Mandy Connors- Weather Girl for the WDC News, Meet Gibbs at a crime scene from which they started a relationship after the murder was solved and has been going out for 2 and a half weeks now.
Washington DC, after the adoption, Gibbs house.
It had been two and half hectic weeks after the adoption. Gibbs had taken three weeks of personal leave and if need be, more, god knows he has enough saved up. On the first night that Tony had stayed in the house as his son. He set him up in the guest room as before. But come morning he woke with an eight year old in his arms. He was not expecting that but he did not mind and actually slept in for once.
But let's start at the beginning of this hectic two weeks in fact that would be that very morning. It was a Saturday morning and the beginning of his leave. He shifted in bed making sure not to wake Tony, when he heard someone knocking on his front door. For a moment he was confused when he remembered that he had locked the door for his son's safety.
He got up being extra careful of not waking Tony, he walked out of his room and down the steps into the hall to the front door. When he opened it his first reaction was to block the sun light from his eye's.
"Jethro!" A high pitched voice on the other side of the threshold said, as said voice jumped her way into his arms and kissed him on the lips pushing her tongue past his lips into his mouth. Jethro managed to push her off of him and shut the door at once and push her into the living room.
"Mandy? What are you doing here?" Jethro asked. Giving her a quizzical look.
"Remember this was our weekend together?" Mandy said twirling a curl between her finger.
"Oh shit, sorry Mandy I forgot." Jethro said running his hand down his face.
"Oh, that's alright Jethro you can make up for it." Mandy said as she started moving towards him in a very provocative way. Jethro started taking steps backwards.
"No, I mean not today, Mandy there's something I have to tell you." Jethro said stumbling over his words at first and feet as he almost tripped over the sofa. Just then Gibbs heard a step creek and looked up to see Tony creeping down them rubbing his hand over his eye's and yawning. Jethro looked at Mandy then walked around her over to Tony.
"Daddy?" Tony said as he reached the bottom, Gibbs came over to him and picked him up putting him on his hip. While Tony immediately wrapped his arms around his neck and rested his head on Gibbs chest. Gibbs held him closer and kissed the top of his head. When Gibbs looked back at Mandy she stood there mouth hanging agape.
"Mandy, Meet Anthony Dominic Gibbs." Jethro said adjusting Tony so that one of his arms was under him holding him there and the other was wrapped around his back and his hand in Tony's soft hair, holding his head there as Tony fell back asleep.
"Gi…He's your….You have a…You're a…" Mandy stuttered out.
"He's adopted, I adopted him yesterday to be exact." Gibbs said watching Mandy's reaction.
"WHAT!" Mandy yelled startling Tony awake as he tightened his hold on Jethro, Jethro held him tighter as well to reassure him.
"Mandy." Jethro said in a warning tone nodding his head towards Tony. Mandy puffed and huffed and then walked past Jethro to the door. She stopped at the door and Jethro stopped behind her. She took a deep breath then turned back around more calm.
"Ok, I freaked out a bit, sorry, now I have some of my bearings back. I need to think about this ok Jethro, before we go anywhere ells with this relationship. Alright?" Mandy said looking at Jethro. Jethro nodded his understanding.
"I completely understand." Jethro said, Mandy nodded and turned back to the door she opened it and walked out Jethro stood in the threshold and watched her leave in her car then turned back around and shut the door behind him. He walked back through the hallway and into the kitchen, he looked down to Tony, who still had a tight hold on him and wide eye's.
"Hey, you hungry champ?" Jethro asked as he sat Tony in one of the kitchen chairs and started opening cupboards, and pulled out cereal, lucky charms into a bowel in front of Tony and put a spoon with some milk in it.
"Thank you." Tony said already forgetting what happened this morning and eating his breakfast. Jethro sat across from him and watched his son eat, fascinated at how strong willed he was.
"Hey what do you say, you go get dressed into those clothes Ducky got you and we head to the park?" Jethro asked Tony's head shot up and he smiled the biggest and brightest smile that Jethro has seen.
"Yeah?" Tony asked excitedly.
