When Tony's bed was wheeled into his room he saw Kate, Abby, McGee, Gibbs, David McAllister and the director. The room was filled with flowers and balloons. The room was filled with love.
When the bed was in place and the machines which watched his conditions were set up Tony tried to sit up. He had waited for this moment for so long.
"I've missed you so much." Tony told them.
"I've missed you too. You look so much better than I expected." Abby said after a while. Everyone waited for Kate to say something but she didn't.
"How are you feeling? Abby has filled me in but I want to hear from you." Tony asked.
"I'm ok." She answered.
"I'll be home before Christmas. I talked with the doctor before they wheeled me in here. He said that it was a great sign that I handled the helicopter ride so well. He even said I could start to work next month. Sitting at the desk then but it is something. It's like a miracle. Some bleeding in my stomach which the surgery fixed and now I'm just as before." Tony told her. He didn't want her to worry about him. They had been through a tough ordeal but it was all over now.
"That's great to hear. I can't wait to see you two at your desks again." McGee told them.
"There will be a lot to do when you two come back. As you all have noticed we have been swamped with cases lately and I've decided to recruit three more agents. I think it would be great if the whole team could help with finding the best three agents since they will be working with you." The director said. She had come up with the idea about recruiting more agents and Gibbs said that it would be too much to do just for him if he had to handle the process of reading applications and doing interviews since it isn't really his way of recruiting people. Gibbs suggested the Dinozzos could do that since both would be on desk duty and when they thought they found some great people Gibbs could interview them and let them interact with the others to see if they can handle working at NCIS. The director knew it was just an excuse to get them back at work as soon as possible. She knew he missed his best agents too.
"I'm glad you both are getting better." Gibbs then said.
"So David I've heard you are planning to stay. Are you joining NCIS?" Tony then asked just wanting to change the subject.
"I'm staying but not joining NCIS. I'm keeping my teaching job. I like to teach and I've got enough adrenaline kicks to last a life time." David answered.
Tony smiled. He knew David stayed to see if it could work out with Abby. Tony hoped it would because they seemed perfect for each other.
…………………………April 2006………………………….
"So how are things going?" McGee wondered when Tony and Kate came back from the doctors. Both had doctor's appointments.
"I'm healing very well." Tony answered.
"He wanted me to stay in bed for a few days again. I hope the next time I'm pregnant it'll be easier." Kate told him.
"So are you going home now?" McGee wondered.
"The doctor said I could finish my shift." Kate then said.
"I need a few people in the field now. McGee and Tony get ready." Gibbs then said.
"So I'm still going through the applications?" Kate asked him. There had been a lot of applications and even ten interviews. Five out of them who came for an interview were later asked to come back so they could meet there future co-workers. Gibbs didn't like any of them so they were back at square one. The director was pressuring him to at least find a replacement for Kate when she went on maternity leave.
"There must be someone there which is acceptable." Gibbs told her.
"I'm sure there is." Kate then said.
Then Gibbs, Tony and McGee left the office.
………………………………
A few minutes later woman came into the room.
"I'm looking for Gibbs or agent Dinozzo." The woman said to Kate.
"Why do want to talk to them?" Kate wondered. She wondered why she wanted to talk to Gibbs and Tony.
"I heard it is them who are handling applications for the jobs at NCIS." The woman answered.
"Oh, so you're looking for Caitlin Dinozzo!" Kate said. She wondered why she hadn't thought about herself when the woman asked after Dinozzo.
"Yes." the woman quickly stated.
"I'm Kate Dinozzo. Why are you here? Everyone has to send in their applications first." Kate then told her.
"A friend told me that the best way to get this job isn't to send in an application but to prove yourself for the boss." She answered.
"You just missed the boss. So what are you working with now?"
"FBI in Washington." She answered and then she gave her application to Kate.
"I did write an application but I wanted to hand it in, in person. I'm Rebecka Williamson but everyone calls me Becky."
"Are you married?" Kate asked after she saw her ring.
"I've been married for six years and have two children. My twins Sasha and Michael. They are five years old. I hope having children won't be a problem." Rebecka wondered.
"That isn't a problem. Are you and your family ready to move? It's a big decision." Kate wondered. She felt like she was conducting an interview with Rebecka but she immediately liked her. Rebecka instantly felt like someone she could work with.
"My husband works a lot from home and it isn't that far to Washington if he needs to go there for work. He supports me in everything I do." Becky answered.
"We go undercover for a long time, have cases which make us fly across the world and stay away for a very long time…You know that, right?" Kate asked.
"I understand."
"So who told you to come here?"
"Someone I know. So can I stay until they come back?" Becky wondered.
"Why not?"
……………….A few hours later……………
The guys had come back to work and everyone found it easy to talk to Becky. Kate wondered if Gibbs had met her before in Washington. He didn't seem hostile towards her like he had the others. Gibbs had been in Washington with David two times the past month. She wondered if David had something to do with it too. Kate had talked to Becky a lot while they were gone so she had found out a lot about her. Abby had come and talked with them too since she hadn't so much to do until they came back with the evidence.
A few hours later everyone was ready to go home. Becky had left NCIS and it was only the team still there.
"I know you did this. You've met here before haven't you?" Kate asked Gibbs.
"She worked on your case last year in Washington. She heard we were searching for people and called me too see if were still looking for people a month ago. I met her and told her to come by one day but I didn't think it would be today. I want to add her to the team." Gibbs told her.
"It's ok with me." Kate then said. She had read Becky's application and liked it.
"Then it's settled. Now we have two left. David knows someone who might be interested. He lives in San Francisco but after David talked to him he is willing to come and visit." Gibbs told the team.
"So just one left then." Tony stated. He was glad someone was going to start to work here when Kate was home.
"That person has to be in the pile of applications." Gibbs sighed. He hated going through them.
"We'll find that person." Kate said hopeful. She felt better now that two person wanted to work at NCIS.
………………………………3 years later……………….
Matthew Dinozzo was born in June 2006 and his sister Jessica was born in November 2007.
David and Abby got married in June 2007. A few months later, in October Abby gave birth to their daughter Ashley. Abby had a great assistant who worked instead of her when she was on maternity leave. Abby had chosen her assistant herself so she was pleased with Amy.
McGee met his girl of his dreams in late 2006. They are dating and McGee is happy.
Three other agents were added to the team. Rebecka (Becky) Williamson, Andrew (Andy) Montgomery and Thomas (Tom) Levineau. Andy was the guy from San Francisco and Tom the one they found in the pile.
THE END
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
I hope you liked it. I would have written more chapters if I knew I had time to. I'm thinking about a sequel but I don't know how much time I will have on my hands the upcoming month so that's why I ended this story now and have postponed the possible sequel. I just don't like having many days go by between each chapter.
R&R. I hope you can write feedback. Thanks in advance.
