Finding Out (A Team's Tale)
"Jethro!" The director called from the balcony "Can I see you in my office for a moment." It wasn't a question.
Gibbs made his way up the stairs and into the director's office ignoring Cynthia on the way
"The twin's school called." Jenny said putting down the pen she was using to sign off on, on various different files and reports.
"There's a problem with the fire alarm and sprinkler system they were having a drill and now the alarm and sprinklers won't stop they decided the best thing to do is to said the students home." Jenny told him, "I have a meeting with sec nav and sec def in MTAC in twenty minutes can you pick them up?"
Gibbs nodded in response.
"Sure Jen, but what are we going to do with them?"
"Good, bring them here, they can stay in here." Jenny said as she went back to her work.
Gibbs left MTAC and went back to the bull pen where he deposited his gun and grabbed his coat instead, Jenny and Gibbs figured it was best if the twins didn't see their guns it might give them the wrong idea.
"Boss?" DiNozzo asked as he turned to gather his gear
"Stay DiNozzo, I have an errand to run." Gibbs said as he left the bull pen and headed towards the elevator.
"Where do you think Gibbs is going?" McGee asked
"I dunno Probie." Tony replied
"It may have something to do with what he was doing in the director's office." Ziva stated.
"Ya think Ziva." Tony said in his best Gibbs impression as he swivelled in his chair so he could keep his feet up and play computer games in the process.
"Shut up Tony." Ziva said as she pulled out her gun cleaning kit, whilst McGee got up and decided to go see what Abby was doing.
30 minutes and four games later Tony found himself throwing things at McGee whilst Ziva had be nominated (she drew the short straw) to go get Lunch Gibbs came back.
"DiNozzo!" He shouted as he walked past the bull pen. Tony sat back up immediately.
"Sorry Boss." He then followed the boss up the stairs and noticed the people with Gibbs, they were two small children both with red hair, both wearing jeans and a t-shirt and both holding on to one of Gibbs' hands.
"Probie did you see that?" Tony asked McGee who nodded in response and looked as equally confused.
Gibbs and the two mystery children came back down to the bull pen where they sat on the floor by Gibbs desks and started drawing with some paper Gibbs had given them.
"Boss..." Tony began
"Where's Ziva?" Gibbs interrupted.
"Getting lunch from that Pizza place down the road." McGee nodded
"When did she leave?"
"About two minutes before you showed up." Tony said
"Call her; tell her to get a pepperoni pizza, two kids diet sodas and a coffee for me." Gibbs said.
Tony Dialled Ziva
"What Tony?" Ziva shouted down the phone.
"Where are you?" Tony asked
"Walking in to the Pizza shop." Ziva replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world "Can you not control your hunger crunchies for 10 minutes?" she demanded
"It's munchies and yes I can, the boss came back he wants you to get another pepperoni pizza and two diet kids soda's and grab him a coffee." Tony said
"Why kids?"
"It'll make sense when you get back." Tony replied after he got an ok from Ziva he hung up the phone.
15 minutes later Ziva came back to the office with lunch.
"Jack, JJ, lunch is here." Gibbs said as he got up to help Ziva with the food she was carrying, he placed the other pizza on Ziva's desk whilst Ziva placed Gibbs' pizza on his desk.
"Thanks Ziva." Gibbs said handing her a twenty
"Fank you." The twins said in unison, Gibbs grabbed the soda's and joined the twins on the floor to eat lunch, much to interest of his team. After lunch was finished Gibbs was back at his desk doing work when one of the twins stood up.
"Dad I gotta go bathroom." JJ said
"Me too Dad." Jack whined as he stood up to join his brother.
Gibbs got up and grabbed the twin's hands and took them to the toilet.
"DAD!" Tony exclaimed when Gibbs was out of earshot
"They do look like him." Ziva said
Tony looked at McGee for support, but found McGee was tying away at his computer.
"Probie did you hear that?" Tony said thinking McGee ignored the situation.
"Yeah Tony I heard." McGee replied as he hit the enter key on the keyboard.
Meanwhile in Abby's lab her computer binged indicating she had a message. She opened it:
To: ASucito NCIS. Navy. gov
From: TMcGee. gov
Subject: BULL PEN NOW!
MESSAGE:
Abs!
Real live Gibblets in the bull pen
Tim.
After reading the message Abby flew to the elevator, which pinged announcing she was at the bull pen. She got out and found McGee, Tony and Ziva all in the bull pen with no Gibbs or Gibblets to be seen.
"Timmy if this was a joke then it's not funny." She said turning McGee, who pointed in the opposite direction, Abby spun around and saw Gibbs walking back in to the bull pen followed by two twin boys.
"Gibbs?" She asked
"These are my kids." Gibbs announced to the bull pen.
