CHAPTER 6: AFTER THE FUNERAL...
TIM AND ABBY'S APARTMENT...
A LITTLE OVER TWO HOURS LATER...
18:45 (6: 45 PM)...
In the end, Abby and Tim had fallen asleep; Tim still had one arm around Megan and the other around Abby.
Tim was the first to wake up and looked at the clock.
They had all fallen asleep two and a half hour's ago.
Tim looked to his side where Abby was still asleep and then felt Megan move. Megan then opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Abbs, I know you're comfortable, but we have to get up." Tim said as Megan got off his lap and took off running down the hall toward her room.
"I don't even remember falling asleep." Abby said standing up and stretching.
"I guess we were all more tired then we thought. A lot has happened in the last few days." Tim said and Abby could hear the pain in his voice.
"I know, Tim." Abby said as she put her arms around him again.
"Annie lost her father a little over four years ago and now..." Tim could not go on.
"All we can do is be there and make sure Annie knows that we're here for her." Abby said as he looked into her face
"I'm just glad that I got you back and that we are a family now." Tim told her.
"Me too. I just never thought my life would turn out this way, but I couldn't be any happier." Abby said as he leaned down and gave her a kiss that was cut short by Ryan crying and a yell from Megan.
"Daddy! Door won't open!" Megan yelled coming back into the living room.
"Looks like someone wants his mommy." Tim told her.
Tim followed Megan down the hall, Abby continued past them to go get Ryan. Coming out of Ryan's room after changing his diaper, Tim started to head down the hall.
"Daddy, going to..." Megan began.
"Why don't we just give Annie a little time to herself? She hasn't really had any since all this has happened." Abby suggested.
They knew it would not do any good to knock, because of course Annie being deaf...she would not hear them.
So Abby with Ryan, Megan and Tim started to head to the kitchen when there was knock at the door.
Tim opened it and was not surprised to see who it was...
Tony, Lucas, Jenny, Ziva, Gibbs and Ducky.
Tony had his hands full with four pizzas.
"I thought you might not feel like cooking tonight." Tony told him.
"Thanks, Tony. Let's just put them on the kitchen table." Tim said as he stepped back to let everyone in and then headed for the kitchen.
"How is young, Annabelle?" Ducky asked concerned.
"Right now she's locked herself in the bedroom. Abby suggested we give her a little time to herself, she's been around at least one person since all this happened." Tim said.
"So tragic to lose so much in such a short time as young Annabelle has." Ducky said sadly.
"I know, Duck. She still has all of us and we'll all be there for her." Gibbs said.
"How are you holding up, Timothy?" Ducky asked.
"I-I'm not sure. I just lost my sister and Annie hasn't really said anything since she found out about her mother being dead." Tim confessed.
"We know probie. She may not have been related to the rest of us by blood, but she was our sister too." Tony said as they made their way to the kitchen.
Tony set the pizzas on the table and the kids climbed up into chairs.
"What about, Annie?" Megan asked before she started to eat.
"We'll save her some pizza for later." Tim told his daughter.
Lucas sat at one end of the table, Megan on the left side and Jenny sat at the other end of the table, while Ryan was put in his high chair.
The adults stood around the kitchen just talking, Gibbs was the first to see Annie poke her head around the corner.
Annie, whose eyes were red and puffy from crying, came walking into the kitchen.
'Hi, Annie, how do you feel?' Gibbs signed and this got everyone else's attention.
'I miss my mommy.' Annie signed back.
'I know we all do. Do you want to eat something? We have pizza.' Tim told her.
Annie found a seat on the other side of Jenny. Tim sat a plate in front of her with a piece of pizza on it.
Annie took the piece of pizza and barley ate any of it, before pushing the plate away. She continued to stare at the table not looking at anyone.
"Have you scheduled the appointment with the doctor yet?" Gibbs asked; referring to the same doctor Annie had seen just after losing her father a few years ago. "Yeah, tomorrow at ten thirty." Tim said looking over at Annie.
"Lucas, quit tossing your food." Ziva said, because Lucas had started throwing bits of his pizza first at Jenny and then Megan.
Tony muttered something and Ziva turned to face him, it looked like Tony was trying to hide a smile.
"You have been teaching him to toss his food at the table haven't you?" Ziva asked Tony.
"No, I haven't been teaching Luc to throw food..." Tony told her.
"You did use to throw food across the squad room Tony." Tim said.
"Yeah, but I didn't teach Luc to do that. It's just a part of being a DiNo..." Tony began.
"Jenny is a DiNozzo to and she does not decide to throw food at others." Ziva pointed out.
"That's because Luc is a DiNozzo boy and Jenny must take after her beautiful mother." Tony said as he stepped closer to Ziva.
Then putting his arms around her, he kissed her. Until the each received a smack to the back of the head and broke apart.
"Kids in the room." Gibbs said with a nod at the four kids at the table. "Yeah, get a room next time!" Abby told Tony and Ziva.
"Like you and Probie have at NCIS? As in the reason he's always down in your lab?" Tony asked and Tim turned a little red, as Gibbs hand connected with the back of Tony's head again.
"Why would we need to get a room?" Ziva asked.
"She' means if we're going to..." Tony began.
"Watch it, DiNozzo. I already told you kids in the room." Gibbs told him.
"I wasn't going to say anything like that in front of them. I'll tell you later." Tony promised, giving Ziva a kiss on the lips.
A few minutes later, everyone was done eating. Ziva and Abby started to clean up.
"Tim, could you take care of Ryan?" Abby asked.
"Sure, Abs. " Tim said as he cleaned Ryan up.
Then after getting the baby out of the high chair, Tim followed Tony, Gibbs and Ducky (Who was starting in on one of his long stories) into the living room.
Annie walked down the hall toward the bedroom just behind Megan, Lucas and Jenny.
THE LIVING ROOM...
"Hey, probie, who knew five years ago that any of this was going to happen? Ziva and I getting married. You and Abby getting back together...first comes love, and then comes mar..." Tony started to sing.
"I thought after Abby and I broke up, we would never get back together. I'm glad Abby decided to give me and her another chance. Now I have Abby, Megan and Ryan. Annie has come to live with us. I never imagined any of this would happen or that. I would lose my sister." Tim said looking toward the kitchen, then down at Ryan.
"I know how Annie feels losing her mother." Tony said sadly and they all looked at him.
"How..." Ziva began.
"I lost my mom when I was eight years old, remember?" Tony replied; a sadness in his voice.
"That's right, Anthony, I remember you saying that before." Ducky said.
"I'll need a little help, because I'm still working on the sign language...I could talk to her sometime if you want me to." Tony said not sounding like himself.
"Thanks, Tony, that would be great. It was bad enough when Annie lost her dad, but now her mom to." Tim said sadly.
"Yes, Timothy, but you and your family have a lot of people to help you with this." Ducky told him.
