Narrator POV

It had officially been a months since Sierra showed up in the bullpen and told them who she was. It was the fourth of July and the team was going over to Gibbs's house for a barbecue and fireworks. They normally didn't have fireworks but with Sierra there they decided to. Sierra was getting use to her temporary life with the team and Gibbs seemed to be getting use her to. The team had gotten use to Tony and Ziva being together not that it really changed anything in their relationship they were just slightly nicer to each other. As Gibbs started the barbecue Sierra went into the house to get the hamburger patties, hot dogs, and corn that was in the fridge still. The team started arriving Palmer, Breena, and their new daughter were the last to show up. They all sat on the grass in the backyard talking and making Jokes.

Abby stood up from where she was sitting next to McGee and Sierra "Hey guys so we usually eat, drink and talk for the fourth of July but this year we have two new members of our crazy family so one not everyone is drunk, and two let's watch Dinozzo light himself on fire trying to set off fireworks." Abby said as everyone got up and moved to the front yard to watch fireworks and Dinozzo attempt to set them off.

After several failed attempts to set off one firework Tony gave up and Gibbs took over "Come on Dinozzo it's not that hard." Gibbs said taking the Lighter from Dinozzo.

"Here Gibbs I think I've got something Tony and handle" Sierra said going over to the bag that had the fireworks in it and pulling out a sparkler. "Here Tony try this." she said handing him the sparkler and taking out some matches and lighting it for him as well as doing one for everyone else and herself. The team ran around like they were little kids writing their names in the air. Once the last sparkler was out they sat back down as Gibbs successfully lit the first firework. After several fireworks later Sierra and baby Palmer had fallen asleep in the grass. Not attempting to wake either of them Jimmy and Breena said their goodbyes and headed home and Tony carried Sierra back into the house and laid her on the couch and covered her with a blanket slowly everyone else left Abby fell asleep helping Gibbs pick up the fireworks and plates left outside.

The next morning Sierra and Abby woke up in Gibbs's living room. Abby woke up Sierra before going home to get ready for got ready knowing Gibbs would either be in the basement working on his boat, getting ready, or had already left. Getting dressed and taking a shower before going to the kitchen to get some breakfast where she found a note telling her Gibbs had left this wasn't unusual Gibbs usually left at six and Sierra usually woke up at seven or got her breakfast brushed her teeth, grabbed her bag and left for the navy yard after making sure she had her security pass. She got to the navy yard and through the gates and parked her car seeing that everyone had arrived except her. She got out of her car grabbing the Starbucks she stopped for hating the taste of Gibbs's coffee. She made her way to the bullpen seeing everyone at their desk except Tony taking his seat across from Ziva who just smiled and shook her head knowing that this was usual for the past month.

Gibbs stood up and walked over to Sierra who now had her feet propped up on Tony's desk. She removed her feet scared that something had happened considering Gibbs usual talked to her from his desk she sat up.

"Your parents called me last night after you fell asleep." Gibbs said looking at Sierra who now was extremely nervous "They asked me how you were adjusting. I told them you were doing just fine."

"What did they say?" she said now a confused because her parents called almost every other day to see how she was doing.

"They asked me if you could stay until you started school because they were thinking about going on vacation." He said looking at the girl's face trying to read it.

"Can I?" She said hoping he had said yes.

"Well I told them that why take a short vacation when they could take a long road trip." He said giving her a smirk.

"What do you mean?" She asked trying not to get her hopes up.

"I told them to send me the papers for power of attorney for so that they still have custody of you but I can sign you up for school and you could stay with me for at least the first semester of school." He said trying his best to keep a poker face.

"What did they say?" She said still trying not to get her hopes up.

"They said you couldn't stay for a semester of school." Gibbs said seeing the girl's face drop when continued "They said if you were going to go to school out here you should at least stay until the end of the year." He said seeing the girl smile a mile long as she jumped out of Tony's chair.

"Are you serious."She said about to start jumping up and down "Please tell me this isn't some joke."

He nodded "I don't joke around about people staying in my house."

"Thank you thank you thank you." She said giving him a hug before running towards the elevator.

"Where are you going." Gibbs said now confused.

"To tell Abby I'm staying for a whole year." She answered squeaking before getting on the elevator after pushing the button about fifty times..

Abby's Lab:

The elevator doors opened and Sierra ran into Abby's lab almost running into abby yelling "Abby, Abby, Abby." she said coming to a halt right in front of Abby.

"Sierra,Sierra, Sierra what?" Abby responded seeing the girl run into her lab.

Sierra paused and held up her hand catching her breath from jumping up and down on the elevator then running into the Lab taking a deep breath and looking up "I get to stay through the school year." she said really ,really fast still giddy with excitement.

'Wait slow down now tell me again." Abby said not hearing what the young girl had said.

Sierra took another breath"I get to stay at Gibbs's and go to school here for my Junior year of High school." She said slower than the last time but still not wiping the smile off her face.

"What, why didn't he tell us last night." Abby said now smiling along with the girl.

"He didn't talk to them about it until I fell asleep." Sierra responded now jumping up and down.

She hugged the young girl and was now trying to get her to stop jumping up and down. When the elevator doors opened and Gibbs walked into the Lab.

"So Gibbs I hear you got a roomy for a while." Abby said giving up trying to calm Sierra down.

"I guess so but her parents did have one condition." Gibbs said and Sierra stopped jumping.

"What's the condition?" Sierra asked seeing all her dreams fall apart.

"We have to find a really good school and have her enrolled by the 10th." Gibbs said to Abby who got the hint and went to her computer.

"On it Gibbs." Abby said as she began typing.

Gibbs and Sierra walked over to Abby as she started her search.

"Got a few Gibbs though only one has space because they are an academy and are strict about where you live." Abby said.

"What do you mean." Sierra said hoping she could get into this school.

"I mean you have to live within a mile of the school." Abby said

"So..." Sierra said hoping that Gibbs' s house made the cut.

"You just got really lucky Ms. Todd Gibbs lives exactly point eighty five miles away from the school." Abby said smiling at the girl who screeched and hugged Abby.

"Sierra...need...to breathe." Abby said.

"Thank you." before running out of the lab.

"Where are you going now?" Gibbs called after the girl.

she peeked her head back into the lab "To bug Tony." She said giving them a smile "Where else". She gave them another quick smile and ran onto the elevator.

"Thanks Abbs." Gibbs said giving her a caf-pow before walking out of the lab.
