A/N: I was thinking about writing it for awhile, so in my sick haze, I am finally doing it.

Caleb Ari

"Ari? Really? The man that tried to kill you and everyone else!" Abby screamed, getting to her feet.

"But he didn't kill anyone." Kate told her calmly, staying on her couch, telling her-self that Abby was just shocked and not to let her emotions get the better of her.

"He shot Gibbs!"

"It wasn't fatal."

"Gibbs killed him!" Ziva choose that moment to step in.

"Gibbs did not shoot or kill him. I did." Abby whipped her head to Ziva.

"You helped them!? How long have you known Kate, Ziva?"

"…Fours years before she…'died'." Ziva used air quotes on 'died'.

"Did you know about us?" Abby asked her voice lowering from a scream to a shout.

"Yes. I was sent to watch you guys. To make sure you all did not do anything stupid."

"And even after seeing us so sad and upset, you didn't tell us?" Abby was close to tears.

"They were and are in hiding. The point was to get them away from their old lives."

"But you still come here." Ziva let out an irritated sigh. Kate took a step up to the base.

"She's Ari's little sister and our only connection to the outside world and you guys."

"I thought we were like sisters?" Abby's voice was just above a whisper and twin tears went down her cheeks.

"Oh Abby." Kate got up and pulled the taller woman into a much needed hug. A minute later a small cry came from the other room. As the crying got closer, Kate and Ziva knew Ari was coming down the hall with Little Abby.

"Is it safe?" His voice came down to them.

"Yeah," Kate replied with a sniffle, pulling away from Abby. Ari walked into the room, with Little Abby crying.

"I think she wants you Kate." Kate walked over to Ari and held out her arms. Once Little Abby was settled, Kate sat on the couch, next to Ziva who held Caleb, who held a small black bear that had a white bow around the neck. Ari sat next to Jenny, knowing what was about to happen. Abby just stood next to Kate, looking at the small child.

"You had a baby?" Kate nodded.

"Girl?" Another nod.

"How old?"

"Six weeks." Kate said with a smile. She looked up at Abby.

"Would you like to hold her?" Abby's eyes widened.

"Really?" Kate laughed.

"Of course." Kate carefully placed the still infant in Abby's capable arms.

"You didn't ask her name." Kate stated. Abby just looked at the child who looked back up at her.

"What is it?" She asked not tearing her eyes away.

"Abby, I want you to meet Little Abby." At that Abby looked at Kate. After a moment she smiled and her eyes went back to the baby playing with the chains on her shirt.

"Hey there, Kid. I know we never met before, but I'm your Auntie Abby. Me and your Auntie Ziva are going to teach you all sorts of things. Boys are going to love you and be terrified of you. And if a boy ever breaks your heart you got me, Ziva, Caleb, your Mommie and Daddy." After she said this she brought her lips down to Little Abby's forehead. Abby pulled back, looked at Ari and nodded.

TBC…
