DISCLAIMER: I own nothing
Gibbs felt as though he had been sitting there for years. Gibbs and Ducky were talking quietly in the corner, occasionally throwing Gibbs a worried look. He was a good deal more composed now, much more like the normal Gibbs. Finally, 7 hours after she had gone in the nurse told them that she and the baby were out of surgery, and both were doing well.
"The baby is still very weak," she told them, "You have to remember that she's 9 weeks premature" Gibbs nodded but couldn't help smiling, from all of the relief running through him.
"When can I see Abby," he asked, voicing the only thought circling his mind. Smiling the nurse ushered him into a room where a still unconscious Abby lay in the bed, with her dark hair fanned out on the pillow. Her face looked incomplete, as it was completely void of any make-up.
He sat by the side of her bed and took her hand in his and just looked at the woman that he adored, the mother of his daughter. He felt so proud of her, proud that she belonged to him, and no one else. He felt as though they were the only people that existed.
A hand on his shoulder brought him back from his thoughts.
"Come and see Jenny Jethro," said Ducky smiling. Gibbs willingly followed Ducky willingly, after planting a small kiss on Abby's head. Walking into the room he looked down into the bundle of blankets inside of the incubator. She was perfect. She was so little and yet she was all theirs now.
"She's perfect," he whispered under his breath, "just like her mother."

McGee walked into the the squad room and sat at his desk. He vaguely thought that it was a bit odd that Tony wasn't there but pushed it out of his mind. 10 minutes later the elevator door opened again. And Ziva walked in.
"Where is everyone," she asked, "Ducky and Abby aren't in and now it looks like Tony and Gibbs are not"
McGee looked up, confused. Abby and Ducky weren't in. Ziva took the answer she needed from his confused expression and picked up the receiver to call Tony. She spoke for a few minutes before replacing it and telling McGee to follow. McGee was bemused by this point, which he blindly obeyed without even asking where they were going.
Ziva led him to the car in total silence and he got in a strapped himself in not uttering a word. As soon as Ziva started the engine he regretted getting in the car. Ziva's driving only ever meant one thing, pain.

When Gibbs got back to Abby's side she was awake, but still not very aware of anything that was going on. He sat with her and stroked her hair, talking in a low quiet voice about Jenny and how much he loved her.
And then all of a sudden people began to come into the room. Ducky and Tony had evidently spent enough time with baby Jenny and decided to join them. A few minutes later came Ziva with a rather dishevelled McGee trailing behind.
Tony looked at Gibb's in unanimous agreement. It was clear that Ziva had driven. The only other thing that made McGee look like this was when Director Leon Vance caught him doing something we couldn't.
Abby finally fully awoke to the voices of her friends, and could not have asked for a better awakening.
