Chapter 2 of this supposed one-shot is up! Yeah, I felt stupid after realizing that I had someone try to kill Abby and it was going to be a one-shot. That's dumb. Utterly dumb of me. I apologize, and I also apologize about how long it took for me to get this up! My brain just didn't seem to work, so I apologize, but here's the chapter! ENJOY!!!

Gibbs finally broke the kiss for lack of air and Abby was staring at him. He opened his mouth to say something, but Abby put a finger to his lips and hugged him. He hugged her back, and murmured into her hair,

"Let me take you home, Abbs."

"Why?" She asked curiously, and he replied,

"Because that SOB that shoved you off the road is still out there." Abby drew back and saw the angry fire burning in his eyes, and put her hands on his cheeks, pressing her forehead to his and saying quietly,

"He won't get to me. But just in case, can I stay at NCIS tonight?"

"Only if I get to stay with you." Gibbs said, and Abby began to protest, saying,

"There's no need, Gibbs…"

"I almost lost you today, Abbs. I'm not taking the chance." Gibbs said firmly, and Abby sighed in frustration, but nodded.

"Can you take me home to get some stuff first? Then we'll stop by your place to get some stuff, and come back here." She said, and he nodded, grabbing her right hand with his left. She leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked out to the elevator.

When they got to the parking lot, Gibbs got in the drivers seat of his car, receiving no argument from Abby. She knew that he hated to drive/ride in her car, since it wasn't that big. He pulled up to her apartment complex, and she bounded out, walking up to the door and unlocking it with her key. She felt someone standing behind her, and glanced over her shoulder to see Gibbs standing there.

"I should've known you wouldn't stay in the car." She muttered, and Gibbs smiled slightly, though he looked around for any sign of danger. Abby got the door open and walked up to her apartment door. She heard Gibbs walking behind her, and then felt his hand on the small of her back, possessively. A man walked by them, and said,

"Hey Abby."

"Hey Michael! Did you just get back from Mexico?"

"Yeah. Boy was it hot there." The man Abby called Michael said, and Abby laughed, replying,

"That's why it's for vacation purposes only." Michael waved and walked off, and Gibbs said in Abby's ear, his breath tickling her ear,

"Who was that?"

"One of my neighbors. Down, Jethro, down." She said jokingly, and when they got into Abby's apartment, he boxed her against her door and said quietly,

"I am not a dog, Abby." His voice was shaking with laughter, letting Abby know that he knew it was a joke.

"Well, you had your hackles up. What else was I supposed to say?" She said with a smile, and he shrugged, saying,

"Well, I have to be careful. Can't go losing you, now can I?"

"Nope." She said, and pressed her lips to his. A few moments later, Abby slipped out of his arms and began packing, tossing some clothes and stuff into a duffel bag. Gibbs just wandered around, looking at her pictures on the walls and stuff.

When Abby was ready, Gibbs grabbed her bag with a few protests from Abby. "I am not fragile, Special Agent Gibbs!" She said haughtily, though the smile on her face ruined the effect.

"Too bad, Forensic Specialist Sciuto." Gibbs said before kissing her temple quickly. She pretended to pout on the way back to the car, and eventually Gibbs put his arm around her shoulders before opening the passenger seat door for her. She got in, still in a pout, and stayed that way all the way back to the Navy Yard. Neither of them spoke until they got into the elevator.

Gibbs pressed the emergency button, and turned to Abby, gently grabbing her wrists and she backed up against the elevator wall. Gibbs looked her straight in the eyes, and she avoided his gaze.

"Abbs." He said quietly, and she glanced up into his eyes for a short moment and then back down. "Look at me." He said softly, and she reluctantly looked him straight in the eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked, and she opened her mouth a few times. Finally, she swallowed and said hoarsely,

"That guy is going to come after me. What if he hurts you, or Tony, or McGee, or Ziva, or Ducky, or anyone else in his attempt to get to me?"

Gibbs almost couldn't believe it, he had thought that she was scared for herself, but in a typical Abby fashion, she was only afraid for the people around her getting hurt in some wacko's attempts to get to her.

"I won't let him hurt you, or anyone else," Gibbs said slowly, and Abby nodded, believing him.

"I believe you, Gibbs. Just, just…" She trailed off, and looked down. Gibbs let go of one of her wrists and put a hand under her chin, making her look at him.

"Just what, Abbs?"

"Just don't leave me." Abby whispered, her free hand grabbing onto his shirt tightly.

"Never." He swore, and covered her lips with his. When they broke the kiss, Gibbs eased back and hit the emergency button again.

When they got to Abby's lab, she lit up at the sight of her 'babies'. Gibbs sat back and watched her as she checked on each and every one of them, cooing at them and asking if they had missed her.

"I'm sure they all did, Abby." Gibbs said, his voice shaking with quiet laughter. Abby put her hands on her hips and looked at Gibbs with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I'd rather hear it from them, not you, Gibbs," She turned back to her computer but then spun around, saying hesitantly, "No offense, though…"

"None taken, Abbs. I never take offense with you." Gibbs said, and set his bag down next to Abby's. Abby was excited about having a sleepover, and Gibbs couldn't help but play along with her, as her excitement was catching.

"You know, Gibbs, this whole thing is freaking me out." Abby commented as they played hang-man.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm freaked." Abby said, and then won hang-man, and jumped up in the air, grinning and laughing as Gibbs muttered something about 'beginner's luck'.

The hours flew by, and the emotionally exhausting day that Gibbs had was finally catching up to him. He and Abby both fell silent for a long time, their hands entwined, and when Gibbs looked over at her, she was asleep. Gibbs smiled as he gently put a blanket down and laid her down on top of it, and laid down next to her as well, but made sure he kept his gun at the ready.

As they both drifted off, a gunshot split the eerie silence of the Navy Yard.
