"Jethro! Duke needs a new bed… he outgrew his old one." Abby said while throwing the soft foam Frisbee for Duke to catch.

"Why does he keep growing Abbs?" He groaned. It had been only 3 months and 5 beds later Gibbs was going to be broke by the end of that dogs growth spurt.

Duke got excited knowing Gibbs had acknowledged him, so he ran over and sat directly next to Jethro on the front porch, patiently waiting to get pet. As hard as he tried, Gibbs wasn't able to resist long, and lifted his hand to Dukes head.

"See Duke! I told you Daddy loves you." Abby said happily as she sat down next to her boyfriend.

"No Abby, I love YOU. Duke is just a rapidly growing piece of baggage that comes with you." He said smirking.

"I love you too… but you love Duke also. He's family Gibbs! You have to raise him right, play catch with him or something."

"Abbs, he is not a kid, he is a dog."

"That you love?" She was persistent.

"Yes that I love very much, but not nearly as much as I love my gorgeous girlfriend. Better?" He asked exasperated. Abby laughed and went inside to put on her pajamas.

"I have a dare Abby…" Gibbs said coming into the bedroom while she pulled her shirt on.

"Gibbs, we already ended the game, but go ahead, shoot." Abby slid on her fuzzy black socks that had no purpose but to make her slide on the hardwood.

"Move in with me? Half of your stuff is already lying around the house, and your lease ends in a little less than a month. I want to wake up to you with your sleepy smile on your face every morning." He said sincerely.

"I would love to." She said simply. "Now, I'd like to dance." Abby got up and went down the stairs to turn the stereo she brought into Gibbs' house up loud.

"What do you want for dinner Abbs?" Gibbs asked while trying to avoid a sliding, dancing Abby. "You look ridiculous." He said eyeing the way she played the air guitar and slid across the hallway as though she were skateboarding.

"Umm… I think I would like you to make me some pasta." She giggled and she slid up to him and innocently pressed her lips to his.

Gibbs and Abby lay in bed after an eventful night, talking about everything and nothing. There were no boundaries or secrets between these two lovers.

"Tony wants to come over tomorrow." Abby mumbled against Gibbs' chest.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, why?"

"To visit his favourite god-dog and to tell us something he claims to be important." Duke looked up from the foot of the bed, but quickly laid his head back down and resumed sleeping.

"So we are going to spend three hours talking about his revelation of Ziva cheating at Scrabble on the iPhone? And why the hell do we need a new bed for Duke if he sleeps in our bed?"

"Will you stop acting so stubborn? You never know Tony may actually say something good. Duke just wants a bed that fits him."

"Duke can have the guest room." He grumbled.

"He gets lonely." She pouted. Jethro couldn't help but kiss the frown off her face.

"Good night sweetheart." He said as she tucked her head into the crook of his shoulder.

Abby woke Gibbs up later than normal, and dragged him downstairs to help her make blueberry pancakes. Before Abby was able to get the first pancake out of the pan, Tony and Ziva walked in.

"Hey guys! Want some pancakes?" Abby asked without turning around. "Gibbs is in the bathroom, take a seat."

"Umm, hi Abby, no thank you, we ate before we got here." Ziva said casually.

"Abby! You didn't hug me good morning." Tony whined. Gibbs walked in and before saying anything, took the offered spatula from Abby, who was already squeezing the life out of Tony and Ziva.

"Morning Boss." Tony said. "Sooo I'm just going to go ahead and get what I wanted to say out of the way before I die of nervousness. ZivaandIaredating. I know that it's breaking rule 12, but we figured since you and Abby were together that the rules were bendable, and we could maybe tell you." Abby immediately squealed and jumped up and down with Tony and Ziva.

"Dinozzo!" Gibbs barked gesturing toward the living room so they could talk temporarily in private. "How long?"

"7 months…" That got him a head smack that was sure to leave his ears ringing for the rest of the day.

"Do you love her?" Gibbs asked softer, well as soft as Gibbs can be.

"Yes very much so, more than anything."

"Good, then you won't screw her over in the field when you decide to get noble and try to protect her ass." Gibbs patted Tony on the back, leaving him stunned in the living room.
