Disclaimer : I don't own anything , except for Liz!

- Director, Agent Gibbs just called. He said he had someone for you to meet and asked if you were available?

She couldn't believe her eyes…had Leroy Jethro Gibbs asked if she was available? He was so getting married again, and now she was going to have to meet his wife – to – be and sadly enough it wasn't her.

- Yes I'm fine , you can send him in!

Chapter 2 :

The door opened slowly and Jethro appeared with behind his back not a redhead but someone who looked rather familiar to her. When she looked back at Gibbs she could see why , the girl looked like she could be his daughter.

- Uh…Hi Director! I would like you to meet Elisabeth James Gibbs.

- Nobody calls me Elisabeth anymore uncle Jet, it's just Liz ma'am.

- Hi! Jethro …she isn't your….

- Daughter? Theoretically …no but I sure raised her as my own. If you sit down we will tell you the story?

She thought he looked rather unsure, as if he had doubts but that couldn't be, could it?

- Uhm, Sure!

The three of them went to sit, Jenny behind her desk , Liz and Jethro in front of it. Jenny found herself having a hard time tearing her eyes from the girl, she was so like him!

- See, Liz here is theoretically my niece, she was the only daughter of my twin brother Frederick.

- Your twin brother Jethro?

- Yes and don't look at me like that. We never really got too the part were we met each other's family did we?

- I guess not but you never mentioned him after I became Director here.

* That's because my dad died 6 years ago. Around the same time my uncle here returned from Paris my mum and dad died in a car accident.

- Oh God, I'm so sorry that's awful. Jethro you could've told me!

- I could, but I didn't. When he died we weren't speaking and our relationship now is nothing more than Director and Agent, so it wasn't really important.

- It is important Jethro! But this is not the time nor the place to talk about that. Tell me what happened after that please?

- In his will my brother wrote me down as legal guardian if anything would've happened to them. So by the time Liz was 16 she came to live with me. After 2 years , long before you became Director she left for college. She graduated a month ago and is living with me again. I just thought it would be hard hiding that I have someone living with me, and I wouldn't want you guys to draw the wrong conclusions so I figured it was time for you two to meet….as my friend Jenny not as the Director.

- I don't know what to say, I expected you to marry again not to tell me you raised a child without me knowing it.

She didn't said that out loud did she? But the look on his face told her she did.

- You expected me to marry…again? Come on Jen, I might look stupid but after four times even I know I better don't marry at all. What made you think that anyway?

- I … I don't know, I guess I drew the wrong conclusion. But I'm glad you told me although I'm a bit overwhelmed.

- We figured you might. I guess you know my uncle better than me since you knew him when he was younger. He told me so much about you that I wanted to meet you. I mean you are the first female Director of an armed federal agency!

- Well I did had the best teacher! By the way I had a lot of luck along the way as well.

She couldn't help but like the girl, since she loved her uncle and she looked so much like him. She even had that arrogant undertone in her voice she loved in Jethro's voice.

- Ok girls before you two go chatting away and I can't stop your babbling anymore we would like you to invite you for dinner this evening, I'm inviting the team as well. It's a welcome back dinner for Liz here. Watcha think?

- yeah of course I'll be there, what time shall I come?

- What about 7pm?

- Sounds good! See you two tonight then!

Together they walked down in direction of the bullpen under the priming eyes of Dinozzo, who was more than curious about the gorgeous blonde walking behind his boss.

- Hi Boss!

A hand connected with the back of his hand faster than he could see.

- Don't be so enthusiastic Dinozzo! And get Abby and Ducky up here…fast!

- Sure thing boss, I'm already on my way!

When they arrived and Ziva and McGee had joined the group Jethro told the story again and asked them if they came over for dinner. After a few minutes of shock, Abby was the first to jump up :

- Sure thing Boss! Oh I'm gonna love this.

She turned over to Liz with a big smile on her face.

- This is going to be so great! I wanna know every dirty story about My Grey Haired fox there is! Have you got some sappy stories?

-Oh I got more sappy stories than I will be able to tell on one evening Abby!

- Ok Ok that's enough guys, see you all at 7 pm, and you (pointing at Liz) we are going shopping!
