Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS!

AN: Please forgive me for taking so long to update! RL has been extremely hectic and my muse had seemed to desert me for a short time, but she came back and this is the result from that! I hope you like!

A couple of weeks later, Jenny reluctantly allowed the girls to return to school on the condition that they stayed with the teacher the entire time and if one of them had a flashback that she be notified immediately. She also worked it out with the principal that the girls would be able to carry their animals, but they had to leave them in their bags.

The small family drove up to the school building and they all got out of the car and faced the building together. Jenny faced her girls and they looked to their mother.

"Now, remember," Jenny started, "stay with Mrs. Reid at all times and call me if something bad happens. Daddy and I or one of your brothers or sisters will be here before you get out of school. Okay? Are you sure you guys are ready for this?"

"Yes, Mommy, Rach and I are ready, right Rach?" Nikki asked her sister.

"Yeah, if somethin' happens we will call you," Rachel said.

"Okay, I love you girls," Jenny told them.

She pulled them into a tight hug and they hugged her back before turning to their father and hug him as well.

"I love you. Be safe," he said as he hugged them back.

Jenny and Gibbs took their hands and lead them into the building and right to Mrs. Reid's room. The girls stepped into the room with their parents behind them.

Mrs. Reid looked up from the board and smiled as she walked over to them. She shook the Gibbs' hands and then knelt down to the girls.

"I'm so sorry about what happened your first day," she said to the girls.

Both girls looked at each other and then to Mrs. Reid with a smile and said, "Never apologize; it's a sign of weakness."

Mrs. Reid looked confused for a moment and then chuckled. Gibbs had a wide grin on his face and a proud look in his eyes. Jenny chuckled as well.

"Okay," Mrs. Reid said, "Are you guys ready for today?"

"Yes ma'am," they replied in unison. Both turned and hugged their parents again and left to reclaim their seats that had been empty for so long.

Mrs. Reid stood up and faced Jenny and Gibbs.

"I really am sorry I let that happen," she said.

"You heard our children, never apologize," Gibbs said, "It's one of my rules."

"Oh, that's why they said that! You have rules like that?" Mrs. Reid asked.

"About 50 of them," Jenny replied.

"Wow! I've never heard of anyone making their own rules before," Mrs. Reid said.

"Yeah, my first wife started it," Gibbs said in a low voice which made Jenny grasp his hand. Mrs. Reid saw this and felt that she shouldn't push.

"So, I will be sure to call you if anything should happen and do we know who will be picking them up?" Mrs. Reid asked.

"Well, if Jethro or I get really busy and can't leave one of their brothers or sisters will pick them up," Jenny said, "I don't know right now who, but it will be someone they trust and someone we do."

"Okay," Mrs. Reid said, "Well, it's time to get started. I'm sure they'll be fine."

"I hope so," Jenny replied.

"I promise you that I will take good care of them," Mrs. Reid told her in a sincere tone.

"I know you will," Jenny said and the parents took one last look at their girls and headed for NCIS.

Jenny headed up to her office and began to work on the stack of files that seemed to have accumulated overnight. She couldn't really focus on work as she was worried about her girls and whether or not they would be okay while in school. She felt a headache come on as she thought about all the possibilities that something could go wrong. She sighed and tried to focus on the folder in her hands as her phone rang.

"Gibbs," she said as she picked up the phone.

"Hi Director!" Abby's cheerful tone rang through the phone, "Can you come down?"

"Um, I don't know Abs. I have a lot of work," Jenny replied.

"I could really use the company. Timmy and the others are busy with the new case they just started and I don't have any evidence to process until they get back which could take a while, but I'm sure that you are worried about our little Gibblets starting back to school which probably means you have been reading the same file for the last five minutes. Not to mention you probably already have a headache as it is, so you need something to take your mind off the girls and I figured if you come down here you could help me with the evidence and we could talk and stuff like that," Abby rambled on.

"I don't know Abby. I-I-I just don't know. With all these files that have to be done-," Jenny started before Abby said, "Bring them with you. I could help with them and I've already talked to Cynthia who says that you have no ops in MTAC as it stands and she said that if need be that she will forward all your calls to my lab."

Jenny sighed as she knew that there was no arguing with the young Goth. She leaned back into the chair and took her glasses off. She rubbed her temples and sighed again.

"Please?" Abby said in a small voice. Jenny smiled at the woman's persistence.

"Okay Abby. I'll be down shortly," Jenny said.

"Yay! I'll be waiting!" Abby said as Jenny held the phone away from her ear and the line went dead.

She hung up the phone and gathered her files in her arms. She stepped into the outer office.

"Send my calls to the lab Cynthia," Jenny told her secretary.

"Yes Director. I take it Abby got to you?" Cynthia asked. Jenny gave her a look.

"I didn't know why she asked," Cynthia said.

"Remember that little talk we had able sharing my schedule?" Jenny asked.

"Yes ma'am, but with Abby it seemed hard to deny her," Cynthia replied.

"I know, but next time, try harder," Jenny said with a smile and walked out the door. Cynthia grinned at the woman as she did so.

Gibbs got the call the moment he sat down at his desk. Two bodies were at Rock Creek Park for them. He wondered if crime was ever going to take a day off, but knew it was impossible. He stood and looked to his team.

"Grab your gear!" he ordered and headed for the elevator, "Two bodies at Rock Creek Park."

"On your six Boss!" was Tony's reply as the team followed him out. They all hoped that this would be an easy case so that they could be there for Rachel and Nikki.

Jenny arrived on Abby's floor to hear soothing music playing out of the lab. She wondered what was going on. Abby's choice of music was usually more vibrant. She walked into the lab to see Abby at her desk. She set the files down on the evidence table and walked into the office.

"What's up Abs?" Jenny asked. Abby looked up and grinned. She hopped out of her chair and threw her arms around the redhead. Jenny was caught off guard and staggered a little under the hug.

"Nothing's wrong! I just thought that you would like soothing music to work," Abby told her with a smile while she was trying to hide her utmost dislike for the classical music that rang throughout the lab.

"That's sweet Abby, but I know for a fact that you don't work well with this genre of music and Jethro is most likely going to need you at your best," Jenny told her.

Abby's face lit up at these words and changed the sound from Mozart to her favorite song by Android Lust. Jenny knew that she had done the right thing and, not that she would tell anyone, she actually liked the music Abby played.

"Thank you Director!" Abby squealed.

"Abby, when it's just us, it's Jenny," Jenny told her.

"Yes ma'am," Abby said with a mock salute. Jenny chuckled.

That was when the phone rang. Abby picked it up.

"Abby Sciuto, NCIS forensics," she answered. Jenny listened to the one-sided conversation for a second and then tuned it out as she brought her worries up.

Abby hung up the phone and faced Jenny. All her spunk was now gone. Jenny faced the young girl as she heard the receiver being replaced and saw the expression on her face and knew that it wasn't good.

"What's wrong?" Jenny asked.

"That was Rachel and Nikki's school. Rachel's had an episode and they can't get her out of it. Even Nikki has tried, but it hasn't worked," Abby told her, "Even giving KitKat to her didn't work."

"Oh no," Jenny said as she rushed from the lab, headed for the school with Abby on her heels. Both hoped that she would be okay.

AN: So, what do you think? Let me know! Leave a review, please and thank you!
