A/N: Chapter 10. I am done. I am finish. My first fan fiction story is done. The first of many. I remembered back before I started I always liked to read others fan fiction stories. Well after reading so many I decided to do one myself. And it would a great personal accomplishment for me cuz I'm really lazy and I usually suck at writing long essays and stuff for school. But this really made me excited so I did it. Just so I can say I did and so I can share my talents with others. I remembered I got my idea from a dream I had. It was short, real short but it gave me the basis of my story. Well now here's the last chapter of this story. I plan to write more stories. Although it'll probably be awhile before I write something as long as this. But I'll come up with some thing good again. Till then ill be writing either one-shots or just stories that are like 2 or 3 chapters long. Thanks to all those who read and reviewed. So enjoy…

Chapter Ten

Redemption and Love

McGee still felt tired when he slowly opened his eyes only to be blinded by a bright white light. He immediately started to feel a little sick like he had a bad hangover. His head felt like it was spinning. He closed his eyes hoping to feel better. He sniffed the air to smell a familiar scent. The strong scent that can only come from a hospital. Off in the distance he can hear the sounds of nurses and doctors doing their thing and the distinct but inaudible sound of the P.A. He looked at the small table next to him to see two flower vases. One of the vases was filled with lilies and black roses. At the base of the vase had a small folded card that read on the outside: to: McGee from: Abby and Ziva. The other had many different types of flowers, with a card at its base as well that read: to: McGee from: Ducky.

"Hey sleepy head…"

McGee turned his head to the other side to see Abby in her pajamas curled up on a chair, obviously waking up as well.

"…you're finally awake."

"Morning Abbs."

"More like evening, you been asleep for like 12:hours."

"What time is it?"

"About 5:35 pm. So do you need anything right now?"

"Is there any water or something?"

"Yeah," Abby said as she poured him a glass water from a pitcher that was on another small table in the corner of the room, "here you go"

"Thanks," said McGee as took the water from her, "Where's everyone else?"

"They at work right now. I said I would call them when you wake up. Everyone so worried."

"Are you allowed to leave the hospital?

"Not yet. I get out in a couple days."

"That's good."

"Yeah."

McGee took a sip of water from the glass. He never remembered it being so refreshing before in his life. That's when he noticed that Abby was wearing her heart pendant necklace around her neck.

"I hope your necklace isn't damage."

"It's ok. It avoided any damage."

"That's good."

McGee tried to sit up on the bed but he founded it a little difficult.

"You should really stay lying down," Abby said as she placed her hands on McGee to prevent him from getting up.

"I'm sorry Abby," McGee said as he laid down.

"For what," Abby asked as she sat down with her legs crossed on the chair.

"For not pulling you out of the way in time at motel."

"It wasn't your fault. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't alive right now."

"Still, I was just so devastated, I just lost it. I can barely remember what happened in the past couple days but I know it was pretty bad."

"It wasn't your fault. You were taking drugs without knowing it."

"I think I remember Gibbs saying something about the pills being drugs but I can barely remember. But I don't think it was completely the drugs that made me lose it."

"What do you mean?"

"Seeing you shot, something inside me snapped. I remember rushing into the motel after you were shot and just unleashing hell. I just killed every one in there trying to shoot Red, but deep down I also wanted till hurt anyone. I couldn't help it. And when I was done, I was happy. It felt almost good. I must sound crazy."

"You were angry and depressed. It could have happen to anyone."

"Maybe, but not like what happen to me. Especially when I was taking those pills. When I took them I felt powerful, and happy. Like nothing can hurt me. It felt really good. I just wanted to take more and keep that feeling. "

"That's what they were designed to do."

"Now I know what Ted Bundy was talking about."

"What do you mean?"

"Before he was executed, during an interview with some reporters, they asked him why he did it. One of the things he told them was 'To see them take there last breath of air. To look into there eyes. In that situation you are God.' When I had Red cornered when I tried to get information from Briggs and Drakes, I did feel powerful like God. I'm sorry if I'm scaring you."

"No that's ok. So you had like a Hulk complex."

McGee chuckled a little, which made Abby smile.

"Still you must hate me for doing all this."

"McGee," Abby said shocked as she grabbed his hand, " I could never hate you."

"I'm glad to hear that, but the things I've done. I should quit."

"Don't say that. You're an excellent agent."

"I'm horrible Abby. I'm a huge failure. I'm gonna turn in my badge and try to get my old job back."

"You saved Gibbs, you killed Red in a way that was lawful. You have incredible computer skills. If Gibbs didn't see potential in you he wouldn't have hired you."

"Thanks Abbs. So what's gonna happen to me then, job wise."

"Gibbs talked it over with the director. Pretty much you get to keep your job and everything. You won't be convicted or anything."

"But?"

"Well, you will be put on paid suspension till its decided when you can come back."

"That's it?"

"There might other things added but they shouldn't be that bad."

"Well, knowing Gibbs, he's probably gonna still have me help on cases from home."

Abby chuckled at his joke.

"You know Gibbs."

"Yeah. I'm surprised he hasn't walked in on us after making that joke."

"Well Gibbs not that psychic."

"Abby, there's something I want to tell you."

"What?"

"Well I wanted to tell you this for a long time but I just never had the courage to and after everything that has happen I realized that I might never get another chance to say it, so I want to tell you before its to late and-"

"What is it you wanna tell me?"

"I love you Abby."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I always loved you ever since the first time I saw you. But now I'm afraid that with everything that happen and me turning into an Edward Jekyll, I'm afraid you might not feel the same way and I understand if you don't, but I just had to say it because like I said I might not-"

McGee was interrupted when Abby got up, walked over to him while he was still talking and kissed him on the lips.

"I love you too Tim," Abby said when they broke off. But almost right away she kissed McGee again. The two continued kissing till they where out of breath in which took a break.

"I think maybe I'll wait a while before calling Gibbs."

"Perhaps this suspension won't be that bad. As long as I have you."

Abby smiled happily and kissed him again.
