You'll have to wait for the next chapter as I am still writing it but when I finish it I will post it. I am not a Doctor nor do I know one I know a nurse but thats purely becasue we are cousins last time I saw her was in 05 at our grandads b'day. I'm just going off what I know so if its wrong please forgive me.

-Flash back-

"Hey what are you doing here" Kate shrugged she looked close to tears.

"Katie baby is everything ok?" Tony pulled Kate onto his lap they were in the bullpen Kate had taken the day off she was going to go to the doctors. She wasn't ment to be in today.

"I- I" She couldn't bring herself to say it. She burst into tears and buried her face into his shoulder. Tony brushed the hair out of her face.

"Baby what is it?"

"I- Tony I have cancer" he was floored out of every thing that could have come up this was not something that had run through his head not once. He didn't know what to say, he was shocked.

"Say something"

"We'll get through this together"

"You're not going to run?"

"What makes you think that?" Tony brushed hair out of her eyes.

"because that is what you normally do" Tony closed his eyes it was true he'd done it before but this time he was staying this was Kate she wasn't just his girlfriend she was his partner.

"I'm not going anywhere" he kissed her on the forehead.

-End-

Abby sat at her dinning room table flicking through a photo album nothing was the same anymore. Kate had been diagnosed with cancer three years ago. She had moved out to LA with her sister for treatment. Tony flew out to live with her last year, with all the blessings from Gibbs.

"Timmy it's not going to be the same with out them" a tear rolled down her cheek. Tim wrapped his arms her shoulders.

"No one could have predicted what happened Abby, and I'm sure Kate feels just as bad, you're her best friend and if it were anything else Kate would be here"

"I know" a tear rolled down her cheek and splatered onto the book.

"Hey Abby don't cry" Tim held onto her tighter kissing her head.

"I - it's not fair why did it have to happen to her"

"I don't know Abby I really don't know"

-six months later-

Abby looked down at the picture in her hand. Today was the day, today she would no long be Abigail Sciuto in an hour she would be Abigail McGee. She smiled faintly, this was what she wanted but the person she wanted there the most wasn't going to be.

There was a knock at the door; "come in" she turned around to see Ziva and Jen walk in.

"Nervous yet?"

"No"

"You'll get there" Jen laughed.

"We have one last present for you" Abby looked at her friends, she had something old, something, new and something thing blue. She didn't have something borrowed though.

"So the final piece of the puzzle" Jen handed her a locket,

"What's this for?" she looked confused.

"Turn it over" Abby did just that, on the back engraved on the back was for my Katie

"Your something borrowed look inside and you'll see what I mean"

"Huh?"

"Just do it" Abby shrugged and opened the locket carefully on one side was a picture of Tony and Kate on the other was a picture of Tim and herself. A tear rolled down her cheek.

"Its beautiful help me put it on" Jen nodded

Tony stepped out of the car and looked around the park no one was looking at him this was a good sign he walked around the other side of the car and opened the door. He held out his hand and the women in the car took it stepping out then smiling; as she saw so many familiar faces.

"No one knows we're here" she looked up at him smirking, then rolled her eyes.

"I don't want Gibbs to have a heart attack you know I don't think Jen and Emma would like that very much, let alone what Abby is going to do you let alone me"

"Kate honey it'll be fine" he wrapped his arms around her as they looked out over the park. Ducky was the first one to see them although at the time he didn't know it was Kate with Tony.

"Anthony I thought you were staying with…oh my Caitlin it is good to see you again, but should you really be here?"

"I'm in remission Ducky"

"Oh that is wonderful news" Kate smiled and laughed as the older man blabbered on about how good it was that she was back.

"See no biggie now let's see how long it takes him to notice this" Tony whispered in her ear while picking up her left hand. Kate laughed and watched Ducky but he didn't he walked away mumbling his story.

The two of them walked over to where the chairs were set up. "One thing which side do we sit on we know both the bride and groom."

"Uh I'd say Abby she'd kill both of us if we sat on Tim's side"

"But then she'd kill you for not sitting on Tim's side."

