Summary: Sequel to Rock Solid. Story is set 18 years down the road and will be told from Mags, Morgan and Garcia's daughter, point of view.

A/N: Happy Monday everyone and at last I'm finally back with a new chapter. This is another flashback one that's again family centric as most of the story is but for the most part until I get to the flash backs when Mags' is older that's how it will remain. One of my reviewer's asked for me to expand on Eliza and her laid back personality a bit so that's what this one will do hopefully. Enjoy as always and do me an even bigger and review since I only got two reviews for the last chapter.

Chapter 8:

It's something I've said before but my baby sister is a bit of a conundrum. She fits into no real mode and I believe it's vey much because of the fact that she is such a mix of both our parents. Like my dad she's tall, lean and athletic; on the other hand she's just like my mom dreamy and romantic. The combination results in her being very hard to read because you never know what's going on in that head of hers. Again like I've said she's never gravitated towards one parent more than the other over the years like me and my brother have which means she doesn't have the blind hero worship some say I have for my father. She unlike me knows he's not perfect and the same goes for our mom she realizes she's not perfect either.

If anything over the years the people she's gravitated to over the years are our Uncle Spencer and our surrogate Grandpa, David Rossi. Seriously she spends one weekend a month at Little Creek with him and her greeting to our genius uncle is always, "Uncle Spence tell me something I don't know." He always obliges and before we all know it he's spouting off facts and statistics to her and she's just sitting there soaking them all up like a sponge. Now I tell you all this so that you know before hand why on the day of Rossi's retirement party my sister, whom I've already told you is the quietest out of us kids, was even quieter.

8 Years Earlier…

"Does it look okay?" Eliza asked as I braided her hair.

Humoring my four year baby sister I paused what I was doing to look over the car I'd helped her make the night before for Pops. Pops aka David Rossi was calling it quits on his FBI career again and this time he claimed it was for real. As a result today we were meeting the gang out at Little Creek where we would be having a small retirement party in his honor.

"Yes it looks fine, Lizzie," I said as I looked the card over. Written on the front was, "Happy Retirement Pops," and on the inside were messages from all three of us kids as well as Henry.

Eliza grinned at my reassurance and I went back to braiding her hair.

"Hey Daddy wants to know if you guys are ready," Our seven year old brother said as he breezed into my room as always without knocking.

"Yes we are," I announced as I tied the ribbon at the end of her braid.

"Good now all we have to do is wait on Mama," Darron replied before rushing out of the room just as quickly as he'd breezed in.

Thirty minutes later all three of us kids piled into the SUV and away we went. As always when we finally arrived at Little Creek we were the last to arrive. Daddy always claims it's because unlike the rest of them him and mom have three kids. Aunt Emily on the other hand says it's because my dad's too much of a pretty boy.

Uncle Aaron had his thirteen year old son Jack for the weekend and as we all filed out he and Henry were tossing a football back and forth. Darron quickly ran off to join them and Eliza skipped to the porch where Pops and Uncle Spencer were sitting. I mean while helped our parents unload the food we'd brought for the party.

"Did you make this," I heard Pops asked as I walked inside with my mom.

Eliza nodded as he opened to the card.

"She made redo it four times last night," I informed Pops moments later when I walked back onto the porch.

"Is that right," He said with a smile over at me.

I nodded as Eliza explained to him that she had to make sure it was perfect.

"Well it is so thank you," Pops replied.

"Your welcome," I called out as I ran off to join the boys.

Soon we ceased play and settled down to eat. Halfway through the meal Pops stood up and cleared his throat before saying, "First off I want to thank all of you for making these last few years some of the happiest of my life. You guys are truly family in every since of the word and so with in mind I want to you all to know that you are always welcome here."

"You mean it,' Eliza interrupted.

"Yes little one I do, you're not getting rid of me anytime soon," He answered.

"Good," Was her reply and that knowledge mad her made her smile for the rest of the day.
