HI! Second update this week! Just so you know, the last chap was writen by Gretchen but her authors note didn't show up but she wrote it cause she was sick! So this is the longest chapter yet!! And thanks of the four reviews for the last chap.

Wetting her lips, Mandy took it. "Hello?"

"Uh, hi. Are you, um, are you my sister?" asked Tony very nervously.

"Um half-sister I guess." replied Mandy. She started getting really nervous when she saw Ziva starting to walk out of the room but she didn't say anything.

When Ziva left the room, she went to the living room and started wondering what they were talking about. Sure she could have stayed in the room but she wanted to give them some privacy even if she could only hear half of the conversation. She was pretty sure the conversation was awkward enough already. After about ten minutes of waiting for Mandy, Ziva couldn't stand waiting any more. She got up and walked down the hallway towards the bedroom. Right when Ziva was about to walk into the bedroom, Mandy walked out just hanging up the phone.

"So how did it go?" asked Ziva curiously.

"Okay I guess. He said that he was coming home early. I guess he's not sure what to think. I mean, when I found out I had a half-brother I was really confused, and it was my mom that told me. Not him himself. Let just say I wasn't expecting him to defy Gibbs orders and catch the first flight home."

"Wait, what did you say about Gibbs?!"

"Tony said that he was coming home but that Gibbs was really really mad at him because he was leaving in the middle of the investigation or something like that. I also think he said something about a 'Gibbs Hit'?" Mandy said unsure. Ziva started to chuckle slightly because one: Mandy actually used air quotes and two: the look on Mandy's face when she said 'Gibbs Hit.'

"A Gibbs Hit is where he smacks you on the back of the head. It's a common occurrence if your on his team and very common if your Tony." Ziva said explaining. The confused look on Mandy's face then went away. " So Tony is coming home then?"

"Yeah" replied Mandy.

"When?'

"He said that he would get the next flight. He said he'd probably take the red eye flight so he would be at Regan International tomorrow morning."

"Okay, is there anything you want to do tonight?" inquired Ziva .

"No, I think I just want to go to bed. I've had a long day with shopping and then talking to Tony. Are you still going to work tomorrow?'

"Yes, I have to. I guess we'll have to pick Tony up at the airport and then go to NCIS. Remember you told Abby you would be there tomorrow so you could meet her."

"Oh yeah. Good night Ziva."

"Good night Mandy."

Mandy went to her room and changed into her pajamas and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. When she finally got into her bed she couldn't sleep. All she could do was think about the next day, one of the most important days of her life. It was going to be the day that would decided that are families still close if they don't know about each other. After about five minutes of just laying there, she heard Ziva's cell phone ring. Though she could only hear Ziva's half of the conversation, she knew who she was talking to.

"David"

"Hi… Yeah it's true… she is staying with me…she's really nice…she's thirteen… you need me to pick you up at the airport?… sure seven o'clock… you know she's going with me to pick you up too right?… she has to come to work with me tomorrow… what are you going to do about Gibbs… oh, so he understands now? So your going to work the case from DC?… yeah … see you tomorrow… bye."

That made Mandy even more nervous. He had to ask Ziva what she was like. With thoughts of the next day swimming in her head, she finally fell asleep almost two hours after she had originally got in bed. Only shortly after hanging up with Tony, Ziva had gone to bed.

The next morning Ziva woke at five thirty so she would have time to go for her run. When she got back around six fifteen, she woke up Mandy went to talk her shower.

Mandy had woke up at four thirty because she was so nervous. She heard Ziva get up and go for her run. Mandy had just laid on her bed staring at the ceiling. When she heard Ziva come back she pretended to be asleep so when Ziva told her to wake up she wouldn't know how nervous Mandy really was about meeting Tony.

When Ziva got out of the shower she found Mandy dressed in some of her new clothes making toast.

"You ready to go?" Mandy asked.

"Yeah."

They left Ziva's apartment at quarter to seven to pick Tony up from the airport and then to go to NCIS. When they got to the airport, Ziva parked her Mini Cooper and they got out. They easily found the gate where Tony would be coming from.

AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 603 FROM MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN NOW DISEMBARKING blared the loud speaker.

Mandy's breathe hitched in her throat and she thought she was going to faint when she saw the man that looked a lot like her.
