Tali, Jaxson and the quads were staying overnight with Tali's family after all of the holiday festivities before they flew home with Kelly, Rhett, Sawyer and Zayn the following day. Kelly, Rhett and their kids had gotten a hotel room at the Addams House Hotel so that things were beyond crowded at Tony and Ziva's. Following dinner, AJ brought Madison home while his sister and brother in law got the twins fed, bathed and put into pajamas before bed.
"So, what was going on with your parents and their team after dinner tonight?" Jaxson asked.
"Oh that, they were trying to convince McGee that Bishop and Torres have filled the shoes of my parents, Gibbs and Jenny."
"Torres and Bishop are dating, really?"
"Dating, yes and more than dating." Tali said.
"Wow."
"That was McGee's response when Jenny confirmed his suspicions earlier. Besides they are good for each other."
"They seem to be." Jaxson said as he bathed Elijah.
"It's pretty unanimous that Torres is huge improvement compared to Bishop's ex-husband just like Qasim was an improvement."
"Why did Bishop divorce her ex-husband?"
"Jake had an affair with a colleague of his at the NSA and admitted to the affair to Bishop before Thanksgiving a number of years ago. Eventually Bishop decided to divorce Jake with the affair that Jake had and the fact that their marriage was falling apart at the seams after she came to NCIS."
Meanwhile; as things progressed onwards at the DiNozzo household, Torres and Bishop were just getting to Bishop's apartment after they had stopped at Torres' home so he could grab his gear and his overnight bag. As they drove to Bishop's apartment, Torres and Bishop squabbled over the team suspecting that they were seeing each other.
"I don't care if the team knows; what concerns me; Nick, is Gibbs knowing." Bishop said.
"I don't see what the big deal is if Gibbs knows about us, he would be a hypocrite to pass judgement on us considering his track record and the fact that he had no idea about Tony and Ziva until Tali was brought to Tony years ago."
After the conversation that Bishop and Torres had decided what they wanted to do before they turned in for the night. Bishop wanted to watch a movie whereas Torres was opting for a group shower. The couple compromised and did both. By the time they had fallen asleep around 3am, they didn't know that they would getting very little sleep that night. About two hours after they had fallen asleep, they both gotten a call to come in for a case that had come in.
When they had gotten to the crime scene, Bishop and Torres were surprise to see that the team was joined by Gibbs and Jenny. Once Gibbs and Jenny noticed that Bishop and Torres were around, they dropped what they were doing.
"If you break her heart, you will answer to me before her brothers get their turn." Gibbs said as he clamped his hand on Torres' shoulder.
"I know that you're worried about Jethro knowing about you and Nick, just know that you don't have to be; Ellie." Jenny said.
"Why?" Bishop questioned.
"Jethro is fine with you two being together. In fact, you and Nick along with Tony and Ziva remind us of ourselves."
It was then that Jenny saw a small tinge of fear in Bishop's eyes and she knew exactly where Bishop had gone.
"You and Nick won't end up like Jethro and me. After what you went through with Jake and then losing Qasim after he had proposed to you, things will be better this time around for you; Ellie. You have my word."
With that, everyone got back to work at the crime scene.
