Thank you all for the feedbacks you've given me. Everyone really means so much.

……………..At the restaurant……………..

"Listen up. This will go fast if everyone put their wallets on the tables. The credit cards should be there too. We will frisk people if necessary." One of the robbers yelled to them.

Everyone did as they were told because they didn't want to get killed. Still the rest of the robbers searched them because they didn't believe the hostages truly gave them the things they wanted.

"P, are you ready?" one of the robbers asked another.

"Just tying up the last one." He replied. They had tied everyone up so it would take longer before the police were alarmed.

"Ok, let's get out of here." The robber who spoke the most said.

Shots were fired, some of the men and women got beaten and some of the women even got their clothes torn. From what you could here the robbers enjoyed it very much. Tony saw Kate's scared look when one of the robbers passed her. Just as it looked like he was going to hit Kate in the stomach area he hit McGee on his back instead. Everyone was so confused and they didn't know if someone had been shot or not since it all happened so quickly. They were around ten robbers so everything happened very quickly.

…………………………..

In a few seconds they left the restaurant only leaving the guests tied up, gagged and hurt.

They had duck tape surrounding their hands, feet and on their mouths. They had put them on pretty tightly and it was really hard for anyone to get loose. McGee was the only one in the team who had been beaten.

Tony knew that his watch had some sharp edges and maybe if he could move himself closer to someone else he could tear the duck tape which was on their hands but moving while being stuck to a chair wasn't that easy. The robbers were smart. Not only did they tie them, they tied them to the chairs too. Without any means of communicating it was pretty hard for Tony to tell anyone what he wanted to do. The other person needed to understand what his intent was so he or she could help out making it easier to get free. Tony looked around and saw Kate's scared face and Gibbs angry face among many others. They were closest to him so at least trying to move him to them seemed like the best idea. If he couldn't free Kate then he could try to free Gibbs. He started to jump but the chair was pretty heavy and after a few times the chair tilted and nearly hit Kate. When he landed on the floor he looked up at Kate and so badly wanted to say I'm sorry to her. He felt so bad about nearly hurting her. She could have got seriously injured and lost the baby. Tony couldn't understand how stupid he was. Now he had to lie there until hopefully someone saw them through the windows and called for the police. Then he heard a sound which sounded like another chair moving. He could only see Kate from where he was lying but she couldn't see him. It wasn't she who moved so it had to be another person. Then he heard a loud noise similar to how it sounded when he landed on the floor. Not able to see who it was he wondered if that person was alright. Then suddenly he felt someone's hands on his hands. Without a second's delay he started to see if his watch could get through that person's duck tape. It took several minutes but he managed to cut through the duck tape. He waited impatiently until the person freed himself.

"When I saw you lying there I thought maybe if I could come close to you it would be easier for one of us to free ourselves." Gibbs said as soon as he had taken away his duck tape over his mouth. Then Gibbs started to cut Tony's tape with a knife. A few minutes later everyone was freed and just then the police came. Someone had seen them through the window and called the police.

……………..A while later………………..

Kate woke up and wondered where she was. She felt a bit sick and wondered why she had fallen asleep at the office. She saw everyone there but didn't really recognise the office. Was she so tired that she had forgotten how the office looked like? Right now she didn't want to wake up and start to work again because the dream was so lovely well at least the beginning was. Being pregnant, engaged to Tony…But her dream ended violently and it just had to be a dream because she knew she shouldn't feel like this, all torn up. Maybe she had dreamed about a case and mixed it up with her dreams of getting married and having kids. It wouldn't be the first time but it had been a while since she had such a bad dream and most often it would be Ari doing something bad to the team. Kate just hoped she would wake up properly and get out of this dazed and confused state.

"So you're up now." Abby said to her.

"Sorry for sleeping. So what are we doing?" Kate asked her.

"We're at the police station." Abby told her.

"Why?" Kate asked her. Abby looked confused at her. She had been awake until they came to the police station where she fell asleep while she waited for them to let her give her statement.

"Because of what happened in the restaurant to us." Abby explained to her.

"But wasn't that a dream?" Kate asked looking at her strangely.

"Kate, do you remember what happened to you?" Abby asked her.

"Ducky, can you come over here?" Abby then asked Ducky who was sitting a few feet away from them.

"What is it?" he asked her.

"I think she thinks everything that has happened is a dream. Can you check if she is in shock?" Abby asked her.

"I'm fine…Just tired…"Kate explained to them.

"What is the last thing you remember?" Ducky asked her.

"It just feels like a bad dream. I really don't want to talk about it." She explained.

"You're next to leave your statement. Are you sure you're up for it? In your state I understand that you may not want to do it now." Ducky told her.

