The following morning, Kate woke up to the wonderful smell of bacon and eggs. Gibbs had woken up before her and cooked breakfast before they headed to their doctor's appointment.
She could hear that Gibbs was on the phone.
"Hey Tony, I have an appointment this morning, and I don't know how long it will take. I already spoke to the Director. Do we have anything on the marine's murder yet?"
"Nothing much boss but we are going back to the bar to interview the owner and the bouncer again later. Maybe they will remember something."
"Okay. I'll call you guys when I'm done with my appointment."
"Alright boss."
Gibbs hung up the phone and smiled at the sight before him; his pregnant wife standing by the kitchen door, with her hair messy in her USC jersey. He pointed at the chair and for her to sit down.
Kate sat down as ordered by her handsome husband as she watched him bring over the food on the table.
"Don't you dare move from that chair, woman. I'm serving you this morning. You and little Katie need food." Gibbs said teasingly and kissed her.
"Did I ever tell you that you are the best husband a woman could ever ask for?"
"You might have but I don't mind hearing it again and again."
"So which doctor are we going to see today?"
"We are going to see Dr. Johnson, She's an old friend. She was Shannon's OB-GYN. I hope you don't mind. It's just that I trust her."
"I don't mind it at all."
"I know that you can't have coffee, and I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I have a glass of orange juice and a cup of hot chocolate for you. How are you feeling? Any morning sickness?"
"Nope. I'm just feeling lazy and tired. But I'm not dizzy or throwing up. So that's good."
"Yeah, that's good."
They talked some more as they ate.
They arrived at their doctor's office 10 minutes before their appointment. Gibbs had called Dr. Johnson this morning and asked her if they could squeeze them in this morning. The doctor told him that he didn't need to make an appointment to see an old friend and that he and Kate could come in anytime.
Kate and Gibbs didn't wait long. Dr. Johnson came out to greet them and ushered them inside the room.
Gibbs introduced Kate to Dr. Johnson, and said that they wanted to know how far along she is. They also told him that Kate had taken about 5 pregnancy tests and all came back positive. The doctor then asked Kate for her urine and said that she will be back with the results ASAP.
After a few minutes the doctor came back and congratulated them. She told Kate to lie down so she can take an ultrasound.
Both Kate and Gibbs watched the monitor, overjoyed with tears coming down, as they saw their little one, it was tiny and the doctor said, there's definitely a baby and she looks to be about 6 weeks.
Before leaving, Gibbs told his good Dr. Johnson that he had forgotten to add Kate in insurance, so he'll pay the full amount. The doctor told him not to worry about it and even the following visits since they are old friends. Then doctor gave them a list of things to buy for Kate and the baby during her pregnancy. She warned her about food that she can and cannot eat. She also reminded her that the first trimester is the most crucial and to make sure they make another appointment.
After leaving the doctor's office, Kate and Gibbs could hardly contain their joy. They look like two teenagers in love for the first time, kissing in the middle of the parking lot. Both were lost in the kiss until they heard a car honking at them. They stopped and gestured an apology to the man in the car.
They headed down to the pharmacy to buy the stuff on the list and after about an hour, Gibbs dropped Kate off and he went to the office.
When he got to the office, he was nearly two hours late. After putting his stuff down, he called Ziva, McGee and Tony over to his desk and asked them to update him on the case.
Tony and Ziva are going back to the bar after lunch to talk to the owner and the bouncer that night. According to Tony, they seemed a little suspicious, like they were not telling the whole thing. And from the bruises on his face and injuries on his body, he took a beating before he was shot.
McGee said he checked his credit card and it appeared that the last charge on his credit card was around 2 o'clock, that's when the bar closed, so either he left the bar around that time or he never left at all.
All three noticed how relaxed and attentive Gibbs was. Normally, he would be yelling at Tony or McGee for the lack of information or progress on the case. But today, he is smiling and just told them to get back to him if they have anything new.
After the briefing with the three agents, Gibbs headed down to the lab to see Abby. Abby told him that based on the fibers found on his body, the mad owned a dog, because she found some dog hair on him and she also found two different sets of saliva. Before leaving the lab, he gave Abby a kiss on the cheek and told her "great job, Abbs."
After seeing Abby, Gibbs went down to see Ducky, Ducky told him that based on the bruises and injuries, there were more than one man that beat the guy up. He's looking for maybe a heavy-set man and an average size man.
By the end of the day, they finally got their killers. As it turned out, the killers were the bouncer and the brother of the owner of the bar. Kate was right, that it had something to do with a woman. Apparently, the bar owner's brother had his eye on a young woman. But she didn't want to have anything to do with him, but he kept harassing her. So the stepped in and told the guy to just leave the young woman alone. They waited for the Marine in the parking lot and then took him in the back and beat him up there. The bouncer confessed that it was the bar owner's brother who shot the Marine.
It was past 9'oclcok by the time they closed the case. When Gibbs got home, all the lights were off except the one in the dining room. He found a note from her and told him to just heat up the food. She said to wake her up when he gets home. He went to their bedroom to check up on her and when he saw her, she was sleeping peacefully. He watched her for a few minutes and decided not to wake her. He went to the kitchen to heat up the food and ate.
After he finished eating, Gibbs cleaned up and then went down to the basement to check on their boat. It was finally done and Kate's name is on the boat now. He wants to talk to Katie about maybe taking the boat out this weekend. Hopefully, she's not too sick to be on the boat. The thought of he and Katie on their boat together, looking out at the water and feeling the sun and the wind on their faces, just like how he always pictured it, made him just want to curl up next to her at this moment.
After checking the doors and the turning off all the lights, Gibbs joined his sleeping wife in bed.
