Here is the next chapter, sorry it took so long to update it, I didn't have internet for a while. Anyways I found out the Cote is leaving the show which makes me very sad! Now there will be no Tony and Ziva getting together. I just hope they don't kill her off like they did they other women that left the show, so maybe she can come back at some point when they work things out. That is my wish anyways.
I would like to thank all of my followers including: PotterWeasley5, rmcfox, MAK-HGSS, 236, Blade of Ink.
A Second Chance
Chapter 10
Once the two women change back into their normal clothes they go to find Abby, they find her by the toys. She was looking at a whip type toy with feathers at the end.
"Abs, I don't really see Tim liking something like that" Ziva says as the two women walk over to her, Abby looks over at them at smirks
"Ziva you know what they say it's always the quite ones you have to watch out for." Ziva looks confused as Holly laughs. Ziva looks between the two women
"What does that mean?" The other two women say nothing
"Are you done Abby?" Holly asks changing the subject
"Almost I just wanted to get a few things. Maybe you should get something Holly" Abby smirks at her
"Abby Jethro is not into this kind of thing"
"Really? Like I said it always the quite ones you have to worry about. Why not try a whip?"
"Maybe some other time Abby."
"Ok" She picks up a few more things before the three of them pay for their things and leave. Ziva had been quite the whole time still trying to figure out what that meant. She would have to ask Tony but then he would want to know who they were talking about and if she told him then he would make fun of Tim and Ziva didn't want that. Maybe she would ask Jenny. The three women walk back to the car and drive back to Gibbs house; she confirmed the plans with Ziva about watching the kids the next night. Holly pulls the car into the driveway and frowns.
"What's wrong?" Abby asks
"Do either of you know who's car that is?" Both women look at the car sitting behind Gibbs truck.
"No" They both say, grabbing their bags they slowly head up to the house, since the team is not working Ziva doesn't have her gun on her; it was in the car which Tony had the keys to. Holly and Ziva were being a little more careful then Abby who walked a head of them opening the door.
"Hello" Abby says
"Abby!"
"Ziva, you are over reacting if there was something wrong we would have heard something by now."
"Mommy!" A little boy throws it's self at Holly's legs, bending down she picks up LJ kissing him
"Where are daddy and the others?"
"Yard, mommy guess who's here?" The little boy asks very excited, setting their bags down they walk to the back door.
"Jackson!" Abby yells running towards the older man who has Anna on his lap with Gibbs next to him holding Shelby.
"Abby, it's wonderful to see you again" After hugging Abby Jackson walks towards Ziva.
"Ziva it's wonderful to see you again, Leroy tells me you are going to have a baby. Congratulation." Ziva smiles pulling back a little from their hug.
"It's nice to see you too Jackson and yes Tony and I are having a baby." Kissing her on the cheek like he did with Abby, before he turns to the Holly still holding LJ.
"And you must be the mother to these three wonderful children." He smiles at her, Holly just looks at him
"Who are you?"
"Mommy this Pop Pop" Holly's eyes widen at the comment looking down at the 2 year old.
"Pop Pop?" Holly is very confused, she has never met this man before and either have the kids. And yet they are calling him Pop Pop.
"Hol" Looking over, Jethro was walked up next to her still holding Shelby
"Jethro, who is this?"
"I would like you to me meet my dad, Jackson Gibbs"
"Your father"
"I didn't know he was coming Hol"
"It is my fault, do you be blaming Leroy here; I just deceded I was coming this morning and didn't call him"
"Oh…well…..hello, Hollis Mann" She says putting her hand out between them, Jackson just laughs pulling her and LJ into a hug
"We are family now and families hug." After a few minutes Gibbs breaks them apart
"Dad, let her go so we can sit down and talk."
"Alright" Once he releases her he walks back over by the others, Gibbs moves closer to her
"You ok?" She looks at him
"You have a father?" Gibbs laughs, kissing the side of her head
"Yes, you don't think I was born this way. I was a baby and a little boy" He smirks
"Of course not! You never said anything so I thought your parents had died"
"My mom has."