"Yeah." Jethro confirmed. Tony shot up from his seat and ran around the table to Jethro and wrapped him in a hug. Then as soon as he was hugging him he was running off. "Tony finish your breakfast first." Jethro yelled after him. He watched as Tony came back into the kitchen obediently, but accompanied with a pout. Jethro laughed a little at his antics. "Once your done with your breakfast then you can go get ready." Jethro said. Tony sat back down in his seat and just about swallowed the whole thing in one gulp and then shot up to his room to get dressed.
Tony bounded down the last four steps as he made his way down from upstairs now dressed in the clothes that Ducky had got him. "Anthony!" Gibbs said as he rounded the corner just as Tony jumped. Tony looked up at him pouting, but had a mischievous glint in his eye's.
"Si?" He said in a very innocent voice. Gibbs tried his hardest to keep the glare on his face but lost the battle as Tony stuck out his bottom lip and Gibbs just had to laugh a little at his antics.
"You ready, Sport?" Gibbs asked him. Tony looked around then by the door he saw what he was looking for, he ran over there grabbed his new shoes and slipped them on.
"Mi trovo ora" (T: I am now.") Tony said with a smile. Gibbs nodded and bent down to Tony's level and zipped up his jacket since Tony had not had it zipped at all.
"Now remember there will be other kids there it's a Saturday, so make some friends have fun. Don't forget that you have to speak English not a lot of people or kids for that matter can speak Italian. And remember you only have a week and a half left before you start school so I'd better be making some friends fast so they can show you around when you get there." Gibbs said to Tony who was trying really hard not to roll his eye's.
"I got it dad, I think I can handle it." Tony said with a smile and a really heavily accented Italian accent. Jethro was just lucky he could speak Italian and understand most of what he said. They will have to work on that.
Jethro got Tony out the door and into the back seat of the car and buckled him in. He then pulled out and headed to the park. Once there he parked the car and popped the trunk. As he was getting out Tony got out as well.
"Hey Tony come here, got something for you." Jethro said as Tony turned and ran over to him. He reached into the trunk and withdrew a football back from he used to play. When Tony was getting dressed back at home he had snuck up to the attic and opened one of the old and many boxes that were up there and grabbed the football and stuck it in the trunk of the car. He considered driving his truck but it was having problems so he stuck with the car.
"Cool! I love football! I love Soccer, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, if it's a sport I've played it and like it!" Tony said excitedly rambling on. Jethro laughed glad that he stuck the football in there.
"How bout you go long." Jethro said to Tony. Tony smiled and started running as far as he could as Jethro lined up to throw.
NCIS Interrogation Room
Flynn sat across from Robert Jenkins aka RJ. He did not look happy to be here, at all.
"So 'RJ' what relation did you have to Lance Corporal Ronald Stevens?" Flynn asked while looking through a file that was on his lap.
"Who?" RJ said leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed. Flynn sighed and rubbed his head. It was now very early in the morning and he has been in the office all night.
"Come on Robert you know exactly who he is, and don't play dumb." Flynn said putting the file down on the table.
"Ok so I know him, but that don't mean not'en." RJ said.
"Where's your gun?" Flynn asked.
"It was stolen about a week ago." RJ said.
"You didn't fill out a police report." Flynn said.
"Yeah well, you try filling out a police report when you're the one whole the police constantly have to talk to." RJ said.
"Alright listen RJ, we have a whiteness who can place you as the killer." Flynn said getting down to business.
"Right a what is it a 8 year old." RJ said, Flynn was taken aback that he knew that but put up a good face to make it look as if he were not surprised.
"You might as well confess to it right now." Flynn said trying again to get him to fess up.
"Not in a million years." RJ said. Flynn saw that this was over and that RJ was not going to budge so he got up taking the files with him, before he could reach the door RJ stopped him.
"Can I go home now?" RJ said from his spot in the chair.
"No, actually you'll be spending a night in lock up, due to the drugs we found in your pocket." Flynn said smiling at him.
"I told you that wasn't mine, I don't know how it got there!" RJ said as Flynn shut the door.
"Yeah ok." Flynn said signaling the guard to come over and take RJ to metro.
Miss Dakota Piper, continued to try and reach a high poster that was on her wall just about the fall. But after trying for about three minutes gave up and just left it for later. She went over to her desk and sat down, just as someone knocked on her door and came in.
