Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to update! Ii've been really busy with school and stuff. Anyway, I thought I'd make this the last chapter. I still have to finish my other fics. I'm thinking of posting the next chapter to Love, Lessons, and Life followed by the next chapter of Unexpected Introductions, then After Hours.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble. The premire is tomorrow (plus two hours)! I'm soo excited!


Skyler didn't want to wake up in the morning. Her biological parents, the people she'd wanted to meet her entire life, hated her. They threatened to kill her. They replaced her with her worst enemy. And what was worse was that that enemy was her half sister. She just wanted to lay there the whole day and not have to worry about anything, but Tristan made her get out of bed.

"Come on, Sky. Worrying about it isn't going to do anything." Skyler groaned.

"Nothing's going to fix this Tris, they hate us! Our parents hate us!" If Skyler were anyone else, she would probably be sobbing, but she just seemed angry. Tristan sat down on his sister's bed.

"Look...Sky? Did you ever think that maybe they were just defending the kid they knew they had. I mean, think about it from their perspective. Their first two children are taken from them, and they barely even know why. Wouldn't you think they'd be a little overprotective? I mean, Mom's like that with us and we're not even her real kids." Skyler sighed.

"Thanks Tris." Skyler hugged her brother. Normally, this would have been awkward for them, but the past few days had been so bad, they didn't seem to mind. All of a sudden, Skyler started laughing. Tristan looked concerned.

"What?"

"I hope Dad doesn't kill Ziva and Tony. I kind of like them." Tristan smiled.

"Let's go." They both got off the bed and grabbed the bags they brought into NCIS with them the previous morning. They walked to Ziva and Tony's house. Even from outside they could tell Gibbs was yelling at them. They braced themselves and pulled on the door handle just as Heather pushed it open. The twins could tell she had been crying. They were all quiet for awhile until Heather decided to break the silence.

"Guys, I'm so so sorry."

"Don't apologize," Tristan said.

"What?"

"It's a sign of weakness," Skyler finished. She smiled and gave Heather a hug. Heather broke down.

"I just feel so bad! I mean, I knew! I should have told them and I...I just feel like such a bitch!"

"Heather. We're fine. We forgive you. You're our sister." Skyler paused. "So we'll just get used to this together ok? We're family, that's what we do." Heather sniffed and looked at Skyler.

"Ok." The two girls hugged again.

"Uh...I hate to break up this love fest," Tristan said, "but I think we'd better hurry up." The three kids looked up to the second floor. All three could hear Gibbs screaming at Tony and Ziva. They ran into the house and up the stairs.

"...not only insulted your children, you've insulted me!"

"Boss, we're sorry!"

"You should be! You two are so..."

"Dad," Skyler yelled. All three adults turned to look at the kids. Skyler stared at Gibbs.

"Just leave them alone! I know you're trying to help, but scaring the shit out of them isn't going to do anything. Just...can you please go home? Mom's really worried." Gibbs looked from Tony and Ziva to Skyler and back again. Then, without a word, he stormed out of the room. Tony and Ziva looked at the kids they thought they lost.

"Guys I'm so sorry," Tony said.

"We both are," Ziva added. Skyler shrugged.

"I get it. You think Heather's your only kid, you're bound to to be a little overprotective, especially after you thought we were dead." Ziva sighed and stared at her shoes.

"I still can't believe my father would do something like that. I mean, making me think my children are dead..."

"Ima," Skyler said, "it's ok. You know we're alive now." Ziva stared at Skyler, shocked.

"Zee, are you ok," Tony asked.

"What did you just call me," Ziva asked her daughter. Skyler smiled.

"I thought you were Israeli." Ziva smiled.

"I am."

"So then you should know what I called you." Ziva smiled. Skyler awkwardly stepped forward and hugged Ziva. Tony and Tristan looked at each other, slightly uncomfortable with Skyler's sudden display of emotion.

"Uh...Sky? Why are you hugging Ima?" Skyler never took her eyes off of Ziva.

"She's my mother. I'm allowed to do that." Ziva's features softened. Once Skyler let go of Ziva, she turned to Tony.

"I have to admit, I'm kind of glad I know my biological dad isn't anything like Gibbs."

Tony smiled.

"And why is that?" Tristan laughed.

"He scares her." Skyler turned to her brother and punched his arm.

"Ow!" Tony and Ziva smiled and looked at each other.

"What?"

"It's just...you guys are so much like us." There was a brief silence.

"I'm going to go to Katie's," Heather said. She turned and started walking away.

"Heather wait," Skyler and Tristan said at the same time. Heather turned.

"We've got some catching up to do," Tristan said. And with that, Tony, Ziva, the twins, and Heather all sat down to talk about the past fourteen years of their lives.


I know, I know, sappy ending, but I couldn't help it /