Kate felt she needed to breathe and try to remember what has happened. She closed her eyes. Why did she feel that she didn't want to talk about something? Why did it all feel like a bad dream?

"Are you alright?" Gibbs asked her when he saw Ducky and Abby looking concerned.

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Kate said a bit frustrated.

"Because you don't look so well. Maybe we should take you to the hospital." Abby told her.

Kate looked around and couldn't see Tony. Then she looked down and saw her hand. There was a ring on her hand. A ring on her finger but no Tony around. So this wasn't a dream?

"Am I pregnant?" Kate asked them.

"Can't you remember?" Abby asked now really concerned.

"I'll get her some water!" McGee told them.

"She might have blocked it out and feels strange because she knows something is going on but can't remember it." Ducky explained to them.

"You're pregnant and yes that ring means you are engaged." Abby continued.

"Where is he then?" Kate asked.

"Tony is giving a statement to the police. He'll be here shortly." Ducky explained to her.

McGee came back with some water to her. Everyone was surrounding her and when Tony walked back to them he saw how everyone was standing around her. She was drinking water but he still sensed something was wrong. He got really worried.

"Is everything alright?" he asked.

"I'm not sure she is up for leaving a statement. First she thought she had dreamed it all and couldn't remember what happened in the restaurant and that she is engaged and pregnant…I think it all became too much for her. Pregnant woman are more emotional fragile so just let her rest when she comes home…I remember one time when I worked at a hospital…"Ducky said to Tony but no one wanted to hear more of Ducky's stories.

"Let's just go home." Tony said helping her up.

"I'm ready to take the last statement now…Let's see…Ms Todd it is…" the detective then said.

"I think she isn't ready for it. Can we do it another time?" Tony asked him.

"It's better to do it while it is still fresh in her mind." He replied.

"Trust me…It'll be better to do it another day." Tony continued.

"I still remember it even if it feels like a big nightmare or dream. I just want it to be over with. Please, let me do it…You can be there too." Kate pleaded to Tony. She felt how scared he was and she knew he had all right to be. If everything that happened in her dream was true then it was understandable that he only wanted her to go home and get better.

Gibbs then went up to the detective and explained to him the situation.

"Usually we don't let other people be there except lawyers but we can do an exception. " The detective answered.

Kate looked exhausted and sad. It hurt Tony so bad seeing her this way. All he wanted was to make her feel better. Kate wondered what Tony was thinking. Deep inside she knew she loved him and hated being the one making him feeling so bad.

……………………Back home…………

"You just lie there and don't move." Tony said after carrying her to their bed.

"That won't happen. I need to go to the toilet, eat, get changed…"Kate said before she was cut off.

"And stress a lot. I don't think so. Let me take care of you. For the next nine months that's my job. Gibbs has already given you the day off tomorrow and I'll try to come home as soon as possible tomorrow." Tony told her.

"Have you called the bank and blocked our credit cards?" Kate then asked him.

"As soon as you fall asleep I will. Let me take care of the practical things and you just rest." Tony said to her.

"We went to the hospital and he said I'm just fine." Kate said to him wanting him to stop thinking of her as a very vulnerable creature. That wasn't who she was but was that what she was becoming now that she is pregnant?

"Not what I heard. He said rest, take it easy and not get stressed…He was really concerned after Abby explained how you were after you woke up. That together with how quiet you were on the ride to the police station suggested you were in shock. I'm taking that very serious. You should too." Tony told her trying to be as calm as possible but still he wanted her to take this very serious and he felt she wasn't right now. He saw how her mood changed within seconds. From being tired and sad to angry with a lot of energy.

"The robbers tour across the country and won't come back…No need to worry about them anymore…That should imply to me too…I can take care of myself and the doctor said I'll be fine. Don't watch over me like a hawk. I don't need that." Kate told him.

"So you don't care about our baby?" Tony asked angry.

"I have never said that! You twist my words." Kate told him.

"That is what you are implying!" Tony said to her.

Kate then threw a pillow at him.

That night Tony didn't know if he should sleep in the sofa or not. After making food to them, helped Kate with a few things and calling everyone which needed to be called he slowly went back to their bedroom. He picked up the pillow which was still lying on the floor. Tony got changed and slipped quietly in the bed. He hated it when they fell asleep angry at each other and wondered how she felt.

"Tony…I'm not used to all of this attention…I'm sorry." Kate suddenly said. Tony realised she must have woken up.

"I'm sorry too. I should know that you aren't used with everyone acting like this around you. I'm going to buy as many pregnancy books I can for both of us." Tony told her.

"I love you." Kate told him.

"Come here…"Tony said to her while pulling her to him…"I love you too."
