A/N: This is one of the last additions to this fic before I post up the delivery. I have one more fic after this then the baby will be here, so Sammy's a little sore. She's rather small so pregnancy is more stressful than usual. Anyway I think that's it... Enjoy and make sure you review!

oOoOoOo

Bathtime

oOoOoOo

It had been a long but uneventful day. Sammy had a list of things she had wanted to get done but she was so tired and so sore that she ended up spending the day on the bed, propped up on pillows and folding baby clothes. When she started to get tired she tried to get comfortable but as soon as she'd get into a semi-comfortable position her some part of her body would protest so she would sit back up and continue the folding. A couple of times she fell asleep sitting up, but after a little while she was woken up by the baby moving or her back protesting.

By the time Gibbs came home Sammy was tired, sore and at her wits end. Gibbs crawled up onto the bed beside her and pulled her close before starting up soft lazy circles on her back. Sammy leaned into him and broke down.

"Oh, honey," Gibbs said as he pulled her closer, "Hey, hey it's ok."

Sammy tried to explain to him but gave up after a few attempts and just shook her head into his chest and cried harder. Gibbs gently pulled her into his lap and started softly rocking.

Gibbs murmured soothingly and slowly Sammy calmed down, finally getting comfortable being in Gibbs' embrace.

"Are you alright now?" Gibbs asked softly, once Sammy had stopped crying.

"Better," Sammy said around a sniffle, "Now that you're here."

"What's wrong?" Gibbs asked just a softly as before, not wanting to upset her.

"I'm so sore," Sammy whined into Gibbs chest, "and I'm tired but I can't sleep because I can't get comfortable."

"Oh, Honey," Gibbs said, placing a soft kiss on her forehead, "I'm sorry I wasn't home to help."

"It's alright," Sammy mumbled, "You're helping now."

"I know something that will help even more," Gibbs suggested, "Wanna take a bath?"

"With you?" Sammy asked hopefully.

"If you want me too," Gibbs said with a smile.

Sammy just smiled up at him.

"Do you wanna wait here while I run our bath?" Gibbs asked as he brushed Sammy's bangs out of her face.

"I might as well come," Sammy said, leaning into Gibbs hand as it lingered on her cheek, "By the time the bath is full I'll probably finally be ready."

"Alright," Gibbs said as he gently lifted Sammy up enough to swing his legs over the edge of the bed then gently set Sammy beside him on the bed.

He got up then held his hands out to Sammy, who took them and let him pull her to her feet. They headed to the washroom and Sammy closed the toilet seat before sitting on top of it while Gibbs started to fill the tub.

oOoOoOo

15 minutes later Gibbs was helping Sammy step into the now full tub. Once she was safely sitting in the warm bath he settled himself behind her and pulled her close. Sammy settled back against Gibbs and sighed as the warm water started to work its magic on her aches and pains. Before long Sammy had dozed off. Gibbs sat gently drawing on Sammy's belly with a finger glad that she was finally sleeping.

He sat contently with Sammy in his arms, drawing circles on her belly, until the water started to get cold.

"Honey," Gibbs said softly into Sammy ear, kissing her cheek, "Wake up."

Sammy shifted a bit but didn't wake up.

"Honey, come one," Gibbs said, kissing her cheek again, "The water's getting cold and once that happens it's not gonna help anymore."

"But I'm comfy," Sammy mumbled, coming out of her little doze but trying to stay in it.

"Come on, we'll get into our pyjamas and get comfortable, just somewhere where you're not going to catch your death of cold."

"Fine," Sammy whined with a yawn as she sat up.

Gibbs pulled himself to his feet and stepped out of the tub then supported Sammy and she stood and stepped out as well. Gibbs grabbed one of the towels he had set on the counter and gently wrapped it around Sammy before placing a sweet kiss on her lips and wrapping a towel around himself. He took Sammy's hand and they headed for their bedroom.

Once they were both dried and clothed in their pj's Sammy crawled into bed and Gibbs crawled up beside her. He encircled her in his arms then started gently rubbing her lower back with one hand while he ran the other up and down her thigh in a soothing manner.

Sure enough just as he had thought not more than 2 minutes after they had settled into bed Sammy was out like a light again. He kept up his ministrations and thought about what life would be like after the baby was born while Sammy slept. He was getting anxious not only because he was excited to get a second chance at raising a baby but also because he knew how much of a toll the pregnancy was starting to take on Sammy and he wanted her to be comfortable again.

Gibbs drank in the moment while he could; knowing that once the baby was born this wouldn't get to happen much.

oOoOoOo

The End.
