5 months later

A very pregnant Abby waddled past McGee to the Mass Spectrometer.

"Uh-oh" she said suddenly, panic rising in her voice.

"What's…" McGee started to ask, as he turned to face his friend and saw the puddle underneath her. McGee jumped up and rushed towards her, leading the shocked and slightly panicked lab tech to her chair, he dialed Gibbs' number.

"Um, boss? I think you should get to the lab right away." McGee muttered into the phone before turning his attention back to Abby.

"Are you okay? Are you having contractions? Abby? BREATHE!" McGee stammered as he stared at the hyperventilating Abby.

"Gibbs! I need Gibbs." Abby said, tears strolling down her cheeks.

"He's coming, Abby. He's coming." McGee soothed as he heard the door to the lab open and saw Gibbs race into the lab.

"Abby! What? McGee, what's going on? Abby? Are you okay?" he asked, panic starting to rise in his voice at the sight of her tear stained face. She wasn't due for another 6 weeks.

"My water broke. Gibbs, it's too early! What if…Gibbs!" She cried, her face contorting in pain as she clutched her growing belly.

"It's okay Abby. Abbs, look at me. You're okay. Remember to breathe. You can do this. Sniper breathing, remember?" Gibbs said gently, squatting down so he was eye level with her. His voice once again calm and collected.

"McGee, go get the car and meet us in the garage."

"On it Boss." McGee said as he hurried away from the scene, thankful to be able to get away from the panicked in pain Abby.

"Gibbs, it's too early. Ohhhhhhhhh, it hurts." Abby whined, squeezing Gibbs' hand as another contraction raced through her body.

"Calm down, Abby. We're going to get you to the hospital. You're both going to be fine." Gibbs said gently and kissed her on the top of her head.

Her bright green eyes looked up at him and a small smile etched itself across her face as she whispered, "You're just saying that to make me feel better, aren't you?"

"Did it work?" he asked, remembering their often repeated conversation from the first time Mikel Mauher was arrested.

"Yeah, a little. Say it again." She said, the comfort of his words and his presence soothing her frantic mind.

"You're both going to be fine." Gibbs repeated, smiling at his girls.

The Next Day

Abby and Gibbs were nestled together on the hospital bed, staring into the eyes of their beautiful little girl when the team walked in. They both looked up and smiled. A chorus of "Congratulations" erupted from the team's lips as they took in the beautiful scene before them.

"What's her name?" DiNozzo asked, breaking the trance that everyone seemed to be in.

"Well, if it's okay with you," Abby started, looking at Gibbs and getting a small head nod, she continued, "we'd like to name her Kate."

DiNozzo's eyes filled with tears and his trademark smile flashed across his face. Regaining his composure, he took a couple small steps forward to get a better look at the sleeping angel in Gibbs' arms.
"I think that'd be great," he said with a slight clearing of his throat as he once again bit back the emotions that were threatening to overtake him. He had never seen either of them so happy and he was happy for them. Thankful that his boss and best friend had finally found love and a family in the most unexpected way, but then it was Abby and Gibbs…they had to do things in an unexpected way.
