Please review! Thank you everyone who has reviewed
As soon as I had finished writing my lines I shot out of my seat so the chair fell on the ground, and everyone stared at me. My dad turned and looked at me and said in a firm whisper, "Sit down Caitlyn and finish writing you lines."
"Dad I finished writing can I please just stand for a few minutes?" he held out his hand and I handed him the sheets of white lined paper and he looked over my work and said, "Nice job, Alright you can stand." Just then his phone rang, "Yeah Gibbs….We'll be right there." Then he hung up his phone and said, "Gear up we've got a dead marine, but first I'm going to personally deliver the kids to Abby's lab."
Then Tony said, "You sure boss?" but that question resulted in Tony getting head slapped by Ziva which caused Tony to squeak."
My dad replied, "Thanks Ziva. Ya I'm sure DiNozzo the dead marines not going anywhere." He chucked the keys at Ziva, "Ziva get the car I'll meet you out front" that statement caused both McGee and Tony to gulp. After she nodded with a little smile Carlos and Jake were told to behave, but that was mostly addressed to CK, then we walked to the elevator with my dad. The ride down to the lab was quiet CK stood on one side of my dad holding Jake's hand and I stood on the other. When the elevator dinged my dad got out, like always he expected us to follow so we did. When we entered the lab Abby flung her arms around my dad's neck, "Hey Gibbs!"
"Hey Abbs we've got a case, I just brought them down to make sure they came straight down to your lab, remember what we talked about." Then he kissed her cheek and left.
After he left I said, "What'd you talk about Abby?" she told everyone but me to go into her office. I thought she didn't hear me so I repeated my question. "Abby what did you talk about?"
"Well Kate, your dad told me everything."
"Everything?"
"Yes everything and he told me to watch you like a hawk."
"Well in that case if I'm the prey, I'll go hide in the other room."
I went to leave but Abby grabbed a hold of my wrist and said, "Your dad told me about your sarcastic attitude, and I'm not afraid to give you a smack or two, I am letting that one slide."
I said smugly, "Oh that's so thoughtful of you." I knew I shouldn't have said that because Abby, who still had a hold of my wrist, spun me around and gave me a solid smack to my still stinging backside "OW! I'm sorry Abby." She gave me a big bear hug and said, "It's ok kiddo. You want to help me with the evidence?"
"Can I?"
"Sure"
"Thank you so much Abby. I love the work that you do, and I think your job is so cool." I most definitely want to stay on her good side because even though Abby is awesome I can tell from that one smack that she can spank hard. But, on the other hand forensic science is really cool.
"Aww thanks Kate," and she handed me some gloves and a lab coat and we got to work. She stuck a 'junior trainee' sticker on my lab coat, then she showed me how each one of her 'babies' works.
Uncle Timmy had brought down evidence for Abby to examine. She was running hair samples that they found at the crime scene and she said that I could dust for fingerprints like she showed me earlier. I was dusting for fingerprints on a wineglass, personally I didn't think I was going to find one, and I don't think Abby did either, but I did, "Hey Abby I've got a partial," I said in my best 'smart' voice.
"Way to go" and she gave me a high five. "You wanna see if we get a hit in the computer?"
"You sure?"
"Ya I'm sure! You already found a partial, if you want full credit you have to find a match!" she grinned and I smiled back at her. I moved the mouse on the computer and started a search. About ten minutes later the computer dinged and my dad walked through the door and said, "What do ya have for me Abbs?"
"Not me Gibbs, Kate."
My dad turned and looked at me not saying anything, he was just staring at my long lab coat that reached the floor, my oversized gloves, some of Abby's old platform boots I decided to put on, I also put on one of her extra spiked collars. Also during that ten minutes Abby put a henna tattoo, of the Kryptonian symbol that means hope, on me luckily it was on my lower back so he couldn't see it because he doesn't even want me thinking about any kind of tattoo. I just can't get a spanking until it wears off, like that will happen, my dad will probably find something to spank me for, because apparently I can't stay out of trouble. But none the less I looked like a mini Abby asides from my long auburn hair color.
GIBBS POV
"Abby a work," Abby followed me outside the lab door. "Abby what were you thinking?"
"What Gibbs I thought the outfit was cute."
"Abbs…. As much as I would love to have another Abby running around N.C.I.S., that's not what I'm talking about."
She looked down at her shoes and said, "It's not?"
"Look at me Abbs," she looked up. "No it's not first of all she's grounded and this isn't supposed to be fun for her."
"I know it's my fault Gibbs, I asked for her help."
"Which brings me to my next point, you know that some of the things we see isn't suitable for kids." She mumbled something at which point I spun her around and landed a hard smack on her bottom, "OW! Gibbs, that really hurt." She said rubbing her butt.
"Supposed to, now answer Abigail, so I can hear you."
"Sorry Gibbs I didn't think about that, but she is really enjoying this and if you look at her she is really happy."
I snuck a peak and she was spinning in the chair laughing, "She does look happy Abbs."
"Yes she does can you just ask her what she found? After all she was the one that found the partial print."
"Ummmmmm"
"Pleeeeeeeeease Gibbs."
"Oh alright Abbs," and I hugged her and kissed her cheek.
KATE POV
I was spinning in circles in Abby's swivel chair and I caught a glimpse of my dad and Abby and I stopped spinning and my dad smiled at Abby and said, "What do you have Kate?"
"Well dad, the print matches a Rex 'Baby face' Braxton."
Then my dad turned to Abby and said, "Any previous convictions?"
Abby was about to check on her computer when I broke in, "Yes…murder." My dad and Abby turned and looked at me, "He was paroled about a month ago."
My dad said, "How'd you know that?"
"Well Rex was a friend of my dad's, and he was just as violent as him, and one question."
My dad said, "Shoot."
"Did the body have a stamp of a baby's face behind the right ear?"
My dad cocked an eyebrow and answered, "Yeah."
"It's his signature."
Then Abby said, "Kate how do you know all this?"
"Because Rex 'Baby Face' Braxton was the man that was convicted of killing my mother."

My dad and Abby just stared at me with their mouths open, unable to produce words. At the recent memory of my mother my eyes started to fill with water. Abby and Gibbs embraced me in a hug and Abby said, "It's ok Kate," rubbing my back. When they broke the hug Abby handed me a tissue and I wiped my eyes.
Then my dad said, "Kate, honey, this is very important do you know where I can find Rex?" I nodded, "Can you tell me?" I shook my head, "Kate I know this is difficult for you but I will spank you if you refuse to tell me, you could help keep a killer of the streets."
I shivered at the threat, "I ca-ant da-ad."
"Why can't you?"
"B-b-because h-he'll ki-ill me."
"Who Kate?"
"Anyone a-associated wi-ith m-my r-real dad. The-ey keep in touch they'll know if I t-told."
"Don't worry kiddo I'll keep you safe" and he hugged me and kissed me on the top of my head.
"O-ok I tr-rust you. He h-has a p-place near Norfolk he lives at 102 Riverdale Circle."
"Thanks we'll get him, and he'll go away for good."
"Be careful dad he's dangerous."
"I will," and he left. But what I didn't tell him was that Rex is actually my Uncle, he changed his name after he joined a gang. Also I didn't tell him that I just sent him to the most gun-crazy gang lord in DC.
GIBBS POV
I arrived up in the bullpen and I walked over to my desk and grabbed my badge and gun and I said, "Grab your gear."
Then Tony said, "Someone die boss?"
"Nope we found a print on a wine glass that matched a Rex 'Baby Face' Braxton."
"You have an address boss?"
"Ya DiNozzo 102 Riverdale Circle, near Norfolk. Let's go, Ziva your driving." We all put on bullet proof vests, just to be on the safe side, because you never know what part of town we are entering. We went outside and got in the car and Ziva drove extremely fast and we arrived at the location in twenty minutes. We got out of the car, guns drawn. I said, "Ziva, McGee go around back. DiNozzo with me. You guys wait for my signal before you enter. One more thing I want him alive because I want to watch that scum suffer and rot in jail." I addressed this last part mostly looking at Ziva, because after all she was in Mossad and trained to kill. They nodded and Ziva and McGee walked around to the back. Tony and I walked up the stairs on his front porch. Tony and I stood on each side of the door and I gave Tony a nod and he knocked on the door and said, "REX BRAXTON, N.C.I.S. OPEN THE DOOR." All of a sudden there was a loud bang as a gun went off repeatedly, all the bullets going through the front door. We didn't barge in until we heard the clicking of a gun running out of ammo. We broke through what was left of the door, guns drawn.
I had my gun pointed at his shoulder, he threw the shotgun on the floor and picked up a pistol on a near table and pointed it at me. I said, "Put down the gun Rex."
"Hell no and risk going to jail, again."
"A little late for that now Rex."
"What did my niece tip you off?"
"Who's your niece?"
"You know that little shit you adopted, well that thing is my niece, my own flesh and blood. It goes to show you a lot when your own blood tips you off. Well she's dead to me now."
I had heard enough so I said in my walkie talkie, "Ziva, McGee NOW." Ziva and McGee barged through the back door guns drawn. I gave a slight nod to Ziva to disarm him, because she has the best and fastest reflexes, and in any other case she could have done it without consequences. But, something went wrong, when she grabbed a hold of him and held on the gun they struggled the gun went up then the gun went down then BANG the gun went off and then there was a sharp pain in my left bicep. McGee cuffed Rex and put him in the squad car. I hadn't even realized I was on the ground until Tony was standing over me and he said, "Boss the ambulance is here. You're going to be fine."
As I was loaded onto the stretcher, with my good arm I pulled Tony close so he could hear me, "I'm going to kill her."
"Who and why boss?"
"Caitlyn because she failed to mention that, that gun-crazy man that just shot me was her Uncle. Get Ziva to pick her up and you and McGee go with her and then meet me at the hospital."
"On it boss."

KATE POV
I was in Abby's lab, I had changed in to my other clothes, when Tony and McGee barged through the door, and Tony said, "Come on Kate we have to go to the hospital."
A thousand things flashed through my mind, "Why what happened Tony? And where is my dad?" my eyes started to water.
"Well there was an accident…."
"What kind of accident Tony?"
"Your dad was shot…."
"Shot?"
"Yes Kate he is fine though he is in surgery and they retrieved the bullet. The bullet just missed the brachial artery the major blood vessel in the arm. He's going to be fine the doctor said he can go home tomorrow. Now come on we have to go."
Then Abby broke in her eyes were watering, "Can I come Tony?"
Tony replied, "No Abbs you have the kids to watch."
Then McGee broke in, "Go on Abbs, I'll watch the kids." Abby went over and hugged McGee and kissed him then thanked him. Tony called my mom and told her to meet us at the hospital in an hour because she was tied up at the moment. We went out front where Ziva was waiting with the car and we got in and Ziva drove like a mad woman to the hospital. The ride was silent except when I asked Tony, "Tony what is my father's mood like?"
Tony turned around and replied, "Well Kate he's pissed, he just got shot and…."
"And?"
"And Kate you lied to him."
Abby grabbed a hold of my hand and squeezed I didn't have to look at her face to know that the look in her eyes were full of sympathy, I could just tell by the way she touched me. We arrived at the hospital and Ziva pulled in front of the hospital and flashed her badge so we wouldn't get towed. All four of us got out of the car and Jenny had arrived and she got out of hers and all of us rushed inside and over to the front desk and Tony said, "Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs room please."
The woman behind the desk said, "I'm sorry sir, but visiting hours are over."
My words were full of rage, from the woman not telling us where his room is, and they also were full of grief, from what had happened to my dad and what's going to happen to me. I replied, "Tell me where my dad's fucking room is!" Tony covered my mouth with his hand and in reaction I sunk my teeth into his middle finger, my mom didn't see though she was over talking to a doctor. Tony yelped and pulled his hand away and before he landed a smack to my backside there was a voice behind us, "I heard you were looking for Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs?" Tony gave me the 'we'll talk about it later' look and we turned around. "Hello my name is Dr. Brad Pitt, I am your father/boss/husband's surgeon." He said shaking our hands. "Follow me I'll take you to his room." We followed Dr. Pitt down the hall to a room at the very end of the hall. We were all waiting outside and the doctor said, "You all can go in, but he specifically told me he wants to see Kate first."
I shook my head and Tony opened the door and pushed me in. my dad had already gotten dressed and he was staring out of the window, his arm bandaged, "Sit" he said. It's amazing how he can do that, how he knows it is you without even looking. But I knew it was in my best interest to sit so I sat on the edge of the hospital bed. He turned around and said, "Kate do you want to tell me anything?"
"None that I can think about dad."
He pulled a chair over and sat in front of me, "Caitlyn I think it would be best not to lie, you've already lied once, so I think it would be best to tell the truth."
"Well I lied to you about Rex being my Uncle and about him being a gun-crazy gang lord."
"Anything else?"
Oh crap how did he know I did something else, "Well I kind of swore again."
"Kind of?" he said raising an eyebrow.
"Ok…Ok I did swear again just now actually then I bit Tony when he covered my mouth."
"You bit him?"
"Yes I did… you going to spank me?"
"Yes, I told you about lying and swearing and you don't bite people. But I'm not going to do it here. Now you can tell the others to come in." I walked over to the door, opened it, and told everyone to come in.
Abby was the first one in and ran over and hugged my dad, "Oh Gibbs you scared me so much."
"I'm fine Abbs." When they broke the hug my mom walked over to my dad and embraced him in a hug and kissed him on the lips, "Oh Jethro I was so worried."
"I'm fine Jen let's go. They said I should spend the night but I'm fine." Of course there is no stopping Leroy Jethro Gibbs. We walked down the hall to the front desk and my dad checked himself out and I whispered to my mom, "Mom can I ride back to N.C.I.S. with Uncle Tony?"
My dad had just finished checking himself out and he turned around and said, "Nice try but we're not going back to N.C.I.S." Oh great, so I followed my mom and dad, who were holding hands, out to the car. When we got into the car I sat behind my mom, who was driving, on account of my dad being shot. I sat so close to the door you would have thought we were connected. The ride home was as silent as the dead victims Ducky thinks will answer him back during an autopsy. When we arrived at our house a half an hour later my mom parked in the driveway and they both got out of the car and I didn't move. My dad walked around to my side of the door and opened it, and I moved to the other side, "Come here Caitlyn." I shook my head, "Caitlyn, do you want to break yet another one of my rules?" I shook my head, "Then don't make me come in there and get you." I knew he would so I slid to the open door and planted my feet on the ground, and he grabbed a hold of my elbow and lead me to the house followed by Jenny. He brought me into the family room and sat me on the couch and my parents sat on the coffee table across from me.
No one spoke for a while, and the suspense was killing me, but my mom spoke first, "Kate, hon, why didn't you tell us Rex was your Uncle?"
"'cause"
Then my dad said, "'cause isn't good enough Caitlyn, you should have told me your Uncle was so violent because he could have come after you for putting you father away."
"He wouldn't"
"Yeah but you don't know that."
"Sorry sir, I was scared."
"I know you were, but I don't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to you."
I folded my arms, "Sorry sir"
I could tell my dad was losing his patience, "Sorry? Is that all you can say?"
"Jethro…..calm down let's just have this conversation peacefully."
"Ok Jenny, I'll try."
Even though it was delayed I decided to answer his question arms still crossed, "Well dad I would say more but you wouldn't like the words that come out of my mouth."
"Kate we'll revisit your attitude later, but that brings me to another point you have to stop swearing, if you swear even if it is as little as the word hell or if it is a slip of the tongue, you will end up over my knee."
"Understood sir."
"And one last thing you owe Tony an apology for biting him."
Jenny's eyes widened, "You bit Tony." Remember she was with the doctor at the time when she bit him.
"Yes sorry, it was a reflex when he put his hand over my mouth."
Then my dad spoke, "Ok Caitlyn go upstairs and wait in the corner, I'll be up in five and you better be in the corner when I get upstairs." So I went upstairs.
When I entered my room I shut the door behind me and I walked over to the window and opened it half way and I waited in the corner nearest my bed. Even though he told me to stay in the corner, when I heard his footsteps I panicked and I dove under the bed. Luckily my bed had a bed skirt so I couldn't be seen. The door opened, "Caitlyn come out," man my dad sounded pissed. I did my best to keep quiet and I think it worked also I think leaving my window opened threw him off, because I heard the door slam and fading footsteps. So I quietly slid out from underneath the bed, and I stood up and when I turned around I ran straight smack into an angry Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Thank you everyone for the reviews
I fell on the floor and landed hard on my butt with a loud smack and I yelped. My dad helped me up and said still pissed, "I thought I told you to stay in the corner." He kept his grip on my arm, probably afraid I'd run.
"You did and I was, I panicked."
"That doesn't matter, if you don't listen to me and if you keep breaking my rules then I will keep spanking you until you learn that you will not get away with lying to me and defying me."
"So there's no way of getting out of this?" he shook his head, "But what about your arm?"
"Caitlyn have you forgotten I am right handed and I was shot in the left, and I'm fine. Now I'll be right back, and you better be standing in this exact spot when I get back, or so help me god." He walked out of the room, I was too scared to move my heart was beating so fast, and for the first time today I did as I was told. My dad returned with a small, brown, and polished object in his hand, a hairbrush. Oh great, I know exactly how the hairbrush feel, my biological father used it on me all the time. The first time he used it was when I got a C on a test. My dad shut the door behind him and he walked over to me and grabbed a hold of my arm and led me over to the bed. My dad sat down on the edge of the bed, and he stood me in front of him, and still keeping his grip on my arm he pulled my pants and underwear down to my knees, then he draped me over his lap. With his injured arm he held me down but not too tightly, because he didn't want his wound to tear, and because of that I didn't want to fight him. With his good arm he lifted the hairbrush and brought it down with force that brought me to tears. "OW!" SMACK SMACK "C-come o-on d-dad" SMACK SMACK "Tha-at hu-urts" SMACK SMACK "S-s-stop" After he landed two more burning smacks to my backside he set the hairbrush down next to him but his hand still came down twenty more times. Then he picked up the hairbrush again and brought it down ten more times and he stopped when I was sobbing hard, the tears just wouldn't quit. He rubbed my back and was soothing me, my butt was on fire, and you probably could roast marshmallows on it. He pulled my underwear and pants up and he sat me on his lap careful so my butt wouldn't make any contact with his legs. I hugged him while I cried and he rocked me back and forth singing a country song by Jason Michael Carroll called, "Hurry Home."
He's been sitting by the phone since she left
But it's time for work and he just can't be late
So he grabs his old guitar
And he plays a couple bars on the machine
And then he softly sings
Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home
Well the message light was blinking when he got back
It was an old friend calling cause he just heard the news
He says Man I hope you find her
If I see her I'll remind her that her dad is worried
And want her to know
Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home
Well the days dragged by without a word from her
And it looked like she might not be coming back
People said man don't you think it's time to take that old message off
He said no, you never know when she might call
She was just outside a bar in New York City
Her so-called friends had left her all alone
She was scared he wouldn't want her
But she dialed up that old number and let it ring
And then she heard him sing
Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home
He walked in just in time to hear her say
Dad, I'm on my way
My dad truly has a beautiful voice. Even though I want to be mad at him for spanking me, the way he comforts me after he punishes me is what I love about him, (I love a lot about him.) my crying has softened but I still clung to him, he didn't seem to mind though, he just kept rocking me back and forth, "Shh Shh baby girl."
"Da-ad I-I-I am-am s-so s-s-sorry."
"I know you are kiddo, just don't do anything like that…"
"B-but I-I s-s-should ha-ave j-just to-old you it-t was s-s-stupid of m-me not t-too."
"Hon, kids make mistakes, just don't do that again I hate when I have to spank you. You are grounded for another week, and since I got injured I have a few days off so you will stay with me and write lines and do chores around the house."
"Understood sir. Dad can you lay with me for a while?"
"Sure," he stood me up and made up the bad, he kicked off his shoes and got into the bed then I got into the bed next to him and laid my head on the pillow lying on my stomach, clinging to his stomach, while he rubbed my back, and sang another song but I didn't catch the words because I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Thank you everyone for the reviews
I woke up the next morning at 0800, my butt was still on fire. I opened my backpack and took the lotion out and applied it to my backside, then I winced when I pulled on my shorts but the lotion helped a little. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and I splashed some water on my face then dried. I pulled my hair back into a pony tail and I put a black N.C.I.S. hat on. I opened the door and made my way downstairs and into the kitchen, my dad was sitting at the table reading the newspaper. I walked over to the cabinet and grabbed a bowl then I grabbed the milk from the fridge, and I poured myself a bowl of Frosted Slakes and began to eat my breakfast standing. Not looking up from his paper my dad said, "Kate sit down."
"Dad do I hafta?" all he did was the corner of his paper so he could see me and I knew it would be best to sit down so I did and squeaked. So I ate super fast so I could stand again. In between bites I said, "Dad we should really get a dog." Then I shoved another bite in my mouth.
"Ok"
That stopped me and I looked up from my food and said, "Ok?"
"Yeah if you stay out of trouble for the rest of the week and do all of your chores we'll take you to the shelter on Saturday."
I got up from my seat and went over and hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you!"
"Ok…Ok you have to behave though and your mom and I have something to tell you but later when she's here. Now wash your dishes and then take the trash out."
"Ok I love you dad."
"I love you too Kate." I finished eating and washed my dishes and then I took the trash out. When I came back in my dad wasn't in the kitchen anymore so he was probably in the basement working on his boat. He left a note on the kitchen table with a pad of paper saying I had to write 'I will listen to my parents' one hundred times. If I wanted a dog I better any little task he asks of me so I sat down and winced, and I picked up the pencil and got writing. An hour and a half later, my butt was burning, but I finally stood up and paper in hand I walked down to the basement and handed my dad the sheet of paper of my lines, "Dad I finished."
"Good girl let's go to N.C.I.S."
"But dad I thought you were given a few days off because of your injury."
"Nothing can keep me from work. Now come on." The ride to N.C.I.S was unbearably uncomfortable. When we arrived up in the bullpen all heads popped up and McGee said, "Boss what are you doing here?" but my dad ignored him I followed him up the stairs to my mom's office. My dad just barged through the doors and I followed, "Oh Jethro what are you doing here? I thought I gave you a few days off?"
"You did Jen, I just came so we could tell Kate that thing we wanted to tell her." She nodded and tossed me a pillow from behind her desk and I sat on the couch. They pulled two chairs over and sat in front of me, "Well Jenny first of all I told Kate that if she behaves we can go to the shelter and get a dog."
Then my mom said, "I think a dog will be great to have, but you have to behave." I nodded, "Secondly, your father and I were thinking…..Jethro." I was confused now.
"What your mother's trying to say is how would you like to have a younger brother."
"What?"
"Well honey your dad and I were thinking of adopting a seven year old boy."
"That's awesome! What's his name? When's he getting here?"
Then my dad said, "Woah slow down. His name is Brent Pacci Jackson, he is seven and he's coming home next Wednesday." Well today is Monday so that's nine days until he gets here and five days until I get a dog.
"Awesome I can't wait to tell the others." I got up and was about to leave when my dad grabbed a hold of my arm and said, "Where are you going."
"To Abby dad."
"Ok remember behave yourself." I nodded and walked out of the room and raced down to Abby's lab. I entered the lab so fast that I almost knocked Abby off her feet, "Hey Kate where are you going so fast, wait a second how'd you get here."
"Well my dad drove me here, but that's beside the point guess what."
She just stared at me "What?"
"Well first of all my dad and mom said I could get a dog."
"Oh that's so cool."
"I know they said they'd take me to the shelter on Saturday if I behave for the rest of the week."
"Ooh that's going to be tough for you."
"ABBY!" and I playfully punched her in the arm and she giggled, "Also my parents are adopting a seven year old boy named Brent Pacci Jackson."
"Oh Kate that's awesome." She embraced me tightly in a hug.
"OW! Abby careful I haven't gotten over my last confrontation with my dad."
"Oh sorry Kate, when does he get here?
"Next Wednesday I can't wait."
"I know it's so exciting to add another one to the family lets go tell the others." We were about to leave when I said, "What about Bella and Lori?"
"There at the house."
"Alone?"
"No silly," she touched my nose, "they're with McGee's sister Sarah." I looked confused, "You'll meet her later." I smiled then we took the elevator up to the bullpen. My dad wasn't there so he was probably still in my mom's office. Then Abby said, "Kate has something to tell you guys." Ducky and Jimmy just happened to be there.
Then Tony said, "Campfire." Then everyone moved their chairs in a circle and Tony said, "Sit Kate."
"No thanks I'll stand."
Then Tony said, "Ooh what'd he use on you this time?" and Ziva head slapped him hard, "That is not any of your business my little hairy butt, now let her talk."
"Thank Ziva, if I behave for the rest of the week I can get a dog."
Then Tony said, "Tough one for you Kate," only to be head slapped by Ziva again causing him to yelp.
Everyone congratulated me and I continued, "Also my parents are adopting a seven year old boy named Brent Pacci Jackson, he arrives next Wednesday."
Ziva hugged me, "Kate I am so happy for you." Everyone congratulated me and I looked over at CK and he looked sad, "Thank you every one." Then I walked over to Carlos and whispered in his ear, "CK this doesn't change what we have," and he smiled.

