DISCLAIIMER:

SUMMARY:

This story picks up just a little over four years after the end of...
The Disappearance Of, McGee.

Sarah and Annie are involved in a car accident...Annie seems to be okay, but what about, Sarah?

CHAPTER 9: ONE YEAR LATER...

SARAH'S GRAVE...

ONE YEAR LATER...

Nine-year-old Annie was the first to reach her mother's grave.

Her Uncle Tim...
Aunt Abby...
Her cousins, Megan, (Now four and a half years old) and Ryan, (Who is now 1 1/2)...
Her grandma McGee and Grandpa McGee.

No one could believe that how fast the last year had gone by, for a few minutes the family just stood there in silence.

No one seemed to know what to say and they all seemed to be remembering, Sarah.

It was September 24th and kind of cold.

Annie was continuing to see her doctor and the nightmares were stopping, replaced by happier dreams of her mother.

One dream she had was of her, her mother and her father and if they had not died. How she imagined life would have been like.

She also dreamed of her father, though she didn't really remember him. She had seen plenty of pictures and heard stories from her mother about him.

Not long after her father's death and her mother had been found. Annie had met her father's parents who told her stories about him.

So now, she heard stories about both of her parents.

Years ago, just after Annie and her mother moved into the apartment building that had been her Aunt Abby and Uncle Tim's. Her mother pulled out a photo album that had been hidden.

It had been hidden to keep her and her mother safe, because of someone being after her mother. (Sarah.)

The photo album held pictures of Annie as a newborn, her mother holding her, pictures of her father holding her and a lot of other memories of her family, before her father had been killed.

Tonight Uncle Tim, Aunt Abby, her cousins, her mother's parents and even her father's parents would be getting together with...

Ducky...

Breena and Jimmy Palmer (Who in just four months would be having a baby. Though they had decided not to find out if it was a boy or girl.)...

Tony, Ziva, Lucas and Jenny (who had turned four toward the beginning of next year)

They would all be meeting at Gibbs house. Annie was happy that though she had lost her mom and dad she still had her HUGE family.

Even though when Ryan was born and Annie came to live with them, they had all moved into a four-bedroom house. Ryan, Megan and Annie each had their own rooms. Then the master bedroom.

Annie every day at school saw Cassie, Calvin and Ethan. Ethan, Cassie and Calvin had started to pick up on the sign language, which made it easier to communicate.

She also had other friends at school.

Aunt Abby had been right when she had promised things would get better.

Lucas was really his father's son and acted just like him a lot of the time.

Jenny had once again started to become outgoing, as she had been before Sarah had died. However, she never played pranks or acted like her father and twin brother.

Her Cousin Megan was kind of quiet when she first met someone, but then once she got to know them...she would become just as outgoing as her mother.

Her Cousin Ryan's personality was beginning to form and he too was beginning to take after both his parents.

Megan, Lucas and Jenny were inseparable. Annie loved to hang out with them as well and instead of the three musketeers, there were five.

Because after all Annie, Megan, Lucas and Jenny, always had Ryan with them.

For now, Ryan was the youngest of the family until baby Palmer would arrive.
