Kate couldn't wait to get home and tell Gibbs. Although she knew he would be apprehensive about the whole idea, but she knew he would eventually come around.
She walked into the house and instantly smelt steaks cooking. She wasn't too fond of red meat, but there was just something about his steaks that she could not resist. She continued into the kitchen where he was just plating up the food. She walked in and wrapped her arms around him from behind and placed a kiss to his back.
"Someone is in a good mood" he said with a smile as he put the pan in the sink.
"Well I have some news" she said excitedly. Gibbs turned to glance at her.
"Which is?" he asked when she didn't continue. She finally let him go.
"I will tell you over dinner" Gibbs took their plates to the table while she grabbed them a drink. She came back over and took her seat next to him, thanked him for dinner and took a sip of her wine before digging in.
"So are you going to keep me waiting?" he asked through a mouth full of food. Normally she would tell him off, but she couldn't help find it funny that he could not be patient.
"Well, for a while I have been thinking about taking a few days off. You know just to unwind and relax. Then I started thinking that I am pretty sure you haven't taken a day off in years, and it's probably been longer since you have been on a holiday. So," she paused for dramatic effect. The look on his face told her she was taking way too long.
"I booked us five days at a resort in Florida" she said excitedly. Gibbs stopped chewing and looked at her. It was clear she was not joking.
"Kate, I have to put in for leave and then have it approved. I can't just up and leave" he said as he finally swallowed his mouth full. Kate rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I know. That is why I have taken care of everything. It isn't for a few weeks, but I have worked everything out with your Director and McGee. You don't have to worry about a thing. Just pack a bag, or I can even do that for you, but just make sure you are on the plane with me" she smiled. Although the thought of going on a holiday made him tense, seeing how much trouble Kate had actually gone too to plan all this, it actually made him relax. He smiled and leaned over and kissed her softly.
"Thank you" he said softly. Kate's grin grew even more and he could tell she was now even more excited.
"I promise you won't have to do a thing. I will take care of everything" she promised as she continued to eat. Gibbs nodded. He trusted her. And how bad could it honestly be. Five days in Florida with Kate. In a bikini. That didn't sound bad at all.
Gibbs thanked the bar tender, grabbed the two drinks and headed back along the side of the pool to the two sun beds. He took a seat on the one in the shade and admired the backside of the woman occupying the other bed.
"You're drink is here" he finally said, causing her to smile as she turned her head to look at him.
"Thank you" she leaned over and took a small sip.
"It's perfect" she smiled and returned to reading her book.
"Have you put sunscreen on?" he asked as he sipped his own drink. She shook her head.
"Nope. Was waiting for my handsome boyfriend to help me" she grinned and looked at him. He smiled and nodded. Grabbed the sunscreen from her bag as she moved her hair out of the way and started spreading the white cream on her back.
"All done" Gibbs put the sunscreen down, and wiped his hands on his towel. He sat back on his sun bed and closed his eyes. Kate was reading her book, but turned to look at him. She grinned as she ran her eyes up and down his body. She closed her book and turned to face him.
"I think you should come join me in the pool" she smiled as she stood up from her chair and made her way over to the edge of the pool. Gibbs smiled and got up and followed her.
"I thought you said in the pool?" Gibbs said as he stood near Kate, who still hadn't gotten in the water yet. She smiled as she looked up at him.
"Just getting used to it first" she said sweetly. Gibbs smiled before finally diving into the water, splashing Kate in the process. When he emerged, hair wet and plastered to his face, he laughed as he saw the look Kate gave him for wetting her. He swam over to her so he was in between her dangling legs.
"That was not funny" she said seriously, which only caused him to laugh more.
"It was a little funny" he paused "So, enjoying it so far?" he asked, changing the subject. She finally nodded and smiled.
"I am. It's nice to have no interruptions" she looked around at the other occupants of the pool. There were only a few kids in the pool with their parents. She felt Gibbs' hands on her legs, making a tingle shoot up her body. She didn't know why she thought about it then, perhaps it was the children around, or the fact she actually couldn't remember the last time they hadn't had sex due to her menstrual cycle. She looked at Gibbs, gave him a small smile.
"I will be right back" she told him quickly before getting up and heading back over to their chairs. She grabbed her phone, went to her period tracker app and checked the dates. Her heart sank and as she looked at the dates.
"Shit" she said to herself. She grabbed her dress and pulled it on, grabbed their room key and her wallet, and went back to Gibbs.
