As Thanksgiving approached the team and everyone made plans to spend it at Ducky's. Jackson was coming to town for Thanksgiving as he invited Gibbs and Tony but with the twins they wanted to stay in DC. Ducky also offered to put Jackson up for the weekend making Gibbs weary, "That's a great offer Duck but …"
Ducky looks at him, "Where do you plan to put him? Hanging from a hammock in your basement Mike stayed in? Your body wouldn't do any good there either and Anthony can't be that far from the kids. Your father and I got along splendidly when he's visited before and he wants to help with making the dinner."
Gibbs sighs, "Okay, I just wanted you to know you don't have to take him in. I could take the couch and he could take my bed."
Ducky nods, "You only sleep in your own bed so the twins won't think there's something strange. Does your father know about Samantha and Jonathan?"
Gibbs nods, "Yes he does. I'm sure he wouldn't miss two three year olds running around calling Tony daddy. So we're at 10 for dinner?"
Ducky shakes his head, "12 actually. I thought Ms. Benoit might like to spend the day with the children and a friend asked to join."
Gibbs smiles, "That is good and I'm sure she would. I should go up and tell the guys they can head home. The day care's closing early for the holiday and Agent Conrad's team is on call so there's no need to delay our leave any longer."
In the bullpen Tony, Ziva and McGee were all eagerly waiting to go home as were Johnny and Sami that were already there. "Uncle Gibbs, can we go home yet? Sami's going with Doda Ziva and daddy said we're going to do something special too."
Gibbs smiles, "Sure, what are Doda Ziva and Sami going to do?"
Ziva smiles, "I promised to start showing her how to play the piano today and we're going to go shopping for something to wear Thursday before her and Aunt Abby help me to make pies."
Tony nods, "Johnny and I are going to go shopping and then do a special project for Thanksgiving."
Gibbs smiles, "Okay, sounds like fun. I have some time to kill before dad gets here."
Sami looks at him, "Where is your daddy?"
"He's in a far off place called Stillwater and he's coming for Thanksgiving."
Johnny's eyes light up, "Is he flying here? Can I go with you to pick him up? I like seeing the planes."
Gibbs looks at Tony who nods, "Sure Johnny you can come before you and daddy go shopping."
Sami looks jealous and Ziva smiles, "Would you like to go too sweetie?"
She nods and Gibbs smiles, "Do you mind Tony?"
Tony shakes his head, "No you can take my car if you want. The car seats already installed and there's still room."
Gibbs nods, "Okay,"
Later at the airport they got a snack while waiting for Jackson, "Uncle Gibbs, if he's your daddy and you're our Uncle does that make him our Grandpa?"
Gibbs thinks about it, "No not really but he might let you call him Grandpa. I told him about you two and he's eager to meet you both."
They think about it and when they're done with their snacks Jackson's plane has arrived and they wait watching the planes. "Did he fly the plane by himself? It's a big plane."
Sami nods, "That would be scary to fly a big plane."
Johnny shakes his head, "I want to fly planes when I'm big like 16."
Gibbs chuckles, "Both of you can do whatever you want to when you get big. But no my dad didn't fly the plane."
Johnny thinks about it, "Then how did it get here?"
They didn't see Jackson there, "There are special people who fly the planes for us."
Gibbs smiles, "Hi dad, I'm glad you came."
Jackson hugs him as the kids hide behind his legs, "It's good to see you Jethro. I take it these are the fearsome twosome you told me about?" Sami and Johnny hide behind Gibbs' legs. "Hi, I'm Jackson and I'm Jethro's daddy."
Sami looks at Gibbs, "I thought he was your daddy."
Gibbs smiles, "He is but he calls me Jethro. My name is Jethro Gibbs." They think about this and Gibbs saw Jackson was confused. "Everyone else calls me Gibbs so they call me Uncle Gibbs."
Johnny pulls on his pants leg, "Can I still call you Uncle Gibbs?"
"Of course you can Johnny. Let's help … him with his luggage so we can go meet daddy and Doda."
Now Jackson was more confuse, "Is Doda something they call their mom?"
Sami shakes her head, "Uh uh she's kind of like Aunt Abby but she said her name's Doda Ziva."
Jackson smiles, "Oh that's Doda, okay."
Gibbs smiles, "They were going with Doda Ziva and daddy for a couple of hours but then they found I was coming to the airport and they wanted to come along."
Back at the house Jackson takes down his carryon bag and they start climbing all over him, "Hey guys, be careful. Uncle Jackson isn't like daddy you can't jump all over him."
