AN: So here is chapter 8. I am almost done posting what I have written. So hang tight while I write more over the next few weeks. Due to final exams coming up I will not really be updating much or even writing as much as I would like until about a week from Saturday. After that writing is fair game until I have to start work at the end of June but even at night and during my breaks I will be able to write more. Somewhere between chapter 10 and chapter 15 I will be bringing back the Motive gang for a couple of little story arcs. Also for one story arch Ziva will make a guest appearance and so will Boyd for a little while. One of the arcs will be a dark one so I will be upping the rating of this.

AN2: For this chapter and the previous one the link of the map I created for how the crew travels from Vancouver to DC is up on my profile and I tried my best to write this so that it goes along with that.

AN3: So I am not usually one to ask for more reviews and I know Motive is not a big fandom on this site yet but I would like to get a few more reviews if you like this so I know that there is interest for me to continue. Please and thank you!

Chapter 8

(The Phone Call)

[1300 Hours in DC]

{Call is between Abby and Gibbs phones but both ends are on speaker phone}

"Hello?" Gibbs said picking up his ringing cell phone.

"Hi Gibbs, it's Abby, Tim, and Tony. We were wondering where you are since you were supposed to go on the plane Tim came home on, yet you are not here." Abby said quickly.

"Hello guys this is Jenny. I have to answer the question since Jethro is pouting. Jethro forgot to book the six tickets like he was supposed to so we had to drive. We stayed in Helena, Montana last night. We will be staying in Peoria, Illinois tonight then we will be in DC about 1600 hours tomorrow. The boys will all be staying at Jethro's for the night while the girls and I spend the first night at the Adam's House both for bonding purposes. I have a formality meeting with SecNav on Monday morning so hopefully I can be back to work a week from Monday, since my friend from Vancouver PD is showing the house for me. But I need to find a school for all four kids to go to for this year." Jen replied.

"How far away from your destination for today are you guys?" Tony asked.

"Let me see, we left the hotel here at 0600 and it is currently 1200 hours here so we are almost coming into Wyoming to pass through into South Dakota. So we are making decent time. Plus I have been pulling a few tricks I have picked up from Jethro so that we can still get a good amount of sleep tonight. But for now I have to go we just pulled in to get gas and some snacks out of the back for the kids." Jen replied handing the phone back to Gibbs who then took it off of speaker quickly.

"So Tony, am I able to get in with the pool you have no doubt started? I know Tim mentioned I gave Jen the ring but so far no date has even been discussed. I am letting her pick the date without telling me until it gets closer. But I definitely want in on the bet for the date of the wedding since I have three possible ideas of when it could be." Gibbs said quickly.

"Sure Boss, hopefully this will make it so that Ducky won't win the pot for once. I will be quick with the dates. Tim has dibs on December 17 of this year, I have March 28, Ducky has October 23 of this year, Abby has June 5, Autopsy Gremlin has August 25 of next year, and Cynthia has Tuesday. When would you like to grab? Keep in mind it is a twenty dollar bet per person." Tony replied.

"Crap she will be back to the car in one minute. I will go with Thursday since that will be between the Press Conference and her first day back. But I gotta go. See you at Abby's tomorrow night." Gibbs replied as Jenny entered the car once again.

~Time Skip~

(Sunday 1545 Hours In the Car)

"Mom are we there yet? I have to go to the bathroom!" Jared called out.

"Almost buddy we should be at my house in almost fifteen minutes. But my work is closer, we are about two minutes from there so how about we stop there and see if anyone is around." Gibbs replied.

"Hey Gibbs, if you and mom say its okay and we want to can we start calling you dad? We were all talking about it earlier but decided we should ask if you would mind it. We all really like you and we see how happy you make mom. We also wanted to know if you planned to adopt us so that you really are our dad." Alexis asks timidly.

"Your mom and I will be talking about the adoption stuff once we are all settled at a house where all six of us can start fresh. As for you guys calling me dad or whatever...call me anything you wish whenever you are ready." Gibbs replied looking in the rear-view mirror as they parked in the parking garage of the Navy Yard.

"Okay all I am not going by the name Gibbs calls me since no one is expecting to see me here since they think I died five years ago. Her I will be going by Dr. Betty Rogers again. When we meet Gibbs' team for dinner I will be going by the name Gibbs calls me since they all know the truth." Jenny says as she gets out of the car.

(Squad Room)

"Hello Agent Gibbs welcome back. Director Vance heard you were going to be returning today and said if we saw you to have you go up to his office. Fair warning he is pissed at you." one of the Agents said when they say Gibbs and his travel companions getting off the elevator in the Squad Room.

"Let me just show Dr. Rogers and her children to the head then I will go up and see him." Gibbs replied leading the way to the bathrooms. "I will be right back. I can't wait until you are back in that office instead of Leon."

"I can't wait to have him out of there also. Meet us back at your desk when you're done?" Jen asked with a quick kiss for luck.

(Vance's Office)

"Director Vance one of the Agents downstairs told me you wanted to see me?" Gibbs asked.

"Cut the crap Gibbs. Where the hell have you been? You know damn well that I don't like it when my Agents leave without giving me proper notice of where they are going and when they will be back." Director Vance yells at Gibbs.

"Actually Leon I had to help McGee with a case he decided to help Vancouver PD with. I brought back their Medical Examiner so you can see that I am not lying. You can meet her on Tuesday. We have been traveling since 1300 hours Vancouver time on Friday and we have only gotten a total of eight hours of sleep. Plus we have dinner plans at 1800 hours." Gibbs replied with a smug smirk.

"Then why are you here?" Vance asked.

"Dr. Rogers' son Jared had to use the head and this was closer than my place. The kid is only nine. We have a twelve year old girl, twin nine year old boys, and a four almost five year old girl traveling with us. Now excuse me I need to get going and I will see you sometime between 0700 and 0800 hours tomorrow." Gibbs said leaving Vance staring at the door to his office as it slams shut.
