After Orli Abby is the next to visit about a week later. She came in earlier today (Friday) and is staying for the weekend.
Tali was ecstatic this morning when she found out Abby was coming but now as she gets off the bus once again she looks miserable. Almost every day we go through this and Tony and I are considering going to her school about it.
We keep waiting for Tali to come to us and tell us what's wrong but she is too stubborn.
When Tali and I get to the apartment Abby is there waiting with open arms. But even that's not enough to cheer Tali up and once again she sulks off to her room.
Abby looks disappointed for a second but barely misses a beat before running up to me a hugging me.
"I knew you weren't dead. I just knew it." She tells me instantly and then let's go of me and looks me in the eyes. "I knew it in my Gibbs gut. Or I guess my Abby's gut." She blurts out.
"It's good to see you too." I say slightly cutting her off with a smile.
Then she punches me in the shoulder. Hard. I mean not like Mossad hard but harder than I would have expected from Abby.
"What were you thinking leaving us all worried like that? Leaving Tony and Tali?" She starts and I let her go on without saying anything. "I mean I know you were trying to protect your family. And that there were some really dangerous people after you." She says calming down.
"But you could have gone to Gibbs. Gibbs would have helped you." She says angry again. "Although you probably just wanted to keep him and everyone else at NCIS safe."
She tilts her head and gives me a serious look.
"In retrospect it's starting to make a lot more sense." She says and then does a satisfied nod like she has made up her mind.
She gives me another but not as long hug. Then she looks me dead in the eyes.
"I forgive you. But you have to promise that it will never ever happen again."
"I promise." I tell her and this is definitely a promise I intend on keeping.
She makes me pinky promise.
"So what should we do first?" Tony asks Abby
"We? We are doing nothing." Abby tells us with a grin and Tony and I exchange confused glances. "I am staying here with Tali and you two are going out."
Out of the corner of my eye I see a slightly shocked expression on Tony and I'm sure I have the same look on my face.
"No. Abby that's ridiculous. You came all the way here from England to spend time with us." I remind her.
"And I will spend time with you guys. But tonight the two of you are going out and my niece and I are going to have some quality bonding time." She tells me with a look in her eye that tells me I am not going to win this one.
I shake my head with a small smile. Not that I'd ever admit it but I am glad Abby is making us do this. Kind of excited too.
After a few more minutes of random small talk I excuse my self to go get ready.
