CHAPTER 9: Meeting the Team

The Gibbs family stood in the elevator waiting for their stop up at the Major Crimes floor in the Navy Yard. Tony and Tim were adamantly discussing where they wanted to go once they got up there.

"I want to go see the big computer room again. Oh dad can we?" asked Tim

"Sure, but first I need to sign some stuff for Kate alright?" Said Gibbs

"Ohh Kate! That's what I wanna be like Senior Field Agent!" said Tony

"I wanna go down to see Mandy in her lab. I loveee forensics!" said Abby bouncing up and down excitedly

"Where do you want to go Ziva?" asked Tony

"Ummm… I'm not sure" said Ziva

"OH my gosh I forgot you haven't been here! Okay we could give you a tour while mom and dad are working. Does that sound okay?" Tony asked. Ziva smiled slightly at this. She was still unsure about being in a new environment, no one would know who she was and it was obvious that she was not really a part of their family.

"What's wrong Ziver?" Gibbs asked. Ziva looked at him uncertainly and then when he gave her a nod she said

"It's I don't like new places. They tend to put me on the line."

"On edge Ziva" said Tony

"Yes that…well I don't like meeting new people really, I mean until I can see what they are like first."

"Well Ziva, when we get up there I'll introduce you to my team, and you don't have to talk to them right away, but I would like you to make an effort with them, their…extended family" Gibbs said. "And then after, you, Tony, Tim and Abby can go explore the building, Tony, knows the areas you're allowed to go, and that way you can feel more comfortable here okay?"

"Okay. Thank you...Gibbs"

Just then the elevator stopped on their level and the little family hopped off of the elevator.

"Jethro, I'm going up to my office" said Jenny

"Alright see you later Jen" he said and made his way over to where his team was, with his four kids following behind him.

"Hey guys!" Gibbs said. And immediately his team, Kate, Jacob and Daniel all looked up from their work. (AN: Kate is senior field agent so she sits where Tony does in the TV show, Jacob is where McGee normally sits and Daniel sits where Ziva does).

"Morning Boss"

"Hi Boss"

"What are you doing here boss?" asked Daniel

"Director Shepard needed to get something done, and Kate needed me to sign some stuff, and of course the kids wanted to come in and say hi. (AN: again sorry, Gibbs is not off work, he just took a week off while adjusting with adopting Ziva… same with Jenny).

"Hiya Kate" said Tony

"Hey Tonnnny! How's it goin?" asked Kate

"It's good, we got a new sister…and she's a year younger then me."

The entire team looked up at Gibbs in surprise; they were unaware of Ziva being adopted.

"Kate, Jacob, Daniel; meet Ziva, Ziva, meet my team." Gibbs looked at Ziva who was standing their silently looking at each of them.

"Hey Ziva I'm Kate, Senior Field Agent…Over there" she said pointing to Jacob "is Jacob and there" she said pointing to the last person "is Daniel."

Ziva nodded at each of them and then looked up at Gibbs. Gibbs sighed and then moved over to his seat to start signing the papers Kate needed. Ziva followed him, where as Tony, Tim and Abby started talking with the three Agents...

"Why won't you talk to them Ziver?" Gibbs asked in a whisper that only she would hear

I told you I want to observe first, get a read on them. That's how we did things at Mossad.

Gibbs sighed again, he knew trust wouldn't be easy with her because of how she was raised, but he wished she could see that she was not going to be in any danger here, and that people were going to accept her, if she was just open with people and talked to them, instead of hiding in her solitude.

"Well you're gonna have to talk to them at some point Ziver"

Why?

"Because we bring you guys into NCIS a lot"

Oh… well I will, I just want to get a better read off of them first, like I said.

Gibbs knew she wasn't going to budge so he decided to leave it alone for now, he knew that she would warm up to them after being around them, like she had started to with Tony, Tim and Abby.

"DADDDD!" Abby said loudly

"What's up Abbs?" Gibbs asked calmly

"Can we take Ziva on the tour now?"

Gibbs nodded and Abby ran up to Ziva, and then paused a minute before taking her hand, when Ziva made no move to let go Abby smiled and then led her older sister out of the bullpen followed by Tony and Tim. When they left Gibbs' three team members moved over to his desk.

"So Gibbs what's the story on Ziva?" Kate asked.

Authors Note:

Heyyy so if you don't know I have another story that I'm writing along with this one it's called Secrets and Lies. It's a VERY VERY VERY mild Zibbs story. But it doesn't get into that stuff till wayyy later, and like I said very mild so if you're interested go check that one out. I'm also writing a crossover story with NCIS LA and it's a relationship between Callen and Ziva (once again very mild…I don't like too big of romantic relationships in my stories…) I haven't posted it yet, I want to get a few more chapters done before I start uploading that one but let me know if you think you may enjoy reading that one. Thanks!

I hope you liked this chapter and please review I'd like your input, or if you have questions or ideas or… yeah let me know J
