It was 4 weeks later and Tony was sitting in the hospital room with Kate after x-raying Tony's leg. He sat whistling to some song that made Kate laugh.

"Looking to be a musician Tony?" Kate asked smirking at him.

"O come on Kate, with your singing and my ways with instruments we will be the best band in town." Tony joked.

"Well Mr. DiNozzo your leg seems to have recovered just fine, take it easy for a week or two but you should return to field work at the end of next week." The doctor said interrupting Kate's and Tony's conversation.

"Well, thank God for that!" Tony said loudly.

They got up and Kate thanked the doctor before walking out,

"Ah, life in the field, cant wait for it. You know how hard it is on desk duty." Tony said slipping his arm around Kate's back.

"Mmm of course Tony, very hard indeed." Kate said laughing slightly.

"So my little Kate, when are you coming back to work, I mean you are coming back right?" Tony added quickly when he saw her face slightly drop.

"Tony I stopped working for NCIS over a year ago, most of them would have probably forgotten me, but the director has stood me down, I am not to work at NCIS until they know I am out of danger. I really do want to come back though." Kate said turning to look at him.

"I'm sorry Kate, I should have realised." Tony said giving her a light kiss on her forehead.

The turned around to see a very panic stricken McGee.

"Tim? What's up?" Kate asked slightly worried.

"It's Abby! She's gone into labour! She was at home with my sister and she went into labour and now she's here and I can't find her anywhere!" McGee said loudly still looking like he was going to pass out of adrenaline.
