Leroy Jethro Gibbs thought he would never he would have a family again well a real one anyway. Sure he had his NCIS family whom he loved with all his heart that was different though. Secretly he yearned for the love a real family. Unfortunately after a string of failed relationship and losses he just assumed that would never happen. That was about to change.
It was a Friday afternoon when his life was changed forever. He was sitting at his desk filling out paperwork. McGee and Tony were talking about a movie they had rented the night before that apparently had very hot actresses and a lot of sexual scenes. While Ziva pretended to be disgusted but anytime Gibbs shot disapproving glares to try to shut them up. She had a huge smile on her face and tears in her eyes attempting to fight off laughter. Suddenly his phone rang.
"Hi dad"
"No. When?"
"I am so sorry."
"When's the funeral?"
"Yeah I can get some time off."
"Yes I understand."
"I'll be there tomorrow."
"Yeah bye"
"Boss what's wrong?" Tony asked.
"My cousin and his wife were killed by a drunk driver last night." Gibbs explained.
"I'm sorry." Ziva replied.
"Yeah Boss that's terrible." McGee added.
"Is there anything I can do?" Tony asked.
"Come with me I need to uh talk about your Lead Agent duties." Gibbs replied.
Tony followed Gibbs to the director's office where he requested the time off. Once he had been approved he and Tony walked down the hall and entered the elevator together.
"So Boss what do I need to know? I mean I was lead agent for four months once?" Tony asked.
"It's not about your lead agent duties. In fact McGee is in charge." Gibbs replied.
"So what I'm not good enough?" Tony asked masking his hurt.
"No T you are good enough but you are going with me." Gibbs replied.
"Why?" Tony asked.
"I need moral support and you are my loyal St. Bernard." Gibbs replied.
"Were you close to him? Your cousin?" Tony asked.
"We were best friends growing up. That's not what I'm struggling with though." Gibbs explained.
"Then what?" Tony asked.
"My cousin and his wife had twins." Gibbs replied.
"Why is that upsetting you so much?" Tony asked.
"I've been named their guardian." Gibbs replied.
A/N: What do you think should I continue? If yes I need some help with the names of the twins. I know the girl's names are Kelly and Elizabeth. Should her name be Kelly Elizabeth or Elizabeth Kelly? The boy's first name will be Jackson I just need his middle name. Thanks please review.
A/N2: Sorry for not updating "Just Like Family" today. I went to a meeting last night and decided fairly last minute and as a result didn't have much time for fanfiction. I was somewhat writers blocked and did't want to rush anything. This however was mostly written and just needed to be edited a bit.
