Mostly un-beta'd, but I'm my own editor, so. Maybe it'll work out. Hope you enjoy.

Lexi's lullaby
"Starlight, shining, so… bright…" Abby finished softly, creeping out of her child's room with her husband in tow. "You sing beautifully, Abs," he whispered with a grin. She kissed him softly. "I'm just glad Gracie's asleep," she said.
NCIS
Who says?
She sat in front of the computer in her office, brooding. "What did he mean, not worth it?" she thought angrily, "Not beautiful?" She hadn't shown it at the time, but it had hurt her deeply. She absently stared at the computer screen and sipped her Caf-POW! "Something bothering you, Abs?" Gibbs questioned, leaning against the doorway to her lab office. "No," she said, plastering a fake smile on her face, "why?" He lifted his eyebrow a bit. "Well, normally when someone lurks in your space for longer than twenty seconds, they're directed to me to get a lurking permit," he quipped. Her face fell a bit, how long had he been standing there? but regained its former composure in a second. "Ah, but you have a permit, Jethro." Her use of his first name let him know they were alone and she needed him as her friend, not as her boss. In a second he was across the room, leaning on the edge of her desk with his arms folded and an eyebrow raised. "Well…" she hesitated, but his presence made her want to tell him. "I was at a party for one of my friends, the one I told you about?"-he nodded once-"Well, some guy was really nice to me while I was there. He seemed like a good guy…" she hesitated again, but he laid a hand on her arm and she continued. "I was nice back we flirted a little bit, but nothing serious," she added at his look, which was beginning to flare in anger, "and when he started to come on to me, I told him I was taken… and he got pissed. He called me a frigid tease," she said, starting to tear up. "Hey," he said softly, furious but concerned, "gimmie a name. I'll make his life hell," Gibbs growled, pulling Abby to stand in his arms. She giggled a bit. "Don't hurt him, Jethro. He's just stupid," she said, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I know that," he said into her hair, "but I was wondering if you did."
NCIS
Everything
She smiled a bit at the little girl's antics. "Gracie," she sing-songed, "come to mommy!" Two and a half year old Gracie looked up from her building blocks at her mommy but continued playing. Abby rolled her eyes. "She's definitely your girl," came a voice from the doorway of Gracie's room. "Oh, you're one to talk," she snorted. He grinned at the scene before him. His daughter and wife playing. It was real, and they were his everything.
NCIS
Fabulous
"Do you play an instrument?" he asked suddenly. It was unusual for him, but he'd been curious and, not one to beat around the bush, asked. She looked up from her scientific journal with a bewildered look on her face. "Huh?" "Do you play an instrument?" he asked again. "Oh," she said, her head clearer. "Yeah, I guess. I'd tried to learn to play bass in high school and college, but I was never fabulous at it. I used to play in a band, actually. Blood Feud, I think," she smiled at the memory.
NCIS
All-American Girl
Gibbs knew she wanted kids. He supposed he did too. But he wasn't sure if he could handle another girl, like Kelly. He wasn't sure how he'd treat her. So, he hoped for a boy, but when they walked in with little Grace, he was gone. He knew it would be okay. Then, sixteen years later, she was taken from him. He was sad, but his daughter was in love and the boy made her happy. But so help him God if he hurt her, he'd break his legs.
NCIS
When She Loved Me
When Gibbs had had Shannon, Gibbs was so happy. When Kelly was born, it was that much more perfect. And then they died. He was filled with so much hate and despair. He killed Pedro Hernandez. But it wasn't enough. Then he met Abby, and she loved him enough to try to fill the hole in his chest. And he loved her for it.
NCIS
My Immortal
"Ugh!" Abby was frustrated. "Damn it, Gibbs! What the hell!" She fought the tears that threatened to fall by hitting the wall. "Damn it!" He'd fought for her. He'd held her hand. Now he was gone and she was bound here, at NCIS, and she couldn't move. His presence was too strong, so addictive and painful. Now she had nothing but memories and it hurt. He was gone, but he had taken her heart with him.
NCIS
Snuck Your Way Right into my Heart
He grinned at her. "I shoulda known," he rumbled. "What?" she asked innocently, smoothing down the lapels of his coat. "You got in. I put up all those walls, and you got in anyway… like a… ninja," he said, and she laughed outright at that. "That may be the first time I've ever heard you say ninja," she pointed out. "Yeah, and don't count on it ever happening, ever, again," he returned.
NCIS
Wanted: Dead or Alive
It's all the same. Only the names, the people getting hurt, changes. The people are so cold- greed. Do it for money. Pride. Revenge. Hate. Then, her Gibbs swept in, like a hero on his charger, making the people who would kill for hate and revenge, hate him by giving them justice. He was a wanted man in the criminal community. He was like a cowboy. That was why she loved him. He was her hero, and he protected her.
NCIS
What's this?
Gibbs walked into the lab, intent on getting his lab results to convict a suspect- only to stop in his tracks. What? He nearly laughed out loud at her obscenely loud Christmas décor. Maybe he was going crazy. Then, his breath was taken away. "Hey Gibbs!" she said cheerfully. She was most definitely not wearing that earlier. It was a jolly red Santa dress, short with white fur trimmings. She smiled. "Here for results?" she queried, already turning to the view screen.
