Disclaimer: I don't NCIS. That belongs to D. Bellisario

When she finally turned around after a couple moment of standing a little stunned, "ugh who are you?"

"Me? I'm… lets go over here and talk," I dragged her to a corner on the side of the building and out of ear shot. I finished my sentence.

"I'm Sophia Eleanor-May Jones. Technically your niece."

"So you're Henry and Sarah's daughter?"

"Exactly and my dad is kind of coming over here so…"

"Right I get it. Here's my temporary cell number. Call me when you can."

"Gotcha by Aunt Jen," she walked off and I put the slip of paper in my back pocket and turned around just as my dad and Jessi walked up to me.

"Who was that Sophia?"

"Oh the was a teacher I had back in 2nd grade. I haven't seen her in awhile so I wanted to see what she had been up to."

"Alright."

"When are y'all leaving?" I asked putting my hands on my hips.

"Tomorrow morning and I think that and I have a feeling you can handle the responsibility since Jessi really never been to D.C. and I want to her to have the full experience so I will leave Jessi with you and I'll go back to Connecticut."

"Really seriously dad!!!!"

"Yeah," we both hugged dad and starting laughing.

Three days later Jessi was in the shower and I really needed to call Aunt Jen. I found the slip of paper that had her cell number on it, flipped open my phone and dialed it.

"Hello?" I heard a voice on the other line say and I knew it was her.

"Hey um Aunt Jen this is Sophia. Whatcha doin'?

"Nothing much really I am here in a hotel room having nothing to do but read books and watch T.V.,"

"Well my little foster sister Jessi is staying with me. My dad left a couple of days ago… What hotel are you staying at?"

She told me and I almost went hog wild. I told that once Jessi was out of the shower and ready we would go and see her. She agreed with the little idea.

Once Jessi was done getting ready we headed down to Aunt Jen's hotel room; Jessi kept on asking me who were we going to see. I just said 'You'll have to wait and see.' Aunt Jen let Jessi and I in and there wasn't much in the room that differed to my hotel room since it was a floor above and in the same hotel.

"So Aunt Jen how long are you going to be in D.C., and when are you going to tell Gibbs the you're alive 'cause he already kind of has a hunch that you are."

"Very funny Sophia," she replied.

"I know right," I gave her a grin and shrugged me shoulders. Jessi gave both of us a little 9 going on 10 year old giggle.

Aunt Jen walked over to Jessi and bent down to make eye contact, "Hey Jessi my name's Jenny, over in that drawl over there are some of those wafers with the cream in the middle. They're my favorite."

"Really they're mine too!!!" I thought that was sort of weird that they both like them and I hated those kinds of wafers ever since I was little.

Jessi went over to the drawl, got the wafers, turned on the television, and sat down in front of it, while Aunt Jen and I sat down on the bed.

"So Sophia what's going on in your life. You got a boyfriend?" she raised her eyebrows at the last part and I just shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"Funny, no I don't have a boyfriend. Actually never have. I guess the guys are so struck by my enticing beauty that they are too chicken to ask me out. Now you on the other hand have definitely had at least one boyfriend. And said boyfriend was for a short while fiancé so I have heard."

"Cute, how did you…?"

"Gibbs actually told me himself. He had changed after your 'supposed-death' and he opens up a little bit easier than I'm guessing he did before. This was mean okay like what happened was I got a call from him saying him and his team wanted to meet me for coffee, well when I got there it was just him at the coffee shop and he denied that he said or implied that the team was coming with him but I let him slide, he told me that you guys were engaged and showed me the letter that you left for him to read at your house…"

"Seriously he did that. Are you sure this is Leroy Jethro Gibbs we're talking about?"

"Oh so that's what the L stands for in his name. Okay I didn't I knew that. I'm a little ditsy d'day. Anyway he can't stop thinking about you either," I immediately saw tears start to well-up in her eyes; I just simply grabbed her hand and gave it a light squeeze. She replied with a weak smile. I gave her one as well.

About an hour later Jessi had fallen asleep against the end of Aunt Jen's bed while watching T.V. and my phone started to ring I looked at the caller I.D.; it was Gibbs. I showed her who it was and she nodded signaling me I could answer without her freaking out.

"Good afternoon Agent Gibbs."

"Good afternoon to you too Sophia."

"I see we acquired phone matters now didn't we? DiNozzo told me that you were I wouldn't say rude when talking on the phone but…"

"I get it Sophia. Ha, ha, ha. 'Hey DiNozzo come over here. I need to tell you something. Come on.'" I heard within a couple seconds two slaps and DiNozzo say 'Thank you boss, but what was the second slap for?'

Gibbs replied to DiNozzo 'Well the second slap was for Sophia, even though the next time I see her she will no doubt be getting another head slap anyway but I just felt like giving you two head slaps anyways. Now go away and get back to work'

I started to laugh and mouthed to Aunt Jen that I would tell her later what I was laughing at. Gibbs tried to convince me to come to NCIS but I said that I prior plans and I would come to NCIS tomorrow so no need for them to miss me too much. He laughed at that and I had an alternative motive for going to NCIS tomorrow. Once my phone call concluded I turned around and out of sheer habit apparently Jessi sleep-walked to Aunt Jen's bed and Aunt Jen had curled up with her and fallen asleep as well. I cocked my head to the side and sighed deeply grinning at the two red-head. It would be so bad having Jessi as a little cousin because she is already my foster sister but who could possibly be the father? Gibbs maybe?

I thought to myself and laughed silently 'Maybe wouldn't be the right word. Definitely would be the right word to use.' I laughed silently again thinking of Aunt Jen, Gibbs, and Jessi as one little family.

I crept back to my hotel room after leaving Aunt Jen and Jessi a little note and called Abby and told her to come to my hotel room as soon as possible.
