(A/N: Hey! Here is chapter 2! Hope you like it! Enjoy! Oh, I almost forgot! I own Nothing of NCIS I only own Natalia.)
Since Tony still hadn't moved, because of his confusion and shock, since they left, Gibbs walked by and smacked the back of his head, hard. "Ow! Oh, hey, Boss!" Tony stuttered. "Are you back, now?" Gibbs asked. "Yea, Boss, sorry," Tony apologized. "Good. Don't apologize it's a sign of weakness. Now where are McGee and Ziva?" Gibbs asked before he noticed his desk, "And what is going on with my desk?" Tony noticed McGee, Ziva, and Nat with her grape soda come around the corner. "That should answer both of your questions, Boss," Tony told him pointing to the trio. "Hi, Natalia!" Gibbs said with excitement clear in his voice. He walked over to her and taking her hand led her to the elevator. Ziva, Tony, and McGee watched as the doors closed behind Gibbs and Nat and spoke at the same time, "What did I miss?"
After the elevator doors closed behind them, Gibbs flipped the switch and made the elevator stop. Turning to Nat, Gibbs scooped her into a hug, "I love you, Natty!" "You're not mad, Daddy?" Nat asked hugging him close. "I'm glad you're ok. Now, does Granpa know you are here?" Gibbs asked her going into father mode. "Well…" Nat began looking down at her hands, "He should be waking up soon and getting my note…"
*Flashback to the night before*
Natalia's POV:
"Are you ready for bed, Nat?" Granpa asked me, "You have school in the morning, sweetie." "Ok, Granpa! I'll go get my PJ's on," I yell as I run up to my room. Once I got my PJ's on I heard a knock on my door. Granpa opened my door, "Hey, Nat." I ran to hug him, and he picked me up. "I miss Daddy, Granpa. I wish he was still here and didn't leave last week." "Me too, princess," Granpa told me as he tucked me in and kissed my forehead. "Good night, Nat-a-tat-tat!" He whispered as the closed the door behind him. "Night," I replied.
"Uh, I can't sleep!" I whispered. I looked over at the clock; it read one a.m. Then I got an idea! I turned the computer on did a little research, and fifteen minutes later I put on my favorite pink and purple dress with my purple leggings and black boots and braided my hair into pigtails. In an hour and a half I had packed all my clothes, necessities and the rest of my stuff and had written a note for Granpa:
Granpa,
By the time you wake up, I will be with Daddy. I love you dearly, but I don't see him enough. Call to make sure I get there, please. I have all the money I have saved and it will get me to NCIS. Don't worry you know I work at a sixth grade math level I know I have enough. I will miss you!
Love, Nat-a-tat-tat!
I kissed his cheek and laid the note on his bedside table. I grabbed my pink duffle bag and my purple backpack and walked to the bus station. I got lucky I guess no one really asked about my ticket or my age. When the bus got to D.C., I got a taxi to take me to NCIS. I got there around 6:30 or so. I told the secretary I was here to see Leroy Jethro Gibbs and she called up for me and sent me up.
*end flashback*
No POV:
"Ok, I'm sure I will get that call soon, so let's go back to the team. We will talk about your running away later, Nat," Gibbs said as he scooped her up and set her on his hip and flipped the switch to start the elevator again.
In the Bullpen
"Who do you think that girl is?" Tony questioned pacing. "It's Nat. She told us, Tony. Now stop that," McGee told his teammate. "But how are her and Gibbs connected? I've never seen Gibbs so happy to see someone especially a kid!" Tony paced some more. Hearing the elevator ding the three looked up. "I'm sorry," they heard Nat say before they saw Gibbs walk out carrying her. Practically ignoring his team, Gibbs walked by them to his desk, sat in the chair, and set Nat down on his desk. His desk phone rang. Picking it up Gibbs spoke, "Gibbs. Hey Dad. Dad relax. Dad listen." Gibbs pulled the phone away from his ear; everyone could hear his dad trying to form a worried apology. Sighing he looked at Nat and held the phone to her, "Here Natty, tell Granpa you are here and safe." Nat took the phone and spoke to Jackson. The team stared at them in disbelief.
Getting up Gibbs whispered to Nat that he would be right back and motioned to his team to follow him to the corner of the stairs. "Alright ask," Gibbs told them. "Ok… If your dad…" Tony started. McGee continued, "Is her grandfather…" "Then that makes you her…" Ziva added. "Yes, her father," Gibbs answered before telling them of his fateful visit home five years ago. "I thought apologizing is a sign of weakness. And Nat said sorry to you, boss," Tony said. "She was covered by rule 18," Gibbs told them. "It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission, correct?" Ziva asked. "Right, Ziver. See she ran from my dad's house to here where she is going to stay. I should have told you guys about her, I'm sorry, guys. And Tony before you say it…" Gibbs said. "Rule 18, got it boss, I forgive you," Tony said. "Me too," Ziva and McGee said. Then Gibbs did something none of them knew he did; he pulled them into a group hug! As he released them he planted a kiss in Ziva's hair, "Now don't get used to this, I'm just glad you guys understand and my little family is complete! So now that you have met her and know her story, what do you think of her?" "She is so adorable Gibbs!" Ziva told him. "I like her! But you better tell Abby before someone else does or she will be extra mad!" McGee observed. "Don't worry, Tim, right after this, Natty is going to meet her and Duck. Now, how 'bout you, Tony?" Gibbs asked turning to him. "Um, she's cute. Uh, she knew our names, Boss?" Tony said questioningly. "She knows all about you guys. She has always wanted to meet you. But I was afraid something bad might happen to her like Shannon and Kelly…" Gibbs trailed off, "But don't you guys have some paper work to finish up?" "Right, Boss! We are finishing it now!" Tony said as he led McGee and Ziva back to their desks. Gibbs caught Ziva before she left, "Ziver, I hope you feel the same way, but I think of both you and Abby as my daughters as well as Tony and Tim as my sons, but would you like to be like an older sister to Nat or maybe an aunt? Think about it and I will ask Abby but ask the guys if they want to be like brothers or uncles. I know Nat will love you guys either way," Gibbs said honestly. Smiling Ziva took the hand that had caught her elbow in hers, "I'll think about it. And yes I do feel like you are more of a father to me than my own, Gibbs!" She squeezed his hand before walking back to her desk. As he walked back to his desk Gibbs stopped in the middle of the floor where his team could see him with a 'you're not going to want to miss this' look on his face. After looking at each member of his team in turn, Gibbs smacked himself in the back of the head like he had done to each one of them before. He nodded to them smiling, and turned to the conversation Nat was still having with his father. "I love you, Granpa," Nat said and after seeing her father sign something to her she added, "Daddy will call you later to talk about my living arrangements. Ok, bye!" Nat said as she hung up the phone. "No way, she knows sign language too!" Tony whispered to Ziva and McGee as they watched Gibbs carry Nat to the elevator.
(A/N: Of course Gibbs would teach his daughter sign language, Tony! lol What will Abby think of Natalia? Please review!)
