I do not own NCIS.

Author's note/introduction: They have all kinds of weird things happen to the people in NCIS, to the point where one wonders how they resolved those issues. This is my take on what happened after. I take episode requests.

Episode: Vanished (Season two, Episode three)

Todd Newell waited anxiously outside a small room in a hospital in Indiana. He had taken Daphne, his brother's girlfriend, there to protect her from her father. In all reality, they were both fine with never seeing her father again.

"Sir?" A doctor poked his head out the door.

Todd jumped to his feet. "Yes?"

"You can come in now."

Daphne lay on the bed, a small bundle in her arms. She looked up and smiled.

"It's a boy. Seven pounds, nine ounces."

Todd smiled at his newborn nephew. "Hello there."

"What do you think we should call him?"

Todd considered it for a moment. "Well, considering he looks just like Greg did in his baby pictures, maybe that would be a good name for him."

"I like it. And for a middle name-"

She trailed off, trying to brainstorm. Todd took Greg junior gently from her, cradling him in his arms. There were several options, but one stood out, the name of the agent who had rescued both Daphne and Todd, in a way.

"Jethro."

Greg Jethro opened his eyes, yawning. He smiled up at his mother and uncle. At that moment, the rising sun shone right through the window.

It was a new beginning.

Author's note: Vanished was one of my favorite episodes. The way I see it, Daphne and Todd could be surrogate siblings (that's how I feel about my brother's girlfriend), or, if you want it, they could be, ahem, involved. Anyway, please review, and I am taking suggestions/requests.
