I have a nasty cold at the moment, so I gave it to Kelly in the hopes of sympathy ;). Thanks for the reviews :)
Gibbs glared after his oldest and turned just in time to see his youngest attempt to sneak past him. He grabbed her by the arm.
"Oh no you don't, Sophia Abigail Gibbs,"
Sophie paused and glared at the use of her full name.
"What?" she snapped.
"Sophie, Soph, why didn't you tell me?"
Sophia sighed and slumped her serious posture, as if a huge weight had been lifted.
"Honestly? I didn't know where to start, daddy."
The moment the word daddy left her mouth, Gibbs softened and Sophia knew it. He pulled her into his arms.
"Why, baby?"
"Can you say you'd find that conversation easy to start? You've never felt comfortable talking to me about sex. That's why I always go to mom."
"Look, Soph, I know I may be a little, uh, awkward about it, but that doesn't you mean you can't come to me. I'm happy to answer your questions."
"Ok, well, thank-you daddy, but, well, I'm finding it all out for myself at the moment."
Gibbs grimaced and Sophia chuckled.
"So, uh, how are you finding it?"
"Woah! Too far! I haven't even gone into that much detail with Kelly, and I tell her everything,"
"Well, tha-that's good, Soph. I'm glad. Sisters should be close,"
"Ok, stop torturing yourself, dad, I'm off to bed. I love you," she said, and hugged him tightly.
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head, "I love you too, baby girl,"

Jenny smiled when her world-weary husband stepped through their en-suite's doorway.
"Hello, lover. I take it you spoke to Sophia?"
"And Kelly. They came in at the same time, looking as if they'd both been ravished."
"That's 'cos they were, Jethro. And can you blame the young men, Jethro? We have two very stunning daughters, who are both sexy in their own rights."
Gibbs put his hands over his ears and Jenny chuckled.
The man will never change.
He sighed and then stripped off, stepping into the shower. Jenny smirked, removed her own clothing and followed her husband.

"ANTHONY DOMINIC DINOZZO, YOU ARE DEAD MEAT WHEN I GET HOLD OF YOU!"
It was a pleasant alarm clock on a Saturday morning on his weekend off. Gibbs groaned as Kelly came storming into their bedroom.
"WHAT, Kels?!"
"I'VE GOT A COLD! STUPID DINOZZO, GETTING US ARRESTED AND HAVING TO SLEEP IN THAT FREEZING CELL!"
"Kels, you were in there for two hours," a now half-awake Jenny mumbled.
"I DO NOT CARE, IT IS HIS FAULT AND HE IS ABOUT TO FIND THAT OUT!" She yelled, and left the bedroom as noisily as she had arrived.
"I almost feel sorry for DiNozzo," Jenny murmured, and Gibbs snorted into his pillow.

Tony groaned as the hammering on his front door increased in volume, and staggered out of bed and across the apartment to see who was behind it. He frowned when he saw Kelly, pale-skinned, eyes and nose streaming.
"Baby? What's up?"
"Shh, I kinda hate you a little bit right now. Just let me in, I brought some clothes over."
"Right, well, I'm going back to bed. Wake me when you don't hate me at all. Here:" he said, and dropped a key into her palm.
"Tony?"
"So you don't break the door down next time."
"Isn't this too soon?" she asked his retreating back.
"No," he called over his shoulder and then grunted as she collided with him at full force, wrapping her arms tightly around him. He grinned and turned, pulling her into bear hug. She sniffled.
"What's wrong, baby girl?"
"I feel really ill."
Tony chuckled into her hair and scooped her up. He carried her into his bedroom and stripped her, before redressing her in one of his t-shirts and helping her into bed. He then headed into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and some aspirin and headed back to the bedroom. His girl had already crashed out, so he put the pills and drink on the nightstand for when she woke up. He then dressed and headed down to the corner store to get the ingredients for his Aunt Viola's infamous soup, something he had considered a cold cure since he was little. He also picked up some cough syrup and some more tissues. He had just entered his apartment again when his mobile rang.
"Yeah, DiNozzo," he answered.
"Tony?" It was Gibbs. "Where's Kelly?"
"Oh hey, boss. She's currently in my bed."
"WHY?"
"'Cos she passed out. I just popped down to the store for some soup and medicine. I kinda feel responsible for getting her ill, boss, its no problem looking after her."
"Ok, DiNozzo, just watch out you don't get ill too. Last thing I need is half my team out."
Tony puffed out his chest, "DiNozzo men don't get ill,"
"Yeah, yeah," Gibbs replied sarcastically and hung up.
"Charming," Tony muttered to himself and then dumped the shopping bags in the kitchen before looking in on Kelly. She was still fast asleep. He headed back to the kitchen to get started on the soup.
-
Two hours later, he carried the tray into his room. Kelly was still out like a light. He set the tray on the floor and sat on the bed next to her, feeling her forehead. She was a little warm. He brushed her hair off of her brow.
"Kels? Kel-leeeee," he murmured.
She frowned, looking irritated in her sleep and knocked his hand away.
"Kelly, come on, baby girl, I've got you some food, time to wake up. Kels?"
Kelly blearily opened her eyes and blinked, trying to clear the sleep from them.
"Tony?"
"That's right, princess, it's me. Come on, sit up, I've brought you some food."
Kelly groaned and allowed Tony to help her into a sitting position, and then placed the tray on her lap. She sniffled. Tony thought she looked adorable, hair everywhere, squinty eyes and a red nose.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked, thickly.
"Because I love you," he replied, and then winced as tears spilled out of Kelly's eyes and down her cheeks.
"What, baby?"
"I love you too," she murmured, before taking another mouthful of the heart-warming soup.
"Good to know, Kels. I'll be in the lounge. Your father has ordered me not to get sick,"
Kelly chuckled and allowed him to go, finishing off her soup placing her tray on the floor and snuggling back under the covers.

She woke another couple of hours later and trudged out of bed, feeling a little better and following the sound of the music. She chuckled when she found her lover. He was passed out on the sofa, music playing on the record player. At the sound of her laughter he woke, looked around and smiled when he saw her. He got to his feet and pulled her into is arms. She laughed again when he started to dance with her, and leant her head on his shoulder, listening to the lyrics of the music. There really was something magical about ol' blue eyes.
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
By the time the song ended, Kelly was weeping onto his shoulder.
"Kels…" he murmured, softly.
She sniffled, "'M sorry Tony. Jus' crazy how much my life has changed recently. I never dreamed you'd love me back."
"I love you more than life itself, Kelly-girl,"
She smiled tearfully at him and then sealed her lips against his, kissing him passionately. He sighed against her lips.
Well, what the hell. If he got sick, he got sick.
-
Kelly woke the next morning feeling a hell of a lot better. She was still a little sniffly, but maybe it was a twenty-four hour thing. She stretched deliciously and grinned as she remembered what had happened the night before. Tony was a wonderful lover and he looked after he had looked after so well when she had felt so ill. He would make and amazing father to her children.
Even if he didn't know it yet.
