Introduction
Tempe used to be part of NCIS. Then she went to work with bones full time. Now she is crushed that Booth doesn't want her she goes to the one true family she ever had…
Prologue
Temperance was crushed that Booth had rejected her. She was sorry she didn't take the chance before. But it was the day she was raped by one criminal a few years ago. She just couldn't think straight. She had a sons and daughters. As much as she wanted to get rid of them her family told her they would help her. Her ONE TRUE FAMILY. Who knew everything about her. The key to her past was at NCIS. She had been a Federal Agent. One of the best Gibbs had ever trained other than Tony and Tommy.
She missed them Gibbs, Tony, Kate, Ziva, Abby, McGee, Ari, Ducky, Palmer, and Jenny. She had found Tony and Tommy first a few years before NCIS. They were actually triplets siblings separated at birth. When they found each other they were as close as ever. They could sense what each other was thinking. They had that weird triplet connect you could only read about. So when Tony and Tommy got the job at NCIS. Tempe tried out showing Gibbs she was just like her brothers and could do things that they could do just as well.
They worked as a four person team, with Abby and Ducky. That was until Kate came along. She had been secret service and Gibbs offered Kate a job. Tempe liked Kate even if Kate and Tony were consistory bickering. Tony, Tommy and Tempe were co-senior field Agents both being the best on the range when firing a gun.
McGee came next a very green probie. That the four always picked on. But they got on well with him. They helped him become the field Agent he is today.
That's when her kidnappers came in when she figured out Ari wasn't behind anything. It was HIS twin Mriv. Mriv kidnapped Kate and Tempe and held them for a number of days. In which time he raped Tempe to see if he could get answers out of Kate but both remained strong not to tell him. Tempe at called for Tony in her head once she figured out where she was. A SWAT and NCIS team where on them. Mriv was killed by their boss and Ari, two shots to the head. When Tony untied her she threw herself into his arms sobbing. Kate explained what happened and that Ari was trying to save them. Gibbs, Tommy and Tony were furious they wanted to bring back Mriv and torture him a little. They were cautious of Ari but he proved to be a good man. So Gibbs asked him if he wanted to get out from under his father. Ari said yes and became Federal Agent Haswari.
That's when she found out she was pregnant she didn't want to kill them so her family said they would always be there for her and help her raise the little one.
Then Tony got the plague she had been so worried about him. She hadn't been exposed but she knew the likely hood of him surviving weren't good. But he pulled through. That was one thing she had to be happy about.
Tempe was 4 months along when Officer Ziva David joined the team. Ari's sister who had been sent to get him back to Israel. First they didn't know what to make of her or there new Director Jenny Shepherd. But Ziva saved Tempe's life and the babies when an old grudge came back. That forged their friendship. Kate, Ziva, Abby, Tempe and even Jenny would do anything together after work. They even fitted out Tony's three bedroom apartment for the new babies that were due soon. Tony complained they were ruining his manhood. The girls didn't care however.
They got Ziva out from under her father and she became probie Federal Agent David like her brother. Their team was big but effective. That's why they never got split up. Gibbs fought for his team.
She gave birth to two boys and two girls. She named them Katherine Abigail DiNozzo, Jennifer Ziva DiNozzo, Donald Timothy DiNozzo and Jethro Tony DiNozzo. All four where very healthy. Lucky they didn't look like there rapist but their mother Tempe.
When she decided to move on from NCIS she decided to leave the kids in Tony's, Tommy's and the teams care. She was going through a crisis that she needed to solve on her own. They told her to keep in touch and she went to work at the 'Lab' identifying bones. She went under Temperance Brennan not DiNozzo like she had been.
She still visited the team and her babies. But she never told them about her previous life. She didn't trust them enough. She had a hard time trusting people after being in the foster care system and being raped by Mriv.
She did place her trust in Booth. Her she had grown to love in the 6 years of being on this team. She wanted to tell him but couldn't. Then they had this big fight on the anniversary of Mriv's raping of her in front of the whole lab. Booth called her cold hearted and selfish. She had been snapping at everyone lately. Booth said he was moving on with a woman named Hannah because she was not cold hearted. Tempe was crushed she wanted to say what was wrong but couldn't.
She just stormed out of the 'lab' and to her apartment crying. Tears of sorrow and pain.
