Authors Note: This is the third story in the Things Change series; there will be one more after this one. If you haven't read "Things Change" and its sequel "Some Things Stay the Same" I strongly suggest you do before reading this. The first chapter of this story is sort of a recap.

Better than Ever

So many things have changed for the team over the past few years; Tony and Kate fell in love, got married, and had two little boys. McGee and Abby got married and had a little girl. Then there was Gibbs and Jen who had been dating ever since Tony and Kate locked them in the interrogation room to work out whatever was going on between them. Although it seemed that everything had changed the most important things never changed and the team was closer than ever and better than ever.

As for Tony and Kate they loved each other and their boys more than ever. They decided that they weren't going to plan on having anymore kids, but if it happened it happened. Secretly they both wanted one more child, a girl, but if it didn't happen they were content to just have their boys.

McGee and Abby were doing well except for the fact that their little girl Addison was going through the terrible twos. Addison has McGee wrapped around her little finger which Abby and everyone else has always found quite amusing. Surprisingly McGee and Abby have adjusted well to family life.

Gibbs and Jen on the other hand have been very discreet about their romance, the only people who know are Tony, Kate, Abby, McGee, and Ducky due to the fact everyone thought it best that Gibbs and Jen keep their relationship quiet for awhile. It was probably best for everyone, but since Jen came along Gibbs had changed he was easier to get along with and surprisingly he let Tony take the lead on many cases. All in all the team was doing great and it looked as if things could only get better.
