CHAPTER 19: THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S TO COME...

TIM'S P.O.V.

Ten minutes later I pulled into the driveway, looking at the curb as Sarah pulled her car next to the curb.

Abby still had her eyes closed and seemed asleep. I hated to wake her up, but I had to.

"Abbs..." I said reaching over to take her hand.

"Mmmm..." Came Abby's reply, but her eyes didn't open.

"Come on, Abs. We're home." I said.

She opened her eyes and looked at me.

"Okay." Abby said, but didn't make any attempt to move.

I got out and headed around to her side.

INSIDE THE HOUSE...

I went around to the passenger's side, opened the door and helped her out, I knew she was tired.

Because she leaned on me, I put my arm around her waist and we walked to the door.

Where Sarah, my mom and Penny were waiting with almost all of the gifts.

I was going to help Abby inside, and then I would go back out for the presents in our car. Gibbs promised to come by tomorrow and drop off the cradle.

I still couldn't believe that Gibbs made a cradle...then again I can.

Because Abby is like a daughter to him; I led Abby down the hall to our bedroom and when she lay down...she was asleep, before her head hit the pillow.

I looked at her for a moment longer before heading back down the hall.

My mom, Penny and Sarah still stood in the living room. I noticed that they had brought all the gifts in...Including the ones I had intended to bring in from my car.

"How is she doing, Tim?" My mom asked.

"She was asleep before her head hit the pillow. Thanks for helping." I said and gave them all a hug.

It was a few minutes later that my mom, Sarah and Penny left. Not really feeling tired I sat down at my typewriter, with the intention of working on my book.

I found myself thinking of what it would be like next year though...

Next Christmas it would be me, Abby and our daughter. I couldn't help, but smile at the thought of next Christmas.

By then Abby and I will have been married a year and Kate would be ten months old.

A family with Abby...something I had dreamed of since I met her.

After a while and not coming up with any idea of what to write, I got up with a sigh and headed for the bedroom.

I found a pair of boxers in my draw and pulling after pulling them on, I climbed into bed.

Abby opened her eyes for a second to look at me, then closed them again as I put my arm around her.

It was right before I closed my eyes...that Kate kicked. I smiled then and that was the last thing I knew.

THE NEX MORNING...

ABBY'S P.O.V.

When I woke up Tim had his arm around me and rolling looking at him...I saw a lopsided smile on his face.

He was so handsome...not that I didn't think he was always handsome, because I have. I couldn't believe how lucky or how stupid I had been to break up with him in the first place.

I would have loved to stay lying beside him and watching him sleep, but of course my bladder wasn't going to let me do that. So I slipped out of bed and made my way to the bathroom.

A few minutes I made my way back to the bedroom and Tim was just getting out of bed.

"Morning, Abs." Tim said and when his lips met mine, I threw my arms around his neck deepening the kiss.

It was less than a minute later when, Tim pulled away and I could tell he wanted to continue what was started, but it was at that moment there was a knock at the door.

We looked at the time and realized it was almost nine...when Gibbs said that he and Jenny would be bringing the cradle by.

I reluctantly let go of Tim and he seemed just as reluctant. Tim put on a pair of pants and a shirt, then went to answer the door.

TIM'S P.O.V.

After getting dressed I made my way down the hall and opened the door, already knowing who it was. Sure enough it was Director Shepard and Gibbs; behind them I noticed Sarah, Ziva and Tony.

"Where's Abs?" Gibbs asked.

We made our way to the living room and Gibbs set the cradle down.

"Abby is..." I began.

"Right here and tired of being pregnant." Abby answered walking into the living room.

"I keep wondering what it's going to be like next year." I said with a smile.

"I know, I keep wondering the same thing. I don't want time to fly to fast though..." Abby said and I sat down beside her on the couch.

Everything seemed to be going great, but when Gibbs phone rang...we knew it was about a case.

Because it was our weekend to be on call...
