First up: What if Gibbs went to see the bodies? For this one, Gibbs wasn't injured that badly & didn't go into a 19 day coma.
Jack sat on the lounge, he was still trying to come to terms with the fact that he'd never see those girls again, it just kept breaking his heart. He looked over to Joanne who was doing her best to hold it together as she made some tea, their lives certainly would never be the same again.
Jack wondered where is son had got to, he'd been back stateside 2 days & hadn't spoken a full sentence yet, he was obviously too pained to speak. He'd taken himself off a few hours ago, only saying he was going 'out'. He was trying to steel himself for the trip back to DC, where they were planning on burying the girls, when he saw a car pull up, his son had not so much as hopped out but launched himself out of the car, he looked furious & that NIS agent Mike Franks was with him, what was going on he wondered?
Jack didn't have time to even ask what was wrong before his son barked.
"Where is he?" Gibbs demanded coming into the house, he was beyond furious, he'd rip the man's head off!
"Where's who son?" Jack asked cautiously.
Gibbs ignored his dad & went directly to Joanne "Where is he? Where the fuck is Mac?"
Joanne was more than taken aback by her son-in-law's tone "Why? What's this about Jethro?"
"Answer the question Joanne, where the hell is he?" Gibbs repeated, he didn't have time for this!
"He said he needed to clear his head, he's taken himself off to the farmhouse in Borrego Springs for the night, before we go back to DC, what is going on!?" Joanne finished in a huff, if her husband wanted some space, he had the right, they were all struggling.
"He lied to you! To me! He's kidnapped them!" Gibbs replied in a bark right in her face before he continued in a deathly voice "So help me Joanne, if you knew" Gibbs wasn't sure what he'd do..
"Leroy, you're not making any sense, what do mean Mac lied & kidnapped them, who?" Jack asked, he'd never seen his son so angry.
"My family!" Gibbs answered in a yell.
Jack looked utterly stunned, as did Joanne.
"That isn't funny Jethro" Joanne replied, what on earth was he talking about? Her girls were gone, why was he saying all of this.
"You're right ma'am, it isn't funny, it's a seriously offence kidnaping & he will have the book thrown at him, along with whoever else knew or was involved" Franks said, he could see the Gunny was about to loose it & it wasn't going to be pretty.
"Why would you think MacDonald kidnapped them?" Joanne asked, her husband might not like Jethro completely, but he would never do this!
"He was the one that identified the bodies" Franks said, it wasn't a question, simply a statement.
"Yes" Joanne answered, she hadn't had the strength to do it.
"He identified the wrong people" Franks answered.
"What do you mean?" Jack asked, he was more than confused.
Gibbs took a deep breath "He identified people as being them, but it's not them!"
"Jethro, honestly, I think Mac knows what our girls look like" Joanne replied.
"I saw them! Those two people are NOT Shannon or Kelly!" Gibbs barked.
"I thought you weren't going to see their bodies?" Joanne asked.
"Changed my mind, you know it wasn't just Mac who tried to talk me into not seeing them, did you know?" Gibbs demanded to her face.
"I just didn't want you to go through more pain in seeing them. How can you even ask me that! You think I would do something like this, but….. are you sure?" Joanne finished in a whisper.
Gibbs looked incensed "I think I know my wife & daughter well enough to tell it wasn't them! That birthmark Shannon has on her left ankle, the women didn't have it. The lady's ear's weren't pierced, Shannon's are! The girl that was supposed to be Kelly has a birthmark on her right shoulder, Kelly doesn't have one, the girls ear drums are also perfect, don't you remember she got that infection, the Doctors said it would leave permanent scaring! But besides all of that, all I had to do was look at them, those 2 people aren't my family!"
Joanne felt mortified, she should have gone to see the bodies herself "Maybe it wasn't Mac" she whispered, but somehow even she knew that it was.
"He was the one that identified the bodies! He was the one that said dental comparisons wouldn't be necessary, because it was them!" Gibbs barked, he was beyond furious.
