AN:Sorry this is about a week late. Things with life got busy and was not exactly sure which way to make this go for some of the chapter. I have also decided to change some of the info around such as Kate and Lizzie's birthday will now be closer to Halloween so about a week or so later than I had originally planned it to be.
Chapter 3
[Kate PoV]
"Can Tony, Lizzie, and I head out early so I can get to know Joseph and Kelly?" I ask excitedly desperately wanting to get to know my children.
"Go be with the kids tonight and come back bright and early tomorrow. I want you focused and ready to work. I need you to be able to profile the subject during questioning and if that makes him squirm in a holding cell tonight, so be it." Gibbs said as we were all walking out of MTAC.
"I am just going to call the sitter and tell him that Lizzie will pick the kids up early. Meanwhile I will bring you home and tell you the important details about the shorties." Tony said.
"Alright but we need to switch who calls since I have to talk to Preston anyway. He wanted my help picking out the engagement ring he is going to get for Macey." Lizzie said pushing the button in the elevator.

"So I am going to tell you about Joey first, then Kelly. Joey is physically my double but personality wise he is all you. He is already so smart and kind, the teacher had nothing bad to say about him last week at the parent-teacher conference. Now Kelly...she is totally physically you. It was rough the first few months because of how much she reminded me of you. Personality wise though she is more like me. They both have the same teacher and she only had one complaint about Kelly. That complaint was about her work ethic, she likes the fact that Kelly gets ahead but she does not like how Kelly just decides to goof off once she is far enough ahead that she doesn't want to do anything else." Tony said just as the front door of our house opened.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy!" came two small voices from the hallway.
"Shorties remember what I told you about behaving tonight? Now when we go into the living room we are going to see someone you will recognize from stories and photos. You both need to be on your best behavior tonight so the guest doesn't get scared away." Lizzie said leading the kids into the livingroom. "Lizzie you can bring them in now. Uncle Tony has given me descriptions. I just want to meet my kids and start being mommy." I yelled to my niece.
"Daddy showed us a video last week that he made like two weeks after we were born." Kelly said excitedly trailing off.
Not too surprisingly, if my 'profiling skills' are correct, due to their closeness Joseph picked up where Kelly left off saying, "We asked daddy who the lady in the video was and he told us she was our mommy. The lady looked and sounded exactly like you. I am Joseph Arthur DiNozzo and this is my twin sister Kelly Marie DiNozzo."
"Kids, I would like to introduce you to your mother. Do you remember me telling you that mommy used to work with daddy and that sometimes daddy or someone else might go on a case and either not come home for a long time or get booboos that would make it so we can't come home?" Tony asked. Both kids nodded so he continued, "Well mommy was on one of those cases where she did not come home for a very long time, but she is home now."
"How do we know it is really mommy?" Kelly asked.
"Well Kell-bell both daddy and Lizzie made her pass a test before we brought her here." Tony said.
"Oh." Kelly replied appeased at that response.
"So daddy tells me you are both very smart. He also tells me you are both very active. Do you guys want to go play at the park and then go somewhere to eat?" I asked the kids.
"Can Lizzie come too? We like playing with her at the park." Joseph asked.
"I think that can be arranged buddy. I was going to ask the same thing. I want to spend as much time with your mommy as I can." Lizzie replied squatting down hugging both kids.

It was great to see Kate with the kids again. It did not even seem like she had been gone for eight years.

~Next Morning~
[Lizzie PoV]
Between when we left work last night and when I sat down at my desk this morning the BOLO placed on Jared Decombi came back and we now have him in the interrogation room ready to talk.
(Interrogation)
"Jared we have a witness who saw everything." Gibbs started.
"Dude I am telling you nothing happened. Miranda left me about a month ago. She had to go back home to Boston." Jared said.
"First off you DON'T address me as 'Dude'. It is Gibbs, Special Agent Gibbs, Agent Gibbs, or since you are a main suspect in a murder you can call me Sir. Now why don't we go over my facts again. Agent Rutter since you had the pleasure of getting the facts from the witness how about you give them back to us. Do it in English though since no one else here speaks Romanian." Gibbs said with a sly smirk.
"Alright Gibbs I have the facts to be a credible witness by the name of Zaharia Croitoru. Next I have his statement saying that Jared here found out that our dead Lieutenant Alexander Johnson slept with his fiancé Miranda Rizzoli. The statement and questioning revealed that a small fight happened and Jared stabbed Johnson. And further research our people did showed that Lieutenant Johnson had a security system with cameras. Our research also shows that one of the cameras has a perfect view of where the murder occurred." I said just as I got a message from Aunt Kate. "And one of our Agents just sent a message saying that they just finished the tape of the murder and that it was in fact you that killed Lieutenant Johnson, Mr. Decombi."
"Well Agent Rutter why don't you do the honor of closing your first case with the arrest." Gibbs said opening the door to leave.
As soon as Gibbs opened the door Jared took off running. "I will be back in a few minutes. I am going to get him back here. Adios." I say starting after Jared.

