WARNING: WILL MENTION SELF-HARM, BULLYING AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS. DON'T LIKE, PLEASE DO NOT READ!
Ziva was in big trouble.
Understatement of the century! Ziva thought bitterly.
Oh no! What would she tell her mum and her dad.
She was SO dead.
She didn't mean for it to happen. They'd been drunk. She could barely remember her own name when they did it.
She had told Ray first and he seemed surprisingly calm with it.
What the hell was she going to do now?
Abby. She'd talk to her little sister well at least about the subject she was going to come straight out and say it. Abby couldn't tell lies, she especially could NOT lie to their parents or least that's what Ziva thought.
Abby paced her bedroom.
Tears blurred her vision as she slammed her laptop shut and through herself down on the bed, her German Shepard Jethro (Named after her father) licked her the tears from her pale cheek. She'd tell her daddy; after this weekend; after Tony's wedding.
Timmy didn't even know! Her boyfriend! Who'd she'd known since she'd been born!
She didn't know what else to do. So she headed for the bathroom; to her sanctuary, she needed to make the bad thoughts go away and she knew exactly how to do that.
Tony stood in the mirror fixing his tie and pinning the lilac flower to the blazer because in a few short hours he'd be married; married to the girl he loved. Caitlyn Mallard.
He couldn't believe his luck. He had a great soon-to-be wife, great parents, absolutely adorable sisters and perfect soon-to-be in laws. He sighed in content unaware of how the next few days would impact everyone's lives. And not in a good way.
Jenny finished tying Kate's dress. It was white and beautiful, like a princess' in a fairy tale.
Ziva was dressed in the full length glittery lilac bride's maid dress that was the same as her mother's .
It was held up by two spaghetti straps on each shoulder.
"Zee! You're not supposed to out shine the bride!" Kate grinned hugging her almost sister.
"Well I do try" Ziva joked the news from yesterday at the back of her head.
Abby was meant to be one as well but had asked Kate if it was ok if she just sat with Gibbs in the church instead.
This baffled everyone, as when Kate and Tony first got engaged, Abby was over the top happy to be the one of the three bride's maids.
The wedding went without any drama. Kate and Tony were loved up. Gibbs grinned the whole day and night. Jenny cried at the thought of her little baby boy all grown up. Ziva had fun even if she did have to excuse herself twice. Abby well Abby just sat at a table, watching.
Watching as Tony and Kate had their first dance.
Watching as Tony danced with Jenny and Kate danced with Ducky and then Gibbs.
Watching as Ziva danced with Tony.
Watching as Ziva danced with her boyfriend.
Watching as Kate danced with Jimmy.
Watching from the outside.
"Would the lady like a dance?" Gibbs bowed down to Abby tearing her gaze away from Jimmy, Tim and Jimmy's girlfriend Michelle Lee talking next to the bar.
Abby smiled at Gibbs, a proper smile that had been hidden most of the last few weeks.
Abby accepted Gibbs' hand and Gibbs noted how stunning his baby daughter looked in her black knee length, long sleeved lacy dress.
Abby had her arms wrapped around Gibbs' middled and his arms wrapped securely around her shoulders and back as he swayed her in rhythm with the slow music.
"You ok, baby?" Gibbs whispered to her and she nodded in to his chest.
Jenny smiled at her husband and daughter and continued her dance with Ducky.
The family waved at the newly weds as they drove away from the reception and towards the airport.
"I give it a month," Gibbs muttered lightly elbowing Jen.
"Jethro!" Jenny snapped.
"Kidding," Gibbs laughed.
"I'll see ya, Duck," Gibbs patted Ducky shoulder.
"Goodnight, Jethro," Ducky smiled before receiving a hug from Jenny, Ziva and an extra long one from Abby.
"Goodnight, my dears," Ducky called the boys over to say goodbye
"Timmy," Abby said in an apologetic tone
"Don't start, Abby."
"But Timmy!" Abby said in a half whining, half desperate voice
"Don't wanna hear it!" Tim said goodnight to everyone then climbed into the front of Ducky's car and Ducky and Jimmy followed shortly after.
Gibbs and Jenny got their girls home and up to bed in 20 minutes.
"I'll check on Zee," Jenny smiled.
