Well, here is the final chapter of this story. Hope you enjoy it. For the purposes of this story, Ziva has already left, but still keeps in sporadic touch with the team. At least they are able to contact her. She still rarely responds, but for this time, she will. Please read and review. Thanks!

A year went by. During that time, there was a lot of heartache. Chief Strauss was killed by a man with a vendetta against the BAU. Gibbs was investigated by a very vindictive prosecutor who was determined to bring the team leader down. As a result of that and a run in she had with an old friend, Ziva took off f for Israel and went off the grid. Tony had gone after her and eventually found her, but sadly, returned after two months without her. She had barely spoken to any of them since then. Palmer and Breena applied to adopt a baby, but at the last minute, the birth mother changed her mind. The Palmers were devastated, and the team was devastated for them. Still, mixed in with the heartache was joy. Not long after Palmer and Breena's heartbreaking experience, Abby found out that she and Reid were expecting. She announced it to her team at work and Reid announced to his.

"Way to go [retty boy!" Morgan said. JJ gave Reid a big hug and said,

"You're going to make a great dad, Spence."

"Absolutely! And between this team and Goth Wizard's team, you are going to have a lot of baby-sitters to choose from." Garcia added, hugging her friend.

"I'll keep that in mind." Reid said. Then he received hugs and congratulations from the others.

Meanwhile, at NCIS, Abby had called everyone up to the squad-room. When everyone, including Palmer and Ducky, was gathered, Gibbs looked at Abby and said,

"So what's going on, Abbs? What'd you need to tell us that couldn't wait?"

"Well, you know I hadn't been feeling too well." the others nodded. Abby had been feeling sick for several weeks and they were all concerned for her.

"Well, I went to the doctor yesterday."

"So what's going on? Is everything alright, Abbs?" asked the newest team member, Eleanor Bishop. Abby practically jumped up and down as she confirmed,

"It's better than alright! I'm pregnant!" Bishop, McGee, Tony, and Palmer let out loud cheers. McGee was the first to hug Abby, followed by the other three. Ducky then came up and pulled the Goth into a hug and said,

"Congratulations, my dear. I am certain that you will be a most wonderful mother." Abby hugged the man back tightly.

"Awww! Thank you, Ducky. I expect you to provide my child with tons of exciting and fascinating stories."

"I would be happy to." Ducky replied. After he stepped back, Gibbs moved forward without a word and pulled Abby in tight. Abby melted into the hug.

"I want you to be a big part of baby Reid's life, Gibbs. He or she will need a grandpa. William Reid isn't in the picture and from what I know of him, he is NOT a man I would want anywhere NEAR my kid. You're practically my dad. That automatically makes you Grandpa Gibbs to any kids I have."

"I'd like that, Abbs." Gibbs replied simply.

"So what about us? Do I get to be Uncle Tony?"

"Of course, Tony. And Tim and Jimmy. And Bishop will be Aunt Ellie. This baby is going to be SO incredibly loved! There's the BAU team as well."

"Ms. Sciuto. Be sure to let me know when you can no longer work." Abby spun around, startled. She hadn't heard the director approach.

"Oh, I'm still going to be working right up until my due date, unless the baby comes early. And as soon as my maternity leave is over, I'm coming back."

"You need to look into what kind of chemicals it's not safe for you to be around." Abby smiled and assured her boss,

"Already done, sir. I'll bring in somebody to work with the stuff I can't be around whenever it's necessary."

"That's all I ask. Thank you." With that, Vance headed back to his office. The rest of the group quickly got back to work.

Over the next few months Abby and Reid prepared to be parents. They had chosen purple and silver for the room colors. They started setting things up before finding out the gender and just used gender neutral items. Before they knew it, it was time to find out the gender of the baby. Abby and Reid took off from work to both be at the appointment. The doctor did the ultra-sound and immediately found something strange. The look on her face made the parents to be uncomfortable.

"What's going on? Is something wrong with the baby?" Abby demanded in a shaky voice. Reid took her hand but remained silent. The doctor smiled at them.

"Nope. Nothing wrong with baby, except it's babies. There are two of them in there!"

"WHAT?!" Reid and Abby exclaimed simultaneously. The doctor chuckled.

"You heard correctly. You two are having twins." Reid suddenly felt very dizzy. The nurse noticed this and led Reid to a chair.

"I'm going to be a father to two babies?" He asked in disbelief. Abby nodded, frantically.

"That's what she just said, Spencer! And I'm going to be the mother of twins!"

"We are going to need more of everything! We aren't prepared for twins!" was Reid's response. Abby grabbed her husband by the shoulders and all but shouted,

"You're telling me! We need another bed and another baby swing and another rocking chair so we can rock both of them at once! We're also going to need more clothes! And blankets and..."

