DISCLAIMER: I do not own NCIS or any of the characters. This is sad for me. I want them oh so badly. :(

A/N: I know that it has taken me a little longer with this chapter but again I was moving around to different towns. However, I hope that the length of the chapter make up for my absent time here. I am sorry if there are many errors. My computer was being very bad with me and fighting me on everything that I was doing. My spell check was not working and for me that is my life savior. I can not spell worth anything. I apologize ahead of time for that. I hope it is not that bad of a chapter.

WARNINGS: There is mild child spanking in this chapter. Nothing really bad just a couple of smacks. If you don't like you don't really need to read this chapter and just wait for the next one which should be up soon. I promise.


5 years laters..

It was hard to believe that the twins were already going to be turning five. Soon they would be starting school, having more play dates and sleep overs. To Gibbs his little rugrats were growing up.

He had also noticed that Krissy was developing much faster compared to Tony. Hollis and him had brought it up as concern's to the doctor many of times, but the doctor told them to not worry too much about it. He just needs more time.

Krissy was up and walking by 14 months where as Tony didn't walk until just past their 2nd birthday. Now Krissy was speaking perfectly and really couldn't get her to stop talking were as Tony still had a problem with a lot of his words and was having to work hard at his Hooked on Phonics. He was getting much better.

... ... ...

Today was the twins 5th birthday. Gibbs and Hollis had a big day planned with the entire team. Gibbs awoke around 0630 ready to greet the day. He decided he would let Hollis sleep in some this morning considering the events to follow the rest of the day.

He quickly slipped on a pair of jeans and a USMC shirt then ventured down the hall. As he pasted by Krissy's room he peeked in to see his daughter sleeping with her head under the pillow and her butt sticking straight up in the air. He couldn't help by laugh silently. His daughter could sleep in the oddest of position's.

He continued down the hall to Tony's room.

It was just recently that Hollis and Gibbs had decided to clean out the other spare bedroom so Tony and Krissy could each have their own rooms. At first it was very difficult. They would wake up to either Krissy in with Tony or vice verse. With them being twins they knew it would be a lengthy battle. Night before last was the first night they had slept in different beds all night long.

As Gibbs slipped his head inside the door he noticed his son sitting on the floor playing with a couple of his cars. Tony looked up and smiled.

"DADDY!" he got up and charged Gibbs literally jumping into air when he got close enough.

"Good Morning Bud. Did you sleep well?"

Tony nodded his head.

"Tony can you answer daddy?" They were trying to get Tony to use more words then just body gestures.

"Yes daddy, I sleeped in my big boy bed all da night long!"

Gibbs smiled. "Good Boy."

It was then that Gibbs felt his arm a little wet. "Tony did you wet your bed last night?

Unfortunately they were having a very hard time potty training Tony and the fact that he didn't like the big potty at all didn't help when they were out in town. When and if he was willing to go it was only in his little tugboat potty that blew a small whistle if he went.

Tony looked like he was going cry. "I's ssss..oo.. ddd.. I ..eedd up but I's wetttt.." he crushed his face into his daddy's neck.

Gibbs set Tony down on the floor. "Hey Buddy.. Stop crying.. Look at me son."

Tony wiped his nose with his arm and looked up.

"First off. I am not mad. At nighttime sometimes you can not feel if you have to go potty. Me and Mommy understand if you wet the bed. You are working hard at it right Bud?"

"I's triesss really hards."

"That's all daddy wants to hear. Now lets get you out of these wet pants." He quickly stripped off Tony's pants and his night pullup. He got a new one slipped it on and just left him like that. He new Tony would be getting a bath after breakfast anyway so no need to dirty another pair of pants. He also quickly stripped off the wet sheets and threw them in the dirty clothes pile. He would run a load later after breakfast.

"All changed. Now before we go downstairs do you have to go potty?"

"No daddy."

"Are you sure Tony, because if you wet your new pullup daddy will be mad."

"I's sure"

"OK, you ready to help daddy make breakfast for everyone?"

"Sissy nd Mommy needs to not sleep! Its me and sissy birfdays!

"Birthday son with a T.. Remember T? We practiced it with our letters."

"Birf..Birf..Birth.. Birthday!"

