Jenny was still with Tali that afternoon. Diane had left to keep a watchful eye over her daughter and her other ex-husbands. Shannon and Kelly had also left. But in the absence of Gibbs' daughter, her mother and his ex-wife; Tali and Jenny were joined Jackson.
Franks is with Leroy. As is my granddaughter and Shannon.
"I bet he's loving that." Tali commented.
Tali noticed a smirk come to Jenny's face as a twinkle came to Jackson's eyes.
She's got tenacity.
Tali smiled at Jackson's comment.
Yeah; she does. She gets that from both of her parents and from hanging out around your son, Jack.
I can see that.
When it had just been Tali and Jenny; Jenny had shared some stories from her past with Gibbs. At least, Jenny shared the less salacious stories she had. Tali had pleaded for Jenny to share all of the stories that Jenny had but rebuffed the teen's request. Before Jenny had shared her stories of her time with Gibbs, she had also shared some of her adventures with Ziva before she had returned to headquarters in DC and had brought Ziva with her in the process. In between stories; Tali made a point of thanking Jenny for bringing Ziva to Gibbs and NCIS all those years ago.
"Jack, can you tell me some stories of your son from his childhood?" Tali asked.
This ought to be good.
Tali laughed at Jenny's remark as she waited for Jackson's answer.
Yes, Tali; I will tell you some stories.
With that; Jackson shared some stories until he opted to leave. Jenny was the last to leave Tali.
"So how was your day?" Ziva asked once she and Tony were home for the day.
"It was good."
"And did you have any visitors?" Tony asked.
"Of course; I did, Aba. They showed up right after you guys left for work this morning. My last visitor left the second you two walked in."
"Who was the last to leave?"
"Jenny." Tali said answering her mother's question.
"You and Jenny together; sounds interesting." Tony commented.
"It was. Jenny has some good stories."
"That she does."
"Just keep in mind, Aba; if Jenny didn't think to bring Ima over to NCIS after Kate was killed by Uncle Ari then you wouldn't have either one of us."
"She has a point, Tony." Ziva remarked.
"And from what I've deduced, you never thanked Jenny for what she did." Tali said.
Seeing that there was no other way around things as Jenny reappeared.
"Thank you, Jenny; for bringing Ziva to the team and everything after Kate died."
You're welcome, Tony.
"Jenny says you're welcome."
And both of you; cherish the time you have with Tali while you still have it. She's growing up fast.
"I'll tell them what you just said later." Tali said to Jenny just before Jenny left again.
Once Jenny was gone; Tony, Ziva and Tali sat down to dinner. Tony and Ziva had picked up a pizza on their way home from the Navy Yard that night.
