4- Lunch Time
"Excuse me Agent Gibbs, where are you going?" Director Shepard asked intrigued.
"Home, Direct-or." Gibbs replied, in the elevator.
"Home? That's a first." Jenny said her interest evident. "Why?"
"Why?" he repeated. "Because, I… Have a family friend at home ok?"
"Can I meet the 'Family Friend'?" she enquired
"No, you cannot." Jethro said curtly. The doorbell *dinged* and they both stepped out.
Gibbs pulled into his driveway, grabbed his gear and hopped out. He saw the curtains open, and the window open wide. He smiled and went inside. When he slid his shoes off and put his hat on the hat rack, he went in to the kitchen and smelt pine-o fresh. Racing down the stairs, Kate saw Gibbs and went "I'm sorry, I got bored when I got back and I know I can't touch your boat, so I went for a walk to the corner store with that card you gave me and I got washing powder, cleaning supplies and some other stuff and decided to help you."
She babbled on. "Stop." He said, so she went silent. "Did you get everything you needed, like clothes and stuff?" That was Gibbs' priority, making sure she was ok, had enough clothes and things for her. When she nodded, he continued. "That's fine, but don't clean if you don't want to." She nodded again.
"I made your lunch. It's in the fridge. I also bought to plastic jugs, one for water and one for juice." Kate said happily, getting two plates out of the fridge. Gibbs sat at his rarely used dinner table and Kate bought him a sandwich. "It's chicken, cheese, lettuce and mayonnaise." She said in a rather small voice. "I didn't know what you wanted."
Gibbs took a bite. It tasted good. "Kate don't worry, it's great." He continued eating and talking to Kate, who was telling him about what she, had been doing for the past two years. Being her niece and nephew's nanny mostly for her big brother Alex was her main job. Kate showed a picture of herself, and Alex's two children Conrad and Sierra. Gibbs chuckled a little, taking Kate by surprise. "You and kids?" he asked questionably.
"You sound like Tony. But yes, I have always wanted them. Two would do." She said to herself more than to Gibbs.
"I hope you do one day." Gibbs said, going to wash up.
"Hey!" She quickly stopped him. He looked at her. "Sorry, I meant- Never apologize I know, it just sort of came out."
Jethro looked at her bemused. "Here" He gave her the plate. "I'll be home late, so don't wait up."
"Gibbs?" she called out to him. He looked at her with his NCIS cap and jacket on. "Be safe."
"Always am." He replied and left…