"Hey I will be back, I just have to do something real quick" she told him, and before he could ask any questions she ran off.
Kate put the three sticks on the bathroom bench and set a timer for three minutes. She went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, when there was a knock on the door.
"Kate?" she heard Gibbs call from behind the door. She sighed and walked over to open it.
"Have you been here the whole time?" he asked as he stepped inside. Kate closed the door behind him but didn't say anything.
"Kate, talk to me" he urged her. She sighed and looked at him.
"Sit down" she said, and without another word he did as she said. She walked into the bathroom, grabbed the three sticks and walked back out to sit down next to him. She reached out and placed the sticks on the coffee table in front of them. She instantly noticed his body go stiff as he noticed what they were.
"While we were at the pool I realised that we haven't been interrupted by my period in sometime. So when I checked my app, I freaked out and ran to get these. I was going to tell you when I knew for sure" she explained to him. He nodded, reached over and squeezed her hand. Before he could say anything, her alarm went off, indicating that they were ready to check the results. She sighed and picked up the first one. It was a minus. She picked up the second one, also a minus. The third was like the first two, a minus. She let out a sigh, but she didn't expect was the tears that started to fall. Gibbs watched her for a moment, before reaching out and wrapping and arm around her shoulders and pulling her to him. He kissed her head and held her until she finally pulled back and looked at him.
"I'm sorry. I just got really scared and now I'm just really relieved" she said as she wiped her face. Gibbs looked at her, brows furrowed.
"I love you and I love us. I love the way things are now. If I was pregnant it would have changed, well not everything but a lot" Gibbs wiped her tears away and made her look at him.
"If it was to happen, it happens Katie. Whatever happens, we will deal with it" he told her softly. This made her smile and she nodded. She leaned in and kissed him softly.
"How about we order room service and watch a movie?" he suggested. Kate smiled and nodded.
"You know me so well" she kissed him once more.
Kate woke, the only light in the room was the glow from behind the thick curtains of their hotel room. When she fully opened her eyes, she saw the bare back of her boyfriend, the sheet only just covering his bare backside. She grinned as she moved closer to his body.
After yesterday's events, they had stayed inside and watched movie after movie, eventually falling asleep after a very soft and intimate love making session.
She ran her hand down his bare back, down under the sheet to rest on his bare ass.
"Kate" came his muffled voice, making her laugh softly.
"Yes, Jethro?" she answered as she leaned down and placed kisses down the centre of his back.
"What are you doing?" he asked, trying to turn to look at her. She climbed onto his back, kissing the back of his neck, now making him laugh.
"Well, I thought you could use a massage" she continued to place kisses along his neck as her hands moved up and down his back.
"Now why don't I believe that" he felt her hands go lower and stop on his hips.
"Would you like me to stop?" she asked, and without giving her a minute to realise what was happening, he rolled them over so he was now on top of her, making her laugh. She wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned as she could already feel his excitement pressing into her leg.
"Hmmm it seems like you have a different idea" she grinned as he leaned down and sucked on her neck, causing a moan to escape her mouth. She wrapped a leg around him to pull his body down to hers.
Then the phone rang. They both paused for a moment as they tried to figure out what it was making the noise. They had both agreed to put their phones in a draw for this trip for they had no distractions. When it stopped, they continued what they had started, when the sound started again, causing Kate to groan in frustration.
Kate was the one who got up to retrieve the phone. When she opened the draw she saw it was Gibbs' phone that was ringing. She saw 'Sloane' on the screen. She hadn't met Sloane yet, but had heard her name mentioned a few times. She sighed and picked it up.
"Hello?" she answered as calmly as possible.
"Hello? Gibbs?"the woman asked on the other end of the phone.
"No, he is a little indisposed at the moment. Can I take a message?" she couldn't help but roll her eyes. This was the exact reason why they had agreed to put their phones away so they could not be contacted.
"Uh no, it's okay. Sorry I interrupted" and with that the woman hung up. Kate sighed and put the phone back in the draw, but not before turning it off to make sure they would not be disturbed again.
When she got back to the bedroom, ready to continue what they had started, but sadly it seemed that Gibbs had fallen back to sleep. She sighed, a little disappointed but she smiled either way. She decided going back to sleep wasn't a bad idea after all. She climbed back into bed and cuddled up to him and soon she too was fast asleep.
