Chapter 3

When the current was finally closed, Ziva, Abby and Kelly met up in front of the NCIS Headquarters: "Nice to know that you're joining our little ladies night too Ziva." Kelly said as she reached her car, that was parked right next to ones of Ziva and Abby. The old blue ford maybe wasn't a beauty but in the end Kelly was glad that her dad had agreed to finance her an own car, before Ziva got into her car she replied: "So I heard that you want to go to the movies, how about we got and watch Cloud Atlas because I heard that's a really cool film."

"I and Maddie wanted to watch the new Twilight because we love the love story between Bella and Edward but we can make a final decision on the film back at Maddie's place." She said to the other two ladies then the three finally parted ways and all followed Kelly to Maddie's house in the south of the city. Back at NCIS Headquarter Gibbs was finishing up some boring case reports, he hated to do all the paper work but because of the regulations at NCIS he had to do it even if all this took a lot of time to get done. "See you tomorrow Boss." Mc Gee said as he finally left the office, Gibbs now was the only where a light still was glowing because most of the personnel had already made their way home. He was really tired after this stressful day, so he put down the pen in his hand for a while and let his thought drift away from work to something else: Kelly, the one person who he had thought was gone forever but all over sudden came back into his life and all of this being like some kind of miracle even if he had thought all these years, that those only happened on Christmas Eve.

Flashback

For a couple of minutes Gibbs just forgot everything around him and tightly hugged his daughter. Gibbs begged that all this wasn't a dream he would wake out from at the any minute, because it felt just so good to hold his only daughter in his arms after all these years, he had thought that he had lost her forever. Ziva, Tony and Mc Gee provided them their private space for the time being, just focused on their work but they all shared one thought with each other: They were really happy for Gibbs to have his daughter back. Finally the two had collected themselves again Gibbs for the first to speak: "You're all grown up now." Kelly as her dad still didn't know what to say, so Kelly just timidly smiled at him.

But then the two finally stepped nearer to the desks of Mc Gee, Ziva and Tony. Gibbs then said: "Tony, Ziva and Mc Gee this is wonderful daughter Kelly." One by one Ziva, Mc Gee and Tony introduced themselves to Kelly before Gibbs ushered them back to their desks to work again.

"Now I'm giving you a little tour around place, I've been working at for the last couple of years." Gibbs said and then with his daughter in tow, he stepped into the elevator and then headed to their first station downstairs: Abby's lab. Loud music was blaring out of a little stereo on a little table when Kelly and her father entered the lab of the Goth scientist. Abby was totally somewhere else with her thoughts that she didn't notice Kelly sneaking up behind her back and said in a deep voice: "Abbs, what do you got for me?" Abbs turned around pretended to wipe sweat away from her forehead and said to a now laughing Gibbs: "That was scary Gibbs, who's our visitor?"

"Abby, meet my daughter Kelly."

End Flashback

He missed her very much right now, but also looked forward to their first Christmas together because in this last years he, Kelly and Hollis had really become a family and he was really happy to have something like this again after all the emotional torture he had to go through after the death of his first wife Shannon. Gibbs finally finished up his report because he didn't want to keep Hollis waiting any longer and he was just looking forward to spend the rest of the evening with her, no matter what they would with the time they had left of the day. The three girls finally arrived at Maddie's place, all were really looking forward to the little ladies night regardless in what movie they decided to go in the end, Maddie all welcomed them into her home, still busy with putting the finishing touches on her outfit for tonight: "I'm done in a minute girls, just have a seat for a bit in the living room while I put the finishing touches on my make up." The ladies all sat down in the living room on the bigger couch next to the TV and anxiously waited for Maddie to join them.

Gibbs and Hollis went to a nice a restaurant in the evening for a little late candle light dinner, both of them had dressed up nicely and Gibbs was stroking Hollis right hand softly the entire time and just kept looking deeply into each other's eyes the whole time, almost acting like freshly fallen in love teenagers.
