Authors Note: So we have decided to skip a couple weeks. Naomi has been to the local police and reported what happened to her. The school has fired the teacher and the police have arrested him pending an investigation. We decided not to play out the police investigation and such because it will involve a lot of technical stuff that we don't really know much about.

Warning: This chapter will contain talk of self-harm. Read at your own risk.

Dan settled into the couch with a movie. His parents were out and he was supposed to be helping watch Tali. She was asleep right now, so he figured that he could watch a movie without any interruption. He had chosen a thriller, trying to avoid Naomi wanting to sit and watch with him. He liked his alone time, and didn't need a little sister messing things up. He had a bowl of chocolate covered peanuts to enjoy the movie with.

Naomi had been keeping an eye on Tali. Dan was busy watching a movie when he was suppose to be helping her but truth be told she didn't really care. Tali was asleep anyways and she needed the practice if she was going to be having a baby soon. What she didn't like was being alone and it being all quiet right now. It made her think and with all that had been going on lately she wasn't in the mood to be thinking. She sat down in her room and tried to do homework hoping to get her mind off of everything. She hadn't been to school the last couple weeks. Her parents had let her stay home but she was going to be going back on Monday and she had gotten her homework brought to her so she needed to do it. She decided to start with English her favorite subject.

Dan was just getting to the good part of the movie, the one where the aliens abducted the human and brainwashed him, when there was a knock on the door. He cursed whoever it was and opened the door. The sight he saw made his heart sink and he knew there was only one thing he could do. He went up to Naomi's room and knocked on her door. "You have a visitor downstairs." He told her.

Naomi came downstairs. "Hey Kelsey." She said looking at Kelsey she could tell something was wrong. "Kelsey. What's wrong? What happened? Are you hurt?" She asked her checking her over to check for any blood when she didn't see any she looked back up at her. "What is it?" She asked her taking her hand gently.

Kelsey looked up at Naomi as she came down from her room. Was it that obviously that something was wrong? She wipes her eyes with her sleeve that came all the way down to her wrist. "I-I'm fine. Physically at least. Emotionally not so much. My parents they... I... they found out about me dating a girl and had a little freak out. They gave me a half hour to get as much of my stuff as I could, and they kicked me out." She sobbed.

"They what?!" She said. She pulled her close and held her. "It's going to be okay. We will figure it out." She told her softly holding her close. "I promise everything is going to be okay." She assured her. She took her bag and led her inside and up to her room. "My parents will be home soon. I'm sure they will help us figure out something. Maybe you can stay here for a few nights or something. Maybe your parents will calm down and want to come back." She said to her. "I mean my parents have been pretty mad at me before but after a while they calmed down and things worked out." She said to her. She didn't know Kelsey's parents. But they had to be like her parents right? I mean they didn't like that their daughter liked girls but they were her parents they had to love her right?

Kelsey couldn't bring herself to repeat what had happened an hour beforehand. This was the one place she could think of to go, the only place she wanted to go. She looked up at the girl as she was lead to her bedroom and she sat on the bed. Tim and Ziva had been so nice to her, they probably would let her stay. But she shook her head at the other idea. "You don't understand Naomi. It is the biggest sin in my mother's book to like another woman. I don't foresee her calming down anytime soon." She said with a sniffle.

Naomi just held her close. "Well we will figure it out." She promised her. One way or another she would help her girlfriend. "I won't let you end up without a place to live. Neither will my parents." She rubbed her back. "We will talk to my parents when they get home. Until then you can just relax. I mean I'm sure you're tired." She said to the girl. "Lay down and close your eyes okay?" She said to the girl.

Kelsey nodded a bit when Naomi said they would figure it out. She didn't think she could relax right now. She laid back and closed her eyes like the girl wanted her to. But her wrist started to itch when she did. Stupid long sleeved shirt. She started to scratch her wrist, hoping that Naomi wouldn't notice the marks that were there.

