SUMMARY:

CHAPTER 8: A DECEMBER WEDDING...

Weeks turned into months, the time seemed to fly by as Timothy McGee, and Abby Sciuto planned their wedding.

Having to endure jokes constantly from Tony, whom McGee had asked to be his best man. He had also warned Tony about his jokes at the reception and told him he better lay off the jokes.

Sarah McGee and Ziva were also in the wedding. Gibbs was there to walk Abby down the aisle.

Finally a week before Christmas Eve, December 17th arrived...

DECEMBER 17th...

Abby sat in the dressing room, a million thoughts ran through her mind...

'I can't do this...I just can't marry, McGee. What if something happened?'

These were just a few thoughts that ran through the mind of Abby Sciuto.

There was a knock at the door and Ziva poked her head in.

"Are you ready?" She asked.

"I don't think I can do this." Abby told her.

"Why?" Ziva asked.

"What if something happens?" Abby asked and began talking very fast.

"You love him, yes?" Ziva asked.

"Yes, of course I do." Abby replied without hesitation.

"You felt sure you wanted to marry him when he asked you?" Ziva asked.

"Yes." Abby said again.

"So what's changed?" Ziva asked.

"I.-I'm scared." Abby replied.

"I think everyone feels this way." Ziva told her, as there was another knock at the door.

Ziva went to check and when she opened it, there stood Gibbs.

"It's time." Was all he said.

Slowly and still shaking Abby got to her feet. She walked beside Gibbs as the music started. Then followed Sarah, her date, Tony and Ziva down the aisle.

When she found Timothy McGee's eyes, she knew she was doing the right thing.

Abby and McGee said their vows, then were pronounced man and wife and told they could kiss.

"I now give you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Timothy McGee." Said a voice that sounded far away, as she and Timmy broke this kiss.

Everyone cheered and Tony whistled.

Abby then turn and threw the bouquet that landed in Sarah's hands.

Abby and Tim walked back down the aisle followed by Sarah, her date, then Tony and Ziva.

Pretty soon everyone reached the reception. Where Tim and Abby shared their first dance as newlyweds.

"I knew a long time ago this day would come for us." Tim told her.

"After dating before and then taking this second chance I wasn't so sure. Now I know I've never been so sure of anything in my life. The fact is I do love you and have always loved you." Abby told him and he kissed her, pulling away as the song ended.

A second song started, Tim felt a tap on his shoulder and looked to see Gibbs.

"Mind if I cut in?" Gibbs asked and Tim stepped back as Gibbs began to dance with Abby.

Tim made his way to the edge of the dance floor, where Tony had just received a smack on the back of the head from Ziva.

Probably for telling some joke or remark, he just made.

"We're happy for you, Probie." Tony said slapping Tim on the shoulder.

"Thanks, Tony." Tim said as he watched Abby finish her dance with Gibbs and start to make her way over to him.

Soon the cake was cut and a few toasts were made, with Tony keeping his promise to behave himself.

After a few hours, it was time for Tim and Abby to leave on their honeymoon.

"We'll see you when you get back." Gibbs said giving Abby a hug and kiss on the forehead.

"Yeah, there will be a lot of work for you when you get back." Tony joked as Tim and Abby climbed into Tim's car and started to drive off.

"Ready to go?" Tim asked from inside the car.

"Yes." Was all Abby said as Tim started the car and they drove off.

MEANWHILE BACK WITH EVERYONE ELSE...

"I can't believe they got married. We've been working together for so long and..." Tony began.

"I think their feelings for each other have been there for a long time." Ziva said as they watched the car disappear.

Then Ducky, Jimmy, Gibbs, Ziva and Tony...

Finally, they all headed home.

THE END