"Leroy" Jack said as calmly as possible, he was beyond angry that he actually felt ill, how dare that man do what he's supposedly done, he'd ring his neck for putting his son & family through hell.
Gibbs looked at his dad.
"I think we've wasted enough time, let's go get those girls" Jack said confidently.
"Mr Gibbs, as I've already said to your son NIS will handle this" Franks stepped forward, his partner was putting together a detail as they spoke.
"Mr Franks, if you think I will stand by while you go to retrieve my daughter in law & granddaughter from that bastard, you are sadly mistaken" Jack replied sternly & continued "and good luck keeping my son away, I doubt the devil could keep him away"
"Mr Gibbs we are trained for this kind of thing & your son is still slightly injured. I assure you we will get them back safe & sound" Franks replied, damn these Gibbs men were stubborn.
"You will forgive me, but trusting someone with my family's safety isn't something I can do at the moment. I will not allow you go without me, you'll have to shoot me!" Jack replied, looking Franks squarely in the eyes "and my son is recovered enough to manage, that I have no doubt about, he knows how to take care of himself & I will have his back"
Gibbs couldn't help but feel gratitude towards his dad, hearing how protective he was, was comforting really & backing him up that he was ok, was good too. Yea, he was still injured, but as his dad said, not even the devil could keep him away. He just looked Franks in the eye "I'm fine, we're coming"
Franks could tell he wasn't going to win "Then lets go, the place is a good 90 minute drive"
Gibbs nodded, but he dashed upstairs coming down not 3 minutes later with not only his sniper rifle & gear, but his backup rifle & extra ammunition, which he passed to his dad.
Franks raised an eyebrow as the two men prepped their weapons, he knew full well he wouldn't have a chance in hell to relieve them of them, so he just headed out.
"Jethro" Joanne whispered.
Gibbs turned, he still wasn't convinced she wasn't involved.
"I assure you, I had no idea, I would never want to put you though something like this, just please get them back" Joanne said through her tears, she couldn't believe what was happening.
Gibbs looked at his dad, was she telling the truth?
"I believe her Jethro, you can't fake the kind of remorse & pain she's been going through" Jack said to his son, he turned to Joanne "we'll get them back Joanne, maybe keep yourself busy, start packing, we'll go home straight away"
Joanne nodded, he was right, they would go home straight away & she'd divorce MacDonald straight away too! "Be careful, both of you"
Gibbs nodded as he & his dad headed out.
An hour later – Gibbs drove
3 cars pulled up on the side of the road, all agents hopped out. The drivers of the following cars shared a look – how many speed limits did we just break trying to keep up with this guy? They didn't care though, they needed to get here & fast.
"The entry is about 500 yards up the road, on the left" Agent Johns reported.
Gibbs took off straight away, with his dad right on his heels.
Franks & Johns shared a look as they followed, this was not going to happen by the book at all. Franks motioned for 2 agents to circle around each side of the property, he wanted all angles covered, they were walking in blind as it was, which wasn't good, the best he could was have all sides covered.
Gibbs approached the driveway but stopped, he saw cameras, he silently motioned everyone to stop & pointed them out, he saw a break in the fence they could climb through.
Franks went through first, once everyone was through they started making their way toward the main house.
Gibbs was struggling to keep himself composed, he had been completely shattered when his CO & Chaplin had told him about the deaths, he was then an idiot & got himself in trouble in the field, thankfully he wasn't injured too badly, the flight home was painful though, it was so long & all he could do was stew on how he should've taken that leave! How could he have left the safety of his family, his girls in the hands of someone else? His dad had picked him up from the airport, no words were exchanged, and he'd barely spoken to anyone. Though Mac had done a lot of talking, kept saying it would best to not go to see them & part of him agreed, that it would probably be easier to not see them on cold slabs, but all he could think about was thank heavens he changed his mind!
