I'M BACK.
I finished Chapter 4 much earlier than I expected so I am now uploading this. This chapter's also quite short, and for that I deeply apologize.
I would have uploaded this hours ago but due to the fact the app was glitching I was unable to. However, I have sent an email so hopefully that will be resolved soon enough.

Enjoy this guys x
Megan woke up on the morning of the 13th of July and groaned.
"I'll bet it's 6 or something. I'm way too tired to get up" she moaned before she looked at her clock and her eyes widened. "It's 9:30!"
She opened her curtains and quickly got dressed before she ran downstairs and into the kitchen.
"Morning sweetheart. You're up late" Jenny observed.
"Are you not supposed to be at work?" Megan asked as she got out two pieces of bread and put them in the toaster.
"Nope, I've got the morning off to come with you to the airport and then I'll go in" her Mom replied.
Megan nodded as she got out a plate, the butter and a knife. Eventually her toast was done so she sat down at the table with a glass of water. She quickly munched down her toast and gulped down her water before she went and brushed her teeth.
As soon as Megan had finished brushing her teeth she put a new toothbrush and a new tube of toothpaste in her suitcase before she took her suitcase out to the car and put it in the trunk. She closed the trunk and went back inside, making sure she had everything she needed in her rucksack for the plane ride. Megan took off her shoes and sat down at the kitchen table with her Mom, waiting for Ducky to come into the kitchen.
"Good morning!" He said cheerfully a few minutes later and Megan jumped in fright.
"Not nice Duckman" Megan replied, glaring at him. "You know I hate frights."
"I apologize, Megan" the doctor stated.
"Apology accepted" Megan said with a nod as Ducky got out his breakfast.
He eventually sat down with his bowl of muesli and a cup of earl grey tea and they all made small talk for a while.
"Megan?" Jenny asked suddenly in an anxious tone and her daughter looked at her Mom questioningly. "Have you got something to chew on for the take off and the landing?"
"Chill, Ma. I've got a huge multi pack of polos" Megan assured the older redhead.
"OK, just checking" her Mom responded in a calmer tone.
The teenager laughed as she got up to get a rucksack for the stuff she needed for the flight. She grabbed all the stuff she wanted to put in the bag before she did just that. She put the bag on the chair and sat back down as she waited for Ducky to finish his breakfast. Eventually he did and he got up to do everything he needed to do in order to get ready.
Megan and Jenny sat at the table, waiting for Ducky to get ready. Eventually he was so they all put as much of Megan and Ducky's luggage in the trunk of Jenny's car and anything that did not fit in the trunk went into the backseat with Megan. The three of them drove to the airport and they all got out.
Anxiety rose in Megan and her eyes filled with tears as she walked into the airport. Jenny noticed her daughter's face and squeezed her hand. After a while, they got to security and Jenny wrapped her daughter in a hug.
"I love you Meg. You're going to be alright. Call me anytime, even if it's the middle of the night here" Jenny whispered.
Megan nodded against her Mom's shoulder. They broke apart and Jenny hugged Ducky.
"Thanks for doing this, Duckman. I love you" she whispered.
Ducky smiled as he hugged Jenny back.
"I love you too, Jennifer" he replied softly.
Ducky and Jenny broke apart before Jenny quickly hugged Megan again and kissed her daughter's hair. Megan and Ducky turned around, went into security and did not look back.
NCIS
Megan unloaded her backpack into the trays before she took off her shoes and went through the scanner.
"You're fine" the woman said and Megan nodded.
Megan put the stuff that she had taken out of her backpack as she waited at the other side for Ducky. Ducky came through just as Megan was putting the tray onto one of the piles. He then got his backpack and put the stuff that was taken out back into it. The two of them then proceeded through to the food hall and went to Wetherspoon's for lunch. Ducky had roast beef and Megan had sausages and mash.
"Mmm" Megan said. "I love Wetherspoon's sausages and mash."
Ducky smiled.
"Wetherspoon's is a very good restaurant" he agreed before he went serious. "Megan, the flight will take about eight hours. We are due to take off at twelve, which means that we will land around 4 PM DC time."
"That's 20:00 here then, right?" The teenager checked and the Scotsman nodded.
