Title: Painful Past

Summary: When Gibbs gets hurt in the explosion the tean gets introduced to his daughter Kelly. AU NCIS fic with adult Kelly in it.

Disclamer: Sadly I don't own NCIS. If I did do you think I would be here writing fan fiction :D

Author's notes: This is a story I have been writing for ages. Just couldn't start it. Later chapters were so much easier. I decided to start with the episode Hiatus because it seemed to be a good moment to bring adult Kelly into this. The other fics with her in it aren't based on episodes. Hopefully you like it!


Painful Past, Prologue

Today had been a long day. He still couldn't believe Gibbs was in hospital fighting for his life. Gibbs wasn't supposed to get hurt. Tony had been so sure the man could survive anything. Tony picked up the phone and sighed. He wished Gibbs had told someone about this. If they now he wouldn't have to be the one who had to do this. He dialled the number and waited. Somehow he hoped she wouldn't pick up. He didn't want to do this. But she needed to know. And he was the only one who knew. Because of a coincidence he knew about Jethro Gibbs' past and at the moment he wished he didn't.

He was about to set the phone back down when a feminine voice answered in the other end: "Agent Gibbs'desk."

"Hey, Kelly, it's Tony DiNozzo."

"Hey Tony. You haven't called in a long time. What have you done now?"

Tony sighed: "Listen, Kelly. I have some very bad news about your father. He was in explosion today and he's in coma."

The call was hung up without any byes. He stretched his arms and suddenly he felt very tired. He mentally slapped himself on the back of his head. He didn't have time to be tired now. He hoped Gibbs would be okay because to tell the truth, he wasn't ready for this yet. His thoughts wandered back to Kelly. He felt relieved. Her last words were still ringing in his ears.

"I'm on my way."