"Miss Piper, I have you student list here for you." Principal Richards said walking over to her desk with a paper.
"I already got my list." She said confused.
"There has been a late addition so we had to redo the list but this should be it." He explained and handed her the list and left the room. She nodded and then looked down at the list reading the names trying to find the one that was different, looking off her old list as a check list.

(AN: The names that have last names are like main characters as of yet, other wise it was just to difficult to figure out a whole lot of last names unless I put a lot of siblings in here.)
Miss Piper looked over the list the ones that are in bold are the ones ion her class while the other third grade teacher Mr. Coolidge had the rest. She realized she found the new name and it will be in her class. She placed the list inside her teaching folder and got up and went to the closet down the hall she brought out a knew desk and chair and reorganized the room into rows and isles with the extra desk in them. She went back to her desk pulled out another name tag which took her an hour and a half the first time to put all the names on. She placed the new name tag on her desk grabbed a permanent marker wrote the new name onto it. The she went over the new desk placed it up at the top and tapped it down onto it.
After she was finished with that she went onto adding another mailbox with the new kids name. Also a lot of other things that needed to be added with the new kids name onto it. After everything was complete she sat back in her chair at her desk taking a deep breath excited, she couldn't wait until a week and a half from now, when she'll get to meet her kids. Well technically she meet them last year on the last day she meet all of them. But it's still not the same. She could tell that this year was going to be special.
Joey Martin picked up several rocks and flung them off the side and pushed himself back onto his feet. After jumping off the slide he landed flat on his but, but he didn't mind it was fun and would really like to do it again. He looked up and saw his best friend Mathew Turner Standing were he did ready to jump himself.
"Come on Joey move outa the way it's my turn."
"I'm a hurrying, Mattie patients is a virtue." Joey said moving out of his way. He watched as Mattie 'as his chosen nickname was' jumped and landed on his feet for two seconds and then slowly fell over trying to keep his balance. It was so ridiculous that Joey burst out laughing. Something caught Joey's eye and looked over Mattie's head to see what it was. He saw a football in the air, which soon descended into the hands of a kid about his age. It was a nice catch, and a nice throw.
Mattie got up just about to ask Joey if he wanted to do it again, when he realized Joey was starring at something he turned to look at what it was.
"Do you know him?" Mattie asked.
"No, but he made and awesome catch with that football he has." Joey said, looking at Mattie.
"Think he's a new kid, or just passing through?" Mattie asked.
"Don't know, wanna ask?" Joey said, Mattie nodded and the started over. Once they got there they watched as the kid was pretend tackled, by whom they assumed to be the kids dad. They got close enough they could hear them now. The boy was giggling as the man was tickling him.
"Say you give and I'll let you up." The man said. The kid laughed some more.
"Mai." He managed to say in between giggles. The man continued to tickle him.
"English, Tony." The man said. Both Joey and Mattie looked at each other at the exchange.
"Never!" Tony, the kid said. But that only made the man pick Tony up and tickle him more. "Ok, ok I give, I give." Tony exclaimed wildly. The man set Tony down, and that's when Tony saw them. Tony tapped the man's leg and pointed at us, and the man turned to look at us as well.
"Hey." The man said.
"Hello sir, we saw that you had a football and were wondering if we could play too?" Joey said as Mattie eye's the football.
"Yeah sure, I'm Gibbs, and this is my son Tony." Gibbs said rumpling Tony's hair as Tony tried to push his hand off.
"Daaaad" Tony said trying and failing to push his hand away. Gibbs smirked.
"Mr. Gibbs, I'm Joseph Martin, but friends call me Joey, and this is my best friend Mathew Turner, but you can just call him Mattie." Joey said indicating both him and his friend.
"No Mr. just Gibbs, alright." Joey nodded.
"So can we play?" Mattie asked.
"Sure, how bout, you three against me." Gibbs said.
"But that's uneven?" Joey said. "You'll be out numbered.
"Bet I could beat all you" Gibbs said with a smirk both Tony and Mattie got a glint in there eye, and Gibbs could tell these three will be close friends growing up.
