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.
Ducky could not believe what he was seeing. In all the years he had known Gibbs, not once had he seen the former Marine completely disregard regulations concerning co-workers and fraternization. Nothing could have prepared him for the sight before him. Not only was he in a compromising position, but with Kate. Tony and Abby just stood there unsure of what, if anything, they should day. He could not take it any longer.
"What do you think you are doing Jethro?" Ducky scolded. It was obvious that Ducky had been upset by what he had just seen.
"How can you take advantage of Kate like that, especially in her delicate condition?" Gibbs recognized the look in Ducky's eyes. He was starting one of his tirades and there was no way Gibbs was going to talk himself out of it.
"She does not need you playing with her emotions. You are a grown man, act like one." Gibbs did not want to tell Ducky about his relationship with Kate because he wanted to keep their private life private and not upset Ducky more.
Both men did not notice that Kate was becoming increasingly agitated. How could they talk about her like see wasn't even there? She knew that Tony and Abby were keeping quiet because they wanted to escape that wrath both Ducky and Gibbs. And there was Gibbs, the man she had fallen in love with had basically denied the fact that they were in a committed relationship. Abby saw the look on Kate's face and tired to play peacemaker.
"Ducky, Gibbs is a grown man and can make his own decisions. I am sure that he has a reasonable explanation about why he and Kate were....kissing." Abby looked at Gibbs, silently giving him one last chance to make peace with Kate. Gibbs paused for a second before he responded.
"It was for a case. We were going over possible scenarios when you walked in."
"Are you kidding me," Kate yelled. "You are going to stand there and tell these people that we were working on scenarios for a case. Well, I guess Ducky was right. You were just using me for a good time, is that it."
"Kate, I can explain..." He said as he walked closer to her, trying to calm her down. Just then tears began to fall from her eyes.
"I thought that we had something Gibbs. What about last night, was that just some one night stand to say that you slept with me?" Tony could not believe what he was hearing.
"Boss, you slept with Kate?" Tony asked. Kate waited to see what Gibbs was going to say. Was he going to lie or tell the truth? Gibbs stood there quietly, staring at the ground. Kate practically ran to the door.
"I knew I should have resigned when I had the chance." Kate said between wiping her eyes. Gibbs hated to see her like this, in so much pain. Knowing that he was the cause of her tears, he needed to do something about it.
"I love you, Kate."
"What did you just say?"
"I said I love you." Kate abruptly stopped in front of the door and waited; waited for her knight in shining armor to rescue her once more. He did not let her down. She felt strong arms embrace her once more, and warm, gentle hands caress her unborn child. Kate gasped, not able to verbally describe what she had felt, but Gibbs knew what happened by the smile on Kate's face.
"I felt it to," Gibbs said.
"What is going on?" Ducky demanded. Kate looked at him and said, "The baby just kicked."
