CHAPTER 5: SARAH'S FUNERAL...
A FEW DAYS LATER...
SARAH'S FUNERAL...
Abby stood beside Tim and just gave him a one-arm hug, because she had Ryan in the other arm. Tim had one arm around Abby and stood there still unable to believe it.
In front of Abby and Tim stood 3 1/2 year old, Megan.
The other day Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, Tim and Abby had explained to Megan, Lucas and Jenny that Sarah was gone.
The three kids had asked question after question. Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, Tim and Abby had answered the best they could.
While the questions were being answered, Annie had gone off to the room that for now she shared with her cousin, Megan.
Abby had left everyone in the living room and gone to check on her. Annie was on the bed that had been set up in Megan's room and crying, something she had not been able to stop since she found out about her mother.
Annie had begun waking up almost every night with nightmares and was once again seeing a doctor, the same one she had seen after the death of her father.
Annie was standing beside Tim, just in front of her grandparents...Katrina and William McGee.
Ziva and Tony stood just on the other side of Annie, with Lucas and Jenny in front of them. Gibbs was on Abby's other side (Abby stood in between Gibbs and Tim.) Ducky, Jimmy and Breena Palmer on the other side of Gibbs.
It was not hard to believe how many people had shown up at Sarah's funeral from NCIS. In the few years she worked at NCIS, she had made many friends.
Not a word was heard through the service by the graveside and then it ended, almost everyone left.
Except, Tim, Abby with Ryan in her arms, Megan, Annie and Tim's parents.
After a few minutes, Annie asked if she could have a few minutes alone at her mother's grave.
So Tim, Abby, Megan and her grandparents walked a short distance away.
Tim's parents holding each other crying for the loss of their daughter, as Abby held Tim in a hug she knew he needed.
Ryan in Abby's arms and Megan in Tim's...it was a family hug.
Finally Annie came over still crying and signed she was ready to go.
It had been a long day for them all and it was now just after four in the afternoon.
TIM AND ABBY'S APARTMENT...
Tim watched as his niece walked slowly down the hall with her head down, making her way to her and Megan's room.
He was unsure what to do; Abby was taking a sleeping Ryan to his room.
Finally, Tim sat down on the couch and Megan climbed up to sit on him. She threw her little arms around her daddy and then Tim spotted Abby coming back down the hall.
"Annie's asleep and it looks like the other two decided to join her." Abby said and Tim looked at Megan. "Abby, I'm g..." Tim began.
"I know, Tim. We'll make it through this...we always do." Abby said as she sat down and leaned against him.
He put one arm around her and one arm around their sleeping daughter.
In a little bit they would take Megan and put her to bed to finish her nap.
For now, everything seemed peaceful.
He knew that wouldn't last long and it was going to be a long time before anything was right again or months before they were all happy again.
