It had been six months since he last saw her, since he last saw her smile, since he heard her husky laugh, six months since they had last made love, six months since he last told her "I love you". He missed her. He missed the way she swiped at his snatching hands while she was making dinner, the way she moved in the early hours of the morning, he missed her warmth… he missed… HER.

Gibbs sighed as he put down the sandpaper block and looked warily around the basement. Working on his boat couldn't even take his mind off of her. There were too many memories. They had spent hours down here, keeping each other company… in more ways than one. Gibbs chuckled as his mind wandered back to that fateful night when she had come home with him. They must have christened every area of the bench top, couch, chair…boat, before moving up to the house.

As he moved up the stairs towards the house, his thoughts moved to the morning after. She looked so beautiful, so pure, wrapped up in his arms. Her body fit perfectly against his. He remembered the way her hair fell across her face while she slept, and the way her nose crinkled as she woke up.

"mmm… morning" she'd said sleepily, as she adjusted her eyes, brown penetrating blue.

"Sleep well?" she snorted "it was good while you let me sleep!" Gibbs tickled her in retaliation. "GIBBS! Cut it out!" oof, she had elbowed him in the stomach as they wrestled around in the bed. He had finally managed to pin her down, kissing his way down her neck "You know Katie," he murmured between kisses, "after last night I really do think you ought to call me Jethro…" Brown eyes met blue as she pondered this statement "…Jethro…" God his name had never sounded better on anybody's lips. Her eyes had softened as she grinned wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him soundly on the lips,"Well Jethro… I guess we've officially gotten rid of rule 12!" she had shrieked as he growled and pulled her back under the covers. Eight months later, after much wrangling with the director, pulling of strings and Kate's decision to work as a 'freelance' profiler reporting directly to Morrow, they were married on the beach surrounded by their friends and family. Their friends had all been shocked when she had walked into the office with a princess cut diamond ring on her ring finger, with Gibbs' arm protectively around her waist. Tony grinned and said,

"what happened to rule 12 Boss"

"Tony I thought that you would have learnt by now that that rule was really only for you…" Tony's grin faded and he spluttered, "… after all, I couldn't have you going for my girl" Kate slapped his arm in amusement raising her eyebrow at him "YOUR girl?" Gibbs had merely smirked "Yup!"

Gibbs walked into the smaller moonlit room, bending to pick up discarded toys as he stepped over the family's beloved mutt Toni, who slept on the rug in the room where there was a small body curled up in bed. He chuckled softly as he watched their raven-haired daughter Stacy unconsciously tighten her grip on her 'binky'. Kate had tried with no avail to get Stacy to give up the pacifier. It didn't help that Gibbs was wrapped around the little girls finger and had given it back to her while her mother's back was turned. His little 'Princess' had quickly learnt not to have 'binky' in her mouth when mommy was around, and that it was sometimes ok when daddy was around. When Kate found out she was being duped, she was at first annoyed, then amused. Tony was watching Stacy while Kate and Gibbs interrogated a suspect, with strict instructions not to let Stacy have 'Binky', unless she was truly inconsolable and not pretending to be sad for the sake of having her 'binky'. Now Stacy, being Gibbs' daughter had always kept a spare in her pocket (rule 1 (?) for mischievous babies- always have a spare!), and had proceeded to pop it into her mouth as soon as mommy and daddy had left, giving Tony an impish playful grin. Tony had spent the next half an hour playing tug of war with the precocious 13-month-old girl, trying to get it out of her mouth and grip not wanting to incur the wrath of Kate once again, but she just clamped down harder, laughing at the 'game'. As soon as she heard the elevator ding, and her mommy's admonishing, yet laughing voice, she promptly took it out of her mouth and shoved it into Tony's. Gibbs, Mcgee, Ducky and Abby were doubled over at Tony's reaction and at Stacy's 'busted' look as she lifted her arms exclaiming "Mommy!" imitating her father's cheeky grin.

Laughing quietly at the memory, Gibbs brushed the hair off her face, lifting the corner of his mouth as she stirred, crinkling her nose and rubbing her eyes in the same manner that her mother did. "Mommy?" she murmured opening her eyes. "No baby, it's Daddy" Little sad, sleepy blue eyes stared back into his.

"Mommy home?" Gibbs' heart broke, as he struggled to contain his emotions, pulling her into his arms, he kissed her temple, lovingly rubbing her back,

"No baby, mommy's not here, she's with the angels remember, go back to sleep Princess" kissing her little fists he helped her settle back into bed.

"miss Mommy"

"I know Princess, me too" with that she snuggled back into her cocoon of blankets

"wuv you Daddy" she said sleepily as her dad got up to leave her to sleep

"Love you too baby girl"

tbc...
