A/N: Wow. First, this story hit over 100 reviews last chapter. I never expected that to happen. So I'd like to thank everyone for taking the time. I'd also like to give a special thanks to ladybugsmomma, AliyahNCIS, Mrs. Elizabeth Gibbs, and Danimina Whore for reviewing just about every chapter and for giving me some great feedback and ideas.
Second, this chapter is also shorter than I'd originally expected/intended but it felt as though it should end where it does. Also, like I promised this chapter is better, not necessarily happy, but happier and has some good team family moments.

Disclaimer: I only get Alana, Jenkins, and Wren and I'd like to toss the last two out the window of a very high building.

Gibbs didn't look back once as he pulled the car, screeching, from the curb. He'd heard Jenkins screaming something about court and kidnapping but Gibbs really couldn't care less at the moment.

He shot through the city, pulling into a parking spot in the hospital lot with a squeal of tires.

Gibbs paused briefly before getting out, trying to figure out how he wanted to get Alana help. He eventually decided that he would just carry her up, but he would have to walk as he didn't know how bad her injuries were. Decision made he launched himself from the car and around to the backseat.

Alana stirred when Gibbs scooped her out of the car. Her eyes blinked open slowly and she focused hazy green on Gibbs, "Daddy?"

"I'm here baby girl. I'm here, I've gotcha," he tightened his grip on her slightly, walking as quickly as he could to the emergency room. "I'm so sorry baby girl." Alana snuggled into him before losing consciousness once more. It took all of his self control not to run straight to the emergency room right then.

Their entrance into the hospital immediately drew attention. The sight of Alana, curled up in Gibbs' arms, blood streaming from her nose, staining both her own clothes and his, had plenty of people rushing to help. Someone shouted something and soon the room was swarming with even more Doctors and nurses. Alana was taken from Gibbs' arms and laid out on a gurney that several people wheeled away.

A nurse appeared at Gibbs' elbow with a wet cloth just as he moved to follow the gurney. She caught him by the elbow and shook her head gently when he looked back at her. When he didn't pull away she handed over the cloth, asking, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Gibbs shook his head, "I just found her."

The nurse nodded sadly, "Are you related to the victim?"

"Alana. I'm her father."

The nurse could sense that he was much too distressed to be much help to her at the moment and instead guided him to a seat in the waiting room. "We'll call you as soon as we have news. Is there anyone you would like me to call?"

Gibbs shook his head. He handed back the cloth with a mumbled, "Thank you," before collapsing into the chair. He took a deep breath before pulling out his phone and dialing the first number.

"Shepard." Jenny's quiet and sleep muffled voice brought a faint smile to Gibbs face.

"Jen." The quietness of Gibbs' voice had Jenny fully awake.

"Jethro? What's wrong?"

"I need you to come to Bethesda. Lana's been hurt."

He could hear Jenny stumbling about, grabbing her things. "What. Happened?" she gritted out.

"Wren wasn't willing to wait," Gibbs growled.

He smirked a little when Jenny cursed. "I'm leaving now," she told him. He gave her directions to find him and was about to hang up when Jenny stopped him, "Jethro. She'll be okay."

Gibbs simply grunted and flipped the phone shut.

He scrubbed a hand down his face before pulling himself together and dialing the second number.

"Doctor Mallard," Ducky answered.

"Duck. Need you to come down to Bethesda. Lana's hurt," Gibbs rattled off quickly.

He heard Ducky's sharp intake of breath, "I'll call the team." There was a click as the line went dead and Gibbs slumped forward immediately.

NCIS

Jenny slipped into the seat next to him a few minutes later. She wrapped and arm around him, resting her head against his shoulder.

Gibbs sat up slowly, one hand coming up to grip the one she placed over his heart.

They sat, silent and motionless, until the team arrived.

Abby raced into the room first, boots thunking against the tile as she hurried to them.

Jenny and Gibbs stood as one to catch the distraught Goth.

Alana flung her arms around both of them, "She's gonna be okay, right?" She's not too hurt? Ooh. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts, positive thoughts." She broke away from them, clenching her fists at her sides and squeezing her eyes shut as she repeated the words. Suddenly her eyes popped open, "Does killing the person that did this could as positive thoughts?"

"I should like a crack at the charlatan myself," Ducky joined them at that moment, Tony, Ziva, McGee, and Palmer trailing after him.

Jenny gave Gibbs a meaningful look, "So would I."

Gibbs eyed her a moment. "I get him," he growled, "You can have Wren."

"Boss, what the hell happened?" Tony spoke up as soon as they were within earshot. The look he was giving Gibbs was slightly accusatory and Gibbs couldn't conjure up the desire to glare back at him.

"Wren brought her to her father." The self-loathing was evident in his tone.

There was a collective gasp from the group.

