Matt stepped into the terminal of LAX and looked around he'd never been here before last time he'd been to LA had been when his kids were growing up they'd traveled cross country in an RV. Well things were different now, he headed over to baggage claim and grabbed his bag one of the first to come through. Now all he had to do was find is way out of the airport to a cab one ride later he'd be closer to his sister. Closer then he had been in the last two years. Today was D day, the two year mark and he finally knew where she was. He had yet to see her but that he didn't care he'd see her soon enough.


"You did what!" Tony looked at his little sister who had a sheepish look on her face he shook his head and went to sit down looking over at Kate who shrugged.

" Well they were bound to find us eventually, besides we had been saying it was about time they knew we were ok, and with Cassie's second birthday coming up its about time she met her uncle." Said Kate getting up and walking over to her husband, she rested a hand on his shoulder.

"I know you wanted to prove to every one that you and I could make it with out our friends or family around us you wanted to show my dad we were more then that and we have two years Tony, our god children will be four this coming year. It's almost new year Eva has said it her self she doesn't have to be here she can do just as well back home then she can here. I want to see Matt and Abby again; I was to see Chelsea, Andrew and Brice again as well. I love you I do but Tony we are ok better then ok we are us, Tony and Kate DiNozzo ready to take on the world, we always have been and always will be," said Kate she lent down and kissed his cheek.

"Now if you will excuse us, Eva Cassie and I have a date to attend," she said helping her sister in law into a wheel chair.

"Honey don't look so worried its lunch in the garden café that's all; do what ever you want to do just make sure you are your handsome self when we get back" said Kate placing Cassie on her aunts lap and wheeling them out of the room.

Tony watched as his sister, daughter and wife left the room he knew Kate was right they had been gone for a long time, no one knew about Cassie and he didn't even know what his godchildren looked like any more. Maybe it was time to move back home, Eva didn't seem to mind moving, and she might have better luck getting a kidney in DC then she had here. The only thing holding Tony back was his friends and brother in law they would expect the Tony he had left them with, not the person he was now could he really go back and pick up where he had left off? The answer to that question was a resounding no; he was a different person now. He couldn't go back to the person he was and if they were going to go back well NCIS and his in laws would just have to get used to that.

Too caught up in his mind Tony didn't see that some one had entered the room.


Matt had finally found his way out of the airport caught a cab and told them where to go, unfortunately not being a local he was pretty sure he had been taken the long way round but he finally arrived at his destination. Walking in he was in aw of such a place, making his way to reception he asked which room Eva DiNozzo was in, when asked if he was family or other he didn't know what to say.

"Uh well, um she's family I guess you could say." The women behind the desk looked up at him with a skeptical look.

"She's my sister in law but I've never met her, her brother's wife is my little sister" this seemed to get a response.

"Ah so your related to Kate right well I'll show you then," and with that he was on his way every step he took he was a little closer to finding his little sister. A few minutes and a couple of elevator rides later he was standing outside a private room, he looked in side to see some one deep in thought, when he looked closer he could see that this person was his brother in law, quietly walking into the room he had a look around two beds one made one had obviously had some one in it not to long ago. Matt cleared his throat bringing Tony out of his thoughts.

Tony looked around to see his brother in law standing just in side the door. Tony nodded and got up knowing that Matt was bound to see just how much he had changed.

"Well long time no see," said Matt Tony nodded sliding his hands into the pockets of his jeans.

"Listen Matt Kate's not here and I have a few things I need to sort out there is a café on the ground floor called the garden Café you can find, Kate, Eva and Cassie there ok" said Tony walking out of the room. Matt frowned and watched his brother in law walk away. Shrugging he put his bags down and headed back to the lift.
