I apologize for not putting a disclaimer in the first part. My mind was elsewhere. So here it is:

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own NCIS or the characters (aside from Mikey and a few other characters, but those characters will come into play soon). If I did, we all know Gibbs and Abby would be in a relationship (if you are like me and like that pairing :D). Tiva would also exist.

So...moving on! Here is the story and please R&R.

Chapter Two

06:45

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Mikey screamed, laying on his father's stomach. This was what Gibbs woke up to.

"Hey Bubba!" Gibbs replied with the same excitement that his son presented. He rubbed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair. He looked to the right, not finding Abby. "Where's Mommy?"

"Downstairs, making breakfast." Mikey answered as if it were an everyday thing. Normally, he would be the one cooking.

"Well," Gibbs started, revealing a mischievous grin. He unexpectedly started ticking his son.

"Daddy!" Mikey exclaimed in between laughing. He continued to laugh until Gibbs stopped.

Gibbs, now fully awake, sat up. "I guess we need to get down there and help, don't cha think?"

"Uh-huh." Mikey said, nodding. He slid off his father's chest, landing on his mother's side of the bed. He then jumped off the bed. "Come on, Daddy!"

Gibbs managed to pull on a pair of sweat pants before his son got so impatient that he grabbed for his hand. Being pulled out of the bedroom, Gibbs paused, swooping Mikey in his arms, which caused the young child to laugh.

Downstairs, Abby had to laugh and smile. Her boys were definitely entertaining when in the same room. She clearly saw the admiration that their son possessed. At one time, she had considered not telling Gibbs, letting him think it was another man's child; but she couldn't deny how much Mikey looked like his father. Now every time she thought back on what she was glad she hadn't done, Abby was glad she had done the right thing and told him.

Smack, smack! The sound of a hand repeatedly hitting a something plastic caused her to turn her head in the direction of the high chair. Their daughter, Stella, was two years old and full of energy – just like her brother. They definitely kept them busy. Unfortunately, Stella was found to be deaf. However, that certainly didn't hold her back. She was constantly getting into things and causing ruckus.

"Stella..." Abby sighed, grabbing a hand towel from the counter. She walked over to the high chair and wiped the little girl's hands and mouth. Stella had gotten her pancake all over her, prompting Abby to change her again before they headed off to work.

"Daddy! Put me down!" Mikey requested loudly as Gibbs set him in his chair.

"Hey Abs," Gibbs greeted as he kissed her briefly on his way to the counter where their breakfast was laid out. "This looks great, Babe."

"Thanks, honey." Abby responded, distractedly. If asked six years ago whether Gibbs would have been calling her pet names other than Abs, she would have told the person they were crazy. Now, she wouldn't have her life any other way.

Gibbs made two plates for both Mikey and himself, pouring syrup on the pancake and cutting it up. He left his with only syrup. Leaving Mikey's fork on his, he placed the plate in front of the boy, taking his own seat as he set his own plate in front of him.

"Mommy, can I have some milk?" Mikey asked in between bites.

"Mikey." Gibbs said firmly, giving him a mini "Gibbs stare" look. Mikey looked at him, looking at him.

"I got it, Gibbs." Abby said, bringing a small glass of milk to Mikey and a cup of coffee to Gibbs. It was only then when she finally sat down and ate herself.

10:23

Team Gibbs spent the better of the day working on the case. Mikey was in pre-school and Stella was down in autopsy in her playpen with Ducky and Palmer. Although it was against regulations, Gibbs didn't care. He wanted to make sure his daughter was safe and he absolutely trusted Ducky.

Mikey's school was on the Navy Yard, so he and Abby weren't too far away in case of an emergency. They assumed he would be safe.

Little did they know, once again things would change...this time not for good.