"Good job!" Gibbs praised as he picked him up.

"It is your birthday! But we have to make breakfast first. Mommy and Sissy will wake up soon."

They both went downstairs to the kitchen and he set Tony on a chair that he pulled up next to him, while he made coffee. It was not long before Hollis came down, when she smelled the coffee make its way upstairs. She was surprised to see Tony up so early with Jethro, usually he continued sleeping until Krissy got up.

"Good morning sweetheart," Hollis said to Tony as she picked him up off of the chair he was standing on next to his daddy.

She couldn't help but laugh, he was covered all over in flour along with around Jethro's waist. She gave him a questioning glance.

"Tony kept hugging me every time I told him that he got it right."

"Mommy! We's making pancakes!"

"Yes I can see that, my question is how much is making it to the pan?" she grabbed a wash cloth and wet it so she could at least wipe Tony's face.

"Mommy I's a big boy now! I clean my own face!"

"Oh really? When did you get to be a big boy." she winked up at Jethro when he turned to put a plate of pancakes on the table.

"Today! A'cause it's my birfhday.. wait im mean Bir.t.h..day." he sounded out.

"Good job on sounding out your word sweetie. And you are right today is you and Krissy's birthday. Can you tell Mommy how old you are?"

"You not memeber?" Tony looked confused. His mommy should know how old he was.

"Off course she remembers Big guy." Gibbs took him from Hollis to set him up on the counter. He pulled Tony's flour covered shirt off.

"Whys Mommy ask me?"

"Because I want to hear my big boy tell me, because he is so smart!"

Tony smiled. He liked when his mommy and daddy thought he was smart.

"I's 5 mommy! See I's a big boy!"

Gibbs handed the wet wash cloth to Tony.

"Here Tony, why don't you wipe yourself off like a big boy while I go get your sister so we can eat."

"OK daddy" he got to work cleaning himself the best he could.

"You are doing a great job sweetie."

"I need's a little help mommy."

"Of course sweetheart, even big boys need help."

"They do? Daddy doesn't need help?"

"Daddy does need help sometimes. I help your daddy with his ties when we go to church on Sunday's and I also help your daddy cut his hair!"

"You do?"

"Yep I sure do? Now how about we get you seated at the table. Daddy will be down shortly so we can eat."

... ... ... ...

Meanwhile

Gibbs had gone upstairs after leaving Tony to clean up. He entered his daughter's room to see her with her butt still up in the air. He went over and sat of the edge of her bed.

"Krissy, princess? Can you wake up for Daddy?"

"Noooo Daddy.. I want to sleep more."

Gibbs rolled his eyes. Bad habits were already starting, God forbid when she became a teenager. She was going to be one spitfire, just like her daddy.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but you have to get up? Today is a big day."

Krissy turned over to look up at her daddy.

"I don't want it to be my birthday daddy."

Gibbs looked confused. Every kid loved their birthday. Birthdays meant presents and ice cream and cake. Plus lots of people all their just for them.

"Why not sweetheart. Tony is very excited about turning 5 today."

"Because 5 means I will have to go to school. I don't like school, I just want to stay at home with brother. I will not go to school."

Gibbs smirked at his little girl. He took it back she was a spitfire now.

"Krissy you are not starting school today. And plus when you do go to school it will be fun because you will get to see all of your friends, all day."

Krissy looked at her daddy as if she was not convinced but gave up.

"OK. I am hungry, what is for breakfast?"

Gibbs laughed. "We are having Pancakes."

"I love Pancakes!" Krissy jumped out of bed and ran for the stairs. She got just a couple of stairs down before she heard her daddy call her name.

"Kristen..." Gibbs said in a stern voice.

Krissy came back up and stood in-front of her father.

"Yes daddy?" she said looking down at her toes.

"What has mommy and daddy told you about running in the house?"

"That I am only allowed to run outside in the yard. If I run in the house I could get hurt or break something."

"That's right."

"I'm sorry Daddy."

"You are not in trouble this time. Now, do you need to go potty before going downstairs?"

Krissy nodded and walked into the bathroom. Since her daddy was there he helped her sit on the big potty instead of her small one.

