Summary: Spencer Reid meets Abby Sciuto at a lecture, and things grow form there.
Notes: I decided to start with the easier team and go from there. I hope you like it.
When Gibbs got in for the day he was surprised to see a note from Abby sitting on his desk. He knew she had been planning to go in early to clean her lab, but was still a little surprised she had beaten him. Lately the only time she would beat him into work was when Reid was on a case and she was having trouble sleeping. He went down to her office, and could hear the music getting louder as he got closer. He knew that was a good sign and when he stepped into her lab he could tell she really had just had the inspiration to clean up, since she said she didn't trust the janitorial staff. She turned around and smiled at him then turned off her music.
"Gibbs, there's something I need to tell you," Abby told Gibbs.
"What's up Abs?" he asked concerned.
"I'm pregnant!"
He hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek softy. "Congratulations."
"I don't know how I want to tell everyone else, I want to be honest with them though. I also need to tell Director Vance. What if wants me to train someone to work in my lab while I'm maternity leave. I can't deal with that. What if they move my stuff? Or break one of my babies?"
"Abby relax you know I won't let that happen. We'll make it work so you can spend the time you need bonding with the baby I promise."
"Okay." She then hugged him again.
Her door opened and she smiled seeing the director standing there. She knew she had to tell him, but she was nervous. As much as she had gotten used to him there was a part of her that was still nervous around him. She also knew that after telling him telling everyone else would be a lot easier.
"Miss Scuito my secretary told me you wanted to see me," he told her.
"Yes, Sir, I did. I thought you should know that I'm pregnant," she explained. "I want to try to work for as long as I can though."
"All right, I understand. If you need anything you know you can ask."
"Thank you."
"And congratulations to you and your husband. I need to get back to work."
She nodded and watched him leave. She wasn't surprised when Ziva, McGee and DiNozzo came down to her lab. It wasn't often that the director would go down there and she knew they'd be curious. She thought it was a good chance to tell them too and she could go to autopsy to tell Ducky and Palmer before the rumour mill got out of control.
"Why was Vance down here?" DiNozzo asked.
"I had to tell him about the baby," Abby told him, a huge smile forming across her face.
"Abby! That is such great news," Ziva exclaimed giving her a hug.
"Congratulations," DiNozzo told her also giving her a hug.
"I'm so happy for you Abby," McGee told her, knowing how much she wanted kids.
"Thank you everyone Spencer and I are super excited about it. We just couldn't wait to tell the people we love. But no more buying me Caf Pows, I promised Spencer the baby wouldn't be born with caffeine jitters."
"As happy as I am for you Abs, we need to get to work," Gibbs told her.
She nodded and the four of them went back up to the bullpen area. She decided to go over to autopsy before she got any work from Gibbs. Ducky and Palmer were taking inventory.
"Abagail, to what to do we owe the pleasure?" Ducky asked.
"I have some news to share," she replied.
"I hope it's good news," Palmer said.
"It's very good news. I'm pregnant!"
"Wow that's great news!" Palmer exclaimed. "If you end up having a girl too Breena and I will be able to give you some hand-me-downs."
Ducky hugged her. "Abagail I needed some good news. Congratulations my dear I'm sure you and Spencer are very excited."
"Thank you Jimmy, I guess we'll find out in a few more months," she told him. "I know I am, and Spencer has decided he needs to do research so in his way I know he is too."
"I'm so happy for you, but we do have work to do."
She smiled and hugged them both before going back to her lab and letting them get their inventory done. When she got back up to her lab she saw she had a text. She knew it would be Reid telling her he had gone on another case. She was glad when DiNozzo brought her some evidence so she could keep her mind of the empty home she would be going to. She was already looking forward to the baby being born just so she wouldn't be going home to an empty house.
Notes: So that was that, let me know what you think heart.
