As the others all sat in the hospital waiting room, Tim paced back and forth. They had all been there for about twenty minutes, and Tim hadn't stopped pacing since Abby had been sent back.

"Take a McChillPill, McGoo," Tony said, "You're makin' me dizzy with all that movin' back and forth."

Tim stopped and glared at Tony. "Excuse me for being worried about my pregnant girlfriend who just passed out at work!"

Ducky stood up and went over to Tim. "I looked over her at NCIS, Timothy. She never lost consciousness, the baby was kicking the entire way to the hospital, and she even said that she hadn't drank much water- or anything for that matter- today. She was most likely dehydrated and she had been working too hard. She's about to go into her third trimester, Timothy. Dizziness comes along with that."

Tim lifted a hand to his forehead. "I'm getting a headache."

"Sit down, McGee," Gibbs said, then took a sip of his coffee. "The doctor will come out soon."

Tim sat down next to Gibbs, leaned forward- resting his elbows on his legs- and began nervously bouncing his legs.

A couple of minutes later the doors to the ER opened and Tim jumped up. "Is she okay? What's wrong? What about the baby?" He asked the woman who walked out.

Tony got up and put his hands on Tim' shoulders, then began pulling him away, "She's not a doctor, Tim, she's a visitor."

Tim looked back at the woman who was now walking away slowly. "Oh… Sorry."

Tony patted his shoulders, "It's alright, McGee. Let's just sit and wait."


Ten more minutes passed, then the doctor came out. Tim hesitated before getting up.

Tony, who had moved over beside him, leaned towards him, "That's her," He said, letting Tim know it actually was the doctor this time.

Tim got up quickly, followed by the rest of the team.

"How is she?" Tim asked.

"She's fine, Agent McGee. I have Miss Sciuto lying down right now, just resting for a little while. She was just dehydrated and moving a little too quickly, but she's drinking some water and should be good to go in a few minutes. I can tell she is a very energetic woman, but she needs to take more breaks. Force her to sit down if you have to. And make sure she drinks plenty of fluids."

"And the baby?"

The doctor smiled. "Your little boy is fine. If you have any questions, ask any of the nurses to come get me. You can go back and see her if you want. She's in room one twenty-three."

Tim nodded. "Thank you."

The doctor walked off and Tim turned to see smiles on Tony, Ziva and Ducky's faces.

"What?" He asked.

"You are having a boy," Ziva said happily.

Tim smiled. "Oh, you heard that?"

"Of course we did McIt'sAMale." Tony patted Tim on the back, "Congratulations! You're gonna have a little McNozzo."

Tim's smile faded. "Oh God."

"Do not listen to him, McGee," Ziva replied. "You are too much of a gentleman to have a child like Tony. Congratulations."

"Thanks, Ziva."

"Yes, congratulations, Timothy. I bet you are very excited."

Tim's smile returned. "I am. Especially now that I know Abbs is okay."

Gibbs nodded towards the doors. "Go on, McGee. We'll wait out here."

"Alright. We'll be out in a few minutes."

Tim left and headed for Abby's room. He just realized that he was shaking and his hands were sweaty. He knew he was nervous, but he didn't know he was that nervous.

He took a deep breath as he entered Abby's room. "Hey, Abbs."

Abby grinned at the sight of Tim. "Hi, Timmy!" She immediately raised her arms for a hug.

Tim was more than happy to comply. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her, so happy that she was okay.

They hugged for a moment, then Abby pulled back. Her smile disappeared and she looked worried. "You're shaking, Timmy."

Tim was hoping she wouldn't notice. He sat down on the bed. "Yeah. A little bit."

"Why?"

"I… I was so scared, Abby. I was terrified that something was going to happen to you and the baby and… and I just couldn't," His breathing quickened, "…I couldn't..."

Abby put her hand over Tim's. "Hey, it's okay. I'm fine. I was just being a little careless is all. Both baby McAbby and I are fine."

Tim laughed. "Cute name."

"Thank you. I thought of it myself."

They were both silent for a moment.

"Abbs?" Tim began, breaking the silence.

"Yeah?"

"I've, um… I've been thinking for a while now, and…"

"And what, Timmy?" Abby asked, becoming nervous.

"I just… I know this is probably the wrong place and time, but I can't wait any longer."

"Tim, what is it?"

Tim took a deep breath and look Abby straight in the eyes. "Abby, I love you so much. I can honestly say I have never been happier in my life then I have been since finding out you were pregnant. You mean the world to me-"

"Are you breaking up with me?" Abby asked.

"What? N-"

"Cause it sounds like you're telling me the good stuff before you tell me the bad stuff."

"Abby, I'm not-"

"And, I don't know wh-"

"Abby, will you marry me?"


I know it's short, but it contains a lot of stuff.

I wanted to update this yesterday, but I have been extremely busy. Hopefully things will calm down soon.

Well, let me know what you think :)
