A/N: Ok, not much plot to this one, slight humor… oh, for the record, when they sign I use '' I don't know why, just figure it's easier…

Gibbs sat at his desk later that morning doing file work on his computer, as Kalila played on the floor in the middle of the four team desks with her stuffed Simba. Then she stood up and went to Gibbs's desk.

"Can we go see Auntie Abby now?" She asked, Ziva watching her carefully with a smile.

"In a few minutes, ok?" said Gibbs as he smiled at her, and then went back to work.

"Ok," She said and went and got her Simba just as Jen chose to stick her head out her office door.

She immediately saw the little girl and went down the stairs into the squad room.

"What is a three year old doing playing in the middle of the squad room?" Jen asked the four agents at the surrounding computers.

"She's four," said Ziva immedaitley, "And she's adorable."

"I can see that David, Gibbs," said Jen, looking for backup, "Why is a four year old with your team?"

"It's a long story," said Gibbs, looking paternally over at the little girl, and then sensing Jen's glare, "But we've got time. David and McGee, can you two please bring Kalila down to see Abbs, and ask her if she's done with those samples."

"On it, boss," said McGee standing up as Ziva took Kalila's hand and her stuffed animal.

"Bye Gibbs, bye Uncle Tony," said Kalila waving as she and the other two got on the elevator.

"I'm waiting," said Jen still glaring at Gibbs.

"Well, I only know up to when Abbs showed up at my place last night with her, for the rest of the story, you can ask 'Uncle Tony' if he's up for it," Gibbs said, looking her in the eye.

"DiNozzo," Jen said, rounding on him.

"My sister, well, half sister, died last night in a car crash," said Tony, "I wasn't exactly her favorite person in the world. Anyways she was best friends with Abby and well she left Abby custody of Kalila, my niece. Which brings Boss into the picture. I think I'm right in saying we came to work so we wouldn't be home thinking about it, and no one wanted Kals with some strange day care just yet, so she's here."

Jen turned back to Gibbs and he shrugged.

"You saying she's causing a disturbance, playing, quietly, on the floor with her Simba?" said Gibbs

"No, just caught me off guard having a little girl in our midst," said Jen, covering her butt, and she went back up to her office.

Gibbs shook his head, and then went down to the lab to see Abby. He walked in and McGee and David were evidently already gone. Kalila ran right up to him and hugged his leg, he picked her up and put her on his hip, then Abby came over and gave him a quick kiss.

"Ewww," Kalila said and Gibbs turned his head to look over at her, and began to gently tickle her.

"What you don't like me anymore? Didn't snow white or someone live via kisses?" He said letting her down.

"Yeah, but they were princes, you're no prince," she said and she went over and sat in Abby's desk chair.

Abby tried to stifle her laughter, but ended up bursting out laughing, Gibbs glared at her.

"Oh, c'mon, that was priceless," Abby said through her laughter, he continued to just watch her, and she sobered up, "Don't worry; you're my prince, not her's. Actually I would be slightly concerned if she thought of you as her prince…"

Gibbs didn't like where this was going, and also felt a little teasing coming on.

"Abbs," He said warningly.

"Alright, shutting up," said Abby and he smiled.

"Ok," said Gibbs and Kalila had returned.

'Does she know how to sign?' Gibbs asked in his flawless ASL.

Abby shook her head, picking Kalila up.

'How about at lunch we take her to pick out paint for her bedroom?'

'Ok,' signed Abby putting Kalila back down as Tony entered the lab.

'When's the funeral going to end up being?'

'Sunday'

Gibbs glanced over at Kalila.

"Yeah, it's gonna be rough," said Abby audibly, and Gibbs just nodded.
