Hey guys... my Memaw died recently so that is why I haven't updated in almost a month. I am really sorry for that. I am also sorry this chapter is so short. I will try to get Chapter 26 up as soon as possible.

Please review!

Abby stared at the two newlyweds as they enjoyed their first dance as a married couple. Tony held Kate's hand close to his chest as his other hand rested on her waist and he kissed her lightly on the forehead. The whole scene brought tears to Abby's eyes as she realized how in love they were and how beautiful her best friend was. Kate's dress was strapless and the top sparkled when the light hit it just right. The bottom flowed down and reminded Abby of something out of a Cinderella story. It was simple, yet strikingly beautiful... like Kate. She smiled once again as an announcement was made that others should join the two on the dance floor and she saw the new director, Jenny Shepard, begging Gibbs to dance with her.

"Would you like to dance with me Abby?" McGee asked, coming up behind her.

"Do you really think you can handle me McGee?" she joked.

"No one can handle you Abbs, but that doesn't mean I won't try."

Kate sat with Tony's fingers entwined with hers as her dad held the microphone and went on with his speech about how proud he was to have Tony as a son-in-law. He'd even blurted out how she was pregnant which sent her sixteen year old cousin, Claire, into a fit of "OMG"s and "No way"s... typical teenager. As her dad finished up his speel and gave her a quick kiss, both Kate and Tony were surprised to see Gibbs stand up.

"I've known Kate for about two years now and Tony, unfortunately a little longer," Gibbs began, recieving a laugh from everyone at the reception. "But they are both equally great agents and all around people... even though they both feel the need to argue when I give an order, they bicker constantly and not to mention, they broke rule twelve." Kate blushed while Tony let out a small chuckle. "Even still, I am proud to be their boss and even prouder to consider them my friends. DiNozzo, congratulations on marrying such a great and stunningly gorgeous woman. And Kate, best of luck, you'll need it. Make sure to keep Tony in line." Everyone clapped and raised their glasses as Gibbs finished his toast to Tony and Kate.

"Let's go have some cake!" Robert yelled as everyone finished toasting and after making sure the newlyweds were ready.

"Come on Katie. Let's cut the cake," Tony said.

"I'll be there in just a second," she replied, giving him a kiss and walking towards Gibbs.

"That was quite a speech you made Gibbs and I want to thank you for it. You almost made me cry... almost," Kate laughed. Gibbs sat with a smirk on his face. "You know Jethro, you have a softer side then you show."

"Just don't tell anyone. I'd like to keep my reputation intact," he smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead like he usually did Abby.

"It'll be our little secret," she promised, walking away and making her way into the crowd.

"Hey Kate!" he called out after her.

"Yeah?" She stopped mid-step and turned around.

"You look beautiful..."

"Thanks Gibbs. You don't look half bad yourself," she smiled, adding a wink.

"Do you think he'll do it?" Abby asked McGee.

"Not if he values his life," McGee said, letting out a small laugh.

"Kate wouldn't..." Abby paused and McGee raised his eyebrows questioningly. "You're right, she would. Hope he's prepared for the consequences."

Both turned their attention back to Kate and Tony as they cut the cake together. As usual, everyone clapped and the two picked up pieces of cake to feed to each other, following tradition.

"Open wide Katie," Tony smirked.

Kate laughed, knowing what Tony was planning on doing. Being a good sport, she opened her mouth as Tony opened his. She knew his signals well and when she had the feeling he was about to go through with it, she shoved the cake in his face and moved before he had the chance to reciprocate the gesture.

"Aww Kate, that's so unfair!" Tony whined before getting an idea. "Come here honey. Give me a kiss..."

"You're crazy. I'm not giving you a kiss like that," she giggled. He put on a pouty face and everyone just laughed. "Alright. Fine."

Stupidly, Kate walked back over to Tony where he gave her a big kiss and before she knew what was happening, he'd pulled away and shoved a piece of cake in her face too.

"DiNozzo!" she yelled.

"Yes Mrs. DiNozzo?" he said, winking at her.

She just laughed and decided to hold off on the scolding, seeing how it was their wedding day and all. "Ugh..." she sighed. "For some crazy reason, I love you."

Chapter Title- I titled this chapter "Honor Code" because a marriage is kind of like of code of honor, promising to love each other eternally and all that good stuff. So there you have it...
