Chapter Seven: Daddy Gibbs
"Abs, you got something for me?" he Gibbs asked as he walked into the room, Abby nodded bouncing with excitement "you knew the victim didn't you?" she asked, Gibbs frowned at her a little "what has that got to do with the evidence Abby?" he asked.
"I'll take that as a yes" she continued "well, you see I was looking at Lils and well she looked so familiar so I tried to figure out why" she said and Gibbs looked a little more interested now "anyway so I ran Lilith's DNA to see if there was a father in any of the systems" Abby pulled up the test results she pointed "this is Lilith's DNA swab" she then pointed to the other side "and this is her biological father's" she looked at him a little pointedly and let him have it "that second set of DNA is yours' Gibbs, Lilith is your daughter".
Gibbs, heart fluttered a little, he suspected a little, the timeline fit but to have DNA results to confirm it was a lot for Gibbs to take in, he had another daughter a little girl who's life he'd missed out on so much off.
She looked a lot like Kelly, now that he thought about it, a feminine version of himself in looks, but with red locks, darker than Kelly's strawberry blond. She was his; his mind was still having trouble processing the information.
"Gibbs? Gibbs are you okay?" Abby asked, her hand waving in front of his face, Gibbs looked at her "Yeah Abs, it's just" he didn't need to finish his sentence, she knew what he meant, he'd just found out that he was a father, again, that had to be a lot to deal with then add on the fact that said daughter had been the subject of abuse and had heard her own mother being murdered. It was a lot.
...
"Oh, no thanks, I'm fine really" she replied a little too fast, her nervousness clear in her voice. She was hiding something that much was obvious to both Ducky and Kate.
"Lilith, Ducky's not going to hurt you" Kate started to explain "No, because he's not going to touch me, none of you are" she said, her spunk coming into play. She was willing to fight to keep them away.
"Please, Lilith calm down, no one is going to hurt you, we just want to help" Kate continued to try "well help yourself, 'cause lady if you or anyone comes near me, I won't hesitate to knock you on your ass" she said anger and defensiveness leaking into her voice.
Tony walked into the room, not having heard the conversation going on he wasn't prepared for Lilith's reaction. She spun around and kicked him, hard in the left shin, causing him to trip and fall "ouch kid, what'd I do?" he asked Lilith.
"I said not to come near me" she said, not caring that he hadn't been in the room when she'd said it, she was beyond rational thinking now, she was a fighter and when she felt threatened she lashed out years of abuse had taught her to do so, not that she'd ever fought Warren, no with him she hid, either physically or emotionally retreating into herself to deal.
School was difficult, if anyone made her feel threatened she reacted violently, it had gotten her expelled a couple of times, he male principle had not taken kindly to being kick in the privates and had asked her not so kindly to remove herself from his school grounds and not to come back.
Kate was trying to coax Lilith into calming down while Ducky checked Tony's injured leg, Lilith had a strong kick and there was defiantly some bruising and a little swelling on the Agent's shin.
"Get back or you go down too" she warned as Kate edged a little closer. Gibbs chose that particular moment to enter the conference room; he looked around, taking everything in, Tony's bruising and Ducky advising him to use an ice pack, Kate trying to get closer to a very angry and agitated Lilith who was trying to back away and out of the room.
"What the hell is going on here?" He growled the question out.
