AN/ Thanks for the reviews. They are really encouraging me to continue.

This chapter is e little longer than the others are. There are parts I don't like much but I'm not very gifted in writing.

By the way, Happy Valentine's Day.

Now it was hard to investigate when Tim any Abby weren't there. Gibbs had managed, as always. Tony and Ziva had to work more then usually. This didn't bother them because they spent this time together. Gibbs knew that they weren't concentrated all the time. He knew they would be embarrassed of his presence. He tried to spend as much time as possible out of the squad room. He spent a lot of time in Jenny's office. He helped her with her work, so she could finish earlier and they could go to a restaurant.

Finally, Tim and Abby were back. The ream didn't work on any case, so Gibbs decided to take them from the airport.

'Gibbs!' Abby shouted when she saw him. She hugged him so strong that he could barely breathe.

'Glad to see you too, Abby.' Gibbs answered.

'Abby.' Tim said. 'I don't really want to arrest you for boss' murder.'

'Timmy, I'm not going to murder Gibbs.' Abby answered.

'Well, Abby. You were just going to struggle me.' Gibbs laughed.

'Oh. I'm sorry, Gibbs.'

'Don't worry. Let's go. Car's outside. How was the flight?' Gibbs asked

'Good. If we don't count the turbulence at Abby throwing up from the beginning.' Tim said.

'I'm fine, Tim.' Abby said

They entered the car. Gibbs was driving. Abby and Tim sat on the back seat.

'Anything new?' Tim asked.

'A lot.' Gibbs smiled.

'How are Ducky, Jimmy, Tony, Ziva, Director Shepperd? Abby asked.

'Fine.' Gibbs answered.

'What happened while we were gone?' Abby asked. 'Some new agent, new director, new couple, new equipment for my lab?'

'Agents are the same. Agent Lee is replacing McGee. Jenny's still director, Tony and Ziva are together, you got a new spectrometer.' Gibbs said.

'What!!!' Abby said.

'Tony broke the old one and we had to buy a new one.' Gibbs said with a smile.

'Boss, I thing Abby reacted that way about you saying that Tony and Ziva are together.' McGee said. Seeing Gibbs' face he added: 'Not that you didn't know that, boss.'

'You must have found out this morning.' Abby said.

'What makes you think so?' Gibbs asked.

'Well, I talked to Ziva yesterday. She was still alive and she didn't mention Tony being dead.' Abby said.

'Why should they be dead?' Gibbs asked a little curious.

'Rule 12, boss?' McGee said

'McGee, Rule 12 changed a long time ago. Now it's: don't let your personal relationships influence your work.' Gibbs said

'I see.' Abby said. 'You changed it, so no one could break it, including you.'

'What do you mean, Abbs?' Gibbs asked.

'Never mind. How long do you know about Tony and Ziva?'

'Since the very beginning: your weddings day.'

'Ziva didn't tell me anything.' Abby said. She sounded a little angry.

'That would be because it happened so quickly. They didn't realise what was happening.'

'Maybe. But they know that you know?' McGee asked.

'I suppose so. I can't be sure though. They don't really show it at work.' Gibbs answered. ' Well, How was your honeymoon?'

They continued to roll. Abby and Tim narrowed Gibbs everything (or not really) from Paris, which reminded him of the time he had been there undercover with Jen. They arrived at their new apartment.

'Thank you for driving us home, Gibbs.' Abby said and hugged him.

'Yeah, thank you, boss.' Tim said.

'You're welcome.' Gibbs smiled. His phone rang. 'Yeah. Gibbs. Good. See you there, Tony. Call Ducky.'

'Something wrong, boss?' Tim asked

''We've got a dead marine in front of the White House. Tim, you're with me. Abby, take a taxi. Wait for us in the lab.' Gibbs said. As he saw Tim's face he asked furious. 'What McGee?'

'May I have a word, boss?' Quickly.' Tim asked and he and Gibbs stood in the living room while Abby went to the bedroom.

'You have 2 minutes, McGee.' Gibbs said.

'Look. For a few days, Abby isn't feeling really fine. She's throwing up for a few days, is very irritable, collapsed twice. I don't have a clue what she has, but I thought she could stay at home until she goes to a doctor.'

'I'm fine, Timmy.' Abby reappeared in the living room.

'Abby, I'm worried. I want you to see a doctor.'

'I'm fine. I'm just a little bit tired.'

Gibbs asked something in ASL. She laughed and answered. They chatted for a few minuted. Then Gibbs laughed too.

'She's fine, McGee. She can come.' He said

'But, boss…' McGee tried to argue.

'But' and Gibbs insisted on the word. 'You're going to the doctor as soon as possible.'

'Sure' she said

'Right. I'll be in the car. McGee, I'm waiting for you.' Gibbs said. 'You've got 5 minutes, Abs.'

