Gibbs sighed as he finished paperwork at 8 at night.

Tonight was the nigh I wasn't going to go home; I couldn't because five years ago it should have been me. Exactly five years ago I stood on a rooftop with two agents and in a split second a bullet had gone right through her head. Kate's head to be exact. My agent died right in front of me. She was like a daughter to me. A beautiful daughter, I never told her how much I cared for her. I glance over at McGee, he was staring at a calendar in front of him, Tony was staring at his computer, and Ziva had no clue what today was, she was just doing paperwork and looking at Tony.

Ziva, was the ex-mossad officer that had taken Kate's place. No matter how much the team liked Ziva she would never be Kate, ever. Sighing again I picked up my phone and dialed Abby's number. She would be mourning over her best friend for sure.

"H-h-hello?" She answered as if she had been crying. I would bet my next pay check she had.

"Abbs you want me to come down there?" I ask in a strong voice.

"Why would you have to do that Gibbs?" She asked playing dumb.

"I haven't forgotten either Abbs, it hurts me too." I whisper in a gentle voice trying to sooth her. Ziva looks up from her paperwork confused.

"P-ple-please c-come d-do-down." She managed to choke out. Slamming my phone shut I got up and walked down to Abby's lab.

She was curled up in a sitting in her chair, hair down, no dark lipstick, no music, and tears going down her face. Poor thing. I come up from behind and wrap my arms around her. "She was like a little sister." She whispers. "I know Abbs, I know. I loved her like a daughter, just like I love you."

"I'd hate to break up this little mourning scene but there's someone you have to see." Said voice from behind. I turn around to see Fornell standing there. "What Tobias?" I bark angrily.

"You can come out now." He said to the door and Abby looks confused until a brown haired pretty eyed girl comes through the door, she's wearing a black tank top and white shorts. Kate she was standing right there! Abby gasps and jumps out of her chair. Tears begin well up in her pretty eyes as she stares at Abby.

I was standing outside of Abby's door. Goth, peppy, happy, Abby. Strange she didn't have her music on. I didn't know how I was going to explain t her or the team how I was still alive, but I didn't have much time to think about it because Fornell told me I could come out.

As I step into the lab Abby looks at me and jumps out of her chair. She looks way different, no lipstick, no pigtails, and tears on her face. I felt tears come in my eyes as I stare at my best friend. "Abby." I whisper as I begin to walk to her.

"K-Kate?" She asked as if she was unsure. I nod and she runs at me and wraps me in a bear hug. Tears were now going down my face. As soon as Abby lets go of me I look at Gibbs. He had green watery eyes. I had never seen Gibbs crying or have watery eyes so it was a first for me. Pulling me into a hug he kisses my forehead.

"You're alive." He whispers. "Yes." I reply with a smile.

"I oughta head slap you." He growls still holding onto me. "Do you have any idea what you put us through? What you put me through?" He demanded.

"Gibbs it was hard for me too." I whisper. "I didn't want to leave any of you. But it's all over now, I have my pretty Goth sister and my head slapping father again." Then Abby throws her arms around me too, which was weird because Gibbs was hugging me too. But I didn't care I had my father on one side and my sister on the other.

Just then Tony walks in with a woman and Tim. Tony and Tim stares at the three of us for a moment and the women looks very confused. Gibbs kisses my forehead then Abby's before letting me go. "K-K-Kate?" McGee asked. I had tears in my eyes again.

"Yep it's me Tim." I walk up to him and throw me arms around him, and to my relief he wraps his arms around me too. Once he lets me go I grin at Tony.

"Hey sex-machine." I joke. He also hugs me. "How?" He asked.

"I would gladly explain that once this hugging fest is over." Fornell tells us dryly. Once I let go of Tony Fornell started to explain. "Right before Kate went with the rest of you to take out the terrorists we found out Ari wanted to kill her so we swapped her out with a fake Kate and a shadow died on the rooftop."

"A shadow?" Tony asked confused.

"Tony in your language it means someone that looks like you, that talks like you, and that act's like you." I say to him teasingly.

"And you couldn't tell us?" Gibbs growled. "No you wouldn't have acted the way you did." Fornell tells him which makes Gibbs scowl.

"You couldn't tell us after it was all over?" He asked angrily.

"No we didn't know if there were any other threats. And sadly Kate has to go back in hiding." He tells us which shocks us all.

"Why?" I demand. I had just gotten my family back and now he's taking me away again? That was so wrong.

"Not happening. How would you feel if Emily was supposedly killed and then returned to you five years later and now the FBI is taking her away again?" Gibbs tells him forcefully.

"She's my daughter Gibbs that's different."

"It's no different, Kate's good enough to be mine." He wraps his arms around me keeping me from Fornell. I'm surprised he hasn't killed him yet.

"She has to go into hiding again because Ari isn't dead." He tells me and I freeze.

"What?" I ask.

"While you all were having a hugging fest I got a call from the morgue, it seems we made a mistake, the body in the coffin in Israel isn't Ari's it's a shadow my people screwed up the DNA test."

"What?" Demanded the women Tony and McGee were with. "It seems your half-brother is alive Ziva." Fornell tells her. I gasp. So this was Ari's sister. Fornell told me about her but I never dreamed she would be taking my place.

"Oh your Ziva." I tell her.

"Yes." She replied rather coldly. I wondered what her problem was. "Then Kate will stay at my place." Gibbs tells him. I smile up warmly at him and he returns the smile.

"Now if you'll excuse us Fornell we've got to go tell Ducky Kate's alive." Abby said as she shoved me and Gibbs to the elevator. I sighed and leaned into Gibbs, my loving father, and now I was going to see my wise grandfather.

But Ari was really bugging me for some reason, his kind eyes and beautiful face was what I saw in my head as the elevator doors closed.

What do you guy's think? Leave? Continue? It's up to you guys.
