Gibbs watched the young girl as she walked towards the coffin with a single red rose. The rest of the team had also noticed the young girl and was wondering who she was. They continued to watch her as she dropped the red rose and watched it as it fell. They heard a sob escape from her lips. Gibbs was surprised how his heart constricted at the sound
The young girl straightened up and tried to compose herself; wiping away the tears on her face. Once she thought she looked presentable she walked towards the team, everyone sent her a forced smile.
"S..Special Agent Gibbs" she stuttered
"Yes?" He said gently
"My mom asked me to give this to you, when she died" A sob escaped her lips and her shoulders shook a little as she handed Gibbs a white envelope. The team gasped at her words. They slowly looked at her face and took in the noticeable features that where similar to Jenny's. The red hair, the soft complexion, but what they also saw were her icy blue eyes.
"Thanks you" Gibbs said taking the letter.
"I'm sorry Sir, I have to go but it was nice meeting you" She said, She tried to smile at the team and failed as she walked away up towards the path that lead away from the cemetery.
"Gibbs, did you see her eyes?" Ducky questioned.
"She's mine Duck, I can feel it in my gut" He said watching her as she walked away. He looked down at the letter in his hands. He slowly opened it and took out the letter. He folded open the letter, not knowing what he was going to read.
She's yours Gibbs,
Look after her
Jenny
Gibbs read the letter through hoping it would somehow tell him more information but, nothing. He felt someone clasp his shoulder, he turned to his best friend
"Jethro, Jenny has left you the best possible treasure, don't lose it" Ducky said, Abby nodding beside him.
"Were here for you boss" Tony said as if it would help encourage him to do something other than just stand there. The truth was Gibbs didn't need any encouragement, he knew what he had to do.
Gibbs suddenly started running towards the slowly walking figure. As he got closer he could see the figure was crying heavily and had stopped trying to hide that she was.
"Miss Sheperd" Gibbs called as he got nearer. The figure stopped and slowly turned around. She looked past him and saw his team walking slowly towards them.
"Yes?" She whispered.
He held out the letter, "Read it" She looked at the letter being handed to her.
"Sir, I couldn't possibly do that, it's your letter" She sighed.
"Drop the sir," Gibbs said "please read the letter?" She shook her head and wiped her hands on her coat, she gently took the letter from Gibbs hand and opened it up. She also had to read the letter over and over again. A fresh batch of tears started running down her face. She looked up at Gibbs as she handed him back the letter. Not knowing what to do or say next she stood and stared at him.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs" He said holding out his hand. She seemed nervous at first but slowly held out her hand to shake his.
"Isabelle Sheperd" They gently shook hands. Isabelle looked him in the eyes and slowly smiled. It was the first proper smile she had felt on her lips for the last few weeks. He smiled back and did the next action totally on instinct. He gently pulled her arm and wrapped his arms around her slim body
"I'm gonna get you wet" She said tensing up a little,
"No problem" Gibbs chuckled. He felt her relax with his chuckle and lean against him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Gibbs heard his team coming up behind them. He felt Isabelle tense up a little, at the sound of their footsteps. He gently let go of her and turned around so she could see his team.
"Do you know who they are?" Gibbs whispered to Isabelle.
"I do but I think it may be better if you introduce them formally" She said with a small smile. Gibbs smiled and nodded in agreement.
"This is my best friend and medical examiner for NCIS, Dr Donald Mallard" Gibbs said indicating Ducky.
Ducky walked towards her and gently kissed her check. Isabelle blushed a little. "It's a pleasure to meet you my dear"
"You too Dr Mallard"
"Please call me Ducky" Isabelle smiled.
"This is Abigail Scutaro, my personal life medoler and the forensic scientist at NCIS"
"It's the only way to keep him under control" Abby said smiling as she wrapped Isabelle in a bear hug. " Please call my Abby, I hate Abigail"
"Ok Abby" Isabelle smiled as Abby released her.
"This is Timothy McGee, My personal computer problem fixer and a member of my team"
McGee blushed a little at Gibbs words and kissed Isabelle on the cheek. He looked and was acting extremely nervous and didn't know what to say.
"If your nervous Timothy, how do you think I feel?" Isabelle laughed slightly.
Everyone laughed at they could instantly see that she had Gibbs sense of humour.
"This is Ziva David, My personal weapons expert and a member of my team"
"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Sheperd" Ziva said formally
"Please call me Izzy" Ziva nodded and smiled.
"She is also the only woman Tony is really scared off" Gibbs whispered in her ear. Isabelle scoffed and tried to stop herself from laughing at Tonys puzzled face.
"This Anthony Dinozo, My personal Coffee fetcher and second in command in my team" Tony walked forward and sent her his classic womanising smile, Isabelle raised her eyebrows. Everyone smiled at the disappointed smile on Tonys face.
"Do you also have bad taste in coffee?" Tony asked grinning. Tony decided to be the real him, he guessed if she was anything like Gibbs she would see straight through it.
"I like it strong and black" Isabelle shrugged.
"You are defiantly related to Gibbs then" Tony said kissing her on the cheek. Isabelle looked at her father and smiled.
Isabelle looked at the people around her, they radiated love. If the last few weeks had taught Isabelle anything it was to not reget doing anything. Don't live wondering What if? So she decided to go for it and say what was on her mind.
"My mom always told me something about you guys"
"What's that?" Tony said now looking a little worried.
"That you guys are the best family anyone could wish for" She smiled blushing even more "She's right, that's if I could maybe a member of your family?" She said looked at the team.
Gibbs looked at his team, his family and saw their looks of approval. "You are now officially a member of our NCIS family" He said looking at his daughter.
"We will do the hazing ritual later" Tony said smiling. Isabelle suddenly looked very worried and looked at her father. Gibbs smiled.
Isabelle looked at Tony just in time to see Ziva punch him on the arm "Don't be mean"
"That bloody hurt sheesh" Tony said rubbing his arm and scowling at Ziva. McGee and Abby silently laughed to themselves.
Ducky walked towards Isabelle and opened him arms to her.
"Welcome to the craziest family in the world"
