I hope that's okay with everyone.

CHAPTER 13: Pack your Bags

Ziva had grown more comfortable with the Gibbs' everyday. To the families delight, Ziva began smiling and participating in all family activities. Gibbs sat on the couch thinking about Hadar, and Ziva's biological father Eli David. The night before Ziva had finally confessed that the main reason she wanted to go back to Israel was because she wanted to protect her mother. Gibbs thought about all the things Ziva had most likely done to protect someone she cared about. He was glad that Ziva had finally opened up and acted like a real child.

Ziva had been living with the Gibbs' for a week now and, like Gibbs, Jenny was happy to see that Ziva fit into their family. Jenny knew that Ziva would never be completely a child due to all of the training her father had put her through. But she was happy to see that Ziva could still let her guard down at times and act like a true nine year old girl.

"Well I'm glad Ziva finally fit in" Jenny asked her husband as she sat down next to him on the couch. Their four children were already upstairs in bed and they had the house to themselves.

"Me too" said Gibbs and then kissed Jen on the lips softly.

"So I know I brought this up the other day, but the kids really want to go to Stillwater, and I think we should" said Jenny

"I think so too. It's about time Jack met the newest addition to our family."

"Good! Thank you Jethro"

"I called him, he's expecting us tomorrow afternoon" said Gibbs smirking

"Whaa- ? What about work?"

"I handled it with Cynthia…surprise" Gibbs said. Jenny laughed

"Have I told you that you are the best husband ever?" Jenny asked

"Yeah but it doesn't hurt to say it again…" said Gibbs

"Thank you" she said kissing him. Then got up off of the couch.

"Where ya goin?"

"Well if we are going to Stillwater tomorrow we are going to need to pack, I'm sure we're going to have to help them in the morning because they will be too excited and they will forget something again.."

"Oh yeah" Gibbs said laughing "Remember last time when Tony forgot his toothbrush and then Abby left her skull pillow cover and she started crying till we went and bought her a new one?"

"Yes. That is what I mean, now come on let's go pack" said Jenny

~~~The Next Morning-close to Afternoon-ish~~~

"All ready?" Asked Gibbs looking at his five children

"Yup!" Said Tony

"Tell everybody I'm on my way… new friends and new places to seeeee….the moon skies ahead yes I'm on my way and there's no where else I'd rather be" Tony sang

"What's that from?" asked Abby

"What makes you think I didn't just make it up?" asked Tony defensively

"Because you are always quoting movie lyrics, or words" Ziva butt in.

"Well fine Misssss Zeee-Vah" said Tony "It's from Brother Bear" When Abby and Ziva just looked at him blankly he sighed

"You know Brother Bear? Disney, it's the one when the guy kills the bear and then he ends up turning into one and he meets a bear cub?"

"Yes Tony we get it" said Tim

"No one asked you McEavesdrop" snapped Tony

"TONY!" Gibbs said raising his voice slightly

"Sorry Timmy" Tony mumbled.

"Alright guys everyone hop in" said Jenny

They obliged and soon the whole family was piled into their car, their bags in the back and Gibbs, of course, was in the driver's seat.

"So where are we going exactly?" asked Ziva, confused slightly. All she had been told was they were going to a place called Stillwater.

"We're going to see your Grandpa Jack, who lives in Stillwater Pennsylvania" said Jenny as Gibbs pulled out onto the street

"Oh…." Ziva said. Ziva was feeling on edge about going to Stillwater. Even though she knew the entire family had been there before she still did not like going to new places that were unfamiliar to her. Before she had left the house she had made sure to pack three pairs of knives just in case. She always kept one on her, but since she didn't know what was going to happen once they got there she decided to go prepared for anything.

"So how long till we get there?" Tony asked after 20 minutes of sitting in the car.

Gibbs, Jenny, Ziva, Tim, and Abby groaned. This was going to be a long car ride.

Authors Note:

YAYYY the chapter you've been waiting for… finally Ziva has fully fit into the family. And don't worry I am not going to change that…at least not drastically. She fits in with the family, she is growing to love them more and more and they are a family now. Anyways I hope you liked it and please review I'd like your input, or if you have questions or ideas or… yeah let me know J
