Characters: Tony, Ziva, Gibbs, McGee, Abby, Ducky, Palmer, Jenny, Lizzie, Agent Sacs, Fornell and lots of other people who I haven't thought up names for.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own NCIS or any of the characters in it or Cote de Pablo's hair (dang it). I do own Lizzie and all the other people who I haven't thought up names for yet.

Well done to all those who got the quote in the last chapter. For those who didn't it was 'the lion fell in love with the lamb' from Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Those who didn't get it haven't lived (I'm a member of Twilight aholics anonymous but yes, I know NCIS is better). Thank's again for all the reviews! This is already my most popular story and it's also my third shortest. This chapter is for all those who haven't discovered Taylor Swift yet (mostly my class).

Jenny sat up straight. She felt Gibbs' eyes on her. She took a deep breath before answering, "He is your father, Lizzie."

Lizzie gasped. This was her dad? She immediately saw the similarities. He had merciless, ice cold, blue eyes just like her. He seemed a little old but Lizzie didn't mind. She had a dad at last! She surveyed him inquisitively. He did the same to her.

"How old are you?" she asked.

Gibbs laughed. Jenny was shocked, "Lizzie!" she exclaimed. She knew she had brought her daughter up better than that and was embarrassed.

"You know you should never ask a man that." Gibbs replied. He decided he rally liked his daughter. She was feisty and quick. That was good.

"I thought you were never meant to ask a woman that." She said.

Gibbs laughed again and ruffled her hair.

"That's my girl." He smiled.

"I'll go get the doctor now you're awake." Said Jenny.

That left Gibbs and Lizzie alone together. "So what do you do for a living?" asked Lizzie.

"You know your mum is the director of NCIS?" asked Gibbs.

"Yep." Said Lizzie.

"Well, she's my boss." Said Gibbs.

Lizzie laughed. "No way!" she smiled. "Mum must have a great time bossing you around!" Gibbs looked at the floor, embarrassed. Lizzie was laughing her head off. "So why haven't you seen me before?" she asked, her tone serious now.

Gibbs sighed. He had known that this question was going to come. "I didn't know Jenny had a kid until today. I didn't know I was a dad until about an hour ago."

Lizzie's face fell. She knew there was a reason why her dad had not visited. She didn't know that it was going to be like this.

Jenny came back into the room with the doctor. The doctor examined Lizzie and after about ten minutes he pronounced her fit.

"You can go if you want Miss Shepheard." He told her. Lizzie smiled and jumped out of the bed. She was a little shaky on her feet but Gibbs steadied her. She quickly got dressed and made her way towards the door.

Gibbs stopped her. "Do you want a piggy back?" he asked.

"Yes please!" she exclaimed.

"Jethro!" moaned Jenny but it was too late. Lizzie was already on Gibbs' back.

They all walked out of the hospital together. Gibbs smiled. He had a family again. At last.

Gibbs showed Lizzie down to the lab. He was going to let her spend some time with Abby. Tony had thought it was a bad idea. "Our Abby with a minor!" he had exclaimed. Gibbs had ignored him. As usual.

"Hi!" Abby had squealed. She instantly pulled Lizzie into a rib breaking hug. Lizzie smiled as she was crushed. It was nice to be wanted.

"Hi." She had said smiling.

Gibbs handed Abby a caf-pow, kissed her on the cheek and told her to 'be good'. Then he had left.

That was an hour ago. Abby had drunk her caf-pow. Lizzie had drunk a mini one. They had discussed quantum physics and were now onto the periodic table.

"So Ag is Argon. CO is Cobalt. He is helium. How much fun have you had with helium?" asked Lizzie. She was slightly hyper and was spinning round on her chair.

"My cousin and I inhaled enough to make our voices squeaky for like twenty minutes!" said Abby. As always, she was hyper.

"At my boarding school we broke into the lab and stole some helium and inhaled it. We got busted and had detention for like a week!" laughed Lizzie.

Abby smiled. This was definitely her type of girl.

Abby turned up her music.

"Your music is ok but I prefer other stuff." Said Lizzie.

"Like what?" asked Abby critically with her hands on her hips.

"You ever heard Love Story by Taylor Swift?" asked Lizzie.

"No." said Abby.

"You have not lived!" exclaimed Lizzie. She jumped in front of Abby's computer and brought up you tube. She quickly found the song and turned off Abby's music.

Then she stood up and sang with a voice as clear as crystals.

"We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello."

Lizzie didn't see but Gibbs was standing in the doorway holding a caf-pow. He smiled when he heard her sing. She was as perfect as Kelly.

"Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'" Sang Lizzie.

Abby smiled when she heard her as well. This girl ahd a gift. She was really like GIbbs and Abby could see the Jenny in her as well.

"So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Abby thought abuot the song. It wasn't really her type of music but she liked it. She was going to have to get Lizzie into thrashfist metal.

"Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,"

Gibbs thought about the song too. It was a good song and he was going to have to listen to more music now that Lizzie was here. He might actually listen to that mp3 thingymadgic that Abby had got him.

"And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you..."

Abby clapped when Lizzie finished. "OMG that was soooo good!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah it was!" said Gibbs from the door way.

Lizzie turned round. The look on her face was pure joy. She ran and gave him a massive hug. Gibbs hugged her back. It was good to have a kid, he thought. He handed Abby her caf-pow and walked to the elevator.

He was on a high when he walked into the bullpen. Life was perfect he thought. The thought was proved wrong when shots rang out and a scream he rocognized rang out thorugh the building.

Thanks again to all those who reviewed! I'm thinking about Abby and Lizzie adn Ziva having a massive sing-a-long at the end. If you want to recommend a song please do in your review! Sorry about the evil cliff hanger. Bye :)
