Gibbs could hear the screaming before he even turned into his driveway. He knew from what McGee and Ducky had reported back to him. That Liam and Abby were not exactly getting along. He was expecting to come home to a fight but nothing as intense as what he was hearing. He pulled into the driveway and Ducky parked his Morgan behind Abby's car. The two climbed out of their cars and exchanged nervous glances before walking inside. Gibbs followed the shouts to the kitchen. Liam was standing beside the table waving his arms in the air. Abby was about five feet away from him, standing in front of the stove. A pan of baked chicken was scattered on the floor. Shockingly it was Abby's face that was red with anger and disgust and Liam's that was pale and stained by tears.

"LOOK WHAT YOU DID?! GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Abby demanded.

"What's wrong with you! You look like a man!" Liam snapped.

"HEY! HEY!" Gibbs called.

"What?!" Abby snapped.

"Oh your back." Liam remarked.

"You mind telling me what the hell is going on here?!" Gibbs demanded

"This kid, Gibbs! I can't handle him anymore!" Abby cried.

"Oh yeah and you are a saint. She called me a jerk, Gibbs! Said I was lucky that you didn't send me away." Liam replied.

"Well you have been nothing but trouble since you got here and Gibbs has enough on his mind with poor Tony. I bet he attempted suicide because of you!" Abby accused.

"I bet he did it cause he saw you naked!" Liam retorted.

"That is enough both of you! Abby go wait for me in the living room! Liam go to your room! I am going to clean this mess and then I am going to deal with you two." Gibbs ordered.

"Fine!" Abby snapped.

"Whatever" Liam scoffed.

Gibbs picked the chicken up off the floor, back into the pan, and then put the pan in the trash. He would have to figure something else out for dinner but before he did that. He would have to deal with whatever the hell had happened between Abby and Liam. He knew that their issues would not be solved overnight. In fact there was a good chance that they would never be on good terms but he wanted to at least get to the bottom of whatever the hell happened.

"Jethro?" Ducky asked from the doorway.

"What's up?" Gibbs asked.

"Since your dinner is ruined. I thought I would go to Raymond's and pick up a couple pizza's. Any suggestion on toppings?" Ducky asked.

"I want a meat lovers. Go see what Abby and Liam want." Gibbs replied gruffly.

"I suppose I will be getting four personal pan pizzas." Ducky commented.

"You sure?" Gibbs asked.

"I am sure that Abby and Liam won't be able to agree and I have been eating a lot of junk food lately. So I would be wise to get their low-carb special." Ducky explained.

"Sounds good then. My billfold is by the door. Take as much as you need." Gibbs replied.

"It is my treat." Ducky replied

"Well thank you. I will treat you to lunch tomorrow." Gibbs replied.

Gibbs decided that he would deal with Abby first. He imagined that he was going to be too worn out to deal with anything after dealing with Liam. He loved that boy more than anything and he would die for him but saying that boy was a challenge. Was the understatement of the century. He could sympathize though. He hadn't exactly been a model child. Looking back he was probably lucky that Jack lived as long as he did. The way he treated Jack and all he put him through. He should have probably dropped dead when Jethro was still a teenager. The Marines had saved him and he prayed that Liam would find his saving grace before it was too late or he had done too much damage to himself. He was hoping that Abby would be cooperative. She could be difficult at times. Especially when she didn't get her way but he wanted her to know that Liam was his son. He was his flesh and blood and he was just a child and if she couldn't be civil towards him. If she was going to act like an over-grown baby. That she wasn't going to have the always open door policy anymore.

"Abbs, we need to talk." Gibbs said.

"OK" Abby replied.

"You really need to cut Liam some slack." Gibbs started.

"He is a monster!" Abby cried.

"I know he is a challenge but I am home now and I am going to handle his discipline." Gibbs explained.

"OK fine but he is out of hand and you may be better off without him." Abby snapped.

"No! I am not going to throw away my child! He has already been abandoned. That is probably why he is so screwed up. He has a lot of problems but I care very deeply for him. I am going to do my best to fix him and make him see he is loved. If I can do it for Tony. I can do it for anyone." Gibbs explained.

"I know but Gibbs you are in your fifties. Can your heart take a kid like Liam?" Abby asked.

"If Jack could survive to eighty-five after raising me. I can make handle Liam." Gibbs assured.

Gibbs was relieved that Abby managed to cooperate for him. He doubted that she would ever like him but all he cared about was that she treated him with respect and vice-versa. He walked upstairs to Liam's room and found the child sitting on his bed staring out the window.

"Liam?" Gibbs called.

"What?" Liam asked.

"I need to talk to you about how you behaved the passed week while I was taking care of Tony." Gibbs explained.

"I know I was horrible and you are sending me away." Liam replied.

"No Liam I would never..." Gibbs started.

"Don't lie. You don't have to. I know as soon as the DNA tests come in. You will abandon me. I know my mom is just after any money you may have." Liam explained.

"No Liam, I had to get a DNA test done for CPS to release you to me. Without me registering to be a foster-parent and even if I weren't your father. I would still have taken you in as a foster." Gibbs assured.

"Yeah the kids at the home told me. You'd get a sweet paycheck for taking me in." Liam explained.

"No Liam I don't care about money. I actually care about you." Gibbs assured.

"Prove it!" Liam spat.

A/N: At least Gibbs knows why Liam is so hateful now. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
