A/N: Hannah is a mystery to me still (for the most part) I promise to try and reveal more about her past and family in this and the next chapters. I will attempt to write/update this story faster than my other two, simply cause this one is going to end up being longer than the other two, and I kinda like this one better. So here you go remember to review, I love reviews, for those of you who read/review my story I promise to start reading and reviewing yours as of this weekend, cause I've been extraordinarily busy but I have a weekend to just vegg out now, so if you review I will.
Don't Fear the Reaper
Chapter Three
Abby glanced nervously at Hannah who was just now beginning to wake up, the small figure slid her legs over the side of the futon and sat strait up, rubbing her eyes with her small hands and letting a tiny but adorable yawn escape. Without thinking Abby slammed the scrap book closed and just stared at Hannah as she slowly went though the ritual of waking herself up, as Hannah became awake enough to open her eyes Abby shifted her gaze to the floor in front of her, not sure if she had been caught staring.
"Abby?" Hannah questioned, stepping right into Abby's sight, her eyes glazing over as Abby turned away to not look at her, "Are you made at me?" Standing her ground Abby clenched her fists together, "My mommy was mad at me too, before she left with Hayden." The girl said surprisingly calm, causing Abby to shift on her heels, wanting to ask who Hayden was, or even who her mother was but not sure why she held back, "You know she still loves you, even though she was mad at you, she still loves you…my mom was the same." Abby said knowingly, not sure why she was trying to sympathize with someone she didn't even understand.
"Common, I'm taking you to see Ducky." Abby stated blankly, reaching out for Hannah's hand and walking her to autopsy, knowing that Hannah couldn't go in she stood at the door and waved Ducky down. "Hey Ducky, want to do me a favor?" Abby said looking up at him with a full on pout, she knew that he wasn't looking at her though, he was staring at Hannah, "Anything for you my dear Abigail, and who is this sweet heart accompanying you today?" Abby watched in amusement as Hannah turned a deep shade of red and tried hiding behind her, "This my dear Ducky is Hannah, and she is all yours for the rest of the afternoon." Before getting a reply she gently edged Hannah towards the older man. Glancing up at Ducky and keeping his stare for a moment before smiling sweetly, saying goodbye to Hannah and leaving.
"Hey Boss Man, I need you down her…now." Abby paused for a moment listening to his voice on the receiver, "Nope, not case related but equally important." She did a good job of making it sound urgent when in reality she wasn't even sure what she would say when he got down there. Crossing her lab, she suddenly found herself fidgety, finally taking a seat in front of her computer she noticed the note book that held all of Hannah's drawings and quickly grabbed it, ripping out a page and shoving it into her pocket before placing the book in the exact position it had been in before.
"Hey Abs?" She spun sharply on her heels and stared a Gibbs, "Hi." Mumbling under her breath she signaled for him to pull up a chair and he did so. She opened her mouth and then closed it, not sure what to say and how to say it. "You okay Abs-"
"Who is she?" Abby finally blurted out, looking strait ahead of her, not once glancing over at Gibbs, but without seeing him she knew he was smiling, "Who is who?" He questioned jokingly, causing Abby to snap her head in his direction, "You know who." The look on her face and the tone of her voice proved to him that she wasn't joking around, he suddenly grew more serious. "Gibbs you brought her here and left her with me without telling me a thing about her, I've looked after her gladly and she grew on me but I don't know a thing about her, but I know you do, because…" She stopped suddenly and looked at him, then glanced around the room and finally set her stare on her lap, "Because when your around her you have this look in your eyes… Something bad happened to that little girl and I don't know about it, does she even know?"
Through out Abby's entire interrogation he remained silent, his face empty of all emotions, "Hannah's mother is a friend, I'm taking care of Hannah for her while she's out on a business trip-" Abby slammed her hands down, whipping her head towards him again obviously upset, "Don't you dare lie to me Gibbs, that's not what's going on, you know it, I know it, everyone knows it!" Her voice was cold as ice as she spoke, both knowing that it was only because he lied to her that she was pissed.
"Hannah, is- her mother is gone for a while, and she asked me to watch her girl, I couldn't say no." Abby rolled her eyes, "What ever, if your going to keep lying this conversation is over." She gave him a long stare and finally stood up pushing her chair back in the process, walking behind him, he tried to look at her but she was standing directly in his blind spot, finally after feeling a sharp pain he got up and looked at her apologetically, "You know I'd tell if I could." He said sadly and left, leaving Abby alone in her lab. She stood steady for a moment then brought her hand in front of her and unclenched her fist, revealing a single silver hair, a smile grew on her face, "You know I'll find out anyway…" She mumbled to herself.
"Hey Duck, where's the brat?" She asked casually, leaning against one of the cold metal tables, "Hannah is with Jethro, picked her up an hour ago." Abby nodded, not really listening but giving the allusion that she was, "Okay Ducky, see you tomorrow." She crossed autopsy and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and just as she was out the door she felt a hand on her shoulder, "I really shouldn't be doing you favors like this Abigail." He handed her a bag with a single blonde hair in it, Abby took it happily, "You know something's are better left unknown." He stated, causing a sad smile to grow on Abby's red lips, "Not this one Ducky." She leaned in and kissed his cheek one more time and they parted.
Abby placed the two hairs in one of her machines and sat uneasily in her chair, hating the wait the most, but this time was different, this time she already knew what the computer would say, she just hated that Gibbs wouldn't be the one to tell her. Unless on the off chance she was wrong, which she figured was a very very small chance, tomorrow would be interesting.
A/N: Okay well, not a lot more into Hannah's background but next chapter I promise I will reveal more, also Abby and Gibbs will have an argument and he still refuses to spill about Hannah. Oh and for those of you who didn't pick up on my subtle clues Abby ran a DNA test on Hannah and Gibbs to see if they were related, sorry if I didn't make that clear enough. R&R, the more reviews the quicker I work and the quicker I post so if you read this review weather you liked it or not.
A little tid bit from the next chapter hopfully to motivate you to review…hint hint
"Tony please don't! Its private for a reason!" Tony responded by laughing as he pushed the button to turn the monitor on receiving an angry groan from Abby, as she caught him in a head lock she attempted to turn off the computer unsuccessfully. As the computer warmed up Abby struggled to get Tony out of the room but froze when she felt him go limp, watching the smile on his face disappear she whipped her head to the monitor, "I can explain!"
LOL stupid question for anyone who wants to answer, okay over the weekend I dyed my hair dark brown and bleached it underneath, and sometime this week or next I'm dying the bleached part some color I have it narrowed down to, Blue (like royal blue), Hot pink, Lime green, or Purple…any suggestions or even different colors, anything's possible.
