Get Out Of My Head, Deeks!

So I've been working on that more then any other. Plus I've been having a little writer's block on this one as well.

CHAPTER 8: Telling Tim's Family...

TIM'S P.O.V.

This morning we told Director Shepard who said Abby would need to have someone in the lab with her, that would take over while Abby was on leave with the baby.

Ducky had said that he was happy for us. He had figured it out, but waited for us to tell him.

Now I'm sitting here in front of my typewriter, Abby went to lay down in my room about an hour and a half ago...just after we got back to my apartment.

Abby and I had been spending more and more time together. She's been staying at my apartment more then her own.

In a way we were living together, but at the same time it's not offical yet. I wanted to suggest to Abby, that we should move in together. I know right now is not the time, because she still needed time to adjust to everything. I know eventaully it will happen though.

It had been a long day. I had already talked to Abby and she agreed we should tell my family (Sarah, Tim's parents and grandmother, Penny) this weekend. I was stalling on calling my parents, beccause I already knew what my dad's reaction would be reaction would be.

My father would just think I screwed up again. I'm pretty sure that Penny, Sarah and my mom might be happy at the idea.

After I called my mom, I would call Sarah and Penny.

I had the phone in my hand, I know I needed to call my parents and tell them, but I was not so sure I wanted to see my dad. Finally I dialed the number and after a few rings...

"Hey, mom...fine...there's something I need to tell you...no you, dad, Sarah...yeah, the whole family...no, it's good news...I have to tell you in person...I was thinking this weekend...all right...I'll call, Sarah...all right, bye." I hung up and felt Abby wrap her arms around me from behind.

"Hey, Tim, is everything, okay?" Abby asked. "Yeah, I just talked to my mom and she said we could come this weekend. I was getting ready to call, Penny and Sarah." I said.

"I hope the li..." Abby began. "Abby, they will like you. I love you , so what ever they think...they will have to get used to the idea of me and you, plus the baby we're having, okay?" I asked turning to face her and she looked at me, before nodding. "Okay, I'm just scared of everything moving as fast as it is. The baby we're having, I'm spending more here then my own apartment and just...everything." Abby told me.

"I know, Abs. Everything will work out though. I just wish we had told everyone a different way today. Instead of them overhearing what you were saying." I said and her eyes flashed anger. "What's that supposed to me, McGee? It's not like I knew they would walk into my lab at the moment I said that. I didn't mean them to find out that way." Abby told me and unwrapped her arms from around my neck.

"Abby..." I began. "I think I better go back to my own apartment tonight." Abby said gathering her things. "Abby, wait!" I said, but she left slamming the door behind her.

I sigh as I looked at the door. I wanted to go after her, but I didn't know what I would say or if anything I said to her right now would turn into another arguement.

I sat back in the chair and closed my eyes for a moment, what just happened playing in my mind. I knew she was probably going to see, Gibbs and I didn't want to think about what was coming the next time I saw Gibbs.

All I had done was tell Abby the truth, it was her idea to keep the baby a secret and discussing the baby at work...well, I guess it was bound to happened.

ABBY'S P.O.V.

I left Tim's apartment and couldn't stop the tears.

'How could he blame me for something I couldn't control? I never ment for anyone to find out the way they did.'

I caught a cab and gave the driver Gibbs address. I had to talk to someone and right now, talking to Tim was out of the qeustion.

When we finally pulled up in front of Gibbs house, I paid the driver and then I made my way to the basement where I knew Gibbs would be.

GIBBS BASEMENT...

Instead of one voice I heard two...Director Shepard and Gibbs. I almost turned to leave, but something kept me glued to where I was.

"...history, Jen. You've seen..." Gibbs began and I decided it was time to let them know I was there.

"Gibbs?" I asked coming down the stairs and he looked up in surprise from beside his work bench.

Director Shepard was sitting on a stool next to him.

"Abs, what's wrong?" Gibbs asked and I hestanted on telling him, because I knew he would get mad at Tim. "Abby?" It was Director Shepard.

I didn't think they would be here together and now I knew it was a misteak coming here.

"Abs? What's wrong?" Gibbs asked again.

I couldn't looked him in the eyes at first, but finally I did.

"You have to promise not to get mad." I said to Gibbs. "About what?" Gibbs asked. "Tim and I got into a fight. Because of the way you, Tony and Ziva found out about this baby. We were talking about when to tell you earlier today, then you walked into the lab and heard the news." I said.

"It's going to be okay, Abs." Gibbs told me. "I know, it's just everything is happening so fast. It's alot to take in." I said and for a second Gibbs got a far away look in his eyes, I wondered what that was about.

(This is before the team found out about Shannon and Kelly, so I couldn't mention them. I could only say what I did about, Gibbs. Please don't be mad about the idea.)

Then for a while the just sat there in silence, until...

"Abb, you need to talk to him." Gibbs told me and I looked at him. "Gibbs, I..." I began. "Abby, you're getting ready to have a child with him and it's best that you two start talking now...before the baby is born." Gibbs told me and I was surprised. "Gibbs..." I started again.

I knew he was right though and I gave a sigh.

"All right, I didn't mean to interupt you earlier." I said. "It's okay, Abby. We were just talking." Director Shepard told and smiled.

I gave Gibbs a hug and then Director Shepard, before heading up the stairs and back to Tim's apartment.

TIM'S P.O.V.

I was sitting on my couch and thinking...about everything. I brought out of my thoughts when there was a knock at the door. Getting up I made my way to the door and opened it.

"Abby." I said. "Tim, I'm sorry about the way I left." Abby said and looked at me, I took her hand and pulled her into the apartment. "I know you didn't mean..." I began. "We were going to have to tell them anyway, but I know that was not the way to do that. What happned in the elevator?" Abby asked. "Gibbs gave me a head slap and told me never to hurt you." I said and Abby leaned her head on my shoulder.

I put my arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

"I'm not sure how I wil be able tol take care of a newborn." Abby said not moving, but wrapping her arms around me. "We'll figure it out together, Abby. I promise...I already promised that I will be there for you and the baby every step of the way. We'll take 'BABY' steps until we're sure where our relationship is going. Everything will work out." I assured her and Abby hugged me a little tighter for a second.

(Like my little joke?...BABY steps!)

FOUR DAYS LATER...
FRIDAY EVENING...

The last few days had just flown by, now Abby and I were on our way to see my parents, Penny and Sarah. I saw how nervous Abby was in the passengers seat, I know she's scared...even though she's been trying to convince me she's fine.

TIM'S PARENTS HOUSE...

Finally I pulled into the driveway and turned off the car.

"You ready, Abby?" I asked. "Let's go tell them." Abby said opening her door and getting out.

My mom must have heard the car, because the front door opened and she was waiting.

"Tim, you didn't tell us you were bringing someone with you." My mom said. "Hey, mom is everyone here." I asked. "Yes, what's going on?" She asked as we made our way into the house.

The three of us made our way to the living room. My dad, Sarah and Penny had already found seats.

I saw my father look at Abby then at me...I could already see in his eyes I had again disappointed him.

"Hey, Tim, what's the news?" Sarah asked and I took a deep breath, as Abby took my hand. "Are you get..." My mom began. "Abby and I are going to have a baby." I announced and that's when things had to start with my father.

"How do you know this baby is yours?" My father asked and I wanted to hit him. "Because I know, Abby and I love her. She would not lie about something like this." I told him, but I felt like a kid again. "Are you getting mar..." My mom began. "Not anytime soon. We're still talking about the future." I said with a glance at Abby, hoping what I had just said wouln't scare her.
