A/N: I was thinking about writing it for awhile, so in my sick haze, I am finally doing it.

"K-Kate?" Abby stuttered. The woman at the door had longer hair and had gained some weight, but it was indeed the same Kate that died four years previous. Kate gave Abby a half smile.
"Yeah, Abby. It's me." Abby launched her-self at her dead best friend. Kate laughed and hugged Abby back.
"We thought you were dead. I saw your body, and McGee too, and Gibbs and Tony. Oh, my god! Did you know Tony has a son! And a wife! With the partner that replaced you, Ziva David. I didn't like her at first, but she's like a sister, just like you were! And why are you not dead?" Abby asked all in one breath. Kate's smile just got wider and she moved aside to let the two in.
"I fell in love, Abby." Kate told her friend once the three were situated. Abby just looked at her.
"So you…had to die?"
"It was complicated."
"Did he have to die too?" Kate nodded.
"Why did you have to die?" Kate gave her a small, sad smile.
"My work. His work. My life. His. It would have been to dangerous for us to be together." Abby opened her mouth to ask another question; Caleb came running into the room, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Auntie Kate! Auntie Kate, I dwawed you a pictuwe!"
"Thank you, Caleb." She looked at the paper. On the paper were Ari, Kate and Little Abby. All smiling. Kate hugged Caleb with one arm, while holding the drawing out for both of them to look at.
"It is very beautiful. Did you do it on your own?" Caleb nodded his head, a smile stretched across his face. He finally noticed the two people who had knocked on the door. His smile got bigger, if that was ever possible.
"Auntie Jenny! When did you get hewe?" He went over to her and hugged her, than turned to Abby and timidly hugged her too. When he pulled away he looked at Kate.
"Wan' me to get Mommie?"
"Please." Caleb nodded and ran out of the room.
"Why does he call you 'Auntie Kate'?" Kate looked away from them.
"Kate, do you know that Caleb is Tony's son?" Kate turned her gaze sharply back to Abby.
"From what I hear, from both Caleb and Ziva, he's not much of a father." Abby blinked in surprise.
"You know Ziva?" Kate took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Yes. She's my sister-in-law." Abby's jaw just dropped.
"I married her older brother." At that moment Ziva walked in. Kate stood when she did and Ziva knew it was time to face the music.
"Ziva, you knew Kate was alive? And you didn't tell me!"
"She was in hiding, Abby. As was her husband."
"Married! Good lord, what are you going to tell me next? Ari's alive and that's who you fell in love with." Abby said with a laugh, but than she noticed the uncomfortable looks on everybody's faces.
"No!"
