A Pain Never Forgotten (NCIS) - Part Three

Chapter Twelve

"Mum! Mum! Mum!" TJ called.

Kelly jumped up, and ran straight into his room checking it all to make sure no one was there, she was paranoid!

"What pumpkin?" She smiled.

"TJ awake" he giggled.

"Yeah I can see that" Kelly muttered sleepily still tired from her two day nightmare. She took him into the kitchen and sat him in his chair she glanced at the clock as she started to cut up some fruit for them to eat. 5.30 am Great! They sat in the kitchen as they shared the apples and orange segments. Kelly was so proud of TJ. He was the best thing she had ever done.

TJ continued babbling to himself. "Where Daddy?" TJ asked.

Kelly was saddened by the question but told the truth. "He's with Uncle Tim, because he's been naughty. Shall we go see them?"

TJ clapped and nodded even though Kelly was unsure if he had even fully understood the question. He was so big now, and was developing so rapidly. By the time they were fed, washed and dressed it was 6.30. That would be classed as early for some but she knew McGee would be awake, he usually got to the office at 7.15.

She knocked on the door holding a rather excited TJ. McGee came to the door already dressed and smiled at the pair. He grabbed TJ and hugged him as they wandered of in to the kitchen. Kelly made her way into McGee's living room to see a sad looking Tony folding up the blanket he'd used the night before. She sat next to him and held him tight.

"I'm so sorry Kelly"

"I know, but I really don't want to forgive you for what you said! It was awful!"

"I really am sorry. It was a stupid mistake. I didn't mean it. I'll never do anything like this again"

"We need to talk" Kelly started, by Tony grabbed her hand in panic.

"You can't leave me, you make me who I am and TJ I can't lose him"

Kelly smiled, she knew how much she meant to Tony. "No, it's not that"

"Okay, Well what is it?" Tony asked.

"Just hear me out then" she started "After yesterday, I had to take a blood test, Abby got the results and I was fine but she said I was pregnant. Only she knows"

Tony's face was that of shock but nothing like when she had told him about TJ. "Erm ... Erm okay. What shall we do?" Thank god! A 'we' not a 'you' He had changed!

"The right thing, Abby said I should go to the hospital after the cuts"

"What cuts?" He asked confused.

"A long story. When they had me, they cut my stomach calling me weak, but I'm fine, I just want to know if it's had any effect" Kelly said.

"Let's go now, I don't want to wait any longer, you should of gone as soon as you found out" Tony scolded.

"I had to find you" she smiled

He smiled back and kissed her lips softly "That's not a good enough reason" he laughed.

"Daddy!" TJ called as he came walking into the living room McGee holding one hand and some blueberry pancake in the other.

As Tony was playing with TJ Kelly explained to McGee that her and Tony had somewhere to go but that they would take TJ with them.

"Just tell my dad Tony won't be there this morning, but he'll be back this afternoon"

McGee sighed "Can't you call him, he's your dad!"

"Stop being silly, he's a teddy bear on the inside" she giggled.

McGee reluctantly agreed to the plan and they both set off in their cars in their separate ways.

Kelly reached the hospital and explained the situation to the nurse, they considered it to be a high risk case so they booked an appointment for her straight away. Kelly lay on the hospital bed waiting for the nurse to arrive she pulled up her shirt to reveal her stomach Tony gasped from his chair where he sat bouncing TJ on his knee.

"I'm so sorry, I should of been there"

"Forget it" Kelly snapped back.

The nurse came into the office she smiled at them all but then her eyes shot down to Kelly's stomach and she winced.

"I'm so sorry for what happened" she said apologetically.

"It's not so bad, and it's due to heal well" Kelly smiled.

"Tell me at anytime if the scan is hurting the cuts or stitches"

"Okay"

The nurse placed the gel on her stomach and spread it around, it was a little painful but she didn't want the nurse to stop she just wanted to know what was happening. As she was searching around Kelly's stomach she turned to TJ and smiled.

"He's lovely" she beamed. "He's your double" she laughed pointing at Tony. Kelly looked at them both and couldn't believe her luck. She turned back to the screen and continued to search. Kelly was starting to panic.

"So you didn't know you was pregnant?" the nurse asked.

"No, I'd still had periods and stuff so I didn't expect to be that far gone. I'm just worried because I don't smoke or anything but I may have had wine and alcohol. So I'm scared i've caused harm".

"So there was no harm to the baby, but it's a good job you came in, but the news is you are further along then you think" she smiled.

"How far?" Kelly asked.

"Over 4 months" she smiled

"What!" Kelly and Tony called in unison.

"Did you have a big bump with your son?" The nurse inquired.

""Not at first, I had nothing for like six months. It seemed to swell all of sudden near the end, to the point where it was really big and painful"

"Yeah that happens to some women" she smiled. "We can't all be the same, I assume that's what will happen with this one" she turned the screen so Kelly and Tony could see the outline of their baby. Even though this was their second child this was the first time they had experienced this together. Tony grabbed Kelly's hand.

"I can even tell you the sex of the baby if you want" the nurse smiled.

Kelly didn't even look at Tony "Yes!" They both said at the same time.

Kelly turned to Tony and smiled. "I never found out with TJ, so I think we should this time"

"That's fine by me" he grinned. They both turned back to look at the nurse.

"Okay ... It's a girl!"
