Chapter 15
A/N: so I know I said that I'd post what they did on the weekend but I think that would be too short so I'm going to skip to Monday and just mention what they did for the weekend. If this feels disjointed let me know, I'm writing it after a 12 hour day in classes and no sleep for 48 hours.
A/N: oh how I wish I owned the show.
The first thing they did on Saturday was take Nicky to the paediatrician that Ducky recommended and got a whole heap of information on how to deal with kids and some pain killers for his wounds. The little boy seemed content to cuddle with Ziva and Tony but he'd still yet to warm up to McGee, a fact that amused Tony to no end. On Saturday after the doctors they'd gone to the Zoo and watched the monkeys play. Nick seemed to really enjoy that and spent well into the night running around the apartment, way past bed time imitating the monkeys.
Sunday was spent at the park celebrating the adoption of Alison Palmer, the whole of Team Gibbs, Breena and Ali palmer spent the day running around and eating a picnic made by Ziva. Nicky seemed fascinated by the four month old dressed in a black onsie (thanks to Abby on her 'adoption day') wanting to know everything about her. He seemed more excited though about the twins who he got to see after his doctor's appointment at Ziva's, the doctor moved to find the gender and the two stubbornly rolled over in protest (a move that amused the three year old to no end.)
Monday morning had the couple packing up all Nicky's new clothes in his bags, they'd decided to keep the cot in case they were asked to babysit for the Palmers so that stayed at home. Arriving at work an hour late due to Nicky not wanting to wake up, or eat breakfast, or get dressed, or leave the apartment, or get in the car, or get out of the car… the little boy seemed determined not to leave Tony and Ziva. He was going to go with Child Services once they find his family and he didn't seem to want to go.
At lunchtime when they brought Nicky's fathers boss in to Question him about Jason and his wife he denied being close with his junior and not knowing anything about the man's family, it wasn't until escorting him out a little voice called out "it's the snow man, it's the snow man". "Nicky" Ziva scolded "but Zeeba it's the snow man! He gibs daddy the snow to sell and mamma no like she say bad Nicky no touch, I no bad I good he bad he hurt mamma cause daddy no sells the snow propaly" the little boy explained.
The second it clicked in Tony's mind what Nicky was talking about Commander King ran for the elevator running straight into Gibbs and sending his coffee flying "oh sh*t" he whispered before Gibbs took him by the arm and marched him silently into interrogation. It took almost half an hour of silence for the commander to give up he's confession, he'd killed the wife to get the sergeant to cough up the money he owed for the cocaine, he killed Jason because they'd snorted the cocaine instead of selling it.
It was a little before five when the woman from Child Services arrived "Special Agent Gibbs, Agents DiNozzo, David?" she said "Carrie Stephen, Child Services. I was supposed to pick up Nicolas White today?" the three Agents nodded their heads "I regret to inform you we are unable to collect the minor today, the grandmother we were placing him with passed away in a car accident early this evening. She was his only remaining relative and we had no place arranged for Nicolas at the DC centre." She continued, "Well what the hell is going to happen to him?" Tony yelled, "I'm sorry to have to ask this of you but would it be possible for the minor to stay where he was placed this past weekend? Only until we can make further arrangements." Carrie answered trying to remain calm, Tony looked to Ziva who had returned carrying Nicky and had heard the end of the conversation merely nodded, Tony looked towards the woman "he's staying with us."
A/N: that's all for now. I know it was extremely short I promise the next one should be longer and yes I'm aware that Child Services wouldn't just leave a minor with just anybody but bear with me on this, all will be corrected. Love Sky xoxo
