Abby and McGee praying

His face is so innocent and so childlike. Just like on the outside, Timothy McGee is the same inside. Every emotion can be read on his boyish face. Like everybody else on the team, he misses Ziva. Everybody deals with their feelings in their own way. He's someone who hates to be all by himself when he's sad.

So he visited Abby yesterday. The day before his mood was so gloomy,but today his heart is lighter, the world is brighter.

When Abby opened the door, he could see she's been crying, but seeing him, she put a smile on her face. Her unique smile, he adored so much.

It felt good pouring their hearts out to each other. Abby, his sweet Abby comforted him in her Abby way. She always cheers him up. He felt like treated by her as a puppy, but that's Abby...And he loves her.

"She'll come back, Tim." she said "I know it. Not like Gibbs knows it in his gut...but I know it."

Tim remained silent, but was looking at her with eyes open wide, drinking in her words as she continued.

"I didn't let her close to myself at first, after Kate died...but you know me: Once I let someone in my heart, I won't give up on that person. She'll come back,McGee." she kept encouraging him."If she doesn't come back herself, I'll make Gibbs, Tony,Vance or whoever bring her back."

Tim sighed.

"I wish it was as simple as that, Abby." he said.

"Oh come on...have a little more faith..." Abby said looking him in the eye.

"Faith...?"

"Yeah...Ask."

"Ask...Oh...you mean pray."

"Yup." she said putting on her unique smile.

McGee wasn't an atheist, he believed of course, but prayer wasn't an everyday practice in his life.

"Abby it might be easy for you...I mean you meet nuns and play bowling with them and such...but not for me...though I pray short prayers now and then..."

Abby smiled.

"It's really not about nuns or playing bowling with nuns...and I don't really think God cares if you speak to him for hours or just a few words, like...Lord I love you...or...Please help me!"

Seeing Tim's helpless face, she grabbed his hand and said:

"Let's do it together."

"Like you and me talking to Him?"

" Is there a problem?"

"No."

Abby took both of his hands, closed her eyes and Tim watching her, doing the same and repeating the words after her.

"Our Father in Heaven.I know you always care for us and love us. We come to you for our friend Ziva. Please protect her, take care of her and bring her back to us. Thank you. Amen."

McGee looked at Abby wondering.

"Better?" she asked him.

"Yeah, but um...but...was that enough?!"

"Why yes of course" she caressed his face and hugged him."We don't have to say hundreds of words...a simple little talking with God...like children to their father."

She kissed Tim's face and smiled at him. Tim smiled back at her.

"Abby you make me see things so simple. You always make me feel good."

"Oh, my sweet McGee ," Abby looked him in the eye."that's what friends are for."

"I love you, Abby." Tim said shyly in his innocent McGee way.

She put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"I love you, McGee." she said smiling in her unique Abby way.
