I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
"Are you sure it's her in the picture Abs?" Gibbs asked once Abby had hung up the phone.
"Well, it may not be the best quality, but I'm sure it's her!" Abby said walking up to the plasma and looking at the picture. It was small, from a security camera at least 50 metres away and the quality was bad on it.
"Abby, she's fine! She said she's in Indiana and McGoo over there showed that" Tony said walking over to his desk and grabbing his backpack. "Boss, we've been here for three days straight" He complained when Gibbs glared at him,
"Go home" Gibbs said with a wave of his hand. He looked at Abby and saw her standing close to the plasma, staring at the picture. He turned his head towards McGee. "Make sure she gets home"
"Yes sir" McGee said nervously as he took Abby's arm. She was reluctant until McGee said in her ear "Kate's fine Abs, we'll go home"
Abby turned her head and looked at him before nodded and taking his hand, letting him lead her to the elevator.
Gibbs watched the two walk away and sighed, sitting back down at his desk. He wanted to tell them rule #12, but McGee wasn't a part of his team and Abby seemed happy.
He took one last look at the picture on the screen before heading home to his boat.
Two weeks later Kate sat on one of the chairs of her dining room table, her knees pressed to her chest and looking at nothing.
That's how Ari found her when he walked into the apartment. He went straight over to her and crouched beside her.
"Caitlin?" He said. Her head snapped towards him, her eyes wide, like she didn't realize he had even arrived. She swallowed.
"I-I took a test" She said in a low voice. He put a hand on her arm.
"A test?" He asked. She nodded.
"Pregnancy test" She said.
"Oh" He said, one hand going up at scratch the back of his neck absent mindedly. "What did it say?" He asked. Kate shrugged.
"I haven't looked yet" She said softly.
"Would you like me to look?" He asked. She pressed her forehead against her knee and took a deep breath before standing. He stood up with her and she took his hand. They walked into the bathroom, and Kate pointed to the test on the sink counter. He walked to it while she wrapped her arms around herself. Ari picked the test up and looked at it for a moment before looking at her.
"It is negative" He said, releasing the breath he hadn't realized he had been holding in.
Kate's hands dropped to her sides and she took let out a breath "Ok, good" She said. Ari threw the test in the trash can next to the sink and turned to her, ushering her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.
They sat down on the end of the bed and he faced her "How long were you sitting at that table?" He asked.
"Three hours" She said with a slight laugh.
"You should have told me if you thought you were pregnant" He said.
Kate looked down at her hands "It only accrued to me today. I was thinking after April called me and told me how Dad was doing, and it hit me how I was late…so I took the test"
Ari nodded and pulled her so her back was against his chest, her head turning so her forehead was pressed against his jaw.
"We won't be able to have kids will we?" She said.
"No. It is too dangerous" He murmured, she nodded.
"I know" She whispered. A few minutes later he could tell she had fallen asleep, so her laid her down and covered her with the blanket that was draped over the chair in the corner of the bedroom.
He went back into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, putting his hands on the edges of the counter and leaned forward, closing his eyes. He could never give her everything she wanted.
Maybe marrying her was a bad idea.
