Life As it Could Have Been

by JibbsRibbsNCISMotiveLover

AU story in which Kate and Jenny do not die. We follow Elizabeth Caitlin Rutter and Team Gibbs through life starting the day Lizzie becomes a Field Agent. Many bumps will come up, will the team survive? or will they break apart? Read to find out. Some very mild anger issues and minor swearing ahead. Warning chapter 5 contains the use of the word hell many times. Enjoy.

1. Prologue Introduction

This is my first NCIS fanfiction. Honestly I did not even start watching the show until about 2 1/2 months ago but as of an hour ago I have officially caught up. This story is going to be AU as some of the character deaths in the show do not occur in this. We learn a way that it is possible (though the way is not one that is realistic but that is the beauty of fiction) and we see relationships develop that we wish had developed in the show. Anyway enjoy.

Disclaimer:This is the only one you are going to see for the story so I own absolutely nothing other than Lizzie, Jessica, Kyle, Jackson (the baby), Nathan, adult Kelly, currently 8 year old Kelly, Joseph, William, Zachary, Sophia, Eric and the twins. All of whom you will meet eventually and learn a little about them.

Prologue

September 19th

Dear Diary,

I am finally able to say that I am one of the new agents of NCIS who will probably move on to the MCRT whose leader is none other than the famous Leroy Jethro Gibbs. If I am placed on this team I would be placed with my uncle Tony, he married my Aunt Caitlin (whom I am named after) when I was eleven years old, our family friend Timothy McGee, Ziva David aka Uncle Tony's new girlfriend and last but not least Agent Gibbs. I can't wait until next month to get my assignment!

Dear Diary,

Today is my first day on Team Gibbs, officially as an agent anyway, I am only two days short of my twentieth birthday. I am starting to slip back into my usual feeling of guilt as I share a birthday with my Aunt Kate and we can't spend this time together yet again. You see she died when I was about twelve years old. But let's get on with the happier stories now shall we?