"Oh your going down, old man." Tony said with a smirk. Gibbs raised an eyebrow at that. Jethro watched as the three of them huddled up and made out a plane of action.
Then once the three were done, they put there hands in and brought them down then up, saying "HooRaw!" Gibbs smirked at that, by age 10 Tony will practically know every marine term there is since he'll be going to a school were most of the kids parents there are marines.
Jethro watched as the kid Mattie set up as quarter back behind Joey who set up as the CENTER. He also saw that Tony was setting up as wide receiver. Mattie said hike and Joey snapped the ball back to him as Tony took off, Jethro almost had him, but he made a sharp right turn which threw Jethro off as Mattie threw the ball and Tony received and took off for the tree they designated as the touchdown tree.
After about an hour and a half of this Jethro was ready to call it a night and he did not look like the only one who thought so. He looked at all three boy's who were sweaty, dirty and panting. Just when he was about to call it a night, a man and woman came over.
"Joey, It's time to call it a night." The woman said.
"Ah mom! Can't we play a little longer."
"Afraid not sport." The man said, giving Gibbs a suspicious look while also looking at Tony.
"Mom, Dad meet Tony and his Dad Gibbs, Tony is going to be going to our school and be in our class!" Joey said changing the subject. The man smiled and walked over to Gibbs.
"Hey the names John Martin, this is my wife Marry." John said holding out his hand to Gibbs.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs, you can just call me Gibbs if you want." Gibbs said shaking his hand.
"It's nice to meet you Jethro, I can see that our son's will be close friends." Marry said using Gibbs middle name.
"Yeah I was thinking the same thing." Gibbs said smiling.
"Well we truly have to go, but it was nice meeting you and your son." Marry said and John nodded as well. "Mathew, do you need a ride home?" Marry asked Mattie.
"No ma'am that's alright my dad said he'd pick me up, I'll wait." Marry gave him a sympathetic look before nodding her head.
"Well, we have a doctor's appointment and cant be late, but Mr. Gibbs will be staying won't you?" Marry said giving Gibbs a stare that begged yes. He nodded. "If you need a ride home just ask him, ok." Mattie nodded. Marry looked at him a bit before going over to Joey and taking his hand as John followed over to there vehicle.
"So Mattie, what time did your dad say he was picking you up?" Gibbs asked him, Tony stood over by Gibbs right.
"He usually comes at 9 at the latest." Mattie said. "But that's alright I have more time to play." Mattie said. Gibbs not totally agreeing with that assessment nodded anyway and played some more with the two boys. About an hour later it was 8:45pm and Gibbs saw headlights. A man exited the truck, and headed over to them.
"Hey, Mattie it's time to go." The man said. Mattie turned around.
"Dad!" He ran over and jumped in his dad's arms. "You have to meet my knew best friend and his dad." The man nodded and put the boy down who then grabbed his hand and drug him over to Gibbs and Tony.
"Hey, Kevin Turner, Mathew's father." He said holding out his hand Gibbs took it.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and this is my son Anthony Dominic Gibbs. You can call me Gibbs though." Gibbs said shaking Kevin's hand.
"And you can call me Tony!" Tony said holding out his hand to shake as well. Kevin laughed along with Gibbs at that. Kevin bent down and shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you Tony." After he was done he straightened back up and looked at Gibbs. "Thank you Gibbs for watching my son." Kevin said sincerely. "With work and all I'm having a hard time getting things done. Gibbs nodded in understanding and took out one of his business cards.
"Well just call if you need any help, it seems Mathew and Tony are really good friends so there would be no problem if he came over from time to time." Gibbs said Kevin nodded thankfully and took the card and put it in his wallet.
"Thank you, well be going now." Kevin said and Mathew ran over to the truck and got in waiting for his dad to take off.
"Alright time to go sport." Gibbs said turning back to Tony, he almost outright laughed at the site in front of him. Tony stood with hi eye's half open looking like he was about to pass out right there standing up. Gibbs bent down and picked him up, Tony immediately laying his head on Gibbs shoulder and falling asleep. Gibbs bent down again and picked up the football and headed to the car and home.
