"Timmy?" Abby asked softly from her hospital bed.
Tim quickly moved from his chair across the room. "It's okay Abs I'm here." He promised her gently as he kissed the back of her hand.
"I'm so sorry… for everything…" She began to sob.
Tim shook his head. "It's okay Abby…"
She smirked. "It's not…" She argued. "I've put you through so much crap…"
"Shhh." Tim hushed her. "You… and our baby are fine."
Abby looked up at him with a smile. "Baby's okay?"
Tim nodded before pressing his lips gently to hers. "Absolutely fine." He assured her.
Abby looked at his facial expression for a moment. "Something's wrong…"
"Abby you need your rest…" Tim tried to deter her.
Abby gave him a glare. "Who's in trouble Tim?"
"Ziva…" Tim said gently.
"No!" Abby cried out softly.
Tim gently pulled her into his arms. "She's fine… in a matter of speaking…"
Abby pushed him back. "What's going on…"
"Her father is in D.C." Tim said quietly. "He wants Ziva and Sienna to go back to Tel Aviv with him."
Abby shook her head furiously. "Tim I need her."
"Abby you're going to be fine…" Tim tried to console her.
"She's the only person I can talk to…" Abby said quietly.
Tim slammed his fist into the mattress. "Try me sometime Abby." Tim said angrily before getting up. "Gibbs is on his way back with Anastasia and Caitlin." He informed her before angrily slamming the door behind him.
"Tim!" Abby choked out, tears falling down her face. Moments later a gentle knock came from the door. "Timmy?" Abby asked hopefully.
Ducky gently opened the door. "I'm sorry Abigail… Timothy left." Ducky sighed as he watched Abby's face change from one of hope to one of guilt. He could feel her heart breaking in half. "I'm sure he'll come around."
Abby shook her head. "It's my fault…"
"Tell me about it." Ducky tried as he pulled the chair from the corner next to her bed.
Abby flinched. "That's just it… I can't tell him anything… Somewhere along the way I lost my trust in him…"
Ducky sighed. "Abigail you've been distancing yourself from him for some time now."
"I wasn't trying to!" Abby argued.
"Abigail you're going to have to remain calm." Ducky said gently.
"I want Tim back." Abby cried softly. "I want… Oliver back…"
Ducky sighed in realization. "Oliver…"
"Ducky he's our only baby boy… He was Timmy's little boy. I killed Timmy's little boy!"
"Abigail!" Ducky tried to calm her down, but she wasn't paying attention she was thinking back to her pregnancy five years ago…
"How're my babies doing?" Tim asked with a smile as he made his way into the lab.
Abby's face broke into a smile. "I feel fat and uncomfortable… But your son seems to be having a great time. He's been kicking all morning."
Tim pressed his lips to hers as he put his hands gently on her abdomen. "I'm sure he appreciates your efforts."
"He better, its way too hot in here for my tastes though." Abby said quietly.
Tim smirked. "It's freezing in here Abs."
"Well your son insists it's not…" Abby said before pressing her hand to her side. "Would you kindly tell your son to stop kicking me in the ribs?" She asked obviously frustrated.
Tim kneeled down and pressed his lips to her stomach. "Alright buddy it's time to leave your mommy alone and let her get some work done."
"Your son is such a daddy's boy… He'll only listen to you. I tell him anything and it's a completely unreasonable request." Abby said with a sigh.
Tim smiled as he stood up. "Well you got two girls. I guess it's finally my turn."
"Alright… you can get up and change his diapers." Abby retorted before turning toward the computer.
"Hey now!" Tim whined. "I'm sorry… I'm sure he'll be a mommy's boy." He said before pressing his lips against her spider web tattoo.
Abby rolled her neck to the side. "Timmy you don't even know how good that feels."
"Well what if I did this?" Tim asked softly before beginning to massage her shoulders.
"Timmy…" Abby moaned quietly.
"Abby what…" Gibbs began to ask before he saw his agent flush against the back of his forensic specialist. "MCGEE!"
Tim jumped and flew away from Abby, both of their cheeks bright red. "Gibbs…" Tim started to apologize before he felt his boss's hand collide with his skull.
