Chapter 10
Abby Sciuto was furious, never in her life had she felt so humiliated as when she was made to leave the Grand Hall with a security escort and forced to go to Donaldson's apartment within the mansion.
It was excepted practice within the pack that the female moved in with the male, as usually the size of the apartment would be a step up from what they would have previously had, but this wasn't the case with Abby, Donaldson's apartment wasn't even half the size of the one she had had.
Whilst Kort and Fornell positioned themselves as guards at Donaldson's door to ensure that Abby made no attempt to leave the moment they turned their backs, Tony, Kate, Ziva and Sacks had made to leave to go pack up her things and bring her stuff here of course Abby didn't like it, and ensured that the group was all too aware of that fact, but the look on Franks face as he arrived, put an end to any argument that was about to start.
Now even though it was the early hours of the morning, she was going through a couple of the boxes that had already been brought over, in the small lounge whilst Donaldson snored his head off in the bedroom, pleased to see that one of the boxes was her herbs and medicines box which she kept locked at all times. Smiling she opened the box, via the combination lock, as a new plan was already beginning to form, first she would get rid of her unwanted child, then she would deal with Donaldson before finally sorting out what she was going to do about Gibbs and his pathetic mate McGee.

Gibbs woke to the sunshine streaming into the room and lazy reached out for his mate only to find him not within arm's reach, sitting up slightly he located Tim laying on the far side of the bed curled up and instantly noticed the soft tremors going through his body
"Tim?" Gibbs questioned as he moved himself closer "How's your head?"
Just at that moment there was a knock on the door, ensuring he had his boxers on Gibbs got up and opened the door
"Morning Jethro, I thought I'd come and check on young Timothy" Ducky said as he walked in the room and over to Tim
"He's got a headache" Gibbs replied not giving away any details
Ducky notice the gingerly way in which Tim sat up and didn't like what he was seeing
"Oh may heavens how long has he been like this?" Ducky asked
"Not sure Duck, woke up to find him like it this morning, though he did mention a headache during the night" Gibb answered
"Jethro this is more than a simple headache, why wasn't I call then" Ducky stated as he started examining Tim, noting the way Tim was cradling his lower abdominal area
"Yeah, that's probably my fault Ducky" Gibbs reason
"No its not" Tim argued weakly, a look of guilt flashing across his gaunt face
"Tim I know you said not to call Ducky, but I should have done anyway" Gibbs explained
"Now Timothy, is this where it hurts the most hmm?" Ducky queried, as he place his hand lightly on the area Tim was cradling
Tim's free hand immediately flew to cover is mouth as he tried not to be sick. Both older men acted quickly helping his off the bed and into the bathroom. They just made it as far as the basin when Tim wasn't able to control his actions anymore and was violently sick.
"What on earth happen last night?!" Ducky demanded upon seeing the fresh bite marks on the back of Tim's neck, as he looked at Gibbs who stood in the door way between the rooms.
"Err Ducky?" Tim's queried his voice weak and full of concern, before Gibb could respond. Turning back to his patient Ducky noticed Tim, who was leaning heavily against the basin, was looking down towards his legs, watching as a trail of blood running down his left leg and Ducky immediately realised what was happening
"Right you! Out!" Ducky ordered as he physically shoved Gibbs out the way, quickly shutting the door in his face and locking it

With the sun began to rise, Abby crept into the bedroom where Donaldson was still sleeping, thankful that the room wasn't one to get the early morning sun. Her plan had changed slightly as she had decided to deal with him first. Contrary to what many believed female wolves' venom could make a male submissive if they were able to inject enough of the liquid.
Finding her latest pry still out for the count was exactly what Abby had hoped for, she had spent a short amount of time going through the cupboards in the kitchen and the closet, finding what she needed, she had worked quickly and carefully to tie the man up so he wouldn't be able to fit her. She took a moment to prepare before she straddle Donaldson, putting a pillow firmly over his head to muffle any screams and bite down hard.
