks, Ziva got them all drinks, Tony acquired blankets and pillows while Tim moved the xbox upstairs so they would all have more room.
Tony made Ziva and him a nice little bed of pillows on the floor and Tim had pushed two sofas together for him and Abby. When the girls were finally situated, all snuggled up with blankets, Tony hit the lights and Tim pressed play on the first movie.
"You know this movie is going to be hard to watch." Ziva told Tony only loud enough for him to hear.
"And why is that?"
"Because who could he be out with!?"
I know it is kind of choppy but like I said, it's been a while. I wanted to give Gibbs some attention and make the team have to wait to find everything out. Thank you again for sticking with me through my absence. You all are fantastic! As always, let me know your thoughts please!
