CHAPTER 12: FINDING OUT & A QUESTION...

A few months ago, Abby told me she was pregnant and everything has happened so fast since that night.
We talked about the baby; I took her to meet my family. Then Monday, we received a new case...
FLASHBACK *
It had been a long day for us; Abby had taken the memory card from me and seen the pictures.
Then she ran out of the lab. I followed her and found her in the bathroom.
After a few minutes, I suggested we go talk to Director Shepard about going ahead and getting the person who would take care of Abby's lab while she was on leave.
At first Abby had fought the idea of someone being in her lab months before she had to have someone there. Finally, I convinced her saying that she had to think of herself and the baby.
After talking to Director Shepard, we were told that someone would be there the next day to start.
It was later in the evening when we were sitting on the couch and she had her back leaned against me.
I was thinking about asking her to move in together, because she had been living at my apartment and never went back to her's anymore.
"Tim?" I heard Abby ask.
"What, Abbs?" I asked with my arms still around her.
"Is something wrong? You seem to be thinking hard about something." Abby told me and sounded worried.
I didn't want to tell her, but at the same time, I didn't want her to accuse me of lying to her later.
"I was just thinking about the future." I said at last and knew that would not satisfy her.
"What about the future?" Abby asked and moved a little.
She started to move as if she was trying to get comfortable, but she was also starting to drive me crazy.
"You, the baby and us as a family." I told her.
"Is there more? Don't make me drag it out of you, Tim." Abby said sitting up, so that she was facing me.
"I don't know that now is the right t..." I began.
"Right time for what, McGee?" Abby asked.
I could see I was not getting out of this until I told her.
"Abby, we just found out about the baby less then a week ago and then we got back together...I just..." She cut me off again.
"Spit it out, Tim. What are you saying?" Abby asked and kept looking me straight in the eyes.
"Abby, do you really want to know what I was thinking about?" I asked and she looked at me.
"Would I have asked if I didn't want to know?" She asked me and I had to smile a little bit.
"Since the night you told me you were pregnant we've been living here and you hardly ever go back to your apartment..." I wasn't sure I could continue.
"You want us to move in together?" Abby asked.
"On-only if you want to. I mean I-I'll understand if you think it's too soon." I said and she took my hands in hers.
"No, Tim, we need a bigger place before the baby gets here." She told me and I wasn't sure that I had heard right.
"Are you sure? You want us to move in together?" I asked.
"Yes, Tim. I want us to move in together." She told me and then I felt her press her lips to mine.
I kissed her back and pulled her as close as I could. *
END FLASHBACK
My dad is still not convinced about the fact that Abby is not lying to me about the baby. Therefore, that's just another reason I'm still not speaking to him...one of among many other reasons.
My mom and Penny are thrilled, so is Sarah.
It's funny...because I wondered after Abby broke up with me if this would ever happen.
Today is the day we find out if the baby is a boy or girl.
"Abby, slow down." I said as we made our way across the parking lot.
"I can't, Timmy, today is the day we get to know!" Abby yelled.
"Abby, have you had any Caf-Pows today?" I asked and she looked at me.
"No, I'm just happy!" Abby said sliding her arm through mine.
THE WAITING ROOM...
ABBY'S P.O.V.
I couldn't quit smiling, because I knew or was really hoping that this baby was a girl. I was having a hard time sitting still beside, Tim.
It seemed like we had been waiting forever when...
"Abby Sciuto?" A nurse called and I grabbed Tim's hand pulling him down the hall after the nurse.
She led us to an examination room and said the doctor would be in shortly.
"Hey, Timmy?" I asked and he looked at me.
"Wh..." Tim began, but I cut him off with a kiss.
At first, he returned the kiss and pulled me closer, until...
The door opened and we broke apart, the doctor looked at little surprised and poor Tim turned a little red.
"Ms. S..." The doctor began.
"Call me, Abby and this is, Timothy McGee." I told her.
"I'm Dr. Kate Russell. You can call me, Kate." She told us and I looked at Tim.
I could feel the tears as Tim grabbed my hand.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
"We had a friend named, Kate Todd. She was killed back in May." Tim explained.
"I'm sorry to hear that. If you don't want to call me Kate...you can always call me, Kat or Dr. Russell." Kat told us and I nodded. "Okay, Kat." I said.
Kat offered to give us a minute and then come back. I shook my head and she told me what I needed to do.
"Okay, this gel maybe a little cold..." Kat warned and she wasn't kidding.
"You okay, Abbs?" I heard Tim ask, but I was looking at the screen.
"Do you want to know the sex?" Kat asked.
"YES!" I shouted and she looked at me.
"Calm down, Abby." Tim told me with a laugh, but I was too excited.
"Okay...looks like a g..." I didn't let her finish.
"Girl?" I asked looking at Tim and I could see the smile on his face.
I knew it was a big as mine...a little girl and she would be named after, Kate.
"Yes, and everything is looking good." Kat told me. "A girl." Tim repeated.
After a few minutes, we had our pictures sonogram pictures and we stopped to make our next appointment.
Tim and I stopped to have lunch before going on to the Navy Yard.
THE RESTARAUNT...
I had noticed it just after we left the appointment or maybe before...Tim, looked nervous about something. I thought it was the baby, now I'm not so sure.
"Are you okay, Tim?" I asked and he smiled at me.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be, Abs?" Tim asked.
"What are you hiding? There's something you don't want me to know." I said and his hand went to his pocket before dropping onto the table.
"Abby, I know it's only been a few months since we found out about the baby, got back together and moved in together...I just don't want you to think I'm asking this because I feel that I have to..." Tim began.
My heart began to pound as I realized where this was going.
"Tim..." I began, but nothing else would come out and he looked more nervous then ever.
"Abby, you're different from anyone else I've ever met, but that's one of the reason I love you. I just want to know...Will you marry me, Abby Sciuto." Tim asked and at first, I was stunned.
He pulled out a ring and I gave a choked laugh, because my thought was only Tim would pick out a ring to fit me. He looked at me and I could feel the tears running down my face.
I really hated crying like this in a restaurant...
"T-Tim..." I said looking at the ring and I could see in his eyes that he had been afraid to ask.
"Abby?" Tim asked and I looked at him.
"Yes, Timmy. I will marry you." I whispered and he stood up from his seat.
Slipping the ring on my finger, he pulled me to my feet and I kissed him. There was clapping and cheering.
We broke apart and looked around.
A half an hour later we finally finished eating.
"Ready to go tell everyone?" Tim asked me and I grinned.
"Tim...I can't wait to see the looks on everyone's faces when we tell them." I told him and he took his hand in mine as we walked out the door.
