Kate Todd stood in her kitchen cleaning up the mess from making dinner. "Who knew making pasta for one would be so messy." She called to no one in particular. The doorbell rang, Kate dropped the dishtowel on the table and went to answer it. Gibbs stood before her, in a black shirt and jeans.

"Uh... hey Gibbs..." Kate stammered, wondering what her boss was doing here, at this hour. 'This can't be good" Kate thought to herself.

Gibbs looked at her, "You gonna invite me in?" He asked shoving his hands in his pockets. Kate starting to feel a bit more at ease, "Uh...yea sure, come on in" she smiled at Gibbs. "So what brings you here, Gibbs? Something happen?"

Gibbs looked at her and kissed her shoving her against the door. Kate, once again startled, tried to say something but was at a loss for words. When Gibbs finally broke the kiss, Kate backed away a good 5 feet, "What the hell was that!?" Kate shouted. "What do you think it was Kate?" Gibbs questioned.

Kate looked at him for a moment, "A kiss?" she answered. "Very good Kate, you learn fast." Kate glared at him, "Don't treat me like I'm a..." The rest of the sentence was cut off by Gibbs' mouth. This time Gibbs didn't let up. He pushed her towards the bedroom and kicked the door closed.

When Kate woke up, she was laying on her side with Gibbs curled up next to her. Kate opened an eye and looked at Gibbs, still asleep. Good. Kate got up and headed to the kitchen, she knew Gibbs would want coffee when he got up.

Kate heard rustling coming from her bedroom and poured Gibbs some coffee. He stepped into the kitchen fully dressed. He walked up. Grabbed the coffee, gulped it down, kissed Kate on the cheek and left. And this is what happened every night and morning for about 2 weeks, then it happened. Kate looked down at the little stick, with Abby beside her. A plus sign, that meant positive didn't it?

"Oh man" Abby said, "Your gonna have to tell me who this new guy is now!" Kate, still in shock just looked at the stick. "Abb's ... I'm in big, BIG trouble!" Abby gave her a reassuring smile, "Kate, I'm sure the guy is gonna be ok with this" . Kate stood up and went to the window, "You don't understand" Abby looked at her in mock horror, "Oh God, it's not Tony is it?" Kate had to chuckle at the thought of that, "No, it's not Tony." Kate made a gagging gesture, "Yuck!" Abby laughed, glad she was able to lighten the mood, "Aww, come on Kate, he's not that bad."

Abby smiled even wider and decided to see if she could make Kate laugh more, "Well at least Gibbs isn't the father." Kate froze at the mention of his name. "Abby," she whispered. She looked at Kate, open mouthed, "Oh My God, Kate...You didn't!" Kate nodded and slid down to the floor.

"I have to tell him, don't I?" Kate asked, already knowing the answer. She stood up and headed towards the door. "Kate, do you want me to go with you?" Kate smiled but shook her head, "Nah, Abby, I better do this myself."

It was Sunday, so Gibbs had the day off. Kate figured he was in his basement working on his boat. She walked up to the door and her hands were shaking. "Ok Kate, calm down... don't freak out" She whispered. She knocked on the door, and it creaked open. "Well I guess he's home." Kate walked through the kitchen and to the door that lead to the basement. She knocked before she walked in.

Gibbs smiled when he saw her walking down the stairs, "Can't stay away eh?" He laughed, but stopped when he saw the look on her face. "Jesus Kate, you look like hell." Kate couldn't form words in her head, so she just nodded. She walked down the last couple of steps and Gibbs met her at the bottom. She fell into his arms. Gibbs, startled, asked, "What happened Katie?"

Kate handed him the stick and turned away. Gibbs just looked at it and said nothing. When he finally spoke up, his voice was shaky, "Kate, does this mean?" Kate nodded again without turning around.