Gibbs went to the car with a smile. He whished good luck to McGee; He didn't think that this was the right moment for Abby and Tim to have the conversation they had. They needed to be prepared, especially Tim. However, he didn't want his agent to worry the whole day. He was sitting at the drivers place when he saw Abby and her husband walk out of the building. They were both smiling. Tim kissed her and went to the war.

They travelled the whole way to the White House in silence. When they arrived Tony and Ziva were already there.

'McGee – photos.' Gibbs ordered. 'DiNozzo – report.'

'Marine's name's Magor George Harrison. He was supposed to be handling the Football. He didn't show for work and the Sicret Service sant an agent. He went out and found the body at the main gate.'

'It's not there, now. It's been removed?'

'Well, they didn't want the press to see the body. By the way, boss, they are here and want to talk to you. You know – how's going the investigation and thinks like that.'

'So?' the ex-marine asked

'I don't know. The last time you met the press, it was not very nice to see.'

'Ya think, DiNozzo?' Gibbs asked and slapped him on the back of the head.

'Shutting up, boss.' Tony said.

Gibbs went to see Ducky.

'What do we have, Duk?'

'Well, Jethro, from what I can see, knowing that the bony has been removed… by the way this reminds me a lot of that girl, top model…'

'COD, Ducky.'

'I'd say natural causes, but it is possible that it's been caused by a poison.'

'TOD?'

'Oh, a couple of hours, ago.' Ducky said. 'Mr Palmer, let's go back to HQ. Bu the way, Jethro, does all this remind you something?'

'Kate's arrival in out team at Air Force One, 3 years ago.' Gibbs said.

'Exactly.' Ducky and there was a lot of sadness in his voice.

Back to HQ: 2 days later

Gibbs has bad mood. They had stopped an Al Qaeda attack as they had done 3 years ago, when Kate joined the team. The only think they had to do now was to prove that the technician was helping the terrorists. Gibbs, Tony and McGee entered Abby's lab.

'Give me good news, Abs.' Gibbs said.

'The doctor said that the baby is fine.' Abby said

'You mean the spectrometer?' Tony said. 'I didn't know it was broken. It was new.'

McGee looked at Gibbs and asked:

'May I, boss?'

'Sure.' Gibbs smiled and Tim slapped Tony on the back of the head.

'What was that for?' Tony asked.

'For calling my baby, mast spectrometer.' McGee explained

'What baby.' Tony still didn't understand

'Our baby.' Abby and Tim answered in the same time.

Tim went behind Abby, hugged her and put his hand above her which was placed on her stomach.

'Your baby? A real one?' Tony asked shocked

'No, Tony. A fake one.' McGee said ironically 'Of course a real one.'

'I didn't know you were pregnant, Abbs.' Tony said.

'Now you know, DiNozzo.' Gibbs said. 'May we continue?'

'Of course.' Abby said

'What are the good news?' Gibbs asked.

'What makes you think that the news are good? Abby asked. She had real fun.

'I wouldn't be here if they weren't.' Gibbs answered.

'I'm testing the tissue you gave me for explosives.'

'And?'

'The results will be ready within 5 minutes.' Abby said. ' In the mean time, I was wondering if you could help us to find a name for the baby.'

'Well, how can we help you, when we don't know if it's a boy or a girl?' Tony asked.

'You find a name for both and when it comes, it will have a name.' Ziva entered the lab.

'Wait, you know?' Tony asked but nobody paid attention to him.

'Any ideas, Ziva?' Tim asked

'Nope.' Ziva answered.

'If it's a boy…' Abby began and looked at Gibbs. 'I think that I'll name it after…'

'Don't even think about it.' Gibbs interrupted her.

'You see?' Tim said. 'Palmer owes me ten bucks.'

'Why?' Tony asked.

'Timmy bet him that Gibbs would react that way.' Abby explained. 'Why not, Gibbs? Ducky thinks it's a great idea.'

'Name it after him, then.' Theteam leader said.

'Very good. If it's a boy, it's name will be Donald.'

'And if it's a girl?' Ziva asked.

'Well, I think that she should honor the memory of two persons that would be glad to know her. What do you think about Kelly Cathlin McGee?'

Gibbs suddenly turned around.

'Don't looke at me like that, Gibbs.' Abby said.

'Abby please.'

'No, Gibbs. She's you daughter. You're a father to me. So she something like my sister. Please, Gibbs'

'Fine, then.'

'Thank you' The Goth hugged him. Then one of Abby's children (as she like to call her equipment) biped. 'The test is ready. It's positive. You can reserve one more plain to Gitmo.'

'Good work' Gibbs kissed her on the cheek. ' DiNozzo, David with me.'

Ziva and Gibbs walked out. Tony asked Abby.

'I was the only one not to know?'

'Before the doors close, Tony.' They heard Gibbs' voice from the elevator and Tony ran out the lab.

In case you didn't understand Tony is making a confusion because Abby always talks about her babies when she's talking about equipment.

Next chapter happens 4 months later. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to give them to me. But even if you don't have any ideas, post a review. They really encourage me. Thanks