The Next Day at Gibbs House
Gibbs woke again to the sound of knocking looking over at a sleeping Tony who once again made it into his bed in the middle of the night. He slowly got out of bed to make sure not to wake Tony. He made his way down the stairs and to the door which ended up being a nonstop knocking now. "I'm coming." He said getting a headache. He opened the door and his legs were barreled into.
"Sorry Gibbs didn't have anywhere ells to go, my brother dropped her off with me last minute but I have to go into the office. I was called in, something with Balboa's case." Lilly said as she rushed to give Gibbs a few things Gibbs just nodded bending down to pick up the hyper genetic 6 year old.
"It's no problem Lil's." He said. Lilly nodded a thank you and kissed him on the cheek and the 6 year old on the head. Then she ran back to her car. Gibbs shut his door and then turned around placing the 6 year old on the ground. He was about to turn into the kitchen, when he heard a screech.
"Ah a boy!" The girl said hiding behind Gibbs leg. The boy 'Tony' jumped at the screech as he stood in the doorway to the living room.
"OH MY GOD I'M A BOY!" Tony said looking down while patting his legs and arms. "How did this happen!" He said dramatically. The girl stepped out from behind Gibbs giggling and laughing as Tony dramatically tried to figure out how he is a boy. Gibbs couldn't hold it in much longer himself and laughed as well.
"Your funny." The girl said.
"And you nameless." Tony said smirking down at the girl. The girl laughed a little.
"Well if I'm nameless then you are too." Tony nodded at that since to her he is nameless and to him she is nameless. Gibbs shook his head figuring they were already becoming really good friends and headed into the kitchen for a cup of coffee.
Tony stared at the girl, and she stared right back. She smiled and he did too. "Wow your stare is about as good as Gibbs." The girl said. "My names Abby Scuito." Abby said holding out her hand.
"Tony Gibbs." Tony said saying his new name his tongue tingling. Abby's eye's lit up.
"Your Gibbs son that he adopted, Aunt Lilly told me all about it!" Abby said excitedly hugging him. "We could be like totally cousins, you know. Or brother and sister, I always wanted an older brother!" Abby said bouncing now while hugging Tony.
"Well you ant gonna have neither if you don't let him breath Abs." Gibbs said walking past and into the living room with his coffee.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." Abby said letting go as Tony sucked in big gulps of air.
"No…Prob…lem." He said. Gibbs smirked from the position on the couch watching the interaction between the two. Oh yeah those two are going to be close. He thought to himself.
The Navy Yard NCIS headquarters
Flynn came back to his desk and went to sit down but right before he sat down he saw that there was something on the other side of his desk that must have fallen off. He went around and picked it up and then went back around to sit, he only sat for a second before jumping back up…
"OOWWWWEEEEEEE!" Flynn limped out of his chair and turned around finding the chair empty, he turned and looked at his backside and saw a tack in his backside left cheek. He heard laughter and looked up at Christy.
"Oh my Gosh, that is so funny." Christy said holding her stomach from her laughter. Flynn gave her a sarcastic smile that lasted a second and pulled the tack out grunting a little bit. Just then Mike walked in took one look at the scene went strait to his desk rolled his eye's, grabbed a file and walked right back out.
"What was that for?" Flynn hissed at Christy.
"You really don't think I wouldn't have found out that you were behind my super glued items that are on my desk do you." Christy said, Flynn just smiled.
"I have no idea what you talking about." Christy stared him down and realized there was some truth to what he was saying.
"I can't even answer my phone!" She exclaimed reaching over and tried to pick it up, but it was stubbornly stuck to the receiver which was stuck to the desk. Flynn's face showed shock and confusion. Then he started laughing a little then a lot. "What!" Christy demanded.
"I only super glued your stapler" Flynn said in between laughs. Christy looked at him confused.
"Then who…?" Christy said just as he cell started ringing and looked down at caller ID, and saw Gibbs on it. Flynn sobered up as he two saw the name. "No he couldn't…but…how…" Christy stumbled as the cell rang. Flynn as stumped as she was.
"I don't know." Flynn said backing away to his desk. Christy just stood there her brain getting a little fried on how the heck Gibbs got into the building without her knowledge. Flynn was not much better off.
"Oh he's good." Christy finally said then answered her cell.