"Jackson," he said pointing to the twin in a black batman t-shirt "and Jethro. They answer to Jack and JJ." He told them pointing to the other twin in the blue San Diego Chargers polo shirt. Just then Ducky showed up
"I heard there was some kind of situation up here." He said chuckling when he saw the twins.
"I assume," he said talking to the rest of the team, "You've met Jackson and Jethro."
The team nodded in response. Gibbs left the bull pen giving the excuse of coffee. Abby walked over to where the twins were sat by Gibbs desk
"Hi I'm Abby!" She said happily extending her hands to the twins who shook it; she then sat down in Gibbs chair.
"Very special agent Tony DiNozzo." Tony said as he waved at the kids from his desk
"Tim." McGee said as he handed some more paper to the two boys.
"That's Uncle Ducky." Jack said pointing at Ducky, who took that as his cue to leave before questions he wasn't prepared to answer were asked.
"Bye Uncle Ducky!" JJ shouted after him.
Tony suddenly noticed Ziva wasn't in the bull pen.
The door of Jenny's office closed quietly and Jenny looked up to see Ziva walking towards her desk
"Their father is Gibbs." Ziva said picking up the picture of the twins off Jenny's desk. "I should have seen it. They look like him; they have the same face, the same eyes but your red hair." She said putting the picture back on the desk. "You never mentioned who their father was when we worked together." Ziva said looking at Jenny.
"You never asked." Jenny replied as she went back to her work. Ziva nodded and then asked the question Jenny had been dreading since she came back to DC.
"What happened?"
FLASH BACK (6 years ago)
"Mommy where daddy?" JJ asked as she pushed the twins towards airport security in their stroller
"Daddy has to stay here, but we're going on an adventure!" she tried
"Want Daddy!" Jack shouted as the twins began to cry, attracting attention from other people in the airport.
Jenny closed her eyes and counted to 5, it was going to be hard without Gibbs, the twins were a perfect mixture of their parents, apart from the hair they looked like Gibbs, they had Jenny's brains and patience but when they were angry or upset they were their father's sons.
"Jackson, Jethro, Daddy can't come but you'll see him soon. Be good boys for Mommy." Jenny said as she crouched to the twin's level.
The crying continued and it was beginning to draw attention from other s in the airport, Jenny looked in her bag and found two pieces of soft chocolate she turned around to give it to the twins when she found they'd stopped crying and were instead playing 'got your nose' with their dad.
"Jethro?" Jenny was surprised to see him.
"Stay." Gibbs stated
"I can't"
"You and the boys you need me, and I need you and I need Jack and JJ." Gibbs said, Jenny was shocked Gibbs was very out of character, he was revealing his emotions in public.
"We don't need you Jethro." Jenny said as she gave the twins the chocolate "We've been getting on fine without you since they were born."
"I've been there." Gibbs said
"Not really, you've been there in the house, you live in basement and you drink bourbon listening to that same tape. Your emotionally cut off from everybody." Jenny spat, before walking towards security leaving Gibbs shocked in the middle of the airport.
"Jenny!" He called.
"Good-Bye Jethro."
What they didn't know was those would be the last words ever spoke between the pair. Gibbs would fly out to San Diego to pick up the boys and he would either stay in his cheap apartment that he'd rented there or he'd fly home with them. But Jenny was never there, he's pick them up from Jenny's they'd be waiting for him and he was always saw the housekeeper but never Jenny and that's how it went for six years until now.
END FLASH BACK!
"We were a relationship, we got pregnant by mistake, it didn't last end of story." Jenny said as she signed off on yet another report. Ziva nodded she new Jenny obviously didn't want to talk about it and she respected that.
Ziva went back down to the bull pen, where she saw the two boys happily playing at their fathers feet, she sat at her desk and stared at Gibbs wondering what the whole story was, and how much more of it would be revealed. Her thoughts were interrupted by two pairs of blue staring at her.
"You're the lady who brought the pizza." Jack said "What's your name?"
"I am Ziva." Ziva said looking at the twins.
"Our Mom has a picture of you in her house." JJ said.
"Who is your mom?" Tony asked quickly, Gibbs head shot up, enough of his personal life had been revealed for one day.
"Mom is..." Jack added looking at his father then his twin
"Mom." JJ who caught his fathers and his brothers eye finished looking at Tony oddly.
"Uncle Ducky!" The boys shouted as they ran to him.
"Jethro, I've finished if you want I can take the boys home to play with mothers dogs." Ducky said as he walked towards Gibbs desk a twin on each leg.
Gibbs nodded and after the twins gathered there things they left with Ducky.
"Don't even think about it DiNozzo!" Gibbs shouted
Tony cursed inside his head, he was going to search public records for the twins but obviously that was not an option.
