The whole team walked into autopsy, including Kate, now eight weeks pregnant. She had still managed to keep her secret from Ducky, Tony and McGee but she knew the day was coming when she would have to tell them.

"What do you got Ducky?" Gibbs approached his old friend.

Ducky began his typical speech as Kate looked around. No one else seemed to be as warm as she was feeling. Soon, she began to feel dizzy and faint. "Gibbs..." she whispered, and touched his arm.

Gibbs heard her just in time to catch her as she fell to the floor. "Tony, help me put her on the autopsy table. Sorry Duck. Bit of an emergency over here."

Ducky hadn't noticed Kate faint, as he'd been deep in his explanation of the autopsy. "Oh dear, Caitlin." He rushed to grab her a glass of water and a cool wet towel.

Kate slowly came to, embarrassed and confused. "What...what happened?"

"You fainted my dear. Have you eaten and had enough water today?" Ducky was taking Kate's pulse.

"I made her a breakfast burrito. She hasn't touched her water bottle." Gibbs replied, trying to hide his concern.

"Gibbs." Kate had wanted to keep the fact she was living with him quiet. Almost immediately after glaring at him, she felt a cramp in her lower abdomen. "GIBBS!" Panic shot across her face.

"EVERYBODY MOVE!" Gibbs demanded as helped Kate down from the table and to the restroom. He knocked on the door to be sure there were no women inside. Satisfied it was empty, he led Kate in. "Are you bleeding?"

Kate shut and locked the stall door and pulled down her underwear. Tears filled her eyes.

"Open the door." Gibbs could hear her gasp and start to cry. Kate did as she was told, and Gibbs scooped her up. "We're going to the hospital. I'm not letting you lose this baby."

Gibbs carried Kate back to autopsy. "Ducky, call Abby. Tell her to meet us at the hospital. DiNozzo, McGee, stay here."

"But Gibbs, if there's something wrong with Kate..." McGee tried to argue.

"I said stay here." With that, Gibbs rushed to his car and then to the hospital. He held Kate's hand as he drove.

Kate went back to see the doctor and Gibbs waited in the waiting room. Abby hugged him as she burst through the doors. "What's going on?" She could feel the stares of the other hospital patrons about her clothing, but she didn't care. Kate (and Gibbs) needed her.

"She fainted in autopsy and she was bleeding. They're checking her out now."

"Mr. Gibbs? Ms. Todd is ready." The nurse led Gibbs back to Kate's room. Abby followed.

"The fainting was caused by the typical decrease in blood pressure with pregnancy as well as some dehydration, likely a combination of morning sickness and Ms. Todd not drinking enough water. We have her hooked up to an IV to bring those fluids back up. The bleeding doesn't appear to be caused by a miscarriage at this point and is probably due to an infection. We will send her home with a prescription for a course of oral antibiotics. I still recommend she take it easy for a few days just to be on the safe side, but we did get to see a healthy heartbeat on the sonogram."

"Thank you, doctor." Gibbs said as Abby rushed to hug Kate, attempting to gentle.

"Does everybody know now?" Kate knew Tony and McGee would be very confused by the whole situation.

"I didn't tell them. We can call them here if you want." Gibbs pulled out his cell phone. Kate nodded in response. "DiNozzo, McGee, get to the hospital. Kate's fine but she wants to see you."

Within the hour, Tony and McGee came into the room and saw Gibbs and Abby seated on either side of Kate's bed, holding each of her hands.

"You may want to sit down for this. Guys, I'm pregnant." Kate barely reacted this time she said those words.

McGee's mouth dropped open. "Congratulations," he said nervously.

Tony turned away. "You and Brian must be so happy."

Gibbs stood up and smacked Tony across the back of the head. "The bastard left her and you knew it."

"I'm sorry Gibbs, but you know how I feel about her." Tony whispered.

"Tell her. She needs to hear it. It's been a rough day."

Tony approached Kate's bed. "You're beautiful. I'd like to take you out on a date when you get out of here. I think...no, I know. Kate, I love you."
