Okay, I initially (wow, pretty big word for me) wanted this to be a one-shot, but upon the request of girl4christ, celiacprincess, and Carondoiel, I decided to just add another chapter (not to mention girl4christ and celiacprincess would kill me if I didn't). So, here ya go. Oh and thanks to celiacprincess, girl4christ1092, Sason, SpecialAgentAllie, ashzidi, Carondoiel, and Eliza-angel for reviewing. Enjoy!

The first thing Abby noticed when she woke up was she wasn't at her computer like she remembered she was last. She was laying in the futon she always kept in her lab with what she recognized as Gibbs' blanket over her and her head on Tony's pillow. When she looked around, she saw Tony sprawled out on the floor, McGee asleep at her desk, and Ziva was leaned up against the wall.

"Why's everyone sleeping in my lab?"

At that point, Gibbs walked into the lab without Abby noticing, "Well, everyone thought that if you didn't go home, neither should we."

Abby jumped and spun around to look at Gibbs. He was standing in the doorway with his ever-present coffee in hand, "Gibbs! You scared the crap out of me!"

Gibbs merely raised an eyebrow.

Abby continued, "Anyway, you shoulda just woke me up. I would've gone home."

"Well, you just looked just so darn cute that we didn't have the heart to wake you."

"Thanks for the compliment Tony, but you really didn't have to stay. Don't you have a house to go home to?"

Tony merely shrugged one shoulder lazily. Abby looked at the rest of the occupants in the lab and saw the McGee and Ziva had woke up as well.

"Well, actually, Abby, I have an apartment. Not a house."

Abby stuck out her tongue at him and turned back to Gibbs, "What time is it?"

Gibbs glanced at his watch, "Ten 'til noon."

"Oh, man! I'm gonna be late!"

"Why's that?" asked Ziva.

"I have court. I have to testify about the evidence from that case last week."

McGee frowned, "When's court?"

"At one. Oh, man, oh, man. I'm gonna be so late. The judge isn't all to fond of me either."

"Aww, come on, Abby," said Tony. "who could hate you?"

"Apparently the judge that doesn't like me rambling on about forensics."

Ziva turned to Gibbs, "Well, I believe if we leave now, with Gibbs driving, we'd be able to get there in a zippy."

"Uhh, Ziva? That's jiffy. We'd get there in a jiffy."

"Whatever."

In 45 minutes, Gibbs was able to get Abby to her apartment to change into proper attire and to the courthouse without getting into, or causing any accidents. After court, the team walked back towards the car, ready to go home. Abby walked slower than the rest and McGee was the first to notice, "Abby? What's wrong?"

Hearing McGee, the rest of the group stopped and looked at Abby with concern.

Abby seemed to shrink under the weight of everyone's stare, "It's nothing. I just never knew what great friends I have."

The group glanced at each other before wrapping Abby in a group hug. Abby, noticing Gibbs was missing, grabbed him and pulled him into the hug.

Once Gibbs got over his initial shock, he wrapped his arms around Abby and kissed her on the top of her head, "You'll know we'll always be here for ya, Abs. We're family."

"Aww, boss. You're finally showing your sensitive side."

SMACK.

"Sorry, boss."
