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.

As always, thanks for the reviews. The whole TATE/KIBBS thing will be resolved quickly. There will be a lapse in time. You have been warned. And a big thanks to Katherine for all the little plot bunnies!!! You'll be seeing them (all of them). Enough from me....

Gibbs tried to keep the look of sheer terror off of his face. He had no idea that Tony had feelings for Kate. Gibbs was steadily thinking of ways to have Tony reassigned to one of the four corners of the earth. Then it hit him. He was jealous. Gibbs had feelings for Kate. He was quickly brought back to reality. "This is such a sweet card, 'Just to cheer you up, Sis, Tony.' I'll have to thank him tomorrow." Gibbs inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. So they were just friends. "I'm gonna get going." Gibbs said as he headed toward the door. "Ok, I'll see you tomorrow, and thanks for staying. I really appreciated it." Kate replied as she gave him a peck on the cheek. Gibbs tried to hide the grin on his face, but he couldn't. "I guess it's been a while huh?" "Why do you say that?" "You're grinning like a teenager on prom night." Kate replied as she closed the door. Gibbs almost ran to his car. He couldn't get home fast enough so that he could take a cold shower.

******************************************************************** Kate's mood had changed dramatically over the past couple of months. The morning sickness, done; the mood swings were few and far between. Everything was going great. She had a great support system of friends at work. Her brother/sister relationship with Tony was stronger than ever. He could sense when she was having a bad time and would always make her laugh. Tony even took her out to lunch a couple of times when he was concerned that she was not eating enough. Ducky was always there to listen to her rant and rave about the most random subject. He thought it was only fair since she listened to his stories in the autopsy room without sighing or rolling her eyes. Abby was always there to put Tony in his place if he got obnoxious. Abby figured that Kate had enough on her plate without having to deal with Tony's childish behavior. Then there was Gibbs. Kate did not know what the boundaries of their relationship were. One minute he is flirting with her; once right in front of Ducky; the next minute he is like her father, making sure that Kate was comfortable and ok. She was never going to figure him out.

Gibbs noticed that Kate was not herself one morning at work. Kate looked as if she thought that everyone was staring at her. "What's wrong, Kate?" Gibbs asked. "Nothing, it's nothing. Well, I went to my first Lamaze class, and everyone was staring at me. You think that they never saw a woman go to a Lamaze class alone, but I guess not. Every time I looked up, someone else was staring at me. It was the worst feeling ever; like I am the own pariah." Kate was visibly shaken by what happened last night. Gibbs went over to her and rubbed her back. "If it will help, I'll go with you. I mean if you want me to." "Really, you would suffer through a room full over fat women breathing heavy?" "Gee, you make it sound so fun. Of course I want to go with you. It'll give them something else to talk about." Gibbs grinned and winked at Kate. All she could do was laugh. She was actually looking for ward to her next Lamaze class.

*********************************************************************** Well, there ya go. We'll see the Lamaze class next chapter; should be a riot. Hit that little button.
