Disclaimer: I wish I owned NCIS, but I haven't seen a shooting star or blown out birthday candles recently so I don't.
This chapter is also from Kelly's POV because as I said last time I find it easy to channel Kelly.
The first call I have to answer arrives while mom is filling out forms for Wills school,
"Director Shepherds Line," I answer curtly
"Hello this is the Secretary Of The Navy. Can I speak with Director Shepherd please?"
"Director Shepherd is currently indisposed. I will see if she can take your call. Please hold the line." I quickly put him on hold and dial mom's number
"Shepherd,"
"Mom, the Sec-Nav is on the phone. Shall I put him through?"
"Yes and quickly. If the Sec-Nav ever phones put him straight through in future. Ok?"
"Of course mom." I quickly put the Sec-Nav's call through to her phone. Now all I can hear is the one side of the conversation
"Yes sir the allegations are indeed true." Her voice floats through the door. "I am the mother figure to his children now, I will not leave him." Her voice is rising "I don't give a shit whether this is bad for my publicity I am in love with him." She has just snapped at her boss, I think she is absolutely mad at him right now. "Of course sir, it will be kept out of the office unless we," he obviously cut her off, "Okay sir, even if we were to get married." There is a brief pause, "Goodbye sir." She leaves the school office and joins me in the reception area, she looks at me before stating "The Sec-Nav is a bastard." And smartly walking off.
We pull in at her first stop and one of her detail gets out with her whilst Melvin drives me to the navy yard. I nod at him in thanks before heading up to my area of the office. I call my dad to let him know that I have arrived and five minutes later he arrives hot chocolate in hand;
"The Sec-Nav knows about you and mom."
"Damn!" he curses.
"Mom told him she didn't give a shit."
"Anything else I should know?"
"After the phone call she walked up to me and said he was a bastard."
"I would have said the same."
"I know except you would have said it to his face. I'd love to keep chatting but I have paperwork to be doing, see you later."
"Get Mom to call me when she gets in."
"I will," I grab the file closest to me and he leaves, there must be over a hundred files in front of me so I start to read the first one. It's on Wills case and includes a copy of the birth certificate for verification of his full name. Under the fathers name it is blank but it says it has to be filled in on the sticky note attached so I put Leroy Jethro Gibbs there and put it in the pile for mom to sign.
~~~NCIS~~~
The rest of the day went fairly quickly, with only one major issue. The Sec-Nav decided to drop in and see mom and the visit ended with mom wanting to kill him. I however stopped a major killing spree by asking him about how they were going to verify that I had never died.
When dad heard about second talk with Sec-Nav he was murderous as mom had been but again I averted a killing spree by telling him I was now officially alive. Dad decided that this called for celebration and we all went to pick up Will before going out for pizza.
Will latched onto me again as we head out to the car after pizza and I end up with him sat on my lap for the car ride. He is obviously very tired so when we get back I decide to get him into his pyjamas and make him a nice hot chocolate.
By the time Will has finished his hot chocolate it is obvious that he is almost asleep where he is sat so I take his mug out and dad carries him to bed, I know he likes to have a bed-time story so I take this as a chance to talk to mom about something I have tried not to think about since my kidnapping.
She is sat in the kitchen when I walk up to her,
"Mom can I talk to you?"
"Of course sweetheart, what do you want to talk about?"
"Well first off I know I call you mom but this is a conversation I want to have with anyone but parents so I'm going to call you Jenny for this conversation, ok?"
"Sure."
"When I was kidnapped I was abused, and by abused I don't just mean beaten I mean I was raped. I started my periods when I was thirteen and I have missed my past 2. What am I meant to do?" I start to sob and she pulls me into a tight hug, something that with my past I do not tend to allow but it feels so nice for once that I hug her back.
"Well first thing's first, have you got any other signs of pregnancy?"
"Yes, I've been vomiting, that was why I was up this morning anyway."
"I think I have a test, from when I had a scare last year, in my wash bag, I'll get one, hold on," she runs out of the room and is back in five minutes with a small plastic stick. I tell her to meet me in my bedroom when I'm done.
A minute later I'm back in my room sat next to Jenny waiting for the test to tell me if I'm pregnant. I give it to her, as I don't think I can look at it. The time is up,
"It's positive,"
"What am I going to do? How do I tell dad?" I ask before breaking down in her arms.
