Boy Meets Girl

Kate POV

Who knew that there was an hour that resembled 6 am, if you had sleep? But at last it's here, the day I move into my first house.

Even though there are five children in my family, I am the only one who Mum and dad brought a house for. In my family the oldest is Rachel, she is a psychologist and married with kids. Actual kids as well as children, her husband Derrick is a goat farmer, back home in Indiana. Then there's Shaun. He is a lawyer, who is married to Stephanie and living in the same one horse town Indiana, we were all born in. They don't have any children yet because Stephanie is a cold prude who spends more time cheating on my brother and spending all his hard earned money before he gets it in his hand. She is a model and a gold-digger. The next brother is Jimmy, he's an accountant and he joined dad's accounting firm right out of university, where he met and married Tina all within a year. Tina's pregnant. Lucky last is Mike and I.

I was the surprise, Mum and Dad weren't expecting twins till the nurse said "Don't go too far Mr. Todd, the next ones on its way." As the story goes Dad stopped dead in his tracks and fainted dead away. Anyways, Mike and I get along the best. Mum always said it's the bond we have because we are twins. Mike is the most awesome person I know. When he was 18, he told us he was gay. We were all ok and understood him; we are all a loving supportive family. EXCEPT for when it comes to my choices. Anyhow Mike and his partner Dan are the only ones who support me and my decisions fully. Mike and Dan live and work in D.C like me.

The deal was when I graduated from FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Centre) if I hadn't snagged myself a husband Mum and Dad would use the money that they were saving for my wedding and buy a house for me. So today, I'm super excited and I have been packing for weeks Mike and Dan are coming to help me move and set up everything in the new house.

Gibbs POV

Finally, a day off! Not that I mind work, I enjoy my job but this case was hard on all of us especially DiNozzo. We were away at sea for three weeks on the case and all the housework won't do itself. All of my ex wives kept insisting that. Learnt that lesson the hard way too. The Indian summer is warmer than usual this year. So I need to take advantage of that, and get some yard work done. It is only 0600 but I can tell it's going to be the perfect day.

By 0800 my street is a hustle and bustle of people and cars right next door; I must be getting new neighbours. It is funny, I don't even remember the Gladman's moving out.

Above all the din, I hear the sweetest voice in the world. It sounds as if the voice is in my backyard and I look up. There she is. The sweetest brunette on the entire planet. Now, everyone who knows me knows that I fancy the redheads. But I kid you not I have a new favourite.

"Excuse me" she stood as she entered through the back gate onto the property. It is only now that I take everything else around me in and I notice two big, strong men behind her.

"So sorry about that, what can I do you for ma'am?" I asked politely.

"I'm Caitlin Todd, you can call me Kate. I was wondering you can help me put some cabinets together. See my dofus brother Mike here" she pointed to the dark haired one wearing Nike tanks and basketball shorts. "Hit his hand with the hammer and he thinks he broke a bone and sulky Dan here." She indicates to the other one wearing jeans a t-shirt. "Doesn't want him to go to the hospital alone. He wants to be there to hold his hand. LITERALLY." she babbles, it's the first thing I noticed, and I think that it's adorable.

"You know, you shouldn't invite people into your home that you don't know. They might attack you." I said gruffly at her. True it was a safe neighbourhood but there are real whack jobs no matter where you are.

"Excuse Me!" she argued back furiously. "One I am a trained federal agent with the secret service trained to take a bullet if necessary. And two. Listen up this one is important! Eve Gladman, you remember her. Sweet old lady broke her hip and had to move out of this gorgeous house? She told me that I could trust you to help me because you are a nice guy and that you're a federal agent t with NCIS. And that if you don't I'm under strict instructions to call her and she said she will make you. Said she has ways." She made the cutest pout I couldn't resist.

So I dropped what I was doing and went to play handyman. Then a thought crossed my mind and it worried me. "How exactly did your last handyman break his hand?" I ask slightly hesitant.

"Mike's gay, can't trust him with a hammer. He doesn't know which end you use. He was trying to impress Dan. Dan's even worse I'm afraid. When you're in a bind, you can't work with what you aunt got." She flipped and lead me on over to her side of the fence.
