Gibbs and Tim were on their way to Bethesda a few days later to pick up Sarah who was being discharged from the hospital.
Tim, in the back kept fidgeting with the car seat and from his place behind the wheel Gibbs gritted out, "Leave it alone Tim. It is in right"
Stilling his motions Tim replied, "I just want to make sure"
A few minutes later they were pulling up to Bethesda and Gibbs let Tim out before going to find a close parking spot.
"Okay sis you ready?" Tim asked after he had finished signing all the release papers.
"Beyond ready. I cannot wait to sleep on a normal bed tonight" the girl said.
"The guest room is all set up for you Sarah" Gibbs said while coming into the room carrying the baby carrier
"Are you sure guys?" Sarah asked once again about coming to stay with the boys until the new semester started.
"Yes Sarah the new semester doesn't start for a few more weeks and even you can't annoy us in that short of a span" Tim said.
"Touché brother, touché" she said as she levered herself into the wheelchair and the family began their trek home.
From the backseat Tim marveled at how slow Gibbs could go when he needed to and how calm he could be.
Gibbs released a breath when he finally negotiated his turn into the families' home finally allowing himself to relax now that Cailin was hone safe and not out on the streets with the other Waco's driving fast.
"Welcome home Cailin" Tim said while he picked up the baby and brought her to his chest to shield her from the slight breeze that was now a fixture in these seasonal times.
"I'll grab the baby pack Tim" Sarah said upon exiting the car.
Nodding his thanks Tim made his way up the stairs and found himself a few minutes later sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery looking down in awe at Cailin.
"This is a beautiful sight Tim" Gibbs said upon entering the nursery.
Looking up and smiling Tim coaxed Gibbs further into the nursery and foisted the baby into Gibbs arms.
"This is your other daddy Cailin" Tim said while leaning his head onto Gibbs' shoulder.
Misting over and getting lost in the reverie of having a baby girl once again Gibbs quietly said, "No one is ever going to hurt you"
"I think she needs a nap Tim" Gibbs said as Cailin struggled to keep her eyes open
"Yea guess so" Tim said as Gibbs went over and laid Cailin down in the crib.
"Why don't we go make sure that Sarah is all settled in" Gibbs said while turning the lights of in the room.
"Wahhhhhh" "wahhhhhh" "wahhhhhh" penetrated Tim's brain and he woke with a start and immediately put his feet to the ground and started off in the direction of the nursery.
Turning on the light Tim made his way over to the crib where he picked Cailin up before saying, "Shhh baby. It's okay" and sitting in the rocking chair to rock Cailin.
A few minutes later, and more loud screams, Gibbs was in the nursery too.
"I can't get her to stop Jethro. Maybe Sarah made the wrong decision." Tim said morosely.
Coming over and placing his hand at the base of Tim's neck Gibbs squeezed the base before saying, "You are doing great Tim. Come on let's bring Cailin to our room"
Nodding Tim mutely made his way towards the bed and placed Cailin in the middle of the bed before laying down too.
Gibbs looked down at the scene as he grabbed the covers and lightly draped them over the three of them.
Seeing Cailin in the middle of the bed brought back memories of having Kelly in the bed with him and Shannon for the first few months after she was born.
Before Gibbs eyes closed he laid his hand on Tim and thought I hope Shannon would be proud right now.
Looking down from heaven Shannon ghosted a kiss across Jethro's face and looked at the family one last time before vowing to watch them from afar.