The redhead groaned.
"I'm gonna be exhausted" she said.
"The time change takes a while to get used to. You can sleep as much as you need to. I will make sure that you have a space to sleep at NCIS" Ducky told her.
"Thank you" Megan stated and the doctor smiled.
They finished their meal and went to the waiting room beside the runway. Eventually it was time to get on the plane and so they did. They walked on and they took all of their stuff out that they wanted and then Megan sat down on her seat in while Ducky put their other bags in the top.
The redhead tied herself in, and as soon as she did that, dread filled her. Her breathing sped up, her chest tightened, she started sweating and she began to feel dizzy. Tears began to roll down her face as she realized. {She was having a panic attack}. Ducky finished putting their bags in and he took one look at the girl who was like a granddaughter to him. He sat down immediately.
"Megan" the Scotsman said gently in his British accent. "Look at me, my dear."
He squeezed her hand.
"Copy my breathing" he told her before he emphasized his breathing.
"I can't" she cried.
"You can" he reminded her.
The teenager copied Ducky's breathing and her own gradually slowed down. She burst into tears right after. Ducky wrapped her in a hug as she sobbed.
"I've got you, Megan. You're OK, I'm here" he whispered as he rubbed her back while she cried.
A flight attendant walked over and opened her mouth to say something but Ducky shook his head. The flight attendant nodded and walked away. Megan pulled back and looked at Ducky.
"Are you alright?" He asked her.
The redhead nodded. The older man wiped the tears off her cheeks and squeezed her knee before he began to read and she started to watch a movie on her phone. The plane eventually went to the runway and Ducky popped a Wether's original butter candy into his mouth and Megan put in two polos as the plane took off.
Two hours later, the film Megan was watching was done and Ducky had finished his book.
"What film were you watching?" He asked her.
"Pride and Prejudice" she answered with a grin. "What were you reading?"
"A Tale of Two Cities" Ducky told the teenager who was like a granddaughter to him with a smile.
"You really love that book" Megan observed.
"I do. You really love that film" Ducky said.
"I do" she stated.
They continued like that for the rest of the flight, just chilling out and occasionally talking. They got to Dulles International Airport, walked off the plane and into the airport. They went through security before they got their bags and walked into the main area.
"Woah" the redhead gasped. "This is bigger than the airport at home."
Ducky smiled.
"It is quite something, isn't it?" He asked.
Megan nodded with a small smile before they walked out to find Ducky's car. They got to it and the teenager's eyes widened.
"This is cooler than in the photographs you showed me!" She cried.
The older man smiled as they both got in. They drove to his house and there was a van there.
"Oh no, my boiler's getting upgraded. I forgot about that. I'll have to call someone to ask us if we can stay there" the doctor said before he grabbed his cellphone out of his pocket and dialled a number.
"Jethro? It's me. I'm back from Scotland, but I have a problem" Ducky stated and Megan's mouth dropped and her eyes widened.
"Jethro?" She mouthed, shocked.
The older man put up one finger to signal a minute.
"My boiler's getting updated, and someone's come to stay with me. Would we be able to stay with you?" He asked.
"Thank you Jethro. We will be right over" the doctor said before he hung up.
"Who is Jethro? Is it my Father?" Megan questioned.
"Yes, Jethro is your Father" the Scotsman told her calmly. "He has kindly offered us his hospitality until the workers finish on my boiler."
The teenager nodded. Ducky turned the key while pressing the clutch and the car turned on. They drove for ten minutes to a house with sandy brick walls and a red door. Anxiety filled Megan and she took deep breaths to try and calm herself.
"It will be OK, my dear. I promise" Ducky assured her and she nodded.
They got out of the car, grabbed their bags and went to the door. Ducky rang the doorbell and a man with salt and pepper hair answered.
"Hey, Duck. How was-" the man was cut off when he saw Megan. "Who're you?"
"My name is Megan. Megan Shepard. I am your daughter" Megan answered.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN.
I LOVE CLIFFHANGERS. I apologize for that, but I could not resist it, plus, I had no other ideas on how to end this chapter *shrugs*.
I'm so sorry it was so short, I promise you that both Chapters 3 and 4 are longer.
Please let me know what you thought x
