Lol. Ok, so the weekend thing didn't work out. I had some of it done… but then my rents were being annoying about homework and I got sidetracked, had some trouble with a certain subject… and stopped showing up, but its all sorted out now and I'm allowed on the computer again. YAY! So I had this written up for ages and I tried typing and putting it up at school, but there are those ANNOYINGLY STUPID filter things that wont let you go to any good sites so I couldn't. I apologise for the long wait. And it doesn't include the FBI yet, well not in person, but they have a few mentions. And hopefully a little KIBBS/TATE fun for yas.

ok, so i put this up lyk a week ago but i posted it to the wrong story... im such an idiot. and i only just realised. sorry guys, and thanks for your patience. i can be really frustrating in my dumb moments... thanx for sticking with me. xx


26 minutes later they pulled up into the parking lot.

'ok, 26 minutes, that twice as long as he gave me, plus the FBI and me talking in riddles, he's really not gonna be happy' Kate thought to herself as she got out of the car.

"Rosie sweetie… wake up, we're here…"

"mm" she mumbled in her sleep.

"Rosie, please. Gibbs is gonna kill me if I take much longer…"

".."

"ok ok." Kate mumbled as she picked up the sleeping child and locked the car.

As they got in the elevator her cell started ringing.

"shit." She cursed trying to hold Rosie and grab her cell from her belt. After nearly dropping Rosie she decided to just wait until she got to the bullpen.

Finally reaching the floor the elevator doors opened and she stepped out, walking over to her team.

"Hey Tony, a little help please."

"Kate, what happened? Are you ok?"

"I will be when you take her; she's a lot heavier than she looks."

He chuckled and took her from Kate.

"Kate, walk with me." Gibbs called walking past, not slowing a step as he spoke to her. She had to run a few steps to catch up.

"Yes Gibbs…"

"What happened? What did she tell you, it better be good. If you got me to call the FBI and beg for them to come over here to help us out and we don't need them you will be looking for a new job."

"Are you angry with me?"

"No, I'm just peachy."

"Gibbs…"

"No, Kate, don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Say my name like that, in that exasperated tone." 'and breathless voice' he thought.

"… well I am, you're being unfair."

"No, you were unfair to us, just taking off like that. Not even a phone call, leaving a message with McGee, making us worry about you…" he froze; he didn't mean to say that.

"You were worried about me?" she asked incredulously.

"Of course we were, we care about you. And with everything that's happened in the last few days you haven't been yourself, and we were worried you might do something… or he would do something to you."

"oh…" she said suddenly looking very vulnerable.

"Kate, would it be really inappropriate if I hugged you right now?"

"No" she whispered, tears starting to fall.


"I wonder what they're doing." Tony said to McGee.

"Who knows, Abby thinks…"

"…I don't care what Abby thinks" he said cutting him off. The last thing he needed to hear was that Abbs thought they were meant to be together and were madly in love with each other.

"But…"

"Probie shut it."

"Where am i… who are you, KATE. Where are you"

The two agents turned to see Rosie was awake… and terrified, of them.

"Probie, call Kate. Get her here now!"

"Hey Rosie, did you have a good sleep?"

"Where's Kate?"

"She just went for a little walk, she'll be back soon. She asked me to look after you while she was gone…"

"She promised she would stay with me…" Rosie said starting to cry.

"She really wanted to stay, her mean boss make her go with him... I'm Tony."

"Oh, are you a agent too?"

"Yep, see, there's my badge."

Rosie took it and looked at it, then started laughing.

"What?"

"You look funny!"

"What, where?"

"there." She said giggling and pointed to his picture.

"I do not."

"yes you do!"

"I…" he stopped when he looked at the picture. He did look funny. He had ice cream all over his face… it was one Kate took of him "…Kate, oh she is dead."

"Rosie? Are you ok?" Kate asked walking over. She had a smile, that was a good thing.

"Kate…" Tony said giving her the look, the 'you're gonna pay' look.

"yes." She asked innocently.

"Do you know anything about this?" he asked showing her his badge.

"…no"

"you sure?" he said advancing on her."

"yep." She replied walking back. He grabbed her around the waist and started tickling her. She squirmed laughed.

"Say sorry."

"Never!"

He tickled her more

"Say it."

"Ok ok, I give I'm sorry." She said and he let her go.

"Ha, I should think so." She stuck her tongue out at him. "What I could do with that tongue…" he replied grinning.

"ew, Tony!" she said slapping him.

Everyone was laughing… except Gibbs, who frowned from the elevator.

'She's meant to be mine, I love her. Tony just wants to sleep with her; she shouldn't be flirting with him…I need to see ducky. Who does she want, she can't have both, and I couldn't take it if she chose me then changed her mind…'

He thought on his way down to autopsy.


ok, so it was pretty short again. but I was trying to make it shipping-ish/ its pretty crap. But its really hard to put fighting for love in a story like this… of anyone has any good ideas for things to happen. Let me no. coz I thought I had this pretty much planned out now, but then when I actually write, different stuff comes out. and I take myself completely off track. But then no matter how many times I re-write it, it comes out practically the same… or I like the first version.

Anyway. Yeah, I apologise for the strangeness/shortness of this chapter. I didn't intend for it to be like this. I'm going through a particularly bad case of writers block at the moment so I don't know when my next update will be. But hopefully it is before everyone gives up on me

:)

Wow, AN almost longer than the chapter…

Reviews please
