A/N Sorry for the wait I was really sick! And about two months have passed in between chapters. In chapter nine she was twenty weeks or about four and a half months, which is the typical time to find out the sex of the child. In the intermission, everyone at NCIS learned the news and she is showing big time now! And sorry for the confusions!
"McGee! Would you hurry up?! I need those balloons here now! Tony isn't gonna be able to keep her at lunch forever!"
Abby was impatient to say the least. Planning a baby shower was hard enough, one without Renee noticing was rough and getting it ready while she was at lunch with only McGee and Ducky for help: Mission Impossible!
"Abigail dear, where do you want the gifts?" Abby pointed to a cleared table. At last she had everyone ready. She called Gibbs to have he and Ziva join them and covertly texted Tony to say everthing was ready.
Renee and Tony rode the elevator down to the lab in quiet. Tony did not need to say much for his baby sister to understand him. Keeping the shower a secret from her just about killed him. He let Renee step into the lab first, using the time tested ladies first excuse.
"Renee's eyes got wide as saucers when she stepped into the room. Blue and pink balloons abounded and gifts and food were everywhere.
"Abby... Guys... You didn't have to..."
"Of course we did my dear. You don't have to do it all alone. Not with the family that you have." Ducky stepped forward and placed a reassuring hand on Renee's shoulder.
"Open your gifts! I wanna see too!" Abby bounded forward and dragged the reluctant mother to be towards them. Tim kindly pulled out a chair for her to sit on. At six months, she was really starting to feel the effects of pregnancy. And her family modified itself to her.
She went through about half of the pink presents before starting on the blue and then switching back. Everything from diapers to clothing to strollers and an old fasshioned bassanet from Ducky. She didn't notice Tim's increasing nervousness as she opened them. Tony pulled the younger man out in the hall when he knew Renee wouldn't notice.
"You look like you're about to have a heart attack. What's up, McRomeo?"
"Umm..."
"Afraid she'll panic when she sees it? She loves you. I couldn't hope for a better man for my little sister."
"Thanks Tony."
"No prob. Now we better get back." Both men slip back into the lab and see that Renee is down to the last gift, one of Tony's that is conviently sitting on top of the last from Tim.
"Thanks for everything guys," Renee said with tears in her eyes.
"My darling girl, you are forgetting one," Ducky supplied helpfully. Renee's eyes fell upon the little velvet ring box. She looked at Tim questioningly before gingerly grabbing the box. Everyone watched with bated breath as she opened the box.
"Oh...Timmy.." If she was teary-eyed before, she was crying now. He stepped forward.
"But, Timmy... I'm pregnant. Are you sure? You deserve someone better." He took her in his arms as best he could.
"I love you Renee... Will you marry me?"
A/N Just a little motivation to keep you guys reading my stuff... And sorry again for the typo :(
