Two chapters to get you started… don't get used to it ;) Enjoy.

"Relax McGoo, its Gibbs and Abby. It's not like we walked in on Vance and Carol from accounting."
"Exactly, Gibbs and Abby!"
"Whoa, I'm sitting right here. And yes Timmy, Gibbs was just kissing me. We're sort of, well are, in a relationship."
"I… wow, I knew you guys were close, but it's Gibbs!" McGee couldn't shake the look of shock from his face. "You mean, like a real relationship, like you guys have-"
"Timmy!" Abby cut him off. "Yes, we have sex. Sure he's a little older than me, but he sure as hell isn't dead." Abby winked.
"God that's more than I needed to know."
"Oh, come on McGeek." Tony patted his back. "It's Abby and it's Gibbs. Did you really not expect this to happen?"
"I-I-I-I…" McGee stumbled over what to say. He wasn't still in love with Abby. Sure he still cared about her, it was hard not to, but their relationship had ended quite some time ago and he had moved on. But Gibbs? "I just… how long?"
"Since just after I came back from New Orleans, so only five or six weeks."
"Come on, McProbster, you can contemplate the idea of Gibbs actually having sex while we take the elevator up to interrogation."
"Tony!" Abby moved and delivered slap to the back of his head.
"Fine, do your contemplating on your own time." Tony directed McGee out of the lab and then shot a wink over his shoulder at Abby.
Abby just rolled her eyes and returned to her computer. It hadn't been how she had meant to tell McGee about her relationship with Gibbs, but it was rather effective. She knew that she would have to have more of a conversation with him about it. She hoped he would be happy for her, for them, and she was sure he would be… once he got over the fact that Gibbs was indeed capable of a relationship – and the sex that came with it, although she was sure he didn't want to talk about the sex.
McGee was silent as he stood beside Tony as they watched Gibbs question Smith. Tony was having a hard time enjoying the way Smith practically unraveled under Gibbs' constant pressure with the way he could hear the wheels turning in McGee's mind.
It didn't take long for Gibbs to get a full confession from Smith and Tony was waiting with cuffs to lead him to a holding cell. McGee tried to slip unseen down the hall and back to the squad room before Gibbs saw him, but he felt a hand clamp down on his shoulder and he knew he had failed.
"Something you'd like to say, McGee?"
"Uh, no. Don't think, think so…"
"I'm well aware of the relationship you had with Abby, and it's understandable that you might be worried about her with what you know of my past-"
"I know you'd never do anything to hurt her. I'm not worried, boss. Just a little shocked, I guess."
"I might be older than her, but I'm not ancient."
"No… of course not." McGee fought against the image of Abby and Gibbs in bed.
"You going to be okay with everything?"
"Yes, yes of course. No problem, boss. No problem at all."
"Good." Gibbs stepped past him towards the squad room.
Gibbs. Gibbs has sex. Gibbs has sex with Abby. McGee shuddered and took a few more seconds to regain his composure and then followed Gibbs to the squad room and sat at his desk. Tony had already been down to lock-up with Smith and was already behind his desk. He could tell by the slight smirk on both Tony and Ziva's face that Tony had filled her in on the incident in the lab. I'm obviously the last to know. McGee tried to ignore the goose-bumps appearing on his skin as the image of a very naked Gibbs on top of a very naked Abby flashed in his mind.
Gibbs noticed the slight flush on McGee's face and smiled inwardly. He had to admit, it was entertaining and he could understand why both Tony and Ziva had such fun in teasing him. Turning to his computer, Gibbs opened up the chat program that Abby had taught him how to use. She had even picked a special screen name for him as Abby was the only one he communicated with via chat. Abby was logged in as always, and he typed a quick message to her and clicked send.
Slvfox: McGee took it well?
AbbysLabby: *kiss* He was… shocked.
Gibbs didn't quite understand the whole *kiss* thing, but he appreciated the thought.
Slvfox: We spoke briefly. I think DiNozzo will have fun with it for awhile.
AbbysLabby: Poor Timmy, I'll tell Tony to be nice.
Slvfox: I'll be down in an hour or so and we can go home.
AbbysLabby: I'll be waiting
Gibbs logged out again. He kept his eyes on the computer, but his ears were finely tuned to pick up on Tony's non-stop chatter. Everything he said had some sort of sexual undertone that served nothing more than to make McGee blush. Ziva and her slight smirk weren't helping.
"This isn't a frat house, DiNozzo. You've got an hour to have that paperwork on my desk."
"An hour? Not fair… but it'll get done." Tony ducked his head and returned his focus to the report in front of him.
Not surprisingly, McGee finished his work first. He timidly approached Gibbs desk and waited until Gibbs looked up to hand him the report.
Gibbs took it with a nod. "See you at 0800."
A look of relief washed over McGee and he scurried back to his desk to grab his things and then rushed to the elevator.
Ziva finished next, but rather than leave she took a few of Tony's remaining pages and returned to her desk. Gibbs watched curiously. Ever since the relationship between Ziva and Tony had been confirmed, he had noticed a few changes; Ziva taking on a few extra pages of Tony's paperwork was one of them.
At last Tony had finished and Gibbs watched as Tony and Ziva headed towards the elevator, laughing at something he hadn't heard. He decided that they were good for each other. He didn't think it was in DiNozzo to be in a relationship longer than a few weeks, especially after the Benoit fiasco, but Ziva wasn't exactly tolerant of his skirt-chasing attitude and from what he had heard from Abby, Ziva had set out the rule on day one: His flirting needed to be wheeled in. Surprisingly enough, Tony no longer leered at every woman that passed his desk. In fact the only flirting that seemed to happen, besides with Ziva, was with Abby. It had made Gibbs uncomfortable at first, but he had learned to accept it, and Tony was a good friend to Abby. When Gibbs couldn't be with her for whatever reason, he knew he could count on Tony.
The reports can wait until morning, Gibbs thought. He switched off his computer and then gathered his things to head down to the lab.
The back elevator was just about to close when a hand slid between the doors stopping it. Director Vance stepped in and stood beside Gibbs as the elevator made it's decent towards the lab. Nearly there, Vance stepped forward and stopped the elevator with a flick of the emergency switch.
Gibbs didn't speak, he just raised an eyebrow.
"I've been meaning to ask you, Agent Gibbs. Is there anything I need to know about?"
"About?"
"I noticed things have been a little different around here. You seem less… irritated, if that's possible."
Gibbs gave a signature smirk. "First I'm too much of an ass, and now I'm not irritated enough? I think that sounds more like your problem, not mine."
"Miss Sciuto still living with you?"
"Have you received another change of address form that I'm unaware of?"
"No."
"Then I guess she hasn't moved out." Gibbs flicked the emergency switch to set the elevator in motion again.
"Agent Gibbs, aren't there rules about dating co-workers?"
Gibbs stopped the elevator again and turned to face Vance. "If you've got something to say, spit it out Director."
"I want to know if you and Abby are more than friends. As Director of this agency, I have the right to know if my employees are involved in intimate relationships."
"It's none of your damn business, Vance."
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Take it how you want."
"I'm not trying to stir up trouble. She isn't on your team, I don't see it causing any problems. Even if she was on your team… you don't think I know about DiNozzo and David? I'd like to think I'm fair, as long as there are no problems, you're right, it's none of my business."
Gibbs eyed Vance curiously for a moment before starting the elevator again. "Thank you."
