Oh right the disclaimer…unfortunately I don't own ncis S, but I do own Izzy D
0900 the next morning
Ziva stands over the sleeping couple whispering to Tony and Abby.
"You think it's a good idea if we wake them up? I mean that can't be comfortable." Ziva says looking at the sitting position the two fell asleep in.
"I think Abby should do it, since she is the favorite." Tony says still looking at the couple.
"No way Tony. I might be the favorite but I don't want to incur the wrath of Gibbs." Abby says. She notices Gibbs' move and holds out his cup of coffee which he accepts.
"Maybe you should have listened to Abby." Gibbs says before drinking the coffee. "Thanks Abs."
Tony looks at Abby in amazement. "Okay that was just weird I could've sworn he was just..." he stops once he receives a swift blow to the back of his head. "Shutting up boss…"
Gibbs takes another drink from his coffee and stares at Abby. "Abby, what's wrong?"
Abby just stares at disguised Jenny. "Can I talk to you for a minute Gibbs…alone?" she asks
"Sure Abs. DiNozzo, keep an eye out will ya." Gibbs says before heading to the elevator with Abby. Once in the elevator he hits the emergency stop. "What's on your mind Abs?"
Abby lets out a frustrated sigh. "What's on my mind? Gibbs, how is it that the director, our boss the one who everyone thought you were in love with, just died yesterday and I come to the hospital with Tony and Ziva because you were here, and they didn't tell me why, and I see you sleeping next to that woman! Didn't you care at all Gibbs?" Abby finishes with a disgusted look on her face.
"Can I talk now?" she nods. "Abby, that woman that I was sleeping next to IS Jenny."
Abby just looks at him. "Are you serious? You mean to tell me that I just yelled at you for no reason? I'm not going to get head slapped am I?" she asks seriously.
Gibbs laughs. "No you're not but Tony is. He was supposed to tell you can McGee. So Abby is it safe to go back upstairs or do you still need to yell at me?"
She contemplates this for a moment. "No we're good to go back up, but can I be the one to slap Tony?"
"Be my guest" He releases the brake and waits for them to get back to the correct floor. When the doors open again he sees Abby walk out in front of him and stop in front of Tony. The next thing he sees is Tony rubbing the back of his head and glaring at Abby.
"Don't even think about it DiNozzo." He says.
"But boss...she just slapped me. There has to be some kind of Gibbs rule that prevents that…." He is stopped by Gibbs slapping him on the back of the head.
"I told her she could since you didn't tell her about the current situation. Speaking of which why are you guys here this early?"
Ziva, Abby, and Tony all just look between each other. Abby nods at Tony. "Well boss you see what happened was…"
"Sometime today DiNozzo or do you need another slap of motivation?" he asks seriously.
Tony clenches. "No need for another slap boss. The SecNav is demanding to know where the director is and why there is another body sitting in the morgue that is not her." He says quickly.
Gibbs looks down at Jenny and sighs. "What did you tell him?"
Ziva decides to step in here. "We…"motioning to her and Tony "told him that you would bring him up to speed about the situation once you became available…next week."
Gibbs looks at the three. "Good Job. Abby where's McGee?"
"Oh he's back at the lair Gibbs. What do you need him for?"
He looks at the three. "If I remember correctly we just had a murder attempt on our director. I need McGee to make sure that this Natasha didn't have anymore followers that could possibly still be after Jen. DiNozzo, do something to get rid of Vance, and Ziva…can you stay here with us?
Ziva looks at Gibbs. "Are you sure? I could always help Tony."
"No I think she is going to need all the help she can get." He says looking between Izzy's room and Jenny.
"Which one?"
"Both" Gibbs says sincerely.
Abby looks a little confused by this conversation. She looks between Ziva, Gibbs, and Tony with both amusement and confusion. "Someone want to tell me why we are at the hospital?"
Gibbs looks at Tony. "DiNozzo I thought I told you to tell Abby and McGee everything. Why didn't you?"
"Well you see Boss when we left the hospital yesterday it was late and I didn't want to bother Abby or Probie so I thought I would just tell them this morning but then when I got to the office Ziva wanted to bring you and the director some coffee so I couldn't find time…" he stops when he gets another slap on his head.
"Three slaps on the head in less then 20 minutes that has to be some kind of record DiNozzo. And since you couldn't fill Abby in on the current situation," Gibbs says turning to Abby "we are here because the director's daughter collapsed."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa…you mean to tell me that the director has a daughter? Since when?"
"Since about 9 years ago Abby." Jenny answers finally waking up. Gibbs walks over to where she is and passes her his coffee. She gladly accepts the cup and takes a sip. "Have you checked on Izzy yet Jethro?"
He looks back at the three. "No I was just woken up by the three musketeers here. But I'll go check on her, if you want." She nods at him. "Ziva, Tony you coming?" he says looking back at Abby who he sensed needed to talk to Jenny.
"Yeah…we're coming" Ziva answers for them both then drags Tony behind her as she follows Gibbs. Abby just stands there looking at Jenny.
"So who are you supposed to be disguised as?" she asks looking at Jenny's disguise.
Jenny looks down then back up at Abby. "Ziva's mother. This is what she wore the day that Ziva joined Mossad. Abby I'm sorry if you didn't know I am alive…" She didn't get to finish because the next thing she knew Abby had practically attacked her and attached herself to Jenny's side. Jenny recovers from her shock and hugs Abby back. She is even more surprised when she hears Abby crying. She rubs Abby's back. "Abby what's wrong?"
Abby sniffles. "The kids might not like it when mommy and daddy fight but they hate it when they think that mommy or daddy is hurt or worse." She says. Jenny just looks at her a hugs her tighter.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that Abby. But look on the bright side you get to meet my daughter." Jenny says trying to loosen the mood. Abby looks up at Jenny.
