Once the plane landed, they got a van to rent for the time they were there. Abby, who had made the hotel reservations, drove them to the hotel as the night was still in progress. When they got there they dispersed to their rooms. Gibbs and Madeline went to one room, Ducky and Assaf in another, and Abby and McGee in the third room.

"What's wrong?" Madeline laid down on the bed, facing Jethro.

"You always think there is something wrong."

"I'm trusting my gut."

"I should've known." He sighed and ran a hand through his silver hair.

"We've been through this already…" Moving closer to him, she placed her hand on his cheek. "You couldn't have known."

"For as much trouble as you get into you always seem to talk your way out of things and out of me being upset."

"That's because you care for me,"

"I do,"

"But not for much longer." She smirked.

"Why?"

"Because soon I will be the size of a whale and you won't want to be seen with me."

"You're too skinny now anyways." He made her smile and it comforted him.

"You say that now." She shook her head.

"There have already been some positives to this pregnancy." He whispered close to her ear before he kissed her neck.

"A larger stomach?" Closing her eyes, she felt his hand slip underneath her shirt.

"Nope," He rolled so that he was over top of her, leaning down to kiss her.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down against her. In one quick movement she rolled him so that she was on top. He smiled and chuckled as she pouted. She hit her wrist on the head board when she tried to pinned his hands above his head. Rubbing her wrist, she watched as he took her wrist and kissed it before pulling her body against his.

"I don't want you doing this Abby," McGee shook his head as he paced the bedroom.

"Tim, its late, please come to bed so I can sleep." Abby sighed.

"Why are you doing this? You should stay here where it is safe." He removed his jacket and button up so he was in his white t-shirt and pants.

"Madeline is pregnant." Abby threw a pillow at him. "I'm trying to protect her and my god child."

"Really? With…"

"With a child?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"With…"

"With Gibbs' child." Standing up she walked over to him as he turned to face her.

"Do you ever think about children…I mean having your own?" He lowered his voice.

"Yes, I mean someday I wish to have kids. Why?"

"What are you waiting for?" He continued to ask questions, she didn't understand where they were coming from.

"Stability? The usual,"

"What are we Abby?" He asked.

"What?" She gave him a confused look. "What do you mean what are we? Are you trying to propose to me or something because this is not how you do it."

"No! I mean…is that what you want? Do you want me to propose?"

"No," She shook her head. "I mean I don't know, I can't think about this right now."

What are we though? Are we friends or more?"

"I don't understand what you are trying to get at."

"I mean we are together and then we are not. It's like I am your rebound guy or when you are bored."

"That's not true," He started to go through their relationship before she put a finger to his lips.

"I'm afraid of commitment." She raised her voice trying to speak over him.

"What?"

"Every time I get into a relationship it gets to be messy and he either tries to kill me or my heart gets broken." Turning around, she didn't want to face him.

"You know I would never hurt you." He put his arms around her.

"I know that… I know that rationally," She rested her head back against his chest.

"Then what's the problem?"

"I'm just not ready to be back into a full relationship. I love you Tim, but I need my time to come around. I consider you my…boyfriend…"

"But that's what I mean," He kissed her forehead as he turned her around. "That's all I wanted to know."

"Now will you come to bed?" She snuggled against him as he held her against him.

"Yeah," He whispered.

"Jethro," Madeline said as she caught her breath. Her back was pressed against his chest. Their bodies were slicked with sweat as they lay beneath the blanket.

"Hmm?" He opened his eyes as she looked back at him.

"How bad does the back of my head look?" He laughed before kissing the back of her head.

"Out of all the things to ask me and you ask me that?"

"Well I know it was good for you," She grinned.

"You're starting to sound like DiNozzo." He pulled her closer. "You should get some rest."

"Only if you are." She closed her eyes and rested against him, she could feel his chest rising and falling against her.

"Goodnight," They fell asleep to the sound of their breathing.

When Madeline woke up the next morning, she went straight to the bathroom. Getting undressed, she turned on the shower to allow it to warm up for a moment before she would get in. She looked at herself in the mirror, not out of vanity, but just to see the changes that were occurring. Now, more than ever, she wished her mother was still alive. It was a wish that would never come true.

Turning around, she stepped into the shower only to find Jethro already in. Shaking her head, she scooted him back so she could get underneath the cascading water. He slid his hands onto her hips and started to sway her body against his.

"I think the shower is not the appropriate place to be dancing." She laughed.

"Where is?"

"A dance floor," Turning to face him she went to kiss him when she heard a pounding on their hotel door.

"Where are you going?" He tried to stop her as she got out of the shower and grabbed a towel.

"Someone is at the door." She raced into the room to grab her gun.

"Madeline, don't!" He tried to get out quickly, but ended up slipping.

She got to the door sooner than he expected. Unlocking her gun, she opened the door. Lowering the gun, she stood there in shock. Tony was standing there, battered and bloodied. Even though his exterior looked like hell he had a smile on his face.

"I always wanted to see Kate open the door like this." He chuckled but stopped as he saw Gibbs step behind her with a robe on. "Oh sorry boss, didn't mean to interrupt the honeymoon."

"DiNozzo?" He looked startled.

"Can I sit down?" Tony didn't wait for an answer, but instead stumbled into the room and fell onto the bed.

Grabbing clothing, Madeline went into the bathroom and changed into a pair of black shorts and a black t-shirt. When she came back out she found DiNozzo still lying on the bed. Gibbs had gone next door to get Ducky.

"Where is Ziva?" She grabbed a wet cloth and sat down next to him as she tried to clean off his face.

"I don't know." He sighed. "I got in and got out."

"Tony, I know you better than that. What aren't you telling me?"

"It's the truth. They just tossed me out. I woke up one morning outside."

"Did they follow you?" She asked.

