"You jealous, Timothy?" Darren grinned pulling his trousers.

"Of you spending time with your Dad?" I questioned lying on our bed watching him get dressed, "Yeah, I'm totally jealous."

Darren stopped moving as he pulled a shirt out of the closet for a moment before sighing and falling onto the bed next to me. Instantly I pulled the man closer to me so his head was resting on my shoulder.

Ever since Darren had come home after his day with Gibbs a smile had been on his face. It wasn't until he explained that Gibbs agreed to tell everyone that he was his son that I understood.

That was three days ago and everything seemed to hit Darren right now. I wanted to be able to tell him that everything was going to be fine. That this news wasn't going to change everything.

Both of us knew that was a lie. I wasn't sure how Ziva and Palmer were going to react, but I knew nothing would change all that much with Darren. Tony was going to be hurt, but he'd work past that.

That's when Abby came in. Abby was Gibbs baby, his favorite. She was, in a way, a replacement for the daughter that he lost all those years ago. She could do nothing wrong and she knew it.

Now Gibbs found out he had a son and, in Abby's eyes at least, that was going to mean a fight for attention. That was something that Abby was good at and something Darren didn't want to do.

Darren already was wary about being part of a family. He didn't know how to act, but he was getting better. In the end though his relationship with Gibbs was still rocky in a lot of ways.

If this went wrong it was more than possible that Gibbs was going to have to side with Abby or Darren. That was going to break not only their hearts, but his as well. I really didn't want to see that happen.

What was I supposed to do though? I wasn't going to be able to help Abby or Gibbs. I could just be there for Darren and if this went bad I wasn't going to be the person that Darren needed.

"Maybe we should put it off," Darren sighed.

"That will only make it worse," I shrugged, "You know that."

"It's going to be bad either way."

"Darren."

"You know that's the truth. I don't want it to end badly. I want to be able to be part of this family, but I know…"

I forced Darren to follow me when I sat up. The younger man had tears in his eyes and I knew that he was already coming up with the worst scenarios in his head and it was killing him

"Don't worry," I muttered kissing the top of his head, "I'll be with you every step of the way."

"Thank you," Darren smiled slightly cuddling into my chest.

Smiling back I kissed his lips gently before standing up and getting dressed myself. It wasn't long before Darren and I were walking into Gibbs backyard and seeing everyone already there.

Palmer and Ziva were setting some food out, Tony and Abby were playing with a football, and Gibbs and Ducky were carrying some more food out from the kitchen. Well, Gibbs was carrying Ducky was talking about something or another.

Everything looked like it was already set up and I couldn't help but wonder if we were late. That didn't make sense though. There was still five minutes before the agreed time.

"Hey guys," Tony grinned, "You're late."

"No," I shook my head, "My clock…"

"Daylight savings!" Darren suddenly yelled.

Looking at the younger man I realized that we hadn't changed the clocks before we went to bed. Alright, we were a little late and based off the smiles everyone knew what had happened.

"Same thing happened to Palmer," Ziva smirked, "We were going to send someone over if you did not appear soon."

With a slight blush Darren and I started to help set everything up. It was so peaceful to be with the team outside of work. Because of that I almost completely forgot why we were there.

Before I knew it everyone was sitting in chairs or on the ground eating their food and laughing. Right now Ducky was telling a story about hunting with a Falcon when he was younger that had everyone enthralled.

"Everyone," Gibbs calmly stated when Ducky finished his story, "I know you're wondering why I did this."

"Yeah, Gibbs," Abby smiled, "Finally decided on an annual team weekend?"

"No, I have some news. You all know that I don't let anyone into my team unless I want them to be. When I brought Darren onto the team it wasn't because he was McGee's boyfriend…It was because I found out he was my son."

For what felt like the first time ever everyone was silent. Ducky was the only one that didn't look surprised by this, but I already knew that Gibbs had told the older man this before.

Palmer and Tony were looking back and forth between Darren and Gibbs looking for some indication that they were related, Ziva was staring at Gibbs in confusion, but Abby…Abby was glaring harshly at Darren.

"What did you do?" Abby practically growled.

"What?" Darren asked confused.

"You must have done something to the tests so you could show up as Gibbs son! Seriously what type of person does that?"

"What are you even talking about? I didn't do anything."

"Oh really? I knew you weren't a good person! You're just using McGee to get to Gibbs so you can hurt him!"

"I'm not you, Abby! I don't use people!"

"I use people? I use people?!"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's obvious."

Abby let out a small growl before smacking Darren. The mans head went to the side and I saw his mouth open to tell her not to do that again when her hand came swinging again.

