Summary: He held with the same mixture of desperation and reverence that he had held her when they made love.
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.

She almost missed his hand darting towards the emergency switch, but she couldn’t have missed the familiar groan of the halting elevator car. In the dim half light, he turned to her. There was a look in his eye that could have made her cry had she watched him for too long. He moved towards her, a mumbled apology dropping from his lips, and suddenly she was caught in his arms. He held with the same mixture of desperation and reverence that he had held her when they made love.

It had been months since she had been held like that. Actually, it had been seven months and five days. Seven months and five days, since they last made love. Seven months and five days, since she felt comfortable and safe and adored in anyone’s arms.

She melted into him, praying that they could stay like that forever, but all too soon he pulled away and restarted the elevator. Within moments, he had an arm around her waist guiding her into autopsy while calling out for Ducky. He stayed barely long enough to explain that the vehicle had tried to kill her before he was gone. Ducky’s arms wrapping about her did little to elevate the feeling of lost that she experienced since Gibbs’ arms left her.

She let herself into the house knowing that Gibbs and Emily would be working on the boat. Since Gibbs’ sojourn to Mexico, it was the boat and stories Gibbs shared about Kelly that had reunited and restored father and daughter. For just a moment she stood listening to Gibbs’ laughter as Emily told a story from her day. She missed these sounds, these moments nearly as much or perhaps more than she missed Gibbs’ arms. She licked her lips lightly in nervous preparation.

The sound of her footfalls stopped their chatter and cause Gibbs to move protectively, as always, in front of Emily. He smiled when he saw that it was her. Before he could even speak a greeting, she was across the room and in his arms. Her lips met his in a demanding yet tender kiss. She felt herself being lifted off her feet as he responded to the kiss. Seven months apart was enough to cause them to respond to each other a little more passionately than they normally would have in front of Emily. The kiss tapered off to a few small pecks before ending in an embrace.

“Well, thank god,” Emily sighed dramatically. “Maybe things can get back to normal around here. I’m going to my room… for the rest of the night. I’ll see you at breakfast, Aunt Abby.” Two quick hugs and kisses and she was racing up the stairs.

Abby sighed happily as Gibbs' arms wrapped around her again.

Hope this works for you, citymusings!!