"Gibbs!" Abby exclaimed.
"Abby I've told you two to keep it out of the office." Gibbs said sternly.
Abby pressed her hands to her stomach. "I'm sorry Gibbs… I'm just so…" Abby began.
Gibbs began looking extremely uncomfortable. "Abby I don't need to know."
Abby smirked at her victory no matter how small. She was about to speak when her computer began to beep. "Oh great one I have results for you."
"Well try and see if you can make up for…" he began before deciding against it. "What you got Abs?" He returned to his original question.
Abby turned to her computer. "Well… It looks like the only set of fingerprints on the knife belonged to Captain Parker."
"Good work Abs." Gibbs said before turning to leave.
"What?" Abby asked in disbelief at not receiving the customary kiss on her cheek.
"I'm pretty sure Mcgee has given you all the affection you need." Gibbs replied with a smirk before heading up the stairwell.
Abby giggled as she saw Tim's still bright red face. "That's what you get." She said before pulling him into her arms.
Tim shifted uncomfortably. "Abs…"
"Are you really going to let Gibbs put you off?" Abby asked in disbelief.
Tim chuckled. "Of course not." He replied before capturing her hips in his.
After several moments a hesitant voice came from the doorway to the lab. "Abby?" Ziva asked.
Tim tried to pull away but Abby was insistent. "Abs… Ziva." Tim said quietly.
Abby pulled away and laughed at Tim's once again red face. "Hey Zi." Abby greeted her.
"I'm going to go upstairs and face Gibbs' wrath." Tim said with a departing kiss.
"If he tries to kill you remind him I'll kill him!" Abby called after him.
"It sounds like I missed something entertaining." Ziva said with a smirk.
Abby rolled her eyes. "I'm pregnant Zi…I'm sore and tired and hot and I feel fat. Tim was just trying to make me feel better and… Well Gibbs took the back massage a different way…" She explained with a giggle.
Ziva laughed. "I was just coming down to see how you were doing."
Abby pulled a couple of swivel stools over to her desk. "This baby has some sort of personal vendetta against my comfort. However when ever his daddy's around he'll do whatever he asks."
"I'm sure that's not the case…" Ziva tried to comfort her.
"Ow!" Abby exclaimed. "Stop it you!" She said to her torso.
Ziva smirked. "That boy's being pretty violent."
"Tell me about it… But it's all worth it. Timmy's finally getting his little boy."
"Abigail!" Ducky persisted.
"Ducky can you ask them to do another ultrasound?" Abby asked hopefully.
"I'm sure they could. But if you don't mind me asking… Why?" Ducky asked.
"I want to know the sexes of the twins…" Abby said softly.
Ducky looked at her in surprise. "I thought you and Tim decided you didn't want to know."
"I want to know Ducky…" Abby said softly.
Ducky nodded. "I'll see what I can do."
"Abby are you sure you want to know the genders of both twins?" Jeanne asked hesitantly as she rubbed the gel on Abby's exposed torso.
Abby nodded. "I need to know."
"Alright then." Jeanne said quietly. "Abby you're carrying a pair of fraternal twins… One boy and one girl."
Abby crossed her fingers. "And…"
"Your baby boy is developing quite well and your little girl isn't causing any complications with the development of your pregnancy." Jeanne said quietly.
"A boy…" Abby said with a smile. "A baby boy."
Jeanne smiled when she saw Abby's face lighten up. "I take it you're happy?"
"I'm thrilled." Abby assured her.
"Is Doctor Mallard still outside to escort you to your room?" Jeanne asked.
Abby nodded. "He said he'd still be here." Abby said as Jeanne helped her into the wheelchair. Jeanne slowly pushed Abby out into the waiting room where Abby was shocked to see that instead of Ducky, Tim was waiting for her.
"Hey." He said with a small smile.
"Hey." Abby replied as she studied her hands.
"I've got it from here." Tim assured Jeanne. "I talked to Dr. Walker he said it would be fine if I took you to the cafeteria for lunch."
"Tim…" Abby said quietly.