As expected the man had woken instantly and tried his best to fit off the attack but it was too little too late and Abby's venom started to flood into his veins.

The bathroom door eventually re-opened as Ducky lead Tim out of the room and straight over to the bed. It was immediately obvious to Gibbs that his mate was upset, so from the other side of the bed he climbed into a position where he could lean back against the headboards and cradle Tim up against him.
As Ducky helped him onto the bed Tim, noticed his mate moved into a position where they could easily cuddle up, needing the comfort that an embrace would give him, Tim went willingly in Gibbs arms, believing that as soon as Gibbs found out what had transpired the support he needed would no longer be there.
"I'm sorry, I so sorry" Tim saying over and over, Gibbs just looked at Ducky completely confused by the turn of events, as he felt the moistness of Tim's tears on his chest. Gibbs didn't like to see his mate so upset.
"Timothy, I have already told you young man that this isn't your fault" Ducky reasoned, as he sat on the edge of the bed, before he answer Gibbs questioning gaze "Jethro, I'm afraid the pregnancy failed"
"Oh Tim" Gibbs stated softly cradling his mate even more, as the dam appeared to break from within and Tim wept openly. Tim couldn't believe it when Gibbs just pulled him closer, he had been so sure that his mate would be angered by the news, that the moment Gibbs embrace tighten Tim broke down and let the tears flow
"Why, Duck?" Gibbs questioned as he gently pulled Tim even closer to him
"There could be any number of reasons Jethro" Ducky answered cryptically "The fight with Donaldson may be a contributing factor, I'm sure having a wolf twice you size and around three times your weight on top of you, certainly wouldn't have helped"
"So why does Tim think this is his fault?" Gibbs questioned
"Maybe due to the same reason you chose to bit him again last night" Ducky retorted, the still healing bite marks where obvious, without holding back his obvious dislike of the action
"Ah hell, Ducky that wasn't Tim's fault" Gibbs replied
"Yes well I'm not sure our young man see's it that way" Ducky reasoned as he stood up "Besides it is not for me to question the pack Alpha, now is it"
"Ducky" Gibbs growled warningly
"Jethro whatever happened between the two of you last night is your business, not mine" Ducky said before he place his hand gently on Tim shoulder, ensuring he got the young man's attention "rest Timothy, I will be back shortly and we'll talk more then – just remember this isn't the end of the world, young man"
"Jethro I given Tim a mild sedative, it looks like its kicking in, so I will leave the two of you for now and come back in a couple of hours to check on you both"
"Okay, thanks Duck and I'm sorry" Gibb responded, to which Ducky just wave his hand dismissively
"Don't concerned yourself with me my friend, just look after our young man here, hmmm" Ducky replied just before he quietly slipped out the room

Tim awoke still in the embrace of his mate, laying there for a moment, not moving, as he fought his way back out of the sleep caused by the sedative, his head still a little foggy.
"Tim?" Gibbs questioned, putting down the book he was reading, as he realised his mate was awake once more, just as there was a light knock on the door before Ducky let himself back into the room
"How is our young man doing?" Ducky asked keeping his voice low
"Just woken up I believe" Gibbs replied waiting for clarification, which his mate gave him in a the form of a nod
"Ah good, now Jethro let me start by apologising to you" Ducky said, allowing Tim time to completely wake from the sedative induce sleep.
