Okay before you read I am sorry for some of my terminology regarding Ducky. Thanks for all the name suggestions, I pretty much know what I'm calling the baby.

I had planned to put it in this chapter but then I changed my mind. Can I say there people have very busy lifes and bad things do happen to good people at least if they work in law enforcement!

Chapter 9

Kate smiled as she watched her boyfriend sleep peacefully; she on the other hand, was very uncomfortable and could only close her eyes.

Kate couldn't believe they had gotten this far, everything they had been through together finally seemed worth it. The pain, the tears, the despair and hoping was all worth it and was what had gotten them to where they were now.

When they started their relationship neither of them truly expected it to get as far as having a child and the possibility of marriage, also, the odds were against them both of them unable to hold down a relationship for more than a couple of months, maybe that's what made them so compatible the fact they were alike in some many ways but different at the same time.

Tony felt Kate's eyes watching him before the morning sun tickled his face through the open curtains. He rolled over to see her brown eyes watching him but focusing on something else.

"Hey baby, couldn't sleep?" he asked, Kate smiled and shook her head

"I couldn't get comfortable, did I wake you?" she asked, she could handle herself not getting a good nights rest but she would feel guilty if she deprived Tony of one.

"No, I slept like a baby and then woke up to see an angel watching over me," Tony whispered, Kate cringed at his cheesy chat up line but her heart couldn't resist melting.

"You are such a ladies man," she laughed hitting him in the arm.

Tony pretended it hurt and pouted as he rubbed it better,

"Not nice Katie-pie, I guess I won't run you a bath this morning," Tony threatened, Kate glared at him

"You wouldn't dare, if you upset me Gibbs will kill you," Kate replied, Tony just smiled at her and got out of bed.

"Wanna bet?" he asked walking into the bathroom,

"Tony don't please, you know how much my bath helps my back please!" Kate begged,

"Did you really think I'd deprive I pregnant woman of her bath time, you'd kill me let alone Gibbs, but thanks for begging I knew you'd fold," Tony laughed turning on the taps. Kate glared at the doorway,

'Just wait Tony Dinozzo, I'll get you back,' she thoughtthrowing back the covers and slowly lifting herself out of the bed.

As Kate wander towards the en-suit she was felt the most painful cramps, not even her teenage period pains could come close to how painful they were.

Tony knew something wasn't right when he heard a 'thud' come from the bedroom. He rushed to see what had happened and found Kate in a heap on the floor clutching her stomach.

"Kate! What's wrong?" Tony asked as he knelt down in front of his girlfriend,

"Don't worry, its just some pregnancy pains," Kate said, smiling through the pain as Tony helped her up and into the bathroom.

Tony was worried as he watched Kate pop two more Advil into her mouth, to kill the pain of her 'pregnancy pains'. He knew that she now could have no more ibuprofen as she was only allowed 6 a day and already had 2 when she woke up and 2 more 4 hours later.

So Tony decided to do his own research on pregnancy's but was interrupted by Kate.

"Tony?" Kate said quietly her hand on her stomach and her face very pale,

"Kate?" Tony asked getting out of his chair,

"Its not moving, something's wrong, why is it moving?" Kate asked tears forming in her eyes,

"Maybe it's asleep," Tony suggested, Kate glared at him,

"Okay, call Ducky, he'll know if there is a problem," Tony said going back over to his desk.

Ducky was with Gibbs down in autopsy explaining how their Petty Officer died when his phone rang, he placed it on loud speaker expecting Abby or another ME asking advice instead he was shocked, as was Gibbs, to hear Kate's shaky voice.

"Caitlin my dear, what on earth is the matter?" Ducky asked as he placed the x-rays of the Petty officer onto the light board

"Something's wrong with the baby Ducky," Kate sobbed, Ducky and Gibbs looked at each other,

"How do you mean, Kate?" asked Gibbs worried for his 'daughter' things had been going so well,

"I've had cramping all day and I can't feel the baby moving in fact...it hasn't moved a lot today and my backs really sore," Kate explained quietly caught off guard that Ducky had put her on loud speaker,

"Kate you need to see a doctor!" Ducky ordered.
