Jenny and Gibbs sat at one side of Ziva while Kate and Tony sat at the other. Gibbs had called Ducky who promised that he, Tim and Jimmy would be there as soon as they could.
Ziva was holding her tiny baby for the first time surrounded by her family, tears streaming down her face. Gibbs kissed his daughter's head then his granddaughter's. He then tugged his wife closer to his side.
…
Abby left NCIS in a daze. She fake smiled at security and walked into the dark. The path was slippy and wet because of the snow but Abby barely noticed the water soaking into her soaks and the falling snow seeping into her pyjamas. She'd be surprised if Ziva ever forgave her for missing the birth of her niece or nephew. How would Tim react if he found out she was going to so willingly drop everything and move to Mexico at the last minute without even a goodbye.
Sometimes she wondered if he only stayed with her because she tried to top herself. No! This wasn't about Tim or her or her mother; it was about Ziva and the newest member of the Gibbs' family.
"Oh look who it is!" The Goth looked up to see a group of football players from school and their bitchy girlfriends.
"What you doing out so late!" One of them shouted in mock concern, his name was Ryan or something like that.
One jumped right in her way.
"Hey, do you come with a map because I'm getting lost in your eyes," He grabbed her hips and pulled her close to him.
"Please eat a tic-tac!" Abby muttered trying to shove him away.
"Aw look at her cute little pyjamas!" A girl giggled.
"Get off me!" Abby struggled against him.
"It's Andy, right?"
"Abby!" Abby corrected through clenched teeth.
"Whatever," He muttered digging his fingers in so hard he left bruises on her hips and stomach.
"Aaron! Let's just go," a girl called Sophie that Abby sat with in Maths.
"I'm not done yet," Aaron glared before turning back to Abby, "You know if you got rid of the Goth-get-up and the childish haircut, you might actually be hot."
"What!" A girl who Abby assumed was Aaron's girlfriend protested, "You little bitch!" Within seconds Abby was on the floor pinned under Aaron's girlfriend.
"You were trying to steal my boyfriend! You little whore!"
"Least I'd be an improvement to you!" Abby shot back.
The next few minutes were taken up with punches, slaps, scratching and hair pulling. The blonde girl slammed Abby's head into the ground but Abby ignored the dizziness and kneed the girl in the stomach and shove her so that Abby was now pinning her to the ground.
"Stay away from me!" Abby spat.
"Drop dead, Gibbs!"
"Not going to happen," Abby smirked punching her one more time before getting up and making a run for it. By the time Abby reached the hospital she was panting and sweating but chilled to the bone.
Abby shivered and hugged herself as she padded along to the front desk with a bleeding nose, cut lip, black eye and a slight limp.
"Hi, could you tell me where Ziva Gibbs is?" She asked quietly.
"Goodness, what happened to you, sweetie?" The elderly woman at the desk asked leaning forward slightly in a protective manner.
Abby smiled weakly, "I just would really like to see my sister."
The nurse patted Abby's hand which lay numbly on the desk before giving her directs to Ziva's room.
Once she reached the corridor of intensive care after finding out that where her family were and not in Ziva's room she wished she could turn around and walk away but Gibbs had already seen her through the glass.
"Where the hell have you been?!" Gibbs asked harshly as he and Jenny came out into the corridor, "I dropped you off at NCIS for a reason! Why'd you take off?" Abby glanced at Jenny who wore a guilty expression.
"Jethro-" Jenny tried to tell him but he ignored her and concentrated on yelling at his daughter.
"Well?"
"I went for a walk," Abby muttered.
"You went for a walk. Oh I'm sorry, you should have said so," Gibbs said sarcastically, "What about your sister, huh Abby! How could you be so selfish! Both you and your mum missed the birth because of you!"
"I'm sorry," Abby said tears threatening to spill on to her swallow cheek.
"Don't even try it with the tears, young lady! It won't work! I can believe you, Abby! What has gotten into you?"
"Abby, what happened to your face?" Jenny asked.
"You better hope that Ziva forgives you because if I was her I wouldn't!" Gibbs continued, "I expected more from you! Family first! What the hell happened to your face?"
"I got in a fight," Abby mumbled.
"Perfect! Anything else you like to tell me? What happened?"
"Nothing"
"You better have a better explanation than that!"
Abby swallowed then shrugged.
Gibbs saw red but Abby was too busy looking at the baby in Ziva's arms. She turned and went to sprint around but Gibbs caught her around the waist roughly causing his daughter to yelp.
"You get in that room and apologise to your sister, now!" Gibbs dragged her along to the door before letting her go and pushing her lightly into the room.
"Abby!" Ziva smiled, "Come meet your niece"
"I have a niece?" Abby whispered.
"Yeah but I'm the only one who can hold her for the time being but you can hold her in a couple of weeks," Ziva ushered Abby closer.
"She's tiny," Abby said, "She's so beautiful"
Ducky, Tony and Kate had left to get coffee but Tim and Jimmy smiled as they watched the two sisters.
"What's her name?"
"Antonia Abigail Gibbs," Ziva grinned kissing her daughter's head.
"That's so pretty," Abby put her arm around Ziva's shoulder.
"Abby, you're soaking," Ziva said looking up at her sister.
"Oh, sorry," Abby jumped back slightly scared she'd make her niece more ill than she already was, "I'm sorry I wasn't here"
"Don't worry mum and dad weren't here either," Ziva sighed.
"I made them late," Abby mumbled.
"I still love you"
"I love you more," Abby smiled slightly then she sat down next to Tim and snuggled into him.
…
A couple of hours later Gibbs decided to take Jen and Abby home for tonight as Ducky had already said he'd stay the night as Kate and Tony were going to take Tim and Jimmy home.
"Go to your room," Gibbs said as soon as Abby got out of the car, he then went in and straight into the kitchen to fix himself some proper coffee.
"Have a shower, get changed and I'll bring you some hot chocolate up in a bit," Jenny said to her daughter tucking a strand of hair behind her daughter's ear.
"I'm sorry, baby," Jenny said pulling her daughter into a hug.
"It's ok, mummy. Is Ziva really your favourite?"
"I love you both exactly the same," Jenny kissed her head.
"Dad's really pissed at me," Abby muttered.
"He'll get over himself when he's got Antonia to fuss over but he loves you, Abbs, you're his baby girl"
Abby took a deep breath, "I love you"
"I love you too, Angel," After that Abby bolted upstairs as she heard her dad leave the kitchen.
It took exactly one hour for Gibbs to be standing outside his youngest daughter's room, Bert under his arm.
"Abbs," He said as he opened the door. Abby lay spread out on the bed dressed in Gibbs' old NIS shirts and his old grey sweatpants. One leg was under the covers and the other along with one of her arms were hanging off the side of the bed, the black gothic teddy bear she got off Ducky was clenched in her other arm.
Gibbs smiled walked over to her, replaced the teddy with Bert and move her arm and leg back in the bed. It wasn't until he went to pull her duvet and patchwork blanket over her that he noticed the discolouration of her skin. He pulled the shirt up slightly to reveal several large bruises across her stomach, waist and hips, forgetting that she'd been in a fight the only thing he could think of was when he grabbed her in the corridor. Gibbs' only thought was what the hell have I done to her?
Author note: The scene's between Abby and Ziva are based on how me and my little sister interact with one another, sometimes I wanna kill her but I still love her.