Even though Krissy was advancing faster then Tony, both Krissy and Tony were very short for their age and still looked like they should be 2. Another thing the doctor said should be fine for now. They will soon get a growth spurt.

Soon they were downstairs heading into the kitchen.

"Daddy you's are back! Now we's can eat."

Gibbs placed Krissy in her booster seat next to Hollis while Gibbs went to sit next to Tony.

"Now we can eat Tony." Gibbs said as he place a pancake on his plate with a little bit of syrup. Hollis did the same thing with Krissy.

... ... ... ...

"TIMMY!" Abby yelled, as she looked up at the clock. They were due at the Gibbs household in three hours and she still did not have her present ready.

"Abby you don't have to yell, I was coming."

"I'm sorry Timmy, I just am really excited. 5 Tim, they are turning 5!"

"I know Abbs. I know.. Who can forget between you and Tony." Tim chuckled.

"I need my presents to be ready Timmy." Abby whined

"Abby stop the whining. They will be ready."

Tim took the toys from Abby and went in search of a fairly large bags to put them in.

... ... ... ... ... ...

Ziva was over at Kate's helping wrap up the Twin's presents.

"Kate, are you sure what I got them is OK?"

"Ziva, you bought Krissy a Disney Princess Doll and Tony a remote control Monster Truck. I'm sure they will love it."

"Thank you Kate."

... ... ... ... ... ...

Both Tony and Krissy had, had their baths and were all dressed pretty ready for their party.

"DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!.." Tony yelled from his bedroom.

"Anthony Dominic! We do not yell to get Daddy's attention. If you yell again I am going to put you in a corner."

"Daddy I can't find my shoes!"

"Then you come and ask either me or mommy nicely. Do not yell."

"Yes Daddy. Please can you help me find my shoes."

"Yes."

After about twenty five minutes of searching they finally found his shoes shoved deep under his bed.

"Tony tomorrow you really need to clean your room."

"Yes Daddy."

Krissy was sitting downstairs waiting anxiously by the back door waiting for her daddy to come back downstairs with Tony. When he came around the corner, she jump up off the chair.

"Daddy! Can me and Tony got outside and play? Please!"

Gibbs looked down at Tony then over at Krissy. They both had on their best clothes ready for pictures this afternoon and the party.

"I don't think that would be a good idea sweetie. You might get your clothes all dirty then you would not look good for your party later."

Krissy put on her best puppy dog eyes.

"Please daddy. I promise that I will not get dirty. I will be a good girl. And brother will be a good boy. Right brother?"

Tony looked up at his dad. He didn't want to make a promise that he didn't know if he could keep, but with how excited his sister looked he decided that he would do it.

"Ya daddy. I will be a good boy."

"OK. You both may go play. But DO NOT get your clothes dirty."

"We won't daddy" they chimed in unison.

Gibbs turned to head back upstairs to where Hollis was finishing up getting ready herself.

"Where are the kids?" Hollis asked as he walked past her into the bathroom to start the shower for himself.

"They are in the backyard playing." he said while getting in.

Hollis was about to say something when Gibbs popped his head out from the shower curtain.

"With strict instructions to not get their clothes dirty."

Hollis smiled walked over and gave him a Kiss. She continued getting ready when she heard yelling and crying coming from the kitchen. She hurried downstairs.

"STOP IT! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tony yelled at Krissy

"NO, YOU DID IT!"

"What is going on in here?" Hollis exclaimed when she got into the kitchen. The site before her made her jaw drop. Tony's right sleeve was torn almost completely off and he was covered in dirt. Krissy's skirt was ripped and her shirt was also covered in dirt.

"Tony did it!" Krissy proclaimed as she pointed to him

Tony looked at his sister frantic, then to his mommy.

"I did's not! You's were mad's a'cause I did not's want's to play house with you! You's called me a baby A' cause of the way I talk!." he turned to his mom, "Krissy pushd'ed me and I fall's into your flower garden mommy. So I got's up and pushs'ed her back. She is mean mommy. I do not's want to have a birthday with her."

"I DID NOT! YOU LIE! We are not suppose to lie Tony."

"I AM NOT LIEING!"