He had prepared himself as best as possible, but nothing compared with the feelings he had when he saw them, he knew instantly that it wasn't them, of course he had to double check things for the satisfaction of NIS, but once he'd convinced them that it wasn't them, they were on their way out of there, with one clear objective – find Mac!
Jack came closer to his son, talking softly "Jethro, we will get them back, I promise you. I want you though to try to calm down, you'll be no good to either of them so tightly strung. I know it's a challenge, but try to calm yourself son" Jack totally understood his son's feelings, he was extremely tightly strung, he was more than just angry, but he knew the calmer they could be, the better it would be.
Gibbs just nodded, his dad was right, but he stopped when Franks motioned everyone down to take a knee.
Jack's eyes widened instantly & saw his son's had done the same. The main house was still a distance away, but there was a barn closer & 2 people had just walked out of it, and not just any people, it was Mac & he had Kelly with him, they were clearly on their way back to the house, he was holding her hand too. The sudden fury Jack felt towards the man was overwhelming, he wanted to blow the man's head off & get his darling Kelly away from him.
Gibbs saw Kelly & tried to bolt to her, but Franks & Johns held him back silencing him. All Gibbs could do was watch them get closer to the house, but he saw Johns & another agent head around the other side of the barn, clearly trying to cover that side for when they approached.
Franks finally let Gibbs up, who started to run as silently as possible towards his girl, the sooner he got her away from him the better!
Gibbs came up to the side of the barn, checking windows as he went, he saw Johns on the other side nod that they were ready, his dad was even next to him nodding as well, he saw him get his rifle ready.
Gibbs took a few steps out from the cover of the barn, he saw that Mac didn't have any weapon on him, taking a deep breath he approached, he was a meter 100 yards behind them "Kelly!" he called.
Kelly had been walking with Mac back to the house, they had been collecting eggs, not that she wanted to, she didn't want to do anything, her daddy was gone & all she wanted to do was be with her mummy, but she wasn't well, so she had to let her sleep or so her grandfather said.
Kelly was thinking that it wasn't fair, why did her daddy have to die? Why? But she then heard her name called & turned, her eyes widened "Daddy!" she yanked her hand out of her grandfathers & ran as fast as she could to him screaming "Daddy!"
Gibbs couldn't help but smile as he ran to meet her, slinging his rifle onto his back he scooped her up "Love you my angel" he said over & over, as he hugged her tightly.
Kelly just clung to her daddy, she didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't care, her daddy was here & that's all that mattered.
Mac just stared in shock, how the hell did they figure this out? He'd planned it so well, how? He approached them, trying in vein to sound innocent "Looks like my information was wrong, you're alive Leroy, I'm glad"
Gibbs just glared at him as he kept hold of his girl, taking a few steps back too, he was about to say something but his dad beat him to it.
"MacDonald, it's no use, we know what you did, so unless you want me to use this (he said tapping the rifle that was aimed at him), which I would love to do right now, I'd shut up" Jack sneered.
Mac glared at Jack "I was merely just trying to keep my girls safe, no wonder your son's the way he is, when he's got you as a father"
"My girls!" Gibbs bit back "I'm here Kell baby" he whispered to Kelly, who he was still gripping for dear life.
Jack took a further step forward towards Mac, standing right in front of him "not your girls, my son's girls, but you're right, my son is like me, we have matching tempers"
Gibbs's eyes widened at what his dad did next, he decked Mac, this was a side of his dad he'd never seen.
Jack wasn't satisfied with one hit though & wanted to keep going, taking these girls away from his son, as well as the rest of the family, I don't think so! He kneed Mac's chest making sure he stayed down.
Franks could see Mac was about to become a punching bag & as much as he wanted let it happen he couldn't "MacDonald Fielding, you're under arrest, for kidnapping, false identification, interfering in an investigation & anything else we come up with, Johns get this piece of shit out of here before he becomes shark food"
"With pleasure boss" Johns replied, as he took Mac in cuffs away from the group.
