Author's Notes: This is an AU, inspired in part by
wiccagirl24’s wonderful Kelly!verse. In this ‘verse Emily Fornell is actually Emily Gibbs.
Gibbs stepped out of the elevator and watched as Abby moved around her lap for a few minutes. She was moving slow than her typical hyper speed; he wondered if it was pain from the confrontation with Charles or the pain of nearly sending one of her best friends to prison with her forensic evidence. When she sunk into the swivel chair at her computer, he stepped closer to the glass doors making them open so that he could move behind her. His hands automatically found her shoulders and began to slowly massage them.
She leaned against the back of her chair and let her head fall back against his chest, “That feels good, Gibbs.”
“Mmm,” he hummed against the top of her head as he kissed her crown. “You’re even tenser now than you were earlier.”
“You try relaxing after you have to defend yourself from your own assistant. I didn’t totally trust Chip, but I didn’t expect him to come after me with a knife either.”
In two swift moves, he had turned the chair around and pulled her out of it into his arms, “I am so sorry, Abs. I promised to keep you safe and I let you down. If something had happened…”
Her hand clamped over his mouth as she pushed him into the seat and curled up in his lap, “Nothing happened, Gibbs. I’m here; I’m safe. And I’m safe because of the self defense techniques that you taught me. You would have gotten here in time. I just got the drop on you this time.” She kissed the corner of his mouth.
His hand cupped her neck and his thumb caressed her jaw. Their eyes met slowly as he turned her head just a fraction. Her eyes flicked quickly to his lips and back up to his eyes; she knew what he wanted and leaned into him, offering her lips. The kiss was merely the pressure of soft lips against soft lips. However, when they pulled apart that first contact was enough to create a demand within them for more. Their lips crashed back together, desperate and longing. Without breaking the kiss, Abby moved so she was straddling his lap. As hands started roaming, Gibbs pulled back and broke the kiss.
He rested his forehead against hers, “Abs, the security cameras.”
“Bet you don’t have cameras at home,” she smiled at him, devilishly.
“Nope,” he gave a small squeeze to her rear. “Go get your coat, we’ll go get dinner.”
She slid off his lap, her hand slowly trailing down his body. After way into her office, she turned a strange look on her face, “What about Em?”
“Tobias is taking her to dinner. She’ll probably stay at his place tonight. Not that I think she’d really mind seeing you at breakfast, I know I wouldn’t,” Gibbs smiled at her.
She returned the smile.

The first thing she noticed as she slowly came to consciousness was that the sheets smiled like sawdust. She’s awoken in Gibbs bed before, but this was the first time she awoken naked and pleasantly sore. Her hand reached out and came into contact with the solid presence of Gibbs’ chest. She popped open one eye and through a curtain of hair she saw Gibbs propped up on his elbow watching her.
His hand pushed back her hand and trailed down her back, “Morning.”
“Morning,” she rolled on her side to look at him better. “We aren’t going to pretend that this is the awkward morning after or a one time thing are we?”
“I don’t think so,” he bent to kiss her.
Her arms snaked around his neck and pulled him closer. When the kiss broke, Abby sighed, “I guess we couldn’t call in sick today.”
“Nope,” he kissed her forehead and rolled away from her. Getting out of bed, he pulled on his boxers and t-shirt, “Better get dressed, Abs. Tobias will be dropping Em off to pick up her books and grab the bus soon.”
She sat up in the bed, “Want me out of here before then?”
He kissed her as he rounded to bed to leave the room, “Not necessary, since if I have it my way, you’ll be back for dinner tonight.”
“I like the way you think, Gibbs,” she slipped out bed and headed for his chest drawers for a pair of boxers and t-shirt.

Abby and Gibbs were sitting, Abby’s feet up in Gibb’s lap, at the kitchen table when Emily and Tobias let themselves in the front door. Even ten-year-old Emily knew what had happened the moment she saw them. Her squeal of joy could rival any of Abby’s as she threw herself into Abby’s arms.
Before she could ask any embarrassing questions, Gibbs patted her rear, “You need to go get your backpack before the bus gets here. You can talk to Abby tonight at dinner.”
Emily smirked at her father, “Okay.” She headed for the stairs, but quickly turned around to kiss Gibbs’ cheek and hug Tobias.
“Go ahead, I know you’re dying to say something,” Gibbs looked up at his old friend.
Tobias shook his head, “I could think of a nicer guy it could happen to, but I’m happy for you both.”
“Oh, Tobias,” Abby jumped up and hugged him. “You were so right.”
He returned the hug.
