AUTHORS NOTES 1: Just a warning I screwed up. I forgot to add the episode Chained into this story. So it will be later in the story.

BETHESDA HOSPITAL ICU WAITING ROOM

JUNE- 13TH -2005.

Tony and McGee were watching something on the overhead tv. Neither really talking. McGee spoke finally. "Sierra ask where Abby is?" Tim asked.

Tony nodded. "Last night she had a nightmare and slept with me." Tony said.

Tim smiled. "She changed you Tony. Her and Abby." Tim said.

Tony smiled softly. "I sat here thinking of what would happen if Abby didn't wake up. I wouldn't wanna live." Tony admitted.

Tim nodded. "She feels the same thing." Tim said.

Tony smiled. "Gibbs and Ducky will probably come by in a while." Tony said.

Tim nodded. "I'm gonna go and change for work. You call if you need anything Tony." Tim said.

Tony smiled. "Will do." Tony said and watched Tim get on the elevator. He sighed and sat down looking on his left ring finger where his gold wedding band was. Tony smiled when he remembered how he proposed.

NCIS ABBY'S LAB

OCTOBER- 25TH -2002

Tony came into the lab to see Gibbs and Kate already there. Tony sighed and walked over to listen to rest of what Abby was saying. When Abby noticed him there she smiled. "Hey." She said.

Tony smiled. "Hey. Gibbs Nelson's father is here wants to talk to you." Tony said.

Gibbs nodded. "K. Thanks Abs." Gibbs said heading for the elevator.

Kate looked after him. "Um were we supposed to follow?" Kate asked.

Tony shrugged. "I'm not unless he calls." Tony said.

Kate smiled. "I'll go see if McGee found anything on the brother." Kate said leaving.

Tony smirked. "So we still on for tonight?" Tony asked.

Abby nodded. "7 still the time?" Abby asked moving her mouse around.

Tony nodded. "Yeah. I'll meet you in the bull pen. Or do you want me to pick you up at your house?" Tony asked.

Abby smiled. "Here is fine. Go see what Gibbs wants." Abby said.

Tony nodded and was about to go to the elevator when he decided to stop. "Oh but I must have something." Tony said.

Abby looked at him. "And what is that?" Abby asked.

Tony leaned over and kissed her. "My kiss of course. A leading lady must always kiss the lady man before he leaves the scene." Tony said.

Abby laughed. "Ok. Good thing I love you." Abby said. Tony smirked and kissed her once again. They were interrupted by Abby's phone ringing.

Abby hit the speaker button. "Yes?" Abby asked.

"Tell Dinozzo to get his ass up here Now." Gibbs barked.

Abby smirked. "K. He's coming." Abby said and hung up.

Tony sighed. "Guess I better go. Before Gibbs decides to come chew my ass out." Tony said.

Abby smiled. "Yeah. I'll see you later." Abby said watching Tony walk to the elevator.

NCIS

Tony had planned a big dinner for Abby. But before they could get out Gibbs wanted them t come through the bull pen. So here they were Abby was sitting at Tony's desk Tony had pulled a chair up to the opposite side of his desk for her. Kate had rolled her chair over to sit in front of Abby. "Ok here's the gift." Kate said.

Abby opened the gift and smiled. "Aww. So when do we get to go?" Abby asked.

Kate smirked. "Next weekend. The spa said that the reservation is refundable. I made sure." Kate said.

Abby nodded. "Cool." Abby said.

After all the gifts were given Abby smiled. "Thank you." She said.

Tony received an Instant message from Kate. "Did you get her anything?" She asked. Tony nodded and pulled out a card.

"Abby here you go." Tony handed her the card. Abby opened it and smiled. She read the card and smiled. But wasn't expecting the Ps. part.

"Ps. Do me the honor of becoming my wife. Marry me?" Abby looked to Tony who smiled at her.

"Well Abby what's your answer?" Tony asked.

Abby smiled. "Yes." Abby said. Tony smiled even wider and leaned over the desk and kissed her. Kate Gibbs McGee and Ducky all looked at each other confused.

Gibbs cleared his throat. "Umm guys what was the question?" Gibbs asked.

Tony smiled over at Abby. "Should we tell em?" Tony asked.

Abby shook her head. "Nah let them figure it out." Abby said.

Gibbs glared at Tony. "Dinozzo spilled or you're fired. Your choice." Gibbs said.

Abby turned around. "You wouldn't Gibbs." Abby said.

Gibbs back down. "No I wouldn't." Gibbs said. The whole time the 3 people were arguing McGee picked up the card.

When he finally stated. "They're engaged." McGee said.

Kate Gibbs and Ducky all said. "WHAT?" Which made Tony and Abby burst out laughing.

Tony turned to McGee. "How'd you guess it Probie?" Tony asked.

McGee held up the card. "Read the card Tony." McGee said.

Abby reached over and snatched the card from him. "So ain't cool McGee." Abby said.

"Congratulations you guys. I'm happy for both of you." Kate said hugging Abby.

"Thank you." Abby said.

Tony smiled. "Yeah Kate Thanks. Now if you guys will excuse us. I have something else for my Fiancee. Abby ready to go." Tony asked.

Abby nodded. "Yes I am." Abby said standing and turning to everyone.

"See you guys Monday." Abby said while her and Tony walked out.

UNKNOWN RESTAURANT

Tony and Abby sat at a back table of a popular upscale Italian restaurant. Tony smiled at Abby. "Thank you." Tony said.

Abby looked at him. "What for?" Abby asked.

Tony took her hand in his. "For saying Yes. For changing me." Tony said.

Abby smiled. "My pleasure Tony. But you don't have to Thank me." Abby said.

Tony smiled. "Oh and what do I have to do to show my gratitude?" Tony asked.

Abby smiled. "Hmmm. Where's the ring?" Abby asked. Tony reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. When he opened it Abby gasped.

"Oh my Tony. It's gorgeous." Abby said.

Tony smiled. "My dad may not like me dating you. But I called my brother and he helped me get this ring out of the safe. With one exception." Tony said.

Abby raised his eye brow. "Oh? What is that?" Abby asked.

Tony smiled. "We have dinner with him and his wife. Up to you. But he wants to meet you." Tony said.

Abby nodded. "Sounds good to me. So Mr. Dinozzo are you gonna put the ring on my finger or are you gonna wait until our wedding day?" Abby asked.

Tony smiled and slipped the ring on Abby's finger and leaned over and kissed her.

PRESENT

Tony was startled out of his thoughts when something was placed in his hand. "Dinozzo wake up." Gibbs said.

Tony jerked and looked at Gibbs. "Sorry. Guess I fell asleep." Tony said.

Gibbs nodded. "Don't worry about it. You heard anything?" Gibbs asked.

Tony shook his head. "No. Visiting hours start in an hour." Tony said.

Gibbs nodded and handed him a bag. "Go into the bathroom and change clothes. Kate and Gerald are bringing Sierra by in 30 minutes. You don't wanna be stale for your baby." Gibbs said.

Tony nodded. "Thanks. I'll be right back." Tony said taking the bag and heading into the bathroom. Gibbs was right he didn't wanna scare Sierra. That would come later when Abby was allowed to see her.