"How did she get Alana in the first place?" Tony spat, the accusation clear in his voice this time.

"She had a court order, Agent DiNozzo," Jenny's voice was cold having sensed the anger and slight animosity rolling off of the younger man in waves.

The team was silent as Gibbs spun on his heel and walked away. The look Jenny sent in Tony's direction was half glare, half sorrow.

"I do not understand," Ziva spoke when their bosses turned the corner, "Why did Gibbs not simply ignore the court order? He ignores everything else."

"He can't do much in jail Ziva," Tony snapped as he headed after his boss.

He caught up to Jenny and Gibbs around the corner.

Gibbs was leaning against the wall, his head back and his eyes closed. Jenny stood before him, her head bowed and resting against his chest, her hands clutching his at his sides.

Tony stopped a few feet from them. "Dad," he infused the single word with as much feeling and apology as he could. Both Gibbs and Jenny looked up at the Senior Field Agent. Tony paused a moment to take in their tired expressions, trying not to let the sense of guilt at his outburst overwhelm him. "What can I do?"

Gibbs wrapped an arm around Jenny, pulling her close and pressing a kiss to her hair before answering, "Soon as we know Lana's okay take the team and find Wren, the bastard that did this, and the idiot Judge that signed that court order."

Tony nodded, his eyes going to Jenny. Her face was buried into Gibbs' neck and Tony could see the tension in her shoulders. "Mom," the word slipped out before Tony even realized he'd made the decision to speak. When Jenny looked up he just barreled on without stopping to pick his words, hoping his gut would serve him well. "She'll be okay. She's a Gibbs. And you know them," he grinned, "they're part Superman."

They were all silent a moment as he finished speaking. Then Jenny pulled away from Gibbs and closed the distance to Tony. She reached up and laid a hand on his cheek, leaning forward to kiss his other cheek. "Thank you," she whispered to him as she pulled away, her hand not leaving his face just yet.

Tony grinned down at her, one hand coming up to hold the one still on his cheek, "Anytime Mom." He met Gibbs' eyes over her shoulder, nodding to him before flashing Jenny one more grin and heading back to the waiting room and the rest of the team.

Gibbs came up behind Jenny after Tony left, wrapping his arms around her, hands resting protectively on her stomach. Jenny leaned against him, one hand going up to cup his cheek as he rested his chin on her shoulder, the other covering his.

"I forgot that agreeing to marry you also meant taking in four extra kids." She could feel Gibbs grin and snuggled into him more, content in this moment to just be with him; safe in his arms.

NCIS

Wren barely glanced up at the ringing of her cell phone. Without checking the caller ID she put the phone to her ear, "Eliza Wren."

"Eliza," Jenkins' voice was slightly raspy.

"Ryan!" Eliza pushed away her paperwork and sat up to give Jenkins her full attention, "I was just about to call you. How are you two doing?"

"Eliza, Alana's been kidnapped."

"What? How? By who?"

"A man, about six foot two, grey hair, blue eyes. He broke in while I was taking a nap and took Alana. I woke up when he was walking out and he threatened me. The guy had a gun Eliza!"

Wren growled. She had a pretty good idea about who the man was and thus knew she didn't really have to worry about Alana's well being but she was still pissed. "What did he say?" she tried to make sure Jenkins knew her anger was directed at Gibbs and not him.

"'If you come near my daughter again I'll kill you'," Jenkins quoted.

Wren sighed, "Ryan, I'll take care of it. Don't worry about Alana, she'll be fine, and I'll have her back to you as soon as possible."

"Thank you Eliza," Jenkins breathed.

"No problem Ryan. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to make some calls," Wren glared at the wall of her cubicle.

"Of course Eliza. Thank you again."

"Take care," Wren told him as she hung up her phone. She glared at the wall a moment longer before picking the phone back up and dialing the next number.

"Yeah, Gibbs," the Special Agent answered on the second ring.

"Special Agent Gibbs," Wren's voice was ice, "Where did you take Alana?"

"To the hospital," Gibbs spat, "She needs medical attention after what that bastard did to her."

He hung up the phone before she could say anything and for a moment Wren just sat, frozen. He was lying, he had to be. Ryan would never do something like that. But all the while another thought nagged in the back of her head. Gibbs may be a bastard, but he doesn't lie about things like this.

NCIS

Gibbs slammed his phone shut but a nurse appeared before he could do anything else.

He was on his feet in an instant, as were the rest of the team. Jenny slipped her hand into his, both giving and drawing comfort.

"Family for Alana?" the nurse checked. At their nods she continued, "Alana suffered a broken wrist and several bruised ribs. She also had two severe lacerations, one on her right arm that looked too old to be from the attack, and one just beneath her ribs on the left side that needed stitches. She has a few minor cuts and will likely be bruised and sore for several days, but she will be fine."

