The blonde woman strode quickly to the elevator and pushed the down button, her fingers shaking. She wasn't sure what she'd gotten herself into, but she didn't like it. An elevator arrived, and she stepped in, glad that the enclosed space was empty. Digging around in her purse, she found a pair of sunglasses and popped them on.
Outside of the NCIS HQ, she got into her car and clutched the wheel with both hands as she backed out of the parking lot and pulled away down the street. Her conversation with Kate kept replaying in her mind. She's married to him. I don't want to ruin their relationship. An internal battle was taking place as she pulled into another parking lot and got out of her car and glanced at her watch. Good. There was still time to back out.
Hurrying through the doors of the building, she was directed to a room with several chairs. Flopping down onto one of them, she told the person sitting in front of her, "I can't do it."
The man frowned. "Why not?"
The woman took off her sunglasses. "You didn't tell me that he was married. Or that his wife was pregnant."
Her companion leaned back in his chair. "Well that's the point of this whole thing. To ruin their marriage."
Her face paled. "I can't do that."
The man leaned closer to her. "Listen, I can tell that you're uncomfortable with this. I have a proposition to make. Would one million dollars convince you to carry out this plan?"
She fidgeted and clutched her Prada bag closer to her. "Well…"
The man's eyes gleamed. "Make it two million."
The woman looked up. "Deal."
A smile slithered across his face. "Good. Leave the rest up to me."
The blonde nodded and stood up. Shakily, she made her way out the door and into the bright sunlight. The sun's rays did nothing to warm her up.
Kate sighed and leaned on the doorframe of the room. She could hear Tony swearing at the kitchen oven, which wouldn't turn on. He'd have to stop that, of course, when the baby was born.
Stepping into the dimly lit room, Kate made her way to the little crib with blue and pink blankets lining it. The entire room was decorated in blue and pink. The sex of the baby had yet to be revealed, but Kate wanted so desperately to start decorating its room.
Running a hand along the soft fleece sheets, Kate couldn't help but feel that everything was perfect. She wasn't one to believe in perfection, but this felt so right. She was exactly where she wanted to be in life: a loving husband, a good job, and a baby.
Crossing her fingers, Kate prayed that everything would stay exactly as it was.
Kate and Tony arrived early to work the next day. McGee wasn't there yet, and neither was Gibbs. There was one person standing by their desks though: the blonde woman from yesterday.
The woman saw them approached and hurried towards them. "Tony!" she exclaimed happily, and went right on to give Tony a big hug. "It's so good to see you again!" Kate made a face.
Tony managed to push the woman off him. Smiling politely, he asked, "And you are?"
The woman frowned. "It's me Hon. Liz."
Mentally, Tony did a brief scan of the list of woman he'd dated. He certainly didn't remember a Liz. Well, he might as well humor her. "Right. Liz. How are things?"
Liz smiled and walked Tony to his desk. "You might want to sit down. I've got some big news."
"Excuse me," Kate interrupted. "But if this concerns my husband, then I'd like to hear it too."
A look of recognition flashed over Liz's face. "Oh! I remember you. But I'm not sure if you want to hear this."
Kate was getting annoyed. Who the hell was this woman and what did she want? Her attitude was certainly unnerving. "I want to hear this," she assured Liz.
"All right then." Turning back to Tony, Liz asked, "Do you remember when we slept together a month ago?"
Kate swung toward Tony, her eyes flashing in disbelief. Tony looked confused. "Uh…no?"
Liz moved some things off Tony's desk and sat on it. "Oh honey, you were so drunk that night, I'm not surprised you don't remember it. But don't worry, you were great."
Tony glanced at Kate. "Listen. I have no clue who you are, and I don't think you have the right to come in and tell me that I slept with you last month. I'm married, and I haven't been with anyone but my wife."
Liz sighed and shook her head. Flipping her hair over her shoulder, she said, "Tony, it only gets worse."
The married pair turned to look at the blonde.
"I'm pregnant with your baby."
