Waking next to Tony had become a necessasity for me since the start of our relationship, so when I woke with his arms wrapped around my middle and our legs intertwined I smiled. If I had a choice I would never leave this bed now that I had the love and support from Tony, it just felt right to me.
"Morning sweetheart" Tony whispered in my ear and I smiled
"Morning" I breathed turning in his arms. He kissed me on the lips and then smiled his hands never leaving my waist
"I know we need to go to work, but I don't want to leave your side" I said and he smiled
"I know what you mean" I whispered kissing him on the lips before jumping up and going to the bathroom to shower. Exiting the bedroom after dressing I found Tony at work in the kitchen making breakfast and smiling as he saw me.
"I thought you might be hungry" he said and I smiled, making my way into the kitchen and wrapping my arms around his waist.
"What did I do to deserve such an admirable man?" I asked and he smiled turning and kissing my lips
"I think it is I who needs to ask how I managed to get such an amazing women to even consider dating me " he said and I smiled
"Oh we both know how it happened and last night was just a reminder of the fact" I teased and he smiled
"Don't I know it" he said pushing me up against the counter and attacking my mouth.
Arriving at work I headed up to the bullpen with Tony, McGee wasn't in yet but Gibbs was, so we made our way over to his desk to tell him our plan.
"Morning Gibbs" I said cheerily
"Morning Abs, DiNozzo" he said not looking up from the file he was looking at.
"Boss Abs and I are going to go up and tell the Director of our relationship and our pregnancy" Tony said and I smiled, he finally looked up at us
"Are you sure thats a good idea?" he asked and we looked at each other
"Well he has to know, he is the big boss man and he has a lot of control over what happened. The fact that I'm having triplets and have been ordered to go on bed rest by the doctor kind of means he's going to need as much time as possible to sort out a temporary replacement for the lab" I explained and he nodded
"I know that but are you sure you want to do that today?" he asked and we nodded
"The sooner he finds out the easier it will be later on" Tony answered squeezing my hand. Gibbs looked between us, an eyebrow raised in question
"If your sure" he said letting us leave.
We made our way up to Director Vance's office and when entering his recpetionist called through
"Director Vance, Ms Scuito and Mr DiNozzo are here to see you" we smiled at her and she smiled back
"Let them in" he said and we made our way through the door into his office, he looked at us and smied motioning towards the two seats that were in front of his desk. We made our way over to the two seats and sat. He leant forward and rested his elbows on the table.
"What can I do for you two today?" he asked, I looked over at Tony and he smiled reassuringly before starting
"Abby and I have come to tell you that we are in a committed relationship with one another. I love her and we have made our feelings known to each other, and since doing so it has been the best few months of our lives" I grabbed his hand in mine and smiled lovingly at him, with his free hand he moved a stray hair and pushed it behind my hair. He looked between the two of us and smiled, an eyebrow raised at us
"Theres something more isn't there?" he asked and we nodded, Tony squeezed my hand in reassurance.
"I am pregnant with triplets" I said smiling, Vance looked at us like we had grown an extra head or turned into mice in front of him, but after a couple of minutes he asked
"How long have you known?" he asked
"Two days, Abby and I found out then but we wanted to make sure and so we went to the doctors yesterday to make sure. He told us we were having triplets" I said excitedly.
"How far along are you?" he asked
"I've just gone into the second trimester, according to the doctor he has asked that I be put on maternity leave at six months as I am an older patient and my pregnancy is such a high risk one he doesn't want me to get worn out I guess" I told him and he nodded,
"Right so I will sort out a schedule for you, that will give you less hours and more time at home. I'll do that for you Tony closer to her due date. Ms Scuito that means no all nighters unless absolutely necessary, I expect you to follow your new schedule and listen to Gibbs and or Tony when they ask you to go home" he said and I nodded in understanding.
We were about to leave when Tony stood up and asked
"Aren't you going to split us up or something, punish us?" Vance looked over at us and smiled
"There are no rules against relationships through the agency. As long as it doesn't effect your working relationship I can't see a problem with it" he said and Tony's jaw dropped, so Vance explained further
"I have no problem with the two of you dating, Tony. Gibbs was the one with the rules not me and I'm guessing since your in here telling me that Gibbs already knows?" he guessed and I nodded
"Yea we told him the night we found out, about the pregnancy and our relationship" I told him and he nodded
"Right well I will let the two of you return to work. Ms Scuito I should have your new schedule ready for you by the end of the week" he said and I nodded
"Thank you Director" I said dragging a still shocked Tony out of the room with me. When we got back out into the hallway I dragged him over to the elevator and pressed the button that would take me down to the lab. I hit Tony on the shoulder and he didn't even flinch so I tried something that was new to my arsenal. I pushed him against the edge of the elevator and kissed him, withing seconds he had reacted to me and was kissing me back.
"I can't believe how cool he was with it" he said and I smiled
"Like he said, the agency has no rules and he has no problem with it. It was only ever Gibbs rule that had stopped us before and now that Gibbs knows I don't think we'll have much of a problem" I told him. He put his arms around my waist.
"Well then I could get used to kissing you in the elevator more" he said and I smiled
"Me too but at least wait until the others know before we do anything to rash at work" I said and he nodded
"When are we going to tell them, before or after lunch?" he asked and I stood in thought for a moment
"After lunch, at least that way you can at least pretend that you've been doing something" I said as the elevator doors opened, and I gave him a quick pecK on the lips before making my way across the hall to my lab.
