Author's Notes:
the nights towards the end of season 2
*See No Evil*
Kate walked through the front door and Gibbs followed her. She went into the bedroom and took her shoes and jacket off. She walked out to find Gibbs in the kitchen getting a drink.
“ You know what?” she said.
“ What?”
“ You were really good with Sandy yesterday” she said with a smile as she walked towards him. He put his glass down.
“ Yeah well” he said with a shy smile. She pulled herself up onto the bench top and pulled him in front of her. She leaned over and kissed him.
“ Makes me wonder about having our own” she started then kissed him again. Gibbs head was just putting together what she was going to say next. He broke the kiss.
“ No” he said.
“ No what?” she asked confused.
“ Kids”
“ Gibbs I didn’t say I wanted them I was just saying” she tried to explain.
“ I know its” he started.
“ Its what?”
“ Your young and I’m not. You haven’t had a family but I” he stopped as he realised he hasn’t told her about Shannon and Kelly yet. She looked at him in confusion. He left and went into the bedroom. She was dumbstruck at what has just happened. All she wanted to do was have some fun but now she has upset him….again. she walked into the bedroom and found him sitting on the bed.
“ Gibbs what’s wrong? Did I say something”
“ No it wasn’t you. Kate I have to tell you something” he said getting up and standing in front of her. He took her hands and looked her in the eyes.
“ You want to start a family but the thing is…I have already had one”
“ Had one?”
“ Shannon and Kelly. Before the first ex wife there was Shannon. We had a little girl named Kelly. We would ride the horses along the beach, have picnics in the park and at night Kelly would help me out in the garage” he took a deep breath and looked to the floor.
“ I got deployed for 6 months and when I came back they were dead. They had been killed by the murderer they saw kill someone. So depressed and filled with rage I went and hunted him down and killed him” he said looking at her. Kate was stunned. He knew he had been hurt before but nit like that.
“ Oh Gibbs. I’m so sorry” she said hugging him.
“ Don’t be” he whispered in her ear. She leaned back and looked at him. She smiled and kissed him.

*The Bone Yard*
Kate sits on the couch while Gibbs makes them a drink. It has been a very, very long week filled with surprises. The biggest one was FBI Agent Fornell Killing himself, the mole turning out to be Charles (another FBI Agent) and then Fornell walking out of the NCIS building after having a meeting with the Director and Gibbs.
He broke the drink over and she gave him a smile and went back to her chain of thought.
“ What you thinking about?” he asked her although having an idea what it might be.
“ Nothing” she said with a smile. He looked at her.
“ Alright. How the hell is Fornell still alive. I mean that was him hanging from the cell roof wasn’t it?” she asked him, really confused. He just sat there and laughed.
“ Your not going to tell me are you”
“ Nope”
“ Oh Gibbs, come on please! I wont tell anyone” she pleaded with him.
“ And neither will I” he said with a smile. She starred at him but he kept smiling. She got up and went into the bedroom and closed the door behind her.
‘ Women’ he thought to himself. Once he finished his drink he thought he should go and check on her. He knocked on the door.
“ What?” she yelled.
“ Just seeing if your alright”
“ I’m fine” she said. He waited for her top add something to that sentence.
“ Actually no I’m not” she yelled at him through the door.
“ Why?”
“ Because you wont tell me what happened”
“ Kate”
“ Gibbs” she yelled back. She loved playing this game. That’s all it was, was a game. He wouldn’t tell her what she wanted and so for that he wouldn’t get sex. Well that’s what normally happens but tonight was going to be different. All she wanted from him was sex. Well could you blame her. Its been 2 and a half weeks since they actually had time to do it and as they had nothing better to do. Why not.
“ Kate just come out and stop this” he said.
“ Fine” she said. He stepped back from the door as she opened it. His jaw dropped as she stood in the doorway. During there little tiff she gotten changed. She was now wear a black lacy bra with matching undies that were skimpier then the rest of her undies. He could not take his eyes off her.
“ Like what you see” she said teasingly. He nodded his head as that’s all that would work. She walked slowly over to him and stopped just in front of him. He could smell her sweet perfume. She smiled and leaned up to kiss him but was interrupted by his phone ringing. She laughed and he groaned. He picked it up.
“ Gibbs” he barked into it.
