"I would love to. How about I come Sunday morning about 7 that be ok?" Jackson asked.

"Be perfect. See ya later." Gibbs said getting into his old childhood car and driving in front of the car.

7: PM

NCIS BULL PEN

Ducky came up just as the team sans Samantha was coming off the elevator. He leaned in and whispered to Samantha who was working on her computer. "Dare I ask how it went?" he asked.

Samantha glanced in the direction of the team and noticed the banter was in full force. "Sure." She said.

"How was the trip?" Ducky asked.

"Case is solved. So it's good." Kate said.

"Good to hear." Ducky said.

Tim eyed a quiet Samantha. "Where is Gracie?" He asked.

"Stacy and Michael's. Stacy was gonna take her and get a Halloween costume." Samantha said.

"Ohhh I bet she'll be a kitty cat." Abby said.

"No. Pumpkin." McGee said.

"I got an idea why don't you call and ask dear Samantha so Timothy Anthony and Abigail don't drive us all crazy." Ducky said.

Samantha smirked picking up her land line and dialing Stacey's number. "Hello?" Stacey said.

"Hey. It's me." Samantha said.

"Oh hey. What's up?" Stacey asked.

"There's a debate in the office about a certain little girl's Halloween costume." Samantha said.

"Ahhh. Well that is gonna have to be a surprise for all of them." Stacey said.

"Ok. I'll pass it on. I'll be there in an hour to get her." Samantha said.

"Um Sam Jethro is getting her. Said he had something he wanted to do with her." Stacey said.

"Oh ok. Well then guess I won't see ya in an hour." Samantha said.

"Guess not see ya later." Stacey said laughing.

Samantha hung up seeing 5 people looking at her. "She said it's a surprise." Samantha said. "Aww man. I wanna know." Abby whined..

"Wait wasn't Gibbs right behind us?" Kate asked.

"Apparently not. Stacey said he was there picking Gracie up." Samantha said.

"He probably just wants to get some alone time with her." Tony said smirking.

SAMANTHA'S APARTMENT

Samantha was sitting on the couch writing out a report that she couldn't get finished Friday afternoon. She was startled when a knock came at her door. She put her report down and went to the door. She smiled when saw Michael standing there. "Hey Kid. Mind if I come in?" Mike asked.

"Yeah sure. Come on in want some coffee?" Samantha asked.

"Definitely." Mike said closing the door.

Samantha came back in with a mug of coffee. "So what brings you here?" Samantha asked sitting down.

"I wanted a favor." Mike said looking at the file.

"No I am not dating any of your co workers." Samantha said.

Mike laughed. "No. Nothing like that. I wondered if you would sing with me tomorrow in church." Mike said.

"I would love to Uncle Mike." Samantha said smiling.

"Good." Mike said getting up and hugging her.

"Ok well then I'm gonna go and get something to eat with Stacey and Heather. Wanna come?" Mike asked.

"No I need to work on this report before Monday. You go have a good dinner." Samantha said.

Mike kissed her cheek. "Bye." He said leaving.

DC BAPTIST CHURCH

Jackson Jethro and Tony all came in and sat down in front of Sandy who was talking to Stacey. "Hey ladies." Tony said hugging both of them.

"Hey Tony." Sandy said.

Jackson looked at the women smiling at them. "Jethro are you gonna introduce us?" Jackson asked.

"Oh sorry forgetfulness. Stacey Dinozzo, Sandy Morris this is my dad Jackson Gibbs. This Stacey Dinozzo my sister in law. And Sandy is the youth director here at the church." Gibbs said.

"It's nice to meet you both. Mind me asking are you Tony's sister?" Jackson asked.

"No sir I am married to his older brother Michael." Stacey said.

"Speaking of which where is Michael and Heather?" Tony asked.

"Heather is in back with Sue helping her set up for children's church and Michael is in the choir room with the rest of em. Vince asked him to join Wednesday night." Stacey said.

"Samantha is back there as well." Sandy said.

"Cool. So we'll just sit out here and bug you two." Tony said sitting down.

Ducky Gerald Kate Abby and Tim came in. "Hey all." Abby said hugging Jackson.

"Hi Abby." Tony said hugging Abby.

Ducky stood stunned at seeing Jackson Gibbs. "Dr Mallard have you been keeping my boy in line?" Jackson asked.

