Chapter 4
"I can't believe she talked you into it!"
"She didn't talk me into it; I think it's a good idea. I want to meet your parents." He followed her into the elevator and she sighed.
"I know, I do want you to meet them. I just wanted you to myself for a bit. If I'm moving in this weekend we'll only have a few days before they come."
He smiled and put his hand on the small of her back as they walked slowly towards the exit.
"They're only staying two nights. We've got months on our own before the baby comes." He reassured her.
"I suppose so."
He stopped and turned her to face him just before they reached the door.
"I'll make it up to you." He murmured, his head bent, his breath tickling her ear. She felt a shiver run down her spine.
"Tonight?" She asked hopefully.
"Oh I think so; we do have a very good reason to celebrate"
She smiled and turned her head so she was gazing into his piercing blue eyes.
"Sounds like a plan." She kissed him slowly. "Why don't we go now in your car? I could stay the night."
"Hmm…" Jethro snaked his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. She couldn't conceal the happy smile as she rested a hand on his chest. "There's just one matter I need to take care of first."
"Oh?" Kate asked innocently, eyebrows raised.
He kissed her firmly and she leant towards him even more, one arm finding its way around his neck. They were both so absorbed in the other that neither heard the ding of the elevator or the swish of the doors as they opened. Kate felt Jethro's hand sliding down from her waist to her lower back when a cough from behind them startled her. She could feel the blush creeping up her cheeks as she turned to find The Director standing with one hand on her hip watching them with an amused smile.
"Oh, Director, excuse us." She tried to step away from Jethro, mortified at being caught, but he held her tightly to his side completely unabashed.
"Agent Todd, Jethro" She surveyed them both expectantly.
"Jen." He nodded politely, but he was wearing a rather self-satisfied smirk.
"Well," she smiled pleasantly. "I'm going home. Congratulations on your news." With that she swept out of the door and into the waiting car, her long cream coat billowing dramatically about her ankles.
"How does she know?" Kate hissed.
"Well, I didn't tell her." Gibbs shrugged unconcernedly and guided her towards his car. "Do you need anything from your place?"
"No," she slipped between the two cars reaching into hers and pulling out a small holdall. "I can manage with this for three days now."
"Yeah?" He asked, surprised, looking at the small bag.
"Well, I need this too." She held up the rather larger purse. "And you." She slipped into the car and Gibbs began to back out of the space.
"Me?" He turned back to face her slightly confused.
"I couldn't fit the toothpaste in."
"Oh," he grinned at her. "So you're only with me for my toothpaste!"
"I don't stay for the boat." Kate teased.
"You seemed to appreciate it last weekend." He winked at her and she blushed again slapping his arm playfully.
"Just concentrate on your driving!"
He chuckled as they hit the main road and he put his foot down, heading for home.
A/N: Apologies for the ridiculous delay but I was super-busy with exams and things! I'm off on holiday so no more updates for a couple of weeks but then I'm going to try to back on track with the weekly updates!