"Well let her kill me then I'm sitting with my fiancée"

"I still like hearing you say that" Kate looked back at him he grinned and kissed her neck. He then led her to two seats sitting behind Ducky. Soon every one invited was sitting, Tim stood up the front with next to him was his cousin and Caleb Tony's replacement till he came back. He looked out at their family and friends. Looking over behind Ducky he saw Tony he smiled but could not for the life of him figure out who the women he was talking to was. Kate was still in LA and last time he had heard from them they were still going out. So who was this woman?

"I don't think Probie knows its you?" Tony whispered in Kate's ear, his arm slung around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.

"Ya think the guy hasn't seen me in three years"

When Kate looked up she saw Tim's jaw drop when he realized who it was. Which had taken a minute as her hair was not as long as it used to be, it sat a couple of inches above her shoulders and hung in soft curls. He grinned and nodded.

Soon the car carrying Jen Emma and Ziva arrived. Every one looked back, as they stepped out and waited for Abby to arrive.

"Let me guess, Gibbs is giving Abby away"

"Hmm it's Abby and she would not have it any other way"

"I hope she doesn't cause I fuss when she sees me"

"That or squeal there are some people here who's ears are not conditioned to that"

"True" they noticed a limo pulling up and Gibbs getting out.

"He better not have a heart attack Tony" he grinned and shrugged.

Abby nodded at the two women in front of her. Jen nodded at her daughter who started walking down the isle throwing petals down either side of her. Jen and Ziva were the next two to walk down, Ziva noticed Tony and smiled then she noticed his arm around someone she didn't know, she glared at her that should be me she thought.

"Who's that with Tony" she asked looking over at Jen. Jen looked out to where Tony was sitting. It took her a minute to realize who it was she then smiled.

"That would be Kate" so that's Kate, well I can deal with that Ziva smiled evilly not noticing Jen watching her.

What are you up to?

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to bring to these two souls together in holy matrimony if there is any one here who has reason for these two not to be wed speak now or forever hold your peace." No one said anything. So the ceremony continued. Kate rested her head on Tony shoulder as Abby and Tim exchanged rings, her friend had looked out into the group of people gathered here to celebrate today with them and not once had she seen tony or Kate.

"I now pronouns you husband and wife you may kiss the bride" Abby laughed as Tim rolled his eyes and kissed her.

-Photos-

"I still would have rather Kate be here" Abby fiddled with the locket around her neck. Tim wrapped his arms around her resting his chin on her shoulder.

"What makes you think she wasn't here?" Abby turned to look at him

"What?"

"Second row behind Ducky women with Tony's arm around her" Jen smiled as she saw Abby grin like she did the last time she saw Kate.

"I didn't see Tony"

"You will soon and honey no tackle hugs remember she's not as strong as she used to be"

"I know that"

Tony tucked some hair behind her ear. While handing her a cup of ice, "maybe we should have just come to the reception"

Kate shook her head as she munched on the ice, "I just over heated that's all"

"You sure"

"I'm sure, I should have worn something lighter that's all" Tony nodded and kissed her head while grabbing her cup.

"You want some more?"

"No I'll have some juice" She smiled as he walked away; and Ducky came over.

"How are you feeling Caitlin?"

"I'm fine Ducky no fuss next time I'll were something lighter"

"Next time?"

"You know what I mean" he nodded and walked away; as Tony came back with her juice.

"So what are we going to do about Miss Tackle hug"

"Don't you mean Mrs. Tackle hug" Kate laughed. They turned their attention to the doors of the hall which had just opened. The bridal party walked through. Jen her daughter Emma and Ziva walked in and over to the center table. The next two through were Gibbs, Caleb Medina and Shaun McGee.

Lastly Came Abby and Tim. The dinner could not have lasted longer for Abby as she noticed Kate and Tony sitting at the table right in front of her, but she also had to wait through the speeches before she could see her friend.

Caleb tapped his glass to get every one's attention. Once every one was looking at him he stood up.

"ok I've only been working with Tim and Abby for the last year and a half but in that short time I've seen so much love from them, that I have only seen once before and that was my parents. I don't really have any stories for you, like some of their friends do. So I'll leave it to Ziva and Jen "

Jen laughed and stood up next.