"I'm sorry Jethro" Leaning up she kisses him on the lips
"It's ok, glade to have my dad back in my life" Holly raises an eyebrow at this
"I will tell you another time"
"Ok"
"Daddy, down" The couple looks down at their daughter
"Ok Shelby" After being put down the little girl runs towards the others, soon after LJ wants to be put down following his sister
"You sure you are ok?" Gibbs asks pulling her into a hug

From the other side of the yard, Jackson watch has his son pulls Hollis into a hug and kisses the side of her head; making her smile. This made Leroy smile, a real smile he had not seen since before Shannon and Kelly died. There were times after they died that he thought his son was happy again and maybe he was at least for a little while but as each marriage ended he got gruffer and gruffer. Spending all his time at work or in his basement drinking, so he was very surprised when he knocked on his son's door and three little kids answered.
FLASHBACK:
Jackson knocked on Leroy's door; listening to what you thought was little footsteps. No that can't be right. Maybe I have the wrong house, backing up a little he looks up at the house. No this is the right house. Before he can think any more the door opens and two blonde little girls and a brown haired little boy open the door
"Who are you?" The little boy asked
"Um..."
"Kids, who is at the door?" Comes Leroy's voice from the house
"Don't know daddy" One of the little girls yells back, next he hears running, Leroy comes to stop behind the kids
"Dad?" Leroy was very surprised
"Hello Leroy"
"What are you doing here?"
"Gibbs are the ladies back yet?" Came Tony's voice before he and McGee came walking to the door
"Jackson!" Tony says smiling
"Mr. Gibbs"
"Tim, how many times do I have to tell you its Jackson?"
"Sorry, Jackson"
"Leroy can I come in?"
"Sure, kids move out of the way"
"Daddy?"
"Yes, Shelby"
"That your daddy?"
"Yes, this is my dad"
"Are these you're kids Leroy?" Leroy sighs
"Yeah they are?"
"When did you get married again?"
"Dad! I didn't get married again. It's a long story, why don't we go out back till the women are back" Jackson bends down as much as he can so he is level with the kids. They are beautiful kids, the boy has Leroy's eyes while the two girls are blue they are slightly lighter. Their mother must be beautiful
"You guys can call me Pop Pop" None of them say anything they look up at their father who smiles down at them slightly nodding his head
"Ok, pop pop come on" One of the girls grabs his hand pulling him through the house, Jackson laughs
"What's your name sweet girl?"
"Anna" The girl says smiling up at him.
"What are your sister and brother names?"
"Shel and LJ"
"Shel?"
"Shelby" Leroy answers
"What does LJ stand for?" Leroy smirks at him
"Leroy Jethro"
"You always said you wouldn't have a JR"
"I didn't name them" Jackson gives him a look
"I will tell you once we get settled" The family walks out back where Tim and Tony are already sitting in chairs talking or bickering is more like it
"DiNozzo, McGee! Don't make me head slap you" Both men freeze look at each other than their boss
"Yes, boss" both men say. Once they are seated Shelby claims on Leroy's lap while Anna gets on Jackson, he is surprised at first but helps here up. LJ sits in between them.
"Now Leroy what is the story with these three little ones? How old are they?
"They are almost 3 years old."
"Who is their mother? I don't remember you being with someone three years ago?"
"I was with their mother for a few months before she left do to a conflict we had."
"And you let her go when she was pregnant with your children! Your mother and I taught you better than that Leroy"
"Dad I didn't know she was pregnant. We didn't plan this to happen"
"Leroy.." Before any more is said LJ yells
"Mommy!" And takes off running in the house…
END FLASHBACK
"Let's go over with the others"
"Jet, your father is not going to like me when I tell him the story about the kids"
"Hol, we will tell him together and he will have to get over that. He has three more grandchildren and I can tell he adores them."
"Alright" Leaning up kissing him lightly on the lips; before grabbing his hand leading him to the others.
"How was your shopping trip?" Tony asks as the couple sits down. The women laugh
"What?"
"You guys will find out later I am sure" Ziva answers
"Oh really" He answers giving her one of his DiNozzo smiles, Ziva rolls her eyes. McGee leans in whispering something in Abby's ear, which she just laughs at.
"Well Leroy, I was right their mother is beautiful." Jackson says making Holly, to everyone's surprise blush.
"Thanks" Jackson laughs.
"Now why don't you two tell me how you got together and why I just found out about these little ones" The couple looks at each other then back at Jackson and the others.
"We meet during a case about 3 years ago."
"I remember that." Tony added, turning to Ziva
"Zi, I asked you who she was and you said Gibbs 4th ex-wife" Ziva hits him on the arm giving him a look
"My 4th ex-wife, Ziver?" Ziva looks away; Gibbs holds his look for another second before he smiles at her.
"It's ok Ziver."
"Ok so what happen next?"
