Love these three together... excellent chapter.

Really loved how you showed how both men understood Abby and how something like her trust being abused would impact her... really like the idea of the church being her basement, and that they were both protective of her without crowding her.

And I LOVED this thought from Gibbs - Unlike in past relationships, Gibbs never spent a night awake wondering if they truly loved him. It shows how far he's come in trusting and believing how much he's loved.

And then holy hotness...

Love the new chapter! Abby walking in on Gibbs and Tony cracked me up...but damn things got hot! Before and after Abby got home.

Also loved how Gibbs knew Abby would be at the church and he just let her be to work through the situation. You've really nailed the understanding that all three of them have of each other...what they need and when they need it.

I always look forward to a new chapter of this, so I can't wait to see where you take them next :-)

Haha yes always lock the doors.

That should be rule #1 or something.

I am excited about the episode, but sad it the last new one till FALL!

and I bet they will lock the door from now on!

Loved Abby walking in on her men.
Me too can't wait to see the season finale. Hoping not to be left with a cliff hanger but knowing the writers they will.

Birthday snuggles from Gibbs and Tony! Sign me up.

Aw Abby! Really now, really!

But birthday snuggles make up for everything.

Somehow not a surprise that Abb's would miss her own party in an effort to help someone else. Nice chapter.

loved the almost suprise birthday party and a blue eyed jealously was cute

Wonderful! I'm intrigued about the cold case now...

Loved this update - I particularly liked how you've addressed the issues you brought up recently... the worry that Abby had that Gibbs just wanted Tony, and Tony's worry about her reaction when they'd pushed her away, even if it was for a good reason. Love that they are starting to be open and honest with one another when they have these worries... and seeing their fears are groundless. And gotta love jealous Gibbs... and I loved the way you dealt with his worry over Tony's possible inheritance.

SO Abby that she would get caught up in work and then blame herself for spoiling the evening... and excuse me while I drift off at the thought of birthday snuggles with the two boys...

Yay for a new chapter! :-) And I gotta say I love jealous and slightly insecure Gibbs just as much as Tony...he tries so hard to hide things but the people who know him pick up on his emotions by what he doesn't say just as much as what he does say...if that makes sense :p

Thought the whole birthday party thing was in character too, just like Abby to not realize what's going on cos she's so absorbed in work, but I'm glad her mind is at rest about Gibbs and Tony asking her to come over the night they planned it all. And she would feel like she ruined it too.

Awesome chapter...and someone had to bring up bedtime snuggles, how did I know it would be Tony LOL Can't wait for the next chapter :-) And I can imagine you are happy dancing about your trip, I wouldn't blame you either!

Aww! That was cute!

Lovely update. I do love the way you give background to each episode with their relationship. That must have been a really hard case for Gibbs. So much past...
