Agent Fornell followed the rambunctious shouts of the legion of toddlers and young children running around in the backyard with an excited Toni yapping at their heels, walking through streamers and balloons. He stopped by the porch and just watched the sight before him. He looked on as his friend's daughter laughed and played with her cousins and friends, being tossed up in the air by her grandparents. To the naked eye, the loving scene of friends and family coming to celebrate the exuberant little girls' 2nd birthday would have been just that. However, to the trained eye, the look of sadness was still evident in the families' eyes.
"You gonna hang by the bins all day Fornell?"
"Yeah well my ex always saw me living in a dumpster with the roaches after the divorce, just making her prophecy come true you know," Gibbs laughed in agreement and handed him a beer "Come on through Tobias, steaks are just about ready"
"UNCA FORNYEL!" A little hurricane dressed in a light pink and green dress came thundering through the crowd to her Daddy and 'uncle'. "Well hey there, how's NCIS' princess?"
"Good!" she exclaimed as she looked at him expectantly
"did you getted me a birfday present?" Gibbs looked at his daughter horrified by her directness; Fornell just laughed,
"She is your daughter Gibbs, straight to the point just like her old man". He crouched down to her level
"yeah I do, but you're going to have to come around to the front with me, because it's just too big for me to bring to you." Stacy looked at her father for approval and when he nodded she put her hand in Fornell's and dragged him round front, with an amused Gibbs bringing up the rear.
"DADDY!"
