Hey! I know it has been a while since I updated but, I have been super busy... I have had soccer games, dance, stuff like that. But those aren't very legitimate excuses so... I have just not wanted to type. Anyways, I am so mad at the writers of NCIS but I won't say anything so that I don't ruin it for other people that haven't seen it. So, enjoy, or not. Also, don't kill me for killing Kayla.
This chapter is for Lorelei-Grace because I promised to give a shout out to the first person who reviewed and she was first. You should read her story The Proposal. It is really good... Also a shout out to her because she is cool!
Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS. Just the characters I made up. Also don't own the music...
Chapter Twenty
"Tony, McGee, this is Abby and Ziva. Abby, Ziva, this is Tony and McGee." Jimmy introduced them.
They waved at each other and then ran to Jimmy's room. They played train as that was Jimmy's favorite game to play. Abby and Ziva kept protesting but Tony and McGee wanted to play trains too. It was three against two. They played trains for about two hours before Abby and Ziva made them paint. They got Jimmy's paints out of his closet and started painting. Jimmy just splattered paint onto his paper. Tony took a bunch of different paint and painted all over his face. McGee took his time and painted a picture of his new black-haired friend. Abby took her time and painted a picture of her new geeky looking friend. Ziva took no time at all but painted a beautiful picture of a bouquet of Violets. Her mother's favorite. She had only known her for a few days but she already knew so much about her.
"Do you know where Mommy and Daddy are?" Ziva asked.
"No. Let's go ask Aunt Linda." Abby said.
They walked into the kitchen with the boys trailing behind.
"Aunt Linda," Ziva started to say, "do you know where Mommy and Daddy are?"
"I think they are at the doctors." she lied.
"Where is Daddy?" Jimmy asks.
"He took Uncle Gibbs to meet Aunt Kayla." Linda explained.
"Oh. When will they be back?" Abby chimed in.
"I don't know. Why don't you guys and girls go to painting and I will call you when I know something." Linda suggested.
The kids just turned around and went Back Jimmy's bedroom.
"I don't think Tony will ever change." Linda muttered while shaking her head.
Once they were back in Jimmy's room, they started to talk and paint. Ziva painted a picture of Tony, Tony kept putting more paint on his face, McGee finished his painting of Abby, Abby finished her picture of McGee, and Jimmy just kept splattering paint onto his paper. Tony got bored so he went into Jimmy's closet in search of a game. Instead of a game, he found Crayola washable paint. He pulled out a bottle of blue paint and hid it behind his back.
"Hey guys, want to play in Jimmy's backyard?" Tony suggested.
They all shrugged and followed him to the kitchen to get Linda's permission.
"Mrs. Mallard, can we go play out back?" Tony asked with his most charming smile.
"Yeah. I just need to keep an eye on you so don't go outside yet." Linda agreed.
'Man, with her out there, I won't be able to pull my prank.' Tony thought.
Once Linda was ready, they all ran outside. Tony placed the paint on the counter without anyone noticing. They ran around and played tag (somebody finally showed Ziva how to play) for a while and when they came back in, they all were ready for a nap. Abby and Ziva got Jimmy's bed and the three boys got the floor. They all slept for about two hours except for Tony. He slept for one hour and spent the next hour planning his prank on Abby and Ziva. He had already gotten McGee and Jimmy. He ran to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of paint from the counter. He quickly ran to his bag and grabbed his camera before running back to Jimmy's room. He set the camera on the dresser and positioned it so that it was facing the bed. He made sure it was recording and then he got out a paintbrush and painted a mustache and beard on both Abby and Ziva. He set the paintbrush down and picked up the video camera to get a close up of their faces. Then he grabbed the paint bottle and poured paint into their right hands. He then blew on their faces making them reach up to scratch their faces. As soon as they felt the paint against their faces, they jumped up screaming. Ziva punched the person closest to her, which at the moment was a laughing Tony. Linda raced into the room right after Ziva punched Tony.
"What in the world is going on?" Linda yelled as she saw Abby and Ziva's blue faces.
"Mrs. Mallard, Ziva hit me in the eye." Tony cried.
"Ziva, why did you hit Tony?" Linda asked.
"Well, I was asleep and I felt an itch on my face and so I went to scratch it and I felt something cold and punched the person closest to my right which happened to be Tony." Ziva explained.
Linda let out a small chuckle before turning to face Tony.
"Tony, why did you do that to Abby and Ziva? You got it all in their hair. It's going to take forever to get this out." Linda scolded Tony.
"How do you know I did it?" Tony asked innocently.
Linda just stared at him with a face that meant you really think you can fool me.
"Fine. It was me. I always play pranks on my new friends. Just ask Jimmy and McGee." Tony explained.
"Why did your parents name you McGee? That is a weird name. You look like a Timothy." Abby rambled.
"Actually, my name is Timothy. My friends call me McGee though." he explained.
"Oh, can I call you Timmy?" Abby asked.
"Uh... I guess." he stuttered.
"Cool!" she cheered before smiling at him causing him to blush. She turned to Linda and asked, "Can you help me get this paint out? I also got it on my shirt."
"Yes sweetie. Ziva, do you need help?" Linda asked.
Ziva just nodded while keeping her eye on Tony giving him a stare that could kill someone.
"Okay, Abby, will you lead Ziva to Jimmy's bathroom? I will be there in a few minutes." Linda stated.
Abby just nodded and led Ziva out of the room.
