(A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed and everything on the first chapter! Here's chapter 2! At the end of this chapter are ages of DiNozzo kids and McGee kids, most you will meet later though, and some answers to a few questions. Enjoy!)
Downstairs Tony was holding Eleanor, facing away from the stairway, and making faces at his babies to make them laugh. He just loves those baby giggles! "I see your father is making faces at you again," Ziva giggled from behind Tony. "Ahh!" Tony said startled. "Whoa, My Ninja, whoa! I thought we agreed you wouldn't sneak up on me anymore?" Tony whined, "It embarrasses me in front of the kids!" Ziva smiled and kissed his head, "Oh, I'm sorry you don't have Gibbs' excellent hearing!" "My hearing is just fine!" Tony said defensively. Handing Eleanor to Ziva, Tony spoke, "Anyway, since you are now here, my ninja, I'm gonna run upstairs and get dressed." He returned ten minutes later in his gray suit.
Another ten minutes later, they heard Katie run down the stairs. "Caitlyn! No, running on the stairs!" Ziva called to get her to slow down, but she was too, late. Katie was already sliding across the floor in high polka dot socks, denim capris, white shirt, a light brown jacket, and Tony's holey NCIS hat. "Sorry, Eema," Katie said as she used the table to stop herself.
"Where did you get that hat, Katiecakes?" Tony asked knowing the answer. Katie shifted uneasily, "I, uh, found it in your closet. I love the story behind it, it's interesting. And well you don't wear it so I was wondering if I could wear it today for crazy hat and sock day! See, for today only as long as we are in our class room, we can just wear our socks like no shoes, and we vote on who's we like best and the winners get a prize!" Tony chuckled, "Of course you may take it!" Tony pulled her into a hug, "It's yours now." "Thanks, Daddy!" "Ok, now eat so we can go, Bekhirah," Ziva laughed as she went to get the kids shoes. "Ok, Eema," Katie said sitting down and eating her cereal.
Ziva returned with pink and blue monkey rain boots, pink rain boots, pink sparkling baby tennis shoes, and blue polka dot rain boots. "Here, Tony," she said handing him Eleanor's monkey boots. "Here mommy, I'll take Bubby and Lilly's shoes," Katie said. "Thank you, motek!" Ziva smiled and handed Katie the blue polka dot boots and the pink sparling baby tennis shoes before she bent down and placed the pink boots on Savannah's kicking feet.
"Ok now I gotta get my boots!" Katie announced getting up and running to the closet. Katie returned with her light and dark brown rain boots, her red rain coat, a blue mickey rain coat, pink Minnie rain coat, an aqua and purple mermaid shaped rain coat, and one small clear one with pink trim. Ziva watched Katie set them on her chair and hand a few to Tony.
Ziva pulled her into a tight hug, "Thank you, Bekhirah! You are always such a big help! I love you!" After recovering from her surprise, Katie grinned and hugged her back, "I love you too, Eema!" Tony paused in the middle of putting coats on the other kids and smirked, "What am I chopped liver?" Katie ran over to hug Tony, "Of course not, Daddy! I love you!" Ziva walked over to him and hugged him with Katie between them and kissed him, "As do I, my little hairy butt." Katie giggled, "Ew!" causing Savannah and Lilly to giggle as well. Tony smirked to Ziva, "I think she finds that funny. You find that funny do you Katie? You know what's even funnier? THIS!" And with that Tony and Ziva attacked their ten year old, tickling her mercilessly.
Suddenly, Tony and Ziva's phones beeped. Checking their phones they got identical texts from Abby: "Where are you guys?! Gibbs is close to having a conniption!" Ziva turned to Tony and Katie, "I'll tell her we are on our way, Tony, get the babies in the car, Katie, help Daddy. I need to get my service weapon." "Grab mine too, please, Zi!" Tony called after her as she ran up the stairs to the safe.
"I got Savy and Lilly, Daddy!" Katie said as she finished putting her jacket on and putting their jackets on them. "Thanks, Baby girl! I'm going to get Monks and Cheerio in their car seats and then I'll come back to get everyone's bags," Tony said as he headed to the garage with Eleanor and Troy in his arms.
