Chapter 8

Kate felt like a whale, she was only 6 months pregnant and yet she felt weighed down and irritable not to mention she wasn't yet at her biggest.

Everything seemed like a chore even work and people were starting to notice and avoid her, getting Gibbs or Tony to tell her what they wanted to say, afraid she would either bite their heads off or break down in tears.

She sat her desk a mountain of paper work to finish and she also had to fill out her forms for her maternity leave which she could start anytime after she hit 8 months, which seemed a long time away.

Normally, Kate would've finished her paper work and been on to the next case but being confined to your desk takes away the desire to move on so she decided to take Tony's approach to it, which is do it only when you have to.

She couldn't wait to hold her baby instead of having to carry it around wearing her hideous maternity clothes than made her feel twice as big as she was. Who knew 9 months was so long!


Tony looked up from the case he was working on to check on a very sullen Kate. Truth be told he was worried about her. Work consisted of paper work, more paper work and the occasional visit to Abby; also he didn't believe she was excited as he was about the baby firstly, she hated the way she looked and because her family had said something's about her actions and consequences of not being married before having children. He had called her in a very emotional phone call well on Kate's part a 'disgrace and disappointment'.

Tony felt for her he really did and tried to cheer her up but he had limited success. Even Gibbs had tried his hand at consoling her but he also had little effect.


Kate saw Tony looking at her, she knew he was worried, in hope of reassuring him she flash him a smile but she knew it didn't work as the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Kate had known her father wouldn't like the idea of her having a child before she was married but she couldn't have possible imagined the reaction she had gotten.

He had yelled and screamed at her down the phone telling how stupid her actions were and that she was a total disappointment with no self-respect, how she had let her family down and had discarded their beliefs and morals. How her siblings, who all had children and were married, were so much more responsible and respectful of their family as they had their kids how God expected of his people.

Kate had just sat and listened, tears poured like two waterfalls down her porcelain face, she had no reply to give to her father excuse to defend herself instead she took the harsh words.

The only words she said during the whole conversation were 3 simple words: 'I love him'


"Kate, how about we go?" Tony asked, technically they had another hour left but he would make Gibbs understand,

Kate looked up surprised at Tony's question,

"We have an hour left," she said looking confused,

"I know, Gibbs won't mind and anyway you seem bored. Lets have some dinner and if you want we can watch a film and decide on names as we only have 3 months left," Tony suggested, getting up and going over to Kate.

He took her hand and guided her around her desk and then held her jacket so she could put it on. Kate turned around smiling a genuine smile.

"I'd like that," Kate whispered as she kissed him.


Kate and Tony sat cuddled on the couch half watching 'Moulin Rouge' while talking about names.

"How about for a boy, we call him Anthony Jr.?" Tony asked

"No!" Kate said not even considering it,

"Why not? Anthony is a good name" Tony said

"I'm not calling our child after you, I'm not having two Tony's especially when he is older, it's more trouble than it's worth," Kate argued back her mind set and Tony knowing that Anthony Jr. was never going to happen.

Tony listened as Kate told him her list of names that she must of been compiling since she was 10 like most girls. This made him smile, she was finally thinking about the positives and enjoying sitting there discussing names instead of thinking about being a disappointment and 'fat'.

Tony placed his hand over Kate's stomach, cherishing every minute they had together before there was three of them and nights of no sleep. He didn't think she was fat and like he had told countless of times before he thought she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.


I need your suggestions for names in your reviews, your favourite boys name and favourite girls name because I'm stuck on what to it and whether it will be a lil boy or girl.
