AN: The amazing response about last chapter was awesome! I am so glad that you all liked that Nikki met Kate, Shannon, and Kelly! Thank you for the continued support! Here's the next chapter!

After McGee and Ziva went in to see Nikki, Tony left to visit Rachel, but Abby stayed. McGee and Ziva visited for a moment, but knew that their surrogate mother was waiting to see her little girl and they left and joined the others in Rachel's room. Jenny walked in and noticed that Abby had bothered moving, but lifted her head to take notice of her. Jenny didn't care and sat opposite of the young woman, taking her daughter's hand in hers.

Jenny almost jumped for joy when she saw her daughter's eyes open and heard her moan. She leaned over the bed and Nikki opened her eyes.

"NnnMomma?" Nikki slurred. Jenny felt the tears coming, but held them off.

"Oh baby, you're going to be okay," Jenny said, "You're safe and so is Rachel."

"What's goin' on?" Nikki asked. She looked around the room and at Abby and her mother.

"Your Daddy and brothers and sisters found you. You're in the hospital," Jenny told her little girl.

"Hospital?" Nikki thought for a minute and remembered Kate talking to her while she was asleep,"Mommy, I had a dream and you'll never believe who was in it!"

Jenny smiled at her little girl and over to Abby. Abby was smiling down at Nikki. Nikki looked to Abby and tried to sit up and hug her.

"Nikki, it's okay. I'll come to you," Abby said and gently wrapped her younger sister in her arms, "I was so worried and I'm glad you and Rachel are okay. I think we were all going crazy trying to find you guys and now you're here and safe and I don't think that Mommy and Daddy are ever going to let you two out of their sights again!"

"Abs, breathe," Nikki said. Abby let her go and looked at Nikki and smiled.

"Abby, why don't you go tell your father, brothers, sisters, and grandfather that your sister's awake and she's going to be fine, okay?" Jenny asked/told Abby. Abby nodded and hugged Nikki again gently. She left the room to tell them and Jenny sat on the side of the bed.

"Can I tell you who was in my dream now?" Nikki asked.

"Mm-hmm, go right ahead," Jenny said. She was so happy that her little girl was going to be fine.

"Well, I was in a funny, but pretty place and these girls came to me. One had pretty brown hair and brown eyes, and she said she was NCIS agent Kate Todd!" Nikki exclaimed and Jenny looked at her daughter when she heard that name.

She and the others had spoken of Kate to the girls, but they never really knew what she looked like.

"Oh really? What did Kate have to say?" Jenny asked.

"She said that she and the others were keeping me company til I had to go. She also said that you and her met in that place before me and Rachel were born," Nikki said animatedly.

"Well, she's right! It was a long time ago and I was in the hospital just like you. I was shot and had gone into a deep sleep like you. She came to me to keep me company until it was time for me to wake up," Jenny recalled.

"Wow! So, you met her too?" Nikki said excitedly. Jenny nodded and smiled at her child when a person clearing their throat interrupted Nikki's story about her dream. Nikki looked around Jenny to see her Daddy standing in the doorway.

"Daddy!" Nikki said. Gibbs smiled and walked over to his daughter's bedside and sat opposite of Jenny. He wrapped his arms around his little one, minding her injuries as best he could.

"I'm so glad you're safe and okay," he murmured in her ear.

"Thank you for saving me," she whispered back.

"Always, baby, always. I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," she said. He let her go and sat up against Jenny.

"I was telling Nikki about the time when I got shot and met Kate in my dream world," Jenny told her husband.

He remembered that day quite clearly. It was the time he almost lost the love of his life and they would've never had the beautiful children they had today. He wrapped an arm around Jenny's waist and tugged her gently to him. Jenny kissed his cheek.

"Are you gonna listen to the rest or not?" Nikki demanded.

"I'm sorry sweetie, go ahead," Jenny replied her attention now on her baby.

