Hey hey. This is probably so inaccurate, but bear with me as I've never had a child, so yeah. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

If you recognise it, it's not mine.

Enjoy!


Chapter 8

7 months later, and I was 8 months along. My stomach was bulging, and I was on maternity leave. I felt so great though. I had names picked out, although I didn't know the gender. I was secretly hoping for a boy. I was back at my place again, and Gibbs had offered to stay until the baby was born, and a month after as well. I felt happy, knowing he had been through it, so I gladly accepted. I wanted all the guys close to me, and the baby.

Jimmy Palmer was super happy for me. He came into work one day, and told everyone who would listen. Breena was now 6 months pregnant. He told me that they were both hoping for a girl.
"Morning Abs." Gibbs said, as I waddled into the kitchen. I waddled now, I didn't walk, because the baby was so big, it make me walk funny. We both thought it was hilarious.
"Hey," I smiled at him. My mobile rang, and I noticed it was Spencer, "Hey Spence. How you going?"
"I'm good. How are you? And the baby?" He asked. Even though Spencer and I were not together, he wanted to be as involved as possible with the baby.
"We're both good." I smiled. He was a sweet guy.
"OK, well, just checking in. I'll call you later." He said. He was going back to sea in a week, and he was very unhappy about it. He wanted to be at the birth but knew he wouldn't be. I hung up the phone and looked at Gibbs.
"Spencer checking in again." I said.
"I gathered." He said. He gave me a bowl of cereal, and I dug in.
"I've gotta go Abs. We've got a case." He said.
"I miss working." I said.
"I know you do Abs. See ya later." He said, walking around the counter and out the door.
"Bye Gibbs!" I called after him. I finished my food and washed it up. I then sat on the lounge and turned the TV on. I let myself fall asleep. I had been so tired all the time.

I awoke, and looked around, wondering what had woken me. Then I felt it. A pain in my stomach area, and I knew exactly what was happening. I clicked Gibbs' speed dial.
"Abby?" He asked, answering the phone.
"Gibbs, I think, I think I'm in labour." I said, breathing through another contraction.
"I'm coming," He said. He didn't hang the phone up though, "How far apart are they?" He asked. I heard his engine start.
"I.. I don't know," I said, another one coming, "They're pretty close though." I let out a small scream.
"Just breathe Abby," He said, "It'll be OK. You'll be OK." He said. I heard his car in the driveway, and that's when he hung up. He burst in the door, and came over to me. I was still sitting on the lounge. Gibbs held my hand and I stood up. Another contraction raced through my body, and I squeezed his hand. I screamed, louder this time. He helped me to the door, and I screamed again.
"I… can't. It's coming." I felt insane pressure.
"OK, we can do this," He said, helping me back to the lounge, "You just need to breathe, and when you feel the urge, push," Between contractions, I wasn't getting much time to breathe. I felt the urge, so I pushed. I screamed and pushed again. I panted, and I looked at Gibbs, "It's OK, Abs, good girl," He coached. I pushed, longer and harder, and finally, the baby was out. Gibbs held it in his hands and smiled, "It's a little girl Abs." He handed me the baby. I held my baby girl in my arms, and as messy as she was, I loved her already.

4 hours later, and I was in a hospital bed, holding my daughter, with the whole team, including the Director and Spencer, standing around me. After they had all chorused congratulations', I handed the baby to Jimmy.
"Soon, it'll be you." I smiled at him. He looked at her, and grinned.
"It will." He said.
"What's her name, Abby?" Asked Ziva.
I looked at Jimmy holding her, "Her name is Kate." I said, watching Tony's reaction. Tears immediately filled his eyes, and he touched her tiny hand.
"Kate." He whispered, closing his eyes, and wiping the tears away. Jimmy handed him the baby, and he stared at her. He obviously had loved the agent that we had all lost years earlier, and still felt a great deal of pain because of her death. Caitlin Todd's death had been hard on all of us, but Tony had felt it deeper. I knew he had been in love with her.
"It's OK, isn't it?" I asked.
He nodded, "Of course. Kate would have loved it." He said. He passed little Kate back to me and I held my daughter, in awe of the fact that I had grown her.
"Mr Palmer and I are going to go. We have a lot of work to do." Ducky said. He leant down and hugged me, and so did Jimmy. Then the two left.
"I'm going to go too," Director Vance smiled at me, "You take care of her, she's depending on you." He gave me a hug and left also. Tim, Tony, Ziva and Spencer were the next to hug me and leave. Gibbs looked at Kate and I.
"She's beautiful Abby," He said, looking longingly at her. He was obviously remembering Kelly and Shannon. I handed him Kate and smiled. He took her and sat on the chair next to me, "She really is beautiful." He said.
