Here I am again! Thought I'd type a chapter tonight, since I have nothing better to do. Shout out to all of the reviewers!

After writing their reports, team Gibbs (Abby, Ducky, and Palmer included) all headed to the diner where Emma worked. Tim had even called his sister, Sarah, to invite her.
They were getting ready to walk in, when they spotted Emma reading a book and wiping down a table at the same time.
"Is that her, Tim?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah, that's her alright." Tim smiled.
"Timmy, she's very pretty." Abby observed.
"She must get that from her mom." Tony joked, earning him a slap on the back of the head from Gibbs and an elbow in the ribs from Ziva.
"I think she is very bright and pretty, McGee." Ziva announced.
"Thank you, Ziva. I agree." Tim responded before walking in to the mostly empty diner.
"Nobody holds a candle to me in my red high heels!" Emma sang, not looking up from her book. "I will be with you folks in just a second."
"Emma!" Brynn hissed, from behind the counter.
"What, Brynn?" Emma looked at her.
"Isn't that him?" Brynn wondered, pointing to Tim. It was then that Emma finally saw who all walked into the diner, and broke into a grin.
"What are you guys doing here? I didn't know that NCIS agents had time to take a coffee break." Emma laughed.
"We figured since we finished the case that we deserve a good cup of coffee." Tim responded, also grinning.
"Well you guys are in luck. We have the best coffee around." Emma answered, running up to Tim and giving him a quick hug.
"Do you guys have good pie? I've been craving pie lately, and I don't know why. Tony mused, earning himself yet another smack on the back of the head. "Sorry Boss, I was just thinking aloud."
"Actually, we have excellent pie. I recommend the strawberry pie, which is freshly made every day, by Henry." Emma told him.
"So can we sit down?" Gibbs wondered.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Go right ahead. I will back with your menus." Emma walked off.
"She kind of reminds me of you." Sarah told Tim.
"Yes, she seems to be a proper lad, like yourself, Timothy." Ducky remarked.
"Gee Timmy, she hasn't seen you in all these years and she still acts like you." Abby laughed, taking a seat at a near-by table. The group followed her actions and also sat down. A few seconds late, Emma came back with a menu for each of them.
"Where are my manners? Ems, this is my sister, Sarah, our medical examiner Ducky, and his assistant, Palmer." Tim motioned to each.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Emma, as you probably know." Emma chuckled. "That's Brynn, and that's Henry. Luke and Toby already left." Emma pointed to her two co-workers.
"Hey, listen, could you just bring me out a sample of each kind of pie?" Tony wondered, receiving some odd looks.
"I can do that, Tony." Emma strolled off to the kitchen.
"So that's your dad?" Henry asked.
"That's him." Emma replied, not paying attention.
"When can I talk to him?" Henry wondered. Emma's head snapped up.
"Oh no you don't, Henry. He doesn't even know that I'm dating anyone. Besides, do you really want to meet my dad when he's with he's with his co-workers?" Emma smirked.
"Why not? It's better now than later." Henry retorted.
"They carry around guns." Emma informed him. "You can talk to him some other time. Right now, I have to go take Agent DiNozzo his pies."
The team was too busy in their conversation about Tony's current pie obsession to notice Emma walk up to them.
"Maybe it's because of that dream you had last week? The one where you dreamt of working at a pie factory!" Abby suggested. Emma laughed, causing them to look at her.
"I'm sorry; I just find it funny that you actually had a dream of working in a pie factory." Emma laughed again. She sat the tray of slices of pie in front of Tony, but not before Tim and Palmer grabbed some.
"Not fair, guys. I've been craving pie since this morning." Tony grumbled.
"Do you think we could get some coffee?" Palmer hoped.
"Yes sir, I can handle that." Emma pulled up a chair and sat down.
"I thought you were going to get us some coffee." Tim reminded her.
"Brynn, I'm taking my break now. Could you bring us nine cups of coffee?" Emma called out. Brynn moved from her spot behind the counter and started muttering. Tim shook his head. "What? I get two breaks a day, and I decided that I'm going to take one now so I can talk to you guys."
"I never said a word." Tim laughed.
"How is the pie, Tony?" Ziva asked Tony, who was currently shoving a piece of peanut butter pie in his face. He tried to talk but the sound was muffled so he held his hand up.
"It's magical." Tony responded after he finished his pie. The team laughed simultaneously.
"Here's your coffee." Brynn handed it out.
"Thank you Brynn-Brynn." Emma smiled.
"You owe me." Brynn muttered, walking away. Tim and Emma both cooled down their coffee by blowing on it in short bursts, the team discovered.
"Why are you staring at me?" Emma demanded, looking up.
"Nothing, it's just that you act a lot like Tim." Abby noted.
"Like father, like daughter." Sarah reminded them.
"You have a very good point, my dear. This reminds me of one of uncles…" Ducky trailed off. Emma laughed and then noticed the song playing.
"This is a good song for this moment." Emma told them. They all stopped and listened to the song, "This could really be a good life"
A/N: I don't own the songs! ("Red High Heels" by Kellie Pickler, "Good Life" by OneRepublic.)
Next chapter should be up soon-ish.
Love, Sarah