"Tony, if you do something like that again, I will have to ask your parents to not bring you over here anymore." Linda said sternly.
"Yes ma'am. I am sorry. It won't happen again." Tony promised.
"Good." Linda said as she marched out of Jimmy's room and to his bathroom.
"Good job, Tony." McGee said as he patted his back.
"I heard that Timothy." Linda shouted from the bathroom.
"Ooops." McGee whispered. Jimmy and Tony busted out laughing.
"James Mallard, Anthony DiNozzo, you better not be laughing about what happened to Abby and Ziva!" Linda yelled.
"We aren't Mom! And please don't call me James!" Jimmy replied.
All they heard was dead silence.
"Mom?" Jimmy asked worriedly. No reply. He left his room and walked towards his bathroom with Tony and McGee right behind him. "Mom?" he asked a little more worried. He stepped into the bathroom and looked behind the door. Just then, Linda, Abby, and Ziva all jumped out from behind the shower curtain scaring all three of the boys. McGee and Tony ran away screaming and Jimmy was too scared to do anything but wet his pants.
"Oh Jimmy, I didn't mean to make you wet your pants." Linda laughed.
"It is not funny Mom!" Jimmy shouted while he stormed to his room to change pants and underwear.
"Aunt Linda, I need new stuff wrapped around me. Mine got wet." Abby declared.
"Okay. I will be right back. I will also bring some new clothes." Linda explained.
"Wait, don't leave us alone. I don't want anything to happen." Ziva cried.
"Okay. Come on." Linda said.
Ziva and Abby followed Linda to the kitchen, both of them wrapped in towels. Linda got the gauze and started walking towards Jimmy's room, Abby and Ziva following her. She got them each a pull-up that Jimmy used at night. Then she got out clothes for them to borrow. After Abby was wrapped and they were dressed, they went to go find Jimmy, Tony, and McGee. They were sitting in the living room staring at a turned of t.v.
"You know the t.v. works best when it's on, right?" Linda asked sarcastically.
Jimmy just mumbled something so quiet that no one heard him. Just then, Linda got a call from Gibbs.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Linda, can you please bring the girls to the hospital?" Gibbs asked.
"What about Jimmy, Tony, and Timothy?"
"Crap, I forgot about them. Umm, I will have Ducky come pick up the girls."
"Just so you know their clothes have paint on them so they are borrowing Jimmy's clothes." she explained.
"Okay. We will return them later." Gibbs promised.
"They barely fit him anyways."
"I have to go. They want to take Kayla to a funeral home already." Gibbs said his voice cracking.
"Okay. Talk to you later. Bye." Linda said as she hung up. "Abby, Ziva, are you guys ready to go?"
"Yeah, why?" they asked in unison.
"Because Uncle Ducky is coming to pick you up and take you to your dad."
"Where is Daddy?" Abby asked.
"He is, uhhh, still at the doctors picking up your mom." she lied.
"Okay!" Abby shouted.
Linda put Abby and Ziva's dirty clothes in plastic bags and hung them up by the front door. Linda took the kids outside and they passed a soccer ball until Ducky got there.
Abby and Ziva were quiet the entire car ride to BethesdaHospital.
"Uncle Ducky, why are we at the hospital? I thought Mommy was at the doctors'." Abby asked
"Uhhh, I think your dad would rather answer that." Ducky answered.
Abby just nodded and stared out the window. Once he found a parking spot, he led Abby and Ziva to Gibbs.
"Okay, well, I am just going to go help Linda out with those kids at home." Ducky said as he left.
"Daddy, why are we at the hospital?" Abby asked.
"Girls, I have to tell you something. Let's sit down." Gibbs said as he led them to the waiting room chairs. "I am so sorry but, Mommy is gone."
"Where did she go?" Ziva asked.
"What? How did she die?" Abby cried completely ignoring Ziva.
"Wait, she died? How?" Ziva started to cry as well.
"Umm, she was killed by somebody. I am sorry." he explained.
Abby and Ziva just tuned the whole world out and cried. The next two days were blurs with the funeral planning and the wake.
That Friday was the day of the funeral. Jimmy found out on Thursday and he was so unhappy. He ended up breaking eight dishes and 3 lamps during his tantrum. He cried so much, his eyes were foggy. He was kicking his soccer ball around and it went into the road. He went to go get it and he didn't pay any attention to oncoming traffic and he almost got hit. After that, he stayed in his room until the funeral.
Abby's tantrum involved some Ziva hair pulling, some broken dishes and lamps, and a broken DVD player. It also involved a lot of screaming and crying.
Ziva's tantrum involved wall punching, window breaking, Abby hair pulling, door slamming, dish breaking, and screaming and crying.
Friday finally came around and everyone gathered around at the funeral home to then go to the cemetery. The ceremony involved Gibbs giving the eulogy. After that, the song Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol started to play...
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
After the song finished, everyone started to vacate the area. Gibbs took his girls home and had them pack a bag. He put all their bags in his car and started driving leaving the furniture behind like he was just going on vacation. It was more than just a vacation. He was leaving and he was going to start a new life away from Washington D.C. He got the girls buckled in their carseats and he drove away from their house and to their new home.
So, what did you think? Sorry if I got the funeral thing wrong. I have never planned a funeral and I have only been to two I think and they were long ago so... my memory isn't that great. For all of you that has lost a loved one, I am sorry. I lost my great grandmother a few years ago and I can honestly say I was so upset that I didn't think my life would get any better. It did though. So, please review...
