Kate dragged herself through the threshold of her front door

a/N: the rating is for later chapters.

Kate dragged herself through the threshold of her front door. It had been a long, tiring day. She had barely dropped her bags when she was attacked by two small arms wrapping around her right leg.

"Mummy!" The owner of the small limbs exclaimed as Kate picked him up. "Where were you?"

" I was at work Pumpkin." Kate answered.

"Why wasn't Daddy at work then?" The small boy questioned.

"Because Daddy's lucky and he got off early. Speaking of your father, where is he and why hasn't he put you to bed?"

"I'm right here." A male voice answered from the kitchen. "And Tyler refused to sleep till Mummy came home."

"Tyler." Kate scolded, "I'm home now, so you can go to bed." Kate put him down and followed him into the small room.

"Next time you go to bed when Daddy tells you, okay? Mummy will sneak in whenever she gets home and give you a goodnight kiss."

"Okay Mummy, goodnight."

"Goodnight Pumpkin." She kissed his forehead and walked out of the 4-year-old's room, leaving the door ajar.

She plopped onto the couch and looked at the time; it was almost 9:30.

"So how was your evening?" He husband asked sitting down next to her, pulling her into his chest.

"ARGH! Where do I start Tony?" She said as Tony gently started to massage her shoulders. "We had to chase the suspect and tackle him. Then he pulled a gun on use and Gibbs shot him, and the bastard still tried to get a few rounds off while limping away! How did you get out of it anyway?"

"Still had paper work from the last case and Gibbs wouldn't let me go into the field till it was done. I finished around 6, picked up Ty, and got home around 6:30."

"That's so unfair!" Tony shrugged and Kate when to stand up.

"Where do you think you're going?" Tony asked holding her wrist.

"Bathroom and bed." Kate answered simply, walking towards their room.

-Later that Night in Bed-

"Do you think we should ever tell Gibbs?" Kate questioned. No one knew they were married, let alone had a child.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him."

"Or us." Kate mentioned before sliding tighter against Tony and falling asleep.

A/N: The first chapter is kinda short, but next chapter is where the story really starts. So if you're interested in finding out the rest let me know. I have chapters 2-4 already written and I just have to type them up. Depending on the response I get, I'll post them sooner or later.
