Tim walked into the bullpen the next morning looking very happy. Tony gave him an odd look before a smile spread across his face, making Tim wonder what he was up to.
Tim noticed the new agent wasn't at her desk. "So where's the new girl?" he asked Tony.
"She requested a transfer," responded Gibbs as he walked past Tim. "Can't imagine why."
Tim figured that was the reason Tony was smiling so much.
"Hey boss," Tim said as he went to his own desk. Gibbs gave him a look which really made him wonder what was going on.
"So?" Gibbs asked.
"You will both be happy to know that we picked a date. April fifteenth. Abby and I want to take you two and Ducky to lunch to discuss some details. Okay with you two?"
"Oh, so you two actually talked last night?" Tony asked, wagging his eyebrows.
"What does that mean?" Tim asked giving Tony a strange look.
"Nothing. You should have worn a different shirt today though."
Tim looked puzzled.
Gibbs started laughing. "What DiNozzo is so subtlety trying to say is your shirt collar doesn't cover up the huge hickey on the side of your neck."
Tim felt his face blush as Gibbs and Tony laughed. They both spent the rest of the morning teasing Tim about it.

Abby came in with Caitlin just before lunch. She noticed Tim's neck and gave him a nervous look.
"Don't worry, they've already seen it. I've been hearing about it all morning." Tim told Abby before giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Sorry, guess I got carried away." Abby saw Tony smirking at his desk. "Shut up Tony, you know you're just jealous."
Tony stood up and walked to Abby. "Me? Jealous of McGee? Never going to happen." He gave Abby a hug and she smiled at him.
"Since you want to make fun of my husband, you can hold Caitlin for me while I go get Ducky."
She handed the baby to Tony and he made a face. "Come on Abbs. I have no idea what I'm doing. What if I break her?"
Tim laughed and Gibbs rolled his eyes. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist DiNozzo." Gibbs said before walking over to Tony and gently taking the baby from him.
Gibbs cradled Caitlin and rocked her as he walked over and sat at his desk. The three of him stared at Gibbs.
"What?"
"Nothing," the three of them said at the same time.
Abby smiled as she watched Gibbs gently rock his God daughter and speak softly to her. He seemed like it was so natural. She wondered where Gibbs had learned to be so delicate and patient as she headed down to autopsy to get Ducky so they could all go out to lunch.

Over lunch, Tim and Abby explained some of the details of the wedding. They were going to have a small, informal gathering. It was to be held outside at a small bed and breakfast overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. They were going to exchange vows as the sun set.
Abby, of course, was going to wear a black dress and they were writing their own vows. Abby chose Becca as her maid of honor. Tim asked Tony to be his best man. He accepted saying it would be an honor.
Abby surprised Gibbs and Ducky by asking them both to walk her down the aisle. They both readily agreed as well. Tim swore he saw tears in Gibbs eyes, not that he would ever call him on it.
They finished lunch and Abby kissed everyone goodbye before talking Caitlin home and Tim, Tony Gibbs and Ducky all headed back to the office.
