Three days later Gibbs went to work. Tony, Tim, and Ziva looked concerned.

"Boss, have you seen Abby?" Tim asked.

"No. Why?" Gibbs replied.

"We haven't heard from her all morning or last night," Ziva said, "She wasn't at her apartment, we checked." Vance all of a sudden yelled from the top of the stairs.

"Gibbs! DiNozzo! David! McGee! M-TAC now!" Vance yelled. The team ran into M-TAC, on the monitor was a man, with two chairs covered by sheets behind him.

"Agent Gibbs," The man said, "So nice to see you again. My brother, he killed your wife."

"Jose Hernandez, long time." Gibbs said.

"I know what you did Gibbs. I know you killed my brother! So I'm going to make you pay!" Jose pulled the sheets off showing Abby and Kelly. The girls looked at Gibbs through the monitor. They looked scared, but unharmed. "Which shall I kill?" The team looked at the Gibbs.

"What do you want?"

"It's not what I want. This is about getting even. I will kill one and let the other go free. Pick which one lives. Your surrogate daughter or your daughter." The team stared at Gibbs and then back at the girls in shock.

"Just kill me," Abby said impatiently, "You know he'll pick her, so why make him choose?"

"Abby shut up. She doesn't mean it!" Kelly said frantically, "Don't kill her!"

"So, Agent Gibbs," Jose said, putting a hand on Abby's head, "Speak now or forever have her blood on your hands."

"Why kill either one of them? Why don't you just kill me?" Gibbs asked.

"Because it would give you too much pleasure knowing that you saved them both, but this will haunt you. You will be stuck. You will want to be there for the one that survives, but you will feel so guilty about the one who dies, it's perfect. So, pick now or they both die." Gibbs didn't know what to do. "Or if it makes it easier I could just go with Abigail's idea." Jose pointed his gun at Abby.

"Bye," Abby said to Gibbs.

"No!" Kelly yelled, "Stop!" She looked at Abby and Abby just looked at José.

"Let her go," Abby said.

"As you wish," he said. He cut Kelly's ropes and ordered one of his men to take her down the street. DiNozzo and David left to go get her. "Well agent Gibbs, it looks like you chose your daughter to live instead of Abigail. You value your daughter over Abby." Abby looked at the ground. Gibbs loved Abby and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

"I will get you whatever you want, just don't hurt Abby," Gibbs said seriously.

"I want my brother back. Can you do that?"

"No, but I will get you all the money you want, just let her go."

"Why? You do not even care about her. If you did then you would have spoken up when she offered herself to die. She is nothing to you!" Abby fixed her eyes to the floor and a single tear fell down her cheek. Gibbs felt awful. José turned the camera off and that was the last Gibbs saw of Abby. His phone started to ring and it was Tony.

"Boss we got Kelly," Tony said. Gibbs hung up. He was so mad at himself that he wanted to just punch a hole in a wall. He stormed out of M-TAC and got Kelly and went home. They sat in silence for a few minutes before she said something.

"Are you going to find her?" Kelly asked.

"There's a good chance that she's already dead," Gibbs said. Kelly started to cry.

"Please, no," she said. Gibbs held her close and kissed her head.

"I really, really hope we find her and that she is alive," Gibbs said.

"It should have been me!" Kelly said crying, "Why did you let it be her?!"

"I didn't know what to do," Gibbs said. KJ looked really upset.

"You need to call Abby's mom." Gibbs nodded and grabbed his phone. He started to dial and a man answered the phone. It was the interpreter. Gibbs told Gloria, Abby's mom, through the interpreter everything that happened and that she should come to DC.

The next day there was a knock on Gibbs' door. He answered it and saw a pretty blond woman with blue eyes that were now red from crying. Gibbs had met her before, but it had been a while since they had seen each other. Gibbs grabbed her bags and let her in. She sat on the couch and Gibbs sat next to her.

'Hey,' Gibbs signed.

'Hi,' Gloria signed back.

'I am so sorry about Abby,' Gibbs had tears in his eyes, 'I should of been able to protect her from him, but I didn't and I failed her.' Gloria grabbed his hands, so he would stop.

'No Jethro,' she signed, 'You took care of my baby for so many years and you protected her and none of this is your fault. You were more of a dad to her than her own father was. Do not blame yourself.'

'I owe you, Gloria. You took care of my daughter.'

'And you took care of mine. Consider us even.' Gibbs nodded and then KJ came down the steps. Gloria walked over to her and KJ hugged her and cried on her shoulder. Gloria rubbed her back and tried to comfort her. Gloria was around the same height as her, she was tad taller than KJ. KJ and Gloria began signing to one another and then KJ went upstairs. Gloria sat on the couch and she pulled out her wallet and looked at a picture of Abby. She started to cry and Gibbs put his arm around her and rubbed her arm. She looked at him and smiled through tears. Gibbs smiled back and realized that he owed it to Abby to take care of her mom. So, he figured that he'd let her stay with him for as long as she needed.

