Gibbs burst into the apartment and rushed to hold Kate's hair back as she threw up. His fatherly instincts were kicking in. Kate had always reminded him of his daughter Kelly and she had a special place in his heart. And now, he could see her heart was breaking.
"Thank you Gibbs, but I'm fine. Just a stomach bug." Kate again lied through her teeth. She didn't want to disappoint Gibbs, who she saw as a father just as much as he saw her as a daughter.
Gibbs pulled out an evidence back and gloves and went into Kate's bathroom trash can. "Where's the asshole that did this to you?" Gibbs wasn't shouting as he held up her positive pregnancy test, now bagged and tagged. Kate almost wished he was.
"He..." Kate knew she couldn't deny her pregnancy any longer but she couldn't admit Brian was really gone.
"Gibbs, Brian left Kate. And he's kicking her out." Abby held Kate's hand.
"Come on. Get your gear. You're moving in. Dinner is at six thirty. Don't be late. And don't think we're done talking." Gibbs turned to leave, to get a cup of coffee and clear his mind.
"Gibbs, I'm so sorry." Kate couldn't think of anything to say but how sorry she was.
"I know. It'll be ok." Gibbs tried to be as comforting as he could, but he wasn't happy, and they both knew it. He left the two women to get Kate ready to move.
Kate packed her bag. A few outfits, pajamas, her toothbrush and makeup. The NCIS hat with the bullet hole Gibbs had given her on her first day. She wrote a note for Brian. "I'm keeping the baby. I don't care what you do with the rest of my stuff." She just wanted to be free from him. Kate grabbed her keys and turned to Abby. "Thank you so much, for everything. Please, keep this between us. Well, us and Gibbs I guess. What I'm trying to say is don't tell McGee."
Abby played coy. "What makes you think I'll even see him?"
"He asked me where to take you out tonight, Abbs. You're welcome."
"Thanks. Good luck with Gibbs' tonight. I'll call you when I get home."
