Well Kept Secrets
A/N: So this story has been sitting on my desktop for quite a while because frankly I just forgot about it. It's weird and quirky, but I hope you like it!


"What is there to understand, Ziva?"

"How can you have two different sports, both named football, that are completely different?"

Tony groaned and rubbed his hands over his face. "Football in American refers to…well…football. Anywhere else in the world, the same name is given to soccer."

Ziva smirked. "I'm aware of that, Tony. Why do Americans have to be different than everyone else? You refuse to call it football and you won't use the metric system."

Tony thought for minute; she had a point. "I guess we're just stubborn."

McGee chuckled to himself and grabbed for his ringing phone. "McGee…yeah…I thought you said 5 o'clock…ok, yeah…yeah come on up." He placed the phone back in its cradle and rubbed his hands over his face. This was not good.

"Who was that McGoo?"

Tim rolled his eyes. "No one." He hoped that Tony would just let it drop, but that was highly unlikely.

Tony stood from his chair and sauntered over to McGee's desk. "No one? So no one was supposed to meet you at 5 o'clock? And no one is coming up as we speak?" From her desk, Ziva did her best to hide a small smile, while still trying to watch the interaction.

"Just let it go, Tony." McGee did his best to ignore the senior field agent and finish up the report in front of him. He only had a few moments before all hell broke loose and he didn't need paper work on top of that.

"Ziva? Does it seem to you that McGoo is being secretive again?"

Before Ziva could speak her reply, the elevator dinged and out stepped a woman that caught everyone's attention. Her long brunette hair was straightened to perfection and hung well past her shoulders. Her olive skin was set off by a pair of beautiful green eyes. She was dressed casually in a pair of dark jeans and a blue sweater. To say that she was attractive was an understatement. To say she bore a striking resemblance to Ziva was comical.

Immediately Tony straightened his tie and turned on the charm. "Hi there. Can I help—"

"DADDY!" A little boy dashed past the woman's legs and took off across the bullpen. He covered the space in seconds flat and threw himself into McGee's outstretched arms. He was lifted off the ground as his little arms encircled Tim's neck and squeezed tightly.

"Hey, buddy. How are you?" McGee asked kissing the boy's cheek.

"Good." He dropped his hands to McGee's tie and began to finger the silky material.

"Hello Tim," the woman said kissing Tim's cheek in a friendly manner.

"Hey Isabelle," he responded. "How've you been?"

"Really good." There was a moment of silent tension that followed before the woman handed McGee a large duffle bag. "He's got clothes, toys, and books in there. I also packed some snacks and his favorite movies. Are you sure you don't mind taking him for the week?"

"Not at all. I'm sure you have a lot to take care of before the wedding."

She nodded and smiled. "If you need anything you have my number." Isabelle leaned over and kissed the little boy on the head. "Bye Lucas. You be good for daddy and I will see you next Friday."

"Bye mommy," Lucas waved.

"Thanks again, Tim." She kissed his cheek again and walked back toward the elevator. Tim followed her with Lucas perched on his hip. Isabelle waved again before stepping into the car and disappearing behind the silver doors.

Tim looked at the little boy in his arms. "Guess it's just you and me now, huh?" Lucas nodded emphatically and grinned. "Can I put you down now? You're too big!" Tim laughed as he set Lucas on his feet and turned to go back to his desk. The second he turned around he was met with twin expressions of confusion coming from both of his coworkers.

"Care to share, McSecret?"

McGee just rolled his eyes and grabbed Lucas's hand. "Tony, Ziva, I want you to meet my son. This is Lucas Timothy Rivera."


It's short, but consider it your teaser trailer. Next chapter will explain everything and will hopefully be up within a few days, but we all know how bad I am at posting!
