Chapter 1

Settling In

Warning: Discussion of spanking and a light swat.

As they went to bed that night, they wondered what their future would hold in the New Year.

Gibbs was the first to wake the next morning to the smell of coffee. Nettie was busy in the kitchen when Gibbs made it downstairs. He smiled when he saw her and thought about how the family had adopted her so easily and even called her "Miz" Nettie as the Seven so affectionately named her.

Since they were alone, Nettie took the opportunity to speak to Gibbs privately. "So, when are you and Jenny goin' to realize that you have feelins for each other?"

Gibbs almost spit out some of the coffee he had not swallowed yet and said, "You sure do get straight to the point, Miz Nettie."

"Look Son, I have lived long enough ta call 'em as I see 'em. It looks to me that you and Jenny have been given a second chance. If I were you, I wouldn't let her go this time. 'Sides, you won't be able to keep up the pretendn' very long and people talk. If you want to keep the extra attention away, it might be a good idea that you and Jenny make things right. No tellin' how long yer gonna be here."

Gibbs stood to go out to his workshop, kissed Nettie on the cheek and said, "I'll think about it Miz Nettie."

She lightly smacked Gibbs' backside with the wooden spoon as he made his way to the sink and said, "You better not be thinkn' too long."

Gibbs put his hands up in surrender as he made his way to the door and out to the workshop.

Just a few minutes later, Jenny showed up in the kitchen. Nettie took the same opportunity to tell Jenny what she thought. All Jenny did was blush and smile. "Where is Jethro?" Jenny was hoping to change the course of the conversation.

"He went out to his workshop."

"Thank you, Miz Nettie." Jenny said as she exited through the same door as Gibbs.

In the meantime, Gibbs was cutting a piece of wood and thinking about that camera/pen that brought them here. He just couldn't understand how that could have happened. He had only heard of Doctor Who through one of Tony's many TV references. Since he wasn't a big TV watcher, he decided he needed to sit with the kids and try to understand more about this screwdriver thing. Meanwhile, he just needed to relax with woodworking for a while.


"Hey, Jethro. What are you doing?"

"I'm thinking about my first project. I may make an end table or something. The old fashioned tools in here are amazing."

"You mean your second project?" Jenny asked with a smirk.

Gibbs smiled at the thought of the paddle he had made. "Yeah, I don't think the kids were too happy about that."

"Well, all they have to do is behave." Jenny said.

Then Gibbs said with a grin, "You too."

"Just what do you mean by that?" Jenny asked incredulously.

"I've seen you and Mary together. Just don't get any ideas about being liberated in a time when women don't do such things. Remember, we don't need the attention."

"You can't be serious! You are threatening me like I am one of the kids."

"If you don't think I am serious, test me and you will see. Unless you want extra 'attention' from me, don't give the family any." Gibbs said with a glare.

Jenny huffed and walked out. As a matter of fact, she had to be careful not to stomp out of the building. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing a tantrum! Although she wouldn't admit it, she was glad he said what he did. It felt good to be in a family.

Gibbs just shook his head and went back to work.

Jenny walked back into the kitchen with frustration on her face. Ducky and Nettie chuckled when they saw her. "Yep, they are in love!" Nettie said with a laugh.


The kids gradually woke up. Ziva and Abby came down to breakfast in their riding pants. Gibbs had given Abby the same permission to wear pants around the ranch, but still insisted they wear dresses in town. They were both excited about not having to wear all of those underthings.

After breakfast, the kids decided to go take a look around the grounds. They carefully skirted the woodshed, saying they had seen enough of that building. As they walked they came upon another small building. It appeared to be a storage shed. Once inside, they began digging through the crates.

"Hey guys, look at what I found!" Tony excitedly pointed to a crate he was looking through.

"Fireworks! And so close to New Year's Eve!" Abby squealed with delight.

Ziva was also excited. She loved the explosions and the sparks of fireworks. They were a lot safer than what she saw during her time in Mossad.

Tim and Jimmy looked a little apprehensive. "Uh, guys? We don't know how old these things are." Tim said with uneasiness.

Jimmy nervously said, "I don't have a good feeling about this."

"Awww. Jimbo, you never want to take chances! What's new?" Tony said knowingly. "It is like what Mrs. Frizzle says on the Magic School Bus when they go on a field trip, 'It is time to explore, take chances...' and so on."

"You have been reduced to cartoon references now, Tony." Tim said as he rolled his eyes.

"Hey, it works!" Tony said with a chuckle. "You're just a bunch of chickens! Let's go try a couple. "

"Alright, but I'm doing this against my better judgment." Tim said and Jimmy agreed.

The group went around back of the barn and set off the first rocket. The first rocket went right up into the sky and popped perfectly. The kids having being lulled into a false sense of security set off the other rocket. It was supposed to go straight up into the air, but of course it didn't. It flew right into Gibbs' workshop. It exploded inside. Gibbs was caught by surprise by the rocket, but ducked just in time. The rocket had hit the back wall. He was able to get up and put it out before it caught the sawdust on fire.

The kids had arrived at the workshop in time to see Gibbs stomp out the small flames. The miscreants were about to turn and sneak out once they saw Gibbs was alright when they heard, "CHILDREN, FRONT AND CENTER!" They cringed as they slowly turned around.

"Oh, boy!" This was all Jimmy could say as he just knew that he was in for his first real experience with the Wrath of Gibbs.
