<br><br><a name="cutid1"></a><br><br>Tony's words cut through Gibbs like a knife to the gut. He slid down the door, his body curling in on itself while tears strolled down his pale cheeks.<br><br>Time stood still while Gibbs mourned his dreams. <br>
<br>Finally, tucking away his grief, he pulled himself up and walked stiffly across the room to the phone, dialing quickly before he could take the coward's way out and hang up. <br><br>"Dr Mallard." Ducky's familiar voice was a balm to his soul.<br>
<br>"Tony wants to abort the child. Can you find a surrogate?"<br><br>"Are you sure the two of you can't make this work, Jethro? You will be giving up.."<br><br>"I know what I am giving up." Gibbs closed his eyes quickly, trapping a fresh wave of tears. "I have forfeit him already in forcing this on him."<br>
<br>Ducky made some small clucking noises on his end, then said, "McGee has hinted that he might be willing to carry a child. Or young Palmer. He's quite eager, and since he's a breed, perhaps the better choice."<br>
<br>"Fine, whatever you decide." and listened to Ducky humming and haw-ing on his end. "Ducky, for Christ's sake. I don't want a mate. I lost my mate when he rejected my.... Just get me a surrogate. One who won't form any attachment, because God knows I can not do that again." <br>
<br>"Have you told Tony? He'll have to be moved immediately after the child is transferred. The hormones he'll be passing could have confusing effects on the imprinting you must do with ...Palmer, then?"<br>
<br>"Yes, yes, Palmer will be fine. How soon can you do the procedure?"<br><br>"The sooner the better. Be ready at, shall we say...2:30?" <br><br>Gibbs sighed, too drained to care. "Fine."<br>
<br>"Gibbs? Tell Tony what you are doing. He has the right to know."<br><br>Gibbs didn't answer. He was slowly sinking into an abyss of heartbreak. The act of simply hanging up the phone was almost more than he could handle. <br>
<br>Walking back across the room to the sofa, he flopped down, staring unseeingly into space. He remained like that, insulated from the world inside his head, until he could bring himself to terms with what he had to do.<br>
<br>Tony may not be able to forgive him, but at the very least he could give the man he loved what he wanted. The child gone. <br><br>He would not, would never, abort the child, but...<br><br>He jerked to his feet, going to the locked bathroom door. "Tony? Tony, listen to me. Ducky and Palmer are coming to see you." <br>
<br>"Go away, Gibbs."<br><br>"You said you wanted the child gone." Gibbs choked on the words, dashing away the fresh tears streaming down his face with an angry fist. "They are going to do that."<br>
<br>"Abortion?" Tony asked, his voice strangely quiet.<br><br>Gibbs couldn't answer, his throat to filled with the anguish flooding through his blood.<br><br>After a moment the door opened. <br><br>"Gibbs?"<br>
<br>Gibbs took a quick step backward, avoiding Tony's outstretched hand. "No. Do not touch me right now. This is hard enou..." Drawing a deep breath, he shook his head. "Tony, I..." He turned, walking to the window to stare out. "When Ducky arrives, he will take you and Palmer to our be..the bedroom. It is not a painful procedure, you don't have to worry about that. He will ask you to strip. It is necessary. There is a...dimple, behind your balls. He will need to ..." He drew another deep breath. "..to stimulate that area. Manipulated properly the birthing sac will release. The child will pass from your body as if he were never there."<br>
<br>"And I suppose you expect we'll just go back to the way we were before you..."<br><br>"No. No, Tony. That will not be possible." He turned, his misery screaming from his eyes. "When the child passes, the birth sac will be placed inside Palmer."<br>
<br>"Palmer...?"<br><br>"He will carry the child to term. He is a breed, born of a human but inseminated by one of my kind. You don't need to worry about your contribution to the child. My species carries the dominant gene. By the time the child is birthed, your gene pattern will be pretty much eliminated...a trace, maybe, but not enough to ...matter."<br>
<br>"And what about us?"<br><br>A spasm of grief twisted Gibbs face. "Done."<br><br>"What?"<br><br>"When the child passes from your body someone will guide you to the housing being prepared for you now. You may take your things when you leave, or I can have them sent later. This will be our last contact of any sort."<br>
<br>"And I don't have any say in any of this?"<br><br>"I am in the mating time of life. I must mate and produce children every two years until I pass this phase of life. It is the way of my species. Not choice, but instinct." Gibbs sighed tiredly. "When the baby is passed, go. Do not try to contact me, this is too difficult as it is."<br>
<br>Gibbs looked at Tony then and the younger man could see his lover's soul dying in his eyes. <br><br>"Ducky will be here in a few moments." Gibbs headed for the door.<br><br>"I thought you said we couldn't leave." Tony called after him. <br>
<br>Gibbs turned back to his lover, his gaze lingering before they closed on his anguish. "I can not be here, Tony. Not for this. Not loving you as..." He shook his head and wrenched open the door. "Just...be happy, Tony. Be happy for both of us."<br>
<br>Tony didn't hear the door close, leaving him alone with his thoughts. His heart was screaming too loudly in his ears.<br><br>end this chapter<br><br>"Ten Minutes" list, I choose to do a chapter of this instead of one of the prompts today...might still go back and d something wth at least one prompt yet tonight, though...no promises<br clear="all">
