Vince

NCIS HQ

Kate sat down at her desk returning from their latest crime scene. When her cell phone rang. Kate picked up the phone to look at the call display. Unknown.

"Hello"

"Hello Katie did you miss me?"

"Tom?"

"Yes it's me"

"What do you want Tom?"

"I just wanted to know how my wife is doing"

"I'm not your wife anymore!"

"Alright, fine!"

"Where are you Tom?"

"Right behind you"

Kate got up from her chair to see a man about early 30's with dirty blond hair and blue eyes with a little boy about 5 years old with light brown hair and blue eyes.

"Mommy!" said the little boy running toward Kate to give her a big hug.

"Don't ever leave me again ok mommy"

"Sure baby never again" Kate said while trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill.

Tbc…?

Gibbs walks off the elevator and makes his way over to the bullpen when he sees a man and Kate hugging a little boy. Wondering what going on he starts to walk toward them.

"What are you doing here Tom?"

"I came to drop off Vincent here"

"Why you wanted full custody, why now?"

"Because I can't look after him anymore"

Seeing Gibbs approaching Kate tells Vincent to go sit at her desk. The little boy did what he was told and to sit at the desk. Unfortunately Vincent didn't know what desk was his mommy's so he just picked one. He unfortunately picked the wrong one.

Gibbs could see that Kate was having a very heavy conversation with the man so he decided to pass and go to his desk. Passing by only the man looked up to see but then went straight back to the conversation with Kate, Gibbs rounded the conor when he saw the little boy sitting on his chair trying to spin it around. Going around the desk the boy stopped spinning to look straight at him.

"Hi" said the boy.

"Hello, who are you" Gibbs asked in his gentlest voice.

"I'm Vincent but my mommy and daddy call me Vince"

"Hello Vince my name's Jethro Gibbs."

"Jethro that's a funny name"

"Yeah I know it is"

"I like it!" said the boy with a great big smile on his face.

"Is that your daddy over there talking to Kate?"

"Yes, that's my mommy and daddy talking together."

"Kate's your mom?!"

At this point Kate has returned and doesn't look happy. But when she sees Vince a smile grows on her face.

"Hey, Vince I guess your staying with mommy until we get things sorted out."

"Yeah, Mommy!"

Vince then jumped down from the chair and moved passed Gibbs to run into his mother's arms.

"Mommy I'm hungry."

"Ok let's go see what they have in the cafeteria"

"Mommy can my friend Jethro come too?"

"Sure if he wants to why don't you go ask him."

"Ok"

"Hey, Jethro want to come down to the cafeteria wif mommy and me?" Please"

"Um….. Sure why not"

"Yea!"

Gibbs stood up and walked over to them. While they waited for the elevator Vince slipped his hand into his mother's and Gibbs hand. Gibbs looked down and smiled at him. Then he looked up at Kate and smiled at her. She was going to have a lot of explaining to do. But for now he was going to enjoy the company.
