15 year old Abby Gibbs was bouncing up and down with excitement, today her new adopted sister Ziva was arriving from Israel.

Abby herself had been adopted by Jenny and Jethro Gibbs when she was a baby. She had never known them as anything else than mom and dad.

Her mom, Jenny worked as the director of the federal agency NCIS. Her dad was the lead investigator of the NCIS MCRT (Major Case Response Team). They both were very loving parents and were great to Abby.

Recently, Abby's parents had been working a case with Mossad. The case had ended in tragedy and the director of Mossad, Eli David had been killed. He had been survived by only his 15 year old daughter.

Once Jenny and Gibbs had discovered that his daughter Ziva had nowhere to go, they had instantly offered to adopt her. Normally the process would take longer, but since Jen and Gibbs had friends in high places, they were able to officially adopt Ziva in less than a month.

At the moment, Abby, Gibbs and Jenny were in the car, driving to the airport in order to pick Ziva up. They arrived at Dulles Airport and went directly to the international terminal. Abby bounced up and down, the chains on her Gothic attire jangling as she bounced. Within 15 minutes, the Gibbs family spotted a teenage girl walking alone. She had olive skin, brown frizzy hair tied up with a headband and was wearing cargo pants and a loose fitting shirt.

The family walked towards them, Abby leading them.

"Hi, you must be Ziva! I'm Abby Gibbs, your new adoptive sister! Oh my gosh we're going to have so much fun! I've always wanted a sister!"

"Abby, give the girl some room to breathe. Hello Ziva I'm Jenny Gibbs. How was your flight?"

"It was uneventful Mrs. Gibbs. Thank you for asking."

"Please, call me Jenny."

"Alright, thank you Jenny."

Gibbs than stuck out his hand. "Hi Ziva. Jethro Gibbs, but you can just call me Gibbs."

"Hello Gibbs."

"Well, shall we go get your bags and head home?" Jenny asked.

"Alright." Ziva replied.

"The family reached the baggage check, Abby babbling incessantly. Hardly anyone could understand a single word she said.

"Whoa Abs, slow down. You're talking at about a mile a minute, no one can understand you." Gibbs told his daughter.

"After about a week or so, she'll slow down." Jenny told Ziva.

"This one's mine." Ziva said, pointing at a fairly large black suitcase that was just passing them.

Gibbs grabbed the bag and Abby asked, "Don't you have anything else? If I were to move, I would have like 7 bags bigger than that."

"No, that is all." Ziva replied. Then the Gibbs family climbed into the car and drove to the Gibbs family's modest home. It was a two story brick home in downtown DC. There were nice homes on either side and the house had a nice backyard. There was a pool and a nice patio. Abby had rigged a nice stereo system and they used the backyard often.

Abby dragged Ziva through the house. "Here is the living room, and the kitchen, and mom's study, dad's office is upstairs. The basement has a TV area and dad's boat. Dad is always building a boat, he loves it. Our rooms are upstairs." Abby dragged Ziva past the spacious kitchen, the comfortable looking living room, and the nice study. Then she dragged Ziva up the stairs. They opened the first door on the left when they got upstairs. Abby's room had black walls, and an overall Gothic theme. There were posters for bands like Brain Matter on the wall, and there was a rather impressive computer setup. It appeared that Abby was very proficient with technology. The bookshelf on the wall held many books on forensics and other sciences. "Well, this is my room, it's my favorite room in the house. Your room is across the hall."

Abby and Ziva crossed the hall and entered Ziva's room. The walls were a turquoise color and there was a desk with a laptop on one wall. The wall opposite the door held a closet door and dresser. There was a queen sized bed with turquoise bedding.

"Oh my gosh Abby, I love this room, it looks so comfortable and homey."

"I'm glad you like it, I helped mom and dad pick it out. "

"Thank you, it means a lot to me."

Then the two girls headed downstairs where Jenny had started dinner. They helped out and got a delicious meal on the table in no time. Jenny had made a pasta with alfredo sauce and shrimp tossed in. There was also a salad and garlic bread.

The family dug into the meal and ate hungrily.

Ziva spoke up. "Thank you so much for doing this for me. It really means a lot. I love my room."

"It's our pleasure. It will be fun having another girl Abby's age in the house. Jethro and I have always wanted children, but we found we couldn't have any on our own. We adopted Abby when she was a month old and know we're very happy to have you." Jenny replied.

"It is very different here than Israel. The weather is a lot cooler and the general atmosphere seems safer."

"Well, in general, America is a safer place than Israel. And yes, our climate is much cooler climate. By the way, Ziva what did you do for schooling in Israel?"

"Well, I attended our local high school, I was a freshman. After school, I usually ran multiple miles and I completed weapons training with my father."

Abby spit out her water. "I'm sorry, did you say weapons training?"

"Yes, I believe my father intended me to join Mossad when I turned 16. Also, in Israel, all citizens are required to serve in the military."

"Well, I can guarantee you won't have weapons classes at school." Gibbs said. He was sliently reeling. This girl was used to an entirely different world. This could be a hard start for her.

"Well that is good. I did not much want to become a heartless assassin like so many of the teenagers I have seen. I did not want to become what my brother was."

Jenny was shocked. It was a good thing they had this girl. It was unthinkable to use a child as a weapon, to teach them to kill and not feel was just horrible.

"School is out right now, but when it starts, you and Abby will both be sophomores at DC North High school."

"Ohmygosh it's going to be so much fun! I can't wait for you to meet Timmy and Kate and everyone!"

"Well, we were thinking of having a party tomorrow night for you to meet all of our friends."

"That sounds like it will be fun." Ziva said with a yawn.

"You must be very tired after the long flight. Time for bed. Abby, you can go up to your room for awhile, lights out at midnight." Jenny said.

Abby and Ziva traipsed upstairs and Ziva went straight to sleep, ready to start her new life with her new family.

AN: What did you think? Don't worry, you'll meet everyone else next chapter. I've always seen Abby as Jenny's and Gibbs' adoptive daughter and Ziva as their adoptive daughter. I'll reveal every one else's relationships in the next chapter. Please tell me what you think

Thanks
