Second Chance Chapter 13
I decided to continue this story after seeing Sasha Alexander again on tv. I have missed her and I am so happy for her that she has a new hit show now and I love her show with Angie Harmon. She's also expecting her second child and she is really happy.
Kate and Gibbs have been back for a month now from their vacation in California and Italy. Kate is now on her fifth month and is definitely showing They have an appointment today to find out if they are having a boy or a girl. But Gibbs is 100% sure that it's a girl.
For the first 4 and a half months, pregnancy was difficult for Kate with constant morning sickness and also nausea. Kate thought the morning sickness would never go away. But the last two weeks, the morning sickness and nausea have stopped but their little one is getting heavier by the day.
She dialed Gibbs' number to remind him about the appointment.
"Hey, babe I was just calling to remind you about our appointment today."
"Hello beautiful. Did you think I would forget about it? Katie, you should know by now that when it comes to you and that little munchkin of ours, I would not forget. I am in the elevator now and heading over to pick you up. I thought we should go get lunch first. What do you feel like having today, love?"
"You're in a great mood today. You guys don't have a case?"
"Well, that and plus, we get to see our little one again today. Also, you make me so happy Katie."
You make me so happy too, Gibbs. I love you. I'll see you soon, okay?"
Gibbs and Kate ate at the Thai restaurant they both love so much. Kate ordered her usual papaya salad with no chili since the doctor have specifically ordered her to stay away from spicy food because of heart burns and Pad Thai. Gibbs on the other hand ordered his green chicken curry. Anyone watching them could see the love and happiness in their eyes. They would often touch each other every now and then. Or how Kate would wipe the corner of Gibbs mouth with her thumb
After lunch, Kate and Gibbs headed over to go see Dr. Johnson.
"Hello, Mr & Mrs Gibbs."
"Hello, Dr. Johnson. Please call us Kate and Jethro."
"So, are you ready to find out what you are having?"
"Yes, we are."
"Are you sure you want to know."
"Yeah, we are very sure."
"Okay, Kate I want you to lay down just like before."
"Your baby has a really strong heartbeat. Look at the monitor. You are having a girl."
"I told you Katie."
"We're having a girl Gibbs. Oh my God."
"And she will be beautiful like you, Katie."
"I love you."
"And I love you and this little one."
"Kate and Jethro, I will see you both again in a couple of months. Take care."
"Thank you Dr. Johnson."
Gibbs could not contain his joy. He lifted her up and swung her around in the parking lot.
"Gibbs, there are people watching us."
"So, what Katie? I want the whole world to know how happy I am. We are having a little girl. A little Katie.
"I am so happy too, Gibbs. Gibbs, I think it's time."
"Time?"
"It's time for us to tell our friends. I want to share our happiness with them, Gibbs. How about you invite Ducky over tonight? I will prepare dinner."
"Are you sure Kate? I can just order some take out at our favorite Italian place. I don't want you to push yourself preparing dinner."
"I'll be fine Gibbs. Just ask Ducky."
"Okay. So do you have everything you need? Or shall we stop by the grocery store first?"
"I went shopping the other day, so I think I have everything."
"Okay. I'll see you later. I love you, Kate."
"I love you, too."
The rest of the day went by fast. Gibbs spent it catching up on paperwork which he hates but thoughts of Kate and the ultrasound he kept in his pocket and he would glance every so often, helped him cope with the boring stuff.
He then went downstairs with hop in his steps which Ziva, McGee and Dinozzo noticed.
"Hey, boss, where are you going?"
"None of your business Dinozzo. Finish your paperwork or else, I will also have you do McGee's and Ziva's."
"On it boss."
Gibbs walked slowly towards the old man.
"Hey Ducky. Are you busy tonight?"
"Oh, Jethro. I didn't notice you were there. Tonight? No I don't think I have anything planned."
"How would you like to come over to my place? I want you to meet someone. Actually, you already know her."
"jethro, you are confusing me. Do you mind telling me who this lovely woman is? I am assuming that it is a woman, right?"
"It is. You would believe me even if I told you. Just be at my house around 7:30, alright? I have to go. We will see you tonight."
When Gibbs got home, he found Kate in the kitchen.
He walked over to her and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Hey, Katie. You need help?"
"Hey, babe. How was work?"
"Work was boring. So what can I do?"
"I need you to set the table. Also, get a glass of wine for you and Ducky."
"Okay. Why don't you go upstairs and get ready, babe. I will take care of everything here."
"Are you sure, Gibbs?"
"Of course, I'm sure. The food smells good."
"I prepared both your favorite and Ducky's."
"Have I told you how much I love you?"
"Yes, you have but I don't mind hearing it again."
"I love you very much Caitlin Todd Gibbs."
"I love you too Leroy Jethro Gibbs."
Kate was busy getting the steak out of the grill when they both heard the door bell.
"I'll get it, honey."
"Hey Ducky. Come in. She's in the dining room."
Ducky's heart stopped as soon as he walked into the dining room. Her back was to him but he knew who she was. It's unmistakable that it's her.
"Ducky, it's…"
"Caitlin. Oh my, dear. How?"