Naomi looked down at her scratching and took hold of her hand and lifted up her sleeve. "Kelsey. What? Kelsey no. Why? I mean I get it you're upset but this is going to help anything." She told her softly as she carefully ran her finger along the cut.

Kelsey whimpered a bit when Naomi did notice and pulled up her sleeve. This wasn't something that she was proud of, but it was a fact of life. "It's... It's just that... My parents expect me to be so perfect and I can't do it, I-I just can't. So I see the mistakes in my life and voices echo in my head that I am a horrible person and going to hell." She told her sadly.

"Kelsey Hamilton I don't want to hear that. You are perfect. You are YOU that makes you perfect. I know they are your parents. But if they can't accept you for yourself then that's their loss." She told her. "You are not going to hell. Does hell even exist? No one truly knows if it does. I mean I know some people believe it and that's fine and all but how can someone really know. So you don't worry about that. And no more of this." She said pointing at her wrist.

Kelsey knew that what Naomi was saying made sense. Who was to say that there was a heaven or a hell? She had been taught that her whole life at church, but that was before she realised that she was a 'sinner'. Was it really that big of a sin to love someone as cute as Naomi? "I guess you're right. And I am sorry, I am going to try and stop." She said softly.

"I'll do what I can to help you." She assured her. She laid down next to her and wrapped her arm around her and held her. Her homework was just going to have to wait right now Kelsey was more important.

Tim pulled into the driveway of their house. He had treated Ziva to a movie and some dinner tonight, they didn't get much time to themselves. Now here they were back at home to finish their evening off. "I am sure that the kids had fun watching their baby sister." He said to his wife, squeezing her shoulder gently. Then he got out and opened her door for her.

Ziva smiled. She had enjoyed their time together that evening with three kids they never got out on their own but she knew that Dan and Naomi were perfectly capable of taking care of themselves and their baby sister for a couple hours while they went out. She got out when Tim opened her door and kissed him. "Why thank you." She said to him. If there was one thing about Tim that hadn't changed since they got married it was that he was a gentleman. "Well I am not sure if they had fun but I am sure they took care of her. They love her very much." She said with a smile. She went up to the door and opened it. "Kids. We are home." She called out hearing the T.V. on in the livingroom.

Dan paused the movie and got up when he heard the voice of his mother. He looked around the living room at the big mess. He was going to be in trouble if he didn't think of something fast. He made his way out to his parents. "Hey mom, dad. How was the movie? Kelsey came over and joined us for dinner. Now Naomi and her are in her room, and they left before helping me clean up from dinner." Dan told them. He hoped it worked.

Ziva looked at the living room and then looked at her son and crossed her arms. "Daniel. You know you are not able to lie. So stop trying. But I do believe that Kelsey is here and that she is upstairs. I saw her shoes by the door." She told him. "How as Tali?" She asked him. "You two did keep an eye on her right?" She asked him picking up the pizza box that was on the floor and going and putting the leftover pizza in the fridge. There was no way Kelsey had been there for dinner. There was too much pizza left over before going back to the living room.

Dan whimpered when his mom called him on his lying ways. "Okay fine, Kelsey didn't stay for dinner and I had more of it than Naomi did. Tali has been fine, we kept an eye on her. Naomi insisted on doing most of the work because of her baby on the way." Dan said to his mother. "Kelsey showed up about a half hour ago and she was crying. Her parents found out about her and Naomi..." He said to his mother.

Ziva looked at him and smiled abit. It was the thing she loved most about Dan that he couldn't lie. She had enough lying from her teenage daughter she didn't need it from him too. "Did Naomi at least eat something?" She asked. She knew the girl hadn't been eating much lately and it worried her. Her daughter had a baby growing inside her and she needed to keep herself healthy. "Her parents found out? And they let her come here? Tell me she didn't sneak out." She knew Kelsey's parent's weren't the kind to approve of their daughter dating another girl which is why Ziva had agreed to keep it quiet but she wasn't okay with a teenage girl sneaking out it was a parent thing.