“ Geeze Gibbs is it seriously that bad” Fornell said.
“ Yes, now what do you want”
“ Just wanted to thank you and your team for” he started but Gibbs cut him off.
“ Anytime Tobias. I will tell them that you are grateful” he said then hung up on him. He threw his phone on the couch behind him.
“ Problem?” Kate asked.
“ Nope” he said with a smile and leaned down and kissed her. His hands ran over her body and so did hers. She pressed her body up against his more. He moaned in her mouth and she smiled. She grabbed his belt and pulled him into the bedroom.

* Terminal Leave*
The car was filled with silence on the way home as they had been wrong about the person who had planted the booms to try and kill Mikki Shields. McGee broke the silence by admitting he had pre-ordered something once. They all broke out in laughter.
At home Gibbs was more relaxed then usual after he had found out they had been wrong. Normally he is in a crappie mood and goes straight to his boat.
“ You ok?” she asks him over diner.
“ Yeah. Why?”
“ Nothing, you just seem…happy” she said with a smile.
“ Am I not aloud to be happy” he said with a mouthful of food.
“ I don’t mean that. Its just that after today I thought you might be…you know grumpy” she said softly as not wanting to turn his mood. He looked at her.
“ Forget I said anything” she said quickly as she forked some rice into her mouth.
Gibbs laughed at her.
“ I’m just in a good mood. Is that so hard to believe?” he asked with a questioning look. She looked at him and laughed.
“ Is that a trick question” she said sarcastically.
“ Ok don’t answer that” he said with a laugh. They both were laughing but soon stopped and got back to eating their diner. She looked up at him.
“ You know I don’t think I’ve heard you laugh like that since I meet you on Air Force One” she said picking at her plate. She looked at him to see his reaction. He looked puzzled.
“ You don’t remember do you?” she said with a smile.
“ Nope” he said with a smile. He was smiling a lot and it was nice. Different but nice. She gave a little sigh.
“ It was when I told you that I had to turn the body over to the BFI at Andrews. I said I was sorry and you said”
“ Never say your sorry” he put in with a smile. She looked up at him.
“ Yeah. You then laughed and told me I didn’t have to crochet that one. I thought you were sweet” she said shyly.
“ You still think that now?” he asked. She paused and took a breath.
“ Sometimes and sometimes you can be a” she said.
“ Bastard” he finished off for her.
“ Yes” she said flatly. She had a feeling this would put him a bad mood but it didn’t. He was actually in a talkative mood tonight for some reason.
“ If you could would you change what you did on Air Force One and after it?” he asked. She looked up at him in wonder.
‘ What is going on in his head tonight’ she thought to herself.
“ No. I wouldn’t do anything differently. Especially after” she said with a smile. He smiled back her.
“ How bout you?” she asked catching him off guard. He got up and cleared their plates before coming back to the table and answered her.
“ No. Not for the world” he said as seriously as he could. She smiled at him. He got up and went to her side. He took her hand and lifted her up off her seat. He put his arms around her waist.
“ I love you Kate Todd” he says softly.
“ I love you Leroy Jethro Gibbs” she replied before her lips were over taken by his in a deep passionate kiss.
She had to break away from the kiss as something that she had put to the back of her mind came to the front.
“ I have to tell you something” she said catching her breath. He looked at her.
“ The other day. In the Shields’s house. I was having a shower and thought I was alone as I should have been” she stopped.
“ But” he egged her on.
“ I realised I wasn’t alone. I peeked out of the curtain and it was Tony”
“ Did he see” he stopped himself.
“ I don’t think so. I mean I tried to cover myself as best I could with a sheet of plastic but you know how good they are” she laughed.
“ Don’t worry about him. So what if he saw a little of what I get to see” he said before kissing her again. She smiled and kissed him back. She knew there was a reason she loved him and this was it.

*Call of Silence*
Kate left ages ago but Gibbs didn’t come with her. In fact when she left he was already gone. She thought he must have gone home without her but when she got there he was not. She waited around just to see if he was running late but still no sign of him. She decided to ring his mobile.
“ Gibbs” he answered.
“ Gibbs where are you? I thought you already were home” she said.
“ No, I’ve taken Mr. Yost to diner”
“ Oh ok. How is he?”
“ He’s good. Look I’ll see you after ok”
“ Ok. I love you” she added.
