I don't own NCIS, the characters or anything related to the show, just need
something to take my mind off of my unemployed status. If you're going to
sue, you gotta get in line behind the government. I got loans to pay.
Kate knew this time would come; when she would have to tell Tony, Abby, and Ducky about the pregnancy, but she had not decided to keep the baby or not. Abortion was not an option because of her religious beliefs. Sure she wanted kids, but she wanted a husband, white picket fence, and golden retriever puppy to go with it. Instead she was risking her life everyday chasing murderers, terrorists and all around bad guys, single and pregnant. Kate could see the concern on Tony's face as she walked back into the office with Gibbs behind her. He actually cared about her well being. She tensed up. She could not go through with this. How were her co-workers going to take the news? Were they going to judge her for being in this situation?
"Kate, is everything ok, you look a little pale." Tony inquired. She tried to talk, but the words were lodged in her throat. She felt like she was back in elementary school and had to explain to her teacher why her homework was missing. "I'm taking a leave of absence," she began. "I have some personal business to take care of, and I don't know how long it will take to sort everything out," being as vague as possible hoping they would accept this reason and let her go on with her life. Ducky could not believe what he was hearing, and Abby feared being the only girl on the team again, and loose her new best friend as well.
"Kate, tell them the rest. They will understand." Gibbs insisted. Kate was not going to get off easy as she had hoped. She took a deep breath and continued. "I'm pregnant, the father is not involved and I am on the fence about adoption." Even Gibbs was taken aback by the last part of her statement. "What do you mean, on the fence about adoption?" Gibbs asked. He knew Kate was a strong woman and could take on any obstacle that she encountered. He had no idea that she was second guessing herself on her ability to raise a child.
"I have a dangerous job. I can be sent out of the country on a moments notice, and I'm single. How can I raise a child like that?" No one had seen Kate shaken and so unsure of herself before. She sat down in the chair closest to her, not caring whose desk she was sitting at, and stared blankly at the floor. Tony knelt down beside her and took her hand in his. "You're not alone Kate. Not by a long shot. I'm not going to try and make you mind up for you, but what ever your decision; I'm here for you." "And who will help my keep Tony in his place if you leave? And I promise I won't make any fat or whale jokes" Abby said. "My dear, you are probably the only one in this group who actually pays attention to my stories, not just to make be feel better or keep me quiet." Ducky added. Kate could not keep the tears in any longer. She had no idea that these people cared for her. They were her family.
"Thanks you guys, this really means a lot to me. I actually think I can do this now; now that I'm not alone." "Do what, Kate?" Gibbs asked. "Keep the baby."
Hit that little button!!! Thanks for the reviews, they light a fire under my butt!!!
