A/N: To my newest followers/favourites, YAY! Welcome aboard! Great to have you on board! To those of you who are total newbies to my adventures, this is special welcome! I hope you enjoy this adventure, and enjoy my particular writing style.

To my reviewers, you rock! But without further delay, let's see how Gibbs goes trying to save his girl!


Gibbs was cursing the darkness, he could barely see his hand in front of his face as he swam trying to find his girl, he came up for a breath, it wasn't helping that he was barely able to hold his breath, he wasn't exactly completely healthy himself. He saw an area of water still rippling from some kind of impact & raced towards it diving again.

He went down a short way when he spotted her, it had been a while since he'd last gone for a swim, but he used every ounce of swimming strength he could muster to reach her as fast as he could, when he did he realised she wasn't alert, grabbing her around the waist he propelled them to the surface.

He came up taking solace in being able to breathe himself, while he struggled to take whatever was in her mouth out, her jaw had clenched up "Ziva!" he yelled

Getting no response, he treaded water as he continued to attempt to unclench her jaw "Come on Kell!" he said, praying really, the jaw finally loosened & he carefully extracted the handkerchief, breathing a sigh of relief when he felt her pulse still pumping, he gave her a breath trying to get her to breathe again, "Ziva!" He yelled, where the hell is she?


Ziva was stunned at Gibbs's reaction, but she took off after the guy "Stop!" she yelled.

Quinn bolted for his vehicle glad to see both his men having already come to & already there "We're leaving!"

Barnet saw his boss approach but had a lady chasing, he drew his gun "get lost honey!"

Ziva stopped & aimed her own weapon "unlikely"

They stared each other down as they heard Gibbs yell for Ziva.

"You really should go help him" Quinn snarled.

"Think he'd want me to arrest you" Ziva replied, not getting a suspect was a very big no no in Gibbs's book.

Quinn heard him yell again for her "Seriously doubt that, emotions tend to cloud people's judgement, and I would say his emotional state right now is fried!"

Ziva didn't know what he meant, but she heard Gibbs scream again, he sounded almost like he was desperate for help.

"Bye bye" Quinn smirked as he & his men all backed up into the car.

Ziva turned instantly running back towards the river, she saw Gibbs swimming towards the pier where a ladder was with the girl, she ran around to meet him "They got away Gibbs"

"I don't care right now! Help me!" Gibbs barked, he needed to get her out of the cold water.

Ziva took hold of the girl under her armpits & pulled her up, she was shocked at the look on Gibbs's face, she'd never seen him show fear but he was looking petrified "I've got her"

Gibbs helped Ziva get her up to the pier & immediately set about removing the rope from around her hands, he checked her pulse again, taking a breath when she still had one. He leaned down & started giving her mouth to mouth "come on baby! Breath!"

"Dam it, breath angel! Don't leave me now!" Gibbs begged as he continued to breathe for her, he pushed the pain in his own chest away, he just couldn't bare it if he lost her now.

Ziva couldn't understand what Gibbs was saying? Nor why he was looking like he was, but she was completely shocked at what came next.

Gibbs stroked his girls hair & kissed her forehead, he leaned closer to her ear "Kelly Anne Georgina Eleanor Louise Barbara Gibbs, breathe!" he whispered "Damn it Kelly Anne, breathe for dad, now!" he finished sternly.

Kelly started to cough & splutter the water in her lungs up.

Gibbs saw her start to cough & sat her up instantly, keeping hold of her, he helped her get it all out by gently tapping her back.

Ziva was stunned, he called her by the name his dead daughter went by, but she was actually more than stunned, she was shocked at the almost instant response the girl gave. It was almost to the second of him finishing his sentence that she started breathing, it was like she'd heard him & just complied or followed his orders, wait, daughter? She was majorly confused!

Kelly had finally gotten the coughing under control & had expelled all the water she thought was in her chest, she remembered hitting the water & trying to swim but with no hands to use & her breathing constricted she couldn't get anywhere. She realised that her hands were free, not to mention she could breathe, but she was sitting in the arms of someone who held her strongly but also lovingly, it had to be her dad "dad?" she whispered.

