On the way to Abby's, Ziva and Tim rode together. Something was distracting Tim, and Ziva wanted to know what it was.
"Tim," Ziva said, "If you don't tell me what you're thinking about I will take out my pen and stab you with it!"
"Okay," Tim said, "I've been thinking about…love."
"Love?"
"Yeah, I think I'm in love."
"With who?"
"Promise not to tell anyone?"
"Yeah," Ziva was getting annoyed. Tim took a deep breath and smiled.
"Abby." Ziva almost crashed the car.
"No!" Ziva said a little more loudly then she meant.
"What do you mean no?"
"Tim, trust me…do not tell anyone about that."
"Why not?"
"I cannot tell you."
"Ziva, I love her."
"Stop it, Tim!"
"Why can't I love her?" Tim shouted.
"She has a boyfriend!" Tim's face fell.
"Is she-," Tim cleared his throat, "Is she happy?" Ziva felt bad.
"Yes, Tim, she is. She loves him," Ziva said, "I think that…I think she'll marry him."
"Is she that serious about him?"
"They're in love. Trust me Tim; they're good for each other."
"You've met him?"
"You know him, too."
"Who is it?"
"Tim-"
"Does Tony know him?"
"Yes."
"Does Boss know him?" Ziva looked at Tim, he caught on.
"I don't believe you!" Tim exclaimed.
"I'm so sorry, Tim. It's true."
"It can't be true. She doesn't have red hair," Tim said sadly.
"Oh, Tim," Ziva started sympathetically, "You'll find someone."
"Ziva, she's the one."
"Tim, she's like desperately in love with him." They pulled up to Abby's house, Tim got right out and he walked into the house. Gibbs was kissing Abby; they stopped when they saw Tim. Tim was upset. Ziva came in the house.
"Hey Ziva," Abby said sweetly, "Hey Timmy."
"Hey," Ziva said. Tim nodded solemnly. All five of the boys came down the steps and they hugged Gibbs and Abby goodbye. Then Abby and Gibbs left meet Tony, Ducky, and Palmer at the airport. They got on the airplane. Ducky, Palmer and Tony sat in the middle column, on the right three seats. Gibbs and Abby sat two rows a head of them, but on the right column row. After the plane took off, Abby fell asleep. Gibbs cradled him arm around her and she held close to him. Tony, Ducky, and Palmer looked at them. Abby woke up three hours later; she had forgotten where they were.
"Hey," she said quietly before kissing him. Tony, Ducky, and Palmer were in shock. Tony quickly texted Ziva and told her what just happened.
"What did Ziva say?" Palmer asked.
"She said, 'I know Tony. They've been together for a while now,'" Tony was shocked by the text.
'Well thanks for telling me Ziva,' Tony texted sarcastically.
'You're welcome.'
When they got to Vegas, they went into their hotel. It was huge! It had a bar, a casino, and a chapel inside of it. After they checked in, Abby and Gibbs went up to Abby's room to hang out. They started to drink. It started out just a couple of beers, but that turned into bottles and bottles of bourbon, until they were absolutely drunk. Then they started to explore the hotel, until Abby tripped and fell right into the chapel doors. They walked in and they got married right then and there and went back up to their rooms to sleep off the alcohol.
The next morning they had forgotten all about it, but they had a bad headache. They worked on the case, and they solved it. When they were checking out of the hotel, they ran into the women who married them and they remembered. They were shocked and slightly embarrassed. Tony, Ducky, and Palmer found out and texted Ziva and Tim. Everyone was shocked. Abby and Gibbs were slightly happy, but they would never admit it. On the airplane ride home they sat in silence for a while. Tony, Ducky, and Palmer sat a distance away from them.
"So, what do you want to do?" Abby asked.
"It's up to you," Gibbs said.
"Here's what I know," Abby said, "I love you and I think it would be cool to be married to you."
"Are you sure? I mean- are you sure that I don't have too many exes? You're technically my fifth wife."
"Hey, I don't care if I'm the fifth or the twenty-fifth," Abby said sweetly, "All I want is you." Gibbs smiled.
"I love you, too." Abby smiled and held close to him.
"Also, my basement is like twice the size of yours…so you have to stay. You'll have more room to build your boats."