"I didn't know you had a daughter until about 5 minutes ago. What's she like?" Neither of them saw Gibbs come out of the room.
"You can find out for yourself. She up and she's asking for you Jen, although 'Aunty Ziva' is doing a very good job of keeping her occupied while you and Abby here have been talking. DiNozzo has been excellent entertainment." He says in an amused tone.
"Abby would you like to meet my daughter?" Jenny asks the quiet goth. Abby just nods. "Ok well lets go." With her arm still around Abby Jenny makes her way into her daughter's room. She walks past Tony who is on the ground with Ziva standing over him laughing, and stops right in front of Izzy's bed. Izzy refocuses her attention on her mother.
"Hi mommy." She says quietly. "Aunty Ziva just did the funniest thing to Tony…mommy who is that?" Izzy asks pointing to Abby.
"Izzy, honey this is my friend Abby." Jen says then looks at Abby. "Abby this is my daughter Izzy."
"Mommy is this the same Abby you are always telling me about?" Izzy asks.
"The one and the same, why do you ask?"
"Just wondering." Izzy focuses back on Abby "I think you are awesome. Some of the things my mom says about you…its like wow." Izzy says in a clearly fascinated tone.
Abby looks down at the little redhead and her eyes get wide her statement from the case with the Morph pro resounding through her head 'Gibbs and the Director make nice Gibblets.' She comes back to reality when she realizes that someone is talking to her. She looks back at the young red head. "You think the stories are amazing you should come down to my lab sometime." Izzy's eyes get huge.
"Can I mom, please?" Izzy begs Jenny. Jenny just laughs at her daughter.
"We'll see. Maybe when you get out of here I'll see what I can do."
"Sweet" Izzy and Abby say at the same time. Abby looks down at her watch then calls Gibbs' name. "Do you still want me to call McGee for you?" Gibbs just stares at her. "Right, so Tony Ziva I think we should get going. I'll just talk to McGee when we get to work."
"Hold on Abs, I'm coming in with you guys."
"Boss" "Gibbs" came the immediate protest from the three. He gives them his best 'don't-argue-with-me-and-no-one-will-get-hurt' look to silence the protests.
"Just wait outside" Gibbs says. He watches until they are outside of the room to look at Jenny. "I have to go in. I want to make sure that it is safe for you and for Izzy." She tries to protest but he continues. "Let me do this. I promise I'll be safe and I'll even come back here once I'm done."
Jenny sighs "you know we were supposed to tell Izzy right?"
"We can do that right now." He walks over to Izzy's bed. "Izzy there is something that we need to tell you."
The girl's smile leaves her face. "Don't tell me I'm going to be here in the hospital for the week. I hate hospitals!"
Jenny cuts in. "No sweetie, it's nothing like that. It's about your father…"
"But I know who my father is." Izzy says completely surprising both Jenny and Gibbs. "Mom can you pass me my pants." Jenny looks around and spots the pants on the chair, grabs them, and gives them to Izzy. Izzy pulls out a picture from her pocket. "I found this in one of your drawers' in the study a few years ago remember." Jenny nods "You told me that this was my father." She then points to Gibbs. "So is he. He is the same man in this picture."
Jen is still shocked. "Izzy, why didn't you say anything?"
Izzy shrugs "I thought it was a secret and the best way to keep a secret is to keep it to yourself." She finishes.
Gibbs smiles and looks down at Izzy "You are right about that. So to be clear you knew who I was when you came to my house?"
Izzy shakes her head. "I knew who you were when you came with Uncle Ducky to pick me up from school. Uncle Ducky told me all about you…he also told me about…um-well he told me about…"
Gibbs nods in understandment at her hesitance. "He told you about Kelly." Izzy nods
"I didn't want to say anything because I didn't know if you knew who I was. And I can kinda figure that it would be hard for you to find out that you had a daughter after whatever happened yesterday….you just looked all weird. Kinda like mom does after a long day of work" she chuckles at the image in her head. "Its ok if you don't want to talk to me or whatever…"
"Hey" Gibbs says sitting down on Izzy's bed "Don't you ever think that. Sure I was shocked to find out that I had another kid, but it's not your fault and I don't blame your mom, she had her reasons as well. Kelly…Kelly was my past. Yes it's going to hurt for a little while because I don't want to make that mistake twice. This is not your fault, ok." He finishes softly as Izzy looks at him. "How about this when you get out of here we can go somewhere, anywhere you want to go."
"Can mom come too?"
Gibbs looks back at Jenny. "I don't see why not." He notices Tony outside of the window and looks back at Izzy. "I have to go to work, but I'll be back later ok."
"ok" comes the sleepy reply. Gibbs walks to the door with Jenny.
"She's a smart kid." He says looking at Izzy's bed.
"Of course, she's a Gibbs. Besides she's in the 6th grade, you tend to mature a little bit."
"6th grade? Jen she's barely 9, how did that happen?"
"Calm down Jethro, you don't want to wake her up. Like you said before she's a smart kid."
"I'll be back at around 6. Call me if you need anything." He kisses Jenny on the forehead and walks out to meet Tony, Ziva, and Abby. "Let's go." He holds his hand out and they stare. "The keys DiNozzo."
Tony quickly takes the keys out of his pocket. "Here you go Boss." They head to the elevator and make their way to the car. Gibbs stops at the coffee shop to pick up his usual then makes his way to the NCIS building. McGee is sitting at his desk working on who knows what when they arrive in the bull pen.
"McGee, I need you to check any loose ends that Svetlana might have had. Check for any connections she had here in the states and when those names come up I want Ziva and DiNozzo to bring them in." Gibbs checks his stops at his computer then makes his way up to MTAC to talk to Vance.
