Star and Dante looked up from their mother's chest, swiveled round, and stood up with a smile on their faces.
"I'm Dante Raphael Sheppard and this is my sister," "Star Rosetta Sheppard," Both bowed and said in unison, "So you must Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Anthony DiNozzo, Timothy McGee, and Officer Ziva David." Only Dante said 'Da·vid' while Star said 'dah· veed '. Star turned to her brother and said
"umm it pronounced Dah· veed brother." Dante looked at her confused,
"But its spelled D-A-V-I-D sister." Star sighed knowing spelling/language was not her brother's forte
"Yeah but the 'a' is rounded and the 'I' is a long a 'e' sound. " Star tried to explain but as she saw her brother eyes he still was not getting it. "Okay you do know that just because is spelled a certain way doesn't mean that it's always pronounced that particular way. " Dante looked at her with awe.
"Really is that true Star?" Star nodded wondering why her brother didn't know this.
"He's wasn't there when you learned it he was sick." Jenny said answering Stars unsaid question. Star nodded and then turned to Jenny.
"Mom I'm starting to get cold." Jenny took her and her brother's hands and took them to the showers.
While they were gone everyone turned to look at Ziva.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ziva frowned and Tim shrugged.
"Didn't you know about them? I mean you worked with her in Cairo right?" Ziva walked to her chair and swiveled it to her desk.
"No I did not know about them. She didn't tell me and I didn't ask." Then they all turned to Gibbs.
"Boss did you know that she had kids?" Gibbs shook his head and thought, 'I wonder why she didn't tell me?'
"Well if she didn't tell us she probably has a good reason for it," Gibbs went to his desk and sat down looked up and saw them just staring at him. "Hey get back to work!"
Okay I learned not to make it up as I go along. So from now on I will write it down first.
Please R&R chapter 3 is on its way
