Disclaimer: ..next.
After the dispute over who got to play with "Chloe", Gibbs had managed to calm Brooke and Hannah down, by gently explaining to them that sharing was something they needed to get used to. Of course, they listened to him, and continued playing contently as he then went over to the sniffling DiNozzo twins.
"What's wrong?" he sighed.
"Col-Colton told did us to shud…shud….shud up!" the both whined, in perfect sync.
"Well, did you two do anything that may have upset Colton?" Gibbs asked.
"No…" they both trailed off, looking at the floor. Gibbs just gave him his signature stare and they immediately confessed. No one could live through the Gibbs stare without confessing.
"We was laughin' cuz he gotted in twuble for teasin' Tyer…" they said quietly, already headed towards the time-out mat.
"Five minutes, girls." he said, strictly, but still at the same time gently. After the five minutes were up, they resumed playing duck duck goose with Claire. Just then, Jenny walked down the stairs, entering the basement. She gave the room a quick glance over, spotting Gibbs trying to pry Tyler and Colton apart again. For a three and four year old, they had a very firm grasp on one another.
"Hey now! C'mon guys cut it out!" Gibbs shouted, finally prying the two apart.
"Gibbs-pa, Colton hitted did me on da back uh the head again. Tell him ta stop it!" whined Tyler, rubbing his head, grimacing as his fingers graced over the small bump he'd sustained from Colton's continuous slaps.
"Colton I told you not to hit your friends, why did you do it again?" Gibbs asked, somewhat exasperated.
"Because I wanna be like you daddy. You always hit people on da backs uh deir heads when dey don't liten to you!" he whined.
"How about we play NCIS?" suggested Jenny, somewhat shouting over all the chaos in the small basement, earning a thankful glance from Gibbs, as Tyler and Colton forgot about the little "fight" they'd just had. A mixture of "yay" "ok", "sure!", and "yippee!" was heard from the room as they all began gathering the toy desks and putting them into bullpen formation. They were quick learners; hey, they're Gibbs' team's kids.
"Alrighty, time to assign some parts" Jenny explained. She grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil, clicking the lead out, and began to write down the names of the team.
"Who's going to be Gibbs?" she asked, smirking over at her husband, as he grinned down at the kids. Colton immediately shot his hand up; Hailey also asked to be Jenny. Jenny and Gibbs had to laugh at that one. The parts ended being set as so:
Gibbs-Colton
Jenny-Hailey
Tony-Delilah
Ziva-Tali
Delilah-Gabrielle
Kate-Brooke
McGee-Tyler
Abby-Claire
Ducky-Hannah
"Alright, the parts are set! Time to act! And….action!" Jenny called, as the kids all got in their position.
"DiNoddo! Whada ya got!" Colton shouted, his high pitched voice making Jenny and Gibbs chuckle.
"Dere was a guy founded in water! We tink he drownded but we not sure. Kate has to talk ta Abby bout it." Delilah replied.
Colton looked over at Brooke, performing his best Gibbs stare at Brooke.
"Well, Dodd, what ya got?" he commanded.
"So far we tink it mighta been a bad guy who did it Gibbs." She replied obediently.
"Dat's not good enough silly-head!" he shouted. "Get me more ebidence!" he shouted walking away towards his "desk".
Brooke came over and swiftly rapped Colton on the head.
"Don't eben tink about lookin' at me dat way Gibbs!" she snapped, going back into her "Kate-mode", even though Kate wouldn't really do that, but hey, it was only a play.
"Hey! You can't do dat! Only daddy can hit people on da backs uh da head! Go ta time out!" Colton shouted, pointing at the time-out mat. Jenny couldn't hold it in, she burst out laughing as she watched Brooke sulk in the corner.
"Hello boss, I see Kate's in the corner. Why is she in the corner?" Tali asked.
"Because she hitted me. Only I can hit people Ziba. Ebybody knows dat." Colton explained, as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
"Alright well if you say so." Tali said, going over to the desk that was labled "Ziva" in Hailey's handwriting.
"Hi honey, hows the team doing?" asked Hailey, going over to Colton.
"Bad. Kate hitted did me." He sulked, pouting. Hailey nodded in understanding and went over to Brooke, or "Kate" who was still sitting in the time-out mat. She gave her a quick Gibbs-slap before walking away. That's when Hannah had enough.
"Stop hitted ding my sister! You gonna hort her!" she cried, running over to Brooke, hugging her tightly.
"Alright I think maybe we should cancel this play. We don't need your parents killing us for the head injuries you guy may sustain from each other." Jenny explained, helping the children pack the toys up. Gibbs just watched, amused at the unfolding scene. These kids were just so creative!
"Alright guys, why don't we make pictures for your mommies and daddies?" Gibbs suggested. They all agreed to do so.
"Great. Guess what? We get to use paint!" he said, his eyes catching the horrified look on Jenny's face at the mention of the word paint. The room was filled with screams and shouts of excitement. His eyes caught Jenny's and her face said it all.
"What the hell did you get us into?"
