This chapter is for Miss chicken and Abs


Kate bit her lip as the door opened slowly, this was it the final test well not really she would stay with Tony even if her dad didn't approve to her it was him or no one. She took Tony's hand and squeezed it.

"I love you no matter what he says ok" Tony nodded and smiled weakly. Matt stood on the other side of him and sighed this was going to be a massive test for their dad, seeing Kate was already married to him and had decided that what ever happened it was Tony she would side with. Their dad still believed that Tony had been the one that shot his little girl no matter what other people told him he refused to believe them.

"Matt, Trinity come in, where's Kate?" their father asked Matt opened the door the full way and saw how his fathers face dropped.

"Dad, you remember Tony don't you?" Kate asked wrapping her arms around her husband to give her father an idea of who she would be siding with he nodded curtly.

"Yes he's the one that shot you I remember," Kate rolled her eyes knowing that this comment would get to Tony, she felt him starting to turn away.

"Dad how many times have we been over this Tony saved my life, and he was behind me, I had my back facing him I was shot in the stomach how do you suggest he shot me if he was behind me?" She asked looking at her father sternly.

"Its ok honey I can go back to the hotel I have things I can do, you spend time with your family." Said Tony prying her arms off him, but Kate caught his hand.

"You are my family, Tony you're my husband this is your family too" she glared at her father who snorted.

"No Katie I can tell when I'm not wanted I'll be fine honey honestly go spend time with your brothers you need it, ok I'll see you back at the hotel." He kissed her hand and walked away. Kate turned back to her father and glared at him before she started yelling at him.


Matt looked up at Mitchell as they heard their sister starting to yell. "That can't be good," he said getting up. Mitchell nodded the only person he knew Kate yelled at like that was him, so he followed his brother as did the other two Todd boys. They found their little sister in a full on rant aimed at their father. Matt wasn't surprised at this at all NCIS had changed Kate in ways their brothers would never understand, so it wasn't a great shock to him to find his brothers were surprised to see their little sister yelling at their father no one ever yelled at him.

"I will not have some one who shot you in this house now young lady stop yelling at me" Matt cringed he knew it was the worst idea imaginable to tell Kate what to do when she was this pissed off, he'd learnt that the hard way and had only ever done it once as she had scared him off of ever trying to do it again.

"I am not a teenager any more. For that fact you can not tell me what to do. I live with my husband the man you insist did some thing he did not do. He saved my life dad, even in the state I was in I still could hear the medics say that if it had not been for the quick thinking Tony I would not be here today. So instead of yelling at him you should be thanking him. And as for spending time with my family that's just what I'm going to do." She turned on her heel to walk away when her father grabbed her arm. Kate turned around and glared at him.

"What? You can't keep me here I came of my own recognizance and I'll leave but it to" she pulled her arm away and kept on walking.

"You will never be part of this family again if you leave now Caitlin!" her father yelled Kate turned around and smiled.

"Good I like my family now better anyway" she yelled back at him. Matt shook his head he knew Kate and their father were both stubborn she'd gotten it from him after all. And she wouldn't back down as much as it hurt her she wouldn't be the one to say sorry, and he believed in her she was the one who hadn't been wrong anyway. So why would she back down?

"You know she won't come crawling back she does have another family. Her husband and her friends back home, as well as her three godchildren she did this for you, but you go back and spit in her face I wouldn't expect her back anytime soon." said Matt coming up beside his father knowing it was fruitless to even try but try he did anyway.

"She'll come back she always does" Matt rolled his eyes then sighed before looking over at his father.

"She used to come back because we were her family; but now she has another family she won't cone back unless you admit that you were wrong." Said Matt his brothers and walked back inside but he was going to give it his best shot.

"She'll come back you watch" was the last thing his father said before walking inside. Matt shook his head knowing that there was nothing but time that would show his father he was wrong and that Kate wouldn't come back like she had when she was younger. She didn't need him now. She had her own family now as dysfunctional as it might be it was her family and had been since she moved to DC.
