Kate and Tony walked with a spring in their step into the office Monday morning. Once everyone was in the office they got up and walked into the middle of the room.
"Everyone." Tony started and they all looked up at him. "I'd just like to say this now…Kate and I are getting married." Kate and Tony grinned.
"Congratulations!" Came from various directions. Kate and Tony grinned and Kate leaned into Tony.
It was about midday and Tony was sitting on Kate's desk talking to her.
"We should invite everyone to have a drink tonight…it would be cool." Tony suggested.
"Yeah, it would be." Kate said smiling and getting up.
It was 8 that evening and the whole team was at a small bar/restaurant and were sitting down at a table with their meals. Abby was able to get a babysitter for Rebecca and was able to come as well. It was the first night that Tim and Abby had been able to spend together out somewhere else. After dinner they all wandered over to the bar. Kate of course had non-alcoholic drinks. She didn't get any strange looks or questioning looks.
"Do you want to dance?" Jacob asked Ziva.
"Sure." Ziva said and Jacob led them onto the dance floor.
Only a few minutes later Tim and Abby wandered on. Gibbs and Ducky stood in the corner chatting. Ducky looked like he was telling Gibbs one of his many stories. For the first time Gibbs looked as though he was listening. Kate smiled at Tony walked over and sat next to her.
"You ok?" Tony asked placing his hand on hers.
"Yeah, I couldn't be better." Kate said smiling up at her fiancé.
"You want to dance?" Tony asked squeezing her hand.
"Yeah sure." Kate said rising with him and they stepped onto the dance floor.
When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you
touched me,
I felt love.
And after all this time, you're still the one I love.
Kate leaned into Tony as they slowly made it around the floor. She was so happy. Her life was great. She was getting married, she was having a baby, and she was happy. Just these thoughts brought a smile to her face as leaned her head into Tony's chest. She would sometimes see Ziva and Jacob dancing or Tim and Abby. Everyone was happy, everything was right. Her thoughts for Jacob had changed. His before rough attitude had changed and now he would respect everyone, bring lunch in, get coffee and over all being helpful. Kate had sat down and talked to him several times and he was always friendly and nice. This team worked well together and everyone had everyone's back.
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there
someday
Tony smiled as he pulled Kate closer to him. Just the thought of her in his arms and their baby on the way made him smile again. Abby and Tim looked happy as well. As much as they loved their daughter, sometimes they needed a break just to be with each other. Tony moved looked down at Kate, her head leaning against his chest. He closed his eyes for a second, taking everything in.
They said,
"I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us
holding on
We're still together still going strong
Gibbs and Ducky watched everyone. Everyone in the team were dancing and having a good time.
"I told there was no point in making rule 12." Ducky said and Gibbs smiled. "Well I'm off, mother will be wondering where I am."
Gibbs nodded as Ducky left and he turned around to his team. He had known Ziva and Jacob were together as well. It was funny to think that everyone thought he didn't know what was going on. He knew, he knew everything that was going on. Jacob had finally bucked his ideas up and worked hard. He had even learned the always bring Gibbs coffee if you want to live rule. Hey maybe I should replace rule 12 with that. Gibbs chuckled to himself.
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The
one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The
only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss
good night
Tim smiled again. This was a good night. He was able to hold his wife like he used. God bless babysitters. He wasn't worried either. The babysitter was his sister, and he knew she was good with babies. He was happy for Kate and Tony. After so long; they were finally able to be together and happy. He looked down at Abby who also looked happy as she moved with him. He kissed the top of her head and she looked up at him. She mouthed 'I love you'. Tim smiled and leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
Ain't
nothin' better
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we
would be missin
Abby danced happily. This is what she missed. Just being able to be with Tim. Their anniversary was coming up and she hoped that Tim's sister would be able to take care of Rebecca while they go away. She loved their daughter so much, but right now she just wanted to spend some time alone with Tim. Just being able spend time with him without worrying about Rebecca or needing to care for her. She smiled as Tim kissed her head and she looked up and mouthed 'I love you'. She was happy when he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
They said,
"I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us
holding on
We're still together still going strong
They hadn't been together very long but Jacob could feel that him and Ziva had something close. Something he had never had with any other woman he had dated. There was something different about her, she had fire, she was determined, and it was something he had never seen in another woman. He was happy for Tony and Kate. Despite not making the best first impressions but he hoped that would change. He had tried to make friends with them all and he thought he was getting there. He had been able to sit down and talk to them all politely and nicely, and being invited out to have drinks with everyone to celebrate Kate and Tony's engagement was a bonus. Jacob smiled. Life was going great.
(You're
still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I
belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still
the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I
dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ziva smiled to herself as she danced with Jacob. As much as she didn't want to admit it, she was falling in love with this guy. They had spent some 'quality' time together in the last few weeks and Ziva didn't regret one single moment of it. She felt that Jacob was defiantly fitting in. All of them made a good team. Everyone knew what everyone else was thinking and everything. This made Ziva comfortable, knowing she could get into a situation and know that someone will be there to back her up. Jacob pulled her closer to him and she leant further into his embrace. She was happy, and she could see that Kate and Tony were happy too. It was good to meat Kate, she would always see Tony looking at a picture of her, while he thought she was dead, now they were getting married and they made such a cute cupel.
(You're

Look how far we've come my baby
After the dance every member of the team came back to the table and sat down to chat some more. The rest of the night was filled with laughter and happiness. They had no idea what the rest of the week had in store for them, that in the following week, one of them would be dead.