That was where she was now. Sitting on the couch with a glass of alcohol in her hands her tears had finally stopped. She was now staring into space thinking about happier times. That's when there was a knock on the door. Tempe places her cup down and takes out her spare 6mm.
"Who's there?" Tempe calls cautiously had not been one of Gibbs best and co-senior Agents for nothing she knew all of his rules that the others besides Tony where only still getting.
"Come on Temp. It is me. Let us in", a male voice says
"We know you there", another male voice says
Tempe pulls her gun away and opens the door. To see her triplets Tony and Tommy standing in the doorway.
"Ton, Tom", Tempe says throwing herself into their arms crying
"Let's get out of here. Everyone is at Gibbs's place. They are waiting for you. You will be happier when you see them", Tony says after calming her down with Tommy's help
"Ok. I need to not remember this day", Tempe says getting her coat and bag
"Don't we all", Tony says escorting her to his car
He drives her to Gibbs house where other cars were. Tommy and Tony tried talking to her the whole way but she was a bit distant. They go inside and Kate and Abby tackle Tempe in a big hug. Tempe clings to them.
"We know what this day means to you. We wanted to be there early but we had a case", Kate says pulling back so her Best Friend could get hugged by everyone else
"Where are my babies?" Tempe asks
"They are at McGee's place his sister is looking after them and Amira", Gibbs says
"Who is Amira?" Tempe asks forgetting her sorrow for now
"My step-daughter. I married now. Sorry you weren't invited it was quick otherwise she was going to leave the country. Stupid rules", Tony says hands around a beautiful woman
"I am Temperance DiNozzo", Tempe says introducing herself
"Leyla. I am from Afghanistan", Leyla says
"She is Mike's sister in-law. Leyla's first husband died a year ago. She was about to be deported. I liked her so we decided to give it a go. I hope you don't mind", Tony says
"Mike didn't skin you alive?" Tempe asks shocked
She had meet Mike after Gibbs was caught in that explosion with her. She had been lucky with only a couple of broken bones and burns. But Gibbs had been in a coma.
"No. He wanted someone to take care of Leyla and Amira. Gibbs is Amira's godfather", Tony replies
"Will you be Amira's godmother?" Leyla asks
"Of course. But why me? You don't know me", Tempe asks
"Everyone had told me so much about you and I love your children so does Amira. I feel like I know you", Leyla replies
"How old is Amira?" Tempe asks sitting down
"4. You can meet her whenever you want", Leyla says
"Temperance are you ok?" Ducky asks concerned at her fatigue
"Haven't been sleeping well. And got into a fight with my supposedly partner and team today. They said I am was cold-hearted", Tempe says
"THEY SAID WHAT!" Tony shouts
"I AM GOING TO KILL THEM", Tommy shouts
Ziva and Ari swear in Hebrew. Jenny puts a hand on Gibbs so he doesn't do something foolish. Kate and Abby hug Tempe.
"You are not cold-hearted. You were raped on this day 8 years ago. By a sociopath", Kate says
"They are right. Would a sociopath agree to be Amira's godmother?" Gibbs asks, "Or help out all those children you have and the ones that are not yours"
"Jethro is right. You are far from a cold person. You were more worried about Gibbs then yourself when you were blown up", Jenny adds
"What about the creepy stalker I had? You stayed with me", Abby adds
"You helped me get a backbone", McGee adds
"You would always talk to me and help me with directions", Jimmy says
"You helped me with my English. I am glad I taught you Hebrew and Arabic", Ziva says
"You helped my get my woman", Ari says looking at Kate
"I am proud of you Tempe. You are not cold hearted", Gibbs says with a tap to the back of the head
"Got you Boss", Tempe says smiling a little
"Good", Gibbs says taking a sip of bourbon
"So who is together other than Tony and Leyla, Gibbs and Jenny, Abby and McGee, Ari and Kate, Tommy and Ziva?" Tempe asks showing her skills
"I have a girlfriend named Bree", Jimmy says
"That is wonderful Jimmy", Tempe says
"What's wrong Temperance?" Ducky asks
"You know you are all truly my family I shouldn't of left", Tempe says
"You can always come back", Gibbs says looking at Jenny
"I think Gibbs team need you back again. I will be happy to reinstate you", Jenny says to Tempe
"What do you say sis?" Tony asks
"I will come back. I like our team much better. We are a family not just a team", Tempe says
"And always will be my dear", Ducky says
Gibbs passes out the scotch and they raise their glasses
"To Federal Agent Temperance DiNozzo who is coming back", Kate says
Everyone clicks their glasses and drinks the scotch. Tempe smiles this is why she loved her family they always knew how to cheer her up and not think about things.
