CHAPTER 10: GIBBS DISCOVERS THE SECRET...

ABBY'S P.O.V.

I walked back into my lab, just coming back from getting again.

I really hated this morning sickness.

"How's the morning sickness, Abbs?" Gibbs asked.

"I hate..." I began, and then looked at him in shock and he smiled.

"Tim's?" Gibbs asked.

"Ye-yes, how did you know?" I asked.

"I've noticed for a couple of weeks. How long did you think you were going to be able to keep it a secret?" Gibbs questioned.

"Hey, Abs..." Tim began as he walked in the lab and then saw Gibbs.

"Conference now, McGee!" Gibbs said and headed for the elevator.

THE ELEVATOR...

MCGEE'S P.O.V.

I followed Gibbs into the elevator and knew what was coming. We stepped into the elevator and he flipped the switch.

"Boss, I..." I started to say.

"What the hell were you thinking breaking rule 12?" Gibbs yelled.

"Boss, it just happened..." I began.

"I guess I knew this would happen eventually. Rule 51, McGee." Gibbs told me and I looked up confused.

"What's that?" I asked. "Sometimes you're wrong." He told me and I looked at him in surprise.

"Are you..." I started to ask.

"I knew there was something going on, since the day Abby called you and you told me she needed your help in the lab. You broke rule 12, McGee." Gibbs told me.

"I know, but..." McGee began.

"Something happened when you two were in Mexico, didn't it?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes..." Was all I could think to say.

"Just remember two things." Gibbs said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Never hurt her and rule 8." Gibbs said.

"Rule 8...never take anything for granted?" I said and Gibbs nodded flipping the switch.

"Go help, Abby. Just keep your relationship out of NCIS and I want you in the Squad room in half an hour." Gibbs told me and I stepped out of the elevator.

ABBY'S P.O.V.

I saw Tim follow Gibbs and knew that Tim was going to be chewed out for breaking rule 12.

I went into my office and sat down at my desk. The next thing I knew I felt the tears in my eyes.

What had I been thinking breaking rule 12? I loved Tim, but was it worth it to get both of us in trouble?

It had been my idea to break rule 12. I couldn't help it.

I had loved him for so many years and then we had to share a room at the Justice Department Guest quarters. There had also been one bed and I know I could have gone to sleep on my lab table.

I couldn't help teasing Tim when he asked me if I wanted to flip for the couch.

FLASHBACK *

"Got a bad feeling about this case." I had said.

"I have a bad feeling about this bed. You want to flip for the bed?" Tim had asked.

I couldn't help, but give him a smile.

"Come on, McGee. It's not like we haven't shared a bed together before." I had said.

"Well technically that was a coffin. I'm just letting you know if you and I sleep in this bed together, I am Quasimodo for a week." Tim told me. *

END FLASHBACK

I don't know what happened, maybe that it was sharing a room with him again.

After he had gone to bed, I had slipped in beside him. He grabbed my hand when I began to run it, when I had begun to run it up and down his arm.

He had repeated he had repeated what he had told me before and I told him I know, and then leaned over to kiss him.

I hadn't been able to resist and after a while longer, something had happened. I woke up early the next morning and noticed how handsome he looked in his sleep.

The rest of the time in Mexico after that had gone by fast and we didn't have a chance to talk about it until we got back.

At the time, I didn't regret a second of what had happened.

From sleeping with McGee in Mexico, to getting back together and now having a baby.

I didn't really think about how Gibbs would react to what Tim and I had done.

Now I was wondering if I had done the right thing getting back together with Tim and then I laughed still crying.

It was a little late to think about that now.

MCGEE'S P.O.V.

The elevator closed and I made my way back to Abby's lab.

I didn't see her and then after about a minute I found her in her office she was crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I didn't think, Tim." I told him.

"About what?" I asked and Abby glared at me.

"I didn't think about what we did in Mexico, before we did what we did. You were right about us breaking rule twelve." Abby said and began to cry harder.

"No, Abby you were right. Gibbs just told me another rule." I said wrapping my arms around her.

"Wh-what ru-rule?" She asked.

"Rule 51." I said.

"Wh..." She began.

"He said rule 51 is, 'sometimes you're wrong.' Abs, he guessed something had happened in Mexico and he said that he's known about us...since the day you called me down here." I told her and she pulled back giving me a smile.

I kissed her then and felt her kiss me back. I stopped her though, because I knew where things were headed.

"Tim..." She said as I pulled away.

"We can't, Abb. Not here. Gibbs wants us to keep it out of NCIS and he told me about ten minutes ago he wanted me back up in the squad room in half an hour. Come on; let's go get some work done." I said as I got up and grabbed her hand.

We walked into the lab and set to work side by side at our computers.

I noticed whenever she could she would drift my way and smiled at me, when I looked at her.

It seemed in no time that the twenty minute time limit Gibbs had set for me had arrived and I left Abby's lab, promising I would see her later.