Chapter 25
Sorry I haven't posted in a while my computer was on the fritz. : )
I woke up on Saturday morning at 0800. YES! Today was the day my parents are taking me to the animal shelter. My butt doesn't hurt that bad anymore, I only wince every now and then, but on the bright side I haven't done anything bad to get punished this week. I leapt out of bed and rummaged through my closet for something to wear. I finally pulled out a pair of jeans and slipped them on. I put on my cowboy boots over my socks, and I pulled a life is good shirt over my head. Then I raced downstairs to the kitchen where my parents were sitting, dressed, and drinking coffee. "We going yet, come on, let's go."
Then my dad said, "Slow down hon, I know you're excited but you need to eat first."
"Ok dad," I put and English muffin in the toaster, and when it was done I buttered it and sat down, a little too hard though and I winced. I finished my food in five minutes, and with my mouth full I said, "Done canf wef gof knowf?"
My mom said, "Swallow Kate," I swallowed, "Please," I said. They both smiled, "Ok let's go." We went out to the car, got in, and we made the hour drive to the shelter.
When we got to the shelter my mom parked the car, she insisted on driving because of my dad's arm. When we got inside we went straight to the dog section and my mom said, "Remember Kate you don't have to choose one today, if you don't see one you like we can come back tomorrow." I nodded and walked around the shelter. They were all cute but none interested me until I saw a six month old mixed breed puppy. He was mixed between a Doberman Pincher and a German Shepherd and his name is Spartan. I knelt down and the silky, smooth coated pup stumbled over, and licked my fingers through the cage, the first dog to do that to me today. My parents rounded the corner and I said, "I want this one."
My dad said "You sure?" I nodded, "Alright let's go talk to the front desk." When we went to the front desk my dad did most of the talking, "Hello we would like to adopt a dog."
The man behind the desk, who's nametag read Mike, said, "Sure which one?"
"The mixed breed named Spartan."
"Ok just fill out this paperwork," and he handed him some paperwork to fill out. After my dad finished the paperwork he handed them to Mike and said, "When can we take him home?"
"Well he's been neutered and he has all his shots, so today if you'd like."
"Please, dad," he looked at me, "Alright."
Then Mike said, "Ok I'll go get him. These are for you," he handed my dad a bed, collar, leash, and food for a week, and some toys. When Mike returned he was walking the little pup and I said, "Dad can I walk him?"
"Sure I don't see why not, he is yours." I smiled and Mike handed me the leash and said, "Good luck." When we got to the car my dad put the supplies in the trunk and I said, "Can I hold him on the ride home?"
The both said, "Sure." When we got in the car my dad's phone rang, "Yeah Gibbs…..fine after I drop Jenny and Kate off….ok we'll be right there." Then he hung up his phone, "We have to go to N.C.I.S."
Then my mom said, "Why?"
"Tony wouldn't say he just said it's really important." The whole ride to N.C.I.S. Spartan slept in my arms while I scratched his neck. When we got there I was holding Spartan and we walked into the building my mom and dad dropped Spartan and I off at Abby's lab and the rode up to the bullpen.
GIBBS POV
In the bullpen Jenny and I got off the elevator, hand in hand. Ziva and McGee were at their desks doing paperwork and Tony was in the phone. I let go of Jenny's hand and walked over to Tony's desk, he held his finger up telling me to wait, and I caught the last bit of his conversation as he spun around, "Sorry about that…..Hello?" I pressed the button on the phone to shut it off and Tony spun back around, "Hey boss what'd ya do that for?" I head slapped him, "OW! Boss!"
"Tell me DiNozzo what was so damn important that you just had to call me on my day off?"
"Well boss I thought you should know…."
"Spit it out Tony!"
"Well Luka's parole hearing is coming up in a few weeks."
"Wait a damn second DiNozzo you mean to tell me their letting this bastard get paroled? Why the HELL didn't you tell me this before?"
Then Jenny jumped in, "Calm down….Jethro."
"CALM DOWN I can't calm down Jen, I promised our little girl that her father will go away for good. So no I can't calm down Jen."
Her eyes started to fill with water and I walked over to her and embraced her in a hug and she said, "I understand Jethro, so do something about it."
"Like what Jen?"
"Testify so he will go away for good."
KATE POV
When I entered Abby's lab I was holding Spartan and Abby turned around and she beamed and ran over to me, "Oh Kate he's so adorable," she said scratching his neck, "What's his name?"
"Spartan."
"Oh I love it, with a name like that you won't be needing this," and she removed the solid green collar he was wearing and replaced it with a solid black spiked collar, "Now that suits you more," and Spartan barked in approval.
"Oh Abby it's awesome and I think he likes it too," we giggled. We sat on the floor, and I set Spartan down and we rolled a tennis ball back and forth while Spartan chased it. "Hey Abby where are all the kids?"
"With Sarah."
"Can we go to your house? I want to meet her."
"Sure let me call Gibbs first," she got out her phone and rang my dad after she hung up she said, "He said it's fine, and you can bring Spartan, he said he'll pick you up later, and I'll be staying at the house, also he told you to behave."
"I'll try Abby," and I grinned and picked up Spartan and we went to the garage and piled in the Hearse and drove to the McGee residence. We got to the McGee residence a little after 1200. I picked up Spartan and we walked up the steps and Abby put her house key in the knob and turned it and it opened. Then a girl with brown wavy hair about seventeen came over, "Hey Abbs I wasn't expecting you until later. Who's this?" Abby put her hands on the teen and said, "Sarah this is Caitlyn Gibbs. Kate meet Sarah McGee, Tim's sister."
"I got that Abby when you said Sarah McGee."
"Caitlyn don't start."
Sarah put out her hand and shook mine, "Pleased to meet you, and who's this," she said patting Spartan's neck.
"Likewise, this little guy is my new puppy, Spartan."
"He's so cute."
"Thanks, where is everyone?"
"There in the playroom, come on I'll show you." Sarah grabbed my hand and started pulling me out of the room when Abby said, "Caitlyn behave, Sarah watch her closely."
Then Sarah said, "A little over dramatic Abbs. I mean what could possibly happen?"
But Abby knew full well what she is capable of, if you put her in the same room with Carlos, it is like putting a bull in a china shop.
Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Chapter 26
When we entered the playroom Sarah put a gate up to prevent Spartan from wondering around the house. "Hey guys Kate's here," Carlos immediately stopped playing 'Clue' and he got up and walked over to me and hugged me and kissed me on the cheek, "Hey Kate, who's this fellow?"
"Everyone meet Spartan, my new pup."
Then Bella said, "He's so…"
"…adorable" Lori finished.
"Thanks guys," I said setting Spartan down, who immediately was curious and started sniffing and he stumbled over to Jake who sat down and giggled, "Goggie, I wuv you!"
Jake was playing with Spartan, Sarah, Bella, and Lori went back to their game of 'Clue' and CK and I sat down in the corner and just talked, "CK what do you want to do?"
"Well we can't do much Sarah's always watching us, one thing wrong she will tell Abby or McGee who then will probably tell our parents."
"I have an idea," then I said to Sarah, "Hey Sarah can CK and I take Spartan out he needs to go to the bathroom."
Not looking up from her game she said, "Sure, just hurry back." I picked Spartan up and CK and I went to the back door Abby was in the kitchen, we made sure her back was to us before we snuck out the back door. When we got outside Spartan did his business and rolled on his back and I scratched his belly, "See I told you it would be easy to get away." He chuckled, I spotted a football, "Here catch," he caught it and returned the pass, "CK go long!" I threw it hard, but I didn't realize my own strength because the football went right through the downstairs window with a loud CRASH!
"Shit, Kate."
"Follow me," we booked it, I scooped up Spartan and we sprinted to the side gate.
ABBY POV
I was in the kitchen sitting at the table drinking a Caf-Pow when this object flew through the window, a football. I picked up the football and stormed to the backyard, which I found empty. Then I stormed to the playroom, "SARAH AVERY MCGEE I thought I told you to watch the kids?"
She looked up, "I was…am Abby."
"Then where are Kate and Carlos?"
"I let them take Spartan outside to go to the bathroom."
"Alone? And there not there and now I have a broken window."
"Sorry Abby."
"Not as sorry as you're going to be when Tim gets home. Well we have to find them." She looked down at her feet, "How Abby?"
"You call Tim and I'll call the others."
"Can't you call Timmy?" I just stared at her, "Ok I'll call him, Jeeze Abbs."
"Hey don't start your already in enough trouble as it is." She pulled out her phone and dialed Timmy and I took out my phone and dialed Gibbs.
KATE POV
We were sitting on the side of the house, which was also fenced so you couldn't see us from the street. The fence leads up to the front of the house. We were sitting there for ten minutes, "What are we going to do Kate?"
"I don't know CK."
"They probably called your dad by now."
"Oh shit, I'm in big trouble now." All of a sudden Spartan started whining, "Shh Spartan shh," then he barked and a grey-haired man was peering over the fence, "Hey dad" "Hey Gibbs."
"Don't start you two now get over here!" I set Spartan down and held the leash and I went over to the gate and unlatched it and I looked at my dad, his feet apart, arms crossed, as if I'm not already in enough trouble I decided to run. Spartan and I got as far as the driveway when Uncle Tony jumped out of a bush and grabbed me by the waist and said, "Not so fast Caitlyn!"
"Damn you Tony," which only resulted in me being spun around and his hand making contact with my backside a dozen times.
"OW!" I said rubbing my butt, "Sorry," he marched me over to my dad. Carlos and I were led inside to the family room where Uncle Tim and Sarah were sitting. Tim on a couch opposite Sarah. Carlos and I sat on the couch with Sarah as Uncle Tony and my dad sat on the couch with Uncle Tim. Abby came in and took Spartan probably because he could potentially be a distraction. No one spoke until my dad said, "Alright who broke the window?"
Then Sarah got up and said, "I can see that I didn't do this so I'll just leave you guys to it," she was about to leave when Tim said firmly, "Sit down Sarah, you were a part of it from the beginning when you decided to let them outside alone." She sat back down.
Then my dad repeated his question, "I'm not going to ask again, who broke the window?"
Then I decided to give myself up, "Um… I did dad."
And Tony said, "Why am I not surprised," then my dad head slapped him hard, "OW! Sorry boss."
"I'm sorry dad it was an accident."
"Then why'd you run?"
Then Carlos jumped in, "Well Gibbs, sir, we were nervous and we weren't thinking."
"Well that's obvious, McGee sorry about the window, I'll pay for it."
"Thanks Boss."
"No problem Tim, now I'm going home to deal with this and I expect you to do the same. Ok Caitlyn let's go." I grabbed Spartan and I followed my dad to the car and we left, as did Tony and Carlos.

Chapter 27
SARAH POV
SARAH'S ROOM, MCGEE RESIDENCE
I was sitting on the edge of my bed and Tim was sitting on a chair across from me. "Timmy I didn't do anything wrong."
"You did Sarah, we trusted you to watch them."
"I was watching them Tim."
"If you were watching them Sarah, you wouldn't have let them outside alone, and if you were watching them I wouldn't have a broken window."
"I'm sorry Tim, what are you going to do to me? What's my punishment?"
"Well Sarah you didn't listen to me about watching them, so I'm going to spank you."
"Spank me? But I'm too old to be spanked, and plus the dog needed to go out."
"First of all no one is too old to be spanked. Second of all didn't Abby tell you to watch her closely?"
"Yes she did Tim and I guess I didn't listen to her I'm sorry Timmy."
"Ok then come here."
"Timmy you can't spank me I'm your sister."
"Ya but you are my responsibility when our parents arn't here, now Sarah I'm not going to ask again." I shook my head and Timmy grabbed my wrist and pulled me over his lap and landed a hard SMACK to my backside "OW" SMACK "Timmy not" SMACK "SO hard" SMACK I kept trying to get up SMACK "Sarah quit" SMACK "Moving" SMACK on the tenth he stopped and wrapped me in a hug.
"N-now what Tim?"
"Now we never speak of this again, but from now on until further notice you can come to work with me."
"Ok Tim"
"Sarah Avery McGee welcome to the family."
CARLOS POV
CK'S ROOM, DINOZZO RESIDENCE
"Dad you don't have to spank me."
"Ya I do son. You disobeyed me…"
"No I di…"
"You did son you went off alone and ran when you broke the window. Now let's just get this over with." I nodded and walked over to where he was sitting on my bed on the John Wayne comforter. I nodded again and he pulled me over his lap, and brought his hand down. Even though his hand only came down twenty five times on the seat of my jeans, it still made my ass feel like it was on fire. He stood me up and gave me a quick hug, "CK you are grounded and I want you to stay out of trouble."
"I'll try dad."
He ruffled my hair, "No…..you will."
KATE POV
FAMILY ROOM
I was sitting on the couch and my parents were sitting on the coffee table across from me. My dad, like usual, was the first to speak, "Kate before we deal with today's actions…."
"But…"
"Caitlyn don't interrupt your father."
"Sorry dad"
He nodded and continued, "Ok, your mother and I need to tell you something."
"What dad?"
"I will testify….."
"For who dad?"
"Your father….."
"But dad he's already in jail."
"Honey," my mom said, "his parole hearing is in a few weeks….."
I turned to my dad my eyes filled with tears, "You promised."
"I know, but…"
"You fucking promised and now that bastard's getting paroled."
"Caitlyn I know your upset but I will not tolerate being spoken to like that now go to your room. I'll be up in a minute." I brought Spartan upstairs and sat on my bed and I laid down with him and waited for my dad. I was scratching his neck when my parents walked in, my mom came over and picked up Spartan and brought him out of the room and downstairs to feed him, and left me alone with my dad, and he shut the door and said, "Caitlyn…."
"Dad can we just get this over with?" he nodded and sat on the edge of my bed and pointed to a spot in front of him which I walked over and stood in, "Drop the pants." I didn't even hesitate , I pulled my pants down and pulled myself over his lap he pulled my underwear down and held me down with one arm and he brought his other hand down, I winced but I didn't cry out or yell at him I just laid there and let the tears fall while he kept spanking me. I lost count on how many times his hand fell but he finally stopped. He stood me up and pulled my pants up. But before I hugged him there was a whining and scratching sound behind the door. I opened the door and Spartan trotted inside and over to his bed and he circled a few times and he finally found a spot and lied down. I shut the door and walked over to my dad's outstretched arms, he hugged me and set me on his lap and rocked me back and forth singing Kenny Chesney's song, "Don't Blink."
I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is ."
Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, one hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't Blink
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hour glass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth
Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
So I've been tryin' to slow it down
I've been tryin' to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in
Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and ya'
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't Blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So Don't Blink
No, don't blink
don't blink
life goes faster than you think
so don't blink
don't blink
life goes faster than you think
don't blink
life goes faster than you think
After my dad finished the song Spartan was sitting on the floor staring up at us, tail wagging, I chuckled and said, "Jealous much?" and he yipped I got up from my dad's lap and picked him up. My dad made up my bed and laid down and I got in next to him and set Spartan down in the middle of us. We both scratched his neck, "I love you dad," my eyes were still teary.
He brushed a tear away and said, "I love you too kiddo. I think you picked a great dog."
"I did, didn't I. would I be able to take him to N.C.I.S.?"
"I don't see why not he's bonding well with you and he's following you everywhere you go."
"He does, doesn't he? Thank you dad and I'll work off paying for the window."
He cocked an eyebrow, "Like doing what?"
"I'll file papers and….." *YAWN,* "other stuff…"
He kissed my head, "Ok kiddo you get some rest now." I then slowly drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Chapter 28
Thank you everyone for the reviews. Also thank you everyone who says it is my story because it is and I don't like being told how to write it. I like ideas and what not like who I should spank but I don't like being told who I shouldn't spank.
I woke up at 0700 to a whining sound. I winced when I got out of bed, "You have to go out boy?" in response his tail wagged back and forth. I pulled on some sweats and scooped him up and walked downstairs, I set him down and hooked a leash to his spiked collar, I walked him outside and he did his business. I brought him inside and I fed him and I made myself some toast and I finished it right when my parents walked into the room. "Kate, honey, did you feed Spartan and let him out?"
"Yes mom, when do we leave?"
My dad spoke, "Now I guess." I put the leash back on Spartan and I picked him up and everyone went out to the car and piled in and we drove to N.C.I.S. the ride was uncomfortable but we finally arrived. We rode the elevator up to the bullpen; I introduced Spartan to Ziva because she hasn't met him yet. Then my dad set me up in the corner by the stairs, "Kate I need you to deliver these," he said handing me envelopes, "then I need you to sort these out by date."
"You serious?"
He cocked an eyebrow, "Don't you dare think that I won't drag you to the interrogation room, because I will."
I gulped, "Understood sir."
"Good girl," and he went back to his desk. I looked at the first envelope which read 'Abigail Sciuto.' I picked up Spartans leash, "Come on boy," and he followed me to the elevator and we rode down to the lab. I entered the lab and Abby was typing away at her computer listening to Plastic Death, which was blaring. "Abby," she didn't hear me, "ABBY!" she spun around, "Jeeze Kate, I thought you were supposed to be helping your dad?"
"I was…..am this is for you," I handed her an envelope. "Thanks and these are for you," she handed me a badge and a dog shirt that read N.C.I.S. K-9 on the back of it. "Oh Abby thanks there so cute," I put the shirt on Spartan and I hooked the badge to his collar. "You're welcome, now git going before you get in trouble," she gave me a bear hug and we left. My next stop was Autopsy to deliver one for Jimmy and Ducky. Spartan followed me into Autopsy. Jimmy, who is like a cousin, wasn't there, but I spotted Ducky, "Ducky!" and I ran over to him and hugged him.
"Hello Caitlyn," and he returned the hug. Ducky is like the grandfather type figure on the team, "What can I do for you my dear?"
"This is for you and Jimmy," I handed him the envelopes.
"Thank you Caitlyn. Now run along," I gave him another quick hug and went back upstairs, because all I had to do was deliver those three envelopes. When I got to the desk to sort out the papers by date I was afraid to sit because my butt was still on fire. I sat down and immediately stood up I walked over to my dad's desk and Spartan followed. I stood over my dad's desk and he looked up and said, "Can I help you Caitlyn?"
I whispered in his ear, "Dad can I have a pillow?" he chuckled, "Please dad I already delivered the envelopes and I'm going to do the other thing, pleeease."
"Oh all right," and he handed me a pillow and I booked it back to the corner before Tony could comment, and Spartan followed me. I sat on the pillow and winced, and I picked up Spartan and set him on my lap. I was halfway through sorting the cases by date around noon. My dad came over he gave me a sandwich, and said, "How's it coming?"
"Fine what's up?"
"Well we have a case."
"You want me in Abby's lab?"
"I want you to finish this, but no I don't want you in the lab I want you in mom's office." He picked up the papers and I grabbed my sandwich and I followed him to my mom's office and Spartan followed. We entered her office and she came over and gave my dad a kiss, "Jen make sure she behaves."
"I will Jethro, ok I set up a desk in the corner so you can finish what your dad assigned you."
"Ok mom," then my dad kissed the top of my head and said, "Behave" and he and the team left.
An hour later my dad and the team still had not returned. I looked over at my mom, she was on the phone I got up and said, "Mom I'm going to the bathroom then I'm going to get Spartan a drink."
She put her hand over the speaker on the phone and said, "Ok, hon, hurry back, and don't do anything to get into trouble."
"Who? Me mom?" she chuckled. I walked downstairs and Spartan followed at my heels. But before I went to the bathroom, it was time for a little payback. I am going to get Tony back for spanking me all those times. The downside to this plan is I know without a doubt I'm going to get spanked, but I couldn't resist. I went over to his desk I made sure no one was coming, and they weren't, so I opened the middle draw of his desk and smiled when I saw a screwdriver and superglue. I took the screwdriver and loosened every single screw on his chair and desk. Then I took the superglue and careful not to press to hard I super glued every single small object to his desk from pencils, to his stapler, to his phone. "Come on Spartan," I went to the bathroom and then I filled his bowl and placed it on the ground and he drank it. Then I filled a water bottle just in case he got thirst again. We went back up to my mom's office, "Kate what took you so long?"
"Um….. I let him have a long drink downstairs." It wasn't entirely a lie. Ten minutes later my dad and the team returned, I knew they came back because I could hear Tony loudly talking about a movie the case reminded him about. Five minutes later there was a loud CRASH my mom stared at me and then a voice boomed, "CAITLYN GET DOWN HERE!"
Chapter 29: Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Thank you everyone for the reviews
"Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs what did you do?"
"Nothing mom."
"Don't you dare lie to me," she walked over to me and grabbed my ear, "Ow ow ow," she dragged me downstairs, and left Spartan in her office. She didn't let go of my ear until we were next to my dad. Ok I have to admit it was a funny sight to see, Tony was still on the ground, and Ziva was helping him up. Parts of his chair was scattered around him, and his desk was in pieces on the floor with office objects glued to the small wooden pieces of what was left of his desk. I mumbled, "Expect more where that's coming" which were the first words Tony said to me after he spanked me for the first time. But I was spanked a dozen times for that remark. I spun around and glared at my dad who said, "Don't look at me." I stared at my mom, mouth open in shock because that's the first time she spanked me, then she said firmly, "Caitlyn apologize."
I turned around and said, "Sorry Uncle Tony." Then Tony, who had finally gotten to his feet said, "Oh yeah, just wait until I get my hands on you", he started to lunge at me and Ziva held me back. Then my dad said, "Calm down DiNozzo!"
"Sorry boss"
"Don't apologize Tony," meanwhile I was attached to my mom's hip. But when I heard my dad say Tony will deal with me now and he'll deal with me later I released my grip and backed into a nearby corner then Tony said, "Ok boss, come on Caitlyn." I shook my head and my dad said, "Caitlyn I suggest you go with your Uncle." I looked at my mother for sympathy but she said, "Go Caitlyn you knew what you were getting into." I decided to own up to my actions so I walked over to Tony and he took my hand and brought me to the interrogation room, the grip he had on my hand was so tight that I was pleading for him to let go but he ignored me. We got inside and he let go and slammed the door and locked it. He walked over and pulled two chairs over and said, "Sit," I shook my head. "Caitlyn you have two choices you can sit down now or you can sit uncomfortably." I gulped and I decided it would be in my best interest to sit so I did and then he sat down across from me. He just stared at me and I said, "What?"
I saw his jaw clench, "You know what. Do you want to tell me why you unscrewed all the screws on my chair and desk and why you super glued objects to my desk?"
"Not particularly"
"Caitlyn I suggest you lose that attitude."
"Didn't think I had one," Tony grabbed my arm and he pulled me over his lap so fast I didn't know what hit me, except for his hand of course. He gave me fifteen hard swats and he set me back in the chair. My eyes were wet with tears because he reignited the fire in my butt from yesterdays spanking, "So you want to tell me why?"
"The truth?"
"That would be nice."
"Well I wanted to get back at you….."
"For?"
I moved in the chair to get comfortable, "Spanking me, I knew what would happen but I couldn't resist."
"I'll see to it that you will resist now let's get this over with."
"But Tony you already spanked me."
"For the attitude, not for the desk incident."
"This is ridiculous, I'm outta here," I reached the door and had my hand on the knob and Tony stood up and said, "Open that door and I won't hesitate to take the belt to you." He started to unbuckle his belt to emphasize his point and I was at his feet in seconds "That's what I thought," and he buckled the belt back up again. He sat back down and tugged my sweats and underwear down and draped me over his lap. He held me down with one arm and his hand came down with a sharp SMACK which brought me to tears, I put my hands back to protect myself but he held both my hands at my back. "Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs" SMACK SMACK SMACK "you will never" SMACK SMACK SMACK "do that again" SMACK SMACK SMACK "I could have" SMACK SMACK SMACK "really gotten hurt" SMACK SMACK SMACK "I-I-I-m-m s-s-sorry U-uncle T-tony" I sobbed. He stopped and rubbed circles on my back he stood me up and pulled my underwear and sweats back up and I flung my arms around his neck and he set me on his lap so my butt didn't make contact with his lap, he rocked me back and forth singing Bitter and Blue
I've got a query
So I'll riddle you
You and your theories,
Divine false and true
But what about
The gnawing doubt inside
Here's mud in your eye
Oh the beholder
So steadfast and true
Observing the wreckage
From his point of view
In revolt of long lost hope
Oh, yeah
Here's mud in your eye
I'm thoughtful and
I'm gloomy and
Bitter and blue
Thoughtful and
Gloomy and
Bitter and blue
So give me an answer
A place and a time
A way to advance
A cosmic sign
And I'll show you
My point of view
Oh, yeah
Yeah, I'll show you
I haven't been happy
In such a long time
Cloudy and grey skies
Instead of sunshine
I guess that's how
I'm looking now
So pale
Like I'm in disguise
I'm thoughtful and
I'm gloomy and
Bitter and blue
Thoughtful and
Gloomy and
Bitter and blue
If it's precious then why is it so cheap?
I haven't been happy
In such a long time
Cloudy and grey skies
Instead of sunshine
I guess that's how
I'm looking now
So pale
Like I'm in disguise
I'm thoughtful and
I'm gloomy and
Bitter and blue
Thoughtful and
Gloomy and
Bitter and blue
After he was finished I said, "Uncle Tony that was beautiful."
"You like it, I wrote it."
"Wow"
"Next time we have our 'family' get together I'll play my guitar."
"Ok"
"Just stay out of trouble and no more pranks on me."
"Deal, do you think my dad's still gonna spank me?"
"Oh kiddo I wouldn't put it past him." He kissed my forehead, "Come on" he held my hand and we went back to the bullpen.

