"I'm scared" Sam whispered as he holds onto Haley's hand, Tara rolls her eyes mumbling what a baby.
"Mr. and Mrs. McGee will be nice people" Haley assured her little brother, she nodded at Tara who glanced at her boredly.
"Yah, there's no reason to be a baby" Tara said as one of the attendant, Millie leads them out of the terminal.
"I'm not a baby" Sam blubbered, Tara shakes her head and lets Millie lead them out.
"Tara, come on" Haley whispered while Tara held her hands up in defense.
"What? He acts like one" Tara mumbled as they all look around for Tim and Abby McGee who eventually see them, standing beside the flight attendant who is checking her watch.
"If we aren't good, they might send us back" Haley whispered in a hushed tone, Tara finally understood that if she is bad. They all might get sent back, nobody wants one of the identical twins, it makes them feel extra guilty.
"Hi kids, I'm Abby and this is my husband Tim" Abby said while Tim tells Millie what is going on and such.
"Hi" they all said awkwardly, Sam looks up at the bubbly lady and smiled.
"Let's get you're suitcases and head home for lunch" Tim decided with a smile, they all nodded in full agreement.
"Can we have macaroni and cheese" Sam asked looking at both of the adults hopefully.
"Yes sweetie, we can" Abby said ruffling his light brown hair with a soft smile.
"Michael, are you going to be okay on your own?" the pilot asked him, Michael nodded not understanding why he has to keep following him.
"Do you know what they look like?" the pilot asked, Michael nodded again his Social Worker showed him their pictures before he left.
"Good, smart kid, but I don't think I should leave just yet" the pilot praised Michael glanced dryly at him, while an older man, young looking woman, and little girl come up to them.
"Then why'd yah offer ta?" Michael demanded under his breath, sounding like a smart ass.
"Hi Michael, I'm Sophie this is my daughter Emily and boyfriend Jethro. Can you two wait right here while we talk to the Pilot? Then we can grab so lunch and get to know one another" Sophie said looking at Gibbs who smiles at her while he argues with the pilot that he shouldn't have even thought of leaving an 11 year old alone in an airport.
"Yes mommy" Emily cooed sweetly, poor Michael doesn't even know the girl and he senses she's trouble.
"What do you do for fun?" Michael asked politely, looking down at Emily who glances up at him with those green eyes.
"Play with my dollies and dress up. They're fun" Emily said smiling sugary sweet at Michael, who swallows hard and nods.
"I like making forts and man hunt" Michael said nodding at her; Emily turns her nose up in disgust.
"Dollies and dress-up are more funner" Emily said sticking her tongue out at him, Michael rolls his eyes littler kids at the home behave better than she does.
"You're probably right, but the most fun is causing trouble" Michael said at last his voice sounded bored and angry with this little kid, being so annoying and bratty.
"What kind of trubble?" Emily asked suddenly interesting in this boy's inventive mind.
"The fun kind" Michael assured her with a nudge.
"You kids ready to go" Sophie asked walking towards them wearing a soft smile.
"Yes Ms. Ramsey and Mr. Gibbs" Michael answered remembering the names his Social Worker gave him, Emily scowls at him and when Michael turned his back; she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Please, call me Sophie" Sophie said giving him that warm smile, Emily's mouth turns into an O wide with shock. She doesn't even get to call her mommy Sophie, this isn't fair.
"Gibbs will do, Mike" Gibbs said nodding at the boy who glanced up at him.
"Let's go mommy and Gibbs" Emily said suddenly angry that Michael is receiving more attention than she is; Gibbs is her Gibbs.
"Hold onto my hand, Em, the streets are dangerous" Gibbs said reaching out to hold Emily's hand, she glared at Michael as she took it. Michael has a very bad feeling that she's going to cause trouble all throughout his weeks here.
"Alison, what would you like to drink?" Tony asked handing her a slice of pepperoni pizza, luckily this is the young child's favorite.
"I'm not thirsty, sir" Alison replied very politely, even though she is starving.
"You can call us by our first names; Tony and Ziva" Ziva said kindly, the young girl smiled at her.
"Can, I get soda?" Alison asked eagerly, she's never allowed soda at the home.
"Are you allowed soda, at you're home?" Tony asked meeting her gaze, Alison's eyes widened.
"Yah" Alison lied smiling as she kept his gaze long enough, until he looked away.
"Not to much, it'll give you a stomach ache" Ziva warned Alison gives her a pleading look, the adult shakes her head.
"So…how's school?" Tony asked casually, Alison turned bright red with embarrassment and bites her lip.
"Fine, but my teacher is mean. He blames me for everything, some of it is me, but every time someone pulled a prank he'd look at me and ask me FIRST" Alison said reaching for a napkin.
"Next time, you won't pull pranks" Tony scolded her very lightly with a smile, Ziva smirked at him.
"Next time I won't get caught" Alison corrected under her breath.
"Alison we work at NCIS, and there everyone is considered family. There's Abby, Sophie, Tim and Gibbs who are like aunts and uncles. Sophie has a daughter of her own, her name is Emily and she's six. They're doing this program as well, so you might meet a few other children. Oh and Tim has a younger sister Sarah, she's in college, but when she does visit you will, have fun" Ziva said, causing Alison to brighten she liked hanging out with other kids.
"When can we go to NCIS?" Alison asked sounding very excited, she's never been to a federal agency before.
"Maybe tomorrow, we need to pick up Noah soon. You both need to rest and to get oriented with the area" Ziva said, Alison looked down at her pizza and groaned.
"I'm done, can we go now?" Alison announced she only had one bite of her pizza and a few sips of her Coke; they didn't leave that easily. Alison knew they never would anyway.
Abby is in the kitchen making macaroni and cheese for the kids who are exploring the house and backyard. Tara, on the other hand is quicker than her siblings so she wanders throughout the neighborhood. The backyard is really cool they have a tree house in the process. Young Tara sees a group of kids playing on the other side of the road; not caring enough to look both ways, she prepares to go across. That is until; Abby comes storming out her green eyes narrowed.
"Tara, what are you doing?" Abby demanded with her hands on her hips.
"I want to play with them" Tara complained, she knows that she shouldn't complain on her first day, but it looks like so much fun.
"You need to tell me, when you're going somewhere" Abby said while Tara played with her hair; twirling it.
"That's stupid, I'm right over there. You can still see me" Tara said angrily as she kicked a piece of the grass, feeling weird with most of the kids, watching the two of them.
"Tara, hun, I know it may seem dumb, but it's important for us to know for the future. Is that clear?" Abby declared very sternly as she leads the eight year old back inside, after seeing the steaming water start to become high.
"Crystal" Tara said happily, in her mind though she really wanted to go over to the other side without feeling like a baby in the pits of her stomach one of her new plans is to sneak over there. But, then again, she hasta be really good or else they'll hate them and send them back, well that's what Tara and Haley think so...
