OFF THE HOOK

Chapter 18

Agent Nick Torres had never been so happy in his entire life. He was going to be a father and with a woman that he loves a great deal. "Elle, you need to calm down, I love you a great deal and I am happy we are going to be parents," Nick says to have Bishop turning to face him with a smile and then moving into his chest to kiss him with passion.

Breaking off the kiss. Nick tells Bishop they will need to talk with Gibbs about rule 12 and our plans to get marry and now the baby. I am wondering whether he is going to give us a hard time about it?" He will announce with taking her hand.

"I don't know about you, I am still hungry. I am going to get two more hot dogs with the works. What about yourself?"

"I know what we need to do is leave the Naval Yards to talk with Gibbs at his house and let him know about the marriage and pregnancy. We need to find out where he stands on it and what he plans to do." Bishop was serious with the request and Nick not going to order the two hot dogs. She pulled out her cell phone to bring his number up onto the main screen.

"I don't think this is a great time to do this with Gibbs only just getting out of the hospital. Maybe when he's feeling better and back to work." Nick insisted...

Driving down the street of the road leading to Gibbs house of 30 plus years. Nick was worried as with Bishop on what was on Gibbs's mind. It could be anything other than the fact he knows about them in their relationship and plans.

Moving the vehicle on the curve since both the truck and Gibbs wife's vehicle was sitting in the driveway. Bishop was nervous about moving out of the car with locking the door. She looked across the street for where Phineas is going to be staying once the deal is sealed. His Aunt and Uncle with help from the real estate company to have them move in.

The door was not locked at all with Gibbs was sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper and having coffee when he hears Bishop and Nick walking in.

"What's on your mind, Elle and Nick?" Placing his glasses onto the table...

"Sir, we need to discuss with you about us in general for when it involves rule 12 of yours." Bishop had to say with bringing up the rule.

"Matter in fact I was waiting for this moment to happen." He had gotten up from his chair with grabbing his cane to move over to the tin container he had sitting on his coffee table. "Come with me you two, I have something to show you in person and with your own eyes." He opened up the container to show then the written words "NEVER DATE A COWORKER." He throws the paper into the fireplace to shock both younger agents.

"OMG GIBBS I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Do you really mean it that the rule no longer exists?" Nick had to say with extreme emotion...

"Yes, that is correct Nick and Bishop. I am always tired of holding both of you back when it comes to love. I have known from the very beginning that you two had a connection and had gotten worst after the accident with Xazier running Nick and you down."

"Gibbs it was why we needed to come here to tell you that we want to get marry along with the fact that I am pregnant as well that just might need a replacement to take over my spot."

"Yeah, I know. I only just found out and no I won't say from who Bishop. But I am very happy for both of you. I plan on doing the same with my wife Jack." He smiled with getting away from the fireplace to close the tin container.