WARNING SEX SCENE=TIVA
When we arrived in the bullpen there was a new desk and chair in the spot where Tony's old one use to be and the area was all cleaned up. There was a chair next to my dad's desk and when he spoke he sounded pissed, "Sit."
"Can I…"
"No sit," I sat down and yelped, I almost jumped up but didn't want to risk doing that. I am never going to be able to sit comfortably again. He spun his chair around to face me, "Caitlyn you could have seriously injured my agent today."
"I'm sorry dad, what are you going to do?"
"Well I am going to spank you later tonight…."
"Come on dad Tony already spanked me…and it hurts."
"Suppose to, and I think for this stunt you pulled you deserve two. Also you are going to write 'I will never do things that can injure myself or others' you will write now until we leave."
"Dad?" he stared at me "Ok….ok but can mom bring Spartan down." He nodded and rang my mom and she opened the door and my dad whistled. Spartan ran out the door and raced down the stairs and leapt onto my lap and I started writing. When it was time to go I had a little over three hundred lines. Before we left I apologized to Tony once more amd we walked to the car.
TONY POV
"Hey Zi where's McAbsense?"
"He is in the lab, let's get out of here."
"What about the kids?"
"I have spoken to McGee he said he will bring the kids by later, they where into a game they were playing."
I smiled, no kids for the afternoon, "Why didn't you say so, come on Ziva what are you waiting for your driving." She was super fast driving home and cut our usual time in half. When we were in our room I already had my shirt off Ziva smiled and said, "Oh Tony before we get to that first thing is first you did not go to hard on her did you?"
"No I didn't Zi, she deserved it though, I could've really gotten hurt."
"I understand, honey, are you feeling ok?"
"Well sweet cheeks, I am a little sore." She came over and started to massage my shoulders, on the bed. "Oh baby that feels good."
"You like?"
"YA but you know what I would like more?"
"What?"
"This," I turned around and pushed her down on the bed and started to kiss her, she giggled. I stopped kissing her and unbuttoned her shirt and unhooked her bra, and she worked on my pants and soon we had no clothes. I was extremely hard and I rubbed against her leg as I kissed her deeply. We moaned and groaned and she rolled over so she was on top I ran my fingers through her long black hair, "Oh baby," she grabbed my length and guided me inside her. We stayed together for a long time and we rocked back and forth and into orgasm.
KATE POV
When we arrived home my dad didn't say a word. We went inside and I fed Spartan and grabbed a quick bite to eat and then my dad said, "Go to your room I'll be up later." I picked Spartan up and brought him to my room, I shut the door and took off his outfit and I put my pajamas on. I was lying on my stomach patting him for an hour when my dad walked in, he came over and scooped up Spartan and put him outside the door and shut it. I was still lying on my stomach when he said, "Sit up."
"No thanks I'll pass."
"Caitlyn don't test me." I sat up and winced, he brought over a chair and sat in front of me.
"You know you don't have to spank me, right?"
"I don't?"
"No I've already been spanked."
"True but you deserve two after that stunt you pulled and you know it. Now come here." I stood up and started to remove my pajama bottoms when my dad said, "Leave 'em" I didn't question him because then I'm sure I would lose them. I pulled myself over his lap and he wasted no time as the first SMACK fell which brought me to tears. He only brought his hand down twenty times but it hurt like hell because of yesterdays spanking and the one I received from Tony. After he was done he stood me up and I climbed up on to his lap and rested my head on his shoulders and cried and being the Marine that my dad is he rocked me back and forth while he sang the David Ball song, "Riding with Private Malone,"
I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds
When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye
The Lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
And when I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
What she called a Chevy was a '66 Corvette
And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
But what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
The date was 1966 and this is what he wrote
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
And if you're reading this then I didn't make it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
And though you may take her and make her your own
You'll always be rid-ing with Private Malone
Well it didn't take me long at all I had her running good
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the ragtop down
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
I'd get the feelings sometimes if I'd turn real quick I'd see
A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
Who fought for his country and never made it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
And he told me to take her and make her my own
And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
One night it was raining hard and I took the curve to fast
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
Who fought for his country and never made it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
That night I was riding with Private Malone
That night I was riding with Private Malone
After he was done he stood me up and made up my bed and I got in and laid down and he said, "Kate I'll be right back."
"Don't leave me, stay with me for a while."
"Kiddo I'll be right back."
"Ok" when he opened the door Spartan raced in and jumped on the bed and came over and licked the drying tears from my face. Five minutes later my dad walked back in and came over and laid next to me. "Dad where'd you go."
"No where I just needed to get something."
"Like?" he gave me a look that said 'change the subject or else' "So…. Less than a day until Brent gets here."
"That's right, you excited?"
"Yes I am, dad schools starting soon where am I going to go?"
"You'll probably go to D.C. Memorial School along with Tony and Ziva's kids and Abby and McGee's kids, the school ranged from K-12 grade."
"Cool at least I'll know some kids, where is Spartan staying?"
"He'll probably come to N.C.I.S. with us and stay in mom's office we can keep him in a playpen with water and toys."
"Ok"
"Also school gets out at 2:10 and its right by work so you will come to work right after school I'll give you until 2:40, it shouldn't take you that long and you'll have other kids to walk with."
"Ok, man we need to go shopping for school clothes and supplies."
"Sorry kiddo, shopping's not my expertise ask your mother, now get some rest." He left and I was asleep within a minute.

When I woke up the next morning at 0600 Spartan was still asleep next to me. My butt was still on fire. I flipped on the bedside lamp and on the table was a bottle of lotion; my dad must have left it after I fell asleep. I got out of bed and slipped some sweats on after I applied some lotion to my butt, wincing in the process. When I turned around Spartan was awake, standing on the bed, tail wagging. I walked over to him and picked him up, cuddling him. Even though it was early I was wide awake and I couldn't fall back asleep. I brought him downstairs and fed him. After I fed him I let him outside, and he did his business, then I grabbed a tennis ball and played catch with him for a half an hour. We went inside and I had a bowl of cereal and toast, standing up, finishing as my dad walked in. he walked over to me and hugged me and kissed me on the head, "You ready to go?"
"Sure where's mom?"
"She had to go into work early."
"Alright"
"Now I want you to behave today."
"I will" I scooped Spartan up and I grabbed a pillow and we walked out to the car. We got in and we drove to N.C.I.S.
When we arrived at N.C.I.S. Spartan, my dad, and I rode up to the bullpen. My dad told me to take Spartan and go up to mom's office, which I did after we said our hellos. When I entered her office I shut the door and set Spartan down, "Hello Kate I set up a table that you can draw or do other things to keep yourself busy, also you still have your backpack here I set it on the chair along with a pillow.
"Thanks mom," she smiled and went back to doing her work. I sat down and winced, and Spartan fell asleep at my feet. I pulled out my drawing pad, I think of myself as a pretty good artist. I was thinking to myself of what to draw then it hit me I can draw a portrait of James Bond for Tony. It will be sort of like an "I'm Sorry Card," only in picture form. I picked up a pencil and started to sketch. An hour later I was putting the finishing touches on it and I was done. Thankfully because I needed to stand, my butt was burning. I stood up and said, "Mom can I bring this picture to Tony?"
"Let me see."
"Mom it's a surprise, and anyway I'm not going to get into trouble when dad's down there."
"Ok hurry back" I headed for the door, "and Caitlyn," I looked back at her, "I mean it." Spartan followed me downstairs and when Tony saw me he said, "Hello Caitlyn come to play more tricks on me again?"
"Me? Of course not, but if you act like that I won't give you this picture I drew for you."
"Ok give it to me," I walked over and handed him the picture. When he saw the picture he said, "Thank you Kate," he got up and got down on both knees so he was at eye level with me and he hugged me.
My eyes started to water and I said, "Sorry for yesterday Uncle Tony."
"Hey kiddo, don't cry," he brushed away a tear, "its ok, now run along before your mom worries."
"Ok" and I hugged him once more and he kissed my head and Spartan and I walked back up to my mother's office. I shut the door when we got into her office. "Kate what did you draw for him?"
"Just a picture of James Bond."
At noon there was a knock on the door, "Enter" and Uncle Timmy walked in, "Hey director, Gibbs said I can come and get Kate, we have food and a table set up in the lab."
"Ok McGee just watch her." I hugged her and I left Spartan asleep in a playpen. McGee took my hand and brought me down to the lab. When we got to the lab all the kids, including Sarah, were sitting at the table with food on it, like usual I took a seat next to Carlos. I sat down wincing and grabbed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Carlos squeezed my leg and said, "What did you do now?" all the other kids looked up and I said, "What do you mean?"
"Come on Katie you winced when you sat…."
"Um…."
"We have all been in this position before."
The Bella said, "Ya Kate…."
"…..tell us," Lori finished.
"Well I super glued all of Uncle Tony's small objects to his desk, then I unscrewed all the screws on his desk and his chair so when he sat everything fell apart."
"Was it worth it Kate?"
"Hell…"
Then Abby said, "Caitlyn don't make me call your dad."
"Sorry Abby, heck no CK I got double one from my dad and one from yours. Man, your dad spanks hard."
"Tell me about it, yours does too."
"When did you ever get spanked by my dad?"
"Well I knew Uncle Gibbs pretty much my entire life. Let's see the first time he spanked me was when I was around the age of seven. My mom and dad had to run some errands, so they left me with Uncle Gibbs to babysit me. Just to let you know he was building a different boat in his basement. So anyways he told me to stay in the family room and watch the television, while he went upstairs to grab a case of movies to watch from the attic. As soon as the coast was clear, being a little kid and all I wanted to explore, so I walked down to the basement. I spotted the boat, it was gorgeous and I wanted to help because I always watch your dad do it and he would let me help sometimes. I grabbed a chisel and I walked over to the boat and I started to carve random things in the boat."
"Then what happened?" Sarah and I said at the same time.
"Hold your horses I'm getting to that part. Well your dad decided to walk down at that very moment and he said in a pissed tone my full name, 'Carlos Kennedy DiNozzo' you know you're not supposed to be down here without an adult and you aren't supposed to touch my tools and you ruined my boat. He came over to me and pulled over a chair and pulled my pants and boxers down and spanked me. And when I told my parents my dad just said, well you know better. The end. Believe me when I say this I have learned my lesson, I never did that again. What did you think of my story?"
"Well CK it was interesting." I said
"Katie just make sure you explain the rules to Brent and tell him they are not kidding."
"I will…." Just then my dad walked in, "Come on Kate let's go back upstairs."
"Come on dad cant I stay?"
Then Abby spoke, "Ya I'll watch her Gibbs."
"That worked out real well last time."
"Gibbs that hurt," she made a shocked face.
"Fine I'll come dad, bye guys," they all said goodbye and Carlos gave me a hug and my dad walked me back to my mom's office. After he left I said, "Mom?"
"Yes Kate?"
"Can we go shopping for school supplies?"
"Sure honey."
"When can we go?"
"Now if you'd like."
"Ok. Spartan can stay in the pen."
"Sure come on," I took her hand and we went downstairs, but before we went out to the car we stopped at my dad's desk and my mom said, "Jethro we are going out for a while meet you at home."
"Ok have fun."
"Oh and dad don't forget Spartan!"
"I promise I won't." And we headed for the elevator.

We went down to the car and we got in and I winced when I sat, "You ok hon?"
"I'm fine mom just the usual," we drove to a shopping center that had all different types of shopping store. She parked the car and turned the ignition off. "Where do you want to go first?"
"Can we go get the school supplies first, mom?"
"Sure," we got out of the car and crossed the street and went into a "Target." She grabbed a cart and we walked down the school isle. We put pencils, erasers, pens, and a couple of hand held sharpeners in the cart then she put two calculators in the cart, "Mom why do we need two of those?"
"Well I thought we would get some stuff for Brent."
"Right, I can't wait until tomorrow. Hey mom can I get this?" I held up a Superman lunchbox.
"Sure, and see if they have a batman one because Brent loves batman."
"Ok," I found one and put the batman and superman lunchboxes and notebooks, and folders in the cart. This is going to be great because I strongly dislike batman and superman is the best but my parents don't know that yet. This kid better not cross me on that subject. I grabbed a green backpack and a black one for Brent and I put them in the cart. She put two binders in the cart and she bought another drawing pad for me, and we checked out. We put the supplies in the car and we walked down to "Old Navy." After we checked out of Old Navy I had a lot of jeans, collared shirts, some Superman tees, and a new pair of sneakers. I am a tom boy and I always have been. She got Brent the same things minus the superman tees. She got him batman shirts instead. We went out to the car and put the stuff in the trunk and we both got in the car, "Thanks mom."
"Your welcome sweetie." She started the car and started to drive home.
"Um…. Mom?"
"Yes,"
"Can I ask a question?"
"Sure"
"Where does dad get his discipline methods?"
"I think his father."
"Oh can I meet him sometime? I never had a grandfather type figure before."
"Sure all five of us, including Spartan can visit him will take a trip we just have to talk to your dad okay."
"Ok" we arrived at the house a few minutes after eight. We grabbed the supplies and brought them inside and were greeted by a happy, bouncing puppy. "Hey boy," I bent down and patted him on the head. Then I walked down to the kitchen and my dad was sitting at the table, I walked over to where he was sitting and I hugged him, "Hi dad."
"Hey kiddo how'd it go?"
"Great! I got a lot of new stuff."
"That's great I already fed Spartan."
"Thanks dad, um I already talked to mom can we take a trip sometime to visit my grandfather, your dad?"
"Sure maybe at the end of this month, when Brent settles in."
"Ok"
"Why don't you go up to bed we have a big day tomorrow."
"Ok I love you dad."
"Love you too hon."
The next morning I was showered, dressed in jeans and a Superman tee, and I ate breakfast, and I was downstairs by ten o'clock. My parents walked in and said, "You ready to go sweetie?" my mom said.
"Yes mom," we gaited Spartan in the kitchen, with his toys and bones and a lot of water, and we went to the car and got in. I am still uncomfortable when I sit, we made the hour long drive to the adoption center. When we arrived we went inside and were greeted by a pretty blond, "Hello," she shook our hands, "I'm Paula Cassidy, I am handling the adoption process for Brent."
"Hello I'm Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and this is my wife Jenny, and our daughter Kate."
"Nice to meet all of you, but before we finalize this, can I speak to you and your wife?"
"Sure, Kate sit on this bench," there was a bench across from her office, "and don't move."
"Yes sir," and I sat down.
GIBBS POV
We were led into her office and she said, "Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs if you could just sit for a moment." We both sat.
"What is this about Paula?" I said
"Well I do this with all of the parent just to give them information on the kids they adopt. I just wanted to let you know about Brent. Well when he was about four his parents abandoned him so he is afraid that he will be abandoned again. He also has behavioral problems."
"What sort of problems?"
"Well I don't know if you've read his file or not but Brent had ADHD."
"And what does that mean?" Jenny asked.
"Well he needs to take medication every day, and he has difficulty focusing and he can be impulsive and hyper sometimes. He needs a lot of work and a strong sense and discipline of order."
I said, "Not a problem, thank you." I shook her hand again and we walked out the door.
KATE POV
Paula introduced us to Miss Donovan who was holding a little boys hand and she said, "And this little guy is Brent." Brent is adorable, he is seven years old, he has hazel nut eyes, jet black hair, and he is wearing a batman tee and cameo pants. Then Paula said, "Brent this is your new adoptive family, Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, his wife Jenny, and Caitlyn their daughter."
"Nice to meet you."
Then my dad got down on one knee and put a hand on his shoulder, "Son it's a pleasure. Kate we are going to finalize the papers, can you explain the rules and the consequences to Brent." When they went back into the room we sat on the bench and I winced and I explained all of the rules to Brent, the same ones my dad explained to me on the second day I was with him.
"What will happen if I break a rule?"
"You will be spanked and trust me on this don't test them."
"I'll try not to." They finished and we went out to the car and got in, "She explained the rules to you?"
"Yes um…..dad." I saw my dad smile from my seat. We were a half an hour from the house when Brent said, "Oh and by the way Kate superman sucks."
"Does not"
"Does to"
"Not"
"To"
"Not"
"To"
"Not"
"HEY! Do not make me stop this car," my dad yelled, "because I will."
"To," it was if he just ignored him, or just to test him. My dad pulled over to the side of the rode and he got out and opened Brent's door and pulled him over his knee and landed six smacks to his backside and placed him back in his seat after a hug. It was a silent ride back to the house after that. When we got home I said, "Brent do you like dogs?"
"I love 'em."
"Come on I just got a new puppy, his name is Spartan." Brent followed me into the kitchen and he said, "He's adorable."
"Thanks," we sat down and started patting him, "our parents work at N.C.I.S., so we'll go tomorrow and you'll meet the rest of the team, they are like our aunts and uncles, I'll introduce you to everyone."
"Ok," just then my parents walked in and my mom said, "Kate, honey, you mind showing Brent around, we'll feed Spartan and we'll call you when dinners ready."
"Ok, sure mom." I took him upstairs to what would have been the guest room, but my parents made it into his room. I've never really been in this room before but it is cute, for a seven year old. It had sky blue walls and a twin bed in the corner of the room with a batman comforter, a desk, and a bookshelf. We shut the door and sat on the floor, "Um Kate are there any more rule you should tell me about?"
"Other than the ones I already told you, don't go into the basement without an adult."
"Why?"
"Well my dad has a lot of dangerous tools down there and he worries we could get hurt."
"Oh ok,"
"Maybe he can show you later, he is building a boat down there."
"Cool!" Just then we were called down to the kitchen.
I then asked, "Mom what are we having?"
"Well we are having Chicken Alfrado, you like that Brent?"
"Yes, ma'm," all four of sat down to eat and Spartan laid at my feet. Brent started cutting small pieces of chicken, my dad didn't notice, yet but he kept feeding Spartan from the table. At least he thought my dad didn't notice, but he sees everything, "Brent please don't feed the dog from the table."
"Why?"
"Well it teaches him bad behavior and he will keep on begging and he will always want food all the time."
"Well maybe I want him that way." I looked at my mom and I was shocked that he even had the guts to say that.
"Brent Pacci Gibbs you change that attitude right now."
"And if I don't?"
"You know the rules, you know what will happen, so last warning." Then Brent took a piece of chicken and dropped it of the floor, man did this kid hear anything my dad just said? I thought I explained the rules thoroughly, I guess with some kids they don't stick in the beginning.

