Seven years later…

"Brooke Jennifer DiNozzo, that was not funny," Bella said sternly to the little round faced child. Brooke looked slightly ashamed as she stared at the upside down bowl of cereal.

"Sorry, Mommy," Brooke apologizied, her big green eyes looking up at Bella pleadingly. Bella put her hands on her hips. Of course Tony had taught their daughter the puppy dog look. She sighed and hugged Brooke.

"It's okay, Sweetie," Bella replied. Tony entered the kitchen in his work suit.

"Morning, Bells," he said kissing her sweetly. She smiled and touched his cheek. Brooke pulled on his suit jacket hem.

"Hello, my little Brookie Banana," he said playfully, picking her up. She giggled and he spinned her around. Bella shook her head, smiling, and cleaned up the mess on the floor.

"Ready for another day of kindergarten?"

"Yes!"

"Let's go," Tony said playfully.

They left and got into the car. Holding each f her hands, Tony and Bella brought her into the building and brought her to her room.

"Have fun, Brookie," Bella said kissing Brooke on the cheek. The little girl with soft curls smiled and hugged her parents, then skipped into the room. Tony and Bella smiled, then stood up and headed to work.

Two days later, midnight

That Time of Year by the Sick Puppies played in the bullpen as Gibbs, Ziva, Tony, Bella, Tim, Abby Ducky, Jimmy Palmer, and llittle Brooke DiNozzo huddled together for a group picture. It was officially the start of a New Year, and everyone was dressed nicely for the occasion. Abby even wore heels and a skirt. Brooke had her hair down and was wearing a pink dress. Ziva was wearing a blue dress, Bella an olive green. Director Vance held up the camera and actually smiled.

"Say 'Agents'," he told them.

"Agents!"

Everyone smiled into the camera.

Blackout.
