The case was nowhere near done, when they drove home around 21:00 that evening.
They had two interrogation sessions, but both were not really successful and after they had found out that both suspects had an air-tight-alibi they had to let them go.
-
Gibbs came down to pick her up, right at the moment she turned the key of the lockable drawer in her office.
Abby hadn't been able to take the test and since there wasn't a chance in hell she would take that stick home with her, she thought that this was the only safe place to keep it.
-
"Ready?"
Abby looked up from her purse and smiled.
"Yeah." She got to her feet grabbed her coat and her purse and crossed the few steps to Gibbs.
With a smile he helped her into her coat after softly kissing her cheek.
"That's all I get?" A mischief glint was evident in her eyes.
His trade-mark lopsided grin appeared. "What did we say about showing affection on the navy-yard?"
"Sue me for trying." She said laughing, following him to the elevator.
-
The ride home was quiet both equally lost in thoughts.
Not before Gibbs opened the front door a word was spoken.
"Are you ok, Abs?"
She smiled softly. "Sure I'm just tired."
-
He turned around and locked the door while Abby got rid of her coat.
When he turned around again she had her purse in her hand again and was about to move towards the kitchen.
Jethro stopped her with his fingers on her shoulder and turned her around to pull her into a loving embrace.
He bent down and kissed her neck before his lips moved toward her ear.
"Go upstairs and shower while I fix some sandwiches."
While he kissed again the soft skin of her neck her voice became audible.
"Could you fix me a hot chocolate as well?" He kissed the tip of her nose. "Of course, now shower, I'll bring the food up with me."
With a smile she pecked his lips and went upstairs; her mind back on the possible pregnancy.
-
Abby quickly showered while her mind tried to find a way to talk to Jethro.
Even if the test would be negative she knew now she wanted kids with Gibbs.
They needed to talk.
-
She dried herself and put on her black panties with the little white skulls. They were a present from Gibbs for their first anniversary last year, along with the delicate necklace she was always wearing. The piece of jewelry around her neck had three pendants. All small not bigger than one square cm, a little skull, a little gun and the writing 'semper fi'.
He had made a good choice. She could still wear her collar without problems.
She freed her damp hair from the towel and pulled it in a messy ponytail before she covered her torso with an old worn out NIS shirt she had requisitioned from the man she shared her life with.
Before she opened the door she let her eyes travel to the mirror.
-
When she left the bathroom she couldn't help but smile by the sight in front of her.
Jethro was sitting against the headboard in boxers and an equally worn out shirt, his ankles were crossed and he was smiling lost in thoughts.
His hair stood up in different directions like it would when someone went through it with their fingers, which was probably exactly what he had done.
Abby loved that sight, he looked to cute with his messy hair.
-
At the end of the bed was a tray with two plates. On each plate were two sandwiches waiting to be eaten; on each nightstand stood a cup of hot liquid, still steaming slightly.
"Hey you" Abby said softly while coming to a halt in front of his side of the bed.
He looked up and smiled while he outstretched one hand.
-
"Do you want to shower first before we eat?" Abs asked quietly while taking the offered hand.
She straddled his thighs and rested her forearms on his shoulders while his hands found their way under the shirt to rest at her waist, caressing the skin beneath his fingers.
"Shower sounds good to me, but you can start to eat."
Abby shook softly her head.
"I'll wait, I'm going to re-read an article I wrote while you are cleaning your extremely sexy body." A mischief glint appeared in her eyes, before her face showed a pensive expression.
"Or I'll just come with you into the bathroom, to rather watch your body than to imagining it in my mind and getting all hot and bothered till you finally come back to bed again."
He smiled softly and let his hands wander towards her back. Both were smiling when they let their heads move closer for a kiss.
This kiss turned out to be a very passionate-longing-for-more kiss.
So, not long after the kiss had started, the tray and their clothes found their way to the ground next to the bed.
The first being put and the last were partly thrown and partly fell to the hard surface.
--
It was almost midnight when Gibbs finally showered.
Abby joined him shortly before they got back to bed to finally eat their sandwiches lost in thoughts.
-
Abby was certain that his mind was on the case while her mind was still busy with the possible change in their.
Little did Abby know, it wasn't the case which kept Gibbs mind busy, at least not completely.
From time to time he glanced to his love, who had her claves resting over his thighs.
His hands were resting on top of the soft skin of her shin, caressing it tenderly.
While she took bite after bite from the last sandwich, she stared onto the piece of paper which was resting on her thighs. Even though her eyes were fixed on the print out on her lab, it was obvious that she didn't actually read.
-
Abs took the last piece of her midnight snack into her mouth and placed the article back on the nightstand before she snuggled up against Gibbs.
He willingly opened his arms and lowered himself into a laying position as well.
Seconds later one of her legs moved over his, her arm moved over his belly and her head found its rest on his chest, at the level of his heart.
The constant, steady heartbeat let her mind wander back to the baby she might did carry under her heart.
His strokes on her back and the steady tune of his heart were soothing her and she finally came to a decision after the long internal debate.
Whatever he won't bite your head off girl -hopefully.
-
"Jethro"
"Yeah"
"Um, would you…?"
Abby got interrupted by two ringing cells.
…consider children with me, she added in her thoughts.
-
Two ringing cells at two o'clock in the morning could only me something case related happened.
Another body had been found with the same MO that meant back to the navy yard.
They hadn't slept and coffee was off limits, at least for her. This was going to be a very hard day.
--
It didn't take long for them to get their clothes back on and soon they were on their way to the car.
--
Gibbs finally got back to the question Abby had been about to ask after he had started the engine.
-
Abs, Abs, Abs…She was his life essence, didn't she know that she could tell him everything.
On the other hand he knew Abby well enough to know that she was more afraid of hurting his feelings than anything else.
He glanced over to the passenger seat where Abby was staring out into the night.
"What did you want to ask?"
She smiled softly. Of course you wouldn't forget…
"I forgot must have been unimportant" she lied "let's just crack this case." Maybe then I have the guts.
Though not really satisfied with the answer he dropped the topic.
"Take a nap till we're back with the new evidence from the crime scene."
She smiled slightly and nodded. "After I have checked the PC which was still running when we went home, maybe the device found something."
And then I'll make the test.
She needed to be clear in her head to concentrate on the case and she needed to know if their lives would change or not.