GIBBS POV
I got up from my seat and took him by the arm, "Ok dad I'm done."
"Too late for that now, I warned you." I still had a hold of his arm and I brought him up to his room. I shut the door behind us and I sat him on the bed and I pulled over his desk chair and sat in front of him, "Didn't Kate explain the rules and consequences to you?"
"Yes sir, she did."
"Then why would you continue with the attitude?"
"I don't know, I guess I just wanted to see how far it went to get you to this point."
"Well next time I won't be so lenient, and you will lose the shorts."
"I honestly don't give a rat's ass whether I lose them or not."
"Well good because you just lost them."
"I take it back dad."
"Sorry kid no backsies. Now let's get this over with."
"Ok dad," I stood him up and pulled his cameo pants down, I then pulled him over my lap, I had to smile because he was wearing Batman boxers. I pulled his boxers down, "Dad?" I held him down with one arm as I brought my other hand down causing him to yelp. "Dad-dy st-top" SMACK "You will" SMACK "Change" SMACK "Your attitude." SMACK SMACK "Now and," SMACK "Follow my rules." SMACK SMACK. I stopped to the sound of his sobs, I pulled his boxers and cameos up and I set him on my lap and he cried in my shoulder and I sang a Billy Ray Cyrus song called "Some gave all"
I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cries
As he said these words to me
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died America can't you see
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall
Some gave all
Some gave all
"Shh, baby boy," I ran my fingers through his hair and I rocked him back and forth.
"I-I s-s-sorry dad-dy."
"Its ok sport just behave yourself."
"I will daddy, but what if Kate asks what happens?"
"You are to tell me no matter what. After I discipline you kids it's over and we forget about it and we don't bring it up again."
"Ok daddy"
"I love you son"
"I love you t…." I shifted my weight to look at him, he had fallen asleep. Just then there was a knock on the door and it opened and Jenny walked in. I whispered, "Shh, he's asleep, help me with the bed." She nodded and I got up and she pulled the covers down and I placed him on his stomach and we both kissed his forehead and went back downstairs.
KATE POV
I was still at the table eating, then I started to move my food around on the plate, when my parents walked in, "Hey dad where's Brent?"
"He's asleep."
"You must've whomped him good." I knew I should've kept my mouth shut and not have said anything because my dad got to me so fast I didn't even have time to react. He hauled me out of my chair and landed six almighty hard swats to my backside.
"OW! OW! OW! Dad, sorry." I said rubbing the sting out of my butt.
He still had a hold of my arm and he pointed a finger at me, "We can continue this upstairs if you don't get off this subject."
"No I'm good sir," he released my arm.
"You can now help your mother finish clearing the table than you can go up to bed."
"But dad it's only 7:30," he just stared at me and I thought he was about ready to pounce, "No, ok dad I'll go." My dad left the room and went down to the basement to work on his boat. My mom was clearing the table and I started to wash the dishes and my mom said, "Caitlyn you know better than to test your father."
"I know I'm sorry mom."
"Go on up to bed I'll finish this."
"But mom what about dad?"
"I'll handle it, now go on."
"Ok I love you mom," and I went over and hugged her."
"I love you to, hon," and I ran upstairs."
JENNY POV
I was finishing the dishes when I heard footsteps behind me and someone put their arms around my waist and kissed my neck, "Where is Caitlyn, Jen?"
"She went up to bed." He broke his grip and started to walk away and he said, "Oh sheis going to have one sore bottom."
"Jethro I told her she could leave."
"Ah, now Jen why would you do that?"
"Having Brent here is a really big adjustment for her, and she just needs time."
"What does that have to do with the dishes Jen?"
"Well she did do half of them and I thought I'd finish them."
"Ok babe," and he kissed me. "Come on Jennifer," he took my hand and led me upstairs and into the bedroom and locked the door.

KATE POV
I woke up to a rough, moist feeling on my face. I opened my eyes and I noticed what it was, it was Spartan licking my face. It was 0700, "Oh let's go feed you boy." I pulled on my jeans, wincing slightly, and I pulled on a shirt, and I put my N.C.I.S. cap on. Then I brought him down to the kitchen. When I entered the room everyone was sitting at the table finishing their breakfast and my mom said, "Morning Kate, I was just going to wake you."
"Morning everyone," I got Spartan's food bowl and fed him, then I grabbed some cereal and sat down, "Um dad when are we leaving?"
"In about twenty minutes."
"Ok dad, Brent I can't wait to introduce you to everyone."
"Me neither, Kate what do you do with Spartan?"
"He comes with us."
"Cool"
"Speaking of which I need to get his outfit, I'll be right back." I raced upstairs and grabbed his badge and outfit then I raced back downstairs. I put the badge on his collar then I put the shirt on him, causing Brent to giggle, "That's cute Kate."
"Thanks squirt," my parents smiled at the nickname. Twenty minutes later we all piled in the car and drove to N.C.I.S. When we parked my dad said, "Kate where are you going first."
"I was thinking Auntie Abby."
"Ok you two behave. Also have her call me if you two are going someplace else."
"Ok dad," and we went to the elevator followed by Spartan. "You are going to love Abby, Brent."
"Why?"
"Cause she's awesome, and she's like a big kid, and she's fun to hang with. But, I have to warn you she loves to hug."
"Oh thanks for the warning." When we got out of the elevator you could hear the music blaring.
"OH I FORGOT TO MENTION SHE LOVES LOUD MUSIC!" when we entered the lab I went over and shut off her boom box. Without even turning around she said, "Caitlyn if that's you, you better turn my music back on or you'll regret what happens."
Then Brent whispered to me, "I thought you said she was the fun one?
"She is, um Abby this is Brent Pacci Jackson- Gibbs." She spun around with a big smile on her face and she ran over to us and embraced us in a hug. When she broke the hug she said, "It is really nice to meet you."
"It is nice to meet you too Abby." She ruffled his hair.
"Abby are the other kids in your office?"
"Yes Kate, go on."
"Come on Brent." Brent and Spartan followed me into her office. "Hey everyone this is Brent." Everyone said hello and I said, "Alright now Brent the three girls are Sarah, Bella, and Lori. Bella and Lori are twins and they are Abby and Tim's kids. You will meet Tim when we get upstairs. Bella's the one with the short black hair and Lori's the one with the long brown hair. Sarah is Tim's sister. The younger boy is Jake and this big kid is Carlos, "He came over and gave me a hug, "They are Tony and Ziva's kids you will also meet them when we get upstairs."
"It is really nice to meet you all." There were a few scattered like wises and I said, "We'll see you later guys I have to introduce him to the rest of the team." We entered the main part of the lab and I said, "Come on Brent."
"Kate don't we have to call dad first?"
"Oh that right, um Abby can you call my dad to tell him we are going to autopsy."
"Sure go on and can you turn my music back on when you leave."
"Ok," I gave her a quick hug and I turned her music back on and Brent and Spartan followed me down to autopsy. Ducky was sitting at his desk and Palmer was leaning over his shoulder. I cleared my throat and Ducky stood up and they both turned around, "Brent this is Dr. Donald Mallard and his assistant Jimmy Palmer."
"Call me Ducky, my dear boy."
Brent giggled, "Ducky I like that, nice to meet you guys."
"It's a pleasure son."
Then I said, "See Brent, Ducky is like the grandfather of the team, although he is much younger."
"Thank you, my dear," and he gave me a hug.
"Jimmy is like our cousin because he is so young."
"Thanks Kate, it's nice to meet you Brent."
"Likewise Jimmy."
Then I said, "Ducky can you call my dad to tell him we are on our way up to the bullpen."
"Sure my dear." The three of us got into the elevator and we rode up to the bullpen. When we got upstairs it seemed like everyone was waiting for us. They were all standing around my dad's desk. "Hey everyone this is Brent."
"Hello" everyone said in unison.
"This younger looking agent is Timothy McGee. He is married to Abby and the twins are his kids. Also he is great with computers."
"Nice to meet you sport," and Uncle Timmy shook his hand.
"These next people are the parents of Carlos and Jake. This pretty lady is Ziva."
"Thank you Kate. It is a pleasure to meet you Brent." She embraced him with a hug.
"Finally we have Anthony DiNozzo. He's cute and has a great personality. But, if you get on his nerves he has a hand like iron."
"Caitlyn if you don't stop you'll be feeling that iron." I gulped, "Pleasure Brent," and he shook his hand.
"It's really nice to meet all of you," and my dad ruffled his hair and said, "Why don't you two go back downstairs to Abby's lab and hang out with the other kids."
"Ok daddy" "Ok dad" both of us replied.
"You two behave yourselves and no fighting."
"Yes sir," and I saluted him.
"Caitlyn the sarcasm."
"Right sorry sir," and I grabbed Brent and scooted away before he swatted my bottom, and Spartan followed us to the elevator.

Thank you very much for the reviews they are appreciated
When we got down to the lab, we checked in with Abby and went into her office. "Hey guys whatcha up to?"
Carlos said, "Nothin' much Kate, board games, cards, different stuff."
"Can Brent and I join you?"
"Sure"
"Great what are we going to play?"
"Hmm we were thinking 'Sorry'."
"Sounds fun CK." We were all having a lot of fun, and we have been playing for an hour and were on our second game. I had two of my guys home, CK had three, both Bella and Lori had two, which I thought was weird them being twins and all, and Jake and Brent had one. All of us had all of our pieces around the board. It was my turn next and I picked up a card and it was a 'sorry card'. "Sorry" and I decided to bump Brent back to the start position.
"HEY! Kate that's not fair!"
Then CK backed me up and said, "Hey kiddo, that move was 100% fair."
"I don't care if it's fair."
"Brent what'd you want me to do let you win?"
"Something like that."
"Well I'm sorry but that's not the rules of the game."
"Well shit."
"Brent stop before we get into trouble."
"Fuck you, you're not the boss of me," then he smashed the game to the floor.
"Brent I'm warning you."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I just don't want to get in trouble," and I pushed him to the ground and he landed hard on his butt. A second later he was to his feet and he lunged at my waist. I'm not sure who said it but someone yelled, "ABBY GET IN HERE!" When she entered the room she yelled, "ENOUGH!" and she walked over to us and picked us up by the ears "OWOWOW." Spartan followed us as we were dragged into the elevator. The door dinged as we arrived at the bullpen. Abby, who still had a hold of our ears, marched us over to our dad's desk.
"What did you do Kate?" Abby finally let go of our ears.
"Dad why do you always expect if anything goes wrong it's me?" he cocked an eyebrow and Abby said, "Well I heard a few bad words exchanged." My dad looked at me, "Dad I swear it wasn't me." Then Abby continued, "And when Carlos called me into the room these two were rolling on the floor fighting."
"Thanks Abs you can go and I'll handle this." After she left my dad said, "You two with me. Tony hold the fort and watch Spartan."
"On it boss," and he tied Spartan's leash to his desk so he wouldn't follow me.
We followed our dad to one of the interrogation rooms and we were led inside. "Sit" in order for us not to further ourselves in trouble we both sat, and he sat across from us. "You two are in a lot of trouble."
"Why is that dad?" Brent asked sarcastically.
"You know damn well why, you swore, and you two were fighting after I told you not to."
"Sorry sir," I said
"Do you have anything to say Brent?"
"Ya sorry"
"Alright, Brent wait outside the door, and my advice to you is to be there when I come get you." He left the room and shut the door. "Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs I am very disappointed in you."
"I'm sorry dad, I tried to stop him."
"And that resulted in fighting?"
"Yes, at the time it seemed like the only way."
"Well it wasn't, if he is doing something naught you tell me or mom, or whoever your with, and we'll handle it, understand?"
"Yes sir I understand."
"Now come here," I stood up and removed my pants. I knew I would lose them so I didn't want to be asked to remove them. I walked over to him and laid myself over his lap and he pulled my underwear down and then SMACK he let his hand fall. SMACK "You do not" SMACK SMACK "Start fights with" SMACK SMACK "Your brother he" SMACK SMACK "Is a part of this family now." SMACK SMACK "I-I-am sor-rry da-addy" he stopped spanking me and rubbed circles in my back then he stood me up and I straightened my pants. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I kissed his cheek "Sorry dad."
"Alright kiddo I want you sitting, yes sitting outside the door while I deal with your brother."
"Ok sir," when we opened the door Tony was standing across from the door, "Tony what are you doing here?" my dad asked.
"Well I caught Brent wandering around."
"You did, did you? Well I'll just add that to the list of consequences." I slid down the wall slowly and when my butt finally hit the ground I winced.
"Hey boss want me to watch Caitlyn?"
"No you go back to work she knows what will happen if she moves."
"Ok boss."
BRENT POV
My dad brought me into the room, and shut the door and told me to sit which I did. He sat across from me and then said, "Brent Pacci Gibbs you need to learn to listen to me."
"Ok I will do it."
"That means when I say don't swear, you don't swear, when I say come you come, and when I say stay you stay. And if you don't then you will just end up here again. Now come here."
"I think I'll pass," he didn't even hesitate he grabbed my arm and pulled me over his lap and landed ten smacks to my backside. He sat me back down, my eyes were wet with tears.
"I'm not joking Brent."
"I'm sorry dad, sometimes I can't control the words that come out of my mouth."
"I know kiddo, that's why I'm here to help. Let's get this over with. "
"But dad you already spanked me."
"For talking back to me not for swearing, fighting, and running when I told you to stay."
"Ok sir," he stood me up and tugged my pants down and draped me over his lap and tugged my underwear down. SMACK "You will not" SMACK SMACK "Start fights" SMACK SMACK "With you sister" SMACK SMACK I started to wiggle and I was crying but it seemed like he didn't even acknowledge me "No swearing" SMACK SMACK "No running" SMACK SMACK "And you will" SMACK "Listen to me" SMACK SMACK SMACK "Da-addy sto-op pla-ease." He stopped spanking me and rubbed circles on my back and he pulled my underwear and pants up and wrapped me in a hug and set me on his lap and called Kate in.
KATE POV
I walked in and shut the door and I walked over and climbed up on to his unoccupied leg. We both rested our heads on his shoulders. He rocked us back and forth while he sang, "Belleau Wood" by Garth Brooks, to us.
Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence
Over Belleau Wood that night
For a Christmas truce had been declared
By both sides of the fight
As we lay there in our trenches
The silence broke in two
By a German soldier singing
A song that we all knew
Though I did not know the language
The song was "Silent Night"
Then I heard my buddy whisper,
"All is calm and all is bright"
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong
But I stood up in my trench
And I began to sing along
Then across the frozen battlefield
Another's voice joined in
Until one by one each man became
A singer of the hymn
Then I thought that I was dreaming
For right there in my sight
Stood the German soldier
'Neath the falling flakes of white
And he raised his hand and smiled at me
As if he seemed to say
Here's hoping we both live
To see us find a better way
Then the devil's clock struck midnight
And the skies lit up again
And the battlefield where heaven stood
Was blown to hell again
But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's just beyond the fear
No, heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's for us to find it here

Thanks for the reviews. Keep on reviewing they're appreciated.
When he finished with the song he said, "Alright now you two I need to get back to work so I want to take Spartan and go up to mom's office."
Then Brent said, "Dad doesn't she have work to do too?"
"Brent don't make me spank you again, this time for sarcasm, and can't you just do as you're told without back talking."
"Sorry but I'm good."
"Ok come on," he took both of our hands and we grabbed Spartan and we were brought to mom's office. We entered her office and shut the door, "Hey kids, Jethro what's up?"
"Nothing Jen, just some miscommunication."
"Ok Jethro."
"See you guys later, and don't let me get called up here because I will not be happy."
"Understood" "Yes sir" when he left we both sat wincing and we started patting Spartan. "I'm sorry I got you in trouble Kate."
"It's ok, just don't do it again because I don't think my butt could take it."
He chuckled, "Me neither." We started to roll ball back and forth and Spartan was chasing it and bouncing around. We were having so much fun. "Hey kids do you want to go grab some lunch?"
Then I said, "Hey mom can we go to Papa Ginos?"
"Sure hon, let's just go tell dad." We left Spartan in the playpen and we walked down to the squad room. We walked over to my dad's desk and he said, "What did the do now, Jen?"
"Nothing Jethro, we were just going to Papa Ginos fo lunch we'll be back in about an hour and a half."
"Ok hon do you mind if you pick up a pizza for the team?"
"Sure anything particular?"
"Guys?"
Tim and Ziva said, "Cheese"
Tony said, "Could you get me a small pizza pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese."
"I'll see what i can do Tony."
"Thanks," we walked down to the car and Brent and I got in the back, I don't mind though because my parents don't like when younger kids sit in the front, its a safety thing. My mom got in and we drove ten minutes to Papa Ginos. When we got there mom parked and we went inside. "Do you kids know what you want?"
"Breadsticks" we both said and we looked at each other and grinned.
"Next" the cashier said.
We walked up to the cashier and ordered a large breadsticks, a large cheese pizza, a small pepperoni, sausage, and extra cheese for Uncle Tony, and a salad for my mom. We sat down in a booth and started to eat. I sat down with Brent on one side and my mom sat across from us. "So Brent how do you like it here so far?"
"Its great mom" then he looked around and put a hand on the side of his mouth then whispered "Asides from getting spanked."
She chuckled, "Well if you stay out of trouble and that wont happen." She reached over and ruffled his hair.
"Ya how do you think feel, I got one too for trying to keep you out of trouble."
"I know I said I was sorry."
"I was just sayin'."
"Kids please stop arguing."
"Sorry mom" we both said in unison. We finished eating and grabbed the pizzas, which they so kindly kept heated. We went out to the car and drove to N.C.I.S. When we got there we rode up to the bullpen and gave the pizza to my dad and one to Tony. "Thanks hon."
"No problem Jethro. you want me to take the kids back up to my office?"
"Yes Jen i am trying to keep them out of trouble."
"Alright Jethro," and she kissed his cheek. When we entered the room I went over to the playpen and picked up Spartan and cuddled him. I set him on the floor and we both winced when we sat.
"Mom can i go see Carlos?"
"No Kate"
"Can he come up here?"
"Kate do I have to call your father?"
"No ma'm"
"Anyway you'll see him tomorrow."
"Kate let's just play here we were having so much fun before."
"Ok squirt," and we started to roll the ball back and forth like we were doing before. "So Brent what do you like?"
"Well I like sports, Batman, swimming, reading, anything really, what about you?"
"I like riding horses, Superman, swimming, reading, anything like you."
"Thats cool"
"Thanks," after that we had a conversation here and there until my dad came in to take us all home at six. We all piled in the car and drove home. when we got home we had Spaghetti and Meatballs and we got in our pajamas and we watched Wall-E. My parents were sitting on the couch. I had my head resting on my dad's lap and Brent was sitting on mom's lap. The movie got over around ten and I was wide awake, and Brent was fast asleep. Then my dad said, "Alright kiddo time for bed."
"But dad I'm not even tired."
"Caitlyn" he warned
"Ok I'll go, jeeze," at which point he spun me around and landed a solid smack to my still burning butt, "Ow! sorry daddy."
He nodded, "Ok git going." My dad followed me upstairs, holding Brent, and my mom was behind him. After my dad and mom tucked Brent in, they came into mine. I got into bed and they came over and my dad tucked me in and they both kissed my forehead. "Night mom, night dad."
"Night kiddo" "Night sweetie" my dad shut off the lights and Spartan nestled in the crook of my arm.