Gibbs finally pulled Kelly back from his chest, he didn't really know what to say "I love you baby, I'm here now"
Kelly looked at her daddy, she was really confused & he had bruises "he said you died"
Gibbs flashed a look at his dad & Franks, none of the men could believe it "he made a mistake, I'm here Kell & I'm not going anywhere" he said kissing her forehead.
"promise?" Kelly asked, she really didn't want him to go anywhere ever again.
"I promise angel, I will never leave you again" Gibbs replied, he'd already decided that he'd ask for a compassionate discharge, he couldn't leave them again.
Kelly just nodded.
"You ok angel? Your head hurt? Your wrist ok?" Gibbs asked gently, she had a small bandage on the side of head & her wrist was bandaged.
Kelly nodded "Just a scratch" she said patting her head "mummy said my wrist is sprained"
Gibbs felt relieved "Where's mummy?" he asked.
"In the master bedroom, but daddy she's hurt! I told grandpa Mac she needed a hospital but he said no & brought a doctor in, you need to help her" Kelly said look at him.
Gibbs got concerned "I will angel, we'll take good care of mummy" he assured his girl, but now he needed to get to Shan quickly, especially if she's hurt.
"Kell, I'm going to get mum I want to you to stay with gramps, you don't leave his side, do you understand me?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes daddy" Kelly replied, finally looking at her grandfather.
Jack reached for her & was ever so glad that she did likewise, he took a strong hold of his granddaughter, who in turn wrapped herself around him "She'll be fine Jethro, I wont let go of her, go & get Shannon" he said rubbing Kelly's back.
Gibbs nodded, he kissed his angel one last time & headed for the house, he saw Franks was with him, but one of the agents had remained with his dad & daughter, he was thankful.
Franks took point, he saw that Daniels was wrapping around the side, he looked through the window, it looked clear. The trio entered the house, along with another agent who had just joined them. Franks was feeling uneasy, this was all too easy, there had to be something going on. He then saw 2 men appear on the other side of the entrance room, one was tall & solid, the other stocky.
"Can we help you?" One of the men asked.
"Special Agent Franks, NIS we're here to search the premises for a kidnapped victim" Franks stated.
"Kidnapped, no one here is kidnapped" the other man answered.
"You'll forgive us for not believing you, but we've just arrested your boss" Daniels replied.
"Boss?" the taller man asked.
"MacDonald Fielding, he kidnapped his daughter & granddaughter" Daniels answered.
Gibbs watched as the two men looked at each, he saw them instantly go for their weapons & took cover behind a table, the agents were returning fire, as he was.
"Get upstairs Gunny, we'll cover you" Franks said over the bullet fire.
Gibbs nodded, he waited for the right moment & dashed to the stairs, bolting up as fast as he could, he felt something graze over one of his legs, but he didn't stop.
Once he'd made it to the safety of the second floor & was clear of the bullets, he took stock of his leg, it had been grazed by a bullet, not a big deal, he just wrapped his handkerchief around it, he then proceeded to clear each room, he had a feeling the master room was at the end of the hall, but he had enough marine training to know you clear the rooms as you go or you could get stung, he heard the gunfire stopping & people yelling for ambulances, for others to stay down, he figured things had been handled.
All rooms being clear, he came to stop at the door of the last room the master bedroom he presumed. He didn't know what to expect her reaction to be, but he'd be damned if she'd have another minute of thinking he was dead, he turned the handle slowly & opened it.
As Gibbs took a step into the room he was met instantly with flying pillows, and not just one, she was obviously throwing everything she could get her hands on, and she had good aim, most were landing on his head or chest. He tried to speak, but was honestly shocked, he finally managed to speak "Shan!" but there was no let up to the barrage of things being hurtled at him, she was even throwing her pill jars.
"Shannon Marie Gibbs, stop throwing things at your husband!" Gibbs finally yelled, while he kept his arms over his face as cover.
Shannon stopped instantly & just stared, she'd heard the gunfire & this was all she had to defend herself with, but who was she seeing, it was impossible, she just stared at him as he sat down on the bed.