(Squad Room)
Less than fifteen minutes later I arrived back at the Navy Yard with Decombi cuffed and in custody. Absolutely no sweat or shortness of breath. "Case closed." I said smirking at Gibbs.
[Ziva POV]
Throughout last night and today, I thought about what I would do now that my life has been turned upside down. I weighed all of my options carefully before I made my full decision. I am going to go in tomorrow and give the Director and the rest of the team my final decision. For now I will just go and finish the chores I need to do around the house...mainly packing up.
~Time Skip~
(Navy Yard)
"Hello Cynthia is the Director in yet? I am here to give her my decision about my fate here at NCIS." I said wanting to get this all over with.
"One moment." Cynthia said informing the Director of my presence.
"Send her in Cynthia. Then please run this drink down to Abby I still owe her from the other day." the Director said quickly.
Once inside and sat down I got straight to my point. "Director I have made my choice on what I want to do about staying here or not." I said.
"I see and what is your choice?" she asked.
"I have decided to stay with the Agency but am requesting to be transferred to a different base as soon as humanly possible." I request.
"I believe that there is an opening in our Los Angeles Division that I can transfer you into. How about I have you starting there two weeks from Monday." the Director suggested.
"I will take it." I replied.
"Now I think we should tell the rest of the team before too long." she said.
"I think telling them now would be our best option." I said heading back to the squad room.
(Squad Room)
[Gibbs POV]
I walked in after my morning coffee run with one for me and one for Jen. Walking into the squad room and did a quick head count on my team. I quickly saw McGee and Rutter going over Rutter's report before she submitted it, then I looked over at DiNozzo's desk and saw him and Kate laughing about something I probably don't want to know about. I notice that Ziva was missing which meant one of three things: 1) she was late, 2) she had called in and someone else took the call or 3) she was up in Jen's office. When I looked up and saw Ziva walking out of the Director's office alongside Jen I decided option 3 was the most likely. I held out one of the coffees out to Jen she looked at me and smirked as she took the cup.
The silence was awkward until Ziva spoke up. "I have officially made the choice of what I wish to do about my situation. I have spoken to the Director about it a few moments ago. We have decided it would be best if I transferred to Los Angeles. I start there two weeks from Monday."
"We are going to miss you here Ziver." I said starting the line of goodbyes.
"Goodbye Ziva hopefully we will work with you in the near future." McGee and Agent Rutter said practically in unison.
"We will miss you here Ziva…" Tony started.
"I am sorry it had to go this way." Kate finished for Tony.
"Can we please not tell Abby, Ducky and Palmer right now? I will tell them at a dinner some night soon probably tonight so they don't feel left out." Ziva begged.
~Time Skip~
(Gibbs' House)
[Jen POV]
It is finally time for a team dinner where Ziva will reveal to Abby, Ducky and Jimmy that she is transferring to L.A. Everyone has just shown up. "Welcome everyone I am glad you all could make it." I said.
"Thank you for hosting this dinner Gibbs and Director...sorry Jenny as we are out of work. I would have done it myself but all of my boxes are ready to go for tomorrow and in the way of everything." Ziva said.
"Wait, I did not know you were moving Ziva. Where will you be moving to?" Ducky asked.
"Actually I am moving to a place just outside of L.A. as I have put in and was accepted for a transfer to the branch of NCIS in L.A." Ziva said making the announcement.
"You are leaving us? When are you leaving?" Palmer asked.
"I have about two weeks before I start, but I am leaving tomorrow so that I can settle in before I start working." Ziva replied.
"We really will miss you Zee. Hopefully we will get to work with you again eventually." Abby said running up to Ziva giving here one of the famous Abby bone-crushing hugs.
AN 2: The next chapter for sure the secrets between Jenny and Gibbs will come out. We will also meet the third and final new member of the team. I will say right now that the new team member's full story will not come into light until closer to the end of the next chapter so that I can get all of the secrets out. I also changed one of the secrets so it is now just 2 secrets and one of them is in two different parts.
