Tony was sitting at his desk doing a report when Kate came in. "Hey." Tony said.
Kate turned and smiled. "Hey. How's Abby doing?" Kate asked.
Tony nodded. "Good. Sore. Mad cause she can't come to work." He said.
Kate smirked. "Well the next 3 weeks will fly by in no time. Your sister in law staying with her?" Kate asked. Annie Dinozzo had came to DC to help Tony with Sierra and to stay with Abby when she came home. Annie and Abby had became friends through the phones.
"Yeah. In Annie's words. 'She needs someone to warn her that you'll screw up." Tony said.
"Yeah being married to you Tony she already knew that." Gibbs said coming into the bull pen.
"Well Boss in my defense I have changed." Tony said. Gibbs and Kate smirked.
"Yes Tony you have." Kate said.
"I know in May it was 4 years but I still can't believe you settled down." Tim McGee said. Tony smiled he had doubts tho when him and Abby were engaged.
FEBRUARY - 4TH
NCIS ABBY'S LAB
Tony and Kate came down to get some evidence from Abby when they came off the elevator they heard a male voice standing in the main lab laughing. "No way." Abby said. Tony and Kate made their way into the room to see a man about McGee's age maybe younger talking amicably about lab stuff.
"Hey Abs." Kate said. Tony stepped into the room and stood just behind Kate and Abby.
"Hey. Gibbs results are on the desk." Abby said.
"Who's you friend?" Kate asked.
"Oh sorry. This is Tom Paterson. We went to college together. He's in town on an assignment. He now works for MIT. Tom this is Special Agents Kate Todd and Tony Dinozzo." Abby said.
Kate smiled. 'What was Abby like in college?" Kate asked. Tony stood back and watched the man with a close eye.
"She was like she is now. Only she's tamer now." Tom said. Tony noticed Tom eyeing Abby. It took all his self control to not take Abby's hand and kiss it so the guy would back off.
"You know we should really go and catch up. My brother and sister were asking about you the other day." He said.
"Well maybe sometime while you're in town." She said.
Tom nodded. "Sure." He said.
Tony cleared his throat. "We better get back upstairs before Gibbs sends McGee to see where we are. Or worse himself." Tony said grabbing Kate's arm.
"Nice to meet you both." Tom said.
Tony nodded. 'Same to you." Tony said.
Kate smiled. "You too. See you later Abby." Kate said .
LATER THAT DAY
NCIS
Abby came up to the bull pen and Tom was behind her. They were still laughing. Gibbs and McGee looked up hearing the laughter. Tony sighed and looked at the computer screen he was working on. "Abby." Gibbs said.
Abby sobered up and smiled. "Special Agent Jethro Gibbs this is Tom Paterson. Me and Tom went to college together. His younger brother and I went to high school together." Abby said.
Gibbs nodded. "Mr. Paterson." Gibbs said.
Abby looked at her boss. "Gibbs Tom was hoping to shadow you and the team this week. Is that ok?" Abby said. Tony visibly rolled his eyes at Kate. Kate hid her smile.
Gibbs nodded. "He can follow Tony and Kate to question our suspect in Richmond." Gibbs said. Kate and Tony looked up at him.
"Gibbs is that such a good idea?" Kate asked getting to her feet.
Gibbs looked at her. "Yeah. When you head out get him a visitor pass." Gibbs said.
Tony nodded. "Will do Boss. We'll call if we need help." Tony said getting his gun out of the desk drawer.
Tom smiled. "Nice to meet you Agent Gibbs hopefully I'll see you later." Tom said.
Kate motioned for him to follow her. "We'll meet you at the truck Tony." Kate said. Tony waited til they were safely on the elevator before he looked at Gibbs Abby and McGee. Abby walked over to him and hugged him.
"I know what you're thinking." Abby said.
Tony shook his head. "No you don't." Tony said.
Abby looked at him. "What do you mean." Abby asked.
Tony sighed and caught sight of Gibbs glare. "Nothing. I'll see you later." Tony said heading towards the elevator. Leaving Abby to ponder what was going on.
NEXT MORNING
NCIS DUCKY'S MORGUE
Ducky was working on another man when Abby came in. "Hey Ducky." Abby said.
"Abigail how are you doing this fine morning?" Ducky asked.
Abby sighed. 'Not good Duck. Tony is not himself." Abby said.
Ducky nodded. "It wouldn't have nothing to do with that young man. What's his name Tom Paterson wasn't it?" Ducky asked.
Abby shrugged. 'It might. But why. Me and Tom didn't do nothing. Yeah me and him went to college but we were just talking." Abby said.
Ducky nodded. "But Tony sees it a little different. He sees the man eyeing you. And he also sees you not seeing that." Ducky said.
"I guess so." Abby said.
Ducky smiled. "Just let him know you're still his. And he should be ok." Ducky said.
Abby smiled. "Thanks Ducky." Abby said leaving.
ABBY'S LAB
Abby came into her lab to see Tom sitting at her desk. "Hi." She said. Tom smiled. "Hi." He said. When he stood up he walked over to Abby and kissed her. Abby pushed him away and looked at crossly. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" She asked.
Tom smiled. "Claiming my prize." He said. Just then Tony McGee Kate and Gibbs came in.
"I don't know who you think you are but what you just did was not acceptable." Abby said walking back into the main lab.
Gibbs looked at Abby. 'Something wrong Abs." Gibbs asked.
Abby shook her head. "No. You're blood sample is right here." She said handing it to him.
Tom came over to her. "Look was I wrong to assume that you were hinting that you wanted that back there?" He asked.
Abby looked at him. "Yes very wrong." She said.
Tom looked at the other agents. "Can I ask why not?" He asked.
Abby looked at him. "You can ask. Don't mean I'll give you an answer." She said.
"Truth is I'm engaged. And am very happy." She said.
Tom nodded. "Whoever he is. He's lucky." Tom said.
Tony nodded. "He knows trust me." He said. Abby turned and smiled at him.
"I think I'll be going then." Tom said. Gibbs smiled and motioned for Kate and McGee to follow him.
'We'll see you out." Kate said. Once the elevator shut Tony stepped up to Abby and smiled.
"I guess you noticed I had been avoiding you." Tony said.
Abby smirked. "Kinda hard not to notice. Was it cause of Tom?" She asked.
Tony nodded. "Yeah I thought you would want him and not me. Cause he's more your league than I am." Tony said. Abby watched as Tony sat down on one of the stools. She walked over and placed her hands on both of his cheeks.
"I said yes to you. I'm marrying you in May. Not Tom. And I am truly Happy." Abby said.
Tony smiled and kissed her. "Thank you." He said.
Abby smiled. "Any time babe." Abby said.
PRESENT
Tony was startled when a piece of paper hit him in the head. Tony picked it up and read it. "Stop day dreaming and get to work. Before Gibbs yells at you. Uncle Tony." It read. Tony smirked back at Kate. The last part finally dawning on him. He smiled even bigger.