Gibbs sat down, he could tell she was stunned "I love you Shan" he said caressing her cheek.
Shannon thought she was dreaming, but he was here, she flung herself onto him "Jethro" she cried.
Gibbs took hold of her "I'm here babe, I'm here" he rubbed soothing circles on her back.
Shannon clung to him, she had no idea what was going on but right now didn't care "I love you Jethro, don't leave us again please" she begged.
Gibbs pulled them apart from each other just enough so he could look her in the eye "I will never leave you or this family again, ever Shannon, I promise you"
Shannon nodded, she needed to ask "But I don't understand, Mac said…."
Gibbs sighed, he really didn't know how to say it "I know babe, the accident you & Kells were in"
"What about it?" Shannon asked "Wait, where's Kelly?" she suddenly asked in panic.
"She's fine Shan, she's with my dad, she's safe" Gibbs replied trying to assure her.
Shannon breathed a sigh of relief, thank heavens!
Gibbs took a deep breath "Mac made us believe you both had died as a result of it but I figured out it wasn't true"
Shannon just looked at him dumbfounded "what are you saying? He…."
"It doesn't matter at the moment Shan, the only thing that matters is that we're together now & I wont be leaving this family for anything, everything else we can speak about later" Gibbs said, he really didn't want to get into it right now.
Shannon was stunned, but she suddenly realised there was something he needed to know "Ahh darling"
"Yea babe?" Gibbs asked, he wondered why she'd turned sheepish all of a sudden.
"Our family's growing" Shannon replied.
Gibbs watched as she reached to move the blanket, suddenly realising that her right arm was bandaged from her wrist right up to her elbow, this was clearly part of what Kelly was talking about. But he wasn't expecting to see a bump on her stomach, he looked up at her in shock "you're?"
"Darling, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I didn't want you to worry more than you were & we did agree after Panama, but I'm sorry" Shannon replied, she had been kicking herself for not telling him when she thought he'd died.
Gibbs just leaned in & kissed her passionately, he finally pulled back & smiled "best news all day"
"You're not mad?" Shannon asked
Gibbs looked perplexed "Shan, I thought I had lost you & Kells, I was totally beside myself. Now not only do I get my girls back but another bundle? I'm beyond happy, I'm over the moon, definitely not mad babe"
Shannon smiled, she heard someone approach & her husband had even stood up.
Gibbs drew his rifle to the ready unsure who it was, but relaxed when he heard them.
"Just us Gunny, everything is clear" Franks said through the door, so he wouldn't get shot, he then stepped in.
Gibbs nodded his thanks.
"Ma'am, I'm Special Agent Franks" Franks said, he was feeling horrible that something like this almost got past him.
"Hello" Shannon said.
Gibbs sat back down "Kells said you're hurt, we'll go straight to the hospital"
"I'm fine, just a few minor injuries, a doctor comes every day, say's I'll be fine & that this one will be fine too" Shannon said, she could see the concern on his face.
While that brought relief, he honestly didn't want to trust anyone that was friends with Mac.
"I'll check on the status of the ambulance that's in-route" Franks said heading out.
"Let's get you out of here" Gibbs said as he moved the blankets to scoop her up. He saw that her knee was bandaged as well.
"Darling I'm fine, you don't look crash hot either by the way" Shannon said as he lifted her into his arms.
"I'm fine Shan, nothing to worry about" Gibbs replied giving her another kiss.
Gibbs came outside carrying Shannon & was instantly met by the EMTs, he placed her straight on the stretcher.
Shannon looked around, there were police & agents everywhere, but there was one person she was looking for & her eyes fell onto her, she was wrapped up into her grandfather, who was already heading her way.
Jack saw his son bring Shannon out, he could see the bandages & hoped she was ok, as he drew near though he stopped in his tracks, he thought she was.. no, couldn't be.
Kelly wondered where her gramps was going, they'd taken cover from the guns in the barn, she was really scared, but where was he now going, she lifted her head, she was really worried about her mummy & daddy.
