Gibbs had been looking for Ari. He was the reason that Kate had been killed. Gibbs hadn't let anyone leave the Agency and it was getting harder for Leah to hide the fact that she could have been pregnant with Tony's baby.
Leah was sitting with Tony, McGee and Abby. Gibbs was nowhere to be found. "Why is it, Gibbs can leave but no one else can?" Abby asked.
"He's the boss man," Tony said. He and Leah were giving each other seductive looks.
Leah looked over at Kate's desk and she felt tears rolling down her cheeks. "Its weird not having Kate here. She would be kicking Tony's ass now over some sexual joke," she said.
"Yeah."

Gibbs was standing with the director. He wasn't giving up on finding Ari. He needed to pay for what he did to Kate. Gibbs needed to keep the rest of team safe. Especially Leah, he wasn't going to lose another daughter.
"I'm standing down as director of NCIS."
Gibbs looked at Morrow. "Who's replacing you?" He asked.
"Me."

Leah and Abby were talking amongst themselves while Tony and McGee had gone to get some coffee."You're looking pale," Abby commented.
Leah sighed. "I'm fine. Just that time of the month," she said. She was lying she thought to herself. She didn't want to burden anyone with a baby. She and Tony weren't planning for a baby.
Abby knew about Tony and Leah being together but she also knew that Gibbs or McGee didn't know. "You sure you're not pregnant?"
Leah rolled her eyes but smiled. "Abs, I'm sure I'm not pregnant. You'd be the first person I tell after I told Tony," she said.

Gibbs watched as Jenny took control in the office. He knew it was likely she and Leah would meet. "Tell me about your team," Jenny said.
"They're my team, Jen. There's DiNozzo, McGee, Leah, Abby and Ducky. Up until yesterday, there was Kate."
Jenny looked up at Gibbs. "Leah?"
"Our daughter, Jen. The one you gave up," Gibbs spat. He walked out and saw Leah standing with Tony and Abby.

Leah and Tony were standing with Abby and McGee. They were talking about Kate. Each one of them had a favourite memory of her.
Gibbs came over to them. "We have a new director. Jennifer Shepard."
"A woman?!"
Leah looked at her boyfriend. "That seems to be sexist, Tony. Are you implying that women can't be in control?" She asked.
"Course not. Women have just as much right to power as men," Tony said. He knew not risk Leah's temper as she resembled Gibbs when she was angry
"Good boy DiNozzo. You're learning," Leah joked. She sent him a discreet wink. She made sure no one was looking and mouthed. "Love you."

Jenny came down from her office and met the team. She immediately could tell which girl was her daughter. She looked like herself and Gibbs but obviously she had dyed her hair as she was born with blonde hair. "I'm Director Shepard. Your new boss."
Leah looked up and could tell that Director Shepard had been looking at her. She didn't know why but it unnerved her to say the least.
Tony could tell that Director Shepard was Leah's mom. It was obvious as Leah had her eyes. He wasn't going to say anything however. He didn't want to risk hurting Leah.

Leah went to speak with Gibbs. "D-Dad, can we talk?" She asked.
Gibbs turned to her and nodded. He took her to the elevator. Once they were in there, he flicked the switch and it stopped. "What's wrong?"
Leah took a deep breath. She finally plucked up the courage to ask him. "Is that Director Shepard my real mother? Its just, I noticed her staring at me an awful lot and I clearly have her eyes," Leah said.
Gibbs wasn't going to lie to her. Not when she had asked him. All he did was nod. He could see the tears threatning to spill out of her eyes.
X-X-X
Leah left the vicinity of the elevator. She saw Tony standing there. "What happened?" He asked.
"H-He told me that Director Shepard was my mother. I-I just don't know what to do anymore, Tony. Everything is getting so confusing," she sobbed.
Tony held her close. She needed someone to be there for her. He could do that. He could love her when she needed it.

Gibbs went into Jenny's office. "She knows."
Jenny looked up at him. "Who knows what Jethro?" She asked as she began some more paperwork.
"Our daughter, Jen. She knows you're her mother and she's damn well upset," Gibbs spat.
Jenny nodded and continued the paperwork. "Ari Haswari, I have someone who knows how to track him," she began. When she had Gibbs' attention, she continued. "Ziva David."
"I want him dead! He's torn my team apart! Who's next, Jen! Abby? McGee? DiNozzo? I'll be damned if it's Leah he goes after because this Daveed woman won't be able to stop me putting a damn bullet between his eyes!" Gibbs yelled.

All Leah wanted was to crawl into her bed with Tony and shut out the world. She wanted to be alone with the man she loved. "When can we go home?" Leah asked.
"As soon as Gibbs has caught this psycho," Tony said as he rubbed her back. "As soon as this is over, you and I will be going on a night out followed by a glorious night in bed."
Leah smiled. "If we ever have a baby and its a girl, her middle name is going to be Caitlin. She was a role model to me, Tony. I want her to be involved in our daughter's life."
Tony agreed. He wanted someway to remember Kate and the amazing woman she was. "I'd love that. Just like I love you."
"I love you too Tony," Leah replied. She knew she loved him. She had never been so sure of anything in her life.