Thank you for the reviews keep 'em coming.
When I woke up the next morning the sting in my butt was slowly fading. It was 0730 and i pulled on some jeans, a tee shirt, and i scooped Spartan up. I tiptoed out of my room and into Brent's room. I set Spartan on the bed and he walked up to his face and started to lick it and Brent rolled over on his back and his eyes shot open and he rolled back onto his stomach and said, "Ow" in a muffled, sleepy voice.
"I'll be right back," i left the room and when I came back in I threw something on his bed."
"Whats this Kate?"
"Lotion"
"Why do I need lotion?"
"Trust me I've been there before, squirt, i know how you feel, this helps a little."
"Oh thanks Kat," aww he came up with a nickname for me.
"Anytime, now come on lets eat."
"Sure, but can you give me a minute?" he said with the bottle of lotion in his hand.
"Sure," Spartan and I waited outside the door for him. When he came out we walked downstairs to find our parents sitting in two chairs across from one another. The other two chairs, that were across from one another had pillows on them. I fed Spartan and let him out and we sat down and ate breakfast. After we finished we packed our "gear" and left for N.C.I.S. When we got there we went up to the bullpen and Uncle Timmy was the only one there. I went over to him and said, "Uncle Timmy, where are Auntie Ziva and Uncle Tony?"
Then my dad said, "Ya McGee where are they?"
"Well boss they're stuck in traffic."
Then I said, "Why doesn't Ziva just drive over them?" My dad put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed.
"Well boss they should be here in a while."
"How longs a while McGee?"
"I don't know boss, does it look like I'm the person that does traffic reports?" But that comment got him a hard slap to the back of the head. "OW!"
I turned to Brent and said, "You'll see that a lot."
My mom already went up to her office and my dad said, "Alright lets go to Abby's lab." When we got there my dad said, "Please behave," and he kissed both of our heads and ruffled the hair on Spartans head and he left.
"Hey Auntie Abby where are Bella, Lori, and Sarah?"
"In my office," we started to leave and she said, "Kate, Brent behave because if I get called in there i wont wait for your dad." We both gulped at the threat then went into her office. Sarah was sitting at Abby's desk reading a book with her feet up, by Sara Shepard called "Pretty Little Liars." Bella and Lori were playing a game called Snakes and Ladders. When they saw us Bella said "Where are..."
"...Carlos and Jake?"
"They are stuck in traffic. You guys have to stop doing that."
"Doing what..."
"...Kate?"
"That"
"What?" They both said.
"Oh never mind." At ten after playing a few games Tony came down holding Jake and CK was in tow behind him. After he set Jake down he kissed both boys heads and said, "Behave," and he left. I took Carlos to the corner and we sat, and he winced and I said, "Traffic huh," he shrugged, "What'd you do now?"
"Well there was a Brad Paisley concert in town last night, so I snuck out last night after my parents said I couldn't go..."
"Why couldn't you go?"
"I didn't have anyone to go with. And my parents don't like it when I go places like that alone."
"You could've asked me. I love Brad Paisley."
"Well I didn't know that, next time. Anyway I snuck in through my bedroom window at three this morning. I turned on my lights and turned around and my parents were sitting on the bed and my dad was like where you been boy and I replied out. I got a few swats for that remark. My mom eventually got me to talk by coming over to me and squeezing my earlobes. Sometimes her approach can be very effective so keep in mind never lie to her or piss her off."
"Will do"
"So after that, my ears couldn't take it anymore and I told them. My dad asked my mom to leave and he gave me the belt."
"Ouch sorry"
"Ya me too," I gave him a sympathy hug and kissed his cheek causing him to blush.
"Was it worth it?"
"Ya I wouldn't change it if my life depended on it."
"Or your butt," he chuckled and i was staring into his big, brown, beautiful eyes when I was distracted by a loud crash, I mean way to ruin the moment. We looked over and Brent was on the ground and all of Abby's CD's, that Abby keeps neatly organized on a CD rack, were all scattered on the floor around him. We rushed over as soon as Abby rushed in. "Brent what'd you do?" She gasped when she saw the scene.
"I tripped and fell Auntie, my wrist hurts."
"Well that's not the only thing that's going to hurt. I had these alphabetized by band."
"Sorry Abby but my left wrist really hurts." She helped him up by his right arm. "Owwww Abby," she smacked him on the butt "What was that for?"
"My CD's not let me see your wrist."he was now cradling his wrist and he shook his head. "Brent Pacci Gibbs show me your wrist this instant," he held his wrist out to her. "Don't touch it!"
"I'm just going to look," she examined his wrist,"it looks sprained, we need to go see Ducky," she picked him up and I said, "Auntie Abby we could stay here."
She laughed, "That's funny Kate are you sure you want to be a Forensic Scientist because you'd make a great comedian."
"HaHa" I laughed sarcastically but we followed her down to Autopsy. Ducky was standing there "What happened my dear boy?"
"My wrist Abby thinks it spranged."
"Alright son lets take a look," he picked Brent up and set him on the table, "yep it looks sprained. I'm gonna put it in a cast, what color do you like?"
"Neon green!"
"Well I think that can be arranged."
All six of us were standing in a row and Abby was with Brent who was still sitting on the table. My mom and dad walked through the doors and when they saw us my dad said, "Well isn't this a guilty site." My mom went over and hugged Brent who was now in a neon green cast. Then my dad said, "Alright Abby take the kids back to the lab I'll be down later to ask what happened." She nodded and led the way out of autopsy and everyone followed in a line, me being last. I was about halfway out the door when my dad said, "Not you."
I thought about running but that would only result in me being turned over my dad's knee. I turned around and said,"Dad before you say anything I didn't see him fall." My mom walked over to me and spun me around and landed a smack to my backside, "OW! mom what was that for?" I said rubbing my butt.
"Not watching your brother."
"Mom I cant watch him every waking second of the day."
"Caitlyn change that tone with your mother now apologize."
"But dad its true." He took off and rushed over to me. I ran one way so there was a table between us. "Caitlyn Leigh you get over here right now and apologize to you mother. I shook my head, "No your gonna smack me."
He cocked an eyebrow, "Caitlyn one... two..."
I was at his feet in seconds and he spun me around and landed a dozen smacks to my backside, "Now say your sorry."
My eyes were wet with tears, "S-sorry m-mom-my" and I gave her a hug.
"Its ok baby," and she ran her fingers through my hair.
"Now Caitlyn why weren't you watching your brother?"
"I was talking with Carlos dad."
"It seems like that every time there's trouble you two are involved some how, well I'm going to the lab to get everyones story."
"Daddy please don't spank them."
"Don't worry they all know what happens if they lie to me."

thanks for the reviews
GIBBS POV
The nerve of that girl, first she doesn't watch her brother and he injures himself, then she runs and has a bad attitude towards he mother. If I have to spank her everyday I will. I entered the lab and I saw everyone sitting in chairs and Abby had here back to me "Hi Gibbs," and she turned around.
"Abby I'm going to talk with everyone to get there stories straight."
"Fine by me, my silver haired fox." I grinned our pet name.
"Ok Abbs" and I kissed her cheek. "Carlos with me."
"Uncle Gibbs can't we just talk in here?" I just gave him a stare which made him cringe, "Ok...ok I'm coming." When he got within arms reach I grabbed his elbow and dragged him to the interrogation room. We went in and I shut the door. I sat him down and I sat across from him. "You gonna spank me?"
"That depends"
"On what!"
"Your attitude"
"I'm sorry uncle Gibbs."
"Ok, now did you see anything?"
"No sir, I was talking to Kate but Bella and Lori were with him so talk to them."
"And i will but right now I'm talking to you."
"Ya and like I told you before I was talking to your daughter."
"Why are you so interested in her?"
"I like her, and I want to marry her someday."
"Like thats going to happen, get your mind out of the gutter boy."
"You can't tell me who I can and can't date sir besides we already consider ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend,and i love her."
"She's my daughter..."
"So"
"Carlos loose the attitude, and I have a say in this."
"I don't think you do."
"Carlos Kennedy I do and thats final. I'm done talking about it."
"Well I'm fucking not."
"That little boy was the final straw, come here"
"No thanks I'm good."
"Carlos Kennedy DiNozzo you either come here willingly or physically your choice."
"Sorry but I'm gonna go, see you later Uncle Gibbs." Now I was pissed this whole conversation he had a bad attitude and he refused to listen to me. he got about halfway to the door when I grabbed his arm and spun him around and smacked him a dozen times. Then I brought him over to a chair and I sat down and deposited him over my lap. I pulled his pants down which were immediately followed by his boxers. The only reason I am not using the belt is I know for a fact he got it this morning. But I proceeded and brought my hand down with a sharp SMACK" "OW! uncle Gibbs not... smack... so hard... smack... You are not... smack... to swear... smack... at me and... smack... you... smack... are to... smack... change... smack... your... smack... attitude... smack... understand? Y-yes s-sir... smack... smack... smack... smack." I fixed his pants and set him on my lap. "I'm s-s-sorry U-uncle G-Gibbs." I ran my fingers through his gelled, spiky hair.
"Its ok son just don't do it again."
"I-I w-wont s-sir."
"You never did let me finish."
"S-sorry."
"Like i said before she is my daughter, and I never said you couldn't see her,... as a friend."
"But..."
"No buts CK, we are more like family, then anything more and wouldn't it be weird to date your cousin?"
"Ya I guess so" I ruffled his hair "Ok I'm gonna talk with your brother next."
"Ok but can you interview him with Sarah? I don't think they saw anything."
"Sure, come on," he followed me back to Abby's lab and Abby said, "Sit down, Carlos."
"No thanks I'll stand," I leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Unless you want to have another discussion right here, right now I suggest you take a seat." he said, "Yes sir," and he sat wincing in the process. "Jake, Sarah with me." Jake came over and lifted his arms and I picked him up and said, "Come on Sarah." We went into the room and I shut the door. I sat across from the two and said, "So did you two see anything?"
Sarah was the first to speak, "No sir," which was immediately followed by a, "No Unca 'ibbs," from Jake.
"What were you two doing when he hurt himself?"
"Well sir I was reading."
"Sarah call me Gibbs or uncle Gibbs."
"Ok Gibbs," and she smiled. Then I turned to Jake and said, "And you Jed," I call him this sometimes at a nickname because it is his initials Jacob Elijah DiNozzo. "What were you doing at the time?"
"I'z pwayin wif Spartan."
"Speaking of which where is he?"
"Um Auntie Abby broughts hims upstairs in playpen."
"Ok i see you guys didn't see anything come on lets go back," I picked up Jake and Sarah walked back following me to the lab. When we went inside Sarah took a seat next to Carlos, who was fidgeting on his seat, and Abby took Jake on her lap. Then I turned to Bella and Lori and said, "You two with me." We all went to the interrogation room and shut the door and sat down. I knew this was going to be a difficult interview because even though Bella and Lori are twins they have two totally different personalities. Lori has a more mellow attitude and Bella has the more upbeat and spunky attitude. Bella usually gets into more trouble than Lori. "So what happened?"
"I don't..."
"Isabella don't lie to me." I knew this was a harder approach so I went for the 'weaker link' because that always works. "Oh Loreli."
"Yes Uncle Gibbs."
"Would you like to tell me what happened?"
"Um...no" at this point it went silent and I just stared into her eyes because she usually spilled her guts whenever I did this. Five minutes passed and she said, "Ok Ok" but Bella signed "don't" "Well I don't want to get in trouble" Then I signed, "That sounds like a good idea." They just looked at me and I said, "Have you forgotten that I know how to sign as well?" They both nodded and I said, "So Loreli Bracha McGee..." The meaning behind Lori's middle name. Since Ziva has come to this agency Abby and her have become best friends. So when the twins were born Abby and Tim asked Tony and Ziva to be the godparents of Lori as Jenny and I were asked for Bella. Well Abby couldn't decide on a middle name for Lori so she asked Ziva, and Ziva thought of Bracha which in Hebrew means a blessing, which she is. "What happened?"
Lori looked at me and started to twiddle her thumbs and said, "Well , he did trip..."
"And?" She looked around and I snapped my fingers "Loreli focus."
"Sorry sir he might have had a little help." She made a nodding motion to Bella, and she elbowed Lori in the side causing her to gasp.
"Isabella don't elbow your sister, so Lori he might have or did?"
"He did ok, Bella pushed him."
"Isabella Andromeda McGee," in case you didn't know Andromeda means ruler of man in Greek and it fits her personality well. "Why did you push Brent?"
"Truthfully he was pissing me off."
I gave a warning, "Isabella."
"I'm sorry sir but he was, he kept going on and on talking up a storm I told him nicely at first to stop," I cocked an eyebrow. "What I did. Then he started arguing with me and I couldn't take it anymore so I pushed him. I didn't mean to hurt him."
"But you did, Lori step out for a bit I'm going to talk with your sister alone."
"But..."
"No buts Loreli, and stay put." Everyone knew what was going to happen next.

Thank you for the reviews please review I want to know how I'm doing and ideas are welcomed.
When Lori left, Bella looked at me and said, "Are you gonna spank me, Uncle Gibbs?"
"What do you think?"
Flashback
The first time I had to spank Bella was when she was a little older than five. Abby and Tim were on vacation for there anniversary. Jenny and I were asked to watch Bella and Lori for the week, which we gladly accepted. I set up the television with the cartoon Carebears for the twins to watch while Jenny and I made breakfast. Everything was fine but it was quiet, too quiet. I thought that was strange though, there was no fighting, no bickering between siblings, it was just to quiet. When I entered the family room Bella was nowhere to be seen. "Loreli where is your sister,"
She looked around and said, "I 'ont no" with a shrug. Jenny and I stopped making breakfast, but I told Jenny to continue and watch Lori, that I'd find her. I walked upstairs and found her in our bedroom, and I couldn't believe my eyes. I don't know how but she had gotten on top of our dresser. Our dresser isn't small it stands about four and a half feet of the ground, and the top of it is wide enough to sit on. All the doors in the dresser were open so she must have climbed up that way. She was just sitting there going through Jenny's make up case applying lipstick all over her face. I shut the door and at the same time shouted, "HEY!" I must have scared her because she looked up and wobbled a bit but she caught her balance, but she hit the mirror behind her. I rushed over to her and grabbed her before the mirror fell forward and crashed to the ground. I brought her over to my bed and propped my leg up. Then I turned her over my knee and spanked her and after I set her on my lap while she cried and she said, "'m 'orry Unca 'ibbs." I replied "Its ok hon its over now and besides I never really liked that mirror anyway."
End of Flashback
"Yes I guess I deserve one."
"You guess?"
"Alright, alright I do deserve one. I shouldn't of..."
"Have"
"Sorry shouldn't have pushed him."
"That's right now come here, and lose the pants." Bella is more of a tomboy than Lori. Bella is a pants and tee type of gal, where Lori is more of a skirt and dress type of gal.
"But..."
"No buts Isabella, don't make me come get you." She glared at me, "Isabella last chance, and stop with that attitude."
"Ok" she walked over to me and dropped her pants and laid across my lap. I already lectured her and I'm pretty sure she knew what she did was wrong so I just began. I only brought my hand down twenty times and after I was done I pulled up her pants and set her on my lap and she cried then said, "I-I'm s-sorry, um ca-an y-you si-ing m-me a s-song?"
"Its ok Bells, which one do you want?"
"Darryl Worley's song, Have you forgotten."
"Good choice." I rocked her back and forth while I sang."
I hear people sayin'. We Don't need this war.
I say there's some things worth fightin' for.
What about our freedom, and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.
They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in
Before you start preachin' let me ask you this my friend.
Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten, when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell
And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
You took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbin for you and me
It'll just breed anger is what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country just out lookin' for a fight
Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say right.
Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin' through a livin' hell
And we vow to get the ones behind Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
you can bet they remember just what they're fightin' for
Have you forgotten
All the people killed
Yes some went down like heroes
In that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten
About our Pentagon
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
After the song I put her on the ground and we walked out of the interrogation room hand in hand. Lori was still there sitting by the door, I put out my other hand and helped her up and the three of us walked back, hand in hand, to their mom's lab.
Chapter 20
Please review! Thank you everyone who has reviewed
As soon as I had finished writing my lines I shot out of my seat so the chair fell on the ground, and everyone stared at me. My dad turned and looked at me and said in a firm whisper, "Sit down Caitlyn and finish writing you lines."
"Dad I finished writing can I please just stand for a few minutes?" he held out his hand and I handed him the sheets of white lined paper and he looked over my work and said, "Nice job, Alright you can stand." Just then his phone rang, "Yeah Gibbs….We'll be right there." Then he hung up his phone and said, "Gear up we've got a dead marine, but first I'm going to personally deliver the kids to Abby's lab."
Then Tony said, "You sure boss?" but that question resulted in Tony getting head slapped by Ziva which caused Tony to squeak."
My dad replied, "Thanks Ziva. Ya I'm sure DiNozzo the dead marines not going anywhere." He chucked the keys at Ziva, "Ziva get the car I'll meet you out front" that statement caused both McGee and Tony to gulp. After she nodded with a little smile Carlos and Jake were told to behave, but that was mostly addressed to CK, then we walked to the elevator with my dad. The ride down to the lab was quiet CK stood on one side of my dad holding Jake's hand and I stood on the other. When the elevator dinged my dad got out, like always he expected us to follow so we did. When we entered the lab Abby flung her arms around my dad's neck, "Hey Gibbs!"
"Hey Abbs we've got a case, I just brought them down to make sure they came straight down to your lab, remember what we talked about." Then he kissed her cheek and left.
After he left I said, "What'd you talk about Abby?" she told everyone but me to go into her office. I thought she didn't hear me so I repeated my question. "Abby what did you talk about?"
"Well Kate, your dad told me everything."
"Everything?"
"Yes everything and he told me to watch you like a hawk."
"Well in that case if I'm the prey, I'll go hide in the other room."
I went to leave but Abby grabbed a hold of my wrist and said, "Your dad told me about your sarcastic attitude, and I'm not afraid to give you a smack or two, I am letting that one slide."
I said smugly, "Oh that's so thoughtful of you." I knew I shouldn't have said that because Abby, who still had a hold of my wrist, spun me around and gave me a solid smack to my still stinging backside "OW! I'm sorry Abby." She gave me a big bear hug and said, "It's ok kiddo. You want to help me with the evidence?"
"Can I?"
"Sure"
"Thank you so much Abby. I love the work that you do, and I think your job is so cool." I most definitely want to stay on her good side because even though Abby is awesome I can tell from that one smack that she can spank hard. But, on the other hand forensic science is really cool.
"Aww thanks Kate," and she handed me some gloves and a lab coat and we got to work. She stuck a 'junior trainee' sticker on my lab coat, then she showed me how each one of her 'babies' works.
Uncle Timmy had brought down evidence for Abby to examine. She was running hair samples that they found at the crime scene and she said that I could dust for fingerprints like she showed me earlier. I was dusting for fingerprints on a wineglass, personally I didn't think I was going to find one, and I don't think Abby did either, but I did, "Hey Abby I've got a partial," I said in my best 'smart' voice.
"Way to go" and she gave me a high five. "You wanna see if we get a hit in the computer?"
"You sure?"
"Ya I'm sure! You already found a partial, if you want full credit you have to find a match!" she grinned and I smiled back at her. I moved the mouse on the computer and started a search. About ten minutes later the computer dinged and my dad walked through the door and said, "What do ya have for me Abbs?"
"Not me Gibbs, Kate."
My dad turned and looked at me not saying anything, he was just staring at my long lab coat that reached the floor, my oversized gloves, some of Abby's old platform boots I decided to put on, I also put on one of her extra spiked collars. Also during that ten minutes Abby put a henna tattoo, of the Kryptonian symbol that means hope, on me luckily it was on my lower back so he couldn't see it because he doesn't even want me thinking about any kind of tattoo. I just can't get a spanking until it wears off, like that will happen, my dad will probably find something to spank me for, because apparently I can't stay out of trouble. But none the less I looked like a mini Abby asides from my long auburn hair color.
GIBBS POV
"Abby a work," Abby followed me outside the lab door. "Abby what were you thinking?"
"What Gibbs I thought the outfit was cute."
"Abbs…. As much as I would love to have another Abby running around N.C.I.S., that's not what I'm talking about."
She looked down at her shoes and said, "It's not?"
"Look at me Abbs," she looked up. "No it's not first of all she's grounded and this isn't supposed to be fun for her."
"I know it's my fault Gibbs, I asked for her help."
"Which brings me to my next point, you know that some of the things we see isn't suitable for kids." She mumbled something at which point I spun her around and landed a hard smack on her bottom, "OW! Gibbs, that really hurt." She said rubbing her butt.
"Supposed to, now answer Abigail, so I can hear you."
"Sorry Gibbs I didn't think about that, but she is really enjoying this and if you look at her she is really happy."
I snuck a peak and she was spinning in the chair laughing, "She does look happy Abbs."
"Yes she does can you just ask her what she found? After all she was the one that found the partial print."
"Ummmmmm"
"Pleeeeeeeeease Gibbs."
"Oh alright Abbs," and I hugged her and kissed her cheek.
KATE POV
I was spinning in circles in Abby's swivel chair and I caught a glimpse of my dad and Abby and I stopped spinning and my dad smiled at Abby and said, "What do you have Kate?"
"Well dad, the print matches a Rex 'Baby face' Braxton."
Then my dad turned to Abby and said, "Any previous convictions?"
Abby was about to check on her computer when I broke in, "Yes…murder." My dad and Abby turned and looked at me, "He was paroled about a month ago."
My dad said, "How'd you know that?"
"Well Rex was a friend of my dad's, and he was just as violent as him, and one question."
My dad said, "Shoot."
"Did the body have a stamp of a baby's face behind the right ear?"
My dad cocked an eyebrow and answered, "Yeah."
"It's his signature."
Then Abby said, "Kate how do you know all this?"
"Because Rex 'Baby Face' Braxton was the man that was convicted of killing my mother."

