CHAPTER 16: TIME REALLY DOSE FLY...

ABBY'S P.O.V.

BABY'S KATE'S ROOM...

Right now, I'm sitting in the nursery we have set up for the baby in the rocking chair.

The walls have been painted and we started to get the furniture, some clothes and other things for the nursery.

Therefore, we have almost everything we need.

Time seems to be going by faster now.

Christmas is only a week away and it's hard to believe not long after that ...baby Kate will be here.

The idea of Kate being born in a few months scares me, but at the same time, I am excited.

It's hard to believe everything that has happened since May; Kate being killed in the line of duty...

What happened after the case was finished between Tim and I...

Now I was married to Tim and getting ready to have his baby.

Sometimes I wonder if it would have happened eventually...If Kate had lived.

I used to be scared of a committed relationship with Tim, now I guess I realize...

I didn't have to be scared. Tim will never hurt me, because I know even after I broke up with him that he still loved me.

I was now on maternity leave, so now the days seem long...

I find things to do to pass the day, but most of the time. I keep thinking how much things are getting ready to change...

I will now be dividing my attention between...

Baby Kate when she gets here...

Tim and...

Work...

TIM'S P.O.V.

I walked in the door to the house we had moved into a few months ago, after I suggested we move in together.

It had taken us a few weeks to find the house, but eventually we did.

Gibbs, Tony and even Ziva helped us move in. Ducky and Palmer had been there as well.

Christmas is just a week away and I want to do something special for Abby, I'm just not sure what to do.

I looked around and didn't see Abby on the couch; I began to look for her and finally looked in the nursery...

It looked like she had fallen asleep in the rocking chair. I walked over and for a second I just stood there.

She was more beautiful then ever; she had always been that way to me.

"Abbs." I said and she opened her eyes.

"Hey, Tim." Abby answered looking at me with a smile.

"Do you want to go out tonight?" I asked her.

"Out where?" She questioned.

"Dinner..." Was all I told her, because I didn't want to spoil the surprise that had been set up.
