THREE YEARS LATER

It was late Saturday afternoon and San Thomas Cathedral was glowing with light and laughter, car after car entered the large parking lot next to the magnificent Gothic Cathedral while dozens of guests walked through the huge oak doors filling the wooden benches at a steady pace; the long central aisle was decorated with hundreds of red and white roses displayed in tall crystal vases settled over a dark green carpet, all the columns inside were wrapped in garlands made from the same beautiful flowers.

The groom was already at the very front; Timothy McGee stood beaming next to Tony DiNozzo, his best man

He was so happy, he couldn't believe it, today he was marrying Abby Sciuto and there was nothing else he could possibly wish for.

Tim surveyed the people in front of him, his family, his friends; everyone important to him was present.

On the first row at his left he could see his parents smiling proudly at him, even though they were quite traditional they had warmed up to Abby in no time, and he was thankful for that; The whole NCIS team, except Gibbs were sitting behind them, Leroy Jethro Gibbs was going to give the bride away.

Abby's father had died unexpectedly 2 years before, and her brother Edward, knowing how much Gibbs meant to her had asked him to take his place.Tim smiled and turned to look at the other side of the aisle where Abby's mother and brother sat beaming surrounded by friends and family, it was a fantastic sight since some of them were wearing elegant outfits and some others the most bizarre Goth paraphernalia.

Tony placed his hand on his shoulder making him jump.

"Hey Probie, are you ready?" Tony said grinning making him realize the music was starting to play and he felt his heart swell with happiness. He had no idea what Abby was going to wear, to be honest he didn't care; whatever she wore she was going to look beautiful.

It had been the theme of the week at NCIS HQ though, Tony even organized a poll, the choices were: Full black, funeral gown, blood red or a mixture of the above, he hadn't asked for the final results.

The back doors opened, and Sarah McGee started walking through the sea of roses decorating the church. She looked gorgeous and so did Ziva David who was walking behind her. Tim almost laughed at Tony's expression when Ziva appeared, he would later swear that he had heard Tony's jaw dropping to the floor; both women were wearing identical dark green dresses and were holding flower bouquets between their hands.

They made their way up to the altar and took their places opposite to Tony and Tim, McGee felt his knees tremble; he couldn't wait to see his Abby walking towards him, after three long years since the day Abby had said she loved him; at last they were getting married.

He thought about all the ups and downs in their relationship, he remembered carrying the ring for months inside his suit pocket waiting for the perfect moment to propose, as it turned out he shouldn't have worried at all.

They had been chasing a group of Colombian drug dealers for weeks, finally cornering them in some empty warehouses; things had gone from bad to worse with Tony getting shot on the shoulder, and the rest of them ending nursing several types of wounds too; Abby had been frantic with worry in her lab, and the minute they returned to headquarters all bleeding in some level, Abby had jumped into his arms throwing him backwards on to the floor, almost knocking him unconscious.

Abby had been crying so hard that in an effort to calm her down, the only thing that had popped into his mind was to take the small velvet box from his pocket and then proceed to ask her to marry him right there in the middle of the bull pen, covered in blood in front of everybody including Director Sheppard.

Abby's look of total incredulity was now one of his most precious memories, just because it had lasted about half a second, then she had started screaming in delight and proceeded to kiss him in a way that he was sure could qualify as X-Rated.

"Probie look!"

Tony's cheerful voice brought him back to the present again, the doors at the back were starting to open, and beautiful notes of some Celtic music piece were already playing all over the church.

The minute Abby appeared his heart skipped a bit and he thought he was going to faint, Abby was dressed exactly as Arwen the Elf princess from the Lord of the Rings. A beautiful white flowing gown hugged her perfect figure, the neckline low leaving her shoulders bare, she was even wearing the hair dress and the Evenstar pendant, her now long raven hair cascading down her back shinning under the church lights.

She was like a vision walking towards him, her tattoos where surely covered with something because he couldn't see them, he was extatic.

"Oh my God, Abby." He said out loud.

"I lost the bet, but who cares, she looks stunning Probie, you lucky man."

Tony said grinning next to him.

"I can't believe she did this"

"She loves you McGee."

Tim didn't answer, Abby and Gibbs were almost there, he stepped down the altar to meet them, as the minister started talking.

"Who gives this woman away?"

"I do." Gibbs answered with a tiny smile "You take good care of her McGee" He added.

"I will boss" Tim said taking Abby's hand and kissing the tips of her fingers his eyes shinning with tears.

"Thank you" he whispered as they both turned to face the minister.

"I knew you would like the surprise, I love you so much Timmy" she whispered back

The ceremony continued and everything around them melted away, nothing in the world existed, just the two of them and the love they shared.

Timothy McGee and Abigail Sciuto were finally together, forever.
