Baby names are one of my favorite things! I have the baby's name picked out, and I decided that it is going to be a girl. Honestly, REVIEW. Even though there are only two more chapters after this…

Kate wanted to shoot herself. Hypothetically speaking of course, since she would never kill herself, especially with a baby on the way. Eli had decided the safest thing for Ari was if he returned to Israel for a few months. Well, it had been exactly five months since Kate had seen or heard from Ari. She was now seven months pregnant and the baby would not stop kicking. Regardless, Kate wouldn't have gotten much sleep anyway, she didn't know if Ari was alive or not. She hoped so, since she really didn't want to go through labor alone, and she didn't want Tony or Gibbs in there.

Abby, Tony, and Gibbs had been coming over every Saturday to stay with her. Sunday's were days Kate spent alone, so she could relax a little. Every weekday she went into the office at 6 and left at about 7, much to Gibbs' protests. This Saturday though, everyone had been busy. Abby had tickets to a concert and was taking McGee. Tony had a high school reunion and Gibbs was meeting with the new Director. It was unlike them to all be busy on the same day, but Kate didn't mind. At least she wouldn't have to make the apartment look a little presentable, even though Gibbs scolded her every time she moved it seemed.

~*~*~Saturday~*~*~

Kate moaned as she woke up, it was way too early. Obviously this baby was anti-sleep. Kate got a shower without the baby kicking; it obviously enjoyed the shower feeling. She had to stop once while getting dressed due to the baby's protests to the shower being over with.

"Will you quit it?" Kate whispered down to her stomach as she rubbed the spot the baby had kicked. She didn't know if she was having a boy or a girl, and she was having some issues coming up with names. God she wished Ari could be there, he should have been there when she felt the first kick, when she had her first cravings, even when she had morning sickness. Kate had decided that she would call Eli David when she got in the office on Monday to see if Ari was at least alive, and if he was, then if he could come back.

Kate sat down on the couch and turned on the TV, as usual, there was nothing good on during the day. She finally decided to watch the E! channel, she enjoyed learning about people's problems, specifically celebrities. There were three reasons for this, the first being that they came off as perfect, the second was that she wasn't having to learn about them for a case, and mainly because they weren't her problems, and Lord knows she has enough of those.

Kate turned the TV off and grabbed her coat. She also slipped her gun in her purse, just in case. She headed down to the deli to get some lunch; it was the only outing Gibbs would let her make alone.

After getting lunch, she took the long way back to her home, it was a nice day and she never went outside anymore. She was hoping something exciting would happen, like a shooting or something, just so she would have an excuse to stay outside. Nothing happened besides a raccoon climbing out of the sewer.

Kate vacuumed and did the dishes when she got home. Without work or someone here, there really was nothing to do. After cleaning all she could physically clean, Kate watched more TV. At 10, Kate decided to go to sleep. The baby wasn't very happy about that, the protests that little thing put up made Kate cringe and head for the shower.

After an hour long shower, Kate changed and got into bed. The baby was not happy with Kate.

"Can you just stop long enough for me to get into bed, you annoying little cutie?" Kate hissed down at her stomach.

"Now that isn't a nice thing to say to your child, Caitlin."

Kate spun around and smiled when she saw Ari leaning in the door of her bedroom, smirking, "Why didn't you call?"

Ari stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Kate, which was harder than it used to be, "It would endanger you and the 'annoying' baby."

"You don't have to have it kick you in your vital organs every time you do something other than shower!" Kate smiled as she kissed Ari.

"A shower sounds nice." Ari smirked against Kate's lips.

"Hmm, well I have had two already today…"

"One more won't hurt you."

I am stuck on this filler chapter…sorry. Next chapter is the birth…after that an epilogue. Review?