Two months later Kelly got an apartment and Gloria moved in with her; Abby's body still wasn't found. Gloria would visit Gibbs every day and they would have dinner together. One night they were having dinner and they were sitting on the couch relaxing.

'You know what I cannot stand,' Gloria signed, 'When people underestimate you just because you're deaf or blind or crippled.'

'I know what you mean,' Gibbs said.

'That's why I taught my kids to never ever judge someone by their limitations, but to judge by their actions, hopes, accomplishments, and things that make us good.'

'That's good advice,' Gibbs signed chuckling.

'You're a good person you know.'

'What makes you say that?'

'You don't judge and you took great care of my daughter and you didn't judge her by the clothes she wore.'

'She was a great person and she didn't deserve what happened to her.'

'She was a good person,' Gloria then looked at the ground, Gibbs put a hand on her back to get her attention.

'Like her mom.' Gloria blushed and their eyes locked. She leaned up and their lips connected. That kiss, that one kiss was the start of something new and unexpected.

Five months later Gibbs and Gloria's relationship had gotten really fast and they had gotten married three months after dating. They were actually happy with each other and things were finally turning around for them. She didn't mind that he worked late because she knew how important his job was, she loved to hear about his job, and she didn't mind when he didn't want to talk; these were some things that his exes lacked. Gibbs hated it when he ever upset her, which never really happened, but he still hated it. One morning she was washing the dishes and he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her stomach and she jumped. She started to laugh because she didn't know he was there. He kissed her cheek and watched her wash the dishes. Then she turned around and he started to sign.

'I have to go to work now,' he signed then he kissed her and she smiled.

'See you when you get home,' she signed. He left and went to work. When he got there there was a commotion going on. He walked in the bull pen and his team told him to go into interrogation 1. He walked in there and what he saw sitting at the table shocked him. It was a girl with black hair and yellow green eyes. She looked up at him and had tears in her eyes.

"Abs?" Gibbs said. Abby got up and ran into his arms and cried on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead repeatedly and held her close. "Abby, are you okay?" Abby pulled away slightly and rubbed her eye with the back of her hand and nodded. Gibbs held her closer and kissed her cheek. Then he whispered in her ear.

"Baby," Gibbs whispered in her ear, "I am so sorry I couldn't protect you from them. I love you, no matter what they said."

"I know," Abby whispered back, "Love you, too."

"Come on let's take you home." She nodded and they walked into the bullpen, she had already seen the team. KJ was there, but she was facing away from her. Then KJ looked over at Abby and took a double take in shock. She ran over to Abby and hugged her.

"Oh my Gosh! Oh my Gosh!" KJ yelled. Abby chuckled and held her. After a couple of minutes Gibbs and KJ took her home and Abby was confused on why her mother was there. Her mom came out of the kitchen and dropped the cup she was holding and ran over to Abby and held her and cried hysterically on her shoulder. She kissed Abby's cheek and pulled away to look at her baby.

'Hi mom,' Abby signed.

'Hi baby,' Gloria signed, 'You're alive! I can't believe it!'

'I know.' Gloria hugged Abby again and she smiled through tears. They all sat on the couch and talked until it was late, then Gibbs and Gloria walked upstairs with Abby to the guest room, that was now her room, and they tucked her in and she slept. They sat down on the bed next to her bed and they watched her sleep. They were afraid that if they left her that she would somehow get taken again. After a couple of hours of letting her sleep, they went down stairs and sat on the couch. Gibbs put his arm around her and she kissed his cheek.

"Thank you," Gloria said.

'You just spoke,' Gibbs signed shocked.

'I know.'

'I've never heard you speak.'

'I only speak when it's absolutely necessary.' Gibbs kissed her, bringing her close and immediately kissed him back, but they were interrupted by a girl whose eyes were wide and fear was obvious in her eyes.

"Abby," Gibbs started, but Abby ran up the steps and slammed the bedroom door behind her. Gibbs ran up the steps and tried to open her door, but it was locked. "Abs, open up and let me explain." Abby didn't open it, but a small sobbing could be heard from her room.

"What are you two doing? Why were you two kissing?" Abby asked crying.

"I married her a couple months ago," Gibbs said. The sobbing stopped, she was now in shock. Now she was mad and hurt…and afraid. "Abs," Gibbs said, "Let me in, okay."

"I don't want to talk to you," Abby said.

"Abs let me explain."