Kelly turned, seeing her mum she yelled "Mummy" jumping out of her grandfather's arms, so fast Jack couldn't stop her.
Gibbs scooped her up & lifted her up onto the stretcher, he just smiled as they embraced.
Shannon embraced her "I'm here angel, I'm fine"
"I was soo scared again" Kelly cried into her.
Shannon rubbed her back "Me too baby, me too, but we're fine now, everything's going to be ok"
Gibbs was depressed hearing his girls say that they were scared more than once, he manoeuvred himself to take both of them into his hold "mum's right angel, everything's going to be fine, we're going home & I will never leave you nor let anything happen to you girls ever again"
That made Kelly feel better, she was buried into both her parents as she looked up "and him?" she asked.
Gibbs couldn't help but raise the eyebrow "him?"
"Just a feeling" Shannon smiled.
Gibbs smiled "and him Kells, he or she is apart of this family & this family will be together forever"
A few months later
"Grandma, what's taking so long?" Kelly asked, it felt like they'd been waiting for ages.
Joanne couldn't help but share a smile with Jack before she turned to her "Well, sometimes it can take a while for the little person to come out, we can't all come out as fast as you missy" Shannon had been in labour less than 2 hours with Kelly.
Jack sat down next to Joanne "you know it took your dad 15 hours to come out, he just didn't want to come out" he finished trying to help Joanne out.
"and your mum, it took her 13 hours" Joanne smiled.
Kelly looked between them "maybe they were too comfortable"
Jack & Joanne laughed, it felt good to laugh, the last few months had been hard. They'd gotten back to DC, Mac had been sentenced to 25 years behind bars & the person they'd discovered had helped, a Lt Rooney, had also been sentenced to 10 years. Now though something important was happening, they were waiting for the newest addition to arrive. They just watched as their granddaughter paced, it only took another 10 minutes, before she started again.
Kelly slumped into her grandfather's lap "It's taking forever! How long has it been?"
Jack just chuckled "only 2 hours darling, why don't we go for a walk, maybe get something to eat, you know I saw an ice cream van outside"
"Yea, cause the last thing this girl needs is ice cream" Gibbs chuckled
"Daddy! Well?!" Kelly asked excitedly as she ran up to him.
Gibbs crouched down "your little sibling has arrived" he smiled as he scooped her up.
"YAY!" Kelly yelled.
"Well Jethro?" Jack asked excitedly.
"How's Shannon Jethro?" Joanne asked, she knew Kelly's pregnancy had taken it out of her & given she was still recovering.
"She's fine Joanne, both are perfect. But we want to introduce Kelly first, I'll come get you in a few minutes" Gibbs replied, before carrying his girl into the room.
Kelly saw her mum sitting on a bed, she was holding the baby, she started to bounce.
"Kell, we have to be gentle, remember?" Gibbs said, he was barely containing her, it was cute & he certainly knew how she felt, he was feeling beyond excited & happy.
"I remember" Kelly replied, just as her dad sat down on the bed, moving her onto the bed in between him & her mum.
Shannon smiled, she was exhausted, it wasn't this tiring with Kelly, but she probably had forgotten just how tiring it had been, but she was happy, so sleep would wait.
"Kelly, there's someone that wants to meet you" Shannon smiled to get daughter "this is your baby brother"
Kelly grinned "You were right!" she said as she leaned up to get a better look.
Shannon smiled "I certainly was, come on, you can come closer"
Kelly leaned against her mother to get a better look at him & her eyes widened "he's got your hair!"
Shannon grinned, Gibbs just chuckled "Yeap, but he's got my nose & mouth"
Kelly looked between her dad & baby brother trying to see if he was right "I don't see it"
Shannon laughed "you know what angel, neither do I, but he is as small as dad was" she smirked looking at her husband, but it was just to stir, he looked like his dad for sure.
Gibbs just smiled, give it a few years & it would be even, 2 on 2, he preferred those odds. "My boy will grow, just you wait"
"my boy? Who just…" Shannon said, she didn't want to finish the sentence in front of Kelly, but she had just busted a gut getting him out.