"I've been doing my best. He don't make it easy." Ducky said.

"Don't let him fool you Papa Gibbs. He has help." Abby said smiling.

"Oh yes I do have help." Ducky said.

Everything was cut short by Vince standing up as the choir came out. "Welcome to DC Baptist church. If you would stand and let us sing 'This is the day'." Vince said.

Everyone stood. After the whole congregation had sang and the choir had sang. Vince stood. "This girl who is gonna sing can sing. Now I don't know about the guy singing with her." Vince said.

"You ain't the only one." Samantha said taking the Mic. from Doug.

"Ladies and Gentlemen Samantha Dinozzo and Mike Dinozzo." Vince said bumping into Samantha's arm as he went off stage.

"I chose a song called 'He died by choice' Cause it makes me realize we have a wonderful God." Mike said.

"Amen." Came from around the church.

"If Doug will push the play button me and Samantha will sing. Or should I say Samantha will sing I'll just bellow." Mike said causing laughter.

Abby who was sitting on the other side of Jackson spoke quietly. "You're in for a treat." She said. Mike started singing and then when Samantha did everyone took notice. When they finished everyone clapped. Mike and Samantha made their way to their seats Samantha got in beside Sandy and Stacey. Gracie climbed into Gibbs lap and smiled at her Mommy.

1 HOUR LATER

Once the service was over everyone was gathering their stuff. Tim came up behind Samantha and hugged her. "You sang wonderfully." Tim said.

"Oh thanks. Mike didn't too bad himself." Samantha said smirking at her Uncle.

"See Honey Samantha gave me good reviews." Mike said.

"Good." Stacey said rolling her eyes.

"I must say this young man here was quite right. I only heard one other woman sing that way and that was my late wife." Jackson said smiling.

Samantha looked at him and knew instantly who he was. "Well if she was the one responsible for making your son who he is today then I am honored to sound like her." Samantha said smiling.

"Jackson Gibbs. Most people call me Jack." Jackson said holding his hand out.

"Samantha Dinozzo. Most people call me Sam or Sammie. Either is fine. And the little girl dancing with Gerald is Gracie my daughter." Samantha said pointing to where Gerald was tickling Gracie.

"How about we all go out for lunch. Then Gibbs' dad and can get to know his son's extended family." Ducky said.

"I must get back to Stillwater." Jack said.

"Aww we wanted to find out about Gibbs' past." Abby said.

"Some other time. I would love to come for the holidays if it's alright with you Leroy." Jack said.

"That would be wonderful." Jethro said.

Gracie came over wanting to be picked up by Samantha. "Mommy who is that man?" Gracie asked.

Samantha picked her up smiling. "This is Poppa's dad. Can you say Hi?" Samantha asked.

"Hi." Gracie said shyly.

"Well aren't you a pretty girl. Tell me how old are you?" Jack asked.

"I'm 5." Gracie said.

'Tell him when your birthday is Gracie." Tony said.

"My birthday is September 2nd. Poppa's birthday." Gracie said smiling at Gibbs.

"Is that so. Do you and Poppa share a cake?" Jack asked.

"No. I have my own." Gracie said causing everyone to smile.

"Well I must be off. Leroy don't be a stranger call me." Jack said.

"Yes sir I will." Jethro said hugging Jack.

When the broke apart Jack turned to everyone.

"It was nice to meet all of you." He said.

"Same here. Don't be a stranger. Between all of us we have some place for you to stay." Ducky said.

"Thank you. Gracie you take care of your Poppa for me. Can you do that?" Jack asked.

"Yes I can. Mommy can help." Gracie said.

"I'm sure she can." Jack said smiling at Samantha.

Jack left the church leaving everyone smiling. Jethro was watching the door when he felt a hand on his arm. "You ok?" Tony asked.

"Yeah. All I ever wanted was him to be happy for me. I think today he finally was." Jethro said.

"I'm sure he was. He seemed to know that we were together when I got there." Tony said.

"Yeah he did. He sure took a shine to Samantha." Jethro said.

"Everyone does. It's the Dinozzo charm." Tony said smirking.

"Poppa are you sad?" Gracie asked from where her and Samantha were.

"No Babe I am not sad. I am happy." Gibbs said taking her from Samantha and kissing her cheek.

"Really happy." Gibbs said lacing his fingers with Tony's and leaving the church.
