Gibbs was at his desk on the phone with the Director and McGee was on the phone with the sherriff.
Kate had been having some pain for the last 5 minutes and just as she was slowly getting up she collapsed in pain.
"TONY!" Kate screamed in pain as she fell to her knees embracing her heavily contracting stomach.
"Kate!" Gibbs rushed over to her cause Tony was in ballistics."It's okay just breathe." Gibbs said kneeling down and putting her head on his lap. "McGee call an ambulance! Ziva call Tony!" Gibbs called out firmly.
"On it Gibbs. Hang in there Kate." Ziva said reassuringly and quickly checked to make sure the baby wasn't already on it's way now.
Kate laid there with her legs up and her hands embracing her contracting belly. Wishing Tony would hurry and get to her.
"On it boss..." McGee said running to his phone.
Kate was in so much pain and she felt alot of pressure but then as soon as she tensed her water broke but that did not stop the pain.
"It hurts Gibbs..." Kate said with tears in her eyes.
Tony ran out of the elevator and bent down to her level and put his arms around her waist. Tony gently embraced her belly holding her hand..gently rocking her.
"Where's the ambulance boss?" Tony called out in a panic.
Sirens sounded from outside.
"It's here Tony." McGee said running to the elevator waiting to direct them.
The stairdoors busted open and Abby ran in.
"Oh my god...Kate!" She said panicing "I'm okay" Kate said. Then another wave hit her..."Ahhhh, Tony! Where's Bailee?" she said breathing really hard.
"with her uncle...Ducky..." Abby said while worrying about Kate "Her uncle? Gibbs said "She calls Ducky that..." Abby said smiling while putting a cold cloth on Kate' head.
"Where's Agent DiNozzo..." The paramedic asked "She's here.." Gibbs said putting his hand up so they could see him since he was kneeling down.
They loaded Kate onto the gurney and took her into the elevator.
Downstairs the ambulance was waiting and drove off with the sirens on.
"Hold on Kate...I'm right here." Tony said holding her hand and stroking her head..while trying to supress the urge to cry along with his wife.
As the ambulance was driving to the hospital Kate was moaning in pain.
"Were almost the Agent DiNozzo...just breathe." The driver told her.
The ambulance pulled up and they took down the gurney and rushed her into the emerge.
"Excuse me you're not allowed in here sir." The nurse said to Tony.
"That's my wife and my baby ma'am." He said with his badge in hand.
"Go in sir." The nurse said going in with him.
"Thank you" Tony walks in and they are just starting Kate on an IV
"ahhhh I hate needles" Kate whined.
"I'm here Kate. Just hold my hand honey." Tony said holding Kate's hand.
"I can't look..." She said putting her head towards Tony, who started stroking her head.
The nurse put the needle through the vain she found and taped it down and opened the valve to allow the drip to start.
The nurse checked to see how far Kate had dilated so far.
"You are 5 centimeters right now...you should have a baby to late afternoon. I will be back regularly to check on your progression Mrs.DiNozzo"
"You alright Kate? Tony asked her as he sat down in a chair next to her.
"I'm fine I just wish it was time to push now. I can't handle the pain. I know it's going to get worse though..Please, don't leave me Tony" Kate said breathing lightly and holding Tony's hand.
" I won't Kate, I will be right here..where I always know I should be..at your side..for now, for ever." Tony said with tears welling up in his eyes.
Gibbs and the team walked in and Gibbs stepped forward.
"Hi, Kate..surely this isn't enough to keep you off the job?" Gibbs said with a smile on his face.
" Oh no...of course not..every woman can run around while 5 centimeters dialated and there water ready to burst!" Kate said laughing
"Seriously though. I am in some pain but I think I'll survive for a while before I need an epidural." Kate said with a little giggle. "Owww...okay no laughing. It hurts"
"I forgot to mention that hurts..." Tony said playfully.
"I think I kinda figured that out Tony." All of a sudden a contraction hit her and she sat up and held her hand out to Tony. "Owww...oh god." She said clenching her teeth
"Breathe baby, just breathe..." Tony says as he starts imitating breathing techniques for Kate
Kate starting to imitate what Tony was doing and clenched his hand breathing.
"Owww...oh god..it hurts..please...make it stop!" Kate said closing her eyes to concentrate on her slow breathing.
"It's okay honey it will be over soon." Tony said with sympathy
