Abby and Tim McGee have been married for seven years now; they have a six year old daughter named Nadia Marie McGee. Abby and Tim have been trying to figure out if Nadia is going to public or private school for first grade. They finally decided on public school. It is Monday August 22 at five in the morning. Nadia is still asleep while Abby and Tim have just woken up.
"Timmy, do you think Nadia is ready to go to first grade? I mean I know she was able to o to kindergarten but that was at a private school and I don't know if she is ready for public school!" Abby said getting nervous. Last year when Nadia was in kindergarten Tim had to calm Abby down for all of the first week. He was starting to wonder if it was going to be like this every year.
"Don't worry Abby, she'll be fine. It is only until three. Then we can both go pick her up." Tim said, he hated seeing Abby so nervous. He pulled Abby into a quick hug then went to get ready for the day. Gibbs had given them the day off unless they had a case so they could see how the first day went.
"Timmy, how do you know she will be fine? Last year she cried the whole first week!" Abby said starting to raise her voice.
"Abby, I just know. We got though her first year away from us it will be better than last year. I promise." Tim finished getting dressed and pulled Abby into a hug, "Now get dressed and let's get Nadia's breakfast and lunch made." They went downstairs and made eggs and toast and poured a glass of milk. It has been Nadia's favorite breakfast since the begging of summer. After they got breakfast ready Abby went to wake Nadia up.
"Nadia, time to get up little one," Abby said going over to Nadia's bed and picking her up out of her bed. Nadia had been up all night excited so she was still sleepy.
"Ok mommy, I'm up." Nadia said to Abby who carried the first grader down the stairs and into the kitchen. Just as Abby went to put her little first grader in the chair in front of the food someone knocked at the door. Tim went to see who it was.
"Hi Boss," Tim said, "What are you doing here? Do we have a case?" Tim wanted to at least see his little girl go to her first day of school this year. Last year he missed it because they had a case.
"No, I came by to see Nadia and hopefully help Abby calm down," Gibbs said. He knew Abby would be nervous about Nadia. Tim led him into the kitchen.
"Uncle Gibbs!" Nadia yelled running towards Gibbs. Gibbs picked her up and gave her a hug.
"Gibbs, I need her to eat," Abby whined. Gibbs set Nadia down and gave her a little push to go back to the table.
"Abs, don't worry, she has plenty of time." Gibbs said getting pulled into one of Abby's hugs.
"I know, I am just a little nervous. Why are at our house? I mean you are always welcome here but…" Gibbs could see that Abby was nervous so he put his finger to her lips.
"Abs, calm down, Nadia's only going to first grade not halfway around the world," Gibbs said. Abby was protective of her daughter just like she was with her team, maybe even more. "I came by to make sure you were ok and to give Nadia a gift before leaving." With this he turned to leave the house and go to his car to grab the gift. It was a Hello Kitty lunchbox that had been Kelly's. He pulled a chair out and sat in it so he could look at Nadia. "Here, Nadia, it was my daughter Kelly's that she used at school. There is a surprise inside."
Nadia opened it and found a stuffed puppy. "Thank you, Uncle Gibbs!" She said standing up and giving him a hug.
"Nadia, go get dressed please," Abby said giving her daughter a push to go upstairs, once she was sure Nadia was gone she spoke, "Gibbs are you sure you want Nadia to have that?"
"Abs, I am sure." Gibbs said giving her a kiss on the cheek then turning to leave, "Tell Nadia I said goodbye and that I will see her later," Gibbs said before leaving out the door.
