Three days pasted, Abby was about to pull up to her house. Dewey was sitting in the back seat with Jamie. Dewey had to use a wheelchair because of the broken leg; he wasn't too thrilled about it. Abby called Gibbs and told him to come outside to help her with Dewey and Jamie. It was 0500 , they had to catch and early flight.

Abby pulled up and Gibbs walked outside, over to her car. Abby got out and gave him a hug, then she brought him over to Dewey's side of the car, she opened the door. Dewey was too scared to say anything.

"Gibbs, this is Dewey and Jamie," Abby said.

"Nice to meet you," Gibbs said to Jamie and Dewey.

"Gibbs? Could you carry Dewey in the house, so I can get Jamie?" Gibbs nodded. Abby got Jamie and put him in the house, and Gibbs picked up Dewey and put him in the house. Then they got the bags out of the car. When they were done Abby woke up Malcolm and Reese. They came down the steps.

"Dewey!" They yelled. They gave him a huge hug, and then they hugged Jamie. Abby smiled and Gibbs put his arm around her shoulder.

An hour later Dewey was in his wheelchair in Malcolm's room with Reese and Malcolm, they were talking.

"So, what's it like here?" Dewey asked.

"It's good. Better than home," Malcolm said.

"Gibbs seems nice."

"He's great!" Reese said, "If you ask he'll tell you about some cases he worked on."

"Who is he?"

"He's Abby's boss," Malcolm said.

"And her boyfriend," Reese corrected.

"Yeah, but you can't tell anyone."

"Why?" Dewey asked.

"They'll get fired."

"Oh, that's not good," Dewey said like a seven year old would say.

"Life here is great!" Reese said.

"Yeah, it is," Malcolm said, "I wonder when Francis is coming."


That next week Gibbs and Abby went to work and the boys stayed home. Gibbs and Abby were at Gibbs' desk when all of a sudden a man with a military uniform, an eye patch, and a hook on his hand walked over to them.

"I am looking for a Ms. Abigail Scuito," the man said.

"That's me," Abby answered.

"I am Commandant Spangler. I am here to deliver Francis Wilkerson." Then Francis walked over. "He is all yours. Don't mess this up Francis." Then Spangler left. Francis smiled. Abby studied Francis and smiled.


Abby and Francis were in the car driving home.

"So, Abby," Francis said, "I hope the boys haven't been too much trouble."

"They've been…um…well…Reese and Malcolm got into a fist fight yesterday."

"Yeah. Not surprising. I taught them everything they know." Abby looked at him with slight fear in her eyes. Francis laughed.

"Okay here we are." Abby said as they pulled up to her house. Francis smiled.

"You have money?"

"Yeah, my aunt left it to me."

"So, I'm like going to live here?"

"Yes, Francis," Abby said confused.

"I'm defiantly going to love it here," Francis said getting out of the car. They walked into the house and Abby called the boys. They came running down and jumped on Francis, except for Dewey and Jamie. Francis walked over to Dewey and gave him a hug, then he did the same with Jamie. After he got all his things in his room, Abby sat them down to talk to them.

"Okay, boys," Abby said, "I want to talk to you about everything that's going to happen."

"Like what?" Francis asked.

"Well… when school starts I will be working full time and I will be home later in the day. Francis, you will be attending North High, it's three blocks away. Reese, you will be attending North Middle, which is connected to North High. Dewey will be in North Elementary, its close. Jamie will be in Day Care. And Malcolm…since this is a new school and a new city…I wanted to know if you wanted to skip a grade."

"What! I don't think-" Malcolm was freaking out.

"Malcolm! You don't have to. It was just a suggestion." Malcolm calmed down.

"So…how's Gibbs?" Reese asked, "He hasn't come by in a while."

"He's good, he'll be over for dinner tonight," Abby replied smiling, "You boys can go upstairs now."

The boys went upstairs and hung out in their rooms until diner time.


The boys all got really close to Abby and Gibbs. They really liked them, they feared, loved, and respected them. Abby considered the boys hers, they technically were. Abby had a tight schedule; she would wake up at 5:30, take a shower, get dressed, and make breakfast for her and the boys. Around 6:30 Jamie would get up and she would get him washed and dressed and she would play with him until 7:00. At 0700 she would get Francis, Reese, or Malcolm up, so one of them could watch Jamie and take care of Dewey, so she could go to work. She came home at lunch every day for 15 minutes to check on the boys. Then she would work until she was finished and she would come home.

