Part 15

Gibbs and Kate spent the night together and went to work together. Kate was feeling sick again in the morning. Gibbs would need some time to get used to that.

First thing Kate did at work was go down to see Abby.

"Did you tell him, Kate?" Abby asked seeing Kate entering.

"Yes, I told him. He wasn't as happy as me but he can live with that thought. So you don't need to kick his ass."

"Oh, that's too bad. I hope I can meet him. I don't think you are going to tell me about him, are you?"

"Not now. I promise you that you are going to meet him but first I need to tell Gibbs and the rest of the team and my family. And than if he agrees, you well all get to meet him."

"You haven't told Gibbs? That's good. I don't think it will be a problem. Tony overheard a phone call yesterday. Gibbs is in love. But we don't know with whom. Perhaps that red-headed woman who comes to visit him sometimes."

"Then I better take my changes. See you later Abby."

So Kate went back to the office where Gibbs was at his desk. Even Tony and McGee were already there.

"Kate how are you feeling?" Tony asked.

"I've never felt better. How's Max?"

"Wish I could say the same. I tried to make her to see Ducky, but she won't listen to me."

"Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure it's nothing serious. Gibbs, I need to speak to you." Kate said turning to his desk.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, yesterday I found out that I'm pregnant. I know the rules, only desk work for me."

"You are what, Kate?" Gibbs shouted.

"Pregnant. I'm going to have a baby."

"But how? You never told any of us, you were seeing someone."

"Well actually, that's none of your business. I'm not like Tony. I like to keep my private life just that; private."

"That's a surprise."

"It was a surprise for us, too. I didn't plan on getting pregnant. Hell, my boyfriend didn't even want to have children."

"How did he take it than?" Gibbs asked smiling.

"Well, better then you. He's happy to become a father. And I personally think he is going to be a great father." Kate turned to Tony. "Well, Tony I'm surprised. No smart comment?"

Tony was kind of pale. "Tony, are you alright?" Kate asked concerned.

"Yes, everything is fine. I just remembered I told Gibbs yesterday Max had the same symptoms as you. That would mean, she could be pregnant, too."

"I think that would be possible the way you acted in New York." Kate smiled thinking of Tony as a father. Well, she had to change her way of thinking about him. Since Max was there, he was completely different. He has changed for the better.

later that day

The team had just got off work and Gibbs and Kate were on their way home.

"Did you really mean what you said? About me being a good father?"

"Of course I meant what I said. You'll be great dad. Just the way you act around the team. You are taking care of all of us and we aren't even your kids."

"You are all family. I couldn't live with the thought that something has happen to any of you. Especially to my favorite researcher." Gibbs smiled at her.

"I just hope we are getting a case soon, or I'll go insane."

"I know you love field-work, but that is NCIS-rules. And even if it weren't NCIS-rules I don't think I would let you into the field. I would die not knowing where you are and how you are."

"I know, and I only have 7 and a half months left."

At home Gibbs made dinner while Kate had a relaxing bath. Sitting at her desk the whole day was something she first had to get used to.

"When are we going to tell our families, Darling?" Kate asked entering the kitchen.

"Charlie is at home this weekend, holiday leave from Iran where he is at the moment. How about we pay them a visit? Actually I planned on seeing him this weekend but I somehow got involved with the most beautiful woman on earth."

"Oh Jethro, thanks for the compliment. Just wait a few months and you will change your mind. But I like the idea. I would love to meet them, too."

"I'm sure you will like them. So how about we make Friday a holiday and spent the whole weekend there?"

"That's a great idea. So we have enough time to get to know each other and you can spend some quality time with your brother. But both of us taking the same day off, won't that rise questions?"

"We'll find a way. Just tell them you're going to spend some time with your boyfriend."

"And that won't be a lie. What are you going to tell them?"

"That's a surprise. You'll see tomorrow."

Gibbs and Kate were the first in the morning the next day. A short time later Tony and McGee came in. That was the time Kate would ask for holiday.

"Gibbs, since there isn't much for me to do at the moment, can I take Friday off? I need to spend some time with my boyfriend."

"Sure Kate, you can take the day off. But if we get a case I'll call you back."

"Okay." Kate said being curious how Gibbs would manage to get the day off, too.

Gibbs sat down on his desk, did something on his computer and pretended to be working. Suddenly his cell was ringing.

"Gibbs." He said picking it up.

"Hello Jess. I haven't heard of you for some time."

"…"

"I would love to see you, hon. You know I never can spend enough time with you."

"…"

"How about Friday? We don't have much to work at the moment and I still have some holiday's left."

"…"

"So, I'll see you on Friday. Love you too, Jess."

All team-members had overheard the call. Two of them assumed this was his secret girlfriend calling but one knew better. Jess was only his sister-in-law he was going to visit. But if Kate hadn't known about the fact that Jessica was family, she would think the same and would be very, very jealous.

later that night at Tony's apartment

Tony just came home from work. Max had cooked dinner.

"How are you?" Max again felt sick in the morning.

"I'm better, like every day. I just don't know what the matter with me is."

"I have a theory. Did I tell you about Kate? She had the same symptoms as you?"

"And? Do you know what's wrong?"

"Oh yes, we know. But I'm not sure you'll like it. Kate is pregnant."

"Oh, that would mean, I'm pregnant too. Oh God, Tony. It can't be."

"Why not? There is a really good chance that you're pregnant."

"But Tony. A baby? I'm not sure we are ready for such an important addition to our life. I mean we have only been a couple for two months. We don't know if this is going to last." Max said.

"Max, I'm sure this is going to last forever. I love you and will always love you. I actually planned to ask you if you to marry me."

"Oh Tony, did you propose?" Max asked smiling.

"Well, I would say so, even if I had planned on it being a bit more romantic. It doesn't matter if you are pregnant or not I'll marry you one day. And if you are really pregnant I'll be very happy."

"Tony, that's so sweet. I never imagined being married one day or starting a family. I'm going to see that Ducky-guy like I promised you. And I'll marry you, Tony. Thanks for giving me a normal life."

So, what are you thinking? Still liking the story? I'm looking forward to read what you think about it.
