AN: Hey everybody! Sorry I have been AFC lately. I have had soccer tryouts and I have been working on my Girl scout Silver Award Project. Umm, I also had dance recitals and all this crap that makes my schedule busy. But I love a busy schedule so I guess it is good that I am busy. I also just didn't feel like writing so forget ya'll. Jk, I love ya'll. Thanks for not giving up on me. I would like to apologize in advance for any mistakes. Please, if you find a mistake that you want fixed, tell me. So, enjoy, or not, whatever.
P.S. This is a sequel to We Are Home. You need to read that to understand this.
Kisses! XOXOXOX

The car sped through town, the driver breaking every single law. He quickly pulled into a neighborhood and slowed down to the appropriate speed. The driver pulled the car into the driveway and cut it off. Three people stepped out of the car. A man in his thirties and two girls about 10 and 11. Another car pulled into the driveway. A woman in her thirties stepped out and walked to the other side of the car. She opened the second side door and got a sleeping four year old out of her car seat. An irritated 14 year old girl got out of the front seat and slammed the door.
"Mom. Why do we have to live in Washington D.C.? I want to go back to Pennsylvania!" the teen complained.
"Because, this is where we live now. I'd be grateful we got out of that empty hell-hole we used to live in." the women said harshly.
"Why'd you have to remarry and have another kid though? I never wanted a new father or another sibling. I hate them and you! I just want Grandpa!" she screamed as she stormed off. She had no idea where she was going but she knew she had to get away from this house.
"Kate!" the woman started to cry. She started to run after her but the man stopped her.
"Let her cool off. She'll come around. She just isn't used to D.C. yet. Abby and Ziva were like that when we first moved, but they were much more violent with actions than words. Honestly, I would have preferred the words." the man explained.
The woman let a chuckle escape her lips before turning to the 10 year old. "Do you want to help me get all of this stuff inside Ziva?"
"No, not really." Ziva mumbled.
"What was that?" the woman asked.
"I said no Shannon." Ziva shouted.
"Ziva! Don't yell at her. She did nothing to you." the man scolded.
"No Jethro. It's okay. What about you Abby?"
"No. Sorry. I want to go walked around and find some of my old friends. Want to go with me Zi?" Abby answered.
Ziva nodded and followed her goth sister. They walked two blocks to Abby's old friend's house.
"Hey Mallory!" Abby shouted.
"How do you know my name?" Mallory asked.
"We were in preschool together. It's me! Abby Gibbs."
"Oh my gosh! I haven't seen you in forever! How have you been? When did you start dressing like that and wearing make-up?" she said while signaling to Abby's short skirt, fish-net tights, platform boots, and tight black shirt that had a skull on it.
"I know! I have been great thanks for asking. I was in 5th grade when I started dressing like this and I just started wearing make-up last year. My dad doesn't really like it. How have you been?"
"I bet he hates it. I have been good thanks for asking. Where did you go for like, seven years?"
"I moved to Pennsylvania. Oh! By the way! This is my sister Ziva. She will turn eleven in a few months."
Ziva just nodded at Mallory before looking at the golden colored Labrador Retriever laying in the sun coated grass. "That's a really pretty dog. What's his name?"
"Thanks and HER name is Maddie." Mallory explained.
"Can I pet her?"
Mallory just nodded and turned back to Abby.
Kate was sitting on a swing just blowing off some steam. She was about to say a few cuss words but two little kids that looked to be about five showed up. She pulled out her phone and started texting one of her friends. After she sent the message, she hopped off the swing and headed to the monkey bars; which she climbed on top of. She pulled up her music player on her cell phone and played her favorite song which was Silhouette by Owl City. It explained her life completely. The song cut off and another song came on. She sat there for about a hour before she decided to go back to the house. It was definitely not her home. It was no where close to being her home. And she wasn't going to let that lie become the truth. She wasn't gonna let any lies become the truth. In fact, she was sick of all these lies. She was sick of these wishes and hopes getting mixed up with reality. She was just frustrated because her mom was not seeing clearly.
