Ok a lot of my stories are coming to the end so I thought I would start a new one. Hope you like it and please review. Jenny and Gibbs have never met before in this story so it's very AU.
Friends, family and falling in love.
Chapter 1
Leroy Jethro Gibbs sat in what used to be his daughters room.
His wife Shannon and their daughter Kelly had died many years ago. It was time that he moved on, he had gotten his revenge there was nothing left to do except move forward.
As he sat looking at all the toys and things that sat in his daughter's old room he knew that they deserved to be used, to be loved.
Gibbs had always loved children so decided to take a big step and make one child's life hopefully better. He looked at his watch and realised it was time for him to leave.
Twenty minutes later and he arrived at the adoption agency.
"Mr Gibbs, you can go in" the woman behind the receptionist desk said and Gibbs stood up, nodded as a way of saying thank you before walking into the office she had motioned to.
"Good morning Mr Gibbs" Mrs Thomas the head of the agency said standing up behind her desk as the silver hairs marine walked in and sat down in front of her.
"All your paper work seems to be in order and the child services have approved everything so today is the day you get to make a child very happy" she said with a big grin.
Gibbs nodded with a smile as the woman got up and he followed her towards a room. As they approached the door the sound of child's laughter and chatting grew louder and louder.
The friendly woman opened the door and Gibbs smiled as he saw loads of children all different ages playing, chatting and just generally having fun. "You can talk to some of the children and once you have reached a decision you can come back to my office but leave the child here"
Gibbs nodded "Thank you" he said before turning back to the children as he heard the door shut behind him.
'It's gunna take me hours to decide' Gibbs thought looking at all the children.
The all of a sudden Gibbs noticed a little pigtailed girl sitting in the corner reading to herself and a purple Hippo that was situated under her arm reading out loud and enthusiastically.
"Hey sweetie what's your name?" Gibbs asked crouching down to her height.
The little girl looked at him smiling. Her green eye's meeting his blue "My name is Abby and this is Bert" she said showing him the purple hippo "What's your name?" she asked curiously.
"My name's Mr Gibbs" he said with a smile already feeling a strong connection to the little raven haired girl.
"Nice to meet you Mr Gibbs" she said her smiled moving into more of a grin.
"How old are you Abby?" Gibbs asked.
"I'm five almost six" she said holding up five fingers.
Gibbs then spent the next ten minutes trying to get to know Abby, he had learnt that she knew a small amount of sign language, she was also very smart for her age and also very hipper and full of energy.
"What do you work as Mr Gibbs?" Abby asked
"I'm a cop" Gibbs answered wondering how she would react.
"Cool" Abby said looking at him with her big green eye's full of excitement.
"I'll be back in a minute" Gibbs said patting Abby on the top of the head.
She nodded before turning back to her book. Gibbs smiled getting up from his place on the floor by the bubbly girl.
"Have you made your decision?" Mrs Thomas asked looking up as Gibbs entered her office.
"Yes I have" he said sitting down in the chair opposite her.
"Who is it then? She asked leaning forward on her chair.
"a little girl called Abby, pigtails and a purple hippo called Bert" Gibbs explained.
"Oh Abby, she is a sweetie isn't she, but be warned she can be very hyper at times"
"I think I can handle it" Gibbs said with a smile reaching for the form he would have to fill out.
An hour later Gibbs was helping Abby into his car "Bye Mrs Thomas" Abby said hugging the old friendly lady.
"Bye Abby" she said smiling at the little girl that had been in the adoption agency ever since she was a baby but was now finally getting a father who could care and look after her and give her the affection she deserved.
Twenty minutes later and Abby and Gibbs arrived at home "I hope you like it" Gibbs said opening the front door with his hand that wasn't carrying Abby suite case's.
Abby looked around, her green eyes taking in the beige walls and wooden flooring "Come on I'll show you to your room" Gibbs said walking past Abby and starting to walk up the stairs when he turned to Abby "You coming?" he asked.
The raven haired girl nodded eagerly before running past him her pigtails flying.
Gibbs then opened to door to her new bedroom. "Do you like it?" Gibbs asked.
Abby ran in and jumped onto the bed and began to laugh with joy "I love it thank you" she said looking at the purple walls and light wooden floor. The room had everything she could ever want, a wardrobe, desk and chair, book shelves and a chest of draws.
"Do you like Pizza?" Gibbs asked and Abby nodded eagerly.
Gibbs chuckled to himself, this sure was going to be fun.
Meanwhile…
Jenny Shepard was sitting reading a book in the study of her big George Town house that had once been a family home. Her family's home but then her parents got a divorce, her mother moved away along with her sister. Then her father had killed himself leaving the house to her all alone.
She sighed feeling very unhappy with her life, when she was younger she thought that she would be married and have kids by now but no instead she had a job she loved but no children to take care of and spoil and no husband to come home to.
The red head was brought from her thoughts by the sound of knocking on her front door.
Jenny got up and walked to her front door wondering who would be knocking. "Hello" Jenny said.
"Are you Jennifer Shepard?" the woman with a thick Israeli accent asked.
"Yes" Jenny asked confused.
"I'm sorry to tell you that Rivka Davis has been killed" at the mention of her best friends name tears sprang to her eyes. She and Rivka had worked together all around the world on antiterrorists ops they had become best friends after saving each other's lives multiple times.
"In her will she has put down that you are the guardian of her two children, Ari and Ziva David should anything happen to her "the woman said as a boy at the age of ten came out from behind her holding the hand of a little girl who was the exact image of her mother who was about five maybe six.
TBC…
