Not What You Expected Chapter 6

Here's the new chapter, sorry for the wait, school is taking up a lot of my time.We have 2 tests on Friday, so I probably wont be updating any of my stories until after that. Sorry!

It was like seeing an older version of Abby. Their faces were almost identical, but Jen was taller and her black hair was longer and put up in a long ponytail. She held out her hand to Gibbs, and then to Kate.

"I'm Abby's sister, but I guess that you've figured that out alredy. You guys must be Gibbs and Kate, right?"

Gibbs smiled.

"Right."

She took a seat next to them. Gibbs noticed that her face was very pale, but he didn't know if it was because she was worried about her sister, or if she just had very fair skin.

Waiting was one of the worst things Kate knew, and under these circumstances it wasn't really better. Suddenly, when they had waited for about 30 minutes, she saw a doctor walking towards them.

All of them stood up.

"I'm dr Henderson. I assume that your here for miss Sciuto?"

"That's right, do you know whats wrong with her?" Kate said.

"We have discovered that miss Sciuto has got pneumonia, caused by an Anaerobic Bacteria."

"What does that mean?"

"It's a more dangerous form of pneumonia. She will have to stay here for while, but if you want to, you can go and see her now, she just woke up." Doctor Henderson gestured towards the long corridor. "Her room number is 417. Please don't stay too long, she needs to rest."

Kate quietly opened the door to her friends room and gasped at the sight of her. Abby was lying in the hospital bed, her black hair spread across the pillow. A tube was in her nose and several IV lines in her arm, but her eyes were open, and when she gave them a weak smile she saw that her lips were almost blue.

"Abby!" Kate took a chair and sat by her friend. "How are you feeling?"

"Been better" Her voice was hoarse and raspy. Suddenly she discovered her sister, who had been standing next to her boss.

"Jen! What are you doing here? I thought you had to work"

Her sister hugged her carefully, mindful of the IV in her arm and sat down by her bed, still holding one of her hands. She had been so worried, her baby sister meant everything to her.

"Don't you think I care more about you than about my job? I love you, you know that"

Abby smiled.

"Please don't do that again Abby. We were really worried." Gibbs said, him also taking a chair to sit down.

"Do what Gibbs?"

"Cough blood like that, you scared the hell out of me." Gibbs wanted to stay by her side all night, look after her, see that she was alright, but he realised that it would be inapropriate. He hated seeing her like this, voulnerable, not her usual self.

He noticed that they had taken her pigtails out so that her hair fell down past her shoulders and that they had removed her makeup. She looked so small in her hospital gown, she didn't fit in here and he wondered when they would have her back at the office with them.

"They said that I would have to stay here for about a week" Abby said, as if she had read his mind. He could tell by the tone of her voice that she didn't like it, not at all.

"Is there something you want me to get from your apartment? I can swing by after work" Kate offered. It was the least thing she could do, seeing her friend like this.

"Just some clothes and a book. I don't need anything else. And Buster probably needs some food too, so if you could feed him it would be great"

"Buster?" Kate looked puzzled.

"Yeah, he's my pet. His food is in my fridge, in a red box."

"Okay, I'll do that."

Seeing how Abby struggled to keep awake, Gibbs decided to leave her and her sister alone for a while.

"Abs, me and Kate will be going back to the office now, but we will come back later, okay?"

He stood up, and so did Kate.

"Okay" Abby said, the medicines making her sleepy. Her eyelids slowly closed.

"See you later" Jennifer signed to Gibbs, not wanting to wake her sister up, she needed her sleep.

"Sure" Gibbs signed back.

TBC?