After dropping off Katie at school and Lilly and Savannah at daycare, Tony and Ziva finally arrived at NCIS. "Alright my poor sick little Monkey, let's go see Pawpaw," Tony said as he unfastened her car seat belt and lifted her out, while Ziva did the same with Troy who was sleeping again. Hitting the elevator button, Tony kissed Ziva's cheek one last time, before being around everyone. The doors opened and they found Abby pacing. "There you are!" Abby said hugging the four, "Gibbs was about to send a search party after you!" As they walked onto the elevator, Abby was still hugging them tight causing Eleanor to moan, "Aunt Abby, not feel good!" "Oh, I'm sorry, baby," Abby said backing up and kissing her forehead, "Pawpaw Ducky will make it all better!" "And Jimmy," Eleanor whispered. "And Jimmy," Abby confirmed with a smile, it was no secret Jimmy and Eleanor had a special connection since she was two.
Suddenly the doors opened revealing the familiar annoyingly orange walls, and Abby ran out, "I found them! They are ok!" "Aren't we being a bit dramatic today, Mrs. McGee?" McGee smirked causing everyone to smile when Abby marched over to him with her hands on her hips. "Timmy now is not the time or the place!" Then her arms relaxed and she smiled at him, "I'll be in the lab, I'll check on the kids in a few, 'kay, Babe?" McGee nodded and blew her a kiss as she walked away. "Which kids are here, McGee?" Ziva asked confused as Gibbs walked over and said 'hi' to the twins. "Chyan and TJ. They visited Eleanor and Troy during the party yesterday, thought they needed some cake, I found them and brought them back out but I guess not before they got sick too," McGee shrugged. "Ah, well, Gibbs we are going to take them down to Ducky, I promise we will be right back up!" Ziva said as she led Tony to the other elevator to autopsy. "You better! I got a call just before you got here, body at Quantico!" Gibbs called after them.
As Tony and Ziva stepped out of the elevator into the basement, Tony called into the room, "Autopsy Gremlin, Duck? We need to hurry back upstairs." Little Eleanor coughed as she poked Tony, "Daddy, don call Jimmy, 'Topsy Gemlen'!" "Oh, that's ok, Nora," Jimmy said as he stepped in front of them grinning. Eleanor smiled and leaned to him as he took her, "Hi, Jimmy!" Eleanor wrapped her arms around his neck tightly as he hugged her. Ducky came over smiling too, "Hello, Troy, Eleanor, Anthony, and Ziva. We will take them, hurry get back upstairs." "Oh, Ducky we have a body," Ziva told him as she handed Troy to him. "Ah, yes, well then we shall be up as soon as our temporary baby sitter gets here," Ducky said. Then the doors shot open, "I'm here. I can't believe Gibbs didn't tell me while I was up there!" Abby took Troy from Ducky, "Hurry guys!" Abby ran to set Troy in the room to the side, and came back for Eleanor, "Come see, Auntie Abby!" "NO! Want Jimmy!" Eleanor cried. Jimmy shushed her, "I'll be back don't worry, Nora. You take a nice nap, and I will be back, ok?" Jimmy kissed her head and handed her to Abby. "Later!" the four said to Abby as they got on the elevator. "Aunt Abby?" Eleanor said with tears in her eyes once they all left. "What is it sweetie?" Abby asked. "Lay down with me?" Abby grinned, "I would love too!" Abby walked into the other room that was set up just for kids sick days when Kate and Katie were little, and laid down on the big bed with her twins and the DiNozzo twins curled next to her.
(A/N: So what did you think? Well, as promised here are the ages: Caitlyn (Katie) Danielle DiNozzo: 10, Eleanor Natasha DiNozzo: 5, Michael DiNozzo: 5, Savannah (Savy) Georgia DiNozzo: 3, Lillian (Lilly) Diane DiNozzo: 1, Kate Alyssa McGee: 10, Chyan Elizabeth McGee: 5, Timothy (Timmy Jr./ TJ) Joshua McGee Jr.: 5, Madeline (Maddie) Nicole McGee: 4, Eva Nadine McGee: 3, Emilie Samantha McGee: 1, also here's a bonus: Jimmy's daughter Melody Anastasia Palmer: 3. Melody will probably show up later too. Also, I was asked if I meant for Katie and Kate to basically have the same name, the answer is yes. McGee, Abby and tony agreed their first daughter should be named after Kate in some way; each couple took one version of her name: Caitlyn and Kate. One more thing it is a lot of kids for Ziva but she's got Tony, plus Katie is a big help! Till next time!)
