A/N: Thanks, to reviewers, thanks so much for the two who took the time to do so, they made me happy, but I have to say that I'm bit disappointed, I had expected a little more. Me working several days until past midnight wasn't enough apparently. Here the last chapter I hope you'll enjoy it.

Five

Abby opened her eyes to the smell of coffee. Her body felt deliciously store, and Gibbs definitely knew how to please a woman and he had sure made up for things with the time he had left...

Damn you Hollis Mann, you almost managed to destroy us all. But thank God you didn't because we are stronger than you will ever been. You thought you were a big girl, though, well see where it brought you today? Nowhere and definitely not in between the sheets with My Gibbs!

Abby pushed herself up on one elbow and held the sheets up against her breasts when she heard him enter.

"Hey, sleepy head," Gibbs greeted her smiling.

"Hey, mister." She smirked, as she watched him admiringly. He was only wearing his boxer shorts and was holding two glasses of orange juice in his hands. He handed her one as she pushed herself into a sitting position.

"Have you been sleeping okay?"

"Oh, so you call what we did last night, sleeping?" She asked him eying him mischievously.

"Well l'd say it's a new improved version of sleeping." He told her, looking at her intensely right before taking a sip of Orange juice.

"Don't I smell coffee?"

"Huh, huh, but for that, you will have to go in the kitchen."

"And why's that?"

"Oh, nothing, but when you come down, you'll find it it'll be just on the right temperature for you." Gibbs said as he put his glass of juice on the nightstand.

"Oh you're so sweet with me." She said joyfully.

But Leroy Jethro Gibbs didn't joke back, and when he looked up, the happiness in his eyes had disappeared.

"You shouldn't have taken me back so easily, Abbs."

Abby took a sip of her juice before she answered, then put it away next to his on the nightstand. "I know, I shouldn't have, I should have made you suffer and at least slap you once behind the head, but what would it have given us? More tears and hurt? What good is that for? Nothing. My head would love to do those to you, but not my heart Gibbs. I love you, I loved you then, I love you now, and I will in the future. I love you."

Abby snaked her arms behind his neck and pulled him to her for a passionate kiss. As they needed to come up for air, Gibbs pulled back a little to look in her eyes, and said "I love you."

Tears rolled down Abby's cheek when she heard his words, and she knew right then and there that whatever her future was in store for her, he would be with her because he had never told her those words before - not even before the all Hollis issues.

She kissed him again and pulled him with her as she lay down on the bed again. The coffee and all the rest would be for later, right now, she wanted to have some fun with her man.

New Year.

New hopes