On her walk back, she passed Mallory's house and saw Abby and Ziva. "Hey! You guys need to come back to the house!" she shouted.
Ziva and Abby just nodded, said goodbye to Mallory, and followed Kate back to the house. When they got there, they saw that everything was already inside.
Kate stomped through the front and and walked to the couch. She plopped down and waited for about 5 minutes before asking, "Where's my room?"
"Umm, well, I was thinking we could convert the basement into a bedroom for you. You would get your own bathroom and everything." Gibbs answered.
"Okay. Whatever. I don't really care."
"Abby and Ziva will get Abby's old room and Kelly can have the guest room."
"Wait, where will I stay until my room is ready?"
"You will sleep on the floor in the guest room." She answered clearly irritated with her daughter.
"Ugh! That isn't fair!" Kate whined.
"Stop that Kate. You sound spoiled." Shannon hissed through clenched teeth.
Kelly started cussing out her mom under her breath. She then stormed off towards the backyard and started to kick a soccer ball that was flat and torn up from being out in the rain.
Abby and Ziva ran to their room to talk about what changes they should make. They both agreed that the pink walls would have to go. Agreeing on a color was a little harder but they both settled on a dark blue. They started to move the furniture that got left behind out and then sat down on the floor to decide where to put the other furniture. Now, this was one of the decent size bedrooms that had two closets so Abby got one and Ziva got the other. They decided to divide the room in half furniture wise. Abby would get one half for her furniture and Ziva would get the other but they were allowed to go on each others half so there was no fighting. They decided to put the t.v. and its stand against the middle of the wall away from where their beds were going to be. After they did all that, they walked into the living room and showed Gibbs the color paint they wanted for their room and he said that they would go get the paint in the next week. Abby and Ziva then ran out to the car to get their stuff. Ziva got her softball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, football, and basketball bags out. Abby got her dance bag out and took it inside. Siva got her softball and bat out and threw the rest of the bags into the yard. She set down the ball and practiced her swinging. Then she got the ball and practiced her pitching.
Abby was in the garage practicing her plies. Then she worked on her heel stretches and her splits. She got her right split all the way down. She was close to a perfect split on her middle and left splits.
Kate was sitting on the brick wall texting all her friends about how much she hated Washington D.C. and how she wanted to move back to Pennsylvania. All of her friends told her some version of it will get better and that they miss her but she didn't believe them. She took her phone and threw it on the ground. She shut her eyes and tried to relax but she was too frustrated. She hopped down, got her phone, and marched inside. She plopped down on the couch and turned on the t.v. She changed the channel to Tom and Jerry and propped her feet up on the coffee table. The last thing she remembered was Tom trying to catch Jerry.
Ziva had moved on from softball practice to basketball practice. She was dribbling when a car started to pull in causing her to have to get in the yard. She ran into the house calling Gibbs.
"Dad! Daddy! DAD!" she shouted. "Someone just pulled into the driveway."
Gibbs walked down the stairs and out the door.
"Hello Jethro!" Ducky shouted.
"Ducky, how have you been?" Gibbs asked.
"I have been well. Jimmy kept asking about you and the children."
"Where is he now?"
"Baseball practice. You and the children should come over tonight for dinner. That would be five right?"
"Six. You're forgetting Shannon."
"Oh yes. Shannon. How is she?"
"Good. She is having trouble with Kate. She is not happy with the move."
"That is common with most teenagers."
"I am so glad Abby and Ziva like it here. I don't know what I would do with three irritated children. Kelly is just upset that she has to do all of this stuff for her cf when her siblings don't. So, would you like to come in?"
"Yes. That would be nice."
"So, do you and Linda have any plans for the future. Any vacations?"
"Oh well, I think that I am going to go to London."
"Just you? What about Linda and Jimmy?"
"Well, Linda is going to go live the free life she always wanted and Jimmy is going to go into the system."
"Wait, you and Linda are getting a divorce?"
"I think so."
"Why put Jimmy in the system?"
"Because he can't keep going from my house to hers."
"Why not?"
"Because I would move to London."
"So why doesn't he live with just one of you?"
