SETTING THE SCENE

Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Jenny Shepard have been married for five years, and they adopted four kids from the foster system, after they lost their two young daughters, Kelly and Kate- one to leukemia and one to tuberculosis.

Jenny Shepard Gibbs entered the kitchen to see her adopted children already eating breakfast at the kitchen table. A ghost of a smile slipped past her own lips as she prepared some coffee for herself and her husband.

"So mom, what are we doing today?" Her oldest child, fifteen year old Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo Gibbs, asked.

Tony DiNozzo was the first child Jethro and Jenny adopted. His original family consisted of just him and his father- his mother died when he was one years old in a car accident. His father was arrested by Gibbs when someone claimed on the NCIS tip hotline that Tony's father was a contract killer for the mob. With nowhere to go except social services, Jethro and Jenny adopted the young boy. Once Tony moved in, he gradually fixed Jethro and Jenny's broken marriage and... well, the rest is history.

"Well Tony, we are going to the beach today. I want a family day so we can all hang out plus Daddy wants to test out his newly finished boat," Jenny answered.

"But Mama, why can't me and Abby go to the science center today?" Little seven year old Timothy 'Tim/Timmy' McGee Gibbs questioned.

"Because Timmy, daddy planned this weeks ago," his adopted mother, Jenny replied.

Timothy McGee was the second child to be adopted by the Gibbs, a few months after Tony's adoption was legalized. What happened to Tim's parents is still unknown. During the time they fostered Tim, Tony secretly went to his parents and begged them to adopt Tim because he always wanted a little brother. After months of Tony nagging, his parents finally relented and filed papers to finalized Tim's adoption.

"And no one can change daddy's mind!" Nine year old Abigail 'Abby' Sciuto Gibbs excitedly added.

Six months later after Tony and Tim, Abby Sciuto came into the picture. Left on the steps of a church, Abby was raised by nuns for a few years before she came home one day and discovered the church was burnt down by an arsonist. Dumped into the foster system, Abby landed on the steps of the Gibbs' home with her caseworker, and when Leroy Jethro Gibbs opened the door on that fateful day, he instantly adored the small little girl with her flowing black hair up in pigtails and her innocent hazel green eyes peering up at him. When his wife saw the young girl, she was instantly brought to tears of happiness. Tony and Tim immediately took a liking to Abby, and that was all their parents needed to start Abby's adoption papers that night.

"Well, McGeek, the science center will be there tomorrow; besides, I doubt you can convince dad to go anywhere else- especially because he's testing out his new boat today, which means, chick magnet baby!" Tony proclaimed.

"What is this 'chick magnet' you speak of Tony?" Ten year old Ziva David Gibbs questioned.

Ziva David was the last child the Gibbs adopted. When Jethro was placed on a NCIS assignment located in Israel, he found the young Israeli clinging to her dead sister's remains - there he learned her whole family got killed in the missile strike that took place the night before. After convincing Ziva to come with him back to NCIS base camp, Jethro pulled some strings as well as some favors, and he flew back to America with Ziva in tow. When Jethro arrived home with Ziva, Abby welcomed the young Israeli into her new home, then turned to her father stating, "it's about time you got me a sister!" Her brothers, as well as her mother and even Ziva laughed at Abby's comment.

"In due time you will understand Zee-vah," said Tony, as he dragged out his sister's name.

"Well Ziva I think a chick magnet is-" Abby began.

"My boat is a what Tony?" Jethro asked his son, as greeted his wife and took his mug of morning coffee from her.

"N-nothing dad," Tony stuttered.

Ziva snickered a laugh, as well as Tim and Abby; their older brother always got in trouble and they loved watching him melt under their dad's stare.

Satisfied that he was off the hook, Tony was about to eat another spoon of cereal, when his father slapped him on the back of his head, causing his cereal filled spoon to get sprayed across the kitchen table.

"Ow!" Tony whined.

"My boat is not a 'chick magnet' Tony. Ziva, would you like to use the jet ski first?" Jethro asked his second oldest.

"I would love to Abba!" Ziva excitedly accepted, knowing Tony wanted to use the jet ski first.

Tony, not one to lose, stuck his tongue out and crossed his eyes at Ziva, trying to gross her out.

"Tony stop what you're doing right now otherwise I'll ground you to beach so you will stay with your mom, Abby and Tim all day," Jethro stated, before heading out to the garage to hook up the boat to the family car.

Tony dropped his spoon into his cereal bowl, with shocked expression on his face.

"How did he even know?" Tony asked aloud.

"Well Tony, daddy sees and knows everything, duh! It's like he's Santa Claus!" Abby loudly whispered.

Tim and Ziva joined their younger sister in laughter while Tony sat there, dumbfounded.

"Well Abby, you see I've got something to tell you about Santa..." Tony evilly began.

"Anthony Leonardo DiNozzo Gibbs, if you finish that sentence you will wish Santa brings you coal this year!" His mother challenged.

"Never mind," Tony squeaked.

"Jen, are the kids ready yet? Daylight's a wastin'," Jethro asked as he poked his head into the kitchen.

Jenny took a breath before answering her husband. "Yes Jethro, we'll be out in a minute."

She turned to her kids, whose eyes were locked onto her, awaiting orders.

"Tim help Tony carry the cooler out to the car and remember to grab the beach chairs. Ziva and Abby, make sure to grab towels for everyone and toss them into the beach bag that can be found in the towel closet. Anchors away sailors!" Jenny ordered.

Tim and Tony replied with, "Yes ma'am!" While Abby and Ziva replied with a salute and "aye aye captain!" Before they bounded off to perform their designated tasks.

As Jenny reached for the bottles of sunscreen, she yelled, "it's the other hand girls!" Before heading out to the family car to anxiously await the start a day of family fun at Silver Sands Beach.
