"Lord oh, Lord have mercy, here she comes!" Tony cried out, slamming his head into his desk.
Surprisingly he wasn't alone in this action because all of the remaining team members present, including their newest member Kelly, slammed their own heads on their respective desks.
The 'she' who had them begging them for mercy was the pregnant woman with heavy mood swings that also happened to be their boss, Gibbs's fiancé, Kelly's soon to be stepmother, and their mother figure. A woman with an already fiery temper plus mood swings was basically pure hell for the entirety of N.C.I.S.
It didn't help she was at their area in the bullpen four times as much as she was anywhere else since her baby's daddy was their team leader. They were praying alongside Gibbs that this baby would come soon but for totally different reasons.
"Are you upset to see me?" Jenny's eyes welled up and Tony cursed quietly.
"Because if you are then you can either deal with it or get the hell out and find somewhere else to work!" The redhead snapped and Tony barely stifled a groan. She was giving him whiplash with all the sudden mood swings. He'd happily have taken a Gibbs who'd been deprived of coffee for four weeks over the Momzilla he was encountering.
"No ma'am. We were referring to Gertrude from legal. She's been a pain in the ass lately." Tony lied. He wasn't even sure N.C.I.S. employed a woman named Gertrude let alone that if by chance she did that the woman worked in Legal.
"Gertrude!" Jenny snapped turning in a one eighty to face a little petite blonde who took off at full speed. These days running was the only course of action that worked effectively against Momzilla.
"Gotta love how Gibbs takes even longer and more frequent coffee breaks now that she'd become so evil. Hurry she's not here….TO ABBY'S LAB!" Tony shouted after having turned his head in every way possible to make sure his assumption was correct.
No one needed more encouraging then that because the team and quite a few others ran for the elevators at once, only to have them open to reveal Gibbs with a heaping cup of coffee.
"NO MAN! GET THAT COFFEE OUT OF HERE! SHE CAN'T DRINK IT SO WE'LL ALL BE MISERABLE." Tony wasn't even sure who was yelling but he nodded vigorously, whole-heartedly agreeing. "Gibbs, get it out!" Kelly ordered frantically. Footsteps and a deep sniff could be heard behind them so of course those who could reach it in time sprinted for the stairs. Thank goodness for the team they were the first ones on. Other people scattered, climbing up and climbing down the stairs in various directions for various floors.
The only four to head in Abby's blissful sanctity's direction was Gibbs's team.
Abby stood behind the door, her outfit looking more like she was prepard for war than ever and she was armed with seafood….something sure to make the queen nauseous.
Behind her played the lyrics to her latest band's, Hypnogaja's, Looking Glass song.
You can go ask Alice just why the Hatter is Mad.
All are welcome in Wonderland 'til the Queen screams OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
"Take pity on us." Tony begged Abby, ready to get on his hands and his knees if he had to.
So go ask Alice why the hatter is mad.
She'll turn when you see her and laugh and laugh.
All are welcome in wonderland 'til the Queen screams OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
Abby just nodded her head, and allowed them in, slamming the door after them and wishing she had curtains as the elevator opened with a sullen Gibbs being dragged toward them by his ear. The Director knocked on the door and Abby passed the bag containing seafood to Tony, cracking the door open.
"Sorry, Director, but we're having lunch in here and it's seafood…." Abby explained gently.
"I'll be back." Jenny warned and stormed away, dragging her fiancée with her.
ALL ARE WELCOME IN WONDERLAND UNTIL THE QUEEN SCREAMS OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
"Anyone feel like we're in Wonderland and the Queen is the pregnant woman pretty much screaming off with your head at every turn?" Kelly questioned with a sigh, rubbing her neck. "We're going to get injured on the job alright…she'll kill us one by one."
Several hands raised in response to Kelly's first question. "It's going to be a long three months." Kelly sighed.

I skipped ahead quite a bit as you can tell. I actually enjoyed this chapter quite a bit.
