A/N: sorry about bad updating but been busy with school and having moajor issues with my computer
a few days later
Abby woke up to her alarm on her cellphone going off and she skips over to see Zack wasn't in the play yard that was in the room so she grabs some stuff and heads for the shower and afterwards she walks downstairs to see Tony standing in the kitchen making breakfast and smirk as hear TJ and Zack giggling in the living room watching Go Diego as Ziva walked in, "Morning Ziva."
Ziva takes the offered water from Tony, "The rest of the things that were sent from Rota arrived at the house last night so when want to unload things we can head there."
Gibbs walked in and poured some coffee before looking around, "Well, then finish eating breakfast and can head over there since going to take most of the day to get this done."
Tony makes plate for TJ before sitting it on one of high chairs in the room and Abby rolled her eyes, "I am glad to finally be back here."
Gibbs kissed the top of her head, "Good to have you back Abbs."
"It's definitely not the same around the place without you there," Tony said.
"Yes, it was much more quiet," Ziva told her.
"Well, hopefully Timmy gets back here soon and then can be a team again."
"Have you heard from him about when plans on coming back here?"
She shrugs, "Talk to him last night and should be done soon but no idea what Vance plans on doing with him once he's back."
"Probably be up to him," Tony suggested. "So maybe come back to the team."
Gibbs had been talking to Vance who wanted McGee to run his own team not as unique as MCRT but something similar but the younger agent hadn't gotten back to him, "Have to see what has to say."

the next day
After getting everything unloaded and sorted through an into the right rooms Abby had invited everyone to spend the night there since turned out to be an all day thing. By the time they had everything where Abby wanted them for now was pushing midnight so they all stayed much to the delight of the kids. Once everyone got to the bullpen Abby hurried off to drop the kids off at daycare before heading to her lab and smiled as see a bouquet of black roses sitting on her desk and read the card Thanks for everything you did Love, Luca; this brought a laugh since she was more than happy to have helped her little brother and his family.
Tony walked in a few more minutes later and spies the flowers, "McGushy send you flowers?"
She smacks his shoulder as she dances around the room turning on her machines, "I see by some notes here Heather taught Ziva and you a few things about how to use my babies?"
He takes a sip of his coffee, "Yep, she got swamped and we had nothing to do so she showed us a few things."
Abby patted his cheek before taking the Caf-Pow in his hand, "I showed Timmy the same thing and no the flowers are from Luca to thank me for helping him."
Vance walked in clearing his throat, "DiNozzo?"
he took this as his cue to leave, "Morning director."
He hands her some files, "I am setting up a team for a few months as a joint task force to catch some people who are hacking into different department and agency systems-"
"And you want Timmy to lead the team?" he nodded. "What are these?"
"Some files on agents you know that maybe able to help make up the team."
She set the files down, "And seeing as I am one of the best at getting into systems you want my opinion."
"You know a lot of those people in that stack and that's what have narrowed it down to." He leaves and she notices that nothing needed her attention so she sat down at her desk looking over some files and did recognize quite a few names in there that had known for years but needed to look over them more.