Gibbs had just finished his shower when he heard all the yelling downstairs. He took a deep breath before slipping on some pants and headed down the stairs.

By the time Gibbs had gotten to the kitchen, all he saw was Hollis trying to pull Tony off of Krissy, while Tony was trying to throw punches at his sister, who was yelling and trying to punch back.

Gibbs wasted no time, he picked Tony up off his sister and applied a sharp swat to his rear end. This made Tony stop immediately. He instantly burst into tears.

"Tony you will go to your corner in the living room right now and do not move."

As he was dealing with Tony, Krissy made it her move to stand behind her mother and look as innocent as possible. However, Gibbs noticed. "Kristen Kelly Gibbs. Come here right now."

When she got into reach he grabbed her and spun her around landed and equally sharp swat to her rear end.

"You will go stand in your corner here in the kitchen right now and do not move."

With both kids in the respect places Gibbs sighed and looked over at Hollis. This was not the first time that they have fought. Gibbs was really getting tired of their sibling squabbles. Weren't twins suppose to be nicer with each other, something about a close bond? He walked over and kissed Hollis on the forehead. Hollis then continued to inform Gibbs of what went down before his arrival.

"Can you stay in here while I take care of Tony first?"

Hollis nodded and went to get a broom to clean up the dirt that was now all over the kitchen floor.

Gibbs made his way into the living room and sat on the couch. Tony was standing in the corner, with his shoulder shaking up and down from his crying.

"Tony, you may come out now."

Tony turned around and walked over to his father.

"Daddy I's sorry!" he started crying again, mostly because he knew he was in trouble.

"Tony, how many times have I told you that when you are mad you do not hit or push people?"

"But daddy she pushd'ed me first!"

"I don't care who pushed who first. You also were hitting your sister in the kitchen when I came in. What if you would of hit mommy instead of sister?"

"I would's be sad a'cause I hurted mommy.

"That's right. Now I think it is time that you went up to your room. I will be up in a minute."

"Daddy ple..e...e..se nn...o.o. I am Soo...y."

"I know that you are sorry, but I specifically told you not to get dirty, look at yourself Anthony. Daddy is also very tired of you and your sister fighting like this all the time."

Tony looked down at himself and started to cry again.

"Daddy. I didn't means to gets dirty."

"We will talk about it more when I come up to your room. Now go young man."

Tony strode over to the staircase before looking back over at his dad, then into the kitchen where he saw his sister standing in the corner. Why did she always have to ruin things for them. It was her fault and here he was about to be punished for it. He hated his sister so much right now. He continued up the stairs, to his room and sat on his bed awaiting his dads return. He knew better then to argue with him.

Gibbs ventured into the kitchen where he found Krissy standing in the corner like she was told. She had a tear streaked face. He pulled out a kitchen chair and called her over as he sat down.

Krissy looked over at her daddy and could see the slight anger in his eyes. She then turned to look at her mommy who was leaning against the counter.

"I'm sorry mommy and daddy. Please don't be mad at me."

Gibbs had to hide back the smile he wanted to give her. She looked so innocent with those big eyes. Hollis just looked between her daughter and husband.

"Krissy what did I tell you before you went outside to play with your brother?"

Krissy looked down at her shoes. She didn't like be in trouble. This was all Tony's fault. Why does he have to be so annoying. Mommy and Daddy always favored him because he couldn't talk right. She was smarter she should be the favorite.

"Krissy, answer your father when he is speaking to you."

Krissy looked up at her father, he looked even madder now.

"You said that me and brother were not to get dirty while we were playing outside."

"That's right. Now do you look clean?"

Krissy began to tear up then started screaming.

"It's all Tony's fault Daddy! He is soo mean!"

"Krissy stop it right this second or I will spank you right here right now."

Krissy looked over to her mommy as if asking for help.

"This is not fair!" she screamed even louder

Gibbs did not take any more of this. He spun her around tipped her over his knee and landed 5 hard swats to her backside. Krissy screamed and hollered while kicking her legs. Her Daddy's hand hurt so much!

"Now Krissy you will go to your room until either your mommy or I come and get you. Do I make myself clear?"

Krissy was bouncing up and down still crying really hard, trying to rub the sting out of her bottom.

