Kate let out what could only be described as a growl when her doorbell rang. Why can't they just leave me alone I'm perfectly fine.
"Kate, open the door it's me." Kate was confused when she opened the door to find the other Kait on her doorstep.
"How did you find where I live?' Kate asked
"Easy. Rachel hacked into NCIS and got it for me from your personel file. Are you going to invite me in or what?" Kait asked looking annoyed.
"Ah, of course, come on in. Wait the Rachel I met today who's thirteen years old hacked into NCIS and my personel file." Kate sounded strange.
"Yep, she's our resedent geek." Kait answered sinking down into Kate's couch.
"Can I ask you a question?" Kate asked
"You just did." Kait replied grinning at her.
"Ha, ha. I thought I heard you call Ari 'papa' but he doesn't look anything like you."
"Oh, that's an easy question with an easy answer. I was adopted by Ari when I was six." Kait answered leaning her head back against the couch and closing her eyes.
"He doesn't seem like the type to just adopt a little kid." Kate said thoughtfully.
"Oh, he wasn't, trust me. I was at the library with my foster parents when I was five and I had wandered off looking for something interesting to do when I ran into him. I followed him around for a while until he introduced himself. We became friends and Ari came to visit every couple of weeks and on my sixth birthday he asked if I wanted to be adopted by him I said yes and it's been the two of us ever since."
"He never married?" Kate asked.
"Nope, nobody he has ever dated wanted me and he said we were a package deal. The longest relationship he had since he adopted me was a year and when he came home covered in blood from a mission I took care of him and she freaked out that I was abil to do stiches, clean up the blood, and get him the meds he needed quickly."
"What about family?"
"There's Ari, two sister, and two other brothers. All of them have the same father but different mothers except one brother who is his mothers son I have eight cousins and that's just our close family there are many others." Kate soon noticed that the teens eyes were drooping and her head was nodding.
"Kait, do you want to stay here tonight?" Kate asked the young girl.
"Yes, please, just call my daddy his number is in my phone." Kait answered her accent thick. Kate looked through the girls purse/bag and pulled her phone out. She searched for Ari's number and found it under 'Dad' Kate took a deep breath before hitting call.
"Shalom." He sounds relieved. Kate thought.
"Ari, it's Caitlyn from NCIS and I just wanted to let you know that Kait was staying at my house tonight if it's alright with you."
"Yes, Caitlyn, that is alright. When would you like me to pick her up?" Ari asked.
"Is noon okay at the coffee shop on 5th and Raven?"
"That is fine, Caitlyn, I will see you tomorrow."
"Ari, if you ever kidnap me again I will shoot you." Kate said teasing in her voice.
"If I kidnap you again I will let you don't worry although I think Gibbs will shoot to kill where you will shoot for damage." Ari chuckled and Kate couldn't help but laugh along. After Kate hung up with Ari she gently moved Kait so that she was laying on the couch and she layed a blanket over her.
Kait woke up to the smell of pancakes on a couch she didn't recognize. She gripped her knife in one hand and slowly moved toward the kitchen.
"Hey there, sleepyhead." Kate said standing over the stove a plate of pancakes and muffins next to her.
"Hey how long have I been out?" Kait asked.
"You went to sleep around eleven and it's ten now so eleven hours." Kate answered moving the plates of food over to the table.
"I called you dad and we're going to meet him at the coffee shop in two hours."
"He wasn't mad?"
"No, he sounded relieved when I called."
"Usually he gets angry if I'm home late."
"He's being a father. That's his job to worry about you." Kate passed the teen a plate and a cup full of orange juice.
"We better get going if we want to miss lunch trafic." Kate said a while later. The ride to the coffee shop was silent.
"Can I visit you again?" Kait asked just as they were pulling into the parking lot.
"Of course, you can visit any time you want, as long as it's okay with you dad." Kate answered reaching over the center console to give Kait a hug. The two walked into the shop and looked for Ari when they got into line for coffee.
"One coffee with cream and sugar and what would you like?" Kate asked.
"One black coffee." Kait answered. They chose a seat with a good view of all entrances and exits. Kait tapped the older woman on the arm when she saw her father.
"Thank you for taking care of my daughter, Caitlyn." Ari said sitting down at the table with them.
"Your welcome, we had fun. I told Kait that anytime she wants to visit, as long as its okay with you, she's welcome."
"That is very generous of you thank you."
"Do you know when you'll be back in D.C.?" Kate asked. The teen noticed that the conversation had turned to the adults and she was content to leave it that way. Maybe the more time they spent together the more they would realize they were meant for each other. Kait looked down as her phone buzzed she left to answer it with out either adult realizing.
"Haswari." Kait answered.
"Do you have what I'm looking for?" The person on the other end asked.
"Yes, I just need to know what my birthday present is and you may have it." Kait replied smirking.
"Wipe that smirk off your face I can feel it across the ocean you are not going to find out until your birthday." The voice growled.
"Yes, Aunt Ziva." Kait replied quickly stopping.
"How is your father?" Ziva asked.
"He is well. I believe he may have met someone but it will take time for either to admit that they like the other." Kait answered.
"Your father I understand but why would it take her long to admit it? Your father can be quite charming." Ziva asked.
"He shot her friend and her boss dispises him." Kait answered.
"I need to go your grandfather needs me."
"Good bye. Be safe I don't want to lose any other family members."
"I will be, do not worry. Good bye." Kait walked back to their table to see that the adults were still lost in conversation.
"Um, Dad, just to warn you that mean, old guy from the FBI is here." Kait said pointing to the door where Tobias Fornell had just walked in.
"This is bad, this is really bad. If he sees me he'll tell Gibbs and Gibbs will kill me." Kate started to freak out and she looked very scared.
"Don't worry, Caitlyn, I can disappear quickly and send Kait out to my car after Agent Fornell leaves." Ari said slipping into the crowd and disappearing.
"Agent Todd, who is this?" Agent Fornell asked shortly after Ari had disappeared.
"This is…" Kate started.
"her daughter. My name's Kait. Who are you?" Kait finished.
"My name's Agent Fornell. I didn't know you had a daughter Agent Todd."
"I was recently adopted from Indiana." Kait said smiling sweetly at him.
"That's very nice but why Indiana?" Agent Fornell asked.
"Why not?" Kait answered smirking getting the look from her father.
"It was nice talking to you but I'm afraid I need to get to work." Fornell left and Kate breathed a sigh of relief.
"How did you come up with that so quickly?' Kate asked.
"I don't know it just pops in to my head." Kait said shrugging her shoulders.
"I need to go, my dad's probably looking for me." Kait said turning to leave.
"I wouldn't mind being your mom." Kate whispered watching the teen leave and hug her father.