Jackson smiles, "Uncle Jackson?"
Tony shrugs, "Would you prefer Mr. Gibbs? Their mama taught them to be respectful of people. If it's not Aunt, Uncle or doda then it's Mr. or Ms."
Sami nods, "We asked Uncle Gibbs if he's our uncle and you're his daddy does that mean you're our grandpa but he said not really."
Jackson looks at Tony who smiles happy they will have a grandpa of sorts if they want, "Well I guess technically that would make me your grandpa if you would like one." They nod and Jackson hugs them. "Okay then you can call me Grandpa or Grandpa Jack."
They hug him before taking off with Ziva who changed the plans for the afternoon so they could all go out to dinner that night. At the stores Sami had fun trying on dresses and showing off for Ziva and Abby who joins them. "She likes this white one but I don't know if she can keep it clean."
Abby shakes her head, "She's three though she would look adorable in white."
Ziva nods, "She would but we have already picked out four different dresses and …" Sami starts crying and they rush to her, "What is wrong sweetie? Did you get hurt?"
Sami shakes her head, "Uh uh … I want my daddy."
Abby kneels by her, "We can call her but what happened?" She gives Sami a hug and realizes the problem. "It's okay Sami, it was just an accident okay?"
Sami nods and Ziva was confused, "What happened? Are you okay?"
Abby takes Sami's hand, "She had an accident but it's okay because we'll just get you some clothes to wear today okay?" Sami nods and Ziva notices the puddle, "Why don't you two go pick out an outfit while I get this cleaned up."
The saleslady gets some paper towels, "This happens all the time when kids get excited and that's why the carpet is so dark, no stains. There are courtesy diapers at the front desk."
Sami and Ziva had returned, "Nooooooooooo! I'm not a baby and I don't wear diapers anymore."
The sales lady sighs, "It's just a suggestion. If she's still having accidents then might I suggest some pull ups?"
Abby frowns at her, "She was just over excited and we forgot to see if she needed to go."
Ziva nods, "Let us go somewhere else. I already paid for the clothes and we can change her somewhere else."
When they were changing her Sami couldn't stop crying, "I wanna go home with daddy and Johnny. I'm not a baby and I don't want to stay."
Abby had been texting Tony to tell him what happened, "Daddy said you can go home if you want but to remind you we're still going to go make pies. You can call him and then help with the pies or we'll take you home."
Sami sniffs, "I'm not a baby,"
Ziva hugs her, "Of course you're not Samibean. That lady did not know what she was talking about. You are a big girl and anyone can see that."
Sami sniffs, "But now I don't have new clothes to wear tomorrow and mama's supposed to come too."
Abby smiles, "Well we can still shop for a new dress for you for tomorrow since there's enough time."
This cheers Sami up and after a quick call to Tony to tell him she wanted to make pies still they go shopping. At another children's store they had a dress Sami instantly fell in love with, "I love this one, can I get it please?" It was red with a white sash and white hat to match.
Ziva nods, "Sure, we just need to get you shoes and tights to match. Then you will be set for tomorrow."
Sami was exhausted when they took her home after having McDonalds for dinner since Ziva and Abby were having too much fun with her. "Were there any more crisis?"
Ziva shakes her head, "No, she's upset at that lady at the first store but she'll be fine. Here's her dress, shoes, tights, hat and a matching purse."
Tony was surprised by this, "You didn't have to buy all of that. She has shoes and …"
Abby rolls her eyes, "Do you want me to come by and dress her in the morning? She wanted to look nice for Jeanne."
Tony shakes his head, "She's coming over in the morning to spend time with them and get them ready. Gibbs is going to pick her up in the morning as a surprise for them. How much do I owe you?"
Ziva shakes her head, "Nothing it was a lot of fun." They say their goodnights and then leave Tony to get the kids to bed. They were excited to wear new clothes and see Jeanne the next day while exhausted. It only took one story to get them to fall asleep and Tony didn't even have to finish reading it before he heads downstairs after insisting to both Jackson and Gibbs he could take the couch leaving Jackson his room. Jackson while he liked Ducky didn't want to intrude in his house. Gibbs was going to drop him off at Ducky's before picking up Jeanne to spend the day with the kids.
A/N: This takes place Season 8. Tony found out about Sami and Johnny right before Halloween. Only making it that early so we could have some cute holiday's before the drama starts :D Oh and about my poll in the previous chapter I have come to a decision about it but you'll just have to wait and see :)