Thank you everyone for the reviews
My dad and Abby just stared at me with their mouths open, unable to produce words. At the recent memory of my mother my eyes started to fill with water. Abby and Gibbs embraced me in a hug and Abby said, "It's ok Kate," rubbing my back. When they broke the hug Abby handed me a tissue and I wiped my eyes.
Then my dad said, "Kate, honey, this is very important do you know where I can find Rex?" I nodded, "Can you tell me?" I shook my head, "Kate I know this is difficult for you but I will spank you if you refuse to tell me, you could help keep a killer of the streets."
I shivered at the threat, "I ca-ant da-ad."
"Why can't you?"
"B-b-because h-he'll ki-ill me."
"Who Kate?"
"Anyone a-associated wi-ith m-my r-real dad. The-ey keep in touch they'll know if I t-told."
"Don't worry kiddo I'll keep you safe" and he hugged me and kissed me on the top of my head.
"O-ok I tr-rust you. He h-has a p-place near Norfolk he lives at 102 Riverdale Circle."
"Thanks we'll get him, and he'll go away for good."
"Be careful dad he's dangerous."
"I will," and he left. But what I didn't tell him was that Rex is actually my Uncle, he changed his name after he joined a gang. Also I didn't tell him that I just sent him to the most gun-crazy gang lord in DC.
GIBBS POV
I arrived up in the bullpen and I walked over to my desk and grabbed my badge and gun and I said, "Grab your gear."
Then Tony said, "Someone die boss?"
"Nope we found a print on a wine glass that matched a Rex 'Baby Face' Braxton."
"You have an address boss?"
"Ya DiNozzo 102 Riverdale Circle, near Norfolk. Let's go, Ziva your driving." We all put on bullet proof vests, just to be on the safe side, because you never know what part of town we are entering. We went outside and got in the car and Ziva drove extremely fast and we arrived at the location in twenty minutes. We got out of the car, guns drawn. I said, "Ziva, McGee go around back. DiNozzo with me. You guys wait for my signal before you enter. One more thing I want him alive because I want to watch that scum suffer and rot in jail." I addressed this last part mostly looking at Ziva, because after all she was in Mossad and trained to kill. They nodded and Ziva and McGee walked around to the back. Tony and I walked up the stairs on his front porch. Tony and I stood on each side of the door and I gave Tony a nod and he knocked on the door and said, "REX BRAXTON, N.C.I.S. OPEN THE DOOR." All of a sudden there was a loud bang as a gun went off repeatedly, all the bullets going through the front door. We didn't barge in until we heard the clicking of a gun running out of ammo. We broke through what was left of the door, guns drawn.
I had my gun pointed at his shoulder, he threw the shotgun on the floor and picked up a pistol on a near table and pointed it at me. I said, "Put down the gun Rex."
"Hell no and risk going to jail, again."
"A little late for that now Rex."
"What did my niece tip you off?"
"Who's your niece?"
"You know that little shit you adopted, well that thing is my niece, my own flesh and blood. It goes to show you a lot when your own blood tips you off. Well she's dead to me now."
I had heard enough so I said in my walkie talkie, "Ziva, McGee NOW." Ziva and McGee barged through the back door guns drawn. I gave a slight nod to Ziva to disarm him, because she has the best and fastest reflexes, and in any other case she could have done it without consequences. But, something went wrong, when she grabbed a hold of him and held on the gun they struggled the gun went up then the gun went down then BANG the gun went off and then there was a sharp pain in my left bicep. McGee cuffed Rex and put him in the squad car. I hadn't even realized I was on the ground until Tony was standing over me and he said, "Boss the ambulance is here. You're going to be fine."
As I was loaded onto the stretcher, with my good arm I pulled Tony close so he could hear me, "I'm going to kill her."
"Who and why boss?"
"Caitlyn because she failed to mention that, that gun-crazy man that just shot me was her Uncle. Get Ziva to pick her up and you and McGee go with her and then meet me at the hospital."
"On it boss."

KATE POV
I was in Abby's lab, I had changed in to my other clothes, when Tony and McGee barged through the door, and Tony said, "Come on Kate we have to go to the hospital."
A thousand things flashed through my mind, "Why what happened Tony? And where is my dad?" my eyes started to water.
"Well there was an accident…."
"What kind of accident Tony?"
"Your dad was shot…."
"Shot?"
"Yes Kate he is fine though he is in surgery and they retrieved the bullet. The bullet just missed the brachial artery the major blood vessel in the arm. He's going to be fine the doctor said he can go home tomorrow. Now come on we have to go."
Then Abby broke in her eyes were watering, "Can I come Tony?"
Tony replied, "No Abbs you have the kids to watch."
Then McGee broke in, "Go on Abbs, I'll watch the kids." Abby went over and hugged McGee and kissed him then thanked him. Tony called my mom and told her to meet us at the hospital in an hour because she was tied up at the moment. We went out front where Ziva was waiting with the car and we got in and Ziva drove like a mad woman to the hospital. The ride was silent except when I asked Tony, "Tony what is my father's mood like?"
Tony turned around and replied, "Well Kate he's pissed, he just got shot and…."
"And?"
"And Kate you lied to him."
Abby grabbed a hold of my hand and squeezed I didn't have to look at her face to know that the look in her eyes were full of sympathy, I could just tell by the way she touched me. We arrived at the hospital and Ziva pulled in front of the hospital and flashed her badge so we wouldn't get towed. All four of us got out of the car and Jenny had arrived and she got out of hers and all of us rushed inside and over to the front desk and Tony said, "Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs room please."
The woman behind the desk said, "I'm sorry sir, but visiting hours are over."
My words were full of rage, from the woman not telling us where his room is, and they also were full of grief, from what had happened to my dad and what's going to happen to me. I replied, "Tell me where my dad's fucking room is!" Tony covered my mouth with his hand and in reaction I sunk my teeth into his middle finger, my mom didn't see though she was over talking to a doctor. Tony yelped and pulled his hand away and before he landed a smack to my backside there was a voice behind us, "I heard you were looking for Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs?" Tony gave me the 'we'll talk about it later' look and we turned around. "Hello my name is Dr. Brad Pitt, I am your father/boss/husband's surgeon." He said shaking our hands. "Follow me I'll take you to his room." We followed Dr. Pitt down the hall to a room at the very end of the hall. We were all waiting outside and the doctor said, "You all can go in, but he specifically told me he wants to see Kate first."
I shook my head and Tony opened the door and pushed me in. my dad had already gotten dressed and he was staring out of the window, his arm bandaged, "Sit" he said. It's amazing how he can do that, how he knows it is you without even looking. But I knew it was in my best interest to sit so I sat on the edge of the hospital bed. He turned around and said, "Kate do you want to tell me anything?"
"None that I can think about dad."
He pulled a chair over and sat in front of me, "Caitlyn I think it would be best not to lie, you've already lied once, so I think it would be best to tell the truth."
"Well I lied to you about Rex being my Uncle and about him being a gun-crazy gang lord."
"Anything else?"
Oh crap how did he know I did something else, "Well I kind of swore again."
"Kind of?" he said raising an eyebrow.
"Ok…Ok I did swear again just now actually then I bit Tony when he covered my mouth."
"You bit him?"
"Yes I did… you going to spank me?"
"Yes, I told you about lying and swearing and you don't bite people. But I'm not going to do it here. Now you can tell the others to come in." I walked over to the door, opened it, and told everyone to come in.
Abby was the first one in and ran over and hugged my dad, "Oh Gibbs you scared me so much."
"I'm fine Abbs." When they broke the hug my mom walked over to my dad and embraced him in a hug and kissed him on the lips, "Oh Jethro I was so worried."
"I'm fine Jen let's go. They said I should spend the night but I'm fine." Of course there is no stopping Leroy Jethro Gibbs. We walked down the hall to the front desk and my dad checked himself out and I whispered to my mom, "Mom can I ride back to N.C.I.S. with Uncle Tony?"
My dad had just finished checking himself out and he turned around and said, "Nice try but we're not going back to N.C.I.S." Oh great, so I followed my mom and dad, who were holding hands, out to the car. When we got into the car I sat behind my mom, who was driving, on account of my dad being shot. I sat so close to the door you would have thought we were connected. The ride home was as silent as the dead victims Ducky thinks will answer him back during an autopsy. When we arrived at our house a half an hour later my mom parked in the driveway and they both got out of the car and I didn't move. My dad walked around to my side of the door and opened it, and I moved to the other side, "Come here Caitlyn." I shook my head, "Caitlyn, do you want to break yet another one of my rules?" I shook my head, "Then don't make me come in there and get you." I knew he would so I slid to the open door and planted my feet on the ground, and he grabbed a hold of my elbow and lead me to the house followed by Jenny. He brought me into the family room and sat me on the couch and my parents sat on the coffee table across from me.
No one spoke for a while, and the suspense was killing me, but my mom spoke first, "Kate, hon, why didn't you tell us Rex was your Uncle?"
"'cause"
Then my dad said, "'cause isn't good enough Caitlyn, you should have told me your Uncle was so violent because he could have come after you for putting you father away."
"He wouldn't"
"Yeah but you don't know that."
"Sorry sir, I was scared."
"I know you were, but I don't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to you."
I folded my arms, "Sorry sir"
I could tell my dad was losing his patience, "Sorry? Is that all you can say?"
"Jethro…..calm down let's just have this conversation peacefully."
"Ok Jenny, I'll try."
Even though it was delayed I decided to answer his question arms still crossed, "Well dad I would say more but you wouldn't like the words that come out of my mouth."
"Kate we'll revisit your attitude later, but that brings me to another point you have to stop swearing, if you swear even if it is as little as the word hell or if it is a slip of the tongue, you will end up over my knee."
"Understood sir."
"And one last thing you owe Tony an apology for biting him."
Jenny's eyes widened, "You bit Tony." Remember she was with the doctor at the time when she bit him.
"Yes sorry, it was a reflex when he put his hand over my mouth."
Then my dad spoke, "Ok Caitlyn go upstairs and wait in the corner, I'll be up in five and you better be in the corner when I get upstairs." So I went upstairs.
When I entered my room I shut the door behind me and I walked over to the window and opened it half way and I waited in the corner nearest my bed. Even though he told me to stay in the corner, when I heard his footsteps I panicked and I dove under the bed. Luckily my bed had a bed skirt so I couldn't be seen. The door opened, "Caitlyn come out," man my dad sounded pissed. I did my best to keep quiet and I think it worked also I think leaving my window opened threw him off, because I heard the door slam and fading footsteps. So I quietly slid out from underneath the bed, and I stood up and when I turned around I ran straight smack into an angry Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Thank you everyone for the reviews
I fell on the floor and landed hard on my butt with a loud smack and I yelped. My dad helped me up and said still pissed, "I thought I told you to stay in the corner." He kept his grip on my arm, probably afraid I'd run.
"You did and I was, I panicked."
"That doesn't matter, if you don't listen to me and if you keep breaking my rules then I will keep spanking you until you learn that you will not get away with lying to me and defying me."
"So there's no way of getting out of this?" he shook his head, "But what about your arm?"
"Caitlyn have you forgotten I am right handed and I was shot in the left, and I'm fine. Now I'll be right back, and you better be standing in this exact spot when I get back, or so help me god." He walked out of the room, I was too scared to move my heart was beating so fast, and for the first time today I did as I was told. My dad returned with a small, brown, and polished object in his hand, a hairbrush. Oh great, I know exactly how the hairbrush feel, my biological father used it on me all the time. The first time he used it was when I got a C on a test. My dad shut the door behind him and he walked over to me and grabbed a hold of my arm and led me over to the bed. My dad sat down on the edge of the bed, and he stood me in front of him, and still keeping his grip on my arm he pulled my pants and underwear down to my knees, then he draped me over his lap. With his injured arm he held me down but not too tightly, because he didn't want his wound to tear, and because of that I didn't want to fight him. With his good arm he lifted the hairbrush and brought it down with force that brought me to tears. "OW!" SMACK SMACK "C-come o-on d-dad" SMACK SMACK "Tha-at hu-urts" SMACK SMACK "S-s-stop" After he landed two more burning smacks to my backside he set the hairbrush down next to him but his hand still came down twenty more times. Then he picked up the hairbrush again and brought it down ten more times and he stopped when I was sobbing hard, the tears just wouldn't quit. He rubbed my back and was soothing me, my butt was on fire, and you probably could roast marshmallows on it. He pulled my underwear and pants up and he sat me on his lap careful so my butt wouldn't make any contact with his legs. I hugged him while I cried and he rocked me back and forth singing a country song by Jason Michael Carroll called, "Hurry Home."
He's been sitting by the phone since she left
But it's time for work and he just can't be late
So he grabs his old guitar
And he plays a couple bars on the machine
And then he softly sings
Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home
Well the message light was blinking when he got back
It was an old friend calling cause he just heard the news
He says Man I hope you find her
If I see her I'll remind her that her dad is worried
And want her to know
Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home
Well the days dragged by without a word from her
And it looked like she might not be coming back
People said man don't you think it's time to take that old message off
He said no, you never know when she might call
She was just outside a bar in New York City
Her so-called friends had left her all alone
She was scared he wouldn't want her
But she dialed up that old number and let it ring
And then she heard him sing
Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home
He walked in just in time to hear her say
Dad, I'm on my way
My dad truly has a beautiful voice. Even though I want to be mad at him for spanking me, the way he comforts me after he punishes me is what I love about him, (I love a lot about him.) my crying has softened but I still clung to him, he didn't seem to mind though, he just kept rocking me back and forth, "Shh Shh baby girl."
"Da-ad I-I-I am-am s-so s-s-sorry."
"I know you are kiddo, just don't do anything like that…"
"B-but I-I s-s-should ha-ave j-just to-old you it-t was s-s-stupid of m-me not t-too."
"Hon, kids make mistakes, just don't do that again I hate when I have to spank you. You are grounded for another week, and since I got injured I have a few days off so you will stay with me and write lines and do chores around the house."
"Understood sir. Dad can you lay with me for a while?"
"Sure," he stood me up and made up the bad, he kicked off his shoes and got into the bed then I got into the bed next to him and laid my head on the pillow lying on my stomach, clinging to his stomach, while he rubbed my back, and sang another song but I didn't catch the words because I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Thank you everyone for the reviews
I woke up the next morning at 0800, my butt was still on fire. I opened my backpack and took the lotion out and applied it to my backside, then I winced when I pulled on my shorts but the lotion helped a little. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and I splashed some water on my face then dried. I pulled my hair back into a pony tail and I put a black N.C.I.S. hat on. I opened the door and made my way downstairs and into the kitchen, my dad was sitting at the table reading the newspaper. I walked over to the cabinet and grabbed a bowl then I grabbed the milk from the fridge, and I poured myself a bowl of Frosted Slakes and began to eat my breakfast standing. Not looking up from his paper my dad said, "Kate sit down."
"Dad do I hafta?" all he did was the corner of his paper so he could see me and I knew it would be best to sit down so I did and squeaked. So I ate super fast so I could stand again. In between bites I said, "Dad we should really get a dog." Then I shoved another bite in my mouth.
"Ok"
That stopped me and I looked up from my food and said, "Ok?"
"Yeah if you stay out of trouble for the rest of the week and do all of your chores we'll take you to the shelter on Saturday."
I got up from my seat and went over and hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you!"
"Ok…Ok you have to behave though and your mom and I have something to tell you but later when she's here. Now wash your dishes and then take the trash out."
"Ok I love you dad."
"I love you too Kate." I finished eating and washed my dishes and then I took the trash out. When I came back in my dad wasn't in the kitchen anymore so he was probably in the basement working on his boat. He left a note on the kitchen table with a pad of paper saying I had to write 'I will listen to my parents' one hundred times. If I wanted a dog I better any little task he asks of me so I sat down and winced, and I picked up the pencil and got writing. An hour and a half later, my butt was burning, but I finally stood up and paper in hand I walked down to the basement and handed my dad the sheet of paper of my lines, "Dad I finished."
"Good girl let's go to N.C.I.S."
"But dad I thought you were given a few days off because of your injury."
"Nothing can keep me from work. Now come on." The ride to N.C.I.S was unbearably uncomfortable. When we arrived up in the bullpen all heads popped up and McGee said, "Boss what are you doing here?" but my dad ignored him I followed him up the stairs to my mom's office. My dad just barged through the doors and I followed, "Oh Jethro what are you doing here? I thought I gave you a few days off?"
"You did Jen, I just came so we could tell Kate that thing we wanted to tell her." She nodded and tossed me a pillow from behind her desk and I sat on the couch. They pulled two chairs over and sat in front of me, "Well Jenny first of all I told Kate that if she behaves we can go to the shelter and get a dog."
Then my mom said, "I think a dog will be great to have, but you have to behave." I nodded, "Secondly, your father and I were thinking…..Jethro." I was confused now.
"What your mother's trying to say is how would you like to have a younger brother."
"What?"
"Well honey your dad and I were thinking of adopting a seven year old boy."
"That's awesome! What's his name? When's he getting here?"
Then my dad said, "Woah slow down. His name is Brent Pacci Jackson, he is seven and he's coming home next Wednesday." Well today is Monday so that's nine days until he gets here and five days until I get a dog.
"Awesome I can't wait to tell the others." I got up and was about to leave when my dad grabbed a hold of my arm and said, "Where are you going."
"To Abby dad."
"Ok remember behave yourself." I nodded and walked out of the room and raced down to Abby's lab. I entered the lab so fast that I almost knocked Abby off her feet, "Hey Kate where are you going so fast, wait a second how'd you get here."
"Well my dad drove me here, but that's beside the point guess what."
She just stared at me "What?"
"Well first of all my dad and mom said I could get a dog."
"Oh that's so cool."
"I know they said they'd take me to the shelter on Saturday if I behave for the rest of the week."
"Ooh that's going to be tough for you."
"ABBY!" and I playfully punched her in the arm and she giggled, "Also my parents are adopting a seven year old boy named Brent Pacci Jackson."
"Oh Kate that's awesome." She embraced me tightly in a hug.
"OW! Abby careful I haven't gotten over my last confrontation with my dad."
"Oh sorry Kate, when does he get here?
"Next Wednesday I can't wait."
"I know it's so exciting to add another one to the family lets go tell the others." We were about to leave when I said, "What about Bella and Lori?"
"There at the house."
"Alone?"
"No silly," she touched my nose, "they're with McGee's sister Sarah." I looked confused, "You'll meet her later." I smiled then we took the elevator up to the bullpen. My dad wasn't there so he was probably still in my mom's office. Then Abby said, "Kate has something to tell you guys." Ducky and Jimmy just happened to be there.
Then Tony said, "Campfire." Then everyone moved their chairs in a circle and Tony said, "Sit Kate."
"No thanks I'll stand."
Then Tony said, "Ooh what'd he use on you this time?" and Ziva head slapped him hard, "That is not any of your business my little hairy butt, now let her talk."
"Thank Ziva, if I behave for the rest of the week I can get a dog."
Then Tony said, "Tough one for you Kate," only to be head slapped by Ziva again causing him to yelp.
Everyone congratulated me and I continued, "Also my parents are adopting a seven year old boy named Brent Pacci Jackson, he arrives next Wednesday."
Ziva hugged me, "Kate I am so happy for you." Everyone congratulated me and I looked over at CK and he looked sad, "Thank you every one." Then I walked over to Carlos and whispered in his ear, "CK this doesn't change what we have," and he smiled.

