Dear Jennifer

We took you home today. I've had to give in and call you Jennifer. I tried calling you Tali for a couple of days but your mom kept giving me death glares and threatening to Gibbs slap me. So, in the interest of preserving my remaining brain cells, I gave in. Gibbs told me it was a wise move. I guess he would know, since he's had four wives.

They kept you in hospital for a week because you were early. Just incase your lungs or heart or anything was weak. But you take after your parents, you're a fighter. There's nothing wrong with you.

So you're home. I thought it would be easier now you're here. But it's not. It's scarier. Cause anything could happen to you. We've went round babyproofing my apartment. And we see so many horrible things in our job, it makes it worse.

I promise you Jennifer Tali, I will do my very best to protect you from whatever I can. I would kill for you and your mom, and I would die for you. Remember that always.

love

Dad xxxx