One day in late August, Abby came to work and she was exhausted. She drank an extra-large Calf Pow! just to keep from falling asleep. She had information on a joint investigation with NCIS and CGIS and she called Gibbs up to come down to her lab. He and Agent Borne came down.

"Abby," Agent Borne said.

"Other Abby," Abby replied, "I have some information on the case." Abby yawned then went back to talking about the case. Abby looked exhausted by the time she was done talking.

"You alright Abby?" Borne asked her.

"I am so unbelievably tired," Abby said.

"Abs, why don't you take a nap?" Gibbs asked her.

"I can't. I have to work, then I'll go home and…work."

"You never take a break."

"My poor baby screamed all night."

"Jamie?"

"No, Dewey, he kept having nightmares because Reese let him watch a movie that I wouldn't even let Francis watch." Borne looked confused.

"I didn't know you had kids, Abby," Borne said.

"Yeah, I do."

"How many?"

"Five boys. They're ages range from 2 to 16."

"Wow. I didn't know that."

"Yeah, I love them, but they are driving me nuts. My older three always get into fist fights, I'm sure when my seven year old gets better he'll be joining them. Jamie is a fussy eater and Dewey's nightmares keep everyone up. Dewey and I are similar in that way."

"Believe me I know," Gibbs chuckled. Abby glared at him.

"That's not funny," Abby couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well I better get back upstairs," Borne said leaving, "See you Abs."

"Looks like she's leaving," Gibbs said. Abby smiled at him and kissed him, little did they know that Borne was watching them from the doorway. She was in shock.

"So…I'll see you tonight?" Abby asked. Gibbs nodded and kissed her. They finally saw a shocked Agent Borne in the door way.

"I didn't expect that," Borne said dryly. Abby and Gibbs were shocked that she was there.

"Umm…don't tell anyone," Abby said to Borne.

"Okay, I won't," Borne said still looking at them. Then she smiled and started to chuckle, "Caught me off guard. Okay, I'm going upstairs." Abby waved nervously goodbye, then Borne went upstairs. Abby turned to Gibbs.

"Well…that was close," Abby said nervously.

"Yeah, it was," Gibbs replied chuckling. Abby's phone started to ring, she answered it.

"Hello?" Abby answered, "Dewey?... Okay…I'll be home in a minute." She hung up.

"Have to go home?"

"Malcolm and Reese are fighting and Francis bailed," Abby said.

"He bailed?"

"He went out to a movie. I am going to ground him for two weeks," Abby said. Gibbs chuckled. "I have to go." She started to walk towards the door, but she stopped and turned towards him. "I love you." Gibbs smirked and walked over to her and kissed her.

"I love you, too." Abby smiled.

"Even though I have five rambunctious boys," Abby said chuckling. Gibbs started laughing, he held her close.

"I like your boys," Gibbs said.

"That's great because my boys like you," Abby said smiling, she kissed him one more time, "I have to go. See you tonight." She walked away and went home. When she got there; Francis was gone, Malcolm and Reese were fighting, Jamie was asleep, and Dewey was hiding under the table.

"What is going on here?" Abby yelled. Malcolm and Reese stopped fighting, "Just go to your rooms." They did and Abby walked over to the table. Dewey was under it and he was scared. Ever since his biological parents died everything scared him. Dewey wouldn't come out.

"Dewey," Abby tried to calm him, "Gibbs is coming to dinner." Dewey smiled and crawled out. He liked Gibbs because he felt safe with him. Francis came in about an hour later.

Gibbs came around 5:00. Dewey greeted him at the door. They had a nice dinner. After dinner the boys went upstairs and Abby and Gibbs sat on the couch and started to talk.

"I have to ask you to do something for me," Abby said, "You're not going to like it."

"What?" Gibbs asked.

"I'm signing the adoption papers for the boys next week and…" Abby was nervous, "I need to know that if something ever happen to me that they will be taken care of. So, could you sign them too?"

"Abs," Gibbs tried to say no, but she cut him off.

"Please?"

"Why?"

