It took a good half an hour before everyone had a chance to meet and say hello to Alexandria. Her new sisters were the most reluctant to let her go. She also met her niece and nephew.

The Senior Staff were all shocked but she immediately liked them. They didn't seem to treat her like a porcelain doll. They sent a few jokes towards Zoey and her but none of it was malicious.

Finally, Alex was seated between her parents and everyone had sat down again. Ron took back over the briefing.

"As I said before, we completed the DNA testing at the NCIS headquarters. Astonishingly, there was a second DNA test which became advisable. I only bring this up because the two others involved promised Zoey that it could be told. Amazingly enough, the lead agent at NCIS, a Leroy Jethro Gibbs, was almost an exact physical match – as close as Alex and Zoey – with our own Agent Donovan."

Everyone looked over at Agent Sam. He said, "I found out this morning. Somehow, we're cousins. He's checking with his father because he didn't know he had any uncles."

Zoey could only say, "Wow." She then turned to her mother and father. "We told them we might call them over today 'cause they were a lot of help. I thought they could be part of the party. Leo thought it might be a good idea. Is that okay?"

Jed looked over at his wife who was still latched onto her new youngest daughter. She nodded, looking interested in meeting the trio. Jed smiled at her and grinned at Zoey. "Yeah, kiddo. Go ahead. I look forward to meeting them."

Zoey looked over to Leo who nodded over to Agent Sam. He excused himself and went to make the calls.

Ron took back over. "As part of the investigation as to how this all came to be, what we determined was that another woman, who was a nurse at the hospital, gave birth approximately the same time as you did. When her daughter died of SID, she used her inside knowledge of the hospital to switch her own baby with your daughter before it was found out by the medical personnel on hand. Apparently, your daughter was of sufficient likeness to pull it off. The woman, a Ms. Anya Kohler, got away clean. Unfortunately, two weeks after, she was accidentally struck by a car and killed. She had no family and her baby's father was unknown. As a result, Alexandria Kohler was put into the system at that time. I will leave it to her to tell you of her life beyond that."

Jed nodded at his Secret Service agent and looked over at his daughter. Alex obviously didn't want to say much right then, but that was okay. "Thanks, Ron."

"Just doing my job, Sir. Zoey was the one who started this all. Without her, it might never have come out."

Jed nodded and motioned to Zoey who came over and sat down. With Abbey holding onto Alex for dear life, Jed thought it appropriate to do so with Zoey.

Gibbs pulled up to the White House right behind Ducky's Morgan. Abby had come with Ducky. The three were waved in and told to go to the East Entrance. The three were directed where to park and arrived to the Security desk at the same time.

"Ducky! Abby! Agent Gibbs!"

The three looked over and saw Zoey and Gina waiting beyond the check in point. Abby waved.

The security guard said, "Okay. All weapons need to be signed in here. You can retrieve them when you leave.

Gibbs wanted to grumble but it was the White House. He casually pulled his service revolver out and placed it within the bucket. He then reached down and pulled his backup piece from his ankle and put it in the bucket. He reached to his side and pulled the knife he carried and its sheath and placed those in the bucket as well. He then pulled a second knife from his back and placed that within the bucket.

The security guard, knowing that this was a Federal Agent, wasn't surprised. He said with some amusement, "A bit paranoid?"

Gibbs smiled a little and shook his head. "Marine."

The guard chuckled quietly and moved to wand Gibbs over. Abby, meanwhile, pulled a much more dainty, though still dangerous, stiletto knife from her person. The second guard raised his eyebrows. She said with a grin, "Rule 9."

"Rule 9?"

Gibbs, who was just finished being waved through called out, "Never go anywhere without a knife."

Ducky chuckled when it was his turn. "I left it all in my medical bag in the car. I thought it might be more appropriate to come empty-handed."

The Security Guard chuckled and said, "Yes. Thank you, Doctor Mallard."

Zoey grabbed Abby's hand and led them to a room very near the East Room. Zoey marched right in. The group found the president getting his blood pressure checked by a Navy Admiral with his wife and daughter looking on.

Jed Bartlett looked over and said, before anyone could ask, "Just a routine check to make sure I haven't sprung a seam somewhere. Not to worry."

Zoey smiled at her father and replied, "And are you leak free?"

The President looked over at the Doctor who said, "120 over 80, 98.5 degrees. You're fine, Mr. President." Jed nodded at the man as he stood up.

"I'd protest about all the fuss but it's Doctor's orders. And when the Doctor is your wife, I find it's better to listen."

Ducky chuckled and said, "'In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.' Ephesians. You might protest a bit too much, Mr. President."

Jed chuckled and said, dropping his voice to a stage whisper, "I find if I'm cooperative during the day, I have a much better chance at amenable nights." His grin left no choice as to what he meant.

Protests could be heard from Zoey and Abbey. "Daaad!" "Jeeed!" Alex just looked slightly flushed as Zoey continued, "I really didn't need to know that!"

Abbey shook her head with a smile. "Don't mind your father, dears. He's a bit strange at times." Jed grinned at his wife and made his way to his guests and presented his hand.

Gibbs, in the middle, took it. "Hello, Mr. President. I'm Agent Jethro Gibbs. These are Doctor Donald Mallard and Abby Scutio."

Jed's eyes lit up. "Another Abbey! Is that short for Abigail?" he asked as he took her hand.

"Yes, Mr. President. But I go by Abby," she replied with a smile.

Jed turned his head toward his wife and grinned. "Another twin, sweet cheeks! Just as young and beautiful as you are!" Abbey gave an amused smirk back.

Jed moved to Doctor Mallard. "It's nice to meet another man of education, Doctor! We should talk." Suddenly, Abbey and Gibbs looked a bit nervous.

Jed became a bit more solemn as he said, "I wanted to thank you three personally for the help you gave us and our family during this most surprising discovery. Ron was most complimentary in his report as to your professionalism and competence. That no hint of anything going on came up in the media speaks to your utter discretion. You have the thanks of a grateful President and, even more so, a grateful father. Please join us in our celebration of a family, beyond hope, reunited."

Gibbs spoke quickly, "We'd be honored, Sir." The other two nodded in agreement.
