Ok ok I know I know I am starting another story before finishing the other two but you know me. When an idea comes into my head I have to start putting it on paper. I want to thank NCISVU for the inspiration for this story!

Ch1

Kate Dinozzo nervously shook her knee as the waiting was killing her. Her husband Tony grabbed her hand.

"Hey. Katie-girl its ok. We are almost there. Soon we are going to be taking her home and we will finally have a family."

Because Kate and Tony were having trouble conceiving a child of their own they decided to adopt and today they were bringing home a 4 year old girl named Olivia. They already knew so much about her: For the past two years she was in numerous foster homes when her parents were killed in a plane crash and she had no living relatives. The last foster people that she was with the people both lost their jobs and they couldn't care for her anymore so she was staying with the agency for now. Tony and Kate not that long ago watched her playing in a room through the window. She seemed very happy and sweet and always smiling. They could tell she had a good personality. They fell in love with her instantly and knew she was the one that they wanted. They had to wait weeks and finally the day came and Kate was nervous as hell.

"Tony what if she doesn't like us? What if she hates us? What if we make her unhappy?"

Tony put her arm around her and kissed her head.

"You've seen her Katie. She seems happy even after all she has been through, and not only will we make her feel at home and loved you know the team will too."

The team he was talking about was their NCIS team: their boss Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, their little Probie Tim McGee, their Forensics Specialist Abby Sciuto and their medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard.

Before Kate could speak a woman named Beth walked out of an office holding a folder.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dinozzo?"

They got up and followed her into the office. They met with her weeks before as she told them everything they needed to know and set up all the paper work for them. She sat in her chair across from Tony and Kate and smiled.

"Well it looks like the day has finally come. Olivia knows she will be staying with you two and that you are adopting her. She is a little nervous and shy but excited as well. She doesn't remember her parents all that well so she is glad she is finally getting a more permanent home. However like I said she is still nervous. She let me know she doesn't want to call you Mommy and Daddy yet."

Tony smiled.

"Its ok. She can call us whatever she wants, just as long as she knows we love her already and we are there for her. Theres no rush".

Beth smiled and continued.

"She is also nervous about starting a new pre-school in the fall. I know it is only July but she loved her old pre-school and she is afraid she wont make any friends."

Kate looked at Tony and then back at Beth.

"We understand but she wont be alone. Our very good friends Abby and Tim Mcgee; their son Conner will be in the same pre-school. They will have fun together."

Beth smiled and got up.

"Well come and lets go meet your new daughter."

Kate and Tony held hands as they were led down the hall to Olivias room. Beth opened the door and revealed a little girl sitting on the bed playing with her baby doll. She had long brown hair that was in a pony tail, and beautiful big brown eyes. She looked at Tony and Kate and shyly looked away. Beth walked over to her and sat down next to her. She put an arm around her and smiled.

"Olivia sweetie; this is Tony and Kate. They are the ones I told you about. They are looking forward to taking you home."

Olivia looked at them and then shyly looked down. Tony and Kate walked over to her and introduced themselves.

"Hi Olivia. I'm Kate and this Tony. We are so glad to finally meet you and we cant wait to take you home with us."

Tony kneeled down in front of her and she shyly looked up at him.

"Hey there. Wow you are a beautiful child. I know you are shy right now and that's ok. You take all the time you need and soon we will be doing lots of things ok?"

Olivia nodded and jumped off the bed holding her doll. Tony grabbed her suit case and Kate held out her hand to the four year old. After a moments hesitation she latched on and Kate smiled at her and Olivia smiled back. Kate spoke.

"You are going to love your new home Olivia. I promise."

They walked out to the car and Tony put Olivias suit case in the trunk as Kate buckled her in her special seat in the back. They got in and Tony drove off. Olivia stared out the window and Kate tried to speak to her.

"So Olivia. What is your dolls name?"

Olivia smiled.

"Her name is Lisa after my Mommy. Beth told me all about her and my Daddy. Are you two my Mommy and Daddy now?"

Kate and Tony looked at each other and Kate turned back to Olivia and smiled.

"Well yes we are your parents now, but if you don't want to call us Mommy and Daddy right now its ok. You can call us Kate and Tony. We understand. Just remember no matter what Lisa will always be your Mommy."

