Gibbs woke up before anyone else. He knew because whoever was up, stayed in his room until he woke up to help him up. He took his watch of the table and looked at it. 5a.m. it was early but he would wake up at this time periodically, especially on cases. Sometimes he didn't get to sleep until know and wake up at 8, going into work wide awake. He turned over, using the small dresser to lever himself up. He pulled himself up slowly. Hissing as he got his feet under him. He opened the dresser drawers and got underwear, baggy jeans, an old NIS tee, and his black Marine sweatshirt. All of their casual clothing had been brought over. They each had a bathroom attached to their rooms; slowly walking past Dicky he entered it. He took a hot shower and hit the 'head'. He exited the bathroom and picked up his holster. He quietly checked his weapon and holstered it on his hip. He walked out of the room. He nodded to the FBI agents on both of the recliners by the couches. He sat on the couch under the window, next to the table.
"What ya watchin'?" he asked the guards.
"Early morning cartoons." Gibbs nodded.
"Not surprised you have your gun on ya. Wearing a backup?"
"Na loaned it to Abbs." They nodded smirking. He put his feet up, leaning into the cushions.
Ducky came out, wearing a NCIS sweat shirt, and black NCIS sweat pants. He was very cute, clothes too big. He made tea and brought the cups out, handing Gibbs his. He sat on Gibbs left, putting his feet up.
"Lookin good Duck" He said.
"Yes thank you for the sweat shirt, Jethro." He responded.
Tony, Ellie, McGee, and Abby started their day off the same. The agents holster their guns as well. Ellie was wearing an umpire waist cream long sleeve shirt. The waist had a light brown leather braided belt and light blue jeans. Tony had an Ohio Alumni tee, black jeans, and a plain blank belt. McGee had a MIT Alumni tee, dark blue jeans, and a black belt. Abby had a knee length plaid skirt, a black tee with skull and cross bones, a spiked collar and stud earrings. She decided to leave the gun on the dresser. They walked out of their rooms and sat on the couch. Ellie and Tony to Gibbs right. Ellie was next to Gibbs, Tony by the table. Abby and McGee sat on the other couch.
"You look adorable Duckman." Abby said hugging him and sitting back down.. They chuckled at his look.
"Borrow some of Gibbs clothes Duck." McGee said. He nodded.
Jimmy and Brenna came out and she kissed his forehead and hugged him. They sat next to Abby, cuddling. They watched t.v. while Tony and McGee made breakfast. They made pancakes, eggs, think ham slices, sausage patties, and fresh orange juice. They enjoyed breakfast and watched t.v. Gibbs was walking around the outside of the house alone, save for the FBI agents. He came in ans relaxed into the cushions. They had moved Brenna and Ellie switched places, as well as Tony and Jimmy.
"Was your walk good?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah getting' easier." He replied.
"That's really good, dad." Brenna squeezed his bicep that was in the sling. He nodded.
They watched t.v. for a few hours. They made a futile attempt to argue with Gibbs. He was making them all lunch, grilled chicken/ham cheese (thick slices), and homemade tomato soup.
"Jethro you need to relax."
"I am" He said as he flipped the sandwiches. They looked dubiously at him.
"What, it relaxes me."
"Cooking or providing for your family?" Jimmy asked. Gibbs just looked at him, his only emotion showing through was slight amusement.
"So did giving you permission to call me dad give you balls?" everyone laughed and Gibbs lost the fight and smiled.
"Na just gave me your biological confidence, Dad!" He said straight faced but they all ended up laughing. Gibbs shook his head fondly.
"It is in my genes." He joked back, feigning seriousness. They laughed as he brought and set their food down. They watched a few funny movies all afternoon. Gibb only had to walk after two meals. He had chosen to relax, after lunch. A little after 4 the others were distracted with books, t.v., or in the bathroom. He snuck into the kitchen and used beer for his cowboy style steak. It took a few minutes for them to notice and the FBI agents chuckled.
"JETHRO." Ducky said loudly.
Gibbs looked over with his most innocent face. "What?"
"One you're cooking…again. Two, you refuse to take doctor's advice, Ducky and mine, in relaxing."
"Yeah…yeah, I get Jimmy. But I am relaxing." He said with an innocent smile.
"Oh never mind." He said.
"What's for dinner?" Abby asked as he squatted putting the steak on the grate in the fireplace, beside the television.
"Cowboy steak, mashed potatoes, and corn."
A few minutes later Dinner was done a few minutes later. They ate and joked around. Gibbs went for a walk. They went to bed an hour after that.
