The Odd Couple.
Dear Diary,
Well I never thought I would see the day.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Agent Tobias Fornell living together under one roof. Even if it is for a week. Ahhh...if only it was Tobias' week to have Emily. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall if Dianne had to drop her off at dad's. Better yet what I wouldn't give to be there if she was dropping her off.
I'm fairly sure that Tobias will end up annoying the hell out of dad; seeing as though dad is so set in his ways; ironing his shirts in front of some old western, eating some sort of takeout then going to the basement to work on his boat and drink some bourbon then falling asleep under said boat.
Tobias will probably want to watch the news, talk shop, go shopping for food, cook a healthy dinner and then talk about Dianne.
Dad will get so frustrated that he will pack a bag, chuck it in the truck and head for our place.
Maybe I should go get the guest room ready...
After helping Amy out of her car seat and closing the door, Kelly walked behind her daughter watching closely as she ran up the front stairs to the front door where she stood on her tip toes and only just managed to get her little hands around the door handle to open the front door where she ran inside. Upon entering the house Kelly noticed her daughter had stopped and was looking at the couch where there was a folded blanket and pillow.
'Grandpa Jack must be here' Kelly stated. At hearing that Amy's eyes lit up and she turned and began to run towards the basement. 'Wait at the top of the stairs' Kelly called after her daughter.
Just before entering the kitchen, Amy crashed into a pair of legs. Looking up she said disappointedly 'It's not Grandpa Jack'
'Fornell!' greeted a surprised Kelly. 'Get kicked out of Santa school? Scare too many kids?' she asked as she eyed his clean cut face.
'Ha ha Kelly. Hello Amy' he greeted as he bent down to the young girl, as she looked at him unsure. Then out of the corner of her eye she saw movement and turning her head she saw Gibbs 'Grandpa!' she greeted Gibbs excitedly.
'Hey kiddo' he greeted with a smile as he picked her up and kissed her cheek 'Did you say hi to Fornell?' he asked as he watched Amy bite her bottom lip as she looked at Fornell.
'He's a bit scary isn't he' asked Gibbs in a whisper, as Amy nodded her head.
'What's with the blankets and pillow on the couch?' questioned Kelly. 'We thought Grandpa Jack was here'
'They're for me'
'Why?' Forgot to pay Dianne's alimony check so she's taken possession of your house'
'No. Gas leak in my street. All residents are out until they fix it'
'What's that smell Grandpa, it smells yummy' asked Amy as she sniffed the air in the kitchen.
'That's my pasta sauce' answered Fornell as Kelly looked between him and her father.
Gibbs sighed 'What Kelly' aware she wanted to ask something.
'Nothing' replied Kelly. 'Just...did I miss the wedding? Your letting Fornell sleep over and he's cooking dinner.
'Kelly' warned Gibbs.
'Joke dad. I know you would never venture to the dark side and join forces with the FBI'
Gibbs shook his head and turned his attention back to his grad daughter 'Want to go watch some horses on the TV?' He asked as Amy nodded her head.
AN: not the best chapter. Sorry.