"Yes Daddy.."

Krissy walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs. She wanted to slam her door but decided against it. Her bottom hurt enough as it was.

Tony listened from his bed. Krissy was crying really loud. Daddy must have already spanked her. He started crying again. That would mean he would be next.

Gibbs ran his hands through his hair. This was not how he expected this day to pursue. He looked over at Hollis and sighed. He was right, his kids were growing up and getting into more and more trouble.

"Oh Hollis, do you think I was too hard on her?"

"Jethro, if I thought that you were making a wrong decision I would have stopped you a long time ago. Now I believe that there is one more small one that needs your attention."

Gibbs smiled up at her and headed for the stairs. He knew that Tony would be waiting for him on the bed, but decided that he needed to finish with Krissy first. He went straight to her bedroom door and knocked lightly before opening the door. He found his daughter lying on her tummy crying into her pillow. He walked over to her bed and sat down.

"Krissy sweetheart, can you sit up and look at Daddy?"

"No Daddy my bottom hurts. I can not sit."

Gibbs gently picked her up and positioned her on his lap in a way that it would not hurt so bad.

"Now you know that Daddy does not like spanking you, but you need to learn that when I say something I don't like you arguing with me."

"Yes daddy, I am sorry" she leaned into his chest.

Gibbs wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you Krissy"

"I love you too Daddy."

"Now I want you to go straight downstairs and apologize to your mother and sit at the table till I come back down."

"OK daddy"

Gibbs and Krissy exited her room, Krissy continued down the stairs and Gibbs went over to Tony's room. Without knocking he walked in. Tony was sitting on his bed looking down at his shoes. He looked up briefly when his daddy walked in.

"Tony stand up please."

Tony did as he was told and Gibbs took his place on the bed. He pulled Tony to where he was standing in-between his legs.

"Tony, why are you gonna receive this spanking?"

"A'cause I was means to sister ands a'cause we's dids not listens to yous."

"That's right. When I tell you to do something I expect you and your sister to listen to me."

Gibbs grabbed Tony and positioned him over his knee. He didn't wait before landing the first smack. Tony cried really hard. He followed with the last four smacks without stopping. He set his son up on his lap.

"Tony I love you and your sister very much. I just want you to listen to me when I tell you something.

"Yes Daddy." Tony sniffed

Gibbs gave Tony a big hug then set him down and told him to go across to the bathroom. He walked to their bedroom and grabbed one of Tony's pullup's. When he got to the bathroom he found Tony sitting on his little potty.

"Good job son! Now if we could only get you to use the big potty we would be on a roll."

Tony giggled while his daddy helped him clean up and put him in his fresh pull up. He send Tony downstairs to apologize to his mother and to sit with his sister at the table, with strict orders to not start anything.

Hollis was preparing a variety of salads when Tony walked into the kitchen. He walked over to his mommy and cleared his throat. Hollis looked down and could see were the tears had been running down her sons little face.

"Yes sweetie?" she said as she bent down to his level.

"Mommys. I's sorry for nots listening too yous." Tony looked down at his shoes.

"Oh sweetie, all is forgiven, now who would you like to play some play-doh at the table with his sister?

Tony smiled and went to sit in the seat that his daddy told him to. He looked over at Krissy who was building what looked like a heart but he couldn't tell.

"Mommy can I have blue and green play-doh?"

"Sure sweetie."

Just as Hollis was about to give Tony his play-doh Gibbs came into the kitchen fully dressed for the day. He looked at Hollis then to the kids.

"Tony, Krissy please come here."

They both looked over at their daddy and frowned; However, obeyed their order.

"I want you both to apologize to each other. There will be no more fighting between you two in this house. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes daddy." they said at the same time.

"Good now each of you say your sorry to each other."

Tony looked over at her sister and was the first to start.

"I's sorry sister. I shoulds not have tried to punch yous."

"It's OK brother. I am sorry for making fun of you. You were right to be mad at me."

They both smiled at each other and gave one another a big hug. Both Gibbs and Hollis smiled down at their children. Sometimes they were a handful but they were good where it counted. However, Gibbs could not shake the feeling that there was still more to come as the day progressed into the party. For now he would just enjoy his family.