"Calm down, you two. You still have four months." The doctor interrupted Abby's rambling. Abby and Reid took deep breaths and calmed themselves.

"Sorry, Dr. Reilly." Reid said. The doctor smiled.

"Don't be. I get it. You're overwhelmed. But you'll get through this. Now do you want to know the genders?"

"Yes! Definitely!" Abby responded. Dr. Reilly turned the screen so the couple could see. Abby teared up at the sight and Reid got misty as well.

"That's our daughter." Reid whispered in awe.

"And our other daughter." Abby added, hoarsely.

"Congratulations, both of you." the doctor spoke up.

"Thank you, Dr. Reilly." Abby replied. Soon it was time for them to leave. Reid called his mom on the way back to work to tell her the news. Texts were sent to Emily and Ziva, as well as to Abby's brothers. Then they each told their teams the news once they were back to work. Everyone was so excited for the couple. Penelope ,JJ, and Bishop planned a baby shower for Abby. Among the guests were Alex Blake, Breena Palmer, and McGee's girlfriend, Delilah. Abby received some pretty amazing presents.

Penelope gave Abby a dozen outfits for each baby. From Delilah there were two mobiles to hang above the cribs. They had shapes hanging from them. From Bishop there were two stuffed hippos that played You Are My Sunshine. One was lavender and the other was sea green. Breena provided a baby bathtub. JJ gave Abby a couple of CDs of children's songs. One was lullabies and the other had more upbeat songs. Henry had helped pick them out. Blake supplied some diapers and sleepers. Breena also provided diapers as well as a sound machine for the babies' room. Ziva had actually mailed gifts for the babies. Abby had received a box that included two Hasma teething rings and a door hanger with a special Hasma blessing for new babies on it. There had been a note that said simply,

Keep your children safe and close, Abby. Cherish them always. -Z

Abby had tried to reach out and thank her friend, but had not been able to get hold of her. Besides the gift in the mail from Ziva, there had been one from Emily. She had sent several books by the author, Sandra Boynton. Dianna Reid had knitted two beautiful blankets for her grandchildren. One was lavender and sea- green and the other was blue and pale orange. The men gave gifts as well. Tony got the babies some stacking rings, McGee gave the babies each a busy box, Ducky gave the babies each a cloth book, and Vance picked out some rubber bath toys. Rossi gave the babies savings bonds for college later on, and two stuffed toys, a dog and a teddy bear. Morgan chose some bibs. Hotch supplied two stuffed animals, a pig, and a duck, that Jack had chosen. Even Director Vance also got some diapers, knowing that you could never have too many of those. Gibbs' gifts touched Abby the most. He had come over to her place one day to deliver them. He had built each of the babies their own shelf for the room.

"When you name the babies, Abbs, I'm gonna come over and paint the names on the shelves."

"Oh, Gibbs! These are so beautiful! They're perfect! Thank you so much!" Abby couldn't hold the tears back. Darned hormones. She didn't care though. She threw her arms around the older man and buried her face in his shoulder. Then she pulled back and Gibbs kissed her forehead.

"You're gonna be a terrific mom, Abbs."

"Thank you." she replied softly, with a smile.

Abby got more and more pregnant as time went by. She had her days where the team was walking on eggshells around her in case they might trigger an emotional outburst, but all in all, the pregnancy was going smoothly. Then, one day, about four months after the shower, Abby was working in her lab, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Ouch!" she cried. She got through the pain and kept on working. About ten minutes later, there was another sharp pain. Abby moved on from it as well. When it happened a third time, Abby cried out loudly. She then realized that she might be in labor. She called Gibbs who answered quickly.

"Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs!"

"Yeah, Abbs! You got something?" Abby breathed through another pain before responding.

"Uh, yeah. A baby on the way. Gibbs? I think I'm in labor!"

"Be right there!" Was the quick reply. Then he hung up and turned to the team.

"Bishop, with me! McGee call Ducky."

"What's going on, Boss?" Tony questioned.

"Abbs' in labor!" Gibbs called as he and Bishop got in the elevator. Down in Abby's lab, Ducky was already there.

"That's it, my dear. Just breathe through it. We'll get you to the hospital as quickly as possible."

"Abbs!" Gibbs called out."

"In here, Gibbs!" They found her and Ducky in her office. Gibbs and Bishop helped Abby stand and half carried her out of the lab.

"Keep us posted, Jethro!" Ducky called after him.

"Will do, Duck!" Gibbs replied.

"Wait! I need to call Spencer! I need him there with me!" Abby exclaimed.