Chapter 25
Sorry I haven't posted in a while my computer was on the fritz. : )
I woke up on Saturday morning at 0800. YES! Today was the day my parents are taking me to the animal shelter. My butt doesn't hurt that bad anymore, I only wince every now and then, but on the bright side I haven't done anything bad to get punished this week. I leapt out of bed and rummaged through my closet for something to wear. I finally pulled out a pair of jeans and slipped them on. I put on my cowboy boots over my socks, and I pulled a life is good shirt over my head. Then I raced downstairs to the kitchen where my parents were sitting, dressed, and drinking coffee. "We going yet, come on, let's go."
Then my dad said, "Slow down hon, I know you're excited but you need to eat first."
"Ok dad," I put and English muffin in the toaster, and when it was done I buttered it and sat down, a little too hard though and I winced. I finished my food in five minutes, and with my mouth full I said, "Done canf wef gof knowf?"
My mom said, "Swallow Kate," I swallowed, "Please," I said. They both smiled, "Ok let's go." We went out to the car, got in, and we made the hour drive to the shelter.
When we got to the shelter my mom parked the car, she insisted on driving because of my dad's arm. When we got inside we went straight to the dog section and my mom said, "Remember Kate you don't have to choose one today, if you don't see one you like we can come back tomorrow." I nodded and walked around the shelter. They were all cute but none interested me until I saw a six month old mixed breed puppy. He was mixed between a Doberman Pincher and a German Shepherd and his name is Spartan. I knelt down and the silky, smooth coated pup stumbled over, and licked my fingers through the cage, the first dog to do that to me today. My parents rounded the corner and I said, "I want this one."
My dad said "You sure?" I nodded, "Alright let's go talk to the front desk." When we went to the front desk my dad did most of the talking, "Hello we would like to adopt a dog."
The man behind the desk, who's nametag read Mike, said, "Sure which one?"
"The mixed breed named Spartan."
"Ok just fill out this paperwork," and he handed him some paperwork to fill out. After my dad finished the paperwork he handed them to Mike and said, "When can we take him home?"
"Well he's been neutered and he has all his shots, so today if you'd like."
"Please, dad," he looked at me, "Alright."
Then Mike said, "Ok I'll go get him. These are for you," he handed my dad a bed, collar, leash, and food for a week, and some toys. When Mike returned he was walking the little pup and I said, "Dad can I walk him?"
"Sure I don't see why not, he is yours." I smiled and Mike handed me the leash and said, "Good luck." When we got to the car my dad put the supplies in the trunk and I said, "Can I hold him on the ride home?"
The both said, "Sure." When we got in the car my dad's phone rang, "Yeah Gibbs…..fine after I drop Jenny and Kate off….ok we'll be right there." Then he hung up his phone, "We have to go to N.C.I.S."
Then my mom said, "Why?"
"Tony wouldn't say he just said it's really important." The whole ride to N.C.I.S. Spartan slept in my arms while I scratched his neck. When we got there I was holding Spartan and we walked into the building my mom and dad dropped Spartan and I off at Abby's lab and the rode up to the bullpen.
GIBBS POV
In the bullpen Jenny and I got off the elevator, hand in hand. Ziva and McGee were at their desks doing paperwork and Tony was in the phone. I let go of Jenny's hand and walked over to Tony's desk, he held his finger up telling me to wait, and I caught the last bit of his conversation as he spun around, "Sorry about that…..Hello?" I pressed the button on the phone to shut it off and Tony spun back around, "Hey boss what'd ya do that for?" I head slapped him, "OW! Boss!"
"Tell me DiNozzo what was so damn important that you just had to call me on my day off?"
"Well boss I thought you should know…."
"Spit it out Tony!"
"Well Luka's parole hearing is coming up in a few weeks."
"Wait a damn second DiNozzo you mean to tell me their letting this bastard get paroled? Why the HELL didn't you tell me this before?"
Then Jenny jumped in, "Calm down….Jethro."
"CALM DOWN I can't calm down Jen, I promised our little girl that her father will go away for good. So no I can't calm down Jen."
Her eyes started to fill with water and I walked over to her and embraced her in a hug and she said, "I understand Jethro, so do something about it."
"Like what Jen?"
"Testify so he will go away for good."
KATE POV
When I entered Abby's lab I was holding Spartan and Abby turned around and she beamed and ran over to me, "Oh Kate he's so adorable," she said scratching his neck, "What's his name?"
"Spartan."
"Oh I love it, with a name like that you won't be needing this," and she removed the solid green collar he was wearing and replaced it with a solid black spiked collar, "Now that suits you more," and Spartan barked in approval.
"Oh Abby it's awesome and I think he likes it too," we giggled. We sat on the floor, and I set Spartan down and we rolled a tennis ball back and forth while Spartan chased it. "Hey Abby where are all the kids?"
"With Sarah."
"Can we go to your house? I want to meet her."
"Sure let me call Gibbs first," she got out her phone and rang my dad after she hung up she said, "He said it's fine, and you can bring Spartan, he said he'll pick you up later, and I'll be staying at the house, also he told you to behave."
"I'll try Abby," and I grinned and picked up Spartan and we went to the garage and piled in the Hearse and drove to the McGee residence. We got to the McGee residence a little after 1200. I picked up Spartan and we walked up the steps and Abby put her house key in the knob and turned it and it opened. Then a girl with brown wavy hair about seventeen came over, "Hey Abbs I wasn't expecting you until later. Who's this?" Abby put her hands on the teen and said, "Sarah this is Caitlyn Gibbs. Kate meet Sarah McGee, Tim's sister."
"I got that Abby when you said Sarah McGee."
"Caitlyn don't start."
Sarah put out her hand and shook mine, "Pleased to meet you, and who's this," she said patting Spartan's neck.
"Likewise, this little guy is my new puppy, Spartan."
"He's so cute."
"Thanks, where is everyone?"
"There in the playroom, come on I'll show you." Sarah grabbed my hand and started pulling me out of the room when Abby said, "Caitlyn behave, Sarah watch her closely."
Then Sarah said, "A little over dramatic Abbs. I mean what could possibly happen?"
But Abby knew full well what she is capable of, if you put her in the same room with Carlos, it is like putting a bull in a china shop.
Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Chapter 26
When we entered the playroom Sarah put a gate up to prevent Spartan from wondering around the house. "Hey guys Kate's here," Carlos immediately stopped playing 'Clue' and he got up and walked over to me and hugged me and kissed me on the cheek, "Hey Kate, who's this fellow?"
"Everyone meet Spartan, my new pup."
Then Bella said, "He's so…"
"…adorable" Lori finished.
"Thanks guys," I said setting Spartan down, who immediately was curious and started sniffing and he stumbled over to Jake who sat down and giggled, "Goggie, I wuv you!"
Jake was playing with Spartan, Sarah, Bella, and Lori went back to their game of 'Clue' and CK and I sat down in the corner and just talked, "CK what do you want to do?"
"Well we can't do much Sarah's always watching us, one thing wrong she will tell Abby or McGee who then will probably tell our parents."
"I have an idea," then I said to Sarah, "Hey Sarah can CK and I take Spartan out he needs to go to the bathroom."
Not looking up from her game she said, "Sure, just hurry back." I picked Spartan up and CK and I went to the back door Abby was in the kitchen, we made sure her back was to us before we snuck out the back door. When we got outside Spartan did his business and rolled on his back and I scratched his belly, "See I told you it would be easy to get away." He chuckled, I spotted a football, "Here catch," he caught it and returned the pass, "CK go long!" I threw it hard, but I didn't realize my own strength because the football went right through the downstairs window with a loud CRASH!
"Shit, Kate."
"Follow me," we booked it, I scooped up Spartan and we sprinted to the side gate.
ABBY POV
I was in the kitchen sitting at the table drinking a Caf-Pow when this object flew through the window, a football. I picked up the football and stormed to the backyard, which I found empty. Then I stormed to the playroom, "SARAH AVERY MCGEE I thought I told you to watch the kids?"
She looked up, "I was…am Abby."
"Then where are Kate and Carlos?"
"I let them take Spartan outside to go to the bathroom."
"Alone? And there not there and now I have a broken window."
"Sorry Abby."
"Not as sorry as you're going to be when Tim gets home. Well we have to find them." She looked down at her feet, "How Abby?"
"You call Tim and I'll call the others."
"Can't you call Timmy?" I just stared at her, "Ok I'll call him, Jeeze Abbs."
"Hey don't start your already in enough trouble as it is." She pulled out her phone and dialed Timmy and I took out my phone and dialed Gibbs.
KATE POV
We were sitting on the side of the house, which was also fenced so you couldn't see us from the street. The fence leads up to the front of the house. We were sitting there for ten minutes, "What are we going to do Kate?"
"I don't know CK."
"They probably called your dad by now."
"Oh shit, I'm in big trouble now." All of a sudden Spartan started whining, "Shh Spartan shh," then he barked and a grey-haired man was peering over the fence, "Hey dad" "Hey Gibbs."
"Don't start you two now get over here!" I set Spartan down and held the leash and I went over to the gate and unlatched it and I looked at my dad, his feet apart, arms crossed, as if I'm not already in enough trouble I decided to run. Spartan and I got as far as the driveway when Uncle Tony jumped out of a bush and grabbed me by the waist and said, "Not so fast Caitlyn!"
"Damn you Tony," which only resulted in me being spun around and his hand making contact with my backside a dozen times.
"OW!" I said rubbing my butt, "Sorry," he marched me over to my dad. Carlos and I were led inside to the family room where Uncle Tim and Sarah were sitting. Tim on a couch opposite Sarah. Carlos and I sat on the couch with Sarah as Uncle Tony and my dad sat on the couch with Uncle Tim. Abby came in and took Spartan probably because he could potentially be a distraction. No one spoke until my dad said, "Alright who broke the window?"
Then Sarah got up and said, "I can see that I didn't do this so I'll just leave you guys to it," she was about to leave when Tim said firmly, "Sit down Sarah, you were a part of it from the beginning when you decided to let them outside alone." She sat back down.
Then my dad repeated his question, "I'm not going to ask again, who broke the window?"
Then I decided to give myself up, "Um… I did dad."
And Tony said, "Why am I not surprised," then my dad head slapped him hard, "OW! Sorry boss."
"I'm sorry dad it was an accident."
"Then why'd you run?"
Then Carlos jumped in, "Well Gibbs, sir, we were nervous and we weren't thinking."
"Well that's obvious, McGee sorry about the window, I'll pay for it."
"Thanks Boss."
"No problem Tim, now I'm going home to deal with this and I expect you to do the same. Ok Caitlyn let's go." I grabbed Spartan and I followed my dad to the car and we left, as did Tony and Carlos.
Chapter 27: Chapter 27
Chapter 27
SARAH POV
SARAH'S ROOM, MCGEE RESIDENCE
I was sitting on the edge of my bed and Tim was sitting on a chair across from me. "Timmy I didn't do anything wrong."
"You did Sarah, we trusted you to watch them."
"I was watching them Tim."
"If you were watching them Sarah, you wouldn't have let them outside alone, and if you were watching them I wouldn't have a broken window."
"I'm sorry Tim, what are you going to do to me? What's my punishment?"
"Well Sarah you didn't listen to me about watching them, so I'm going to spank you."
"Spank me? But I'm too old to be spanked, and plus the dog needed to go out."
"First of all no one is too old to be spanked. Second of all didn't Abby tell you to watch her closely?"
"Yes she did Tim and I guess I didn't listen to her I'm sorry Timmy."
"Ok then come here."
"Timmy you can't spank me I'm your sister."
"Ya but you are my responsibility when our parents arn't here, now Sarah I'm not going to ask again." I shook my head and Timmy grabbed my wrist and pulled me over his lap and landed a hard SMACK to my backside "OW" SMACK "Timmy not" SMACK "SO hard" SMACK I kept trying to get up SMACK "Sarah quit" SMACK "Moving" SMACK on the tenth he stopped and wrapped me in a hug.
"N-now what Tim?"
"Now we never speak of this again, but from now on until further notice you can come to work with me."
"Ok Tim"
"Sarah Avery McGee welcome to the family."
CARLOS POV
CK'S ROOM, DINOZZO RESIDENCE
"Dad you don't have to spank me."
"Ya I do son. You disobeyed me…"
"No I di…"
"You did son you went off alone and ran when you broke the window. Now let's just get this over with." I nodded and walked over to where he was sitting on my bed on the John Wayne comforter. I nodded again and he pulled me over his lap, and brought his hand down. Even though his hand only came down twenty five times on the seat of my jeans, it still made my ass feel like it was on fire. He stood me up and gave me a quick hug, "CK you are grounded and I want you to stay out of trouble."
"I'll try dad."
He ruffled my hair, "No…..you will."
KATE POV
FAMILY ROOM
I was sitting on the couch and my parents were sitting on the coffee table across from me. My dad, like usual, was the first to speak, "Kate before we deal with today's actions…."
"But…"
"Caitlyn don't interrupt your father."
"Sorry dad"
He nodded and continued, "Ok, your mother and I need to tell you something."
"What dad?"
"I will testify….."
"For who dad?"
"Your father….."
"But dad he's already in jail."
"Honey," my mom said, "his parole hearing is in a few weeks….."
I turned to my dad my eyes filled with tears, "You promised."
"I know, but…"
"You fucking promised and now that bastard's getting paroled."
"Caitlyn I know your upset but I will not tolerate being spoken to like that now go to your room. I'll be up in a minute." I brought Spartan upstairs and sat on my bed and I laid down with him and waited for my dad. I was scratching his neck when my parents walked in, my mom came over and picked up Spartan and brought him out of the room and downstairs to feed him, and left me alone with my dad, and he shut the door and said, "Caitlyn…."
"Dad can we just get this over with?" he nodded and sat on the edge of my bed and pointed to a spot in front of him which I walked over and stood in, "Drop the pants." I didn't even hesitate , I pulled my pants down and pulled myself over his lap he pulled my underwear down and held me down with one arm and he brought his other hand down, I winced but I didn't cry out or yell at him I just laid there and let the tears fall while he kept spanking me. I lost count on how many times his hand fell but he finally stopped. He stood me up and pulled my pants up. But before I hugged him there was a whining and scratching sound behind the door. I opened the door and Spartan trotted inside and over to his bed and he circled a few times and he finally found a spot and lied down. I shut the door and walked over to my dad's outstretched arms, he hugged me and set me on his lap and rocked me back and forth singing Kenny Chesney's song, "Don't Blink."
I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is ."
Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, one hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't Blink
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hour glass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth
Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
So I've been tryin' to slow it down
I've been tryin' to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in
Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and ya'
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't Blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So Don't Blink
No, don't blink
don't blink
life goes faster than you think
so don't blink
don't blink
life goes faster than you think
don't blink
life goes faster than you think
After my dad finished the song Spartan was sitting on the floor staring up at us, tail wagging, I chuckled and said, "Jealous much?" and he yipped I got up from my dad's lap and picked him up. My dad made up my bed and laid down and I got in next to him and set Spartan down in the middle of us. We both scratched his neck, "I love you dad," my eyes were still teary.
He brushed a tear away and said, "I love you too kiddo. I think you picked a great dog."
"I did, didn't I. would I be able to take him to N.C.I.S.?"
"I don't see why not he's bonding well with you and he's following you everywhere you go."
"He does, doesn't he? Thank you dad and I'll work off paying for the window."
He cocked an eyebrow, "Like doing what?"
"I'll file papers and….." *YAWN,* "other stuff…"
He kissed my head, "Ok kiddo you get some rest now." I then slowly drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Chapter 28
Thank you everyone for the reviews. Also thank you everyone who says it is my story because it is and I don't like being told how to write it. I like ideas and what not like who I should spank but I don't like being told who I shouldn't spank.
I woke up at 0700 to a whining sound. I winced when I got out of bed, "You have to go out boy?" in response his tail wagged back and forth. I pulled on some sweats and scooped him up and walked downstairs, I set him down and hooked a leash to his spiked collar, I walked him outside and he did his business. I brought him inside and I fed him and I made myself some toast and I finished it right when my parents walked into the room. "Kate, honey, did you feed Spartan and let him out?"
"Yes mom, when do we leave?"
My dad spoke, "Now I guess." I put the leash back on Spartan and I picked him up and everyone went out to the car and piled in and we drove to N.C.I.S. the ride was uncomfortable but we finally arrived. We rode the elevator up to the bullpen; I introduced Spartan to Ziva because she hasn't met him yet. Then my dad set me up in the corner by the stairs, "Kate I need you to deliver these," he said handing me envelopes, "then I need you to sort these out by date."
"You serious?"
He cocked an eyebrow, "Don't you dare think that I won't drag you to the interrogation room, because I will."
I gulped, "Understood sir."
"Good girl," and he went back to his desk. I looked at the first envelope which read 'Abigail Sciuto.' I picked up Spartans leash, "Come on boy," and he followed me to the elevator and we rode down to the lab. I entered the lab and Abby was typing away at her computer listening to Plastic Death, which was blaring. "Abby," she didn't hear me, "ABBY!" she spun around, "Jeeze Kate, I thought you were supposed to be helping your dad?"
"I was…..am this is for you," I handed her an envelope. "Thanks and these are for you," she handed me a badge and a dog shirt that read N.C.I.S. K-9 on the back of it. "Oh Abby thanks there so cute," I put the shirt on Spartan and I hooked the badge to his collar. "You're welcome, now git going before you get in trouble," she gave me a bear hug and we left. My next stop was Autopsy to deliver one for Jimmy and Ducky. Spartan followed me into Autopsy. Jimmy, who is like a cousin, wasn't there, but I spotted Ducky, "Ducky!" and I ran over to him and hugged him.
"Hello Caitlyn," and he returned the hug. Ducky is like the grandfather type figure on the team, "What can I do for you my dear?"
"This is for you and Jimmy," I handed him the envelopes.
"Thank you Caitlyn. Now run along," I gave him another quick hug and went back upstairs, because all I had to do was deliver those three envelopes. When I got to the desk to sort out the papers by date I was afraid to sit because my butt was still on fire. I sat down and immediately stood up I walked over to my dad's desk and Spartan followed. I stood over my dad's desk and he looked up and said, "Can I help you Caitlyn?"
I whispered in his ear, "Dad can I have a pillow?" he chuckled, "Please dad I already delivered the envelopes and I'm going to do the other thing, pleeease."
"Oh all right," and he handed me a pillow and I booked it back to the corner before Tony could comment, and Spartan followed me. I sat on the pillow and winced, and I picked up Spartan and set him on my lap. I was halfway through sorting the cases by date around noon. My dad came over he gave me a sandwich, and said, "How's it coming?"
"Fine what's up?"
"Well we have a case."
"You want me in Abby's lab?"
"I want you to finish this, but no I don't want you in the lab I want you in mom's office." He picked up the papers and I grabbed my sandwich and I followed him to my mom's office and Spartan followed. We entered her office and she came over and gave my dad a kiss, "Jen make sure she behaves."
"I will Jethro, ok I set up a desk in the corner so you can finish what your dad assigned you."
"Ok mom," then my dad kissed the top of my head and said, "Behave" and he and the team left.
An hour later my dad and the team still had not returned. I looked over at my mom, she was on the phone I got up and said, "Mom I'm going to the bathroom then I'm going to get Spartan a drink."
She put her hand over the speaker on the phone and said, "Ok, hon, hurry back, and don't do anything to get into trouble."
"Who? Me mom?" she chuckled. I walked downstairs and Spartan followed at my heels. But before I went to the bathroom, it was time for a little payback. I am going to get Tony back for spanking me all those times. The downside to this plan is I know without a doubt I'm going to get spanked, but I couldn't resist. I went over to his desk I made sure no one was coming, and they weren't, so I opened the middle draw of his desk and smiled when I saw a screwdriver and superglue. I took the screwdriver and loosened every single screw on his chair and desk. Then I took the superglue and careful not to press to hard I super glued every single small object to his desk from pencils, to his stapler, to his phone. "Come on Spartan," I went to the bathroom and then I filled his bowl and placed it on the ground and he drank it. Then I filled a water bottle just in case he got thirst again. We went back up to my mom's office, "Kate what took you so long?"
"Um….. I let him have a long drink downstairs." It wasn't entirely a lie. Ten minutes later my dad and the team returned, I knew they came back because I could hear Tony loudly talking about a movie the case reminded him about. Five minutes later there was a loud CRASH my mom stared at me and then a voice boomed, "CAITLYN GET DOWN HERE!"

"Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs what did you do?"
"Nothing mom."
"Don't you dare lie to me," she walked over to me and grabbed my ear, "Ow ow ow," she dragged me downstairs, and left Spartan in her office. She didn't let go of my ear until we were next to my dad. Ok I have to admit it was a funny sight to see, Tony was still on the ground, and Ziva was helping him up. Parts of his chair was scattered around him, and his desk was in pieces on the floor with office objects glued to the small wooden pieces of what was left of his desk. I mumbled, "Expect more where that's coming" which were the first words Tony said to me after he spanked me for the first time. But I was spanked a dozen times for that remark. I spun around and glared at my dad who said, "Don't look at me." I stared at my mom, mouth open in shock because that's the first time she spanked me, then she said firmly, "Caitlyn apologize."
I turned around and said, "Sorry Uncle Tony." Then Tony, who had finally gotten to his feet said, "Oh yeah, just wait until I get my hands on you", he started to lunge at me and Ziva held me back. Then my dad said, "Calm down DiNozzo!"
"Sorry boss"
"Don't apologize Tony," meanwhile I was attached to my mom's hip. But when I heard my dad say Tony will deal with me now and he'll deal with me later I released my grip and backed into a nearby corner then Tony said, "Ok boss, come on Caitlyn." I shook my head and my dad said, "Caitlyn I suggest you go with your Uncle." I looked at my mother for sympathy but she said, "Go Caitlyn you knew what you were getting into." I decided to own up to my actions so I walked over to Tony and he took my hand and brought me to the interrogation room, the grip he had on my hand was so tight that I was pleading for him to let go but he ignored me. We got inside and he let go and slammed the door and locked it. He walked over and pulled two chairs over and said, "Sit," I shook my head. "Caitlyn you have two choices you can sit down now or you can sit uncomfortably." I gulped and I decided it would be in my best interest to sit so I did and then he sat down across from me. He just stared at me and I said, "What?"
I saw his jaw clench, "You know what. Do you want to tell me why you unscrewed all the screws on my chair and desk and why you super glued objects to my desk?"
"Not particularly"
"Caitlyn I suggest you lose that attitude."
"Didn't think I had one," Tony grabbed my arm and he pulled me over his lap so fast I didn't know what hit me, except for his hand of course. He gave me fifteen hard swats and he set me back in the chair. My eyes were wet with tears because he reignited the fire in my butt from yesterdays spanking, "So you want to tell me why?"
"The truth?"
"That would be nice."
"Well I wanted to get back at you….."
"For?"
I moved in the chair to get comfortable, "Spanking me, I knew what would happen but I couldn't resist."
"I'll see to it that you will resist now let's get this over with."
"But Tony you already spanked me."
"For the attitude, not for the desk incident."
"This is ridiculous, I'm outta here," I reached the door and had my hand on the knob and Tony stood up and said, "Open that door and I won't hesitate to take the belt to you." He started to unbuckle his belt to emphasize his point and I was at his feet in seconds "That's what I thought," and he buckled the belt back up again. He sat back down and tugged my sweats and underwear down and draped me over his lap. He held me down with one arm and his hand came down with a sharp SMACK which brought me to tears, I put my hands back to protect myself but he held both my hands at my back. "Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs" SMACK SMACK SMACK "you will never" SMACK SMACK SMACK "do that again" SMACK SMACK SMACK "I could have" SMACK SMACK SMACK "really gotten hurt" SMACK SMACK SMACK "I-I-I-m-m s-s-sorry U-uncle T-tony" I sobbed. He stopped and rubbed circles on my back he stood me up and pulled my underwear and sweats back up and I flung my arms around his neck and he set me on his lap so my butt didn't make contact with his lap, he rocked me back and forth singing Bitter and Blue
I've got a query
So I'll riddle you
You and your theories,
Divine false and true
But what about
The gnawing doubt inside
Here's mud in your eye
Oh the beholder
So steadfast and true
Observing the wreckage
From his point of view
In revolt of long lost hope
Oh, yeah
Here's mud in your eye
I'm thoughtful and
I'm gloomy and
Bitter and blue
Thoughtful and
Gloomy and
Bitter and blue
So give me an answer
A place and a time
A way to advance
A cosmic sign
And I'll show you
My point of view
Oh, yeah
Yeah, I'll show you
I haven't been happy
In such a long time
Cloudy and grey skies
Instead of sunshine
I guess that's how
I'm looking now
So pale
Like I'm in disguise
I'm thoughtful and
I'm gloomy and
Bitter and blue
Thoughtful and
Gloomy and
Bitter and blue
If it's precious then why is it so cheap?
I haven't been happy
In such a long time
Cloudy and grey skies
Instead of sunshine
I guess that's how
I'm looking now
So pale
Like I'm in disguise
I'm thoughtful and
I'm gloomy and
Bitter and blue
Thoughtful and
Gloomy and
Bitter and blue
After he was finished I said, "Uncle Tony that was beautiful."
"You like it, I wrote it."
"Wow"
"Next time we have our 'family' get together I'll play my guitar."
"Ok"
"Just stay out of trouble and no more pranks on me."
"Deal, do you think my dad's still gonna spank me?"
"Oh kiddo I wouldn't put it past him." He kissed my forehead, "Come on" he held my hand and we went back to the bullpen.

