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.

Thank for the chip on my shoulder, I mean the reviews. They really mean a lot. Although I will keep you in suspense about the pairing (insert evil laugh here).

I've fast forwarded a little bit to speed the story up a little bit.

Kate never thought this day would come. She was able to watch Tony eat his lunch without her stomach lurching up and down, sending her to the bathroom everyday. He apologized constantly for making her sick to which she always said, "It's ok Tony. It's not your fault." And it wasn't his fault. It was one of the many facets of pregnancy that she had learned to deal with, and she was happy it was over.

"Kate, you're still here." Tony noticed. "Yeah, I know. Isn't it wonderful? I watched you eat and I'm still sitting here. I think we can all go ice skating in Hell tonight," Kate smiled. It was a good day. Gibbs walked into the bullpen with a fresh cup of coffee wondering why both Kate and Tony were smiling when the entire team was knee deep in paperwork. "Out for a refill, boss?" Tony inquired. "Yeah, why are you two not working?" "Well, I was taking a lunch break and Kate didn't throw up and then you walked in. Now you're up to date." Gibbs took the lid off of his coffee cup, sending an aroma of the caffeine filled liquid towards Kate, who was enjoying watching Tony try to cover his butt. Soon her joy turned to grief as a familiar feeling filled her stomach. She put her hand to her mouth and ran to the bathroom as fast as she could. "I guess our ice skating date is off." Tony said to himself.

Gibbs had grown accustomed to this sight but it pained him none the less. "At least it wasn't my sandwich that did it." Tony said. "Then what was it? She was doing so good. She was fine all this morning, even in the car," Gibbs inquired. "It was your damn coffee, you fool," Kate yelled. "All you do is drink that crap like it was keeping you alive." Kate was sobbing and completely out of control. Tony could not believe what he was seeing, all the while hoping that Kate would stop before Gibbs did anything irrational. She had insulted his coffee drinking habit. His wishes did not come true. Kate snatched the cup out of his Gibbs' hand and threw it across the room.

Everything stood still, waiting for a reaction from Gibbs, hopefully one that did not include restraining him. Kate could not believe what she just did. He mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air. "I am so sorry. I have no idea what came over me. One minute I was laughing and the next I was this crazed being. I am so sorry. What is happening to me? I think I am losing my mind." Kate grabbed her things and ran out the door. "Should I go after her boss?" "No, she needs some time to think, and you need to get whatever results Abby has ready," Gibbs said. He knew that what he had just done was wrong. Gibbs had the results on his desk, but by the time Tony came back, he would be gone.

Ok, ok. You can probably tell where I am going here, but there might be a few twists and turns along the way. You know what to do now, hit that little button and make my day.
