Gibbs took a deep breath and decided to try and get Abby and Jackson out of there without anyone getting hurt, and knocked on the door. Chip's voice snarled, saying,

"Who's there?"

"Special Agent Gibbs. You remember me, don't you Charles?"

"Yeah I do. Made me shave my moustache. But at least you call me by my given name! Little Miss Perfect here calls me Chip! My name is Charles!" Chip yelled, and Abby said,

"Whatever you say. Chip." Chip pressed the blade into her neck even more and she winced.

"Well, one thing I do know, Charles," Gibbs paused, using his real name, and then added, "You want Agent DiNozzo, not Abby. Isn't that right?"

"Exactly. But I figure, hurt his best friend, which is Abby. I would've gone for his girlfriend, Officer David, but she's too good. She wouldn't act on her emotions. I knew Abby would."

"So you played her. Clever, aren't you Charles? Well, if you want DiNozzo, here he is." Gibbs opened the door and Tony poked his head in. That provoked the opposite reaction Gibbs was hoping for. He hoped that Chip would throw the knife at Tony and Gibbs could shoot him, but instead Chip started shaking with blind rage and went to throw the knife at Jackson.

"No!" Gibbs, Abby and Tony yelled at the same time as Chip went to throw the knife. Abby kicked Chip in his groin and ran in front of the knife, throwing her arms around Jackson to protect him. It seemed to go in slow motion for everyone, the knife slowly pierced Abby's chest and blood started seeping through her clothes.

Gibbs instantly fired, twice in Chip's chest. He moved to Abby's limp side as Jackson was gripping her hand tightly. "Stay with me, Abbs." Gibbs muttered as he ripped his jacket off and bunched it around the knife, getting ready to take it out.

"Gibbs! Don't!" Ziva suddenly yelled, sprinting to his side and saying, "Take the knife out and she dies. The knife is stopping the blood from coming out. If you take it out, then she'll bleed out."

Gibbs froze, horrified at the fact that he almost killed Abby. His girl. He took a deep breath and then yelled, "Where is that helicopter?"

"On it's way." Tony yelled, frozen at the sight of Abby lying on the ground, a knife sticking out of her stomach. Just as the words came out of his mouth, a few paramedics raced past him and loaded Abby up on a stretcher. Gibbs walked with her, as did Jackson, both of them looking equally worried.

The next few hours were blurs to both Jethro and Jackson. All Gibbs remembered was gripping Abby's hand tightly on the ride to Bethesda and then being sat in the waiting room by Jackson. He barely remembered the team coming in and sitting by them, all of them joining the silent vigil.

Eventually, Dr. Willows came out of Abby's room, stripping off his gloves and dumping them in the garbage. Gibbs came out of his stupor and stood up, looking the doctor in the eyes.

"Miss Sciuto came out of surgery an hour ago." The doctor began to say, and Jenny stood up, saying,

"Why didn't you tell us?" Dr. Willows looked her straight in the eyes and said softly,

"Because we weren't sure what her condition was." Jenny nodded, swallowing hard and then he continued, saying, "It's almost like a miracle. She's recovered miraculously since then, and can probably be released tomorrow. It's, something I've never seen. She must really have something to live for."

"Can we see her?" Jackson asked the crucial question the same time Gibbs did. They looked at each other and then back at the doctor when he said,

"Yes. But only two at a time, she's going to be very sore, especially with the slight beating she took. It looks like she got into a fight with her captor, and she put up a good fight."

"I'll bet." Gibbs said quietly, with a slight smile, knowing that his girl was a fighter. He and Jackson immediately walked into Abby's room, and she was resting, her eyes closed and her skin dangerously pale.

"Hey Abbs." Gibbs said quietly, sitting at her right hand side and taking her hand, kissing it softly. Jackson took her other hand and stayed there, silently. Abby stirred and her eyes flickered open, and she smiled at father and son. Jackson smiled back, and Gibbs knew his dad needed to talk to Abby alone. He got up and said, "I'm going for coffee."

"I'm not allowed to have coffee." Abby said weakly, and Gibbs smiled, signing, "My girl" on her cheek and then walking out. The team looked up at him and he said,

"Hey, I don't care what that doctor said, everyone can go in. Just give my dad a few moments." Everyone nodded as Tony followed Gibbs to the coffee.

--

A half hour later, Jackson came out of Abby's room, having said goodbye to her and thanking her for saving his life, though he scolded her for getting herself hurt. He said goodbye to the team and then met up with Gibbs as he was coming back with the coffee.

"I'm going back to Stillwater, Leroy." Jackson said, and Gibbs smiled, knowing that he was going to leave.

"All right. How's Abby?"

"She's asking for you. If you ask me, that girl's got it bad for you, Leroy." Jackson said, winking at his son. Gibbs rolled his eyes and said,

"Bye dad."

"Goodbye son. Come down and visit now and again, bring Abby with you too."

"You only like her because she gives you tons of business." Gibbs muttered as he pulled his dad into a hug.

"I'm proud of you son," Jackson said quietly, and Gibbs pulled back, saying,

"Love you too, dad." Jackson smiled, clapping Gibbs on the shoulder and walked out. Gibbs smiled and walked back to the team, who was standing in Abby's room. He gave a cup of coffee to Jenny and one to Ducky, and Tony walked in, giving Ziva and McGee theirs.

Jenny saw Gibbs looking at Abby and told everyone to go home and get some sleep. Everyone gave Abby a hug and left, all of them knowing that Abby and Gibbs needed a moment. As soon as everyone left, Abby opened her arms and Gibbs slipped into her arms, pulling her close and their lips meeting instantly.

"Abbs…" Gibbs breathed as they both surfaced to take a breath. She kissed him again and again before replying,

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry,"

Abby sat there, shocked, and then said, "Uh, what for?"

"Almost killing you." He whispered, and Abby looked confused. "I almost pulled the knife out when Chip stabbed you. You would be dead right now if I had." He added miserably, and Abby grabbed Gibbs by the waist and pulled him close so he had to lay down next to her.

"Listen to me, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. It wasn't your fault. It was instinct, and I already thanked Ziva for stopping you. There is no blame to be placed anywhere. Nothing is your fault. And either you stop thinking like that, or I'll have security kick you out." Abby said, narrowing her eyes and taking on a firm voice and tone. Gibbs nodded, and then sighed. "What?" Abby asked, and Gibbs sighed.

"Come live with me." He said, looking her straight in the eyes. She blinks once, and then says,

"Are you sure?"

Gibbs silences all her doubts by leaning in and kissing her softly, sweetly, and she breaks the kiss, saying, "Then yes. But I wonder what everyone will say about me having a change of address that just happens to match yours." He smiles and chuckles, pulling her close and resting his lips against her forehead and said,

"That I can't answer, Abbs." She laughs too, and then pulls him back, saying

"I love you," Gibbs smiles and kisses her again, mumbling against her lips,

"Love you too, Abbs."