“ Me to” he said then hung up.
Gibbs put his phone on the table and chucked down another drink with Ernie.
“ The missus checking up on ya hey” Ernie said with a smile.
“ You can say that. We’re not married yet” Gibbs says with a little laugh.
“ So who’s the lucky girl?” He asks with interest.
“ Oh just the most beautiful woman in D.C” he says with a smile. He has never opened up to anyone other then Kate and even then he has trouble telling her things. He felt Ernie was different. He felt a strange connection between him and Ernie.
“ Ah that’s always the way” he took another sip of his drink.
“ Your agent Todd. She’s a pretty young thing. She can dance to” he told Gibbs with a smile. Gibbs gave a little laugh.
“ Yeah, I know” he said then took a bit of his sushi that had just arrived. They were silent until Ernie finally got the picture. He maybe old but he knows love when he see’s it.
“ It’s her isn’t it?” he asked Gibbs.
“ Her what?”
“ You are with that beautiful young woman” he said with a smile. Gibbs couldn’t help but smile.
“ I sure am” he said.
“ You keep her close. You never know when it’s to late” Ernie said.
“ I will. She’s not going anywhere” Gibbs said with a hand on Ernie’s shoulder. They smiled at each other, clinked glasses and downed what they had left.

*Heart Break*
It was late and everyone was starting to head out. Everyone except Kate who had wondered down to autopsy to look at Evan Hayes, the innocent she killed.
She stands against the other doors and looks down at him.
‘ I’ m so sorry’ she says in her mind. She has never felt like this before and she never wants to again. He was only young.
‘ Was he really going to shoot Gibbs? Did I even have reason to fire?’ she kept asking herself. She put him back in and sat on the floor against the metal doors.
Gibbs was home and she wasn’t. he didn’t even see her leave the building. He started to get worried so he decided to call her mobile. No answer. He tried her phone at work. No answer. He tried her mobile again. Still no answer. He decided to ring Ducky.
“ Dr. Mallard” Ducky answered.
“ Hey Duck, have you seen Kate?”
“ No I haven’t. the last time I saw her was when we came back from the hospital. I thought she went home”
“ No she didn’t. I cant reach her on her mobile or work number” Gibbs said.
“ Do you want me to help look for her?” Ducky asked.
“ No, no. I’ll go. Thanks anyway Duck”
“ No problem Jethro. Call me when you find her”
“ Will do” and he hung up. The first place Gibbs went was back to work. He could still some light on. He walked into the building and headed straight for their bullpen. No sign of her. He found her mobile on her desk. 2 missed calls from Gibbs showed up on the screen. He put it in his pocket and headed for the elevator. He went to Abby’s lab first. No sign of her. He then thought about autopsy although he couldn’t think of a reason why she would be there but it was worth a try. He entered autopsy and noticed a light on. He walked further on and saw her sitting on the ground leaning against the big freezer.
“ Kate what are you still doing here?” he said as he made his way over to her. She looked up at him but didn’t say anything. He walked over to her and sat down next to her.
“ Kate you cant” he started to say but she cut him off.
“ Please do not tell me to get over it again. I cannot just get over something in 2 minutes like you can Gibbs. I’m not you. I killed an innocent man Gibbs, it’s not something I take lightly” she said.
“ I know your not me. I know how it feels and the best way to deal with it is to get over it because the more you think about it the more you feel guilty” he said as he put his arm around her. She cuddled up to him.
“ Just promise me one thing” she said.
“ What?”
“ Never tell me to get over something again”
“ What if” he started.
“ Gibbs”
“ Ok. I wont”
“ Thankyou” she said looking at him. She gave him a soft smile and then kissed him.

*Black Water*
Kate couldn’t believe it. She was actually told to go on a date with their suspect, Thomas McAllister. She hasn’t been on a date since her and Gibbs have been together and that has been almost 2 years.
When she first met Thomas she was attracted to him but not in the way she was attracted to Gibbs. When they got back to HQ Tony couldn’t help but point out how she acted around him, then out of the blue Gibbs told her to call him an have a date with him.
She met up with him and they talked. Tony once again came in and ruined the day by arresting him.
Kate and Gibbs were watching Abby. Kate couldn’t stand still. Gibbs was surprisingly calm. She wanted to ask him why she made her go on a date with him but thought it best to keep quiet.
