Abby and McGee

Within the past month and a half things had become quite interesting for Abby and Tim. The day after Addie and Jake turn 11 months old, they had taken their first steps. Of course Tim captured his son and daughter’s milestone on his Iphone, Abby had of course called all of us to tell us what had happened and begged us all to come over quickly. We were all happy to see Addie and Jake walk before their first birthday.
However on this day Abby was not her cheerful self. She was also in need of some time with Jethro. Abby had decided to call Jethro.
“Gibbs can you come over? I need to see you.” Abby inquired when Jethro answered his house phone.
“Sorry Abs, wish I could; but Jen has a Doctor’s appointment to check on the baby. I’ll see ya tomorrow for the twins’ family party.”
“But Gibbs…..”
“Abby, I can’t today. I promised Jen that I’d go with her to this appointment.”
Abby hung up with Jethro and sat down on the couch to sulk a bit while Tim got the twins their snack as they played with their toys on the floor in front of Abby.
“What’s wrong?” McGee asked.
“Gibbs refused to come over, he said he had to go with Jenny to her doctor’s appointment.”
“That’s all it is?”
“Don’t you see, Timmy; Gibbs said no to me. He has never really once said no to me.”
“Abby, you have to share Gibbs with Jenny now. She’s his wife and the mother of his baby. We haven’t been in the situation of them being like they were when she first became Director and you were his favorite while they mended their relationship for awhile.”
As Abby processed what McGee had just said Addie and Jake toddled their over to the couch where Abby and McGee were. Before Abby and McGee knew their daughter and son were about to reach another milestone.
“Mommy up.” Addie said.
“Daddy, up.” Jake said.
“Did you hear that?” Abby asked McGee.
“Mommy, up.” Addie said again.
“Daddy, up.” Jake repeated.
“They said their first words.” McGee said as he and Abby picked the twins up.
Of course Abby wanted to tell everyone. When she called my house Nick had answered.
“Its good to hear that Addie and Jake spoke for the first time Abby, we’re all thrilled for them; but Jay isn’t exactly in a talking to anyone mood right now.”
“Did she lose the baby?” Abby asked fully knowing that it would take a lot to shake me.
“The baby is fine, she didn’t miscarry. Its something else.”
“Nick, what is it?”
“You know what today is?””
“Its September 15th.” Abby said.
“Right so you know what today is for her and Jen.”
“Today is their mom’s birthday. That explains why Gibbs does not want to leave Jenny’s side.”
“I’ll tell Jay, that you called.”
“Thank-you and tell her if she needs anything that she can call me.”
“I will Abby.”
Some time after Nick talked to Abby, Jen had Jethro drop her off at my house. Of course Jethro protested, but he knew that today was not a day to mess with Jen. Jen and I spent the remainder of the day in mine and Nick’s bedroom secluded from the world while Nick and Jethro stayed in the kitchen with the girls.
By mid- afternoon, early evening; Jen and I had some visitors. Apparently Abby felt and deemed it necessary that she, Ziva, Kate to be at our side. It didn’t take much for Abby to convince Kate and Ziva to come over. They knew it wasn’t good to have two sadden pregnant women.
So by 8pm as Jen and I continued lying on mine and Nick’s bed crying our eyes out; Abby, Ziva and Kate piled onto the bed. Shortly after they had arrived the remainder of the NCIS family had arrived, kids and spouses included.
After putting the twins to bed in the crib Nick had set up in the nursery for Jayla, McGee had came into my bedroom to take Abby to bed. Once they were situated on the blow up bed next to the twins in the nursery, McGee looked over to Abby before they drifted off to sleep.
“Forever and For Always.” McGee said as Abby slowly drifted off to sleep.