"No need Ducky, I know you don't like it when a male bites a female" Gibbs told him
"Yes, well there are exceptional circumstance when that act is necessary, but I really didn't see how it could have been the case between the two of you, but like I said really not any of my business" Ducky replied, but Gibbs proceed to inform Ducky of what had transpired, having decided that it was best not to keep any secrets that could impede on his mates health and recovery, once he finished they were all silent for a long moment
"I see, well, I can understand you being frustrated Jethro" Ducky reasoned "However, I would have thought you would have remembered that a human, born with an inner wolf, or not, has little or no control over the wolf in the first few weeks, heck some of us take years to gain the sort of control Tim has managed to show in such a short time. With Tim being a True Omega his wolf will have more control over him when it comes down to wanting to please you"
"I know Ducky, I'm an idiot I was just so wound up by the earlier events that I didn't take time to think and I let my own wolf get the better of me"
"It wasn't your fault" Tim insisted softly, Gibbs looked down at his mate before kissing him softly on the forehead
"Yes it was, I'm far more experienced at this than you and I should have taken some time to think about what was going on, because if I had, I would have realised what your female wolf was up to, which would have meant that I wouldn't have bitten you so hard and forced so much of my venom into you. God if you hadn't been born a wolf the amount I injected you with would have killed you twice over and that's probably what caused the pregnancy to fail" The guilt Gibbs was feeling clearly evident in his voice
"It didn't Jethro" Ducky reassured
"How can you be certain, it must have played a part surely?" Gibbs questioned
"No Jethro, from what Tim told me whilst we were in the bathroom, he, as in his human side, was already starting to feel unwell so I believe the pregnancy had already failed by then" Ducky informed
"Oh Tim" was Gibbs only response as he looked into the sorrowful eyes of his mate "I hurt you when you were at your most vulnerable"
"No" Tim responded "No you did what you thought was right, you didn't know, it's not your fault"
"Just like it isn't yours young man" Ducky stated "Now as far as anyone else is concerned they never need know that this even happened"
"Sorry, but I think it's going to be a little obvious in a few months when I don't get fat" Tim said confused
"Hey you won't be fat you'll be pregnant, there a difference" Gibbs playfully scolded
"Yeah, but I won't be either" Tim reminded his mate
"Actually, Timothy you will" Ducky informed
"What - how?" Gibbs queried as Tim just looked at Ducky in complete disbelief
"Easily Jethro, young Timothy is in season, just because the first pregnancy failed doesn't mean another one will, the two of you have a couple of weeks to get another successful mating established, though it would be better if it was sooner rather than later" Ducky advised with a smile
"I can get pregnant again that quickly?" Tim asked
"Yes Timothy, female wolves are usually restricted by their female human side which means there is only a few days each month when they can be in season, unlike them your female wolf has nothing stopping its ability to be in season for however long a normal female wolf would be in season, which from memory is about two to three weeks, and therefore you have the ability to get pregnant again very quickly"
"Oh" Tim stated simply, clearly shocked
"What are you suggesting Duck?" Gibbs queried even though he thought he knew
"I'm suggesting you give Tim a couple of days, before you try mating again, in the meantime there's nothing to stop you playing in human form, just go gently" Ducky said with a knowing smile as he continued to watch the way in which Gibbs ran his hand in a caressing manner up and down his mates arms, as Tim lay against him evidently enjoying the attention.
"You sure about this Duck?" Gibbs wanted to be sure and wanted to get things right
"Yes, Jethro, Timothy's wolf will let him know when she's ready and with what I've witness between you in the last couple of days, I won't be surprised if it's even sooner than I expect, you two were meant to be together – trust me when I tell you both that nothing has been lost by this, in actual fact I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't bond the two of you even closer as mates - after all we are in slightly uncharted waters dealing with a true Omega here. I will inform Vance that you're both taking a few personal days – a honeymoon of sorts"
"Thanks Duck" Gibbs said as he smile at the thought that all was not lost, recognising the easy dismissal Ducky smiled back and took his leave, as the pair sat silently digesting what they had been told, after a few minutes Gibbs broke the silence
"So what are you thinking?"
"That I'm lucky to have a mate like you" Tim replied
"Oh yeah and why's that?" Gibbs asked teasingly
"Because after what's happened and even with my wolf not being very communicative right now, I still feel loved and wanted"
"You got that right" Gibbs growled happily as he slid them both down the bed, easing Tim slightly under him in the process, before kissing him wantonly as his hands started their own exploring.
