Hello!
This is the sequel to A Kick In The Gut, you can read it first, but you don't have to. I think you'll follow on pretty easy.
I dont own NCIS or any charactors to do with the show, but Katharine 'Kitty' is mine :D
Enjoy!
Signed GallopGirl.
(ps. may be a few days to the next chapter cause I'm going away tommorow night and all day Saturday but I'll try to work on it)
Kate peeped through the door of her study. Once only an empty computer desk resided there, now a sleeping child, her sleeping child. She crept in crouched down beside the camp bed. Brushing hair behind her ears, she gave the lump a nudge. It groaned.
"I don't wanna get up…"
Kate smiled, she sounded like Tony already.
"Aw you were all excited about coming to work with us the other day" She joked.
The girl sat up and yawned.
"Okay, okay mommy, I'm up…" groaned the little girl.
Her name was Katharine 'Kitty' Todd soon-to-be-DiNozzo. She was a 6-year-old girl, pale with shoulder length black hair. Kate had adopted her after a case she was involved in went wrong, which left Kitty alone in the world.
Kate smiled.
"Good, now get dressed and met me out in the in the kitchen proto!" She ordered, walking out and shutting the door quietly behind her. She walked into the kitchen, looking at the silver diamond ring on her hand. She gave a little giggle when she thought of when Tony had proposed to her.
"What's so funny?" Tony asked, smiling his million-dollar smile.
Kate smiled, giving him the evil eye. "For me to know, and you to never find out"
"Aw come on Kate. We're getting married, you're not meant to keep secrets…" He nagged.
"Secrets that could ruin the marriage. I'm sure we'll survive without me telling you everything I'm thinking…" She sighed, getting a cup from the sink.
Tony walked up behind her, wrapping his arms gently around her waist.
"How's mommy and little DiNozzo getting along?" he asked.
"Oh Tony" She laughed, pushing him gently away. "A little better this morning but I don't think he or she is finished yet…"
She made some tea. She hated the stuff, but she needed the caffeine boost.
"Looking forward going back to work. Hope you had a good week off. Gibbs has us running over time…"
"With the Owen case? Maybe I can go see Tarsia, his girlfriend. She seemed to like talking to me a bit."
"Ah ah ah, desk job as the doctor ordered. You have a bit of paper worked and if you finish that, your welcome to do mine" He grinned.
"Ha ha, nice try Tony. Remember I did it once and Gibbs came back and said it was to smart sounding to be yours. And he made you do yours again. Don't want to do that again do you?" She questioned, knowing she had won.
"Gee Kate, do you have to remind me. My hand still hurts" He groaned.
Kate made toast for Kitty and one piece for her self. Her moment of peace was short lived; she was beginning to feel sick again.
She glanced at the clock, almost chocking on her tea.
"Tony! We're late!"
-
Kate drove as fast and safely as she could. She glanced at the rear view mirror at Kitty, who was slumped against the door, watching the dark morning.
"I brought my old laptop for you to use Kit" Kate said, looking back at the road then back at her. Kitty smiled at Kate through the rear-view mirror. This moment was however short lived; when they were interrupted by Tony's snoring.
"Tony, wake up!" She said rolling her eyes.
Kitty giggled as Tony jumped awake then glared at Kate.
"Thanks a lot. I was having a great dream about a beautiful woman…"
"Better have been me," She mocked
"No, it was Angelina Jolie" He smirked.
Kate whacked him across the back of the head, Gibbs style
Kitty held Kate's hand tight as her two new parents and her walked through the back way to the NCIS Headquarters. The receptionist smiled at the new family.
"Congratulations Kate. Tony has been talking non-stop about the engagement and his new little girl" She smiled down at Kitty.
"You must be Katharine. Aren't you adorable! Look, your wearing the same cloths as mommy!"
Kitty just smiled nervously. Indeed, Kate thought that if Kitty was to come to work, she should dress the part and have new cloths. She wore a white shirt; grey knee length skirt and little high heal shoes. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
"NCIS Special Agent Kitty!" Kate had called her.
They stepped on to the elevator. Kate was nervous because she hadn't talked to anyone since she left two weeks ago. She also didn't trust Tony's mouth. She glanced at Tony, who was just smiling smugly at himself in the reflection of the elevator door.
She stepped out to find the place bustling, so much for her hopes of no one being here. Straight away she had three young juniors come up to her. Slim, blonde and in their 20's, they congratulated her for her engagement. Kate turned to give Tony the 'look' but he had disappeared. When they could get away, Kate showed Kitty her desk. She grabbed Tony's chair and set the laptop up. At that time Gibbs walked up. He saw the girl, the one he had risked Kate's life to save. No one knew why and maybe, properly no one would ever know.
"Who's this then?" Gibbs questioned in his same, expressionless tone.
Before Kate could say anything, Kitty piped up.
"NCIS Special Agent Katharine 'Kitty' Todd soon-to-be-DiNozzo!" She grinned, copying Kate word for word. This guy looked cool.
"Is that so Agent Kitty? Well spose I better give you and Agent Todd the briefing. Three piles of paper work to be done by the end of the day" He smiled inwards as he saw Kitty's face drop.
"I don't think I want to be a Special Agent anymore" She groaned.
Kate glared at Gibbs. "We don't do paper work all the time. Look, daddy is playing with McGee" She smirked.
Tony was arm wrestling with McGee, McGee putting up quiet a fight till…
"McGee!" Gibbs barked
SLAM! McGee gave a little yelp as Tony slammed his hand into the desk.
"Yes Boss?" he questioned, nursing he hand.
"Car ready?"
"Yes boss…"
"DiNozzo, McGee, car now" He said. "We'll be back tonight. Have that paper work done Agent Todd, Agent Kitty." Said, smiling with his eyes as the men walked away. Tony turned back, shrugged and blew them kisses. Kate and Kitty returned them. "Here's some school work. You'll be home schooled for a bit till we find a new house and school."
-
After two hours Kitty was bord. She had done the spelling words and Maths Kate had given her. She was a bright kid and Kate thought to her self, Kitty would get a great job.
"Can I go to the toilet?" Kitty asked.
Kate spun around from the computer, almost forgetting someone was with her.
"Yeah sure, you go around past that other elevator and across" She said smiling softly.
"You right going by her self?" She asked with concern.
The girl nodded and jumped up, following a Kate direction that was till she got to the elevator. She heard the hum of music coming through the doors. She glanced around, no one was there she pressed the elevator button. With a quiet Bing the doors slid open. She jumped in and listened. The music was coming from below so she pressed buttons 3,2 and 1. The elevator started its descent and Kitty pressed her self to the wall beside the doors. The doors slid open and she heard people moving around and talking. She herd someone say "That's a bit odd…" and head towards the elevator. Panicking, Kit pressed then 'Close Door' button repeatedly, closing just in time.
Kit dreaded the next time the doors would open, but it was quiet apart from the music thumping around an empty corridor. Kit stepped out and tipped toed to a room at the end of the corridor. Kit peeped through the window to see no one, so she slipped through the door.
The music drummed through her head, she loved the feeling. She looked around the clattered but neat room. There were machines buzzing away, test tubes and other things placed around in some sort of order she, and almost everyone, didn't understand. There was some massive drink sitting on a desk. Kit went to investigate it when a flying mass of black and white came at her.
Abby who had been wheeling her self around, checking the numerous tests came flying back for a caffeine hit. She hadn't seen the little girl till the last minute. She jumped up, inches away from bowling her over.
"Hey, who are you?" Abby asked in shock.
