NCIS, FIVE YEARS LATER

Tali walked into NCIS with a toddler on her hip, she was carrying a bag. "Do you go Hannah." She set her three year old daughter down and the three year old picked up her dry-erase markers and began to draw on the board that was pinned to the wall by her mother's desk.

"Mommy, where is Daddy?" Hannah looked at Tali and she smiled.

"Where do you think?"

"With Aunt Abby, can I go please?" The three year old held her hands together and Tali nodded, Hannah ran towards the elevator.

"Hannah Marie McGee, slow down." Hannah was caught by Gibbs who picked her up and swung her in the air. "Thank you Papa."

"Where are you going Marine?" Gibbs put Hannah down and she snapped to attention as she had been taught to do with her grandfather.

"I am going to see Aunt Abby sir, may I be dismissed sir?" She looked at him and he nodded, she ran.

"Hey, walk."

"Yes Grandpa." She began to walk and Gibbs chuckled, he looked at Tali.

Tali put up a bag, "Christmas and Chanukah shopping…it is Hannah's year to light the Menorah."

"I'm sure Davidah and Shiloh are happy about that."

"Vidah and Shy are just being themselves; I however am worried about Ziva."

"Who isn't, what is it this time?"

Tali chuckled and looked at her father, "she's pregnant again, four in five years…I worry about them."

"Well Tali, they could be going for a record, in the end there maybe ten DiNozzos running around that house. I'm just glad to have you and Ziva and my grandkids."

"And Mama?"

Gibbs sighed and rolled his eyes, that was one discussion he hated having with his daughters…his wife.

"I love her Tali, let's leave it at that."

Tali folded her arms, giving him the stare she had learned from him. "Alright so I love her enough to jump ship to find her and drag her back."

"And?"

"And if something happened, I'd probably become a hermit."

Tali smiled and put a hand on her father's shoulder, "good, you understand. Where is Mama anyways?"

"Right here, with three DiNozzos."

"Colonel Mann, good to see you again." Vance came in the room and Hollis Mann-Gibbs rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry, an old habit…how are you Hollis?"

"Ziva and Tony dropped these three off," she looked at her grandchildren, her granddaughters were four and three and her grandson was just under fourteen months. "They had an appointment to go to."

"Another, do those two plan to stop?" Vance rolled his eyes and walked through, tickling Shiloh and Davidah, both giggled.

"I don't know, but NCIS should be named DOC instead of NCIS."

Vance nodded, "why that."

Hollis and Gibbs looked at each other, "Department of Children."

Screams erupted and two kids came running in, both blond unlike the others who were brunette due to Israeli genes. They stopped when Hollis and Gibbs eyed them, Hollis took them by the arms and looked at them. "Caitlin Abigail Gibbs and Leroy Jethro Gibbs Jr., if I hear that scream again I will send you into the Marines years ahead of time."

"We want the Army." The Gibbs twins, both four eyed their mother.

"Of course you do, go downstairs to Aunt Abby…now. You three too." Vidah took her brother and headed down with the other kids. "We seriously need a classroom here…Tali you can teach them right?"

"I am good at people and children, of course."

Vance nodded, "effective immediately…NCIS School in one of the unused conference room. I'll get the materials."

Gibbs sighed and looked at his wife and daughter, "why can't this been NCIS, we search and solve crimes not corral kids. Damn, this place has gone to hell in back. I'm going for coffee."

Tali and Hollis looked at each other, Tali spoke. "Some things never change."

"Hope, still the same old Gibbs…coffee-holic."