Gibbs smiled, the word he never thought he'd hear again, spoken by someone he'd missed more than anything. He moved to look at her & smiled "Hi baby, I love you!" he said as he caressed her cheek "I need to check you, ok?" he had to make sure she was ok.

Kelly nodded as she watched him check her, it was like... inspection time! He always checked her head to toe if she'd ever fallen off her horse or bike, that's what he was doing now. She watched as he checked both her legs, before moving onto her arms.

Gibbs was moving up her right arm, squeezing as he went, he wanted to make sure nothing was broken, he kept watch on her face to see if there was any reaction, but she just kept her head down, not really looking at anything, he understood it. He finished up by doing a thorough check of her neck. Relieved she seemed to be ok "perfect angel" he whispered.

Kelly couldn't say anything, she just fell into him crying.

Gibbs took hold of her "Shh my angel, it's going to be ok, we'll sort through everything" he said gently rubbing her back trying to sooth her like he used to all those years ago "everything's going to be ok my little Kell bear" he was still majorly confused, but he had her in his arms & she was safe, he'd keep it that way.

Ziva was just confused, Gibbs had gone from looking furious at that guy, to well, petrified when the girl wasn't breathing, now he was like a big teddy bear with a girl he clearly believed was his daughter & the girl believed it too? Something wasn't right.

Gibbs pulled her back from his chest & wiped away the tears "Angel, I promise you everything's going to be ok, but I'm a little confused, who was he?"

Kelly swallowed "His name's Trent Quinn"

"How do you know him?" Gibbs asked, he had so many questions but he'd have to take it one at a time.

Kelly looked up at him with wide eyes, having no clue what his reaction was going to be "He's Mac's head of security"

Gibbs stared at her, what was she saying "Angel, do you mean Mac as in" but he didn't need to finish the sentence, he saw her nod. He couldn't really believe it but if he was behind everything he would kill the guy.

"He took us to his farmhouse after the accident, mum was hurt but he refused to take her to hospital, he brought a doctor in. A few days later he came & told us that you'd died & he gave mum your dog tags & death certificate. He moved us to Houston saying we all needed a fresh start, he wouldn't even let us come home to pack up!" Kelly poured out.

Gibbs listened as his girl let it all pour out, which finished in a sea of tears, he was going to kill the guy! Screw the fact that he was technically family, he was only Shannon's step father, he was going to kill him, he'd stolen his family! No wonder the guy was in his ear so much when he got back from Kuwait to not go see their bodies, it would have ruined his plans! He cursed himself for letting him talk him into not going! Damn! Damn! Damn!

Gibbs knew there was a reason he never liked the guy! The pain he now felt at what his girls have had to go through came to him like a tone of bricks, he just held her as he tried to calm them both.

Ziva had listened to the girl, Kelly's explanation & was stunned, she knew what accident she meant, it had to be the one that they'd thought they'd died in, but her research hadn't been extensive enough to know who this Mac was, whoever it was, was going to get their arse kicked, or maybe he'd be shot, Gibbs was looking furious at the explanation involving him. She was feeling shocked & horrible at what at had occurred.

Kelly had missed the feeling of security her dad's embrace had & was loving being in it again, but a thought came rushing back, her brother! She pulled back "we have to go! We've gotta get to Fredericksburg!" she finished trying to stand.

"Is that where mum is?" Gibbs asked standing them up, remembering what Quinn had said.

"No, Phoenix! We have to go" Kelly said trying to pull him towards the car park.

"Who's Phoenix?" Gibbs asked confused as he followed her.

"My brother" Kelly answered, how'd he not know that? "He's my responsibility! We have to get to him before Quinn does!" she finished pulling harder for him to follow.

Gibbs stopped in his tracks "Brother? Kelly, you do not have a brother"

Kelly froze & turned, she suddenly remembered he didn't know about him! "Surprise?" she said softly.


A/N: Phew, Gibbs got his girl! and I guess she still listens to her dad ;) But me thinks he's a little mad at Mac! Guy will certainly get an beating if Gibbs has any say!

How exactly though will Gibbs react to news that he has a son? Where's Shannon? and how will they go trying to beat Quinn to him? But when Gibbs overhear's something he's left absolutely shocked, yet again, but what will it be?

I love to hear how you're enjoying this, as well as your thoughts/comments, so review away! More up soon!