"Okay, so, after I spoke with Kate a little girl a bit older than me came over. She had long hair that was a mix between red and brown and pretty eyes like Daddy's. She said her name was Kelly, and that she was mine and Rachel's big sister. She told me to tell Daddy not to blame himself anymore and that she loves him and that she's happy that she has sisters like me and Rachel," Nikki said.

At the mention of Kelly, Gibbs eyes glazed over and he went back to a time he had spent with his girl before that inevitable day.

"Daddy, did you hear me?" Nikki asked concerned. Gibbs came back from the past and looked at Nikki with tear-filled eyes.

"Yes," he choked out.

"And next came another woman who had red hair like Mommy, but it wasn't as long. She said to tell Daddy that she loves him and that she's glad that he got to have another family with us. She said her name was…was Shannon," Nikki said.

Gibbs went back to the past again. He remembered riding on the beach with Shannon and Kelly and meeting Shannon at the train station and seeing her for the first time in that store front window.

Nikki looked from her mother to her father and saw that distant look. She reached out with her good arm and placed her hand on Gibbs' hand and patted it. Gibbs smiled at her and leaned over to kiss her forehead.

"Thank you for telling us this baby," Gibbs said softly.

"You're welcome," Nikki replied yawning.

"Baby, you're tired. Get some rest," Jenny told her.

"Are you gonna be here when I wake up again?" Nikki asked.

"Sweetie, I can promise that there will always be someone with you at all times. One of us or your brothers, sisters, or Grandpa will be in here with you at all times," Gibbs told her.

"Okay," Nikki said tiredly and fell asleep again.

Jenny and Gibbs kissed her forehead. They moved over to the door and stood there watching her sleep.

"How're we going to do this?"Jenny asked.

"Well, None of have slept since they were taken and I am not leaving. I know you're not either," Gibbs said thinking on the arrangements, "Me and Ziva will stay with Rachel while you and Abby will stay with Nikki tonight and I'll send the boys and Ducky home."

"Jethro, much as I don't want to admit it, but we are going to have to sleep eventually," Jenny said.

"I have a couple cots back at my apartment if you want to use them," said a voice behind them.

They turned to see Ziva, Tony, and McGee standing there. The pair stepped out of the room not to disturb the little person inside and not to far that they could see her.

"What are you thinking, Ziva?" Gibbs asked.

"If the doctors permit us, we can set some cots up in the girls' rooms, out of the way that way we can rotate, but never have to leave if absolutely necessary," Ziva said.

"I don't think the doctors are going to go for that," Jenny said.

"Boss, none of us are going to want to leave now that they're safe," Tony said, "We all want to make sure that they don't disappear again."

Gibbs smirked at the three in front of him.

"I'm with them, Boss," McGee agreed.

"I'll see what we can do," Jenny said and went off to find the doctor. Gibbs watched her walk away and turned to the three about to tell them to go home, but he stopped.

All three of his agents had their arms crossed in front of them and were shaking their heads at him. They were telling him no before he was going to tell them to go home. He grinned inside knowing that he was fighting a losing battle. He opened his mouth to dispute with the agents, his children, but they gave him a look.

"No, this is the only option we are going to work with. Abby and Ducky said that they would go and get us all things we needed while Ziva, McGee, and I will go gather the cots and sleeping bags," Tony said.

Gibbs sighed. The battle was over before it had begun. He caved and nodded to his agents. Jenny came walking back.

"The doctor said it's okay as long as we aren't in the way of them being able to check on them and to make adjustments to their medications and things like that, but considering that Rachel is being discharged tomorrow so this arrangement can be just for tonight," Jenny said looking at her children.

They looked at each other with winning smiles and nodded. Jenny shook her head.

"I'll stay with Nikki and Jethro, you stay with Rachel and when they get back we can go over sleeping arrangements," Jenny said. They split up and went to their separate places.

An hour later it was set up. Jenny, Ziva, and Abby were in Nikki's room and Gibbs, Tony, McGee, and Ducky were in Rachel's room. All parties were content and all were sleeping comfortably. They were all happy that their family was together again.
