Gibbs and Kate are driving to Santa Barbara. The past few days, they were able to see where Kate grew up, her old schools, shopped in Beverly Hills, Melrose and Santa Monica Promenade. Kate can no longer hide the bump and she made no effort to. She loves the feeling of being pregnant.
Looking out, she loved seeing the water with the sun almost setting. She didn't know how much she has missed home until now. It's funny how, after college, she couldn't wait to leave home but now she could only wish she could stay here with Gibbs forever. Her eyes began to tear up as she thought about the time she would have to leave Gibbs and their daughter.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Why are you crying?"
"Oh, I'm just really happy right now."
"Are you sure that's all?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. It's probably just the hormones, I'm getting all emotional."
"Are you hungry?'
"A little bit."
"We're not too far, babe. We're going to State Street. It's famous for restaurants, bookshops, coffee bars and nightclubs. Do you think little Katie is up for dancing tonight?" Gibbs joked.
"Wow, I never pegged you as a man who goes nightclubbing. I thought that would be more of Tony's style." Kate teased.
"You're right. I couldn't dance even if my life depended on it." Gibbs laughed.
"We've danced and you're not bad."
"That's because you led, my dear. So what do you and little Katie feel like eating?"
"I'd love to have fish but that's not healthy for little Katie. And the doctor strongly suggested that I don't eat seafood. Pick anything, I'll be fine with whatever restaurant you pick."
"How about some Mediterranean?"
"Oh, little Katie said it's fine with her."
After dinner, Gibbs and Kate checked into their hotel room. Kate said she's feeling tired, so turned in early.
The following day, Gibbs and Kate El Presidio de Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Historical Museum and capped the day off at the Stearns Wharf.
The following afternoon, they made their way to San Francisco. They had a 7 o'clock reservation at the Equinox, a restaurant that rotates 360 degrees and let's you have the view of the whole city.
Kate couldn't believe that she's in San Francisco having a romantic dinner with Gibbs. She'd only dream of this before but now, it's actually happening. As the restaurant revolved, she couldn't help but appreciate the city. There were other people there but it felt like it was just them two enjoying the view.
Gibbs and Kate went back to their hotel room and made love again that night until they fell asleep. Making love to each other only gets better for them each time. The love that they feel for each other overwhelms them and the desire to reach the peak of ecstasy heightens with every touch and every kiss.