Olivia smiled.

"Thank you Tony. Thank you Kate. I cant wait to see my new home."

Tony smiled at her in the rear view mirror.

"That's great Olivia because we have a few surprises for you when we get there."

Olivia clapped her hands and got excited and Kate laughed. She was so glad they could put a smile on her face.

Tony pulled up to a white two story house with flowers around the front. He shut the car off and he got out as Kate got out on the other side and took Olivia out of her seat. Tony got her suitcase out of the trunk and closed it. Kate put her down and she took one of Kates hand and one of Tonys hands and they turned and walked to the porch. Kate and Tony smiled at each other and then down at Olivia. Tony put her suitcase down and opened the door. All three walked in and Tony shut the door behind them.

Olivia looked around with wide eyes as a little dog ran towards her. She looked scared and held onto Kate as Tony grabbed the dog by the collar.

"Its ok Olivia. This is Rosie. She is a friendly dog. See? She wants to give you a kiss."

Olivia looked at the dog and hesitantly walked away from Kate and towards Rosie. She held out her hand and giggled as the dog licked her hand. She felt more comfortable and leaned down and started to pet Rosie. Kate smiled.

"She is one of your surprised. How about a few more?"

Olivia smiled and got up. She nodded at Kate who took her out back as Tony brought her suitcase up stairs. Olivias eyes lit up as she saw an in ground pool and beyond that was a swing set. She got so excited she jumped up and down.

"Is that swing set for me? I love it!"

Kate giggled.

"Yes it is all yours. Your Grandpa Gibbs made it just for you." She looked at Kate confused.

"My Grandpa Gibbs?"

Kate leaned down to her level.

"Yes your Grandpa Gibbs. He is my boss and is Tonys boss too. We work at a place called NCIS. We capture bad guys. He is like a father to Tony and me so he will be your Grandfather. You will meet him and the rest of our team on Monday ok?"

Tony and Kate decided it would be best to have the weekend alone with Olivia so she wouldn't be overwhelmed and this way they could get to know her more and vice versa.

Tony walked out at that moment and walked over to the two of them. He leaned down to their level and looked at Olivia.

"How about we show you your room? I think you are going to love it."

Olivia smiled excitedly and Tony laughed and put out his arms.

"May I?"

She nodded and he scooped her up and carried her inside with Kate following. They walked upstairs and Tony walked down the hall to her room where the door was closed. He opened it and her eyes lit up. He put her down and she walked in.

"Wow! I love it! This is really my room?"

Kate kneeled down and put her arm around her.

"This room really is yours Olivia. Go ahead and take a look."

The walls were painted ocean blue. Blue was her favorite color but what really made her excited were the fish and mermaids that were painted on the walls. She loved the water and loved to swim in the ocean. Her bedspread was blue with starfish all over it. Her nightlight was in the shape of a mermaid, and her carpet was an ocean pattern with sea weed and coral all over it. In one corner was a desk with a lap top, and in another corner was a book case filled with books. Against the wall across from her bed was an ocean themed toy box filled with toys.

She walked over to the book case and squealed when she saw her favorite books: The Giving Tree, Good Night Moon, some Sesame Street books and a few chapter books. Tony and Kate walked over to her and kneeled down and put their arms around her. Tony spoke.

"We are glad you like your room. Your Aunt Abby did your walls and your rug, and your Uncle Timmy he got you the books. We know how much you love the ocean and mermaids and we know how much you love to read. Kate and I we got you the lap top so you can play your games your Uncle Timmy also got you. However he has to show you how to play them because I have no idea."

Olivia giggled.

"Who are my Aunt Abby and Uncle Timmy?"

Kate picked her up and sat down on the bed and put her on her lap.

"They work with Tony and me too at NCIS. They are married and they have a little boy your age his name is Conner. You are going to love playing with him."

Olivia looked around the room and then back at Kate and then across the room at Tony.

"Thank you so much for my room. I love it."

Tony sat down on the bed next to her.

"Its our pleasure Olivia. Welcome home."

You like how I chose the name Olivia? Just a little tribute to Michael Weatherly!
