(Kate's POV)

"Hurry!" calls Kelly over her shoulder as she runs ahead of us, Tony holding her hand her eyes bright with enthusiasm and energy. We follow as quickly as we can, as we weave through the crowds.

For Kelly's fifth birthday present, the whole team took the weekend off and took a trip to Disney. Now, as Tony and Kelly, full of far too much energy, bound ahead together, while Gibbs, Ziva, Jenny, Ducky, Tim, Abby and I trail behind as we head to the next ride that Kelly decided she wants to go on.

Tony and Kelly stop at the end of the line, and we join in with them. Kelly weaves between the team, giddy with excitement.

"Poppop! Up!" She giggles, putting her arms up. Gibbs smiles as he scoops her up, and puts her on his shoulders so she can see over everyone else.

Jenny laughs as she watches Kelly tug Gibbs' head to the direction she wants him to turn. Gibbs puts his arm around Jenny's shoulder, and she leans into him with a smile. Hiding a grin, I can't help but suppress a coo of adoration with the couple. I remember as if it was yesterday when we found out they were together.

Kelly, Ziva, Tim, Ducky, Tony, Abby and I were in Abby's lab, on our break. "Auntie Abby" was braiding Kelly's hair, which was very long for two.

Tony and Tim were having a small argument over basketball teams, while Ziva, Ducky, and I discussed the news. Somewhere throughout the many conversations, Kelly piped up about the last time she stayed at "Poppop's" house. Tony and I were undercover and we needed someone to look after Kelly. Gibbs, being her godfather, has helped us out on multiple occasions.

"Did you help him with the boat?" asks Ziva, or "Aunt Zi"

"No. He send me to bed when Nee-Nee get there." Answered Kelly

We all look at each other in confusion.

"Who came over?" I ask, not knowing a "Nee-Nee."

"She very pretty. Her hair is fire." Answers Kelly, vaguely

"What did Poppop call her?" tries Tony, as we eagerly listen to Gibbs' mystery red-headed friend

Kelly's little face scrunched up in effort to produce the word.

"J-Nee. He call her J-nee."

We all freeze.

"Jenny?" asks Ducky, sounding quite surprised and amused.

"Yes." Grins Kelly "I try to go to underground with boat, but door was broken. I heard funny noises."

Abby slaps her hand to her mouth in an effort to stop laughing, Ducky, Tony and Ziva are stifling laughter as well, Tim looks vaguely disgusted, while I bite my lip laughter bubbling up inside me.

She looks at me, her big hazel eyes full of innocence and curiosity.

"Why Poppop and Nee-Nee broke door and make noises?"

A bout of uncontrollable laughter erupts from Abby, Tony, Ducky and Ziva.

Holding back giggles, I manage to say "Poppop didn't mean to lock the door when he and 'Nee-Nee' were working on the boat together, I'm sure it was an accident."

That seems to satisfy Kelly's innocent curiosity, while fueling the laughter from everyone else.

I think that the team finding out was one of the reasons Gibbs married her. Though he'd never admit it, I think he was afraid we would reject her, but we didn't, we gave him our blessing instead. I know well how happy Gibbs has been since he married Jenny, about 18 months ago.

"Poppop?" Kelly asks, looking down at Gibbs' head, as we make our way closer to the front of the line.

Gibbs smiles, looking up at Kelly "Yes, Kelly?"

"Could you arrest all these people so we can be first in line?" asks Kelly, innocently

Everyone laughs, while Gibbs answers "No, sweetheart, I'm not allowed to."

Kelly pouts, before brightening up again. She looks over at Abby.

"Auntie Abby! Could you make everyone fall asleep with your special powder?" she eagerly asks

"No, Kels. We just have to wait in line. Why don't we play a game while we wait?" Answers Abby with a chuckle.

I smile as I notice she's holding hands with Tim. Those two have been flirting with each other for years, and I was thrilled when he asked her out again two weeks ago. Again, I attribute it to Kelly that they got together.

Abby, Tim, Kelly and I were in Abby's lab. I was helping Abby and Tim while Kelly watched. I had privately noticed the way Tim would stare at Abby. Eyes softening when she smiled, gazing at her butt, glancing at her, and staring at her fingers as she typed. Abby hadn't noticed how much Tim stared at her. Naturally, Kelly did. She walked over to Tim, and tugged his shirt. He looked down at her and she asked

"Uncle Tim? Do you think Auntie Abby is pretty?"

I hid my smile, but I saw Abby look up slightly, glancing at the two of them.

Tim immediately becomes flustered "Um, yeah... Yes Abby is very pretty." He manages, as his ears turning pink. "Why?"

Kelly giggles "You look at her the way Daddy looks at Mommy, and when I ask him why he says its because she's pretty."

I giggle slightly at the blush that is raging across Tim's face, as he avoids eye contact with Abby, who looks very flattered and happy.

Kelly still looks proud of herself.

"I spy with my little eye something green" Says Ziva

"The grass." Suggests Tim

"No."

"The sign?" tries Gibbs

"The bag over there." Jenny guesses

"No and No." grins Ziva

"That man's hair?" Guesses Kelly, pointing at a man who had neon green hair.

"Yes!" squeals Ziva, and gives Kelly a high five.

It's amazing how much Ziva has opened up since Kelly was born. When Kelly was first born, Ziva refused to even hold her for fear of hurting her, now Ziva is totally open, even with the rest of the team, and loves spending time with Kelly.

"Ducky! Tell me a story." Begs Kelly, already bored of the game a moment later.

Ducky grins, happy to have finally found a little friend who enjoys and hangs on every word of his stories.

"Well, there was this one time I was waiting on a line much like this…."

Ducky has become so much more jubilant since Kelly was born. He loves telling her his stories, and she loves listening to them. Sometimes, we'd call Ducky when she refused to take a nap and have him tell her a naptime story. It seems like ten years fall of Ducky every time he's with Kelly.

About five minutes later, Ducky's Anecdote is finished, leaving Kelly wide-eyed with amazement.

We reach the front of the line moments later.

We all clamor into the carts, Ziva, Ducky, and Kelly in the front, Gibbs and Jenny behind them, Abby and Tim in front of us, and Tony and I bringing up the rear.

The ride is fun, and when we reach the end, we stop to look at the picture that was taken.

I can't help but buy it, when I see it.

Ziva and Ducky are on either sides of Kelly, holding hands with her, their arms up in the air, mouths open with screams of joy. Gibbs and Jenny are kissing, in their own little world. Abby is laughing, but holding hands with Tim who looks terrified. Then Tony and I are in the back, I am leaning on his shoulder and he is looking down at me with a smile, as his arm is draped over my shoulder.

It's amazing what an impact Kelly has had on the team. Without her, Tony and I would still be stealing glances at each other when we think the other's not watching, Gibbs would still be too nervous to go the extra step with Jenny, Abby would never know how much Tim likes her, Ducky would always feel like no one valued his stories and wanted him to tell them, and Ziva would still be the emotionless warrior princess.

Thanks to Kelly, our team has become closer stitched, into a proper family. A family, all of us have always wanted, but none of us ever had.
