A/N: I was thinking about writing it for awhile, so in my sick haze, I am finally doing it.

Caleb Ari
"I do not wanna go, Mommie!" Caleb whined. It was the first day of kindergarten and Caleb didn't want to leave his mother or father. Ziva held his hand and Tony held his other one.
"It is okay. Paul is going to be here and you will meet other kids too."
"But I wanna stay home!" He stomped him foot on the pavement, but his parents pulled him along.
"You can't stay in Pre-K forever, Champ." Tony told him.
"But, but what about Abira and Malka? Will you not need help, Mommie?"
"You can help me when I pick you up later."
"And," Tony added. "You get to come to work after school and tell us about everything you did." Caleb looked at his feet as they walked. Soon they reached the gate where you had to let your child go. Caleb did not move and kept his eyes downcast. Ziva sighed and bent down so one knee rested on the ground and one was bent with her elbow on it.
"I was scared too." Caleb looked at his mother with disbelief.
"You are the bravest, Mommie. You do not get scared!" Ziva nodded her head.
"I do. When I was little, my Ima and Aunt Nettie tried to get me into the classroom. The teacher had to tie me to the chair. I was out in five seconds flat." Caleb's eyes were wide.
"What did you do?"
"Well, for the first couple of weeks, I cried and screamed and yelled and, one day, I liked to go to school. You will too. Now, Love you, love you. Say bye to Daddy and me. You do not want to be late on your first day." She kissed his nose and waited for Tony to bid him a farewell. Caleb hesitantly walked into the classroom, casting one last pleading look at Tony and Ziva. They waved and left.
"So how much of that story is true?"
"All of it."
"What made you like school so much?" She side glanced him.
"My Father said I was being a baby and that I needed to grow up." Tony wrapped his arm around her shoulders and walked them to the car.

Caleb looked around the room. He didn't like it. There were too many people. He didn't like being over crowded. It made him uncomfortable. He saw a table with four chairs around it. No one was there. Caleb made his way through the hoards of parents and children and finally made it to the table.
He sat down and saw paper and coloring items on it. Caleb pulled a piece of paper from the stack, while grabbing crayons with his other hand. He pulled out a yellow crayon and began to draw a sun. He was drawing the rays to the picture when someone tapped his shoulder. He looked back to see a little girl standing there.
She had white blonde hair and bright curious blue eyes. She was small, a little bit shorter than Caleb, natural pale skin and wore a light purple overall dress with tights that went mid-shin.
"May I sit with you?" She asked, her voice small and polite. Caleb nodded. She smiled and Caleb noticed she was missing one of her front teeth.
"I'm Serena." She introduced her-self.
"I am Caleb." He said back. Her smile got wider.
"Whatcha drawin'?" She peered at his paper. He looked down at it. A big yellow blob filled the corner of the paper.
"A sun, maybe some flowers." He shrugged his shoulder as he said it.
"It sounds pretty." Serena told him and took her own piece of paper.
"What are you going to draw?" Caleb asked a moment later. She puckered her lips and her brows knitted together in thought. All of a sudden her eyebrows shot up.
"I know! I'll draw a heart!" She grabbed an orange crayon and got to work. Caleb nodded and went back to his picture. After fifteen minutes, the teacher shooed all the parents out of the room. Caleb and Serena were still the only ones to sit at the cherry red table.
"Hello and welcome to your very first day at Kindergarten. My name is Miss Pierce or Miss P, if it helps you." Miss Pierce looked nice. She had chestnut brown hair, light skin and light brown eyes and was average height.
"We're going to go around the room and say our names and what we like to do when we are at home. I'll go first. As you know my name is Miss Pierce and I like to read at home." She started at the opposite side of the room from where Caleb sat. One boy, his name was Tyler; he liked to watch TV and another kid, a girl named Haleigh liked to color. Serena was next.
"I'm Serena Clayfield. I like to do puzzles. My Daddy helps me." She smiled. It was Caleb's turn. He was the last one.
"I am Caleb."
"What is your last name Caleb?" The teacher asked not unkindly.
"I am Caleb Ari David-DiNozzo." Miss Pierce looked thoughtful.
"Da-veed? What is that?"
"Israeli." He answered shortly.
"Is one of your parents Israeli, Caleb?"
"Mommie is."
"And what do you like to do in your free time?"
"Play piano with Mommie." Miss Pierce raised her eyebrows.
"Really? Well, I have a keyboard. Would you like to show us something?" Caleb looked around the room at the students. They looked bored. He nodded; maybe he could play kid songs. Ziva had taught him some. Miss Pierce took his hand and walked him to the far wall were her desk was.
Caleb turned the board on and sat on the bench. He positioned is fingers over the keys and looked at the teacher.
"What do you want me to play?"
"Anything." Caleb exhaled. He hated when people said that.
"I know a lot. Fur Elise? The beginning of Moonlight Sonata? Old McDonald had a farm? Pick something."
"Can you play Itsy Bitsy Spider?" Caleb nodded. He started to play and the class, starting with Serena, began to sing along. Maybe school is not so bad, Caleb thought. He would have to tell Mommie and Daddy about this.
