"Hi Gibbs." Tony said nervously.
"Who the hell were they, and why wouldn't you all answer your phones?" Gibbs said angrily. Tony sighed.
"They're my… I mean, our children. We wouldn't answer our phones because… well that's a conversation for another time." Tony said confidently, no matter what Gibbs wouldn't take away Ziva, McKenna, or Marshall, he wouldn't do it in the first place, no matter how mean Gibbs seamed, and Tony wouldn't let him anyways; so bottom line was, it wasn't going to happen.
"Our children?" Gibbs said questionably. "How long have you all been breaking rule twelve, DiNozzo?"
"Only a month, Gibbs. They are not my biological children, but I… we both consider them our children." Ziva said, touched that Tony thought the same way she did, and Gibbs looked to Tony.
"Explain." He said and Tony opened the door wider to let him in. He started to sit on the couch after he led Gibbs in, but Gibbs stopped him.
"Clothes first, DiNozzo. You too, Ziva. I'll watch the kids." He said, and Tony didn't take a second glance at Ziva, and neither did she. They both trusted Gibbs to leave Marshall and McKenna with him.
They went into their room and changed quickly, into jeans and casual shirts. When they walked back into the living room Gibbs had Marshall's right hand in his left and had McKenna on his side. Both children clothes were changed from the bags that the police officers had left at the door just the night before.
Marshall now had on a very tiny long sleeve Under Armour shirt like the one Tony wore now, except Marshall's was royal blue and his was dark green. Over the spandex was a white t-shirt with the name Homers T-ball written on it in a slightly lighter blue. On the back was the name Hall and the number three. Marshall's pants were just plain black sweat pants with a white stripe down each side and an Adidas symbol at the bottom of them in white made out of the wind breaker material. Tony looked down at his shoes, them being royal blue and white also.
"Good choice of style, Gibbs. Good matching too." Tony said jokingly and Gibbs let out a half smile. He was lightening up a bit.
"There were a lot of clothes and shoes in some boxes outside the door." Gibbs said, pointing to like six huge wooden boxes now in the corner of the living room.
"McKenna looks very cute too." Ziva said and looked at her. She had on a khaki skirt, just like the one yesterday just not corduroy and a bit shorter, but this time with plain white tights and brown sandals. Her shirt was a brown button up shirt with a brown and pink argyle sweater with white lines running through the diamonds over it.
"Thanks Ziver. Now, you're going to explain, and then we're all going to headquarters. We have a case. You would've known earlier, but you wouldn't answer your phones, so I came here." Gibbs said. Tony sighed and collapsed onto the couch.
"Sorry, boss. We were ummmm….. kind of busy." Tony said and launched into the story, telling Gibbs everything him and Ziva knew. When he was finished Gibbs nodded.
"PO Hall is the you-know-what in our case. While we're there Marshall and McKenna will stay with Jenny or Abby." Gibbs said, meaning victim, avoiding the words victim and died like Tony had by saying you-know-what.
"Okay, well, if we're going to headquarters, we need clothes for McKenna and Marshall." Tony said and he and Ziva started putting clothes for the kids in separate bags. Gibbs waited patiently for them, getting to know Marshall and McKenna in the mean time.
"We're ready boss." Tony said, standing up and swinging a large Nike backpack for Marshall and his own field backpack onto his back. He holstered his sig and Ziva did the same as him, except putting a pink Adidas bag on her back along with her field bag.
"Okay. Let's go." Gibbs said, grabbing the car seats that Tony had set to the side while packing. He climbed in the elevator and let the doors close, barely giving Tony and Ziva time to get in, each one with either Marshall or McKenna on their hip.
_______________________________________________________________________
Tony and Ziva climbed out of Tony's car behind Gibbs, Tony pulling McKenna out of her car seat and Ziva getting Marshall. Gibbs took Marshall and McKenna's bags and slung them on his own back. He climbed in the elevator, this time holding the door for Ziva and Tony and pushed their floor number.
When the elevator arrived at the bullpen they walked in.
"Hey McGoo!" Tony yelled and McGee looked around.
"Hey T… Who are the kids?" McGee asked.
"Mine and Ziva's son and daughter, Marshall and McKenna." Tony said, enjoying the shocked, confused look on McGee's face.
"All of you! My office now!" Jenny yelled from the balcony, over hearing Tony's statement.
"Yes Director!" Tony yelled back and half laughed half sighed. They all walked up the stairs after Gibbs called Ducky and Abby, wanting it to all be explained in one sitting. This would be fun.
(A/N: It's so cool! I just figured out you could buy Under Armour in toddler sizes! I just had to share it with everybody, because it's soooo adorable!)
