^^^ Melly, Melly, I'm not giving it all away, cause Gibbs will tell how far Jordan is as we continue the story.
But at the beginning it was:
Mac & Stella -> Stella 4 mnths pregnant.
Gibbs & Jordan -> Jordan a little over 7 mnths pregnant.
On with the story?
___________________________________________
After they had gotten to the Navy Yard Jordan showed Mac and Stella around. She knew it wasn’t as high tech as Mac’s lab back in New York, but she and Abby always did get the forensic works done. When they walked in to Abby’s lab they were welcomed by loud music.
Mac had his fingers in his ears. “Never knew we brought Adam along, Stell.” He almost shouted.
“Ow, Mac and Adam’s our favourite.” Stella joked. “And you left him at home? Shame on you, Taylor.” She shouted back.
“Abby!” Jordan yelled. When she got no response Jordan walked over to the stereo and turned off the music.
Abby looked up. “Who the hell…? Ooohhh… Jordan.” Abby ran towards her for a big hug. “Happy birthday, Jordan.”
‘Sorry Abbs.’ Jordan signed. ‘Don’t wanna wake these two up.’ Jordan giggled as she pointed at her belly.
Abby bent down to Jordan’s belly. “I’m sorry”. She whispered soft. “How are my girls doing?” Abby asked.
“Who says they’re girls?” Jordan gave a glare that Gibbs rubbed off on her.
“Right.” Abby giggled. “Hi Mac, Hi Stella. Welcome to Labby’s.” She rattled. “Oh my… the little MacBell is growing as well.” Abby grinned at Stella, causing Mac to frown. “How’s the head doing, Mac?” Abby added innocently.
“It’s fine Abby.” Mac assured her feeling a little bit uneasy, causing Stella to turn away and hide her grin.
“Abbs, have you seen Gibbs?” Jordan enquired.
“Nope, he won’t be here till I have some results Jordan, you know that.” She whined.
“I’m sorry if things have slowed down.” Jordan apologized. “But both Gibbs and Mac have pointed out to me to take it slow.” The machine beeped.
“Took you long enough to get that point. D’Angelo.” Gibbs walked getting her back for the way she answered her phone earlier. “And don’t apologize.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Jordan countered. “It’s a sign of weakness.”
Gibbs gave her a little peck on the cheek. “Never with you, Angel.” He said. “But you and I need to have a serious talk.” He glared at her.
“No elevator talks, Boss-man.” Abby interrupted. “Now, I need help here.” Abby said as she dragged Gibbs over to the lay-out table. “You took Jordan away from me… and before you start, you’re the one who told me to ask for help if I needed any.”
“Abby… Abbs.” Gibbs tried to calm her down. “Breath!” He ordered.
“You’re having problems with handling the evidence, Abby?” Mac enquired as he studied what she’d got.”
“Oh no you don’t, Taylor.” Stella warned. “You promised this would be a holiday.”
Mac felt guilty straight away. “I know, Gorgeous. I was just wondering if this agency can afford to fly Adam in.” Mac winked at Stella.
Abby’s ears didn’t defy on her. “Did you say Adam?” Abby dribbled over to Mac and surprised him with a big hug.
“I think that’s what Mac said.” Gibbs butted in. “And yes, NCIS can afford it. Now let the man go, Abbs. He’s got a family to take care off.” Gibbs smirked.
“Right! Abby tried to apoligize. “Thank you Mac.” She said and signed at the same time.
Mac quickly addressed Jordan for the meaning of her signs. Jordan signed what to say and Mac followed.
“Abbs, I think Mac and Stella would like to see autopsy next. Ducky is expecting you.” Gibbs told her. “I need to have a word with Jordan first.” He gave Jordan a dangerous look.
“Ok, my Hero.” Abby chirped. She stepped between Mac and Stella and led them to autopsy.
***
Mac, Stella and Abby found Ducky in autopsy leaning over the body they had found early this morning.
“Ah, well yes… you poor youngster…” Ducky was speaking to the victim. “It never amazes me how much damage three bullet shots can do. But don’t you worry my dear, I will take good care of you.” He took the liver out and laid it gently on the scale.
Mac frowned at Stella. “Told you the similarity with Sid is creepy.” She grinned.
Ducky turned at Stella’s voice. “Stella, my dear. You certainly look lovely today.” He charmed.
“Hello Ducky.” She greeted and gave him a small peck on his cheek to say thank you.
“You sure, you’re not Sid’s twin, Ducky?” Mac shook his hand.
“I’m certain that every one has a twin somewhere, Mac. But I can assure you, Sid is not my Doppelgänger.”
Abby laughed at Ducky’s comment. “I wonder if the little Gibblets will look exact the same.
“Speaking of which, where are the other parents to be?” Ducky patted Stella’s stomach.
“Probably having an elevator talk. Gibbs didn’t sound too happy with Jordan.” Abby sounded a little sad.
“Ah dear, well… We’d better finish the tour on ourselves then. Mr. Palmer!” Ducky called out. Jimmy walked in. “Could you please finish this up for me?”
“Certainly Doctor.” Palmer touched his nose to push his glasses closer to his eyes and went to work.