"Sounds like a plan," Gibbs chuckled. "I wonder how the boys will react to this."
"Dewey has been begging me since he met you, for me to marry you," Abby said.
"Seriously?" Abby nodded.
"I miss my boys soooo much," Abby said.
"Want to hear something weird," Gibbs said, "I kind of miss them, too." Abby smiled widely and kissed him.
When they got home they walked in to have Ziva run right up to them.
"Is it true? Did you two get married?" Ziva asked. They nodded. Ziva smiled widely, "Congratulations."
"Thank you," Abby said. Then Tim walked over and faked a smile.
"Congratulations," Tim said.
"Thank you, Tim," Abby said smiling. Tim smiled back, he could tell she was happy and that was all that mattered to him. Francis came down the steps.
"Your back!" Francis exclaimed and gave them a hug. "Is it true? Did you two get married?" Francis looked ecstatic. They nodded. "Yes! Finally!" Then Malcolm came down and gave them a hug and was so happy. Then Reese came down with Jamie and gave them a hug. They knew that Abby and Gibbs got married and they were over joyed.
"Where's Dewey?" Abby asked.
"Dewey would not leave the table since you both left," Ziva said, "He'll get out to go to the bathroom, but that's it." Abby and Gibbs walked over to the table.
"Dewey?" Abby said. Dewey came out and smiled widely and hugged them both.
That night Dewey was up with Gibbs and Abby. Dewey was so happy. You couldn't get the smile off of his face.
"Dewey," Abby said, "Time for bed." Dewey got up and started for the stairs.
"Night Mom, Night Dad," Dewey said over his shoulder. Gibbs and Abby smiled widely.
"That's one of our babies," Abby said.

Two months later, they boys were calling Gibbs and Abby, Dad and Mom. Gibbs and Abby legally adopted them. They were a family. Gibbs and Abby were happily married, they never really fought. Gibbs tried to spend as much time with the boys as he possibly could. He taught Francis, Reese, and Malcolm how to make things with wood, how to intimidate people, how to fight, and how to fire a gun. He taught Dewey how to make things out of wood and how to defend himself. Jamie was too little to teach him what the taught the boys, so Gibbs' just spent time with Jamie. Abby was so happy that they all got along. Gibbs and Abby took turns coming home early. Abby would come home around 3 o'clock every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And Gibbs would come home around 3 o'clock every Tuesday and Thursday. They were a united family.
Around six o'clock on Thursday, Gibbs came home from work. Dewey met him at the door and gave him a hug.
"Hey Dad!" Dewey exclaimed.
"Hey Dewey," Gibbs replied, "Where's your mother?"
"She's in the kitchen." Gibbs went into the kitchen and saw Abby. She had jeans and a pretty black shirt on, but it was being covered by her apron. She was stirring something on the stove. She wasn't facing him. He smiled at her and walked up behind her and wrapped his arm around her stomach. She jumped in surprised, and then she giggled.
"You scared me," Abby laughed.
"Yeah?" Gibbs replied. Abby smiled at him and kissed him.
"Do you have a minute?"
"Yeah, why? What's up?"
"The boys will be starting school in a couple weeks and I want to talk about it."
"Sure. I have a minute." Gibbs took a seat. Abby sat next to him.
"I went to get Malcolm tested. I know Malcolm has an IQ of 165, but I wanted to see if I could get him into a gifted class. He could probably get bumped up a grade, but he doesn't want to."
"Okay…what did they say?"
"They want to put him in the Gifted Program for school."
"That's good."
"Yeah," Abby smile faded, "I'm going to go into work later than usual because I want to make sure that they walk to school."
"Okay. Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Yeah." Gibbs changed the subject and looked at the stove.
"What's for dinner?"
"Chili, it will be ready in a couple minutes."
"Sounds great, babe." Gibbs said as he kissed her.
"Love you."
"I love you, too."
That night they had a nice dinner. They all were sharing what they did day and they chatted. They were having a nice family dinner. After dinner, the boys went upstairs and Abby and Gibbs stayed in the living room. Gibbs had one arm around Abby and the other holding a glass of wine. They were just relaxing, when suddenly Gibbs' cell phone started to ring. He put down the glass and picked up the phone, he looked at the caller ID and sighed. He answered it and hung up thirty seconds later. He looked at his wife.