"So what do we do first?" Tempe asks
"You resign. And pack your stuff", Tony says
"Where will I live?" Tempe asks
"Here. I live with Jenny at the moment. The house is yours. Live with the kids in it", Gibbs says throwing her the unused keys
"Thanks Boss. So when do I pack?" Tempe asks
"Now. Tony, Tommy, Kate, Ari, Abby, Ziva you go with her and help. It is best if she is out of there by the end of the weekend", Gibbs orders
"Right Boss", Tony says kissing Leyla and the six of them go to their cars, "Follow me"
"I am glad I have you all Ton", Tempe says as they drive
"You are my triplet sister. I will do anything for you", Tony replies
They are soon at the apartment. Everyone pitches in to pack.
"I need to go to the lab with my resignation. Can you make sure nothing is broken here?" Tempe asks Abby
"Yes ma'am", Abby says with a salute
Tempe laughs and leaves in her car. It was the middle of the night on Saturday morning. No one would be in for Monday and she would be long gone. She packs the stuff that she wanted from her office like her hidden gun and knife. Picks up a few trinkets then writes her letter. She leaves it on Dr Saroyan's desk. She looks at the 'lab' one last time then turns her back. She was now not going to think about this place again. About Booth, Angela, Hodgins, Sweets, Cam, Caroline and her interns. Her father even she wasn't going to think about. She was going back to her old life a life she loved with true family.
Tempe gets to her apartment at dawn she finds boxes in her family's cars.
"Dr Brennan are you leaving? You still have 3 month's rent paid for", the owner says
"Keep the money. It means little to me. You can have the furniture too. I am only taking some things. Whatever is left behind you can keep or sell", Tempe says
"Thank you Doctor Brennan", the owner says
"Tempe we are nearly ready to go", Tommy calls
"Coming", Tempe says living the owner and going into her apartment
Things were already in boxes. There was nothing personal remaining.
"Is this all you want?" Tony asks
"Yes. Let's go. I am done here", Tempe says with a last look around
"Great!" Tony says lifting some heavy boxes to the car
Tempe goes and picks up her hidden guns and places them in a box.
"Now we can go", Tempe replies carrying the box on guns out of the apartment.
She puts it in the back of Tony's car and gets in.
"Ready?" Tony asks getting in the driving seat
"Yes. More than ready", Tempe replies as Tony drives away
They arrive back at Gibbs now Tempe's house. Gibbs was waiting for them when they all pulled up.
"Jenny want's us at NCIS. We can unpack tonight", Gibbs says
"Ok Boss", they say
"Do I come?" Tempe asks
"Yes she wants to reinstate you. She need to update your contact information and other things. Then she will get you your badge and gun back", Gibbs says
"Ok. Who do I drive with?" Tempe asks
"Me", Gibbs says
Tempe pales a bit but gets in Gibbs car. They arrive at NCIS twenty minutes later.
"She is with me", Gibbs says to security
They work into the Bullpen everything bought back memories for Tempe. Even if it had been over 6 years.
"Go up to the Director. We will be down here when you get back", Gibbs says as the others come in
Tempe walks up to the Director's office and knocks.
"Come in", she says
"Director. As you know I have came to get my job back", Tempe says
Jenny opens a draw and hands out a gun and a badge.
"I have been saving these. I knew one day you will come back. Welcome home Agent Temperance DiNozzo. We will be your emergency contacts?" Jenny asks
"Tony first, Tommy second, Gibbs third, Abby fourth, Kate fifth, McGee sixth, Ducky seventh, Ziva eighth, Jimmy ninth and Ari tenth", Tempe replies
"Ok done. Let's go I have to say it to the others", Jenny says
They walk out and the bull pen was busy with people.
"Everyone!" Jenny calls and work stops
"Some might recognise this woman next to me in case you haven't her name is Temperance DiNozzo. She is re-joining Gibbs MCRT Team. So let's welcome back Agent Temperance DiNozzo", Jenny says clapping
Everyone claps.
Tempe sighs she was back and it did feel right…
