AN: Hey. So sorry for the long wait. I lost the notebook I write my story in, then I got sick, and I started to type it up yesterday but I had to reboot my computer and lost what I had written so, major problems. This chapter is sort of a filler. Umm, I am planning on doing about ten more chapters and then I will start the sequel. Anyways, enough of my rambling. Enjoy, or not, whatever.

Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS or Chuck-E-Cheeses. If I owned Chuck-E-Cheeses, I would make it close its doors. If I owned NCIS, I would make McAbby and Tiva come true, and make the show go on forever or until I die...


Chapter Fifteen

It was time for bed for Abby and Ziva. Gibbs and Kayla didn't think they were ready to sleep in the same room so Ziva slept in the guest room.

"So, listen, you know how I said I wanted another child?" Kayla asked Gibbs.

"Yeah. Do you still want one?" Gibbs questioned.

"Yes. I do, very much." she replied.

"Okay. Whatever you want. I am too tired right now and I think we should wait a year or two." Gibbs explained.

"Oh. Well, I meant a few years from now." Kayla said in dismay.

"I am sorry honey. It's just, both our children got kidnapped, one of them 'died', and they are only toddlers. I would rather wait a few years until we know it is safe." Gibbs said trying to comfort her.

"I understand." she admitted. She got off the couch, walked to the bathroom, and got in the shower. Gibbs just sat on the sofa for a while thinking about how lucky he is to have everything he has. He finally got up, went to his bedroom, got his pajamas on, and got into his bed. Kayla got out of the shower, got her pajamas on, brushed her hair and her teeth, and went to bed. Once she was under the covers, she snuggled up close to Gibbs and he put his arms around her and she put her head on his chest.


They woke up the next morning at 5:30 am and got breakfast ready for Abby and Ziva. They finished cooking around 6:00 and so they went to get the girls. Kayla got Abby while Gibbs got Ziva. They both walked back into the kitchen each with a little girl drooling on their shoulders and just laughed. Gibbs showed his rare smile and leaned in to kiss Kayla. She met him halfway and they pulled apart when they felt Abby and Ziva move.

"Daddy, what's for breakfast?" Abby asked.

"Eggs, pancakes, bacon, and toast." he replied.

"Hey, Jethro, we forgot to get Ziva a high chair for the table. Abby, can Ziva use yours until we get one for her? You can sit in Daddy's lap." Kayla jumped in.

"Hey! Don't be giving up my lap!" Gibbs shouted. Now the girls were on their way to the table and Kayla and Gibbs were getting the food.

"Get over it." Kayla replied before pulling him in for a kiss.

"Ewwww! Mommy, Daddy, that's gross. Yes she can, but you have to get her one by the end of the week." Abby proclaimed.

"Daddy, I am tired!" Ziva whined while lying down on the floor.

"Ziva, honey, I know your tired but I need you to get up off the floor and let me put you in your chair." Kayla sighed.

"Okay." Ziva yawned.

"I am sorry we have to get up so early but we have to get supplies for Jimmy's surprise birthday party this afternoon." Gibbs said.

"Why can't Uncle Donald do it?" Abby asked

"Because if Jimmy sees the supplies, then the party won't be a surprise. We want it to be a surprise, don't we?" Gibbs walked into the kitchen to get plates and forks.

"I guess." Both Abby and Ziva sighed.

They finished eating breakfast and then they got in the car and went to Wal-mart.


30 minutes later...

They were sitting in the check out line waiting to check out but the woman in front of them had like, every item in the entire store in her buggy and she only had to pay $35.00 because of coupons. Abby was fast asleep in Kayla's arms and Ziva as fast asleep in the seat part of the buggy. They finally checked out and left the store. Kayla and Gibbs managed to put Abby and Ziva in their car seats without waking either of them. Gibbs called Ducky and told him to come over to his house so that Kayla and the girls could get Jimmy without him seeing the supplies. Ducky brought Jimmy over and the girls took him to Abby's room so the adults could move the supplies.

"Hey, do you want to see if you can stay a little longer after your dad leaves?" Abby asked.

"Sure. That would be awesome." Jimmy shouted.

"Okay. Let's go ask." Abby squealed.

They ran to the front door when Kayla called them to the kitchen.

"Where do you think you're going?" Kayla asked suspiciously.

"We were going to ask if I could stay for a little while and then go home tonight." Jimmy poured out.

"Oh. Your dad and uncle already left. I am taking you guys to Chuck-E-Cheese's for lunch." Kayla explained.

"Yay!" all three of the kids screamed.

"Go get your shoes on and head out to the car." Kayla commanded

"Okay." they all said before running to Abby's room and putting on their shoes. They all then ran outside and played tag before Kayla came out. Ziva did not know how to play tag because she did not have anyone to teach her. Abby and Jimmy kept tagging her and she would start crying because they wouldn't teach her how to play. Kayla came out about ten minutes later and saw Ziva sitting in the corner crying and Jimmy and Abby trying to figure out what was wrong. She locked the front door and called them to the car.

"Aunt Kayla, can I sit in the front seat because I am four?" Jimmy begged.

"No Jimmy. You are not old enough to sit in the front seat. Ask me again in eight years." Kayla explained

"I have to wait eight years? Then I will be out of the house!" Jimmy cried

"Jimmy, you will only be twelve in eight years." Kayla laughed.

"Oh... Okay. So... can I sit in the middle row with Abby?" Jimmy requested.

"What about Ziva? Don't you think that she will feel alone in the back-row?" Kayla asked.

"Yes. Do I have to sit in a car seat though? Three car seats won't fit in the same row." Jimmy negotiated.

"Well, your dad didn't give me one for you so no. You can sit in the middle and the girls can sit on either side of you." Kayla said.

"Okay." Jimmy agreed and got in the car.

Kayla had a lot on her mind and she went into auto-pilot which did not involve Ziva being buckled into the car. Once she had finished buckling in Abby, she got into her seat a pulled out. Jimmy and Abby were busy talking to each other so they didn't notice that she was gone. Once they pulled out of the neighborhood, Kayla decided to ask Ziva why she was crying.

"Ziva, sweetie, why were you crying earlier?" she asked cautiously. She got no answer. She pulled the car over and looked in the back and saw that Ziva wasn't there. She pulled back into traffic and made the next legal u-turn.


So, Whatcha think? Umm, I know I make Kayla seem like a bad mom in this chapter but, both of my parents got left behind when they were kids. LOL. I am surprised I haven't. I just want to say, I just found out that one of director Vance's kids is named Kayla and I did not name my character after her. I just really like the name. I think I am going to make this story line have like, ten stories in it. One of the times I logged in, I got the security code mtac. So cool! So, thanks. Tell me what you think with the review box.

Bye.