"Okay…a relative of Lois' is trying to take them from me. She's married and has more grounds then I do, so I need to adopt them soon. And I need you to, too, because I told them I was married," Abby chuckled nervously. Gibbs sighed in defeat.

"Fine," Gibbs said. Abby smiled widely and kissed him.

"Thank you," Abby whispered. Dewey walked in, he smiled and walked over.

"Can I have ice cream, Mommy?" Dewey asked.

"Sure, it's in the freezer," Abby wasn't paying attention. Dewey went into the kitchen. Abby finally realized what he said and she looked at Gibbs.

"Did he just..?" Abby started.

"Yep," Gibbs replied chuckling. Dewey came back in and sat down next to them. Abby kissed the top of his head.

"Can I ask you both something?" Dewey asked. Abby nodded. "Why can't anybody know about you two?" Abby and Gibbs looked at each other.

"I have no idea," Gibbs said.

"Me either," Abby said. Dewey looked at them.

"Well, why don't you tell people?" Dewey asked. Abby and Gibbs looked at each other.

"I don't know," Abby said, she looked sort of sad. Gibbs put his arm around her, she smiled.

"When you two get married," Dewey said to Gibbs, "Can you be my daddy?" Gibbs smiled.

"Sure, Dewey," Gibbs said, shaking Dewey's hair, "Sure." Dewey smiled widely and Abby smiled and held close to Gibbs.

"Great," Dewey said smiling. Then he went upstairs. Abby smiled at Gibbs.

"When we get married?" Abby said smiling. Gibbs pulled her closer and smiled at her. Abby kissed him.

"Whatever you want," Gibbs said.

"Really?" Abby asked. Gibbs nodded. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

"If you want," Gibbs started, "You can tell people…soon."

"Really?" Abby smiled, "That would be great."


That next day, Gibbs and Abby went to work. They acted like nothing was going on, until Gibbs went into Abby's lab. They started to kiss, until someone interrupted them. A shocked woman with an Israeli accent stared in shock. Ziva was so shocked her eyes were huge like saucers. She slowly walked out of sight, and then ran up the steps to her desk. She sat at her desk, shocked beyond words. She was trying to make sense of what she saw. Tony and Tim stared at the confused Israeli.

"Um…you okay, Ziva?" Tim asked. She didn't answer.

"Ziva?" Tony tried to get her attention, but Ziva didn't answer. Gibbs walked in.

"Boss, I think there is something wrong with Ziva," Tim said. Gibbs looked over at her.

"Ziva?" Gibbs said with his deep voice. Ziva looked at him with a shocked expression. Then she smiled and chuckled. She walked over to him.

"I didn't know you had a girlfriend," Ziva whispered in Gibbs ear. Gibbs glared at her.

"What did you see?" Gibbs whispered harshly. Ziva chuckled. Gibbs looked at her harshly. Ziva walked towards the elevator and went down to Abby's lab.

"Hey Ziva," Abby said chipper.

"Hey Abs," Ziva said, "I have a few questions for you. Can you answer them?"

"Umm…sure?" Abby said confused.

"How long have you had a boyfriend?" Ziva asked chuckling. Abby's face went into shock.

"How did you- When did you- What-," Abby couldn't ask the right questions.

"I came down here a couple of minutes ago," Ziva chuckled.

"Oh, God!" Abby exclaimed.

"How long?"

"About two months."

"I can't believe it! So…no more rule number 12."

"Ziva!"

"Is there?"

"No, probably not."

"How serious are you two? If you don't mind me asking."

"Very serious."

"Um… congratulations."

"Thank you," Abby said. Ziva started to walk away, "Ziva!" Ziva stopped.

"Yes, Abby," Ziva said.

"Don't tell anyone. Gibbs doesn't want anyone to know yet," Abby said. Ziva nodded and walked away.


That night at Abby's house, Gibbs was teaching the boys how to play poker, while Abby was cleaning up the kitchen. Gibbs let the boys practice and he went into the kitchen. Abby was washing a pan, and Gibbs came up behind her and kissed her cheek. He scared her. She put down the dish and faced him.

"Gibbs!" Abby exclaimed, and then she laughed, "You scared me." Gibbs smiled widely.

"Yeah," Gibbs smirked and wrapped his arms around her, "You better get used to it." She giggled.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, really," he leaned in and kissed her.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Anything," he smiled at her.

