A/N I updated a little later than usual. My apologies. To 'Dark but so Lovely' I love you.
He panicked slightly. She does remember him right? What if she doesn't. What if.. "Kate do you remember me?" Blink. Today was a good day, whoever said Friday the 13th was bad luck was an idiot. "I am going to let the doctor take a look at you. I'll be right here if you need me, ok?" Blink. He nodded. This was a very good day indeed. He should call Abby right? No, he'd wait. Maybe Kate didn't want that. He walked outside the room and sat onto a chair. He waited till the doctor was done with her. The doctor came out, told him he really shouldn't push it. She hasn't tried to talk in a long time, her brain might need to lay new connections. "But she will be able to talk again, ever right?" "Yes, she probably will. But I'm afraid I can't give you a time zone." That would just have to do. "But she can blink all she want?" "Yes, you can even try if she can right things down so it won't be a one-sided conversation." Gibbs shook his hand, thanked him and went back to Kate. "Hey, I'm back. You feeling ok?" Blink. "Good, You want to try to write something down? It's ok if you can't you've just woken up. But I figured, maybe you've got some questions?" Was that rambling? Was Gibbs rambling? Blink. He handed her his notebook and a pencil. She tried to write something down. At least she could hold the pencil. It didn't work out at first, but the longer she tried the better it became. It was starting to look like the handwriting of a 14 year old, well that was better than what she started with. She ripped one page of and threw it in the trash. Then she started to write again and handed it over to Gibbs. "How long have I been out." He read out loud. She nodded, she couldn't at first but her muscles were starting to relax a little. "Over two years, Kate. And I want you to know that we missed you very much. Do you remember anything from when you were out? People? Things that were said to you?" She tried to talk, but nothing but a grunt came out. So instead she shook her head. He handed her the notebook back. "Who visited me?" "That one is easy. Abby, Me, Tim and Tony. Ducky couldn't handle it." She nodded. "How many times did you come here?" He read out loud again. He looked towards his feet. "Two times a week." She shouted something, although it came out as a whisper he was pretty sure she was trying to shout. It sounded like she was repeating what he said. He handed her a glass of water. She tried again. "two imes a wee?" She coughed. "Don't force it." She raised her eyebrows. "Yes, two times a week. Tuesdays and Fridays." She nodded. "That's" Cough. "Often." He nodded. "You're part of my team Kate, always will be" She grabbed his hand. To show him how much that meant for her. "You sure don't remember anything I told when you were out?" "Nothing." Her voice was still very hoarse. "Ok, want the bullet?" She nodded. "The bastard who shot you, Ari, is dead." He waited to see if she would react in any way, she didn't. "He was killed by a new member of my team. Ziva, Ari was her brother. She had orders to kill him to win my trust." "Did it work?" He nodded. "But not because of that. She has proven herself many times. I trust her with my life. Oh yeah, Ziva and Tony are dating." Kate's eyes grew large at the mention of Tony and dating. "They are dating because he got her pregnant" She had to smile at that, of course he got her pregnant. "They really love each other. They had a baby a couple of hours ago. Just before you woke up. They named her Kaylee Kelly Dinozzo." "Kelly" Was all Kate said. "Yes, they didn't want to name their daughter Leroy or Jethro." She smiled. "Can you blame them." "Nope." "Oh and Kate." He continued when he was sure he got her attention. "Don't you ever, say what you said before you got shot. EVER again." She blushed and nodded. "I'm glad you're back. Do you want me to call anyone?" "My sister. And Abby." He nodded. "I'll go call your sister first, you want to talk to her?" She shook her head. "Your voice?" She nodded. "Ok, I'll go call them. You just rest, if I know Abby she'll be here real quick once I call her." She smiled and lay her head back.
"Dr Rachel Cranston speaking, how can I help you." Gibbs smiled, they had talked a lot since she visited to NCIS. "Rachel, Gibbs here. I've got to talk to you about Kate." Rachel kept silence for a little while. "Is she, did she die?" "No, she did not. She woke up." "Is this some kind of joke, cause it would be a really cruel one." "No it's not. She woke up a little while ago." Rachel could hear the smile in his voice. She already figured out that he was in love with her baby sister. She was sure Kate knew it as well by now. "I'm grabbing my passport and walking out the door as we speak. I'll be on the first plane to DC." "I'll be right here," They said goodbye and hung up.
"Hey boss-man, wattup?" Abby answered, Gibbs could hear a lot of noise in the background. She was either at a party or had really loud music on. "Kate woke up." He heard something that sounded like a glass breaking. "Abby? Are you ok?" "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I'm jumping in my car right now." The loud music was gone and he heard a engine. "bye abs." He hung to phone up and walked back to Kate's room.
She looked like she was sleeping so he let her –eventhough he wanted to wake her up to make sure she wasn't in a coma again-. Not long after he heard someone walking. That must be Abby. It wasn't long until he saw the goth in the door opening. She looked at Gibbs. Kate wasn't awake. "She has not woken up?" He stood up and walked towards her. "Yeah, she has. She was just sleeping, you probably woke her up though." They heard some faint sounds from the room. "Abby?" It was Kate. Abby ran towards Kate. "Oh Kate, I'm so happy you're awake!"
