Abby awoke the next morning with one major headache and another lower part of her anatomy slightly sore. Stretching she rolled out of the bed and realized that she had slept later than she normally did. "Guess, I was literally worn out last night." Abby muttered to herself. She quickly grabbed her clothes from the bag that she kept stashed here in case she ever stayed over without going home first. Grabbing a short skirt and black t-shirt, she quickly dressed and headed downstairs, she was in some serious need of some caffeine, and knowing Gibbs as well as she did, she knew there was a fresh pot of extremely strong coffee in the kitchen. Abby peeped around the corner, trying to scope the exact location of Gibbs, she knew just how quietly he could maneuver around, he could always be wherever she was. Noticing that the kitchen was empty, she tiptoed into the kitchen, poured a cup of coffee and was trying to sneak out the door when she felt a breath on the back of her neck.

"Going somewhere Abs?" Gibbs spoke softly.

Damn, he was good. "Jesus, Gibbs give a girl a heart attack here, I need to put a bell around your neck to give me warning when you are around." Abby said as she quickly turned to put her backside away from him. "I….. was…..I….needed fresh air." Abby stammered as she knew that she was caught.

Gibbs gently grabbed her by the elbow, sat her at the table, and put a plate of pancakes in front of her. "Eat, we have a long day ahead." Gibbs remarked as he went to refill his cup of coffee. He had not slept much last night, he had been debating how to deal with his little one. It seemed that no matter what punishment he doled out, she was bound and determined to do her own thing. It was after much internal struggle, he remembered what Abby had once mentioned, when she was talking about her childhood.

Abby ate a few bites in silence, but then realized that she could not eat another bite, her stomach was all in knots and her heart was beating too fast. When Gibbs was this quiet it usually was not a good thing for her or her ass. "Listen, Gibbs, I understand that you are upset…"

"Upset…Understand? Obviously not Abigail or you would not have pulled such a juvenile stunt. I..I think you need to finish eating and get on back to your room. I want you to grab a piece of paper and pen and write what exactly you did that was wrong, and what in the hell ever compelled you to do it." Gibbs was starting to lose his temper again, so he decided that he needed to calm down and attempt to understand what was going through Abby's head.

Abby did not like to feel dismissed, so she crammed her mouth with a few bites of pancakes, took her plate to the sink and marched as loudly as she could upstairs to her room. Gibbs just headed downstairs to cool off and to give Abby some time to write the notes.

Abby entered the room, sat at the desk, grabbed the pen and paper and started writing. She was so involved in writing that she failed to notice that Gibbs had entered the room.

"AHEM!" Gibbs cleared his throat, getting Abby's attention.

"Oh, hi, just writing like you asked." Abby said as she looked up into Gibb's eyes, searching for any sign of leniency.

"Ok, shoot. Read me what you wrote." Gibbs said as he sat on the edge of her bed, facing the desk.

"Um,, well OK. First, I realize that I should never have used NCIS property, the key, for my own use. That was wrong to go their when they were closed. It was wrong. Second, I should never have enlisted Spencer into coming with me, now he is in deep trouble also. Third, I should not have broken your grounding. …But, Gibbs, in all honesty, I had to do this to save my sanity. I mean… I am a young lady in her prime, I can not be cooped up in house. I could lose my edge." Abby had hoped that Gibbs would see her acceptance of her errors and her argument as to why she did what she did.

"Ok, I hear what you are saying, so how do you think you should be punished?" Gibbs asked, knowing that he already had planned what he was going to do, but her wanted her opinion.

"Well, I have already been spanked twice, so I think that is sufficient for the lying…" Abby spoke, trying to suppress a grin, she thought she had Gibbs going along with her.

"Oh, no…Tim's was from him for attempting to bite him and disrespecting him, last night from me was just for misusing the key, the whole direct disobeying an punishment is a different one. You purposefully, deliberately and willfully disobeyed what I told you. Sometimes I think that if you can't feel the soreness of a spanking, then you forget that it is wrong. Well, I am going to fix that now. Here…stand up." Gibbs said as he watched her slowly walk over to him. She watched him reach into his pocket and open up his knife. He placed it in her hand and waited to see if she understood what he was telling her to do.

