*Friday*
Kate wakes early as Gibbs is tossing and turning. She sits up and looks at him. He is all sweaty and looks to be in discomfort. She doesn't know what to do, whether to leave him be or wake him up.
" No please god NO" he mumbled.
' Wake him' she thought to herself.
" Gibbs wake up. Gibbs" she said gently shaking him. He sat up straight away breathing heavily. He turned to look at her. He hugged her straight away.
" Oh thank god" he said.
" Hey what ever happened it was just a bad dream" she said calmly. She pulled him off her and looked at him. He was almost crying.
" Hey its ok" she said kissing him. She put her arm around him and she laid back down pulling him down to her chest. His arms wrapped around her.
" Do you want to talk about it?" she asked playing with his hair.
" You were gone. No one would tell me where you went. I found out that you had been kidnapped and when I found you the building was going to blow up and you ran out and it did. When I picked you up you had that gorgeous smile on your face which was quickly taken away by pain" he stops.
" Gibbs" she said softly.
" You had been shot. Your lifeless body in my arms" he said. She could feel his tears on her skin.
" Hey, I'm here and not going anywhere" she said as she leant down and kissed him. They both went back to sleep in each others arms.
Kate wakes up to an empty bed but the beautiful smell of blueberry pancakes. She stumbles out of the bedroom to see Gibbs in the kitchen serving up two pancakes.
" Morning" she says walking up to him.
" Morning" he reply's with a kiss.
" So what's all this"
" Breakfast"
" I see"
" Its to say sorry for last night"
" Oh come here. You don't have to say sorry for anything" she said hugging him. So they each took their plates of pancakes and sat down at the table and ate. Once they were finished Kate went to have a shower and Gibbs back to tending his vege garden. Kate washed the couple of dishes that were on the sink. She then went out and sat on the bench under their big tree. She sat there watching Gibbs attach old cd's to string to help keep away the birds. He notices her and stops and goes to join her.
" So what do you think?" he asks.
" Looks good. So when will they be ready?" she asks with a smile.
" Oh give it a couple of months"
" Your still having them aren't you?" she asks bluntly.
" What?"
" You know what. How long?"
" The last month" he says bending forward, resting his arms on his legs and looking at the ground.
" why didn't you tell me?" she asks hurt.
" I didn't want to worry you"
" You worry me more when you don't tell me these things and I find out the hard way"
" Does it really matter what I dream about anyway?"
" Yes, because it affects your mood during the day"
" And what mood am I in today?" he asks looking at her.
" Gibbs I didn't mean" she said putting her arm around him.
" No Kate, you never mean anything you say but you still say it" he says getting up and going inside. Kate sits there still stunned at his sudden out burst. She hears his car start up and leave. She feels terrible. Can they go a week without one fight. Obviously not. She decides to call Abby..
" Hello Abby here" a happy voice answers.
" Abby it's Kate. Are you bust?" she asks trying to sound as happy as she was.
" No not at all. What's wrong?"
" What? Nothings wrong I just need someone to talk to" she said.
" Where's Gibbs" she asks. Kate doesn't answer.
" Kate?"
" I don't know"
" What do you mean you don't know?"
" We had a fight and he left" she said trying hard not to cry.
" What was it about?" Abby asked concerned.
" Last night he had another dream. It was so bad that I had to wake him up. He said that they have been back for at least a month"
" Oh Kate I'm sure he hasn't gone far. Probably just to clear his head. And like always he doesn't tell you these things because you worry to much"
" I don't worry to"
" Kate"
" Ok I worry but only because I love him"
" I know that and so does Gibbs. Ah Kate I'm gunna have to go Tony wants me….I think"
" Ok. Bye. Oh and thanks Abs"
" Anytime. See ya" and she hung up. Kate sat at the table looking at the front door hoping he will come through it at minuet. She decides to call his mobile. No answer. She calls again. No answer. She cant take it. She cries. She puts her head on the table and eventually cries herself to sleep.
A few hours later Gibbs arrives home. He see's Kate asleep on the table. He walks over to her. Grabs her phone from her and looks at the screen. His number comes up ready to call. He looks at her face and can see dry tear marks on her cheeks. He gently kisses her cheek and she wakes up.
" Oh my god your home" she says sitting up.
" Look I'm sorry for going off before" he started. She got up and hugged him tight.
" Don't be. You don't have to tell me everything its just that it worries me when you don't, when its something like this"
" I know and that's why I don't tell you because you worry to much"
" I know. I'm sorry"
" Don't be. That's what I love about you". She smiles. She pulls back and looks at him.
" Promise me something"
" What?"
" Do not run away when we have a fight because I had no idea where you went, what had happened to you" she says starting to cry again.
" Hey, hey I'm sorry. I promise ok" he said kissing her. She hugged him and didn't let go.
