Gibbs woke up & wondered if he had dreamed the last few days, it was a hell of dream if so. He was about to start cursing when he felt something on his chest, he opened his eyes feeling relief & smiled, his wife was practically sleeping on top of him, he looked around & realised Kelly had tucked herself into him as well, using his arm & shoulder as a pillow, her brother was right next to her sound asleep. They had stayed up till the wee hours talking after everyone else left after dinner, crashing all together onto living room floor in sleeping bags.

Gibbs lay there completely happy, he was home & had his family with him, oh how he had missed this. He started to think about what leave he had up his sleeve, he had a few weeks at least saved up, that was definitely going to get used. He moved on to mentally working out what needed doing around the place, beds would be the first thing, new furniture, he'd leave the technology stuff to Kelly & Nix. New security system would definitely be going in & he'd ask Kelly about that too given what she's got set up already, he suddenly had a thought, he knew that Nix would move back in, there would be no discussion on that, Kelly had done her time raising him, they'd take over but would his girl actually move back in? He wished the answer was a yes but he wasn't sure. He brushed that thought aside, he'd deal with it later, until they found Quinn she wasn't going anywhere, not even work.

Gibbs was just lying there smiling to himself when he noticed his wife stir, she looked up at him & smiled, he realised she had had the same initial thought that he did. She brought her face up to his "morning handsome" "morning beauty" they smiled & kissed for a while, until they heard a moan. Gibbs smiled, clearly Kelly had woken up, he moved his hand that she had been lying on to find her eyes & covered them "go back to sleep Kells" he said smiling, he felt her head drop back onto his shoulder. Shannon smiled at him "I think beds are a good idea".

"I'm going to second that" Kelly said chuckling. Gibbs laughed.

The three of them were talking quietly, when a knock came on the door, Gibbs stood up to see who it was, he knew there were agents on duty, so whomever it was had to have clearance but still he wanted to check before inviting them in. It was Vance.

"Leon, everything ok?" Gibbs was worried, maybe something happened with Mac.

"Everything's fine Gibbs, Tony called last night & said you guys might need some breakfast supplies" he said holding up some shopping bags.

Kelly laughed rather loudly.

"Kelly, you'll wake your brother" Shannon said to her quietly.

"Not likely, the boy can sleep through anything, I've had to put the house alarm buzzer right next to his bed head so it wakes him if it ever goes off….which it never has" Kelly finished making sure to give the information that would keep her parents calm.

Gibbs shook his head & turned back to Vance "Thank you Director, come in, breakfast sounds good"

Shannon stared at him, she was smirking to no end "I seriously hope your not planning on cooking it, because I prefer our lives the way they are, unless miraculously you've learnt how to cook an edible meal Jethro?"

Gibbs smiled, "Shan, I will never take the pleasure away from you in the cooking department, ever, trust me on that" They both laughed.

Vance though looked a little confused.

"Director, my father, not really known for his cooking abilities, more like, how should I put this, well when you cook sunny side eggs & they turn into…" Kelly had tried to say something, but Gibbs stopped her.

"Kells, he does not need to know that story" Gibbs smirked, he was happy that she remembered so much of their time together when she was younger.

"Just trying to explain why you aren't allowed in the kitchen when meals are being prepared & dad, you're not the only one whose barred from the kitchen, he's as bad as you!" Kelly said looking at her sleeping brother.

"I heard that dear sister" Nix said from the floor with his eyes closed.

"He wakes, I am impressed Nix, its not a training or college day & you're awake before well, noon, good job" Kelly said with a smirk.

"Very funny" Nix said standing up.

"Yea, I know I am funny" She said smiling as she took the bags from Vance & headed into the kitchen.

"Regular riot Kells" Nix said following her.

Gibbs & Shannon smiled at each other.

Vance though caught their attention "We should talk" he said quietly.

Gibbs nodded & lead the way to the basement, stopping in the kitchen "We're going downstairs, call when its ready & Kells.."

"I know dad, don't leave this house even if the place is burning down, right?" Kelly said smiling at her father, he smiled & nodded "Right".

The trio descended the stairs "So Leon, how'd it go?" Gibbs asked

"He claims that after he saw Kelly run out of the hospital in Portsmouth he realised what he had done & tried to make it right but Quinn wouldn't let him. He said he told Quinn that his services were no longer required but he wasn't going to loose his pay day, they had other business dealings, he said that he would suffer if he went back on the arrangement, so he had to keep it going. Claimed he would have lost too much." Vance said looking between them.

Shannon looked at her husband, they knew he was a money hungry bastard, but to continue this once he realised what he did because he might loose some money, just didn't sit right on any level with her & she knew how he must be feeling.

"Director are you saying he said it continued because of business dealings?" Shannon asked she was stunned.

"I'm afraid so, in particular his international freight business with countries in South America. He says though that he didn't know Kelly went back to the hospital until the day after, when Quinn showed him photos of.." Vance didn't finish, he knew they would be able to guess.

Gibbs & Shannon looked at each other, the bastard had hurt her enough to leave visible evidence instantly.

"You believe him Leon?" Gibbs demanded, he was now regretting not handling the interrogation, he wanted to go another round with the bastard.

"That's probably the thing that I believe the most out of everything he said, he seemed genuinely upset at the fact that Quinn had done what he did to Kelly." Vance said calmly.

"He actually said Kelly, Leon?" Gibbs asked, even though he knew the answer

"No, I did & I corrected him every time Gibbs, eventually he got the hint" Vance answered, it was one of the things he took pleasure in doing during his "interview" with Mac.

Gibbs was about to say something when the door opened, they all turned to see Nix burst in "Our house alarms gone off, its Quinn!"

AU: Whats Quinn doing at Kelly's place?