around lunchtime
McGee had gotten an early flight after finishing up things in Rota so he headed to the Navy Yard and after some talking to the guards he was allowed inside NCIS without an escort so he headed to the bullpen to see Max sitting at his desk but Tony and Ziva were there also arguing about something, "It has to be the best car chase movie ever," she said.
Tony rolls his eyes, "No, The Italian Job from 1969 is."
McGee drops his bag over the side of Ziva's desk but they don't notice but Gibbs walked in, "Okay kiddies don't make me separate you two again."
"Wait how long have they been fighting?" McGee asked making his presence known.
Tony glances over at his friend, "Not arguing there McProbie."
Ziva stands up and pulls him into a hug, "Good to see you are finally here."
"Abbs know your here?"
"Thought would surprise her and was last-minute flight here. Director wanted to see about something."
"Go talk to him and then see her," Gibbs told him. "Grab your gear dead body in Norfolk."
Carter who was the director secretary looked up when he stopped in front of his desk, "Is the director expecting you?"
McGee nods as sip his coffee, "McGee," the younger man looked at some paper before motioning for him to go inside. "Director."
Vance motioned for him to sit in one of the chairs across from him before hanging up, "Nice work over there McGee even if took so long. Payne has not stopped talking about how all of you worked together over there and was more than pleased with the result even with all that happened over there recently."
"it was different to run my own team over there even with Abby there."
He hands him some files, "Am sure Jorge has been talking to you about joining up with a team to but some high-tech hackers that are breaking into different systems of agencies but no one has been able to figure out who or where the man is but that's where going to make a joint operational team with NCIS as the lead and FBI. There's an open bullpen behind Gibbs that can use. In the mean time your team can also take on other cases to lighten the heavy load around here."
Ziva looks up from her computer when he walks down the stairs, "Everything alright, yes?"
"You coming back to us, probie?" Tony asked.
McGee grabs his backpack, "Just have somethings that need to do and yes was alright Ziva," he walks down to the lab and surprised at no music was blasting as see Abby standing at her monitors in middle of the room with her back to the door and notice Zack was in a swing that was placed in her office and wrapped his arms around her waist kissing her neck. She squealed as turned around to face him, "TIMMY! TIMMY! YOUR FINALLY HERE BUT WHEN?"
He's surprised more when she pulls him into a passionate kiss that leaves both of them breathless, "Just got here few minutes ago," he can see she was getting mad. "Director wanted to talk to me and thought easier to get that out-of-the-way first and then come down and see you."
Gibbs walks in and slaps the back of his head, "No playing grab ass at work."
Abby takes the Caf-Pow from him, "How about dinner for everyone tonight at our place?"
"Am sure would be fine baring we finish this case," Gibbs reminded her. "Anything?"
She taps away at her computer, "Prints match the victims lover and the blood you found belongs to him also."

that night
Abby smiled as she skipped over to where team Gibbs was doing paperwork and surprised to see Max was sitting at McGee's desk and the younger man doesn't look up from his file he had been filing out but points behind him to where McGee was on the phone with someone so she walks over there and waits. McGee noticed as Abby sat down on the edge of his desk as he hung up, "What's up Abbs?"
"So you figure out who are going to work with?" She asked as he took Zack from her. "On your team?"
Tony's interest peaked, "Probie is getting another team so soon?"
Abby reached over the divider and slapped the back of his head, "A special kind of team to catch hackers."
McGee watched as Ziva walked over, "So still meeting at your place for dinner?"
"Give it an hour and be there by six," Abby told them and waited for her husband to pack up and they all headed for the elevator. "Invite Sarah and Max?"
"Yes, and she said they will be there," he told her as they separate and head home.
Abby was quiet whole trip home except when she gave him direction until she walked inside and placed Zack in the playyard that was in the living room, "Have some stuff that can BBQ."He kissed her briefly and headed for the shower and she started to get things ready for the get together and was happy that he was finally back.

Time went by and soon there was a knock at the door and Abby skipped over with Zack on her hip to see Max and Sarah were the first ones there and she let's them inside where set a bowl and plate both covered on the counter and she hugs both of them minding the sleeping toddler in her arms, "Glad you could make it tonight."
Sarah kissed her nephew on the forehead, "My deadline was moved back a few days so have sometime and guess can break the news tonight."
Another knock and Tony walked in with TJ holding his hand wobbling a bit as walked inside, "Hm, something smells good," Ziva said. "What you making?"
McGee walked back inside from the backyard, "Thought would break in the new grill."
Abby answered the door to Gibbs and Ducky, "Now that all here how about we move to the backyard."
Tony watched as Sarah was looking like wanted to tell them something , "So probette you going to tell us something?"
Sarah smacked his shoulder, "Max proposed-"
Abby pulled her into a hug, "I am so happy for both of you," she pulled him into one. "About time you did."
Tony was happy for them even before their parents died the younger McGee was becoming part of their dysfunctional family, "I agree with Abbs it's about time you did but when?"
Max rubbed the back of his neck, "The last night they were here in DC at dinner."
"Figured would wait and tell you all when got back here," Sarah told them. "Seemed better that way."
"So probie what has Vance decided to do with you know that your back?" Tony asked.
McGee rubs the back of his neck, "Am going to work with a team to find some hackers that have been getting into different departments systems."
"So all going to be NCIS?"
"No, actually going to be out of he Navy Yard but a joint case with FBI, DOJ and NCIS."
Abby kisses his cheek, "At least you will still be there in the building."