When it was all over Kate was walking Thomas out of the building when he asked if she would fly to New York with him for desert. She couldn’t very well reject it. It was after all New York.
Once they had touched down they got a taxi to a little restaurant.
After they had ordered Kate’s phone started to ring. She looked at the caller ID.
“ Sorry, I have to take this” she said with a smile and got up and walked to the back of the restaurant.
“ Yes” she answered the phone.
“ Where did you and McAllister disappear to?” Gibbs asked.
“ We’re in New York ,Gibbs”
“ Why are you there? I thought you were walking him to his car then coming home” he said sounding hurt.
“ Well he offered me desert and it happened to be in New York. I’ll be home in a couple of hours. Don’t worry”
“ How can I not worry when my beautiful, young girlfriend is having desert in New York with a young man then me” he said sarcastically.
“ Look if you don’t like it we will leave now, just remember you’re the one that made me go on a date with him in the first place” she said and hung up. She didn’t know if she should go home or stay. She wanted to go home to be with Gibbs and not with a stranger, but then how often do you get to go to New York just for desert. She knew exactly what she had to do. She went back to the table where Thomas was waiting.
“ I’m so sorry, that was my boss. He wants to see me” she said.
“ Did you tell him where you were?”
“ Yep and he wants me back ASAP”
“ Sure. No problem” he said and got up.
Once they had touched down at home he walked her out to the taxi.
“ I had a good night, even thought we had that little miss-hap” he said holding her hands.
“ Yeah I had a good time to” she said. She smiled at him.
“ I really must be going”
“ Ok” he said then leant in for a kiss. Kate looked at him. This was so wrong. She pushed against him.
“ I cant” she said then got into the taxi and drove off.
The taxi pulled up out the front of their house. She paid him and then made her way inside. It was very late, well early. 7am. She quietly made her way to the bedroom as that’s where she thought he would be but when she got in there the bed was neat and tidy, just how she left it. She dropped her things. She could hear thumping coming from downstairs. Then her mobile started to ring. It was Gibbs. She headed to the basement and answered her phone.
“ Hello”
“ Where are you? Its 7am and you haven’t even called” he said sound tired and worried.
“ Look I wont be to much longer. I’m almost home” she said as she was almost at the basement door.
“ Tell me you are. Please” he begged. Kate laughed at him
“ I’m already here”. Gibbs turned around to see her standing in the doorway of the basement. She closed her phone and he did the same. She slowly made her way down the stairs and he made his way over to her. he stopped at the bottom as she stood in front of her. she smiled and rested his hands on his shoulders. his arms wrapped around her body and pulled her in close and kissed her.
“ Never make me do that again” she breaths as she looks at him.
“ Never” he agrees, then picks her up and takes her over to the boats work bench and places her down. he leans over her.
“ Your all mine” he whispers then kisses her again.

*Caught On Tape*
“ Kate drove home after the big couple of days. they were both tired and fed up with dealing with the wife and best friend.
they made their way inside and headed straight for bed as they haven’t had any sleep in days.
they were getting into bed when Kate asked.
“ So what do you think about single women going out with their married friends?”
Gibbs was surprised by her question and didn’t know what to say.
“ Well, I have never” he started.
“ Its just Tony actually made a point”
“ And what point would that be?”
“ That every time I went out it would be my male friends that would ask me to tag alone with their wives and that secretly they wanted to have sex with me”. Gibbs could not believe what she had just said, but he had to agree with Tony.
“ I don’t blame them” he said with a grin.
“ You agree with Tony don’t you” she said annoyed. He looked at her and laughed.
“ All I’m saying is that you think to much about everything” he leans over and kisses her.
“ Now go to sleep” he says then snuggles down under the blankets. Kate sighs and looks down at him.
“ Your right” she says then snuggles down under the blankets herself.
“ Just one question” she says again.
“ What?”
“ If one of your ex’s invited me to tag alone with you two, would you have wanted to have sex with me?”
“ Depends”
“ On What?”
“ Which ex it was” he said seriously. She laughed.
“ The last one” she finally said. The room was silent. he rolled over on his side and looked at her.
“ Then of course I would of” he said then kissed her.
“ Now can we go to sleep” he pleaded.
