CHAPTER 10: A BAD MONDAY...
TIM'S P.O.V.
I was exhausted after not getting to sleep until 03:00 this morning and I was having a bad day already.
Abby let out a yell and I fell out of bed. That made me sore, before getting a look at the time.
Abby and I had overslept; we were supposed to be at work almost half an hour ago.
The alarm that was supposed to wake us up...was not set last night.
Then we hurried to get dressed and get ready, not having time to stop so, I could get some coffee.
Abby yelling at me the whole way about us being late. By the time we got to NCIS, she wasn't talking to me.
So now was I not only exhausted, but I had not had any coffee and Abby was mad at me.
NCIS SQUAD ROOM...
I threw my bag down and fell into my chair, closing my eyes until...
"Hey, look who finally decided to show up...McLate." Tony said and I opened my eyes.
"Don't start, Tony." I warned.
"Are you okay, McGee?" Ziva asked and I looked at her.
"It was just a stressful weekend and I didn't get to sleep until 03:00 this morning." I said.
"Abbs...?" Tony began.
"It wasn't, Abby. I took Abby to see my family..." I began.
"You two are that serious. How long have you two been going steady?" Tony joked and I was already not in the mood.
"In case you haven't received the memo, Tony...Abby and I are getting ready to have a baby! So it's been serious since she found out she was pregnant and of course we had to tell my family over the weekend! Therefore, it was a stressful weekend! So enough of the jokes!" I yelled and I could see that several people had stopped to see what the yelling was about.
"McGee! Conference now!" Gibbs yelled and I closed my eyes silently counting to ten, before following Gibbs.
THE ELEVATOR...
"I want to know why you are late and why you decided the entire squad room had to hear you." Gibbs asked.
"My alarm didn't go off and I'm having a bad morning, then Tony had to start in on me." I said and could feel a headache starting.
"How did..." Gibbs began.
"Because he had to start picking on me about my stressful weekend, being late and being tired." I said.
I could feel a head starting to my headache was getting worse, I knew it was due to being tired and being stressed out. After a few more minutes, Gibbs hit the switch and the doors opened to the squad room.
I told him I was going to see Abby. I knew Abby was mad at me, but I couldn't deal with any more jokes from, Tony. I knew he would start in again.
So after Gibbs exited the elevator I hit the button that would take me to the floor with Abby's lab.
ABBY'S LAB...
ABBY'S P.O.V.
After I came into my lab, I felt bad about having yelled at Tim for us being late. I had a feeling from the way I woke him up...this was going to be a bad day.
Of course getting to the lab did not make the morning any better. I had tried to get my babies in the lab up and running this morning, but none of them wanted to cooperate.
That was making mad and I had been off Caf-Pows for a month now, so I was always tired.
I tended to get a little irritated at the slightest thing, then add hormones to that...
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the elevator, looking up I saw Tim enter the lab. He looked as irritated and tired as I was.
"Timmy, what's wrong?" I asked and Tim said one thing.
"DiNozzo." Was all Tim said and I understood.
"Picking on you again?" I asked and Tim nodded.
"Yeah, he had to start in about us being late. So of course at the moment I was yelling at him, Gibbs appeared ...now I have a headache." Tim told me and I put my arms around him.
Tim then put his arms around me and I could feel him relax a little.
"I'm sorry about what happened between us this morning." I told him.
"I know, Abbs. It stressful for us both over the weekend and I didn't get to sleep until after three o'clock this morning." Tim said and I pulled back to look at him.
I had fallen asleep pretty quick last night and had no idea, Tim had not gotten to sleep until hours later. We had been sleeping in the same bed for weeks now, but had not had sex since that one night he had found me at the bar.
"I should have checked last night and made sure the alarm was set." Tim told me.
"Tim, it's not your fault. We were both stressed about what happened over the weekend." I told him.
"I know it's just been..." Tim began and I had to laugh.
"It sounds we're both having a bad morning." I said and Tim looked at me.
"Wh..." Tim began.
"When I got here no body wanted to cooperate with me this morning and I have been wanting a Caf-Pow." I told him.
After a few minutes we set to work, we were right now working on cold cases. I knew today that Tim would be going out in the field...just a feeling.
Now it scared me more then ever before, when he went out in the field. I was afraid when he went out the field that there would be a day he wouldn't come home.
Like what happened to Kate...she was my best friend.
At the thought of Kate, I felt the tears in my eyes.
I was having a hard time getting used to Ziva being on the team.
I mean it seemed like one minute Kate was there and then she was dead.
Then in the blink of an eye this Mossad Officer, Ziva David had taken Kate's place on the team.
"Abby, are you okay?" Tim asked looking at me.
"Just thinking of Kate and everything that's been happening." I said and tried to smile.
"It's going to be okay...eventually. We'll make it through, because we have each other." Tim said and the tears came harder.
This time because not only had I been thinking of Kate and everything, but also what Tim said about us having each other. Tim set down the evidence he had been looking at and reached out to wipe away the tears that I was trying, but failing to hold back.
It's funny the things you think you never want, when they happen...it's then that you realize what you were missing.
I thought I never wanted a kid...that's changed since I found out I was pregnant and I was so happy being together with Tim again.
I didn't feel as scared of commitment anymore; this baby was a HUGE commitment...that's not a relationship with someone you are dating.
A baby is a commitment for the rest of your life. Now I would be connected to Tim the rest of our lives.
TIM'S P.O.V.
Abby was still crying, but at the same time seemed lost in her thoughts. She told me she had been thinking of Kate and everything.
I wondered what she was thinking and was about to ask when Tony came into the lab.
I was still not in the mood to deal with him.
"What do you w...?" I began.
"Boss, says we have a case." Tony told me, looking first at Abby and then me before leaving the lab.
"Are you going to be okay?" I asked Abby and she nodded.
"Yes, Tim, I'm fine. Go on." She told me and when I got to the door, I looked back.
She had been lying when she said she was fine and I hesitated before finally walking out the door.
