Chapter 8
Instantly Kate appeared in the room and looked frantically around in fear.
"I'll leave you two alone," Leo said as he walked to the door and left the room.
"Kate," McGee called out from behind her.
Kate turned around and immediately ran up to McGee hugging him.
"Tim," she exclaimed, "where am I? What is this place and how did we get here?"
"There's something I have to talk to you about. Lets sit down."
They both grabbed a chair and sat across from each other holding hands.
"I thought you were with Gibbs," Kate said, "How did you get here."
"You know that guy who left the room, well he watches over the time line and fixes any problems that arise in it via this room. He brought me here so I can try to fix everything that happens."
"What do you mean?"
"You see, originally you were killed by Ari,"
"I was?"
"Yes."
"Oh my God. Did you guys get that son of a bitch?"
"Yeah we did. But we all still missed you, especially Abby. A year later after you die, she calls me and asks me to come over because she says she needed someone to talk to. As I was going to her place I was brought here and told about this room and everything. That's when I took the opportunity and vowed I would bring you back and make Abby happy again."
"Well you succeeded, it seems."
"Not quite, you see since you didn't die, that messed up the timeline, and someone else had to die. The first time I went back in time I saved you but then Tony was killed, the second time it was Abby."
"Abby, how?"
"Well apparently, Ari was gonna try to kill the women first before going for Gibbs. After you died, Gibbs, Tony and Abby were down in the lab doing some work. Apparently Ari snuck into the compound and from the lab window shot at Abby. Luckily Tony was able to save her. But when I saved you and Tony, that apparently changed things because this time Tony wasn't in the lab."
"So what did you then?"
"Well I went back a third time but this time I figured the only way to end this is to kill Ari before he kills anyone. So I killed him and, well you already know the rest."
"But why are you back here? Something must have gone wrong."
"Well I forgot about Ziva and this time she died."
"Who's Ziva?"
"Ziva David, she's Ari's half sister. After you were killed she started to feel sorry for the team and felt that her brother was going to far by killing you and for trying to kill Abby, so she came to help us. She saved Gibbs's life when she killed her brother before he killed Gibbs. Afterwards she joined the team as a replacement and eventually she became a good friend to all of us and a valuable partner."
"So what are you gonna do now?"
"I don't know. I don't want anyone to be killed and I don't want to lose you. Especially now more than ever. Now that I love you, but I want you to be happy, I want Abby to be happy and it seems there's only one thing to do."
"Don't do it. I know what your planning and I don't want you to do it."
"But-"
"I said don't. Listen to me," Kate said as she grabbed McGee's face with both hands, "Don't get yourself killed. I may be gone but Abby needs you, as well as the team. I want all of you to be happy."
"But I love you. I don't want to lose you again."
"Listen to me. I love you too and I will always be with you, but you being dead won't help anybody. Abby loves you too and she was happy being with you. She always loved you and regrets ever breaking up with you and after being with you, I understand why she loves you so much. You're really sweet, and you're really smart. You're a great guy and the best boyfriend I ever had. Abby's my best friend and I want her to be happy and I know she will be with you. Do you understand?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now don't worry about me. So far you guys have been doing fine with out me. I will always be with you and watch over you and I will always love you no matter what, ok?
When McGee nodded, Kate smiled and kissed him as she continued holding his face. When their lips parted they hugged each other. Kate then grabbed both McGee's hand and kissed him again. That's when she noticed the image of McGee's daughter on the large monitor.
"Who's that," Kate asked.
"Believe it or not, that's going to be my daughter in the future," McGee answered.
"What's her name?"
"Caitlin McGee."
"I believe she named after me, right?"
"I believe she is."
"Who's her mother?"
"I don't know. Apparently I'm not suppose to know yet. I can't even know what her middle name stands for, which is A."
"Caitlin A. McGee. She's beautiful."
"I know. So beautiful you could have been her mother."
"That's sweet."
Kate looked at the image of little Caitlin. She could see McGee in her but she couldn't figure out who the other person was till slowly she saw it and smiled.
"Can you do me a favor Tim," Kate asked.
"Anything."
"Take good care of Abby."
"Of course."
"And when Caitlin is born, take god care of her too."
"I will," McGee answered oblivious to Kate's clue.
Kate smiled and excitedly kissed McGee as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"So you two love birds done in here," Leo said as he entered the room holding a can of Coka-Cola."
"Yeah I guess so," McGee said keeping her eyes on a smiling Kate.
"Good so can I send you guys home now," Leo asked.
"Yeah sure," McGee said disappointedly.
"Wait quick question, what's behind the door," Kate asked.
Even though she actually was a bit curious to know she mostly asked so she can spend as much time with McGee as she can before they have to leave.
"Yeah, what is behind the door," McGee asked figuring out Kate's plan.
Only the greatest secret in the whole universe," Leo told them, "You guys wanna see it?"
"Sure," they both answered.
"Well go ahead and walk through the door," Leo said.
McGee and Kate looked at each other for a moment, before grabbing each other's hands and walking to the door. McGee grabbed the handle and slowly turned it.
