Chapter 25
Grabbing his keys and jacket, Tim stood up "Shall we go then Abs?" he asked, offering her a hand to get up. Abby nodded quickly, taking his hand and looking at her watch "It's ten to seven already! Let's go!" Tim smiled at his girlfriend, who was bouncing around as best she could. He couldn't really help but giggle at her.
Tim and Abby headed for the elevator and rode in thoughtful silence down to the parking garage. Tim looked thoughtful as he unlocked the car door "Hey Abby" he began thoughtfully "Mm..?" she replied, equally distracted by thought "Have you got any ideas for names for our baby girl?" he asked. Abby shrugged "Nope, not really… Have you?" Tim frowned slightly "Well not really…" Abby tilted her head in thought "Hmm…" she said aloud, thoughtfully remembering "Do you remember our last conversation about names for our baby Timmy?" she asked, carefully lowering herself into the car. Tim nodded silently as he started the engine "I don't want to name our child after someone from NCIS anymore" she announced firmly. Tim looked up at her, startled by this comment. Then he smiled at his girlfriend, remembering moments they had shared since they had been at NCIS, since they had started dating and in particular since they had gone a little further than that. "Timmy? Are you okay?" the concern in Abby's voice quickly brought Tim out of his drifting thoughts "Hmm?" he murmured "Oh… Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking, that's all" he smiled at Abby and she nodded, sharing a special moment with her boyfriend as they arrived home.
Tim led the way inside with Abby following a little more slowly, one hand protectively cradling her stomach "Time for some dinner Abby?" Tim asked his girlfriend softly, waiting for Abby to come in before he closed the door. He placed one hand on each of her shoulders and gently pulled her coat off, hanging it on the rack beside their front door. Shedding his own jacket, Tim hung it next to Abby's, put down his keys and quietly removed his gun and handcuffs from the holster at his hip. Putting them down carefully yet dismissively, he led his girlfriend into the kitchen to make the two of them dinner. Abby followed Tim into the kitchen, trying to think of names for their daughter as she did so.
Tim was busy bustling through cupboards, looking for ingredients for dinner "So, what would you like for dinner Abs?" he asked, standing and leaning over to kiss his girlfriend passionately. Abby shrugged, her green eyes sparkling playfully "I dunno. Miss un-named is kicking up a fuss over something though!" she added, taking Tim's hand and placing it on her swollen belly. Tim smiled, feeling their daughter kicking. "Well" he said, kissing Abby again and fiddling with her plaits "How does macaroni and cheese sound?" Abby nodded, smiling at Tim "Sounds good! And while you're cooking, I'll try to find some potential names for this little one!" Tim chuckled "Go ahead Abs" he agreed quietly, gazing at his girlfriend thoughtfully for several moments.
Wandering into the lounge, Abby picked up the laptop from its place on the bookshelf and headed back into the kitchen. Settling herself down, she switched it on and waited. "So" she began, typing crazily as she opened the web browser and found a website of names, origins and meanings "Give me a country of origin for a name, Timmy." she demanded, fingers poised over the keys. Tim shrugged "Uh… Spain?" he replied with an uncertain tone. Abby entered Spain into the search bar and began to scroll through the results. "Hmmm…" she murmured, thoughtfully scrolling slowly "Aldonza meaning sweet… No good. Alejandra… Angelica… What about Araceli, altar of the sky?" she asked, looking at Tim who shook his head "Mm… I don't like it much…" he called out.
Abby frowned, scrolling further "Okay… how about Herminia? … Actually no… I don't like that… Um… Juanita… Lupita… Manuela… Any of those sound nice to you Timmy? They all seem to end in 'a'…" she added in comment, frowning again. Tim strolled out from the kitchen into the lounge, carrying two steaming plates of macaroni and cheese "Come on Abby" he called over his shoulder "Come in here. I don't really like any of that list either" he added. Abby frowned, peering at the names on the laptop screen "I don't find any of these names particularly nice actually…" she decided "So" she continued "Give me another country of origin!" she called, bringing the laptop into the lounge and settling herself next to Tim on the couch. Tim chewed a mouthful of macaroni and cheese thoughtfully then shrugged as he swallowed "Um… Ireland?" he said, still uncertain. "Abby… Have some food and we'll carry on looking after dinner eh?" he said more firmly, wanting to take care of his very pregnant girlfriend and knowing they both had work fairly early the following morning. Abby pouted playfully at Tim but nodded. "Yeah okay… We're going to find a nice name!" she exclaimed determinedly. Tim chuckled again at his girlfriend "We sure will, Abby" he agreed quietly.

"Okay" Abby began, finishing the last mouthful of her dinner and picking up the laptop once again as she settled herself up against Tim "So, Irish names" she murmured a little tiredly, typing Ireland into the search bar of the baby names website she was using "Hmm…" Tim said as he read over Abby's shoulder "How about Aine, it means radiance? Or Eilish… Wait no, I don't like that… what do you think of Aine, Abs?" Abby shrugged "It's okay." She paused, yawning "Not my favourite though… Shall we look at… – " "Greek names?" Tim finished her sentence for her, gently easing the laptop out of Abby's grip. "Alexandra… Alkmene… Hey, there's Bethesda like the Hospital!" Abby giggled softly "Mm. Elene… Elissa… Kassandra… These aren't that interesting…" she said, reading over Tim's shoulder "Mm not so far, but let's keep going through them anyway eh?" Tim agreed. Abby nodded "Yeah alright. Carry on then" Tim smiled, turning the laptop so that Abby could see the screen a little easier. "Leto… Martha… Priska…" he wrinkled his nose and quietly sighed. Abby gave his shoulder a squeeze and laid her head against him "We'll find the perfect name for our baby girl sometime Timmy."