At first, Abby just stood there, knife in hand, not knowing what to do, but when Gibbs gave her a clue, she paled.

"I think you had mentioned at one time at just how effective your grandmother's punishments were, so I thought I would give it a try here." Gibbs said with a smirk.

"Oh…..NO….Please Gibbs, anything but this….I beg…..beggggg, please." Abby knew at that moment exactly what Gibbs had planned for her. He was telling her to go cut a switch.

"Oh, yes, Abby. As you once told me, one taste of your grandmother and her hickory switch on your backside, you thought twice before crossing her again. Well, I intend to make the same statement with you here. I don't know if I have a hickory tree, but I do know that I have plenty of good trees out there, so go, you have 30 seconds to cut one, strip it and get back here, starting now…" Gibbs said as he saw her just continue to stare at the knife. "Time is ticking…"

Abby ran out of the bedroom, down the stairs and out into the yard. She quickly found a reasonable branch, cut it off and started crying before she even had all the leaves off. She knew that this was going to be bad. She continued to cry all the way back to her room.

Gibbs saw that she was already crying, and knew that this just might be the punishment that made her think twice. "Why the tears already?" Gibbs asked.

"Oh, come on, have you ever been switched before?" Abby said with the most pitiful puppy eye look ever.

"Actually, yes I have and I can say that I never wanted to do anything to make my dad that angry again. That is the point of this Abby, to never have to do this again. So quit stalling and lay it on the table and lay over the bed." Gibbs did not want to drag this out, he dread doing this. He had thought of everything else, but kept coming back to this.

Abby pleaded. "Please, no….Gibbbs…dad…I can't…" Abby was desperate and was going to try anything to get out of this.

"Sorry, Abby, maybe after this you will think twice before you do another hair brained stunt like this….Over NOW" Gibbs said with force, the longer she drew this out the more difficult it would be for both of them.

Abby, quietly sobbing, laid over the end of her bed. She grabbed a pillow to bury her face in as she knew that she would not be able to keep quiet. Gibbs reached down and pulled up her skirt. " GIBBBS! NOOO!" Abby tried to use her hands and push her skirt back down.

"Hand in front Abby, I have to be sure I do not break any skin. I want this to be a punishment, not torture." Gibbs said as he raised the skirt again, stood to the side of her and laid down the first lick.

WSHP!

"OWWW!" Abby instantly jumped off the bed and grabbed her stinging ass.

"Back down, Abby. Not again, you move again before I am done and I will add on more, is that clear?" Gibb ordered. He knew that the sting was going to be bad, he never thought Abby would jump so fast though.

All Abby could do was nod her head, and resume the position.

WSHP!WSHP!WSHP! Gibbs laid three striped down her scantily clad backside. He could see that he was not breaking any skin, just leaving red welts.

"OOWWWW! ARGHH!AHHHHH!" Abby cried out. She had clearly forgotten just how painful these switchings were. It wasn't the kind of building fire that one gets when getting a spanking, this was an instant lash of liquid fire that was fast and furious.

WHSP!WHSP!WHSP!WHSP! Gibbs continued to progress from the top of her cheeks to the tops of her thighs.

"OWW!PLEASE!I'LLL BEE GOOOOODD!" Abby begged and promised. She knew that IF she survived this she would never do anything to warrant this again.

Gibbs finished up with two hard, fast licks to her thighs, which made Abby scream out again. Gibbs took the switch and laid it on the top of the desk, as a visual reminder to Abby. He pulled her up, but just the least contact from her skirt made the fire intensify again. He pulled her into his arms, and slowly stroked her hair, "SHHHH! All over, sweetie… Think you learned you lesson…" Gibbs asked as he leaned her back so that he could look in her eyes.

Abby's ass felt like she had a thousand bees stinging at one time on each of the licks. She knew that Gibbs had made his point and she knew that she never wanted to push him to this extreme again. She couldn't form a coherent word, all she could do was to nod her head yes.

Gibbs gently laid her on her tummy on the bed, and told her to nap. She turned her head away from him and the switch on the desk. He knew she was in pain now, but he also knew that she got the point and he hoped this was the last time he ever had to use that switch again. "Yeah, like that is likely." He muttered to himself with a slight laugh. He knew that with this family, someone else along the way will be serviced by that switch again. Family.