This time Darren grabbed her hand ready to defend himself. It was like some sickening dance as I watched Abby throw hits as Darren did his best to avoid them without actually trying to hurt her.

It wasn't because Abby was a girl, but Darren wasn't a fighter. Not saying he couldn't fight, but the only time he did was when he had to and then he did his best to hit the person hard enough to go down in as little time as possible.

Ziva and Tony seemed to notice this because soon they were moving closer to pull the two of them apart. Tony's arms were around Abby's waist while Ziva's were around Darren's shoulders.

It took a few minutes to finally get them apart, but as soon as they were I couldn't help but look around again. Ducky and Palmer looked saddened by everything that was happening.

It was Gibbs face though that got me. The man was good at keeping his face blank so no one knew what he was thinking, but right now I could see the pain and anger blazing in his eyes.

Then there was me. I was just as saddened by everything, but it was more because I knew that this was going to happen. I had hoped though that I had been at least somewhat wrong.

Darren suddenly looked up at me I felt like I had been punched. He had said that this was going to happen as well and to have it actually come true was the worst thing for him.

I had wanted to say something. To do something to help him, but I didn't know what to do. I was so far out of my element that all I could think of was grabbing Darren's hand and leaving.

"Enough!" Gibbs suddenly yelled.

Silence fell over the party once again as the man glared at everyone. It took a lot to get Gibbs to raise his voice like that and I honestly was glad that I had never heard it directed at me before.

Actually now it wasn't even directed at me this time, but I couldn't stop from flinching at it. Everyone else seemed to shrink though as their eyes quickly turned to the older man.

"You both," Gibbs said his voice deathly calm, "Are both my children. All of you are and if you continue to act like this I will punish you like the children you are acting like."

"But Gibbs…" Abby started.

"No. Darren didn't find me, Abigail. I found him. He didn't know I was his Father for a long time and I was the one that decided when we would tell everyone. Not Darren. If you have a problem then have it will me. Not Darren. Is that understood?"

"Gibbs…"

"Is. That. Understood?"

Abby looked at Gibbs tears already starting to fall from her eyes before nodding her head. Gibbs nodded once back before looking over at Darren who was now almost hiding behind Ziva.

The man looked so small in that moment I wanted nothing more than to pull him into a hug. Sadly, I knew that Gibbs wasn't even close to being done with his lecture. I'd have to wait.

I just didn't understand how things ended up getting so messed up. The party had started out so well. And I knew Abby wasn't going to react well, but to go as far as she did? It was more than I expected.

Of course, Darren didn't have to come back as harshly as he had. It was sad. The two were just starting to become friends and all of that was ruined for who knows how long.

This was the last thing I had wanted. Everything had been going so well for Darren. He was slowly getting his confidence in our relationship and I had actually thought that maybe he and I were going to continue forward.

Not right then, but in the next few months I had hoped that maybe we'd get engaged. All of that seemed to be destroyed now as I watched Darren almost shaking from his tears.

Why couldn't this have gone smoothly? Everyone already knew Darren. They knew he was a good guy and they knew how much I loved him. Why did him being Gibbs son have to change anything?

"Darren, Abby," Gibbs continued, "That was inappropriate and you know it. You cannot act like that again. I don't care if you think you're in the right or you want to one-up each other for attention or anything. I will not tolerate it and I will not choose between you two. Understood?"

Darren and Abby both nodded their head quickly. Neither of them had really been thinking when they had spoken. Something that had happened more often that not in both of their lives.

I knew that they didn't mean it. They were so caught up in wanting to be the one that was right that they ended up hurting everyone. It was a good thing that everyone here knew that.

It was a bit difficult at times when they did that. And more then once I had wanted to walk away from everything when we got in fights that ended like that, but I remember how much I loved them. And it wasn't long before they realized what they'd done.

At least most of the time. It was a little distressing at times for this to happen, but it didn't happen often, once a year at most. It was one of those things that I dealt with because I loved Darren. That was the only reason why I did it.

"Ziva, Tony," Gibbs glared at them, "If those two want to fight…Let them. It's time for both of them to act like adults. This is between Darren and Abby and they're going to figure it out on their own. No one is going to get in the middle."

Ziva and Tony looked like the wanted to argue, but one look had them both in silence. That was a first for Gibbs. He never had anyone stand to the side and watch a fight happen.

This wasn't exactly a normal situation though. Darren and Abby were Gibbs children and now that everyone knew that there was no reason for him not to act like their Father.

"Tim, Jimmy, Ducky," Gibbs said looking at us, "You seem to be the only other adults here. We're done for today. As for your four, I might not be able to ground you when you're home, but keep in mind…When you're at work. You're mine. Now go home all of you."
