This is a story I've been working on for awhile. I keep going over it to make it perfect. Something I normally don't do. Anyway, a few warnings...

"Boss," McGee said in surprise, "Umm…What are you doing here?"

"Visiting," I stated calmly walking into his home.

"Darren's not here."

"Not visiting Darren."

McGee gave me a confused look before motioning for me to follow him into the kitchen. We both knew that I didn't make house calls like this often, my team came to me, rarely the other way around.

But I couldn't stop thinking about last weekend. The look on McGee's face as he watched Abby and Darren fight was not something that I wanted to see again and I knew that he hadn't talked to either of them about it.

That was something I noticed about the younger man though. He was never one to really talk about anything. He simply tried to figure out everything by himself until there was nothing left to do but ask for someone else.

Before all of this happened I simply waited for him to come to me. And maybe that was a mistake because I couldn't remember him actually coming to me when he needed help.

The man knew that he was part of my team, that I didn't doubt. I wasn't sure he knew how much he meant though. In the end that was my fault and I knew that I was going to have to change that.

When I had heard that I had a son and that he was dating McGee I had no idea what I was supposed to think. Still, I couldn't bring myself to be too upset by that. I had known that my son was in good hands.

The more that I thought about it the more that I wondered about everything and after my talk with Darren I knew that it was a very possible chance that Darren and McGee were going to get married.

That thought didn't get to me as much as the idea of not knowing either of the people that I thought of as my family. That was going to have to change and while that was changing with Darren it wasn't with McGee.

Now it was time to fix that. How I was supposed to get a man that rarely talked about himself to talk was beyond me. Hmm…I had never truly noticed how much McGee was like me.

That was a strange thought to have. McGee and I were different in so many ways that it was easy to look over everything else. Looking past all of that though I could see everything.

McGee, while he loved to talk about the things he knew, scarcely talked about anything personal. If it wasn't for situations out of his control bringing in his family and boyfriend the team would never know.

He also took his time and tried to do everything that he could by himself even if he didn't know how. I don't know why he thought he had to do everything by himself, but he did.

Then there was that protective quality he had. When Sarah was in trouble he didn't come to me or the team and he was more than willing to quit a job he loved. And just because of his little sister.

In the end those were the things that I felt a sense of pride for. McGee was a good person, no one could say otherwise. That still did not meant that I knew anything about the man.

"You're here to see me?" McGee questioned, "Did something happen with a case or something?"

"No," I answered taking the drink he handed me, "Nothing to do with a case?"

"Okay. No offense, Gibbs, but what are you doing here then? You're not really the person to just stop by for a visit."

"I was talking to Darren awhile back. He said some thing that got me thinking."

"Thinking? What about?"

Hearing the nervousness in the computer geniuses voice I smirked slightly. I knew that there were a lot of things about their relationship that I didn't, and didn't want to, know.

Though right now I wasn't sure if I was making McGee nervous because I was his boss or because I was Darren's Father. It might have been odd, but I couldn't help but hope for the latter.

When Shannon had told me that we were having a daughter she had joked that every boy in town would be scared of her Marine Father. I had been looking forward to scaring them in a way.

I was never able to do that with Kelly and I had thought that Darren was too old for me to strike fear in the heart of his boyfriends. Now I could see that I was wrong about that.

Was it possible that I hadn't missed out on as much as I had thought? Of course there were things that I would never be able to do with my son, but maybe there were some things that I could.

Though there really wasn't all that much I could do when it came to Darren's relationship with McGee. They had already moved in together and were thinking of marriage.

Then there was the fact that I wanted to protect McGee just as much as I wanted to protect my son. He had come to mean a lot to me over these past years and I didn't take that lightly.

"Your and his relationship," I responded calmly.

"What about it?" McGee asked in confusion.

"I've only heard his point of view."

"And you…Want to know how I came to be in love with your son or something?"

"Yes."

McGee continued to stare at me like I had said the most absurd thing, but soon a sigh fell from his lips as he almost clasped into a chair. If it wasn't for the smile on his face I would think he was remembering something painful.

That was the thing about McGee though. He felt. He felt much more than I had thought when I brought him onto my team and in the beginning I thought I might have made a mistake.

Now that he had grown into himself I saw that I hadn't. He was a good agent, and still growing, and an even better human. I was proud to be able to say that McGee was on my team.

"Gibbs, your son," McGee started before pausing, "Your son is amazing. The first time I realized I loved him was about two months into our relationship and we had a really bad case. Darren and I were supposed to have a date that night, but I just…I just couldn't do it. Darren never asked me what was wrong. In fact he never talked. We just laid on the couch with Jett. We didn't move until the next morning. Never once did either of us talk, but with him just holding me I felt like I could let go of it. Not forget, but move on."

Staring at McGee I let his words play in my mind. His voice was so soft as he spoke, but he said it with such love that I had no doubt in my mind about what he was saying.

As much as I liked the answer though it got me thinking about why I came here. I knew that Darren and McGee were very much in love, but I still knew nothing about the man in front of me. That needed to change.

I was able to get McGee talking for almost an hour. Well, I asked questions and McGee, with a fair amount of confusion, answered. It truly felt like this was the first real conversation I had had with the man.

"Gibbs," McGee interrupted, "Not that I don't like feeling like I'm being interrogated in my kitchen, but what are you doing? Why are you suddenly taking an interest in my life?"

"Because I don't know you," I answered.

"I've worked for you for how many years, Boss? I think you know me."

"You never told me you had a sister or that you wrote a book."

"Well, that was because I…"

"You what, McGee? Didn't trust me?"

"What? Of course I trust you, Gibbs. There was never a point in time when I didn't trust you. Question you, of course, but I've always trusted you."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Boss…"

McGee let out another sigh while standing up. It seemed like he truly had a reason for not doing it and I knew that once he told me I wasn't going to like whatever the reason was.

"You reminded me of The Admiral a lot in the beginning," McGee spoke softly.

"Your Father," I nodded.

"Yeah, he wasn't…He wasn't exactly the best Father. Or I wasn't exactly the best son. Depends on who you ask. The point is I was never good enough for him. No matter what I did. That's why I didn't tell you about my books. I didn't want you to be disappointed in me like he always was.

"As for not telling you about Sarah. I've just always taken care of her myself. Father was deployed a lot of the time and Mom…Well, she tried, but she didn't really know what to do with either of us when we were kids. It's just second nature by now."

Not for the first time I wanted five minutes alone with McGee's Father. I hated hearing the uncertainty and self-loathing that man brought into his life. You never did that to your kids.

"Listen to me, McGee," I said moving to stand in front of him my hands resting on his shoulders, "You have disappointed me, but you have never let that stop you. You've continued to grow and I am more than proud you say you're on my team. And I'm more than happy to think of you as part of my family."
