CHAPTER 17: DINNER...
ABBY'S P.O.V.
It was a while later that I was dressed and we headed out the door. We pulled into the parking lot of Italian restaurant.
"Trying to be romantic, Timmy?" I asked looping my arm through his.
"I just wanted to do something special for you, Abs." Tim answered.
"I already have the best two presents...you and baby Kate." I replied putting my hand on my abdomen as we walked in the door.
We were led to a table that Tim had obviously reserved and I sat down. I laughed as I did, because it was at the moment that baby Kate decided to start kicking.
"What are you laughing about, Abs?" Tim asked.
"Our daughter decided now is the time to start kicking." I explained.
"These last few months have gone by fast. Less than two months and then Kate will be here. Then a few months after that..." Tim didn't continue and I felt the tears in my eyes.
"It will be one year ago, Kate died." I whispered.
"Abby, I'm sorry I didn't m..." Tim began.
"Tim, never apologize it..." I started with a shaky laugh.
"Sign of weakness, I know." Tim responded.
"It's still weird, Tim. Everything that's happening and I wonder..." I stopped myself.
"Wonder what, Abs?" Tim inquired.
"I wonder if this would have eventually happened if Kate was still alive. What happened that night...it happened, because we were upset over losing, Kate." I replied. "I've been wondering that too, it might have eventually." Tim said taking my hand.
"I can't believe it took losing Kate for all this to happen and us to get back together." I told him quietly.
After that we ordered our dinner and continued to talk. I noticed that Tim checked the time and I wondered why. We had been here for about an hour when Tim checked his watch again, I can tell you it was really getting on my nerves.
"We have to leave soon for the surprise." Tim told me after looking at his watch again.
"Come on, Mc..." I began with a smile.
"Abby, no Mc names I don't want to think about Tony right now and if I told you what the surprise is...it wouldn't be a surprise." Tim stated.
"I was going to call you, McGee. I guess you don't want me to call you that anymore?" I asked.
"Don't you think that would be kind of confusing...considering there are three of us here at this table? Me, you and our daughter." Tim remarked and I laughed.
"Fine, Tim. I'm ready to go any time you are." I told him with a sigh.
The check was brought to us and Tim paid, leaving the waiter a tip. Then we were on our way.
"All right, time for your surprise." Tim declared mysteriously.
It didn't take long before I realized where we were going.
"Timmy, why are we going to Gibbs house?" I asked.
"Because that's where the surprise is." Tim replied with a lopsided smile and not saying another word.
We pulled up in front of Gibbs house, when I realized there was several cars already parked nearby.
"You go ahead and head inside. I have something to go do, but I will be back in a little bit." Tim suggested.
"Tim, you can't tell me you have a surprise then drop m..." I began.
"It's a surprise for you, Abs." Tim explained.
"All right, but you better come back soon." I told him.
He got out and came around to my side to help me out of the car. I took his hand and he helped me get out.
He started to give me a kiss on the cheek; I turned my head so his lips landed on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck. As he put on hand on my abdomen, where our daughter was kicking again.
I made my way to the front door and when I looked back Tim was pulling away from the curb.
INSIDE GIBBS HOUSE...
I walked inside and it seemed there was no light on. I stared to make my way to the basement thinking that's where the surprise was, when the living room light came on and almost scared me to death.
"Surprise!"
And I have to tell you I was surprised...