Dan nodded when she asked if Naomi had eaten anything tonight. "Yeah, I said she had to or I would kick her butt. She ate two slices." He explained to his mother. Then the subject came up of Kelsey and her parents. "Her parents don't exactly know where she is. But she didn't sneak out. They kicked her out and this was the first place she could think to come. I figured you guys wouldn't have a problem if I let her stay for a bit." He explained to his parents.

Ziva smiled. "Good." She said when she heard that Naomi ate. She sighed. "They kicked her out?!" She was surprised. "Of course she can stay. She can stay as long as she needs." She looked up at Tim. "Right? It's okay if Kelsey stays here?" She looked at Tim. "Maybe I can call her parents. Talk to them, get them to reconsider." She mumbled a bit.

Tim was surprised by the news of Kelsey being kicked out of her house. The poor girl, she had been through so much already. He wasn't about to say she couldn't stay here. "I think it would be great if she stayed here. Her and Naomi maybe shouldn't share the room though." He mentioned. He squeezes Ziva's shoulder when she said she would call her parents. It was worth a shot.

She nodded. "Well. Where is she going to sleep? I mean all the rooms are taken. We can set up an air mattress or something in Naomi's room? Or maybe in Tali's room if you really don't want them in the same room." She said. She wasn't going to go against what Tim wanted. "We can go talk to the girls." She said. "Daniel. Please finish cleaning up in here." She said to him as she and Tim headed upstairs.

Tim hadn't thought about that. "There is always the couch and dan's room. We can set up the air mattress in Naomi's room though. It's down by your knife room isn't it?" He asked his wife. He hoped that Kelsey wasn't too upset, he didn't want to really be around an upset teenage girl right now. He knocked on the door of the room. "Hey girls. Is everything alright in there?" He asked the girls softly.

Ziva went upstairs with Tim and looked in Naomi's room at the girls. "Kelsey you alright?" She asked her.

Naomi looked up when her parents came in. She still had her arm around Kelsey. "Things are okay in here I think. Is it okay if she stays here for a few days?"

Ziva nodded. "She can stay as long as she needs. "Kelsey I am going to call your parents and try talking to them. Are you okay with that?" She asked the young girl.

Kelsey heard the voices of Naomi's parents and flinched a bit. She hoped that they would be okay with her staying here for a while. But they were always nice and accepting of her, so she wasn't too too worried. "I-I am alright physically ma'am. Emotionally I am pretty broken up, not that I have ever been in a good emotional state of mind. I mean I cry at the drop of a hat." Kelsey mentioned to Ziva.

Ziva nodded and went and sat on the end of the bed and rubbed the young girls back. "It is going to be alright. You are welcome here. Do not worry about that right now. I will call your parents and see what I can do to help." She said. "We can set up an air mattress in here for one of you girls."

Naomi nodded. "I'll take the air mattress she can have the bed. She said being a good friend and a good host

Kelsey looked up at Ziva, and nodded a bit. "Thank you for your offer. but I don't think that it will do any good. She is so stubborn and set in her ways. And no Naomi, you can't give up your bed just for me. I will take the air mattress or maybe even the floor would be fine." She said quickly

Tim was glad that she had been been alright after everything that happened. He felt like Naomi was being such a good friend to Kelsey right now, when she needed her the most. "It is fine either way girls. We will get you the air mattress and blow it up." He said to the girls.

Naomi shook her head. "There is no way you are sleeping on the floor. If you insist you can have the air mattress but it really is okay. I don't mind taking the air mattress" She told her.

Ziva nodded. "No one needs to take the floor." She said. "You two decided who will sleep where and the two of us will go get the air mattress." She said looking at Tim.

Tim nodded in agreement with Ziva when she said the two of them will go get the mattress. He took his wife's hand and made his way out of the room and down to the basement.

Kelsey smiled when Naomi's parents left. "Your parents are so awesome. I wish that i had one as cool as both of yours. If I had it my way we would both end up on the bed together." She said with a small giggle.

Naomi chuckled and nodded. "I agree. But I don't think my parents would go for that. No matter how cool you think the are."
