Okay, just for your clarification... and my own, the first time Kate and Tony had sex was in Behind These Eyes and the second time was in the first chapter of this story, which took place three weeks after Behind These Eyes. So at this moment, on the day in this chapter, Kate is about a one month and one day pregnant.

Oh and sorry for the long awaited update! Ya know you love me and my procrastination.


Kate sat on the sink in the bathroom for the longest time, just holding the test in her hands. She had yet to look down and see the results. She didn't need to, she knew what it would say. She still wasn't sure if she was ready to be a mother or not. It was something she would be new at. It would be like being a Probie all over again.

"Just look at it Kate. There's nothing wrong with confirming what you already know," she told herself. Taking a deep breath and turning the test over in her hands one last time... Caitlin Todd found out she was going to be a first time mom.


"How am I going to tell everybody this? Especially Tony," Kate thought as she made her way down to Abby's lab to relay the news.

All day she had been wondering if she was really pregnant and now that she knew, she found herself wondering different things. Is it a boy or a girl? What will we name it? Who will they look like, me or Tony? Mostly though, she wondered if she could accept it. Hell, could Tony? Or Gibbs, McGee... everyone? It was nerve racking and before she could come up with any of the answers, she was down in Abby's lab. Unfortunately, McGee, Gibbs and Tony were there to. How was she going to tell Abby with all of them there?

She could feel Tony look at her, but she avoided his gaze. She couldn't look into his eyes right now. She had barely spoken to him in two days and she felt extremely guilty.

Instead of looking at him, Kate turned her attention to Abby who was chatting up a storm with Gibbs, McGee and Tony. Her back was to Kate so she obviously didn't see her standing there.

Not sure of exactly what to do, Kate just stood for a moment, but before she could make a decision, McGee had noticed her and called her into the conversation. There goes leaving. "Kate, come here! Abby was telling us this... story about her... tattoo guy? Yeah, her tattoo guy. Unfortunately, I am not sure exactly where it is going."

Kate feigned a laugh and walked over to join the group. Abby looked at Kate for a second, but Kate just mouthed, "not now." Abby nodded her head and continued on with her story.

Kate tried to pay attention, but with Tony standing so close to her, practically breathing on her neck, she found herself getting distracted. Thoughts ran through her mind of what her life with Tony would be like once their baby was born. Everything she imagined seemed so wonderful, perfect and simple. Her life was going to be perfect... magical and everything in between.

Snapping herself out of her dream world, Kate found that Abby's story-time was over and now, McGee, Tony and Gibbs were discussing something of equal importance to Abby's tattoo guy. Meanwhile, Abby had been left out of that loop and was just staring at Kate with a determined look on her face.

"So..." Abby whispered.

Kate just nodded her head and mouthed, "I am."

Big tears welled up in Abby's eyes and she started squealing and of course, seeing Abby crying, it caused Kate to cry too. The only difference was, this time, they were happy tears. Unable to control themselves, Kate and Abby both started sobbing and pulled each other into a hug, followed by jumping up and down.

Just now noticing the unusual behavior of the two women, the three guys just stared at each other... and Abby and Kate.

"Are you two okay?" McGee spoke up.

"Yeah, fine," Abby said, letting Kate go and wiping her eyes.

"Do you want to elaborate?" Tony asked, concerned.

"Not right now," Kate replied, wiping her eyes as well.

"I've had three wives and I still don't understand women," Gibbs said.

"I don't think that any man ever will," Tony deadpanned, staring straight at Kate.


Chapter Title- I titled this chapter "Probie" because in the very beginning, Kate says, "It would be like being a Probie all over again."
