AN: I can't apologize for the long wait you guys. I don't want the back of my head to hurt. Also, in this story, Gibbs' rules don't exist because he started making them when he married Sharon. This is sort of a filler chapter and it is short. I also lied, this story is only gonna be 20 chapters long. So enjoy, or not, whatever.

Disclaimer: I have a better chance of playing a soccer game today than owning NCIS which is zero percent cause it is thundering and lightening here..


Chapter Seventeen

Kayla ran into the house while she called Ziva's name. Ziva ran to her mom and leaped into her arms.

"Mommy!" she shouted.

"Ziva. I am so sorry I left you. I didn't mean too." Kayla practically cried.

"Mommy, I can't breath." Ziva whined while her mom hugged her tight.

"Sorry. Let's go to the car." Kayla apologized.

They walked to the car and Kayla made sure that everyone was there before she pulled out.


When they pulled into the parking lot, the three in the back started jumping for joy. Well, as much as they could in a car.


They go a table and ordered a pepperoni pizza. The kids each got ten tokens to play. Kayla made sure to keep an eye on all of them. She didn't want to risk losing any of them. She asked them to stay together and where she could see them and if they wanted to go somewhere out of her sight to come and get her. Once they had finished eating and playing, they were all tired and ready to go home.


Once they were back at Gibbs' house, Kayla took Ziva to the guest room and tucked her in. Then she led Jimmy and Abby to Abby's room and tucked them in Abby's bed.

About two hours later, Jimmy came into the living room. When he spoke, he startled Kayla who was reading a magazine while sitting on the couch.

"Aunt Kayla, I'm ready to go home." he whined.

"Okay kiddo. Let me call your dad and tell him we are on the way." she replied.

Jimmy nodded before heading back to Abby's room.

Kayla called Ducky and he said that everybody would be over in thirty minutes and asked her to wait that long. She hung up the phone and walked back to Abby's room to find Jimmy asleep with a protective arm around Abby. She decided to leave them alone for 15 minutes while she wrapped Jimmy's present.


About fifteen minutes later, Kayla went to wake up Ziva. When she went into the guest room, she found Ziva sweating and sleeping fitfully. Kayla quickly woke her up and scooped her up. She carried her to the bathroom and set her down on the closed toilet seat. She turned on the shower and waited for it to warm up a little. While she was waiting, she went to get Abby and Jimmy up. Jimmy got up first and went to the living room to watch Looney Toons. Once he had left, Abby closed her door and changed into a skort and a nice t-shirt with some ballet flats. Kayla walked back to the bathroom to find Ziva's cloths on the floor and her washing shampoo out of her hair. Just then, she heard something break and a child scream.


AN: Yes. I know. Short and lame. I have to drag it out so that I hit twenty for the last part that I am really excited about! R&R please! Got to go.

Bye!