"How could you?" Abby asked crying. Gibbs felt awful. Abby cried into her pillow. She was mad at Gibbs and her mom for getting married, and she was mad at KJ for letting it happen. Gibbs tried to turn the door knob again, but it was still locked.

"Abby," Gibbs said, "Honey, please open the door."

"No."

"Abby, I'll break down the door if you don't open it."

"Go ahead, it's your door," Abby said rudely. Gibbs knew that he had hurt her, so he wasn't mad. Gibbs turned around and saw Gloria standing behind him.

'She won't let me talk to her,' Gibbs signed, 'She won't even open the door.'

'Oh no,' she signed, 'Jethro, what are we going to do?'

'You can head to bed and I'll try to talk to her.'

'Okay,' she went to her room and Gibbs ran down to the kitchen and grabbed the key to that door, then he ran up the steps and unlocked it, but he didn't get very far; she had moved the dresser to block the door.

"Abby!" Gibbs yelled, "Move the dresser and let me explain!" Abby moved the dresser and stared at him. Gibbs looked into her eyes and saw the hurt and betrayal that she was feeling. "Abby, just-," Gibbs started before getting the door slammed in his face. Gibbs opened the door and walked in, he saw Abby sitting on her bed.

"I don't want to talk to you," Abby said sadly. Gibbs shut the door behind him and walked over to her.

"Abby-," Gibbs started.

"How could you Gibbs?" Abby asked with sad eyes, "My mom? Out of all people, you had to marry my mom?"

"Abby, I-," Gibbs started.

"Just go," Abby said quietly. Gibbs reluctantly left.

For the next couple of days Abby wouldn't talk to Gibbs or her mom or even KJ. They were getting really upset. Gloria even cried herself to sleep a couple nights, Gibbs would try to comfort her, but she was so upset. KJ had had enough, so she stormed into Abby's room and slammed the door behind her.

"What's your problem?" KJ yelled.

"My problem?!" Abby yelled back, "What are you talking about?!"

"You aren't talking to your mom or my dad! Heck, you won't even talk to me and I'm your sister! Why?"

"Because I'm mad at you!" Abby stood up.

"Why?"

"You let them get married! How could you be so stupid?!"

"What's the problem?"

"Don't you get it? If they were to break up, you have any idea how awkward it be for us?!" KJ's face softened.

"What do you mean?"

"You have a great relationship with my mom and I have a fantastic relationship with your dad. A relationship that I didn't want to lose. With his track record they could break up and I would have to choose between my mom and Gibbs…and you would have to make the same decision." KJ realized that she was right.

"I didn't think about that."

"Of course not! If I was here then it wouldn't of happened!"

"It's your fault!"

"My fault?" Abby asked with high anger in her voice.

"Yes, if you hadn't gone missing then she wouldn't have gotten together with him because she wouldn't have come up." KJ realized how stupid that was after she said it.

"Okay, so everything's my fault," Abby said throwing her hands up in the air.

"Hey you think I want to lose the relationship that I have with Gloria? She's always been there for me! She raised me! She was my mom when I needed one! And yes I should have thought of what would happen if they broke up, but I didn't and now I guess we should hope for the best!"

"You ruin everything!" Abby screamed.

"Oh yeah?" KJ screamed back, "And you're perfect! You ruin everything, too! If you hadn't of been missing then Gloria and Gibbs wouldn't of been so sad! And I wouldn't of felt so guilty for it because it was my fault!" KJ was tearing up.

"Don't be stupid, you know it wasn't you're fault!"

"It should have been me!"

"I didn't let you that's why!" Abby got in her face, "It's not your fault don't you dare think it is." KJ smiled slightly and couldn't help but hug her. They sat down and KJ started to speak.

"You know I think Dad really loves her," KJ said.

"Why would you say that?"

"He makes sure he comes home whenever he can and he tries to spend a lot of time with her and he tells her that he loves her constantly. I think that he really loves her and I think that they'll make it work."

"Really?"

"They do a lot together. Heck, they work on the boat together." Abby went wide eyed. "They really missed you Abby, they're still missing you." Abby nodded and went downstairs; she peaked into the living room and saw Gibbs and her mom on the couch watching TV. The captions were on. They were holding each other romantically. She couldn't help, but smile at them. Abby walked over to them and Gloria moved so she could sit in between them. Abby smiled at them, then she rested her head on Gibbs' shoulder, and Gibbs put his arm around her; then her mom rested her head on her shoulder. Gibbs kissed Abby's forehead.

"Love you sweetheart," Gibbs said.

"Love you, too," Abby said. Then she signed it to her mother. Then KJ walked down the steps and sat between Abby and Gloria. Gloria put her arm around her and for that moment they were a happy family and nothing could come between them.

Sorry it took me so long to update. In this story I made Abby's mom alive. I hope you liked it.
