=] This is Chapter 016, and so if you haven't read Chapter 015 then go back -- and read it! It was Jenny meets Gibbs. This is a McAbby wedding! Whoot.

Chapter Sixteen.

Jenny had long since explained the reasoning's behind her disappearance and was still living with Gibbs. They had told the team that nothing was going on between them but Ziva had managed to get it out of Jenny, as difficult as that wasn't, and had 'accidentally' told Abby, who told McGee who told Tony. Tony got a head slap for his troubles as he had been the foolish one to congratulate Gibbs on his relationship.

The month had turned colder and sooner than they realised it was October. Abby had gone in to a mega panic on the first of October and had been running around the NCIS building ever since. Jenny had been upgraded from photograph to actual bridesmaid and Abby had forced her out with Ziva to go and get her dress fitted. Much to Jenny's surprise her dress was a wonderful light red, all the bridesmaid's dresses were.

"This is almost pink Abby. I was expecting something else."

"So was I. My dress is ivory so I wasn't expecting that!" Abby added grinning.

Her dress was indeed ivory; the bodice was a fitted corset style, strapless with a heart shaped bust. The skirt was short, flitting out in an A-line style but finishing just above her knees. There was a black ribbon tied around her waist with a bow tied securely at her left hip. There was a series of black and red beads sewn on to the dress, it made her dress glimmer and had just the right amount of Goth for her. She had picked out the perfect black heels and had found some black gloves to match perfectly.

The bridesmaids dresses were very simple three quarter sleeved, the top was off the shoulder. The skirt flowed straight on from the top and was made out of chiffon with lost of material in the skirt so when the bridesmaids walked their skirts would flow out behind them. Like Abby's dress the light red dresses ended just above their knees. Abby so far had five bridesmaids, Ziva, Jenny, Lissy, her sister Bella and her best friend out of NCIS Jazz.

The weeks in October flew by and soon enough it was October 31 a year to the day when McGee had first proposed. Abby woke up at Ziva's house where she had spent the night along with her sister, best friend and Jenny. She immediately jumped in to the shower when she woke not wanting to waste any time at all. Ziva and Lissy were already awake and were cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Both had already gotten showered and Lissy had a towel wrapped around her head, Ziva's hair was dangling across her back causing her tank top to get wet.

When Abby came downstairs half an hour later her hair also wrapped up in a towel and dressed in tracksuit bottoms and a rock band t-shirt her breakfast was waiting for her on the table. Ziva brought her and Lissy's breakfast in at the same time as Abby came in. Bella, Jazz and Jenny were already sat there eating away. Neither had had their showers yet and so had opted for breakfast before. They all smiled up at Abby when she came in. After breakfast when all the bridesmaids and Abby were fed and watered they all headed off to either get showered or to help Abby get ready. Lissy and Ziva were given the task of painting Abby's nails while the others showered.

"I'm so scared." Abby muttered, as Lissy hugged her.

"That's fine. As long as you want this then it's fine." Abby smiled and sat down on a chair facing a dressing table and mirror. Ziva and Lissy each grabbed one of her hands and grabbed a bottle of black nail polish each. Starting on getting Abby kitted out to get married to the love of her life.

By one o clock Abby was ready to go and four of the bridesmaids were waiting with her in the hallway of Ziva's house. When Ziva came down the stairs with Ben on one hip Abby squealed.

"Oooh he looks so cute in a suit!" Ziva smiled at Abby's comment, she had just been getting Ben dressed in a smart suit for going to the church, although it had taken her nearly half an hour to do so.

"Shall we go?" Jenny said taking Ben off Ziva as she picked up her keys and threw them in to her bag. Ziva walked out the door and held it open for Abby who stepped out to be faced with the black stretch limo that McGee had agreed to pick Abby up to get to the church. Abby's eyes lit up with excitement when she saw it. She turned to her bridesmaids looking at them in surprise, Ziva held her hands up.

"McGee." She stated, as she relieved Jenny of Ben and indicated to the Limo for them to get in to. Abby got in first immensely glad she was getting married that day. Within twenty minutes the limo pulled up outside of a large church and Bella leaned forwards and opened the door, she climbed out and was followed by Jenny, Lissy and then Jazz. Ziva was the last bridesmaid to get out and she first headed off towards the church doors. She slipped inside where Ducky was waiting.

"Here," She passed Ben over to him so he could watch him during the ceremony, "Tell Tim we will be there in a few minutes." Ducky nodded before carrying the small boy through to the main part of the church. Ziva walked back out of the church entrance to find Abby talking to the four bridesmaids. They all entered the church together and waited by the doorway. Ziva and Jenny were standing at the front ready to open the doors, Lissy and Bella were waiting behind the two of them and Jazz was at the side with Abby who was anxious to get in the room, Gibbs had appeared as well as Abby's father waiting to walk her down the aisle.

