Ok, so I apologize profusely for taking so long to update! If you knew how hectic my life has been recently you would totally understand. The kids that I nanny for just got out of school for the summer, so really good friends of mine are moving to freaking Alaska! I said goodbye to them this morning, talk about sadness! I've had like five friends graduate high school this year, so I've been planning/going to a million parties it seems like. BUT I finally have the week off and no plans, so I should be able to get a few chapters out! Sorry to have kept you guys waiting, I was doing well on my updates there for a bit.

So I hope you enjoy this chapter! Please review and tell me what you think!

PS, I'm not sure if I responded to everyone's reviews last chapter, so if I didn't, I'm very sorry and thank you!

Amelia and Luke sat in the back of Gibbs' car quietly until Luke spoke up,

"So was that your dad?" he asked, talking about Gibbs.

"Yes," Amelia said reluctantly. In the week she had been in DC and in school she had managed to completely avoid talking about her family. Not wanting to have to explain the situation to anyone. Now though, she wasn't sure how much longer she would be able to get away with it.

"He seems like such a hard ass, he's a little scary," Luke admitted.

"Wouldn't know," Amelia said with a shrug. Luke looked at her a little oddly but decided not to ask any questions, for which Amelia was thankful.

"What are your parents going to think? When you get brought home by cops?" she asked him, changing the subject and focus to him. Luke shrugged,

"They'll probably be pissed, I'll be grounded for a couple days, and then they'll get over it. That's usually how it goes."

"You're lucky. I have a feeling Gibbs is really pissed," she said.

"Why do you call him Gibbs?"

"Because I don't want to call him dad," she said simply. Before Luke could say anything else Gibbs and Tony slid back into the car. Ziva and Tim were riding back with another agent, leaving these two to drive the teenager's home. It was a quiet drive, the only conversation being Luke giving Gibbs directions to his house. It took about twenty minutes and when they pulled up to the house Gibbs and Tony escorted Luke to the door. A few moments after ringing the doorbell a sleepy looking man opened the door,

"What?" he asked rudely. Upon seeing his son standing in front of him between the two men that were obviously cops he woke up a little, "What's wrong?"

"I'm Agent Gibbs, NCIS. Your son was at a party in the woods when a dead marine stumbled upon him and another teenager."

"What kind of party?" the man asked angrily.

"It wasn't a party dad, just some people hanging out," Luke insisted. His father looked at him closely,

"Have you been drinking?"

"No!"

"Get inside, we will talk about this later," he pulled Luke inside and pushed him towards another room then turned to face Gibbs and Tony, "You said something about a dead person?"

"Yes, he was in the woods when the dead marine stumbled out of the bushes. Both of them are fine, physically, just a little shaken up I think," Gibbs informed the man.

"Ok, thanks. I'll make sure he's alright. Thanks for bringing him home Agent Gibbs."

"No problem, have a good night." Gibbs and Tony walked back to the car and slid in without saying a word. Amelia still sat in the back seat, arms crossed over her chest, obviously pouting. Gibbs rolled his eyes and began driving back to NCIS. His plan was to take Tony back to work so that he could help Tim and Ziva, while he took his daughter home and they had a little chat.

"Don't stay too late Tony," Gibbs warned as he dropped off the senior agent. Tony nodded and headed inside, leaving Gibbs and Amelia alone in the car together. Neither of them said anything on the fifteen minute drive home and as soon as they were in the driveway Amelia jumped out of the car, not even waiting for Gibbs to put it in park. She stormed inside as quickly as she could, not wanting to be around Gibbs at the moment. Before she could even set foot on the stairs Gibbs stopped her,

"Don't even think about going up those stairs young lady," he said firmly. Amelia rolled her eyes, but turned around none the less.

"What?" She snapped.

"What do you mean what? I want to know what you were thinking when you went to that party tonight?" Gibbs said, trying to stay calm.

"It wasn't a party," she said, shrugging.

"Don't lie to me Amelia. I know that there was a party going on, and lying to me about it is not going to help you right now."

"Why is it such a big deal?" she asked. Gibbs was getting rather annoyed with his daughter,

"It's a big deal because you did not have permission to go out tonight, let alone go to a party. A party where I know there was alcohol and I'm sure there was drugs."

"I don't drink! Or do drugs! That's just stupid!"

"That's not the point Amelia. The point is that left the house tonight without asking me if you could go out. Not to mention it is way past 10:30, which I believe is when I told you your curfew was."

"So? It's not a big deal! I just went out for a while!"

"It is a big deal. You went against my rules, that will always be a big deal!" he was raising his voice. He was growing more and more angry at Amelia as they continued talking. She didn't seem to realize that it was a big deal if she didn't follow his rules, and that was frustrating him to no end.

"This isn't fair!" Amelia was yelling now, "You shouldn't be getting mad at me for this! I was having fun, don't you want me to be able to have fun and have friends here! You should be happy that I even made friends, not freaking out because of some ridiculous rules you made!"

"Well after tonight you're not going to get to see your friends for a while. So I hope you had fun."

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"I'm talking about you being grounded. You went out without my permission, I didn't know where you were, you lied to me about where you were and why you were there, and to top it all off you were out past curfew. You're not leaving this house for anything other than school for a month."

"What? That's not fair!"

"It is fair Amelia. It's completely fair."

"No it's not!" she was yelling now, not at all happy about being told she was grounded, she had never really been grounded before and she didn't like the sound of it. Gibbs took a deep breath,

"Go to bed," he said calmly. Amelia began to say something angrily and then stopped, looking confused,

"What?"

"I told you to go to bed. I am not going to argue about this. I am your father and if I tell you you're grounded, then you're grounded. Now it is time for you to go to bed." Before she could say anything else he turned around and began walking towards the basement. After a few seconds he heard her stomping up the stairs and her bedroom door slam closed quickly afterwards. He sighed as he took a sip of bourbon, it wasn't easy punishing his daughter, but it had to be done, she had to learn to follow his rules. He had considered grounding her for two months, but remembered that her mother and stepfather had never punished her and she was allowed to do whatever she wanted without having to ask permission. He knew it would take a while for her to get used to that, but when she broke that many rules in one go he couldn't just overlook it. He knew she wasn't happy about it, but she was just going to have to get over it.

Amelia had stormed up the stairs, furious about being grounded. She purposely slammed her bedroom door as loud as she could, making sure Gibbs would hear it downstairs. She couldn't believe she had gotten in trouble for something that seemed so small to her. Really she considered it no big deal and hadn't been expecting to get in trouble. She huffed around her room angrily for a few minutes, checking her computer, only to find that no one was online. She slammed the laptop shut as hard as she dared then flopped down on her bed, grabbing her iPod along the way and shoving her headphones in her ears.

She wasn't quite sure when she fell asleep, but she knew that the knocking on her door was waking her up way too early.

What did you guys think? There is more coming to her punishment, but I decided to leave it for the next chapter. Any ideas you have please share!