"I met these two when I became the director of NCIS six years ago. Along with them I met their best friend's four people who were fiercely loyal to each other. They all showed me that even in a job like ours you can have people you rely people you love and want to be with the rest of your life."

Tony then stood up Tim groaned but Abby sat up she hadn't seen her friend in a year.

"Probie I'm not gonna be mean. Ab's you're the greatest and you've found your match, as much as I might tease you Tim you're a good man and a good agent and one of my closest friends you've always been there when I needed to get something off my chest and your help over the last few years has ment the world to Kate and I. I can't begin to thank you for listening to my ramblings and rants when everything got too much to hold in." Tim nodded

"Ab's your wonder really you are one of a kind there will never be any one ever like you. Your friendship to me since I arrived at NCIS has been one of the things that kept me sane. I know you've had your fair share of let downs, but now you'll be ok I know as does every one else Tim would never hurt you."

Abby poked her tongue at him as he sat down. Finally the speeches were over and every one was moving around. Abby got up and made her way over to her friends who were waiting for her.

"Hey stranger" Kate stated as Abby came into view. She pulled her friend into a hug and didn't want to let her go.

"I missed you so much"

"I missed you as well Ab's" Abby came back as Tim walked over to the three of them.

"Its good to see you again Kate you're looking well"

"I'm feeling well, and guess what?" Her friends looked at her expectantly.

"I'm in remission which means I can come home"

"Really?" Kate nodded as Abby squealed making some people cringe at the high pitched sound.

"Come with me" the two women headed up to the stage. Abby stepped up to the microphone Kate looked over at her rolling her eyes.

"Excuse me every one for every one who doesn't know the women beside me this is my best friend in the world, Kate"

"Abby …you're a dork" Kate laughed Abby shrugged.

"It's my wedding I can do what I like"

"You're a weirdo"

"But you love me"

"Most of the time" Abby scoffed and walked away Kate laughed and walked back to Tony. Who had been bombarded by people from NCIS some she knew most she didn't. One woman stood extremely close to Tony, ever time he moved away she moved closer and every time she managed to touch him some how. She smiled evilly at Kate when she saw her. You wanna play with fire lady your gonna get burnt. Kate thought walking over to the group. She stepped in between Tony and the woman who was trying to feel him up. Tony smiled and pulled her in front of him, wrapping his arms around her. She smirked at Ziva who walked away.

"Your not going to win at that war Ziva give it up" she turned to see Tim looking at her.

"Oh I will"

"Tony and Kate are made for each other, even before they started going out, there was chemistry. And Abby won't let you break up her favorite couple"

"Maybe Tony needs a change"

"Right, they've been going out for four years Ziva and they've been to hell and back if that can't break them nothing will"

"Oh I will"

"You won't trust me"

"Willing to bet on that?"

"I'm not going to make a bet with you that you can steal my friend's boyfriend."

"Chicken?"

"No I just don't want to see you lose your money"

"Fine fifty bucks says I can"

"Whatever" Tim walked away.

"Didn't think you'd get away with not seeing us did you" Kate turned around.

"Of course not it's good to see you both again" Kate hugged Jen but knew better then to hug Gibbs so she was surprised when he pulled her into a quick hug.

"Fatherhood make you soft Gibbs?" she teased he glared at her then walked away. It was then that Kate noticed Emma.

"Is that Emma wow she's so big now" The three year old hid behind her mothers dress.

"This would be Emma, give her about and hour and she'll be sitting in your lap like she's been doing it all her life." Kate laughed she jumped a bit at the surprise of Tony's arms wrapping around her.

"Is that my lil Emmy hiding back there?" Emma peered out from behind Jen she looked up at Tony and grinned

"Unto toti" she ran and wrapped her arms around his legs. Laughing he let go of Kate and picked the three year old up.

"How you been sport been good have we?" she nodded quickly,

"Unto toti she darey" Tony laughed

"Katie's not scary honey, you just haven't seen her since you were a baby. She used to be the only person who could get you to sleep"

"Weally?"