"This isn't up for debate Abby." Tim said as he pushed the wheelchair over to the side of the hallway so he could kneel down in front of her. "We have to talk…"
Abby nodded. "I know."
"I need to know why you feel like you can't talk to me." Tim said gently.
Abby wiped a tear from her eyes. "I killed your baby boy." Abby admitted quietly.
Tim took in a sharp breath. "It wasn't your fault Abs…" Tim tried.
Abby shook her head. "He was your baby boy Tim and nothing's going to change the fact that I lost him."
"Abby…" Tim said gently.
"I thought about leaving." Abby admitted. "I couldn't face you after I lost your son…"
"Abby…" Tim tried again.
"I packed and wrote a letter and everything. I was going to go live back home with my brother." Abby continued to spill.
"Abby you don't have to…" Tim interrupted once again.
"No Tim… you need to know…" Abby insisted. "I went to my lab to get Bert and Ziva was in the bullpen. I ended up staying there overnight just… talking." Abby had tears falling down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to Tim… I just felt like it was my fault… that you weren't ever going to get your baby boy."
"Abby." Tim whispered as he wiped the tears from her cheeks. "It wasn't your fault."
"Tim then who's fault was it?" Abby asked anxiously.
"Abby calm down." Tim said gently as he took her hands in his. "It's going to be okay."
"Timmy it's a boy." Abby said quickly. "We're having a baby boy."
Tim looked at her in disbelief. There she was, her black hair a mess, tears flowing down her cheeks, and she was pregnant with their son. He took in a deep breath, "A boy?"
Abby nodded. "A boy."
Tim gently leaned up and captured her bottom lip in between his. "Abigail Marie Sciuto Mcgee you are the strongest and most amazing woman in the world." Abby simply began to cry harder. "Oh Abs…It's okay… It's okay." He tried to comfort her. "Abs." He said softly as he rubbed the back of her hands.
"I'm sorry…" Abby said quietly. "I'm just…"
"You're wonderful. You're pregnant. And I love you." Tim explained for her.
"You're not mad? After all the crap I put you through?" Abby asked in disbelief.
Tim shook his head. "It hasn't been easy Abs… and I don't know that it's going to be any easier now. But I love you."
Abby didn't say anything put pulled his hand to her stomach. "That's your little boy." She said with a smile.
"He's been kicking?" Tim asked in disbelief.
Abby smiled. "That was the first time."
"Abby… the other twin?" Tim asked quietly.
Abby looked down at his hands on her stomach. "She's a girl."
Tim looked at her sadly. "Abs…"
"It's okay… I understand you want a son…" Abby said quietly.
Tim shook his head. "I don't think you do understand. Our girls… they mean the world to me, just like Oliver did. Had Oliver been a girl… I would have been just as devastated."
"Really?" Abby asked softly.
"Of course." Tim said as he kissed her forehead.
"Does that mean you're not excited about our baby boy?" Abby asked and the tears began again.
Tim chuckled. "Oh Abs…" He said as he gently wiped her tears off her cheeks. "You know I love you. So I'm just going to kiss you instead of trying to talk to you logically while you're hormonal."
"I'm not hormonal." Abby argued as she turned her face away.
"Of course you're not." Tim agreed with a smirk.
"Can we go back to my room?" Abby asked softly. "I'm tired…"
"Of course we can Abby." Tim promised her. "But can you promise me one thing?"
"What?" Abby looked up at him, her green eyes bright.
"You'll talk to me when you feel like you need someone." Tim requested.
"Well… when we get back to my room I'll talk to you about how I feel like I could use a back massage." Abby said with a smirk.
"Absolutely."
Author's Note: So I've finally gotten to a chapter I've been waiting for. I wrote half of this awhile ago but it didn't really fit in at that part of the story. Finally I'm getting out of the depressing drama and into the family drama. (Also as a note to the anonymous reviewer, Tim is one of my favorite characters. The only reason behind all the 'bashing' of his character is because of circumstances, not because I don't like him.) Thanks so much to all the reviews! I do try to respond to any asking questions or with critique, but I do appreciate them all! Please review!