"Not that I know of, although at this rate I don't know a lot."

"Well anyone could have told us that." She joked. "How's your head?"

"Still attached?" Ducky walked into the room with his small medical bag. "You do know I tend to work on the dead right?"

"I might as well be, I failed." Tony looked to the floor as Ducky sat down next to him.

"Failed what?" Gibbs walked into the room.

"Failed to save her, failed her." Tony replied.

"You didn't fail. You are trying again." Gibbs urged.

"Boss, there's no way." McGee walked into the room. "Tony can't go back out there. They will kill him."

"Tony!" Abby ran in and jumped on him, giving him a hug.
"Hi Abby," He gasped as he winced.

"How did you get back?" She got off of him. "Where's Ziva?"

"They must still have her." Madeline sighed. "We will find another way in."

"She's dead." Tony muttered. "And it's all because of me."

"Tony that's no way to talk." Abby scolded him.

"Where's Assaf?" Madeline walked into the room next door to find it empty.

"He went to get coffee." Ducky answered. "He's a rather nice fellow."

"Assaf doesn't drink coffee." Madeline murmured under her breath, finding it strange.

There was another knock on the door. They looked over to the door to the room and realized it was coming from Ducky's room door.

"It must be Assaf. He must be locked out." McGee shrugged as he turned and walked into the other room.

Walking over to the next room, McGee unholstered his gun just in case. When he went to the door the knocking stopped. He opened the door to find it was a person from the front desk. The man stood and held out a letter in his hand. McGee tried to ask him who it was for but the man shook his head and said 'no english'.

Looking at the letter, McGee flipped it over to see it had nothing written on the outside. Opening it up, he crumbled after reading it. 'Goodbye'. The word written on the letter made McGee's blood go cold as he ran into the other room. He ran straight for Abby as he yelled for everyone to get out or get on the ground.

"McGee?" Gibbs barely got the word out as they heard the first explosion.

"Everyone on the ground!" Madeline yelled as she watched McGee pull Abby onto the ground before covering her. It was too late for them to run or get out. The best they could do was take cover as the second explosion hit the middle of the hotel instead of the end like the first one had.

Madeline's first thought was for Ducky, but Tony was protecting him. Standing up, she turned around to see Jethro reaching out for her. The third explosion hit a few floors below where they were.

That's all it would take. The last explosion caused the hotel to crumble with them in it like a house of cards. Madeline felt the ground give out beneath her as she fell to the ground. She felt a body cover hers as she closed her eyes and covered her head. There was a loud screeching sound of metal bending and screams of other innocent victims. It only took a few minutes for the walls and ceiling to come crashing down around them. Eventually everything quieted except for the sound of an ambulance in the distance and people screaming on the streets.

Opening her eyes, she felt pain seer through her body. Pushing herself to move, she looked to the side of her to see Jethro lying there. He had half of his body shielding her, but during the explosion he got tossed aside. There he was, his body sprawled out, his blue eyes staring at her. He wasn't moving, wasn't breathing, just staring.

"Jethro," She whispered as she pushed a wooden beam off of her as she inched towards him. "Wake up baby!" She shook him as he took a ragged breath.

"Madeline," His voice was hoarse and his breathing labored. "The baby,"

Looking down, she saw a large gash across her mid section. Panic washed over her as she tried to stop the bleeding. Looking around, she reached for a towel but when she moved it away she saw Tony. He was still. Moving over to him, she felt for a pulse but there was none. Her eyes scanned over the rubble. Where were the others?

Like a nightmare it hit her. The death surrounded her. Abby and Tim were lying slumped up against what was left of the wall. Neither of them was moving and there were large cuts all over their bodies from the glass. Ducky had been thrown into the door way of the bathroom and his body now laid underneath a large marble chunk of the bathroom.

Their eyes all stared at her as if they had asked for her help and were let down. A wave of guilt washed over her as she tried to administer cpr to Tony. He responded after a few seconds, she felt a weak pulse. She tried to stand up but the pain was unbearable. Falling down to her knees, she fell to Jethro's side. His hand grabbed her arm as if to warn her of something.

She reached for her gun as she heard footsteps approach. As she grasped it someone backhanded her. Tears flooded her eyes as she held firm to the gun. It wasn't until she was hit in the stomach that she released the gun and screamed. The pain was worse than anything she had ever felt before. A hand grabbed a handful of her hair and yanked her head back so she was looking up; up at him.

"I should have known," She sobbed as her hand went to her stomach.

"You are nothing but a foolish girl too caught up by emotion to see the truth," He sneered.

"Why? Why did you do this?" She tried to stall for time until police and an ambulance got there.

"For my country," He smiled as he looked at her gun that he held in his hand.

As he looked down at it he saw Gibbs attempt to move. Chuckling to himself, he released Madeline's hair and kicked Gibbs' in the side.

"Here I thought I would only have to kill one of you." He cocked the gun.

"NO!" Madeline laid herself over Gibbs as Gibbs tried to push her off of him. "Kill me – spare him. That's all I request. You have done your job now let the Americans look wounded. Let them hear about it from him so they know how serious your threat is." She looked up at him.

"You think wrong," He shook his head. "It's a shame that this must come to an end. You two were very sweet together. I heard no one could break his ice heart until now." He spit on Jethro.

"Go to hell." Gibbs whispered.

"You never were as smart as my brother gave you credit for." He put the gun to her head. "But you were beautiful, just like your mother."

"I love you Leroy Jethro Gibbs." She whispered as tears rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes locked with Jethro's she heard the gun cock.

"I love you too Madeline Todd," He whispered back as his hand slipped into hers.

"Goodbye Madeline." The man standing behind her stated before everything went black.

Stay tuned... what will happen? Who was the man? What really happened? I will post again hopefully soon.
