It had been a week since the revelation and it was the summer holiday's for Stacie, Jenny had said that instead of hiring a babysitter, Stacie could go into work with Jenny, when she said that Stacie had been jumping up and down with excitement, not knowing the surprises that was in store for her.
The elevator stopped on the 2nd floor and Jenny stepped out with Stacie clutching her hand, Jenny and Stacie were the centre of attention as they walked past each bullpen.
"DiNozzo, Give me something." A voice shouted causing young Stacie to pull away from her mother and run into the direction where the voice was coming from.
"Well Boss, it seems that….." Tony was cut off by the sound of a little girl shouting.
"DADDY!!!"
Everyone's attention focused on the little girl, Kate giggled and stared at Tony, "Your Love child Tony?" Kate Joked.
Gibbs looked at Stacie who just ran up to her father, Gibbs picked Stacie up and held her close.
"Hi sweetie." He whispered.
Jenny felt tears forming in her eyes as she watched the interaction between father and daughter, she could see how happy they were together, a part of her wished she could go back in time and tell him about Stacie, another part was wishing she hadn't left him in Paris.
"Stacie, come on, your father is in the middle of a very important case." Jenny said.
"But Mommy!" Stacie said after Gibbs had put her down.
"No Buts Stacie Isabella Shepard, Now come on."
Stacie looked up at her father, "Do I have to go?" She pleaded with her dad.
"Sorry Stacie but your Mother is right, I am really busy but I will come see you in a bit, I promise." Gibbs replied.
Just the Abby came bouncing into the bullpen clutching some lab results and a caff-pow, She was going to come up anyway but Kate had IM'd her about the mini Gibbslet.
Stacie hid behind her father's leg and was shaking with fear at the sight of the gothic, bouncy, bubbly lab tech.
"Kate mentioned a gibblet, can I meet her?" Abby asked as she looked around, she caught sight of the little girl hiding behind her father's leg.
"Is that the ONLY reason you are here Abby?" Gibbs asked slightly frustrated.
"No, I got the Tox panel back on our vics, nothing, zilch, zero, nada." Abby replied, "Is she hiding from me?"
"Stacie, come meet the team." Gibbs said, he crouched down and looked deep into the girls eyes.
Stacie looked around and shook her head, she felt really nervous.
"Stacie, They're not that scary, well 'cept Agent DiNozzo." Jenny said and walked over to her daughter.
"HEY!" Tony Piped up.
Jenny, Gibbs and Stacie looked at him.
"Ma'am." Tony added making Kate laugh, she walked over to the little girl and knelt down before her giving Tony a great view of her ass.
"Hi, My name is Caitlin, You must be Stacie." Kate said.
Stacie nodded, "Hi Caitlin." She replied in a light whisper, "Pretty name."
"Thank you, Yours is pretty too."
"I like you hair, very pretty."
"Well aren't you a sweetheart, you're a very beautiful young girl."
Jenny and Jethro stood up looking a bit shocked, Stacie had taken to Kate very quickly.
Abby and Ziva smiled at the interaction between the young girl and Kate, little kids had always taken well to Kate, she was a natural with children.
"Come on sweetie you can meet the rest of the team later, right now they have bad guys to catch." Jenny said, she looked into Jethro's eyes, he smiled at her causing her to blush and look away.
"Okay." Stacie said drawing it out, she wanted to stay with her father but she knew how stubborn he mother really was.
Jenny placed her hand in her daughters and walked up to her office, a smile on her face, she stood on the catwalk and gazed at her favourite team, not that she would admit it.
She walked into her office with Stacie in tow, she looked at the little girl and saw a miniature version of herself.