“ Yep” she said with a smile then kissed him. Gibbs got comfortable and Kate and snuggled up against him and they both feel asleep.

*Bikini Wax*
Kate sat in the car as they had stopped at a red light. she looks out the window in wonder. she just couldn’t believe how someone could kill their best friend just because she was having her fiancés baby.
‘ Yeah I would be pissed but I couldn’t kill her’ she thought.
“You ok?” Gibbs asks as he takes off.
“ Yeah, I’m fine” she replies with a smile. He smiles at her then looks back at the road.
“ Would you have killed her? I mean she could of confronted her” Kate says out of the blue.
“ I would of killed the fiancé” he said seriously.
“ So if lets say I was cheating on you with your best friend and I got pregnant to him you would rather kill me then him”. He looked at her with suspicions.
“ If it was you…I would kill you him” he told her. She smiled at him.
“ No there is no one else” she said as she saw his expression.
“ So what would you do if I was…you know” he said. she looked at him then back out the window. She has never had a thought of him cheating on her and to actually think about it was disturbing.
“ Well if I was sure you were I would tell you that I know and tell her to leave us alone or I will arrest her” she said still looking out the window.
“ So knowing that I had slept with your best friend and she was pregnant with my kid you would be so calm and collected you wouldn’t even hit her…or me?” he said looking at her waiting for her reaction.
“ Ok I would hit her but I would stop myself before I killed her” she said looking at him. he smiled at her. She was waiting for him to tell her he wasn’t cheating on her but he didn’t say anything.
They pulled up the drive way and he got out and opened the font door. Kate slowly followed him still waiting for him to tell her. She closed the door behind her and he was in the bedroom getting changed. He walked out and saw waiting for him.
“ What?” he asked.
“ Tell me that you are cheating on me”
“ Kate”
“ Tell me” she urged him. he smiled and walked over to her. He grabbed her with both arms.
“ How could I possibly cheat on someone like you. Your all that I want” he said then kissed her. she pulled back and smiled.
“ Your all that I want to” she said then kissed him back.

*Conspiracy Theory*
Tony, Kate and Gibbs sit at their desks in silence. The silence was broken by the beep of Kate’s messenger. She opened the message which happened to be the Wet T-Shirt hall of fame picture that Tony got last week when he went to Panama City.
‘ NCIS Agent of the Month’ he had written on the top of it. she smiled at him and sent him a reply.
A picture of him dressed in cowboy gear next to another macho cowboy popped up on his screen.
He finally gives in and they agree to delete the pictures on the count of 3.
They both hit the delete button at the same time. They both relaxed until they heard the beeps coming from Gibbs’ computer.
Tony and Kate both thought the safest bet was to run away.
“ Night Gibbs” they both said before running out of the bullpen.
Gibbs looked up and didn’t get a chance to say anything. He looked at the computer screen and clicked on his messages. Kate’s was the first to pop up then Tony’s. He couldn’t believe his eyes. All he could do was laugh and stare. He shut down his computer and headed home. He had to ask KTE about that photo ASAP.
He walked through the door and found her reading the paper in the kitchen. he put his gear down and made his way over to the kitchen. he stood in front of. She couldn’t look at him.
“ Would you care to explain the photos I just saw of you and the origin of the one of Tony” he asked trying not to laugh.
“ No not really” she said bluntly still not looking at him.
“ Ok I will ask again. Tell me” he said stepping closer to her. She sighed and put the paper down.
“ Fine. The picture was taken when I was in collage. Me and a couple of friends thought it would be fun to go to Panama City for spring break. We drank to much and all went in the competition and as you saw you know who won” she explained.
“ Ok and Tony’s?” he said trying so hard not to cack a smile. She started to laugh as she thought it was hilarious.
“ Its not real. I got Abby to photo shop his head onto that gay cowboy”
“ Why?”
“ Because he found my photo last week and threatened to show it to everyone. I had no choice but to play dirty , and it worked. Well relatively” she said with a smirk.
“ So you weren’t going to show that photo to me?” he asked stepping even closer to her.
“ No. Well I’m not exactly proud of it” she said.
“ Why not? I am” he said softly, cheeky grin appearing on his face.
“ Gibbs” she said but he had taken her lips with his before she could finish her sentence. His hands started to take her clothes off and so did hers. They finally found their way into the bedroom and spent the night making some noise.