"And I'll check on Abbs," Gibbs agreed.
"Can I come in?" Jenny called in to Ziva's room.
"Course, mum," Ziva smiled from her perch on her bed, her pyjama shorts and tank barely covering what it should, her laptop was in front of her as she clicked away.
"You ok, honey?" Jenny asked patting the girls knee.
"Yeah, I'm good," Ziva grinned widely at her mother as if to prove a point.
"Ok then. Goodnight, sweetheart, don't stay on that all night," Jenny kissed her daughter's cheek and stood holding her dress up a bit so she didn't trip.
"Love you," Ziva called as Jenny began to leave.
"Love you too," Jenny smiled and began her walk to her other daughter's room.
"Abbs! You decent!" Gibbs yelled but walked in any ways. His daughter lay on her bed on top of the covers, watching TV in black pyjamas with little pink and white skulls all over them.
"What you watching?" Gibbs asked lying down next to her, crossing his arms behind his head.
"Chat show thingy," Abby stated sounding bored.
"Abby, are you and...um Tim alright?" Gibbs spoke in an awkward tone.
"Do we really have to talk boys, daddy?" Abby giggled.
"No, not if you don't want to," Gibbs sounded relieved "But really, Angel, are you doing ok, you know at school and that?" This way so much easier when Abby was four Gibbs thought to himself.
"Yeah, it's great." Abby forced the words out and hoped they sounded truthful "So you catch any bad guys this week?"
"Oh yeah, you should have seen us!" Gibbs chuckled, conversations like this were so much better and Abby was always eager to hear stories about the cases Gibbs had helped solve at NCIS.
"Can't believe I missed it!" Abby laughed and Gibbs had to laugh along "Even if you did take your time about it!"
"Oh my, young lady!" Gibbs said in mock anger but rolling over and tickling her all over
"You can't bring out the tickle torture without warning! It's not fair!" Abby squeaked in a fit of giggles.
"I surrender!" Abby yelled as they both fell off the bed and onto the floor, laughing.
"C'mon, bed before mum finds out."
"She already has" Jenny smiled from the doorway.
Abby curled up in bed and turned her attention back to her show
"Night, baby," Jenny blew Abby a kiss before going to her own room.
"Night, princess" Gibbs kissed Abby's forehead and made sure he picked Bert off the floor and put it on the bed next to her.
"Night daddy."
"Love ya, Abbs."
"Love ya too!"
It had been a week! A whole damn week! Tony and Kate were back and everything. Don't be so weak! Ziva thought as she paced the hall outside her mum and dad room. Her dad was in there; reading through a case report on the computer they had in the room. Her mum had just left for New York for a meeting with the directors of other agencies or something like that.
She raised her fist to knock but then let it drop down by her side and leant against the door instead. Gibbs was taking the girls to school in exactly 7 minutes and that's all the time Ziva needed to get it out in the open.
"Daddy, can I talk to you?" Ziva asked after he'd opened the door.
"Yeah, what's up, Ladybug?"
"Promise not to get mad?"
"Did you bleach your sister's hair again?" Gibbs joked.
"No! Dad just listen ok!"
"Ok" Gibbs said annoyed at the way she'd spoken to him.
"I..um...Ray and I...umm"
"Spit it out, Zee" Gibbs said grabbing her shoulders to stop her pacing.
"I'm pregnant...with Ray's baby"
Abby pulled her t-shirt on, gasping in pain as it made contact with her raw wrist.
"Abby! Get Tim to give you a lift to school! I can't take you!" Abby heard how angry her dad sounded and didn't argue, there was enough of that already in the house at the minute.
Her phone bleeped telling her she had a text, she read it over twice before the tears started to pour down her face and that was it she was done, she was done with the messages on chat rooms, she was done with the harassment at school, done with the names and the rumours, done with being called worthless and a whore and being told that Tim didn't really love her, he just wanted in her pants, being told that her family didn't care because she was damaged because of the accident with Ari four years ago had fucked with her head (how they knew about that, she didn't know). She ran into the bathroom, slamming the door and turning the lock. She grabbed the small but sharp blade from under the bath mat. This ends today she thought. Sending love to her family through her thought. She slid to the floor.
