I am soooo sry it's been so long. I am now in college and loving it. I have a new therapist who is amazing and helped me come out to me parents. That's right I did it :) My cutting had gotten better, worse and is currently better. I hope this chapter is ok and that you enjoy it........I will try and update sooner...I am soooo sorry.

Sam was getting better every day. Ziva and Abby took turns everyday staying home to watch the twins and Sam. The day care was almost done. They had finally found Emily's killer. It turned out to be her ex boyfriend because she told him that she was bi and he hated her for that. Everyone felt better now that he was behind bars and the moment they told Michael he broke down and sobbed. They still hadn't heard anything from Sam's mother which bothered both of them. Sam was fine with it and enjoying her time with the twins and Abby and Ziva. Her cutting was getting a lot better. She saw a therapist once a week and it seemed to be helping her. The twins were getting bigger and even stating to crawl. They were both planning getting ready for their wedding. It was 2 months away and they were starting to get panicky. Alex and Olivia had their son now and would regularly call Ziva and ask her about Israeli traditions. Ziva would often be called to talk to him in his native tongue to calm him down. Things in general seemed to be going better.

Sam was sitting on the couch in the living room watching Charmed with Abby. The twins were napping. Abby brought water to Sam and sat down.

"So kid what I'm about to tell you can't go anywhere. Ok?" Sam nodded. "I know what you're going through." Sam looked at her then her eyes went down to Abby's arms.

"How long?" Abby thought for a moment.

"About seven years."

"Did anyone ever catch you?"

"Only a few people. Gibbs knows and so does Ziva."

"What were their reactions?"

"Gibbs told me that I'd better come to him if before I do anything and when Ziva found out she kissed the scars that I still have."

"It doesn't look like you have any on your arms."

"They're on my legs and the tattoo's cover a lot of them. I know how hard it is to stop and places that are easy to hide." Sam looked down. "I'm here if you need me." They hugged then went back to watching TV. They talked about it some more and Abby ended up crying a bit. She admitted she did it because her parents were deaf and she felt ignored. She had a hard time at school and a hard time accepting her sexuality and coming out to people. She lost several of her friends because of it. Her bother still kept in contact with her and he had always been helpful to her. They remained close but he hadn't had time to visit them. Ziva came home and looked at both the women. She noticed that Abby had been crying at some time. Ziva understood and hugged both of them. She got changed and sat next Abby on the couch. They decided to order pizza and just relax. They ordered a movie and all just relaxed. The twins had been very calm which made everyone happy.

When it was time to bed Abby helped Sam get ready for bed since she still needed a little help. Abby and turned around while Sam got her PJ's on.

"Hey Abby, can I show you something?"

"Sure." Abby had a pretty good idea what she wanted to show her. She slowly turned around and was right. Sam was sitting in a t shirt and underwear. She was showing Abby her scars. Abby didn't say anything but walked over to her. She noticed that there were only one or two fresh ones on her leg. Abby looked at them then gave Sam a hug.

"Are making sure they don't get infected?"Sam nodded then slowly got dressed. Abby helped her get into bed that gave her a hug. She got ready for bed and hopped into bed with Ziva she kissed her good night which turned into making out. After a few minuets they ended up stopping a falling asleep in each others arms.

Let me know what you think....I'll try to update sooner...I promise