"I got to go in to the office," Gibbs said. Gibbs knew how irritated all his exes were when he had to leave for work, so he wondered how Abby would react.
"Okay," Abby said. She seemed fine with it. "How long you going to be?"
"I don't know." Abby nodded and kissed him, then her phone started to ring. She picked it up and hung up thirty seconds later.
"Guess what," Abby said.
"What?"
"I have to go into work, too."
"Really?" Gibbs asked surprised. She nodded.
"We can't leave the boys here," Abby said, "They'll beat each other up and they won't go to bed on time."
"We can't take them all with us," Gibbs replied and they both sat there in silence thinking.
"We'll take Malcolm and Reese," Abby said, "Francis will be so tired from putting Jamie and Dewey to bed that he'll go to bed on time." Gibbs started to laugh.
"Good plan, but you know Dewey will want to come, too."
"Okay. So we'll take Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey and Francis will watch Jamie." They nodded with agreement and Gibbs whistled loudly to get the boys to come down the steps. They all came running down the steps and stood in front of them military style.
"Boys," Gibbs said walking up to them, "You mother and I have to go to work tonight. I don't know how long we will be. Francis, you are going to watch Jamie. Reese, Malcolm, Dewey…you are going to come with us to work." The boys nodded. Dewey was ecstatic, he loved going to NCIS.
"Reese, Malcolm, Dewey go get your overnight bags," Abby said. Dewey flew up the steps to get his bag, Malcolm and Reese followed. Francis stood there.
"Why do I have to watch Jamie?" Francis wined.
"What's better; Watching Jamie or Military School?" Abby asked.
"Jamie," Francis answered, "Okay, okay. I'll watch Jamie."
"Do not invite anyone over, no parties, and go to bed by midnight."
"Fine," Francis said irritated. Abby smiled. The boys came down the steps with their back packs.
"Okay boys, in the car," Gibbs said leading the three boys into the car. Abby kissed her two sons' foreheads and left. In the car Reese was on the left, Malcolm was on the right, and Dewey was in the middle.
"Dad?" Reese asked, "Are you going to interrogate anyone tonight?"
"No, probably not," Gibbs replied. Reese looked disappointed, then he looked happy.
"Are you going to beat anyone up tonight?" Reese asked excitedly.
"I don't know."
"If you do…can I watch?" Reese asked excitedly. Gibbs thought for a moment.
"Yeah, if the fights at NCIS." Reese nodded happily.
"Score!" Malcolm rolled his eyes. When they got there Reese and Dewey followed Gibbs to his desk and Malcolm stayed with Abby. Reese was sitting in Tony's desk chair, with his feet up, and his hands behind his head, and Dewey was sitting in Gibbs' desk chair, swaying, while Gibbs went to get a coffee. They were bored. Malcolm walked over in a lab coat and a clip board. Reese started laughing.
"What are you wearing you nerd?" Reese asked.
"I have information on the case," Malcolm said, "Where's dad?"
"Coffee run," Reese answered. Malcolm nodded, then Fornelle and Vance walked over.
"Boys," Fornelle acknowledged them.
"Fornelle," the boys acknowledged back, "Director."
"Reese, Malcolm, Dewey," Vance said, "Where is Gibbs?"
"Coffee run, sir," Malcolm said respectfully. Vance nodded.
"And most likely bringing mom a Calf Pow!" Reese finished. Vance and Fornelle smirked. Then Gibbs came over to them. Fornelle, Gibbs, and Vance discussed the case, then Malcolm shared the forensic information that he had. Fornelle, Vance, and Gibbs all marveled at how smart Malcolm was. Dewey walked over to the men.
"Reese called Malcolm a nerd," Dewey said cutely.
"Dewey!" Reese shouted. Gibbs slightly glared at Reese, to warn him. Reese shut up immediately. Dewey and Malcolm chuckled, but stopped after a glare from Reese.
"I'm going to go see mom," Malcolm said quickly and he went towards the elevator. Dewey smiled at Gibbs. Gibbs ruffled Dewey's hair and smirked at him.
About two weeks later the boys were about to start school. This is where things get somewhat complicated.
