Chapter 18
One Month Later
"No" Gibbs said calmly, turning away, in his mind the conversation over, Abby had other ideas
"Jethro" she called out, causing Tony and Kate to look up from the evidence they were pawing through on the table in Abby's lab. Tony looked over at Kate and hitched his thumb at her towards the door, Kate nodded and they quickly headed for the door
"Stay" Gibbs said without turning and looking at them, knowing that they would have halted mid step at his one word, he heard them slowly cross back to the table and had to fight hard not to grin.
His eyes stayed locked on Abby in a silent battle, one that he enjoyed, his mouth curved into a smile and his eyes dared her to continue, knowing full well she would
"We are having a party" she said again, stepping towards him, her eyes glittering with suppressed annoyance or humour, Gibbs wasn't quite sure which
"No we are not" he said again "You are not up to…" he started to say but was cut off by the look on Abby's face, the one he had come to recognise, and love at the right time, her lab was not the right time or place
"Wanna bet?" she said stepping closer to him
"Abby…" he warned her
"Gibbs..." she warned back
Kate and Tony weren't even pretending to look at the evidence now; this was just too good to miss.
Abby had been back at work for one day, and whilst they had all noticed a slight change in Gibbs since the shooting and they knew that Abby was living with him full time, coffin in the spare room for when they had an argument as Abby claimed, they had not really seen this side of Abby and Gibbs before and it was a revelation to say the least. And it was so much fun.
Gibbs watched Abby carefully then sighed, a slight grin tugging at his mouth
"Fine" he said turning on his heal and leaving the lab without a further word.
Kate and Tony watched in amazement as Abby did a little two step and turned back to her computer. Then they turned to look at each other, shock on both of their faces
"Abby…" Kate said
"Abby…" Tony said at the same time
"Abigail dear…" Ducky called from where he had been reading some results and observing the battle of wills silently
"Yes Ducky Darling" Abby said, ignoring the other too and dancing over to his side
"You do realise my dear girl that Jethro will make you pay for that, don't you?" Ducky said a smile on his face, he had been over for dinner a few times with Jethro and Abigail and was amazed at how well suited the pair were. He turned his attention back to Abby, who grinned and danced away
"Yep, and it is sooo much fun" she said with a filthy grin and waggle of her eyebrows at him, he turned to look at Kate and Tony who had both groaned
"Ohh Abby, too much information" Kate exclaimed with a shudder, turning back to the evidence before her. Abby smiled as she heard Tony mutter
"That's sick" to Kate, who just nodded at him
Abby smiled as she looked at her screen, this was going to be so much fun, she thought happily.
The End
AN: this was never supposed to be this long, it was only supposed to be a short conclusion for Gibbs and Abby but it just kind of grew, so I apologise if I rambled a bit!
Hope you liked it anyway