"Really watch this" Tony poked Kate who jumped then turned to glare at him.

"Not funny Tony"

"Emma thought so" Kate rolled her eyes and walked off in search of Abby.

-Half an hour later-

"Hey Tony" Tony spun around to find Ziva behind him.

"Hey Ziva have you seen Kate?"

"Uh no listen Tony I was thinking you wanna get a drink, maybe have a dance?" Tony looked at her strangely.

"Uh no thank I'm looking for Kate"

"But she's so boring Tony, you need some fun"

"Are you drunk?" Ziva smiled and stood in front of him her hand running up his shirt playing with his collar.

"So what if I am"

"Uh Ziva lets get you some coffee"

They headed off to find her some coffee.

"I'm in love with you Tony"

"Wow that's forward Ziva I love Kate"

"But your getting sick of her aren't you?"

"No If I was getting sick of her would I have asked her to marry me?"

"What you can't do that you belong to me"

"your drunk Ziva sit here and sober up I'm going to find Kate"

Tony found Kate a couple of hours later she was curled up asleep in the foyer on a sofa with Ducky sitting next to her reading.

"How longs she been out Duck?" Tony asked brushing the hair off Kate's face.

"About an hour, found her laying out here reading, I was talking and she must have fallen asleep poor thing"

"Thanks for sitting with her Duck; I've been looking every where for her."

"My pleasure Anthony; I was wondering how long have the two of you been engaged?"

"You finally saw the ring, about a year ago but Kate wanted to be all clear before we told anyone."

"Well congratulations"

"Thanks Ducky, can you wait with her while I grab her bag and say goodbye to Abby and Tim"

"Sure thing"

Tony grabbed Kate's purse and his jacket before finding Abby and Tim talking.

"Hey guys Kate and I are going to head out ok"

"Aw can't you stay at least for the cake"

"No Kate's fallen asleep out in the foyer Ducky's watching her for me. Save some for us ok."

"Is she ok?"

"Yeah she's just drained I think this is the longest day she's had for a while"

"Ok give her our love"

"I will sorry to have to leave so soon"

"That's fine just make sure that girlfriend of yours is ok"

"Actually…no I'll let Kate tell you"

"Tell me what?"

"That we're engaged" Kate walked up behind them she looked really drowsy. Tony was used to seeing her like this and knew she exhausted he pulled her close so she could rest her head on his chest. Her friends however where not so used to it.

"Honey you don't look so good"

"I'm fine I just need sleep"

"You sure"

"I'm sure" Abby nodded and hugged her friend.

"We go get some sleep, and I'll save you some cake ok" Kate nodded she and Tony turned to leave.

"Tony your not going anywhere with her" Ziva pushed Kate who tripped and fell back Abby caught her friend before she fell.

"What the hell?"

"Ziva get it through your thick head, I don't like you I have never liked you. I love Kate and you hurting her pushing her over makes me hate you even more"

"But I love you Tony cant you see that?"

"I don't care. I have a fiancée I'm getting married as soon as Kate has the all clear I'm not interested in you I never have been. So leave me and Kate alone" he walked over to Kate and asked her if she was ok. She nodded standing up. They linked hands and walked out.

"Abby wait Ziva I believe you ow me some money"

"You made a bet with her Tim"

"I didn't she made the bet I'm just cashing in, hey fifty buck is fifty bucks" Abby rolled her eyes but watched as Ziva paid Tim. She then stepped forward.

"You ever do that again to either of my friends and I will kill you"

The rest of the reception was so boring for Abby as her two best friends where not there.

"Abby she'd be here if she could" Tim wrapped his arms around her, kissing her temple she nodded she knew this was true Kate would do anything for Abby and Abby would do anything for her best friend. They always had and they always would be there for each other.

Ok I know there isn't much McAbby but this is the tenth edit and the only one I liked. And what do you expect I'm a Tate writer I normaly only have hints of McAbby, or bits of them here and there. I think you'll like the next chapter its long and its mixed with angst, romance, fluff and houmor so far I have yet to finish it
