Hello All.

Well, this is the end of this lovely fic. I'm sad :(

This has been my favorite fic I've ever written, and I'm so happy people liked it.

And don't forget that I'm writing more Kari's, so put me on Author Alert so you know when they're up. lol.

Thanks to those who have stuck by this fic since the beginning, the reviews I got were the best, and what kept the fic going.

This chapter has flashbacks to bits throughout the whole fic. Enjoy!

So, I present to you, the final chapter of Chained To You.

We've gotta hold on, to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other, and that's alot
For love.

"How'd you get in here?" Kate asked standing up.

"Caitlin, picking a lock is one of the first things you learn at Mossad" He said with a chuckle. Kate stood and cautiously walked towards him.

"You came back" She stated.

"I am a man who keeps his word Caitlin" He said pushing himself off the doorway and taking a step towards her.

"I'm looking for Caitlin Todd's room" Gibbs said as he, McGee, Tony and Abby rushed towards the nurses' station at Bethesda.

"Please wait a moment" The nurse said. Gibbs banged his fist on the desk, startling the nurse.

"We need to know now" He practically yelled. The nurse quickly typed something into her computer.

"I'll get her doctor for you" She said nervously before quickly running off.

Gibbs turned around to face his Team with a sigh. Suddenly someone walked up to him,

"Special Agent Gibbs?" The person said. Gibbs looked at the Small Israeli woman in front of him.

"Yeah?"

"My name is Ziva David. I work for Mossad, I am the one who found Kate" Ziva said extending her hand. Gibbs just looked at her hand briefly, so she put it on her hip. "I found Kate in a basement, she was taken by a man by the name of Aza, I have been trailing him for a few weeks now and saw him take Kate to his safe house. I got there too late, he had injected her with a poison. That is what the doctors are treating now" She said.

Gibbs looked at her for a long moment before nodding. Ziva smiled slightly before turning to go sit back down in the waiting room chairs.

She was joined quickly by Tony.

"You're Mossad?" He asked. Ziva turned her head to look at him.

"Shalom Tony. It has been quite a while" She said. Tony looked down.

"Do you know if Kate's gonna be ok?"

"What the hell are you doing?!" Kate yelled after Ari had put Gerald and Ducky in the cooler. She was lying on the autopsy table again after Ari had ordered her there, which she had been pretty angry about.

He walked over, putting his hand on her arm, but she pushed it away from her.

"Caitlin, I am on a mission" He whispered in her ear. She stared at him for a moment before sitting up and glaring at him.

"So that gave you the right to shoot Gerald? What the hell were you thinking?" She hissed. He chuckled and leaned against the table next to her. "Ari! This isn't funny, Gibbs will want to kill you" She said.

He lifted his hand and ran it through the side of her hair, leaving his hand on the side of her neck. "It will be fine" He leaned forward and kissed her slowly, when he went to deepen the kiss she pulled away.

"This is so inappropriate" She said breathlessly.

The doctor had quickly come and showed the Team to Kate's room, explaining what was happening.

"The poison is very new, there is not antidote, but we are treating her as best we can. We'll hopfully be able to stop it before it gets to any of her vital organs"

Once they got into Kate's room the doctor started to check her stats while the Team stood in the doorway.

Kate was lying in a hospital gown in the bed, she was lying on her side, her eyes closed, sweating and shaking slightly. Abby gasped and buried her head into McGee's shoulder. They all walked into the room, Tony standing at the foot of the bed, Gibbs standing next to the door still, and McGee and Abby at the side of the bed.

The doctor made a noise of worry and shook Kate's shoulder slightly.

"Miss Todd. Is there anyone else you would like me to call? Family?" The doctor asked her once her eyes opened. She nodded weakly.

"My husband" She said quietly "His number's in my cell phone"

"I'll get it for him Kate" Abby said squeezing her best friend's arm before going out of the room with the doctor.

"You're married?!" Tony exclaimed, making Kate wince "How long have you been married?"

