Brother & Sisters Unite

Abby and Gibbs had invited them all over for a dinner announcement party. She told them that she was adopted. Everyone was welcoming. Taking the info in by the family around her. Relishing in them. Seeing it all. Still questioning if she should or not.

The next day everything was normal up till about 2 pm.

Tony came down to her lab to hijack her from what she is working on. Getting her into the car they drove north. Driving up into a suburban park. Tony stops the car.

"What are we doing here?"

"You say you don't know if you have the right to intervene in their lives."

"Yeah." Tony motions with his head to somebody on the street. Abby turns.

"See the woman with the green stroller." Abby spies the woman with a little girl skipping ahead of her. Turning to see a smiling Tony.

"Who is she?"

"She's my sister." Abby takes a quick look then back to her NCIS brother.

"What? How long?"

"Since I was 13. Found a box of my mother items. Found death certificate and right behind it a birth certificate." She follows Tony's eyesight back to the woman and family. "Isabella Catherine DiNozzo. Born 18 minutes before my mother... I didn't know or didn't remember," she was pregnant. Tony swallowed. Abby watches as they go up toward the playground. "I never knew. What could a thirteen year old do?" his eyes watch as the little girl goes tot eh swing to be lifted upon. "Grew up thought about her. Kept an eye on her. Watched her grow, fall in love. Have a kid. Have 2.5. " He shacks his head. Abby looks at him.

"Have you ever talked to her?"

"No, I don't have the courage." He laughs. "I tried once. We played a game at Penn State. She was with a band. Her and a couple of friends played at the Nation Café. Won the game and watched her play. She plays guitar, left handed. She can wail. "

"So why don't' you?"

"What would I say? What would you say?"

"Hi I'm your brother."

"And then what? We know a lot of dangerous people. I want to keep her safe. Keep them safe.

"What are the kids names?" knowing that he would know.

"The girl on the swings, here name is Emily. The little girl in the stroller is Marina. She'll be two in a month." Abby watches as his sister put the smaller one into a swing and began to alternate pushing between the two girls. A happy suburban life. " I don't have your courage..."

"You have courage Tony."

"No, you have courage. I have a family. She has… I want to… I'll make you a deal. I will always be there for you. And when you talk to your brother. I'll talk to my sister. Deal?"

"Deal. So what's her name?"

"Isabella Marks." Abby watches Tony watch his sister and nieces play. The longing in his eyes. She had the same longing. And she has the courage to go do it. She has her NCIS family backing her up. Tony didn't back then but he does now just like herself. And we could always add additional family members. And to not ask would a, could a, should a. Time to act.

"So let's go to the animal rescue?" no time like the present.
