Upon pulling into the school parking lot, Jenny and Gibbs noticed a numerous amount of press on the front lawn. The twins looked at one another and then to their parents who were watching the press in annoyance.
"Well, I was hoping that they wouldn't be here," Jenny said, "How did they find out about Rachel and Nikki's first day, let alone which school they were attending?"
Gibbs shook his head and gripped the wheel as he pulled into a parking space.
"What's the plan?" he asked.
"Well, I could distract them and you guys could make a run for it," Jenny suggested, "I really want to walk them to their class."
Then, to their surprise, Tony, Ziva, and McGee showed up and began pushing the press back. Tony nodded to Ziva who walked to Gibbs' side of the car. Gibbs opened the door and got out.
"Tony and McGee will keep the hounds at bay while I escort you, Jenny, and the twins into the building," Ziva reported with a grin.
Gibbs relayed the message to Jenny and she exited the car as well. She heard the cameras snapping rapidly and the boys yelling to the reporters to get back.
Rachel looked to Nikki with fear in her eyes. Nikki took Rachel's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"It's gonna be okay Rach. Mommy, Daddy, and Ziva will make sure we're safe," Nikki reassured her sister.
"I hope nothin' goes bad today. I wanna have a good first day," Rachel said.
"Me too," Nikki replied, "Me too."
The girls unbuckled and got out their dad's side of the car and stood behind him and Ziva to block themselves from the cameras. Rachel took Ziva's hand and Ziva squeezed it. Nikki took her father's hand and the five of them made their way to the building while the boys keep the press out in front.
When they entered the building, Ziva lingered back while Jenny and Gibbs walked the twins to their classroom. The halls of the school were brightly decorated. Rachel and Nikki looked at each picture and all the colorful banners.
"Rach, I think I'm gonna like it here. What about you?" Nikki asked looking at her sister.
"Uh, maybe. I dunno about this Nikki," Rachel said.
"You remember what Mommy told you right?" Nikki asked and Rachel nodded, "Good, then you have nothing to worry about. As long as we are together, nothin' is gonna go wrong, okay?"
"Okay, Nikki. Thank you for being my sister," Rachel said.
"You're welcome. Thank you for being mine," Nikki said back.
Jenny and Gibbs were walking behind them and listening to their daughters' conversation. Jenny took her husband's hand in hers and he looked to her with a smile.
"We have the best children in the world," she said.
"They take after their parents," Gibbs said. Jenny chuckled.
"Somehow, I find that hard to believe," Jenny said with a grin. Gibbs rolled his eyes.
They arrived to the twins' classroom. The door was decorated in oceans and the room was a large ship. The girls gasped as they entered the room.
"Daddy, our class is a ship just like what you like," Rachel said softly.
"It sure is, baby. I would love to have a ship like this and a crew like you guys," he said as he reached out and tickled Rachel's sides. She squealed and giggled.
A lady who looked to be in her early thirties approached them.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Reid. I am going to guess that these beautiful girls are Rachel and Nicole Gibbs," she said with a big smile.
The twins nodded and Rachel took Nikki's hand again as she bit her lip from nervousness. Nikki smile at the teacher and squeezed the hand that took hers. She knew that her sister was shy and was nervous about meeting new people.
"Now, I'm gonna guess which girl is which," Mrs. Reid said as she examined the twins closely, "Hmm, I think you're Nicole and you're Rachel." She pointed to the correct twin when she said their name.
"How'd you guess?" Nikki asked with surprise.
"It's magic! I could tell that you were Nicole and that she was Rachel. Now, are you guys ready to start Kindergarten?" Mrs. Reid asked trying to boost the girls' enthusiasm.
Nikki bounced up and down while nodding and Rachel leaned back against her mother. Mrs. Reid noticed Rachel shying away from her.
"There's nothing to be shy about. I'm sure you're going to have a great time and make a lot of new friends," Mrs. Reid told Rachel. Rachel looked to her mother and Jenny nodded. She then looked to Nikki who was smiling and nodded to her as well. Rachel looked to her teacher and stepped forward.
"Do you have books?" Rachel asked softly. Mrs. Reid smiled and nodded.
"We have lots of books. Do you like to read?" she asked the girl. Rachel nodded with a smile.
"Well, why don't you guys have a look around and find your desks while I talk to your parents?" Mrs. Reid offered. The girls smiled and nodded. They went off to explore their classroom.
Mrs. Reid smiled as they went and then looked to Jenny and Gibbs. She stuck her hand out and shook theirs.
"Amanda Reid, I'm sure the twins will get along great here," Mrs. Reid said.
"I'm Jenny and this is my husband Jethro," Jenny said, "We hope they will. Rachel is shy at first, but Nikki brings her out of her shell most times. I hope that they won't give you any trouble their first day."
"I'm sure they'll do fine," Mrs. Reid said, "So, you call Nicole, Nikki?"
Jenny nodded.
"Rachel was the one who started calling her Nikki when they were three. Nicole was a mouthful and so she shortened it," Jenny said.
"I see they are very different though they look so similar. When I guessed which was which it was just a guess, but how do you tell them apart?" Mrs. Reid asked, "I mean I know their actions are different, but just in case I need to make sure I have the right one."
"Well, it's rare for identical twins to have different eye colors, but that's how. Nikki's eyes are blue while Rachel's are green," Jenny said.
"Ah, okay. Well, I'll let you say your goodbyes and then we have to begin. It was very nice to meet you," Mrs. Reid said.
The girls noticed that the adults were finished and they walked to their parents.
"Well, now is the time for us to go," Jenny said, "Give us hugs and kisses and we will see you guys after school."
Rachel and Nikki hugged and kissed their parents and said their 'I Love Yous' and headed back to what they were doing. Jenny looked to her husband and Gibbs looked to her. They both were feeling that their little girls were growing up too fast. Jenny with tears in her eyes and Gibbs with his arm around her waist headed back to the car to go to work with Ziva trailing along behind them.
