Author's Note:
Okay so this is Abby's memory of Kate. It's still pretty much rated T but just so people are aware it has Kate/Abby together. So if you don't like to read that please feel free to skip this chapter. Otherwise if you don't mind I hope you enjoy this chapter along with the rest of the story. Comments are always appreciated. =)
Abby sat down in her lab the music for once turned off. Ducky had broken the news to her about Kate's death. She had managed to go the funeral but still missed Kate badly. Abby stared down looking at the picture Kate had drawn of her. It featured a bat with it's wings spread Abby's face complete with fangs smiling mischievously. Abby smiled remembering how Kate told her she used to think goths wore eyeliner and fake blood. Remember how Kate loved her hair she began putting her hair up. She looked around to see Tony standing in the doorway.
Abby ran to give Tony a hug seeing how down he was. After Kate's death he never seemed the same lately with Gibbs treating him differently. Tony handed her a bag of evidence and left leaving Abby alone to work. Abby smiled remembering the first time Kate had ever walked through the door. She ended up helping her with evidence and they had ended up flirting. It was a secret they had kept because of Gibb's rules never to date a coworker. They had simply started out as friends but it grew into more much more.
Abby left the evidence to process through the various machines and methods of treating solutions. She leaned back in her chair starting to daydream with no music there to help her focus on her work. It seemed odd for everyone else but Kate would have wanted it that way. Abby and Kate had talked about death before so it wasn't a new concept for Kate. It was part of the closure for Abby and soon she fell asleep at her table. Her head rested on her hands as she started to dream about her first date with Kate.
Kate had taken Abby to the latest horror movie out in theaters. Abby knew horror movies weren't her thing and smiled as Kate occasionally jumped through the movie. As the movie was over Abby took Kate to a local restaurant and they talked over dinner. Since they shared the day together at work they were able to talk deeper. After dinner was done Kate drove Abby to her place and was surprised to find Kate kissing her cheek before leaving. Abby stopped Kate from leaving by grabbing her wrist.
Abby remembered so vividly how Kate had looked in that one moment. Her short black hair all nice and neat. Her eyes locked on where Abby had grabbed her wrist. Kate had seemed shocked but walked back up to Abby. Forgetting the rules of work they shared a passionate kiss together. The night had progressed farther than they could have imagined. Abby woke up hearing a few of the machines beeping startling her.