"How come nobody can know about this?" Gibbs sighed.

"Who says they can't?" Gibbs smirked; Abby smiled widely and hugged him. At that moment Reese came running in.

"I won! I beat them at poker!" Reese said enthusiastically, "I got a Royal Flush!"

"Good job, Reese," Gibbs said, "Now see if you can beat them again." Reese nodded and walked into the dining room, where they were playing. Gibbs and Abby started to kiss again.


Reese walked into the dining room.

"They are so going to get married!" Reese announced.

"I hope so," Malcolm said.

"Yeah, then we'll be a family," Dewey said, "We already have a Mommy, and we're the kids, and if they get married…well have a Daddy. I know we used to, but there not here anymore, so we have a new Mommy and I hope a new Daddy." Francis, Reese, Malcolm, and even Jamie smiled at Dewey's comment.

"Dewey's right," Malcolm said, "We have an opportunity to start over. We should take this opportunity and not let it slip. I mean we have a new home, new parents, new life!"

"Yeah," Francis said, "If they get married…we'll change are last names."

"Yeah," Malcolm said, "We can try not to get in trouble as much and we could refer to them as mom and dad."

"Sounds like a plan. All in favor?" They all raised their hands. "Good, then its settled." Abby and Gibbs walked out of the kitchen; they hadn't heard the conversation the boys were having. They sat down at the table.

"What's everyone talking about?" Abby asked. They all shrugged and smiled. "Well…we have to talk to you boys about something."

"Really?" Malcolm asked.

"What?" Reese asked.

"They're was a shooting of multiple Petty Officers in Las Vegas," Gibbs said, "They need help down there, so myself, Tony, Ducky, Palmer, and Abby are going down there for about four days." Dewey walked over to them.

"You'll be back right?" Dewey asked. Gibbs ruffled Dewey's hair.

"Of course," Gibbs said, Dewey smiled.

"When are you leaving?" Reese asked.

"Tomorrow," Gibbs said.

"Who will be watching us?" Malcolm asked, hoping it wasn't Francis.

"Ziva," Abby answered, "Well…Tim, too, but mostly Ziva."

"Please take me with you," Dewey pleaded.

"Oh, Dewey," Abby said, "We'll only be gone for a couple days…it'll be okay." Dewey nodded. "Okay boys, its 10 o'clock…time to go to bed." They boys said goodnight and went upstairs. Two minutes later Dewey came down stairs.

"Dewey, baby," Abby said, "What are you doing up?"

"Promise you both will be back?" Dewey asked sadly.

"Dewey…why do you keep asking us that?"

"I already lost my first parents," Dewey's voice was breaking, "I don't need to lose another pair." Abby picked him up.

"Oh, baby boy," Abby was trying not to cry, "We'll be back…I promise." Abby sat on the couch, next to Gibbs, with Dewey in her arms. Gibbs put his arm around Abby and brought them close. Dewey was really upset and scared.

"Don't worry Dewey," Gibbs said, "I'll keep her safe."

"You'll be back too, right?" Dewey asked.

"Yes, Dewey I will be back, too." Dewey hugged Gibbs and wouldn't let go. Finally, Dewey fell asleep. Gibbs carried him up to his room and laid him down on his bed. Then Gibbs went down stairs with Abby. He sat on the couch and she snuggled up against him.

"Gibbsey," Abby said sweetly, Gibbs smirked.

"Yes, Abby," Gibbs said.

"Those kids just love you. Ever since you've been coming to dinner; Francis hasn't gotten into any trouble, Reese hasn't back talked, Malcolm has calmed down more, Dewey's nightmares have gone away, and Jamie seems happier."

"Really?" Gibbs smiled. Abby nodded and kissed him.

"So…what time do we leave tomorrow?"

"Our plane takes off around 1100."

"So, Ziva and Tim will be here around 10:00?" Gibbs nodded. Abby smiled at him. Her eyes were locked with his. They started to kiss, then Gibbs stopped it.

"I have to go. I haven't packed yet," Gibbs said, gently getting her hair out of her face.

"Okay," Abby sighed.

"I love you."

"I love you, too." He kissed her, and then he left. Abby was afraid to leave her kids, but she was excited to go to Vegas with Gibbs, even though it was for work.