Jenny and Ziva opened a door each and walked in to the church, they each had a small bouquet of red and black roses. After a few seconds Lissy and Bella followed behind them, and shortly after that Jazz followed on her own. Abby came last, her right arm was hooked in her father's arm while her left was hooked through Gibbs. She was grinning from ear to ear when she walked down the aisle and her smile only grew larger when she set her eyes on her future husband.

When Abby reached the front Gibbs gave Abby's hand to Tim who took it gratefully and smiled at Gibbs who hastened to take a seat on the front row. Abby's father kissed her lightly on the cheek and followed Gibbs to his own seat. Abby turned to look at Tim who she kissed him gently on the lips before they both turned towards the minister.

"You look beautiful Abs." McGee whispered as the minister began reading to the church.

The two remained holding hands throughout the ceremony and when it came to giving their vows they had each written their own.

"Abby, ever since the first time I saw you I knew. I knew you was the most beautiful woman ever. I knew you would be the love of my life and I knew that one day I would be standing here, holding your hand," He squeezed her hand slightly as he said this, "marrying you. The only woman for me. I am yours, eternally."

"Timmy, my Timmy. You were always there for me, through everything, you protected me, gave me your shoulder to cry on and let me scream at you when I was angry. You were the person I would always turn to and the person I will always turn to. I owe everything to you and I will spend the rest of my life making you happy. I love you Tim." Abby whispered the last sentence.

Abby's parents were on the verge of tears as was Gibbs until Jenny nudged him and he blinked rapidly trying to prevent the tears flowing. The minister pronounced Abby and Tim husband and wife and the entire church erupted in applause and cat calls. The two of them shared a passionate kiss before heading down the aisle together.

"I love you Abby McGee." Tim said as they got in to the limo still waiting outside, the church having followed them outside.

"I love you more Tim." Abby replied kissing him again as the limo pulled away from the church to more cheering from the crowd. The limo pulled up a few minutes later outside of Abby and McGee's home so the two could quickly get changed and grab a suitcase ready for the honeymoon. When they arrived at the reception everybody was already there sat at the tables dotted around the room. Abby and Tim went up to the large table at the front and took the two seats in the middle, each of their parents were on the respective sides of the table with siblings next to them. There were about ten large round tables surrounding a large dance floor in the middle.

After a while when Tim and Abby had greeted their parents and settled in to their seats Tony stood up from his seat on the main table as Tim's best man and clinked his spoon on the side of his glass, in an attempt to get everybody's attention.

"Tim and Abby McGee." He held his glass out in front of him and everybody did the same thing. "Never thought I would see the day when Probie got hitched." He grinned at Tim who glared back at him as Abby smiled at them both. "I do know this though, nobody else would take him. No I'm joking, Abby and Tim love each other more than words can say, and it's obvious just from the way they look at each other. So I do believe without further ado I think it's time for the first dance for our lovely new couple!" Tony finished to a room of clapping as Abby and Tim stood up to head out to the dance floor.

"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure."

Tim took a hold of Abby's hand and spun her once as they got on to the dance floor. He pulled her close to him and wrapped one arm around her waist his other hand had Abby's hand securely fastened in it. The two slowly waltzed around the room keeping in time to the rhythm of the music. Towards the end of the song the two of them sped up slightly. When the song was over the hall erupted in cheers and as the next song came on several more people joined the couple on the dance floor.

"This was never the way I planned, not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to, just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you, caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it."

Almost the entire room had gotten up at this point and climbed on to the large dance area. Even Jenny had persuaded Gibbs to get up and dance, Ziva was dancing with Ben and Tony while Lissy had found an unsuspecting boy from Tim's side of the family and pressured him in to dancing with her.

After several more songs the food started to be brought out and everybody quickly shuffled back to their tables incredibly hungry and anxious for food. When the team had all settled back in to their chairs and the starter was served Tony leaned across to Tim and whispered;

"Isn't the food meant to come before the dancing?"

"Abby wanted to dance and then eat. She figured it would be more comfortable." Tony grinned and shook his head as Abby attempted to join in the conversation most likely with some scientific fact based on exercising after eating. The rest of the meal passed by with a gentle chatter and several glasses of wine. The wedding party got up to dance for a while and soon enough every single person was dancing, not necessarily on the dance floor, several very drunk members of Abby's family began dancing on the tables.

When it came time to ship Abby and Tim off on their romantic honeymoon to Hawaii, to an incredibly expensive honeymoon sweet in a very expensive hotel. Tony had been incredibly interested as to find out how much Tim's book had actually fetched him but he refused to divulge. Abby had gone around the entire hall hugging everybody even those she didn't know. The bridesmaids, the NCIS team and her parents got an extra hug each. Eventually the two of them got in to the limo jetting off to their honeymoon in Hawaii. The crowds outside cheered as they left and then as the limo pulled off at the end of the road they all headed back in side to make the most of the alcohol and dance floor.

"I can't believe we're married Timmy."

"I love you more Mrs McGee." Tim added kissing Abby as she smiled at her new name.
