A/N: Here it is, the last chapter. Finally, right? Thank you to all who reviewed. I especially want to thank KellyRoxton who keeps pushing me along by reviewing almost every chapter. PH2W also wrote a review for almost every chapter and I love that! Uber thanks to AbigailSciuto! She usually writes to me multiple times a day. I have become such good friends with her. I just love her. And thanks to her friend, Alex, who gathered ideas for me when I was stuck and kept me informed on what was going on. Hugs all around!
"Is he here yet? Is he here yet?" Abby asked eagerly as she ran (the best she could in her boots) from the elevator to the middle of the squad room. She stood in the middle and turned in a circle looking around. "Well, is he?!?!?"
Everyone stared at her oddly. Except Gibbs. He just chuckled. "I was about to come down there to you and ask the same question. Figured you were his first stop."
"He might have gone to see Jimmy first," McGee said.
"He didn't," said Abby. "That was the first place I looked."
"Wait. Who is coming?" asked Ziva.
"JJ!" Tony and Abby said simultaneously.
"You rang?" JJ was standing with his arms on top of the wall partition to McGee's right.
Abby pointed at him. "When did you get there? How did you get there?"
"I've been working on my stalking. Wait. That didn't come out right."
Snapping out of her shock, "You're here! You're here! You're finally here!" Abby came at him with open arms. She nearly crushed him.
"You're…hurting…me," he croaked out.
"Let the kid go, Abbs," Tony said trying to coax her away. "The boss wants to see his godson." She finally let go and stepped back with Tony.
"I'd give you a hug, too," said Gibbs, "but you may need time to recover from Abby's." He shook JJ's hand instead. "Any problems getting here?"
"Nope. Had the oil changed in the car like you said. Had everything checked over before I left. It was smooth the whole way here."
"You drove here?" Ziva asked.
"Yup. Bypassed driving classes and went straight for the test. I nailed it. Well, almost nailed it."
"That's good," McGee said. "I doubt Ziva could pass the test even with the classes."
"Hey! I happen to be a perfectly fine driver."
"Of course you are," Tony said as if he were telling a dog 'good job'. He even rubbed her head. Before she elbowed him in the gut that is.
"Where are your bags?" McGee asked.
"In the car. There were two many to carry up just to store in the lab, then carry back out later."
"How much did you bring?" Asked Ziva. "Enough to cover you for a month? Or do you need to make another trip to bring everything back with you?"
"Way to be subtle, Zee-Vah."
"Fine! I'll just ask. Are you moving here or not?"
Everyone looked to JJ waiting for a response.
"JJ!" Jimmy came up from behind the group. "How was your drive?"
"Hold it, Palmer!" Tony said. "We were just about to find out if Jethro Junior here was staying permanently."
"I just got here? Can't I even get comfortable first?"
"No," Abby said. "We have been trying to coerce your decision out of you for 3 months. 3 months! Now spill the beans!"
"Abby, calm down," Gibbs said.
"Gibbs, don't you want to know?"
"I already do."
"I'm going off to college in the fall. I'll be staying here until then."
"What?" "Really?" "Cool."
"I thought you still had a year to go?" Tony asked.
"I did. I tested out of them. Graduated a year early." He smiled at the stunned, shocked, and amused faces around him. "Did I forget to mention I am super smart?"
"Congratulations are a must," said Gibbs. "Now listen closely because this will only ever be said once." Everyone listened intently. "Dinner at my place. 1800."
"Wow. Boss is cooking."
"Like hell I am."
"I will," Abby and Ziva both said. "We will," they said again in unison.
"Come on," Gibbs said, turning his computer off. "There's nothing that needs my attention here. Let's get you settled at home."
I'm kind of sad now that its over. I'm going to miss JJ. I don't know. Maybe I will hide him in another story sometime later. Don't get your hopes up just yet though. Thank you everyone! Please, let me know how you think it turned out.
