Chapter 24: Interlude: McGee & Abby
Abby woke up on Saturday morning to discover that her head was somehow rested on McGee’s chest. She had managed to snuggle up to him during the night.
She smirked. It had been cold last night.
Abby watched McGee sleep for a little while longer, before getting up. She put on her silk robe and walked down the hallway to the kitchen. She had to bite her lip to keep herself from wincing; the wooden floor was extremely cold, and she wasn’t wearing any slippers or anything.
She had just about finished making breakfast (omelettes), when she felt McGee’s arms wrap around her waist.
“Good morning handsome.” She smirked, turning around to face him. “Sleep well?”
He raised an eyebrow. “I don’t know if I got any sleep last night.”
Abby giggled. “Tim! Didn’t you like your birthday present?” McGee turned red. Abby just smiled. “Anyway. I made you omelettes. Go and sit down.”
McGee sat down at the table, and Abby came over with their plates. She sat down opposite him, and for a while the two just looked at each other.
Abby tilted her head to the side. “You speak first, Tim.”
McGee put down his fork. “I’ve been thinking…”
“So have I…”
McGee held out his hand, and Abby took it. “Abby, I think we should move in together.”
Abby stared at him for a moment, unable to speak. Then she beamed at him. “I think that’s a very good idea, Tim.” She paused for a moment. “But… who would move in with who?”
McGee thought quickly. It would be very cramped if Abby moved in… with all his computer equipment. And if he moved into Abby’s, he’d have to move everything.
“We could get a bigger apartment.”
Abby grinned. “I like the way you think, Tim. We should start looking today!”

After breakfast, Abby and McGee left Abby’s apartment and headed into town. They spoke to Abby’s real estate agent, who gave them some places to look at.
“Where do we want to live?” Abby said as they stood outside the first place. It was in the middle of the city, and very noisy. She frowned at McGee. He shrugged back at her.
“It’s close to work…?” Tim suggested, but Abby just let out a frustrated kind of moan and dragged him back to the car.
The second place they looked at was too far away from NCIS. Abby and McGee judged that it would take almost two hours to drive one way.
“Absolutely not!” Abby whined as they pulled up outside. “Too far away. Petrol costs too much these days. Even with two incomes, I don’t think it would be wise.”
“Agreed.” Tim nodded. They left for the third place.
The third place they went to was not in the main part of the city. It was just under an hour away from NCIS, and the area wasn’t too busy. Abby looked at McGee, and smiled.
“I like the look of this place.” She grinned.
“We’ve only seen the outside!” McGee protested, although he had to admit he liked it too.
“Yes, but if it doesn’t look appealing on the outside, then why pick it?” Abby challenged. She grinned. “But I can tell it appeals to you, Tim. I saw the look in your eye when we pulled up.”
“It is nice outside.” He agreed. “Much nicer than my apartment.”
“And mine. C’mon, let’s go check it out.”
The two got out of McGee’s car, and looked at the apartment. Abby walked on ahead, and McGee caught up with her outside the door. She knocked, and the door swung open.
McGee and Abby looked at the woman who stood there, smiling at them. “Hi. Abby and Tim, I take it? I’m Stephanie.” She looked familiar, but they couldn’t place it. “Well,” She laughed. “Don’t just stand there, come on in! Let me show you around.”
The two followed her in, and McGee shut the door behind him. Abby was looking around, her mouth open in surprise. “This is definitely a good apartment.” She said. “Why on earth would you want to give it up?”
“I’m moving to be with my mother,” Stephanie replied. “She’s getting old… and the city has too many memories… memories that I don’t want to remember.”
Abby’s heart went out to the red-haired woman. She had only known her for a minute, but there was a sort of sadness that showed in her eyes.
“Well, Tim,” She said, turning to McGee. “I think we had better take it. It’s a good location and it’s not too far away from work. That way, even if you sleep in you’ll still be able to get to work before Gibbs has your head!”
Behind her, Stephanie cleared her throat. “Excuse me. Did you just say Gibbs? As in, Jethro Gibbs?”
Abby turned around to nod at Stephanie, when realisation hit her. Red hair. Gorgeous. Sad. Abby gasped. “You’re that Stephanie? Gibbs’ ex-wife Stephanie? I remember you now!”
She nodded. “It’s been a long time.”
McGee stared at the two in amazement. They obviously knew each other from somewhere, and according to what Abby just said, he was one of Gibbs’ ex-wives.
Surprising.
