Chapter 6- No More Air Just Gibbs
Gibbs
He was at Abby's place, holding her gift; scared of her response. He loved her with every fiber of his being, he hoped and prayed she would be alright. He was clutching the box so tightly the his knuckles were turning white. Just standing in her apartment made him go weak at the knees, he hoped she didnt see how she made him feel. This gift would be the deal breaker, either she loved him back or ran and took cover. He decided it was now or never, so he placed the box on the table, and grabbed her hand. Even his voice was shaky as he started to speak.. " Abs....I dont hate you, I never could. When you were gone I was so scared".... he was cut off in the middle of his speech by the most passionate kiss he had ever received. She looked up at him her green eyes sparkling, kind of like the old Abby. She said "Why my silver-haired fox I think your blushing."
Abby
She had just kissed Gibbs, she couldnt believe it. Know he was blushing in her apartment. God, this was the most amazing feeling she had ever felt, she wasnt scared anymore, she was in love. Her eyes grazed to the package he had brought her. Her thoughts rambling around in her head, its too big for a ring, too small for a car, what could it be? She picked up the box careful not to break it, if it was breakable. She took off the black bow, smiling (that was a nice touch Gibbs), reached into the box and pulled out a female Hippo with a black bow sewn on her left ear. There was a note in the bottom of the box. She knew it was Gibbs writing immediately. All the note said was Even the most simplest things need to be loved, I would like you to meet Roberta, i figured Bert would be just as lonely as I was before I met you. Its kinda like us in Hippo form, yeah i know Marines dont talk like that. I love you Abs. Flabbergasted, she sat holding Roberta, as a tear grazed her cheek, he understood her. Maybe this could work, there were so many questions she had. She didnt know where to begin, she stood up pulling Gibbs into her arms, making sure he knew her intentions. She loved him, she felt safe with him. But major points that he had just given her the best gift in the world. Not realizin what she was doing she squeezed Roberta, and a feminine sound filled the room. Abby could not believe her ears, Roberta was a farting Hippo too, as she realized this she started to laugh.
They were comfortable, they had each other and nothing was going to change that. She felt safe, and that was all that mattered. Alot had happened in these past couple weeks. But none of it mattered as they lay there on Abby's couch wrapped in each others arms, not a word said but everything understood. That night she fell asleep in his arms the happiest she had been since this had started. While Bert and Roberta had there own fun on the coffee table.
