The Party
At six pm the guests began to arrive for Aidan's party. Tony's parents were there, so were Kate's sister and niece. It wasn't long before Abby, McGee, and Ducky arrived. Gibbs and Jen were on the way so the only people they were waiting on were Kate's parents. Mikaila went up to Kate and asked "Aunt Kate where's Aidan?" "He was taking a nap but I'll go see if he's awake." Kate replied. Kate went into Aidan's room to find him awake. "Mommy" Aidan said happily. Kate went over and picked him up. "Aidan, there are a bunch of people here to see you." Kate said.
Soon Kate brought Aidan out to the living room and everyone made a fuss over him. First to see him were Tony's parents. "Hey there Aidan" Patricia said. "How is the birthday boy?" Richard asked. "Aidan tell your grandparents hi." Kate said. "Hi." Aidan said then he spotted Mikaila and pointed to her "kaila" he said obviously wanting down to see his cousin. Kate put him down and he played with Mikaila until the doorbell rang and Kate picked him up when she went to answer the door. It was Kate's parents. "Hi Kate" Jack said. "Hi" Kate replied. "Boy has he grown." Susan said looking at her grandson. "Well that's because you haven't seen him in six months." Kate said. "Let me hold him." Susan said. Kate reluctantly handed Aidan to his grandmother but Aidan started to cry. "Mommy" he said as he reached for Kate. Kate quickly took him back in her arms. "Hey it's okay sweetie." She said as she held him close and soon he stopped crying. "It looks like he has a little separation anxiety Kate." Jack said. "No he's just shy around people he doesn't know or see that much." Kate said as she led them into the living room and sat down next to Tony. It wasn't long before Gibbs and Jen arrived. Soon they decided that it was time to open presents. Kate and Tony sat on the floor with Aidan to help him open his presents and as soon as Aidan got the hang of opening presents there was no stopping him.
Later that night after everyone left, Kate was sitting in the rocking chair in Aidan's room unsuccessfully trying to rock him to sleep. Tony came in to find Kate holding there son, he couldn't help but smile. "Kate, why don't we let him sleep with us tonight? He obviously has no interest in going to sleep right now." Tony suggested. "Okay." Kate said as she got up and walked over to Tony and kissed him. Then they went on to bed.