"Because we both agreed that we don't want to raise him alone."
"So don't split up."
"It is not that simple Jethro."
"Sure it is."
"I have to go. Be at my house by 5:30 for dinner."
"Okay Duck. See you then."
Ducky walked out the door and to his car. He pulled out of the driveway and drove away.
Gibbs walked back into the house and to the kitchen.
"Daddy?" Kelly asked about five minutes later.
"In the kitchen sweetheart. What do you need?"
"I'm hungry." she said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Well, we can't have that now can we?"
"No. We can't." she giggled as she sat down.
"So, what do you want?"
"Ummm... pasghetti o's."
Pasghetti o's?"
"Yeah. Pasghetti o's"
"Okay. One bowl of pasghetti o's coming up."
"Yay!"
Gibbs opened the can and got out two bowls. He poured half of the spaghetti o's into one bowl in the other half in the other bowl. He put them in the microwave for a minute and then got out the apple juice which was Kelly's favorite drink. The microwaved beeped signaling that the food was done cooking. He got the bowls out and left them on the counter to cool off. He brought the juice to the table and sat down. After about a minute, he decided that the food was cool enough and he stood up to get them. "Careful when you eat Kelly. It could still be hot." Also, don't forget to take your enzymes."
"Okay Daddy. How come I am the only one that has to take enzymes and do breathing treatments?"
"Because you are the only one with CF."
"Why am I the only one with CF?"
"I don't know sweetie."
"I really hate it. I'm always stuck inside for 30 minutes every morning and night." she said as she stuck her bottom lip out.
"That's better than being stuck in a hospital for two weeks isn't it?"
"I guess so."
"Good! Now, eat your spaghetti o's."
She nodded and started eating. Once she was finished, she got up and put her dishes in the sink. She looked at the clock and saw that is was 10 until 3:00 pm.
"Daddy, can I go play outside?"
"Only until 4:15 because we are going to Uncle Ducky's for dinner. Do you remember him?"
"Yeah I do. I am going to go find Zi and see if she wants to play." Kelly said as she ran off. "Zi? Zi? Zi, where are you?"
"In the living room Kelly. What do you need?" Ziva answered.
"Will you play with me and why are you sitting on the floor instead of the couch?" Kelly asked as she entered the living room.
Yes to your first question and to answer your second question, Kate is taking up the entire couch and you never mess with a sleeping teen."
"Oh. What do you want to play?"
"Why don't we get Abs and play hide and go seek?"
"Okay. I will go get her! Abs! Abs! Abs, where are you?"
"Did someone call me?" Abby asked as she walked into the living room.
"I did." Kelly said.
"What do you need?" Abby asked.
"Zi and I were wondering if you wanted to play hide and seek with us." Kelly replied.
"Sure. Did Daddy give us a time to come in?" Abby asked.
"Umm, I have to be in by 4:15."
"Okay, I'll set an alarm for 4:15 that way we don't lose track of time. Get Zi and head out back."
Kelly just nodded and went to get Ziva. When they were out back the decided who would be it. Abby volunteered to be it first and they all sgreed that they had to count to 50. Abby started to count and Ziva and Kelly ran to hide. Ziva climb a tree and hid herself behind the leaves. Kelly decided to run around front and found a good tree to hide behind in her neighbor's yard across the street. She took of running and didn't even notice the car racing down the street.
Okay so, I want you guys to tell me what you think. Cliffie! Can we try to get the reviews up to 10? I am not sure when I can update again. I have to write the chapters and I don't really have time. So, also, I want to say to all the people who live in Stillwater, I am sorry if I called it a hell-hole. I was not trying to make fun of it. I was just trying to add some more flavor to my writing. I guess that is what you call it. I am not sure. Also, I tried my hardest to get the stuff about CF right but I am just basing off of my brothers. I know it is different for everyone but this is just based off my brothers. Please, feel free to leave all the hate reviews you want because I can take it. I need to learn to face bullying and I think that reviews that are harsh will help. I got to go to the shooting range today!Anyways, thanks for reading.
Well, off to where ever.
