Gibbs heard the shouting from his room. When he heard the doors slam, he went out to investigate. He saw Tony running, half way up the street and their room door half open. Gibbs stepped in and walked to the toilet were he could hear Kate sobbing and throwing up.

"Kate…" He said gentle, a tone NEVER heard at NCIS.

"Go away…" She moaned.

"It's Gibbs" He tried again.

He could hear her getting up, and the soft click of the door. Kate stepped back and Gibbs was taken back a little. Her mascara ran down her cheeks, she looked pale and sickly. Bits of vomit stuck to bits of her beautiful hair.

"Oh Gibbs" She sobbed, throwing her self at him and crying more.

-

Gibbs sat her on the couch and got a warm face washer. He wiped her face and got the vomit out of her hair. He then sat across from her.

"Kate, what's happened?" He asked her gently.

Kate was taken back a little be Gibbs kindness. She took a deep breath.

"Me…me and Tony, after the 'Fourth Floor Man" incident, well we got together… me and Tony are dating" She said quietly. She prepared for yelling.

"Yes, I had my theory's. Tony has been too cocky lately and you haven't been putting him in his place. Which brings me to you, you haven't been you self for some time. More snappy, aggressive and well sick."

She shrugged. "Tummy flu" She piped.

Gibbs raised eyebrows. He pulled out his phone out.

"Just a sec Kate"

He went into their room and dialed a number.

"Abbs here!" Came a cheery voice on the other end of the line.

"Abby, Gibbs here. I have a problem I need help with."

"Shoot!" She said eagerly.

"It's Kate…" He said simply.

-

Gibbs watched Kate talk to Abby through the window. She was crying, soon she stopped and nodded. Gasped, nodded, and cried then came out to Gibbs. Wiping her eyes on her sleeve she mumbled, "I need to go the chemist". It turned out she had also talked to Ducky, who gave her one standout reason for her mood swings and sickness.

Kate nervously sat the pregnancy test on the counter as the old lady swiped it through.

"Oh you poor darl… your first time?" She asked a ghostly white Kate.

She just gave a strained smile, paid and carried it to where Gibbs waited in the car.

As soon as they got back she marched into the toilet. Mixed feelings circled her mined as she waited for the test; she hated Tony for doing this to her, she hated herself for being so stupid. She held her self-steady as her mind raced, wondering why people made these tests go for so long.

"Bloody barsteds" She muttered, every minute looking down at the stick, till finally it was ready. She glanced down but her eyes stayed there. She gave a little gasp and dropped it. She slid to the ground and just stared out into space.

-

Gibbs paced up and down. After a while he got worried, he knocked on the door.

"Kate?" He questioned, voice quivering ever so slightly from nerves. He liked Kate as a daughter, and was worried for her.

He gave the knob a twist and the door creaked open to reveling Kate, sitting on the floor. She looked up at those slicing blue eyes, softened with one questions.

Tears weld up in her eyes and she nodded.

Tony had walked the whole town twice now, trying to get things straight in his head. Why had he flirted with Amber, when he was with Kate? Suddenly he realized this was the longest relationship he had been in, not to mention the most difficult. It was natural for him to be a flirt. Usually if a relationship got tricky, he'd pull out as fast as he could, but for some reason he stayed. Even with Kate's mood swings and always hitting him.

"Wonder what is up her ass" he mumbled to himself.

-

He stopped at a park, taking a seat on a swing. It was a warm summer night; the sky was cloudless and faultless. The moon looked swollen and a creamy white like a giant pearl. He breathed in a sweet scented air and let his head drop into his hands. Kate was wearing him out, and maybe the three laps around town he'd run and walked. He knew Kate was the girl of his dreams, but why did she tire him so. Why was she all of a sudden crueler in other ways? He could withstand her sniper like comments, but hitting? He stood up, coming to a conclusion. They needed time apart. This was all too much for Tony, who longest relationship had been three days. He didn't have the commitment now. If he had some time to think about it and work it out, he was sure they'd be happier. He slowly walked back to the Roadhouse, dreading going there. He knew Kate wouldn't take it well, but he'll try to be gentle.

He opened the door a crack but stopped when she heard Kate bawling her eyes out. He was about to go running in there, but stopped him self as he heard Gibbs.

"It's ok Kate. We'll all give you the support you need. And don't worry about work, I'm more than happy to give you the time off."

Tony listened on puzzled. Then he guessed she really did have the tummy flu.

"What about Tony, what… how am I meant too tell him" She sobbed. She was starting to get annoyed again.

"Hey guess what Ton, while you were out, most likely sleeping with some blonde bimbo…"

Tony choked. How could she think that…

"We're having a baby!" She snapped sarcastically.

Tony gasped, forgetting he was leaning on the door, flying forward. That sent the door flying, smashing it into the wall.

Kate spun around from where she was pacing in the kitchen area to see Tony looking up at her. She glared at him but her face softened when she saw the fear and confusion in his eyes… the same fear she felt inside.
