A/N: Thank you for the reviews! I love feedback!

It was a small hotel and even though Jackson offered to put them up, they declined, but at least they got their own rooms. Once all their things were in the room and set up, Ziva gave Destiny her medicine and fed her dinner. She then put Destiny in the bath and set up the vaporizer and the bed for Destiny. Destiny finished her bath and got dressed. She went to her backpack and got out her storybook that she and her father had been reading every night before bed. She looked over at Ziva who nodded. Destiny climbed into bed and settled in the blankets. There was a knock on the door. It was McGee.

"I spoke to Abby and Tony. They said they were coming up tomorrow. They should be here tomorrow afternoon," McGee reported. Destiny sat up.

"Good night, McGee," she said.

McGee smiled over to her and said, "Good night, sweet dreams." McGee left and Ziva went and sat on the bed next to Destiny.

"Ziva, do you think that Grandpa likes me?" she asked. Ziva looked down at her goddaughter.

"I do not see why he would not," she replied with a smile.

"I love you Ziva," said Destiny.

"I love you too," Ziva replied, "Now settle in so that we can read."

Destiny smiled and snuggled into Ziva's side. Ziva read the story to Destiny. Not too long afterwards Destiny fell asleep and so did Ziva, who still had the book on her chest.

The next morning, McGee, Ziva, and Destiny walked into the store and saw both men sitting at the table. Destiny walked over to her dad and kissed his cheek and waved to her grandfather, still a little nervous around the man. McGee and Ziva gave Gibbs a sit-rep and let him know that the others would be joining them that afternoon and about the blood traces and everything which led up to another argument between Gibbs and his father about how to obtain DNA.

Gibbs told McGee and Ziva to dig through the town's trash bins and obtain objects that Abby could use to get DNA samples to test. They didn't like the idea, but left to do it anyway. Destiny sat in the empty chair between her father and grandfather. Destiny watched them as they read the morning paper in silence. Jackson sat his paper down and turned to Destiny.

"So, how old are you?" he asked.

Destiny looked at the man and said, "I'm seven. I'll be eight in a couple of months." Gibbs looked at the two.

Destiny's eyes flickered to her father and then focused back on her grandfather. Jackson looked at his son.

"So, you gonna tell me about this woman that had this gorgeous girl?" Jackson asked.

Destiny looked at her dad fearing his response. Gibbs looked back at the paper and then at Destiny. Destiny was the one that spoke. She knew that the topic of her mother was still a touchy subject with him.

"My mom, Jenny, was the Director of NCIS before she was…was…killed," Destiny replied, "She was brave, kindhearted, but as stubborn as they come. I got my red hair from her and my eyes from Daddy."

Gibbs let a smirk through and Destiny smiled and took a breath. Jackson nodded.

"How did you meet everyone?" Jackson asked, "How did your dad not know about you?" Destiny looked at Gibbs who nodded and she looked back at her grandfather.

"Daddy met Mommy many years ago, but they became separated. That was when Mommy found out she was going to have me. She and Ziva worked together in Egypt and that's how I know Ziva. After that, she got a promotion to become Director and we came back to the states. That's how I met Daddy and his team. It wasn't all a good time though. We had our ups and downs. When she was killed, we found out that she wrote Daddy and me a letter explaining everything," Destiny rambled on and on about the events that led them to this moment in the store. Jackson was impressed at the tale the girl told.

He smiled as he knew that she was like him in that manner. When she finished, she looked at her dad to see if she could read his expression. She got up and walked to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He picked her up and held her.

"I take it that it was a rough time after Jenny?" Jackson asked.

"Still is sometimes," Gibbs replied.

"Uh-huh. Well, at least you have this one," Jackson said. Gibbs nodded.

"Do you think you could help me around the store? Stock shelves and other things?" Jackson asked. Gibbs nodded and Destiny got down and sat back into her chair. She watched as the shuffled around the store.

A/N: So, let me know what you think! I would really love to hear your thoughts!