The whole room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Abby stepped forward, "Can we see her?"

The nurse nodded, "She was sedated for the stitching and has yet to regain consciousness. I would ask that for the time being only two people be in her room at a time, until she has regained consciousness." She added Alana's room number and the name of her doctor before flashing the group a smile and returning to the information desk.

For a time they were all silent, just basking in the good news.

It was Ducky that spoke first. "Well, as her parents," the look he gave Jenny and Gibbs held warning as well as relief, "I believe that you two should stay with her for the night. We shall return tomorrow morning." The team nodded, even Abby, although it took some prodding from Tony and McGee.

"Thanks Duck," Gibbs nodded gratefully to his old friend.

There was a moment where they all stared at each other then Abby flung herself at Gibbs.

"See Papa Bear? She's fine," Abby's voice was choked and she honestly couldn't tell who she was trying to comfort. Gibbs squeezed her tight once before kissing her cheek and letting her go. Abby wrapped her arms around Jenny next, "She'll be fine Mommy."

"Go home and get some sleep Abs," Jenny half laughed, realizing both that it probably wouldn't happen and that she really was starting to sound like a mom.

Tony, McGee, Ducky, Palmer, and Gibbs shook hands. Then the boys stood by as Ducky gave Jenny a quick kiss on the cheek. Ziva simply nodded to both before following the group out.

Jenny and Gibbs waited for the doors to close behind the team to head in the direction of Alana's room.

They walked through the halls slowly, hands entwined. Neither felt the need to say anything, allowing their physical contact to speak for them.

For a moment they simply stood at the doorway to Alana's room taking her in. She had been cleaned and dressed in a pale green hospital gown. Her right arm was in a cast from the hand until halfway up her arm. There was new bandage on her right arm and another one just above her left eye. A heart monitor was attached to the wrist not in the cast and she'd been laid flat on her back to sleep. The position seemed unnatural to the adults as both knew she preferred to curl up on her side in the tightest ball possible when sleeping.

Jenny preceded Gibbs into the room, though she never let go of his hand. They pulled a pair of chairs up next to the bed and sat down.

Gibbs reached out to brush the hair off Alana's forehead, leaning forward to place a kiss to her uninjured temple. He sat back and Jenny leaned forward to do the same.

Once she was comfortable Jenny took Alana's hand in her free one. Gibbs placed his hand gently on Alana's shoulder, his fingers just brushing against the girl's neck.

"Mommy and Daddy are here baby girl," Gibbs whispered.

NCIS

They'd fallen into silence after Gibbs' words, both lost in their own thoughts.

Feeling himself start to doze off Gibbs shook his head and sat up. He glanced over Alana again and realized what was missing.

Jenny jumped when he stood abruptly and he offered an apologetic smile. Kissing the crown of her head he whispered, "I'm going to get Teddy."

Jenny smiled faintly as he left, her gaze settling once again on the little girl lying in the bed.

Alana let out a slight moan and twitched slightly in her sleep. Jenny was one her feet in an instant.

"Shh, sh, baby, it's okay. You're safe," Jenny stroked Alana's head as she spoke. Fleetingly she wondered if you could dream while under sedation but another moan from Alana banished all unrelated thought from her mind.

Alana's eyes blinked open slowly and instantly she was frantic. Her pulse jumped as she panicked in the short moments when she opened her eyes and she didn't immediately see her Mommy or Daddy. Then her eyes settled on Jenny and she lunged forward. Jenny sat down on the bed quickly and caught Alana in her arms.

"Mommy," Alana sobbed.

Jenny tightened her grip on Alana fractionally, reminding herself just in time that Alana was injured and probably hurting pretty bad, continuing to whisper nonsensical words of comfort to the child.

NCIS

Alana's tears had ebbed and she was just drifting back to sleep when Gibbs walked in. He noticed the change in positions and used all of his skill to slip into the room and sit down without being noticed.

Jenny met his eyes as he sat down and she offered him a tight smile. He didn't even bother to return it as he handed over Teddy. Jenny took the bear from him, slipping it between herself and Alana with some difficulty.

As few minutes later Jenny became aware of Alana having fallen asleep and tried to lay her back down. But Alana just clung tighter, unwilling, even in sleep, to let go of Jenny just yet.

Jenny smiled ruefully at Gibbs, "She's attached."

Gibbs smiled back and climbed to his feet, "Lie down, get some sleep. I'll watch."

At Jenny's consenting nod he helped her to lie down and adjust Alana so that they would both be comfortable.

"Wake me in five hours," Jenny instructed as her eyes slid closed.

Gibbs simply kissed her forehead then Alana's and sat down to watch over them.

A/N: So I think I know what I'm going to do to Jenkins, but I have no real idea how to deal with Wren just yet. So please, send me ideas, I could use the help.
