Trouble

Tony and Kate spent the day exploring the city. They couldn't remember the last time they had had so much fun. That evening at dinner they tried to keep the conversation light but they couldn't help but talk about the wedding and their future. "Okay so do you want a big wedding or a small wedding?" Tony asked. "I don't know, how about something in between?" Kate suggested. "That could work, so who should we invite?" asked Tony. "Well I can tell you who we won't be inviting, none of your ex-girlfriends or my ex-boyfriends. I just don't want to take any unnecessary risks." Kate said. "That's understandable. Next question, I know we'll invite Abby, Ducky, and McGee but should we invite Gibbs?" Tony asked. "Right now I'd say no, but let's just see what happens before we make any decisions on that issue." Kate replied.

Back in their hotel room Tony and Kate were in the middle of a very deep, passionate kiss when they were interrupted, yet again, by a knock at the door. "Tony! Kate! I know you're in there! Open this door now!" Gibbs demanded. "Coming boss" Tony shouted toward the door. "Why can't he just leave us alone?" Kate asked Tony. "I'll try to get rid of him." Tony said giving Kate a quick kiss before he answered the door. "What do you want Gibbs?" Tony asked. "I need to talk to Kate." Gibbs replied. "Can't it wait until morning?" asked Tony. "No." Gibbs said coldly. "Fine" Tony said letting him in the room. Tony sat back down next to Kate and slipped his arm around her waist protectively. He knew what Gibbs was about to say. "Kate, can I talk to you alone?" Gibbs asked. "No Gibbs, anything you have to say to me you can say in front of Tony." Kate replied. "Okay then, Kate I think I'm falling in love with you." Gibbs said. "What?" Kate replied in a tone that surprised him. At this point Kate was not very happy and both Tony and Gibbs could sense that. "How dare you?" Kate said as she stood up. "Kate." Tony interrupted but Kate cut him off. "Let me handle this Tony." She said firmly. Tony just prayed that Kate wouldn't shoot Gibbs. "How dare you come in here and tell me you think that you're in love with me! You know Tony and I are engaged! You know that we're happy! How dare you try to screw with our happiness!" Kate shouted. "Well this is definitely not the reaction I expected." Gibbs said. "What were you expecting Gibbs? Were you expecting me to feel the same way you do? Were you expecting me to leave Tony for you? If so I've got news for you it's not going to happen!" Kate replied trying not to cry. Tony picked up on this and went over to her. Tony pulled her into a protective embrace. "You know what Gibbs, you've said enough." Tony told him. "I'm not finished." Gibbs replied. "Yes you are, now get out!" Tony said. Gibbs gave in and left. He had never meant to upset Kate, at least not that much.

Tony just stood there holding Kate as she cried. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Yeah, just hold me. I need to be near you." Kate replied. "Let's sit down and talk." Tony suggested. "Okay talking might help." Kate said. "I can't believe he did that…" Tony began to say but Kate stopped him. "You know what, let's just forget about that. We're finally alone and I'm not going to let Gibbs or anyone else ruin what's left of our night." "What are you saying?" Tony asked. "I'm saying that I want you to make love to me Tony." Kate replied. "Are you sure you want to I mean after what just…" Tony began to say but Kate kissed him before he could finish his thought. "Does that answer your question?" Kate asked. "Well if you're sure." Tony said then he kissed her. That night they made love like they had never made love to each other before.

Hours later Tony and Kate were sound asleep but Tony awoke to the sound of his cell phone ringing. "Dinozzo" he answered. "McGee slow down, what happened? Okay, yes if you must. Just give us a few minutes. Okay, bye." Tony hung up the phone and looked at Kate, she was sleeping peacefully and he hated to wake her but he knew he had to. "Kate, Kate wake up." Tony said. "What?" Kate asked. "We have a situation; Gibbs kicked McGee out of their room." Tony told her. "How is that my problem?" Kate asked grumpily. "Kate this is about to be our problem. McGee will be staying in our room for the rest of the night." Tony replied. "Fine" Kate said. Tony then threw Kate's pajamas at her. "Now get dressed." Tony said. "You're a bit bossy tonight aren't you?" Kate pointed out. "Only because you are being grumpy and stubborn" Tony replied.

Moments later there was a knock at the door. Tony let McGee in. "Kate doesn't look too happy." McGee said to Tony. "She's not and you'll find out why soon enough." Tony replied. "Does it have anything to do with why Gibbs locked me out?" McGee asked. Tony just nodded. McGee went over and sat down on the couch, while Tony got back in bed with Kate. Tony just held Kate as they told McGee what Gibbs had done earlier that night.

The next day anytime that Gibbs was around Tony became extremely protective of Kate. Gibbs had upset her once Tony wasn't going to let it happen again. Kate normally wouldn't stand for such behavior but under the circumstances she was grateful. The flight home was uneventful. Tony and Kate sat in the seats in front of McGee and Gibbs. The spent the whole trip back to Washington D.C. planning their wedding.

Gibbs dropped Tony and Kate off at their house and then sped off. Tony and Kate were glad to be home. Due to the events of the night before they were both tired and they decided they would watch a movie then go to bed early since they had to be up early for work the next morning.

Gibbs was in his basement working on his boat and listening to the radio. The music playing reflected his mood. Gibbs was never one to listen to the lyrics of a song but tonight a certain song caught his attention. The song playing just seemed to fit.

Take your head around the world…

See what you get from your mind.

Write your soul down word for word

See who's your friend, who is kind…

It's almost like a disease…

I know soon you will be…

Over the lies, you'll be strong…

You'll be rich in love and you will carry on…

But no, oh no…

No you won't be mine.

Gibbs thought about what Kate said to him. Who was he kidding, she was right. He did know she was happy and he was trying to ruin it. Kate's tone last night at hurt him, her words hurt him, the fact that she chose Tony over him hurt him. But he didn't want to hurt her anymore so he decided he'd leave them be, he'd let her be happy.

I know soon you will be…

Over the lies, you'll be strong…

You'll be rich in love and you will carry on…

But no, oh no…

No you won't be mine.