"Call 'im on the way." Gibbs ordered. Abby did that and Reid met the group at the hospital. Abby and Reid were taken to a delivery room, while Gibbs, Bishop, Morgan and JJ sat in the waiting room. After a while, the others started arriving. It was a very full waiting room. In the delivery room, Reid was helping his wife through her labor.

"You're doing great, Midnight Princess."

"It's almost time to push." encouraged Dr. Reilly. Abby nodded as she was in the middle of another huge contraction.

"Ok. On the next contraction, I want you to push as hard as you can." the doctor said.

"Ok." Abby whimpered. The next contraction came about six minutes later and Abby pushed with all her might. It took three big pushes to deliver the first baby."

"It's a girl!" The doctor said, before cutting the chord and handing the baby to the nurse.

"Oooh! Here comes the next contraction!" Abby called out.

"Ok. Just push when the doctor tells you." encouraged Reid.

"Alright, Abby, It's time to bring that little girl's sister into the world. Time to push again." The doctor said, after Abby had rested for a few minutes. Abby pushed and pushed, and finally second little girl Reid made her appearance. Abby burst into relieved tears when she heard her baby girl screaming her lungs out, along with her sister. The adrenaline that had been keeping her focused on getting both babies into the world was finally spent. Reid's eyes filled with tears as well, as he gazed at his two beautiful children. He kissed his wife and she rested against him. After simply staring at these precious gifts that God had entrusted them with for several moments, Abby looked up at her husband and asked,

"Babes? Could you go update everyone, and get them to come in here? I want them to meet the newest members of the family."

"Are you sure you don't want to rest first?" Reid asked, uncertainly.

"I'll rest later. I really need to see our family now." Reid finally agreed and kissed Abby again before heading out to the waiting room. He looked around and noticed that more had arrived, Including Abby's brother Kyle.

"I'm supposed to keep Luca posted." Kyle informed Reid. Reid grinned widely.

"Well, you may tell him that he has two nieces."

"YAAAAY!" the cheer rang out from everyone in the room.

"Abby is exhausted but she still wants to see all of you. Where's JJ?" Reid said, suddenly realizing she was missing.

"She took the boys to the gift shop. They each wanted to pick out something to give to the babies in the hospital. I'll text her. She won't want to miss this!" Garcia answered. The text was sent and soon a ding was heard. Garcia looked at her phone and said,

"They're on their way back." About five minutes later, JJ came in with two very excited little boys. Henry was holding a plush rattle shaped like an elephant and Jack had one shaped like a giraffe.

"Can we see the babies now?" Jack blurted out.

"Yeah! Can we?" Henry added.

"You bet. We can only stay a very short time. Aunt Abby is exhausted and there are a lot of us." JJ warned her son and his friend.

"AWW!" the boys said together.

"You can still give her your presents." Hotch reassured them.

"Right. And I know the babies will love them." Reid said with a smile.

The group then headed down to the room that Abby was in. The nurse was just bringing back the babies.

"Hey guys!" Abby said softly but happily. Everyone came forward for hugs, and then the two young boys went up to the bed and handed Abby the rattles.

"Wow! These are so cool, guys! The babies will absolutely love them. Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome!" The two replied.

"So you two. Did you decide on names yet?" Rossi asked.

"Actually, yes." Reid picked up a twin and handed her to Morgan.

"This is our daughter, Jacinda Elle Reid. We're calling her Jacey."

"After Gideon." Rossi immediately figured out.

"And Elle." Garcia added in a quiet tone. Reid nodded. Then he picked up Jacey's sister and handed her to Gibbs. The man practically melted. Not even the tough as nails Leroy Jethro Gibbs could resist a baby.

"Gibbs, you are holding Caitlyn Gloria Reid."

"You named her after your mom." Gibbs observed.

"And Kate." Tony murmured.

"Exactly." Abby said softly, her eyes tearing. Soon, the babies began making the rounds. Abby took this opportunity to send the picture she had taken earlier to Emily, Luca, and Ziva. She also sent one to Dr. Norman to show Dianna. First response was from Luca.

Congrats, Sis! I can't wait to meet my nieces!

Emily answered not long after.

WOW! Congratulations, you two. The girls are so beautiful. Hope to get back to the states for a visit soon. XO! -E

There wasn't a response from Ziva at that time. Soon the nurse came in and said there were WAY too many people in the room. After she left, the group started to disperse. Abby hugged everyone and thanked them for coming. The babies were taken back to the nursery, so that Abby could rest. Suddenly, Abby heard her phone ping. Reid handed to her, and what she saw made her smile.

"Mazal Tov, Abby. They are precious. -Z

Reid took the phone and put it on the bedside table. Then he crawled up on the bed with Abby and kissed her before holding her in his arms. They drifted off to sleep together, thinking about how blessed they really were. They couldn't ask for a better family.
