AN: You had to know a Gabby one would come eventually. :)

Abby (To Gibbs): Thank you…

--

"I come bearing gifts…" Abby raced down his basement stairs and set the pastry box on his work bench.

Gibbs stopped his sanding and placed a swift kiss on her lips to greet her. "Hey."

"Hi…" She gestured towards the cake. "It's your favorite, chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting…"

He opened the box with a smile and noticed a large piece of it missing. "Abs…"

"Oh don't worry; you'll get the other third, when the third musketeer returns…"

He stifled a laugh as he reached his arms around her waist. "So, DiNozzo is the reason why I can't have my cake and eat it too?"

She nodded with a grin. "Mmm Hmm…well that and the whole 126 days thing. I still cant believe you let it go that long…"

He looked a bit guilty as he responded. "There is one thing I'm going to miss now that they're back…"

"What's that?"

"Not having to share your affections."

She placed her hands around his neck. "That's so sweet…"

"You know what else is sweet?" He came inches from her lips before turning away quickly. "My cake."

She punched him playfully before pulling out a couple plates. It wasn't long before each of them knew what the other was thinking. Seconds passed before the two were covered in cake and frosting from head to toe. Abby was particularly careful to not get any on Gibbs boat. After chasing each other around the hull for a couple minutes; Gibbs eventually got a hold of her near the stairs. "Gotchya!"

She didn't bother to struggle as she continued to swirl the icing around his face. "You got some frosting there on your face boss man…"

"I do?" He placed his lips on hers; in a hope to share the wealth. "What's mine is yours."

She had to smile when she'd realized how long it'd been since she'd seen him like this. "You know…"

He placed a soft finger on her lips. "Shhh, just let me enjoy this." He kissed her again; and gently lifted her into his arms and up the stairs.

"Boy, remind me to get you your favorite cake more often…"

He reached to turn off the lights with a smile. "The next time you do; it'll be whole."