"Well we were both hard headed and nothing happen till the next case we worked together." Holly added
"But you could totally tell something was going on" Abby says
"Abbs"
"Gibbs! You could."
"Yeah, we really noticed on the second case we worked together" Tony says
"How?" Gibbs asks, he really didn't like to talk about his personal life but it was his father and his family
"Well you would let her go first"
"Go first?" Holly asks
"Well, yeah coming out of the elevator, a room."
"Being a real gentleman." Abby says excitedly.
"I am always a gentleman." Gibbs gruffly
"You better be, your mother and I raised you to be that way" Gibbs mumbles under his breath
"I know dad."
"Anyways back to the story"
"We agreed that we wouldn't let anything happen until after the case, right Jethro" Holly looks over at him who looks back at her smirking
"That was what Ducky meant then" Everyone looks at Tony
"What did Duck say, DiNozzo?"
"Well he said something like I know Gibbs always gets his man, but those two are unusually motivated to find Sharif" Gibbs just gives him a hard look while Holly looks down at her lap.
"Ok how about we just skip the intimate parts of this story and get down to how Leroy just found out about the kids" Jackson says after a few minutes.
"So we dated for a few months before things went downhill"
"Now that I think about it Holly left right after we met one of your ex-wives" Tony gins remembering that day, Ziva hits him.
"Tony!"
"What, you have to admit it was very inserting to see Gibbs talking to an ex-wife, ex-girlfriend I think and the current girlfriend all talking together and in the bullpen no less."
"DiNozzo!"
"Yes Boss?"
"Ziva" He nodes his head towards him, getting the idea Ziva Gibbs slaps him
"Ow what was that for?"
"Getting in my personal life and I can't reach you."
"I am just stating what we all saw" Gibbs glares at him
"Jethro stop he is right, it's not like they were not there when that happen"
"Wait which ex-wife?" Jackson asks, his son hardly calls him and never talks about his personal life this might be the only way to find things out.
"Does it matter dad? You have met all of them"
"Yes it does"
"Stephanie" Tim answers
"Timmy!" Abby hits him
"What was that for?"
"This is Gibbs and Holly's story let them tell it" Tim grumbles under his breath, Abby just glares at him.
"Abby why you hit Tim?" Anna asks
"Umm…"
"Anna hitting is bad, you should never hit anyone"
"But why dose daddy?" LJ asks
"This is all you Jethro"
"I will tell you when you're older, your mother is right no hitting" Gibbs gives a glare to Abby, seeing this LJ and Anna give her one too.
"Oh boy, I am in big trouble to get three glares."
"How about we hear more about this story?" Jackson says
" So anyways after we got off of work we had talked about going out so we got ready he picked me up, got some beer and we ended up back at Jethro's house in the basement." Holly picks up the story
"And there was someone in the basement waiting for us well Jethro"
"Who was it?" Tim asks
"Stephanie"
"Oh no"
"She said something about bring over his dog tags or something right Jethro?"
"Yeah, said she has had then for years and was just bringing them back"
"So Jethro takes the dog tags and walks her out to her car, I am left in the basement alone. I see a tape player and think Jethro here was going to play some music like the romantic guy he is under all the gruffness."
"Holly" She gives him a look
"When I press play music does come on someone is playing the piano it's really good too. Then I hear voices."
"Who was playing?" Ziva asks, she thinks she know who was
"Kelly was, it was a message they sent me while I was overseas. I came back down the stairs right at the end sitting there listening to what they were saying" Holly rubs up and down his arm
"I turn with tears in my eyes to see him on the step with his head down looking so sad. I went over to him leaned down kissing him on the cheek sat down next to him and asked him who they were and then he told me the story."
"Daddy who Kelly?" Shelby asks
"Shel, Kelly was your half-sister"
"Where is she?"
"Up in heaven with her mommy"
"Oh, why?"
"A bad man hurt them and they died"
"Oh"
"I will be right back" Gibbs gets up walking back into the house
Thank you for all the reviews! I love to hear what everyone thinks about my story.
Mmkbrook: The reason I put the jealousy between Jenny and Holly was because if you watch season 4 ep: Sharif Returns (I think that is the one) when Gibbs, Holly and Jenny are in her office talking about the case I feel Jenny is deff. Jealouse of her and Gibbs and when they leave and are walking down to the bull pen, the two women look at each other as they walk away and Gibbs just stands there with a smirk on his face. I laugh every time I watch that part, that is what I thought anyways.