"Sorry, ours" Gibbs corrected himself.
"What's his name?" Kelly asked, looking between her parents.
"Well, we haven't really decided yet, any ideas?" Shannon asked.
"I can help choose?" Kelly asked amazed.
"Sure" Gibbs replied, she'd been rattling off names anyway for the last month, so why not.
Kelly gazed at her brother as she thought, he was kinda small, but his full head of red hair definitely stood out. "What about…. Phoenix"
"Why Phoenix angel?" Gibbs asked, it was a unique name as far as he was concerned.
Kelly sat back down against him "well, we learnt about them in class during the week, they kinda rise from ashes to start a new life & with you now leaving the marines, we're starting a new kinda life…ohh & Phoenix's are usually red on some parts of their bodies" she finished with a smile.
Shannon shared a look with her husband, that was just beautiful she thought & very appropriate, she could tell he agreed "Sounds perfect then angel, but its kind of, not kinda"
"Phoenix it is" Gibbs agreed, she was right, his marines stint had just finished, he had been given a compassionate discharge & was about to start something new. Franks had offered him a job at NIS at the Washington Navy yard, saying he liked the instincts that he had. So given the job was in DC he accepted, glad to have something he could go straight into, so he could continue to provide for his family. "What about his middle name?" he asked his girls
"Jethro?" Shannon offered.
"Phoenix Jethro Gibbs" Kelly said, trying to see how it sounded "don't like it"
Gibbs cuddled his girl "me either" he smirked at his wife.
"what about, Phoenix Leroy Gibbs" Kelly giggled, drawing shock from her dad.
Shannon eyed him "Phoenix Leroy Gibbs, I actually like the sound of that"
Gibbs looked at her "seriously?"
Shannon looked down at the bundle in her arms, he was sound asleep "Phoenix Leroy Gibbs" she said quietly, seeing if it fitted, he opened his eyes & looked right at her, Shannon smiled "Seems that's it, he looked at me when I called his name"
Gibbs eyed her, as much as he didn't want that name, it wasn't his preferred choice if he was completely honest, he had to admit, the name flowed, he brought himself & Kelly closer to Shannon & Phoenix "Phoenix Leroy Gibbs, you young man are now apart of this family & we Gibbs's stick together through everything" he finished gently stroking his son's cheek.
Shannon rested her headed against her husbands, they had Kelly in the middle, the family just sat there for a minute or two enjoying the peace & being together. She finally lifted her head "why don't you go get my mum & your dad, so we can do the introductions before I fall asleep"
"Why do you want to sleep? It's only lunch time, are you tired mummy?" Kelly asked.
Gibbs just smiled, the innocent questions were adorable. "Yes angel, Mum's tired, she worked very hard to get Phoenix out to us, so after we introduce him to gramps & grandma, we're going to let her sleep & we'll take care of him, can you help me?"
"Sure, but I'm not changing his nappy, that's your job!" Kelly finished, no way would she change her brother's nappy! Yuck!
Shannon couldn't help but let out a small chuckle "angel, his first change is definitely being done by dad, he certainly deserves that pleasure" she finished smiling at him.
"No problem" Gibbs replied, he had no issue with that, he'd changed plenty of his girls nappies before & it was piece of cake.
Shannon just eyed him, a baby's first poo was not a pleasant one to change, that she remembered!
Gibbs just smiled as he looked at he gorgeous wife, she was glowing & had not one of their children in her grasp, but both. He had his family back, they were safe, together & he'd never leave them again. And now, they had an extra precious little boy to add to their family, it really was a perfect family now.
A/N: If only this had happened! I doubt anyone would mess with Jack! or Shannon? Heck, all Gibbs's are not to be messed with! I've got some one-shots in mind based on their lives, if this had happened, will be posting in due course.
As always, I love to hear your thoughts, so review away. Next up, think we should see how Jack goes if he gets a certain visitor with red hair?