"A few months" She replied, her head rolling to the side on the pillow away from them all.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Gibbs asked, trying not to get angry at her.

"I had...reasons" She weakly before her eyes closed and she fell into a deep sleep.

"Caitlin…?"

She took another deep breath and looked away from him "I can't…I can't fall in love with you"

He walked around the couch and stood a few feet in front of her and crossed him arms over his chest "Good luck with that"

"Ari, It's Abby" Abby said into the hospital phone, Kate's cell, which had been found on the ground near her car, in her hand.

"Abby. Is Caitlin alright?"

Abby took a deep breath "No, you gotta get to Bethesda, I'll meet you outside"

"Where the hell are you Ari?!" She hissed.

He stepped out from behind the bookcase at the side of the room with a smirk. "I'm very good at hiding. When I was a child I was always the last found in hide and seek"

Abby met Ari outside the hospital 15 minutes later. He had parked his bike and quickly walked over to her.

"What has happened?" He asked.

"She was kidnapped, and the guy who kidnapped her injected her with something and now she has this poison in her and the doctors are doing everything they can but they asked if there was anyone they could call, like family, and that's never good! And she looks really bad, she's pale and shaking and I know she's scared, even though she won't admit it. And she really needs you" Abby said. Ari nodded.

"Which room is she in?" He asked quickly.

"I'll show you" She said turning and walking into the hospital. "The guys are in the cafeteria, so you're safe" She said. "This is her room" Abby said indicating to the room in front of them.

"Thank you Abby"

"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.

Ari quickly walked down the hospital hall behind Abby and went straight into Kate's hospital room, Abby staying out in the hall.

"Caitlin, what have they done to you?" He murmured, sitting in the chair next to her and taking her hand in his.

Her eyes opened slightly, her body still shaking "Ari" She muttered "I'm scared"

"Shh" He whispered "You will be fine"

She tugged on his hand, she was so weak it barely made it move, but he knew what she wanted.

"Caitlin, I will never be able to give you everything you desire" He said. She gave him a soft look.

"Ari, you already have" She said, putting her hand on the side of his face, the stubble there rubbing against her fingers.

"How's she going?" Gibbs asked walking up to Abby, who quickly spun around to face him.

"Ah…She's the same, but the doctor said she needed her rest and not to go in there" She said quickly. Gibbs raised an eyebrow and looked behind her through the door. His face imediantly turned to murderous and he reached for his side arm.

Abby put a hand on top of his "Gibbs don't. Look"

Gibbs looked into the room and watched as Kate said something and the saw Ari lie on the bed next to her.

"He's her husband?" He asked angrily.

"Yeah" Abby said, and then sighed as Gibbs stormed down the hallway.

"I should tie you to the bed" Kate said after a while "Maybe then you'll stop trying to get yourself killed"

Ari smirked against Kate's hair "Yes. You do seem to like doing that"

Ari laid down next to Kate and gathered her in his arms. She was shaking and sweat was gathering on her forehead.

He held her as close to him as he could, her hands on his shoulders and her forehead against his chest.

"Ari" She said quietly, tears running down her face "It hurts" She said, her entire body shaking.

"I know Caitlin" He said softly as he stroked her hair. "Stay awake. You can fight this"

A sob escaped her throat and her shaking became worse "I don't think I can"

"But you must Caitlin" He soothed. She nodded against his neck and he held her tighter "You must" he whispered, a tear making its way down his cheek.

She looked up at him, her shaking manage to almost make him shake off the bed "Never seen you cry" She whispered, her eyes only half open, and tears running down her face.

"Shh" He said with a small smirk, brushing her hair away from her sweaty forehead before pressing a kiss there.

"I love you Ari" She murmured, her forehead falling back onto his shoulder.

"I love you too, my Caitlin" He murmured back.

He suddenly felt her stop shaking "Caitlin" He said shaking her slightly, he heard the long beep from the heart monitor. He looked down at her limp form "...Caitlin?"

The End.

...anyone up for a sequal?