WARNING SEX SCENE=TIVA
When we arrived in the bullpen there was a new desk and chair in the spot where Tony's old one use to be and the area was all cleaned up. There was a chair next to my dad's desk and when he spoke he sounded pissed, "Sit."
"Can I…"
"No sit," I sat down and yelped, I almost jumped up but didn't want to risk doing that. I am never going to be able to sit comfortably again. He spun his chair around to face me, "Caitlyn you could have seriously injured my agent today."
"I'm sorry dad, what are you going to do?"
"Well I am going to spank you later tonight…."
"Come on dad Tony already spanked me…and it hurts."
"Suppose to, and I think for this stunt you pulled you deserve two. Also you are going to write 'I will never do things that can injure myself or others' you will write now until we leave."
"Dad?" he stared at me "Ok….ok but can mom bring Spartan down." He nodded and rang my mom and she opened the door and my dad whistled. Spartan ran out the door and raced down the stairs and leapt onto my lap and I started writing. When it was time to go I had a little over three hundred lines. Before we left I apologized to Tony once more amd we walked to the car.
TONY POV
"Hey Zi where's McAbsense?"
"He is in the lab, let's get out of here."
"What about the kids?"
"I have spoken to McGee he said he will bring the kids by later, they where into a game they were playing."
I smiled, no kids for the afternoon, "Why didn't you say so, come on Ziva what are you waiting for your driving." She was super fast driving home and cut our usual time in half. When we were in our room I already had my shirt off Ziva smiled and said, "Oh Tony before we get to that first thing is first you did not go to hard on her did you?"
"No I didn't Zi, she deserved it though, I could've really gotten hurt."
"I understand, honey, are you feeling ok?"
"Well sweet cheeks, I am a little sore." She came over and started to massage my shoulders, on the bed. "Oh baby that feels good."
"You like?"
"YA but you know what I would like more?"
"What?"
"This," I turned around and pushed her down on the bed and started to kiss her, she giggled. I stopped kissing her and unbuttoned her shirt and unhooked her bra, and she worked on my pants and soon we had no clothes. I was extremely hard and I rubbed against her leg as I kissed her deeply. We moaned and groaned and she rolled over so she was on top I ran my fingers through her long black hair, "Oh baby," she grabbed my length and guided me inside her. We stayed together for a long time and we rocked back and forth and into orgasm.
KATE POV
When we arrived home my dad didn't say a word. We went inside and I fed Spartan and grabbed a quick bite to eat and then my dad said, "Go to your room I'll be up later." I picked Spartan up and brought him to my room, I shut the door and took off his outfit and I put my pajamas on. I was lying on my stomach patting him for an hour when my dad walked in, he came over and scooped up Spartan and put him outside the door and shut it. I was still lying on my stomach when he said, "Sit up."
"No thanks I'll pass."
"Caitlyn don't test me." I sat up and winced, he brought over a chair and sat in front of me.
"You know you don't have to spank me, right?"
"I don't?"
"No I've already been spanked."
"True but you deserve two after that stunt you pulled and you know it. Now come here." I stood up and started to remove my pajama bottoms when my dad said, "Leave 'em" I didn't question him because then I'm sure I would lose them. I pulled myself over his lap and he wasted no time as the first SMACK fell which brought me to tears. He only brought his hand down twenty times but it hurt like hell because of yesterdays spanking and the one I received from Tony. After he was done he stood me up and I climbed up on to his lap and rested my head on his shoulders and cried and being the Marine that my dad is he rocked me back and forth while he sang the David Ball song, "Riding with Private Malone,"
I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds
When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye
The Lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
And when I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
What she called a Chevy was a '66 Corvette
And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
But what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
The date was 1966 and this is what he wrote
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
And if you're reading this then I didn't make it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
And though you may take her and make her your own
You'll always be rid-ing with Private Malone
Well it didn't take me long at all I had her running good
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the ragtop down
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
I'd get the feelings sometimes if I'd turn real quick I'd see
A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
Who fought for his country and never made it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
And he told me to take her and make her my own
And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
One night it was raining hard and I took the curve to fast
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
Who fought for his country and never made it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
That night I was riding with Private Malone
That night I was riding with Private Malone
After he was done he stood me up and made up my bed and I got in and laid down and he said, "Kate I'll be right back."
"Don't leave me, stay with me for a while."
"Kiddo I'll be right back."
"Ok" when he opened the door Spartan raced in and jumped on the bed and came over and licked the drying tears from my face. Five minutes later my dad walked back in and came over and laid next to me. "Dad where'd you go."
"No where I just needed to get something."
"Like?" he gave me a look that said 'change the subject or else' "So…. Less than a day until Brent gets here."
"That's right, you excited?"
"Yes I am, dad schools starting soon where am I going to go?"
"You'll probably go to D.C. Memorial School along with Tony and Ziva's kids and Abby and McGee's kids, the school ranged from K-12 grade."
"Cool at least I'll know some kids, where is Spartan staying?"
"He'll probably come to N.C.I.S. with us and stay in mom's office we can keep him in a playpen with water and toys."
"Ok"
"Also school gets out at 2:10 and its right by work so you will come to work right after school I'll give you until 2:40, it shouldn't take you that long and you'll have other kids to walk with."
"Ok, man we need to go shopping for school clothes and supplies."
"Sorry kiddo, shopping's not my expertise ask your mother, now get some rest." He left and I was asleep within a minute.

When I woke up the next morning at 0600 Spartan was still asleep next to me. My butt was still on fire. I flipped on the bedside lamp and on the table was a bottle of lotion; my dad must have left it after I fell asleep. I got out of bed and slipped some sweats on after I applied some lotion to my butt, wincing in the process. When I turned around Spartan was awake, standing on the bed, tail wagging. I walked over to him and picked him up, cuddling him. Even though it was early I was wide awake and I couldn't fall back asleep. I brought him downstairs and fed him. After I fed him I let him outside, and he did his business, then I grabbed a tennis ball and played catch with him for a half an hour. We went inside and I had a bowl of cereal and toast, standing up, finishing as my dad walked in. he walked over to me and hugged me and kissed me on the head, "You ready to go?"
"Sure where's mom?"
"She had to go into work early."
"Alright"
"Now I want you to behave today."
"I will" I scooped Spartan up and I grabbed a pillow and we walked out to the car. We got in and we drove to N.C.I.S.
When we arrived at N.C.I.S. Spartan, my dad, and I rode up to the bullpen. My dad told me to take Spartan and go up to mom's office, which I did after we said our hellos. When I entered her office I shut the door and set Spartan down, "Hello Kate I set up a table that you can draw or do other things to keep yourself busy, also you still have your backpack here I set it on the chair along with a pillow.
"Thanks mom," she smiled and went back to doing her work. I sat down and winced, and Spartan fell asleep at my feet. I pulled out my drawing pad, I think of myself as a pretty good artist. I was thinking to myself of what to draw then it hit me I can draw a portrait of James Bond for Tony. It will be sort of like an "I'm Sorry Card," only in picture form. I picked up a pencil and started to sketch. An hour later I was putting the finishing touches on it and I was done. Thankfully because I needed to stand, my butt was burning. I stood up and said, "Mom can I bring this picture to Tony?"
"Let me see."
"Mom it's a surprise, and anyway I'm not going to get into trouble when dad's down there."
"Ok hurry back" I headed for the door, "and Caitlyn," I looked back at her, "I mean it." Spartan followed me downstairs and when Tony saw me he said, "Hello Caitlyn come to play more tricks on me again?"
"Me? Of course not, but if you act like that I won't give you this picture I drew for you."
"Ok give it to me," I walked over and handed him the picture. When he saw the picture he said, "Thank you Kate," he got up and got down on both knees so he was at eye level with me and he hugged me.
My eyes started to water and I said, "Sorry for yesterday Uncle Tony."
"Hey kiddo, don't cry," he brushed away a tear, "its ok, now run along before your mom worries."
"Ok" and I hugged him once more and he kissed my head and Spartan and I walked back up to my mother's office. I shut the door when we got into her office. "Kate what did you draw for him?"
"Just a picture of James Bond."
At noon there was a knock on the door, "Enter" and Uncle Timmy walked in, "Hey director, Gibbs said I can come and get Kate, we have food and a table set up in the lab."
"Ok McGee just watch her." I hugged her and I left Spartan asleep in a playpen. McGee took my hand and brought me down to the lab. When we got to the lab all the kids, including Sarah, were sitting at the table with food on it, like usual I took a seat next to Carlos. I sat down wincing and grabbed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Carlos squeezed my leg and said, "What did you do now?" all the other kids looked up and I said, "What do you mean?"
"Come on Katie you winced when you sat…."
"Um…."
"We have all been in this position before."
The Bella said, "Ya Kate…."
"…..tell us," Lori finished.
"Well I super glued all of Uncle Tony's small objects to his desk, then I unscrewed all the screws on his desk and his chair so when he sat everything fell apart."
"Was it worth it Kate?"
"Hell…"
Then Abby said, "Caitlyn don't make me call your dad."
"Sorry Abby, heck no CK I got double one from my dad and one from yours. Man, your dad spanks hard."
"Tell me about it, yours does too."
"When did you ever get spanked by my dad?"
"Well I knew Uncle Gibbs pretty much my entire life. Let's see the first time he spanked me was when I was around the age of seven. My mom and dad had to run some errands, so they left me with Uncle Gibbs to babysit me. Just to let you know he was building a different boat in his basement. So anyways he told me to stay in the family room and watch the television, while he went upstairs to grab a case of movies to watch from the attic. As soon as the coast was clear, being a little kid and all I wanted to explore, so I walked down to the basement. I spotted the boat, it was gorgeous and I wanted to help because I always watch your dad do it and he would let me help sometimes. I grabbed a chisel and I walked over to the boat and I started to carve random things in the boat."
"Then what happened?" Sarah and I said at the same time.
"Hold your horses I'm getting to that part. Well your dad decided to walk down at that very moment and he said in a pissed tone my full name, 'Carlos Kennedy DiNozzo' you know you're not supposed to be down here without an adult and you aren't supposed to touch my tools and you ruined my boat. He came over to me and pulled over a chair and pulled my pants and boxers down and spanked me. And when I told my parents my dad just said, well you know better. The end. Believe me when I say this I have learned my lesson, I never did that again. What did you think of my story?"
"Well CK it was interesting." I said
"Katie just make sure you explain the rules to Brent and tell him they are not kidding."
"I will…." Just then my dad walked in, "Come on Kate let's go back upstairs."
"Come on dad cant I stay?"
Then Abby spoke, "Ya I'll watch her Gibbs."
"That worked out real well last time."
"Gibbs that hurt," she made a shocked face.
"Fine I'll come dad, bye guys," they all said goodbye and Carlos gave me a hug and my dad walked me back to my mom's office. After he left I said, "Mom?"
"Yes Kate?"
"Can we go shopping for school supplies?"
"Sure honey."
"When can we go?"
"Now if you'd like."
"Ok. Spartan can stay in the pen."
"Sure come on," I took her hand and we went downstairs, but before we went out to the car we stopped at my dad's desk and my mom said, "Jethro we are going out for a while meet you at home."
"Ok have fun."
"Oh and dad don't forget Spartan!"
"I promise I won't." And we headed for the elevator.

We went down to the car and we got in and I winced when I sat, "You ok hon?"
"I'm fine mom just the usual," we drove to a shopping center that had all different types of shopping store. She parked the car and turned the ignition off. "Where do you want to go first?"
"Can we go get the school supplies first, mom?"
"Sure," we got out of the car and crossed the street and went into a "Target." She grabbed a cart and we walked down the school isle. We put pencils, erasers, pens, and a couple of hand held sharpeners in the cart then she put two calculators in the cart, "Mom why do we need two of those?"
"Well I thought we would get some stuff for Brent."
"Right, I can't wait until tomorrow. Hey mom can I get this?" I held up a Superman lunchbox.
"Sure, and see if they have a batman one because Brent loves batman."
"Ok," I found one and put the batman and superman lunchboxes and notebooks, and folders in the cart. This is going to be great because I strongly dislike batman and superman is the best but my parents don't know that yet. This kid better not cross me on that subject. I grabbed a green backpack and a black one for Brent and I put them in the cart. She put two binders in the cart and she bought another drawing pad for me, and we checked out. We put the supplies in the car and we walked down to "Old Navy." After we checked out of Old Navy I had a lot of jeans, collared shirts, some Superman tees, and a new pair of sneakers. I am a tom boy and I always have been. She got Brent the same things minus the superman tees. She got him batman shirts instead. We went out to the car and put the stuff in the trunk and we both got in the car, "Thanks mom."
"Your welcome sweetie." She started the car and started to drive home.
"Um…. Mom?"
"Yes,"
"Can I ask a question?"
"Sure"
"Where does dad get his discipline methods?"
"I think his father."
"Oh can I meet him sometime? I never had a grandfather type figure before."
"Sure all five of us, including Spartan can visit him will take a trip we just have to talk to your dad okay."
"Ok" we arrived at the house a few minutes after eight. We grabbed the supplies and brought them inside and were greeted by a happy, bouncing puppy. "Hey boy," I bent down and patted him on the head. Then I walked down to the kitchen and my dad was sitting at the table, I walked over to where he was sitting and I hugged him, "Hi dad."
"Hey kiddo how'd it go?"
"Great! I got a lot of new stuff."
"That's great I already fed Spartan."
"Thanks dad, um I already talked to mom can we take a trip sometime to visit my grandfather, your dad?"
"Sure maybe at the end of this month, when Brent settles in."
"Ok"
"Why don't you go up to bed we have a big day tomorrow."
"Ok I love you dad."
"Love you too hon."
The next morning I was showered, dressed in jeans and a Superman tee, and I ate breakfast, and I was downstairs by ten o'clock. My parents walked in and said, "You ready to go sweetie?" my mom said.
"Yes mom," we gaited Spartan in the kitchen, with his toys and bones and a lot of water, and we went to the car and got in. I am still uncomfortable when I sit, we made the hour long drive to the adoption center. When we arrived we went inside and were greeted by a pretty blond, "Hello," she shook our hands, "I'm Paula Cassidy, I am handling the adoption process for Brent."
"Hello I'm Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and this is my wife Jenny, and our daughter Kate."
"Nice to meet all of you, but before we finalize this, can I speak to you and your wife?"
"Sure, Kate sit on this bench," there was a bench across from her office, "and don't move."
"Yes sir," and I sat down.
GIBBS POV
We were led into her office and she said, "Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs if you could just sit for a moment." We both sat.
"What is this about Paula?" I said
"Well I do this with all of the parent just to give them information on the kids they adopt. I just wanted to let you know about Brent. Well when he was about four his parents abandoned him so he is afraid that he will be abandoned again. He also has behavioral problems."
"What sort of problems?"
"Well I don't know if you've read his file or not but Brent had ADHD."
"And what does that mean?" Jenny asked.
"Well he needs to take medication every day, and he has difficulty focusing and he can be impulsive and hyper sometimes. He needs a lot of work and a strong sense and discipline of order."
I said, "Not a problem, thank you." I shook her hand again and we walked out the door.
KATE POV
Paula introduced us to Miss Donovan who was holding a little boys hand and she said, "And this little guy is Brent." Brent is adorable, he is seven years old, he has hazel nut eyes, jet black hair, and he is wearing a batman tee and cameo pants. Then Paula said, "Brent this is your new adoptive family, Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, his wife Jenny, and Caitlyn their daughter."
"Nice to meet you."
Then my dad got down on one knee and put a hand on his shoulder, "Son it's a pleasure. Kate we are going to finalize the papers, can you explain the rules and the consequences to Brent." When they went back into the room we sat on the bench and I winced and I explained all of the rules to Brent, the same ones my dad explained to me on the second day I was with him.
"What will happen if I break a rule?"
"You will be spanked and trust me on this don't test them."
"I'll try not to." They finished and we went out to the car and got in, "She explained the rules to you?"
"Yes um…..dad." I saw my dad smile from my seat. We were a half an hour from the house when Brent said, "Oh and by the way Kate superman sucks."
"Does not"
"Does to"
"Not"
"To"
"Not"
"To"
"Not"
"HEY! Do not make me stop this car," my dad yelled, "because I will."
"To," it was if he just ignored him, or just to test him. My dad pulled over to the side of the rode and he got out and opened Brent's door and pulled him over his knee and landed six smacks to his backside and placed him back in his seat after a hug. It was a silent ride back to the house after that. When we got home I said, "Brent do you like dogs?"
"I love 'em."
"Come on I just got a new puppy, his name is Spartan." Brent followed me into the kitchen and he said, "He's adorable."
"Thanks," we sat down and started patting him, "our parents work at N.C.I.S., so we'll go tomorrow and you'll meet the rest of the team, they are like our aunts and uncles, I'll introduce you to everyone."
"Ok," just then my parents walked in and my mom said, "Kate, honey, you mind showing Brent around, we'll feed Spartan and we'll call you when dinners ready."
"Ok, sure mom." I took him upstairs to what would have been the guest room, but my parents made it into his room. I've never really been in this room before but it is cute, for a seven year old. It had sky blue walls and a twin bed in the corner of the room with a batman comforter, a desk, and a bookshelf. We shut the door and sat on the floor, "Um Kate are there any more rule you should tell me about?"
"Other than the ones I already told you, don't go into the basement without an adult."
"Why?"
"Well my dad has a lot of dangerous tools down there and he worries we could get hurt."
"Oh ok,"
"Maybe he can show you later, he is building a boat down there."
"Cool!" Just then we were called down to the kitchen.
I then asked, "Mom what are we having?"
"Well we are having Chicken Alfrado, you like that Brent?"
"Yes, ma'm," all four of sat down to eat and Spartan laid at my feet. Brent started cutting small pieces of chicken, my dad didn't notice, yet but he kept feeding Spartan from the table. At least he thought my dad didn't notice, but he sees everything, "Brent please don't feed the dog from the table."
"Why?"
"Well it teaches him bad behavior and he will keep on begging and he will always want food all the time."
"Well maybe I want him that way." I looked at my mom and I was shocked that he even had the guts to say that.
"Brent Pacci Gibbs you change that attitude right now."
"And if I don't?"
"You know the rules, you know what will happen, so last warning." Then Brent took a piece of chicken and dropped it of the floor, man did this kid hear anything my dad just said? I thought I explained the rules thoroughly, I guess with some kids they don't stick in the beginning.

GIBBS POV
I got up from my seat and took him by the arm, "Ok dad I'm done."
"Too late for that now, I warned you." I still had a hold of his arm and I brought him up to his room. I shut the door behind us and I sat him on the bed and I pulled over his desk chair and sat in front of him, "Didn't Kate explain the rules and consequences to you?"
"Yes sir, she did."
"Then why would you continue with the attitude?"
"I don't know, I guess I just wanted to see how far it went to get you to this point."
"Well next time I won't be so lenient, and you will lose the shorts."
"I honestly don't give a rat's ass whether I lose them or not."
"Well good because you just lost them."
"I take it back dad."
"Sorry kid no backsies. Now let's get this over with."
"Ok dad," I stood him up and pulled his cameo pants down, I then pulled him over my lap, I had to smile because he was wearing Batman boxers. I pulled his boxers down, "Dad?" I held him down with one arm as I brought my other hand down causing him to yelp. "Dad-dy st-top" SMACK "You will" SMACK "Change" SMACK "Your attitude." SMACK SMACK "Now and," SMACK "Follow my rules." SMACK SMACK. I stopped to the sound of his sobs, I pulled his boxers and cameos up and I set him on my lap and he cried in my shoulder and I sang a Billy Ray Cyrus song called "Some gave all"
I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cries
As he said these words to me
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died America can't you see
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall
Some gave all
Some gave all
"Shh, baby boy," I ran my fingers through his hair and I rocked him back and forth.
"I-I s-s-sorry dad-dy."
"Its ok sport just behave yourself."
"I will daddy, but what if Kate asks what happens?"
"You are to tell me no matter what. After I discipline you kids it's over and we forget about it and we don't bring it up again."
"Ok daddy"
"I love you son"
"I love you t…." I shifted my weight to look at him, he had fallen asleep. Just then there was a knock on the door and it opened and Jenny walked in. I whispered, "Shh, he's asleep, help me with the bed." She nodded and I got up and she pulled the covers down and I placed him on his stomach and we both kissed his forehead and went back downstairs.
KATE POV
I was still at the table eating, then I started to move my food around on the plate, when my parents walked in, "Hey dad where's Brent?"
"He's asleep."
"You must've whomped him good." I knew I should've kept my mouth shut and not have said anything because my dad got to me so fast I didn't even have time to react. He hauled me out of my chair and landed six almighty hard swats to my backside.
"OW! OW! OW! Dad, sorry." I said rubbing the sting out of my butt.
He still had a hold of my arm and he pointed a finger at me, "We can continue this upstairs if you don't get off this subject."
"No I'm good sir," he released my arm.
"You can now help your mother finish clearing the table than you can go up to bed."
"But dad it's only 7:30," he just stared at me and I thought he was about ready to pounce, "No, ok dad I'll go." My dad left the room and went down to the basement to work on his boat. My mom was clearing the table and I started to wash the dishes and my mom said, "Caitlyn you know better than to test your father."
"I know I'm sorry mom."
"Go on up to bed I'll finish this."
"But mom what about dad?"
"I'll handle it, now go on."
"Ok I love you mom," and I went over and hugged her."
"I love you to, hon," and I ran upstairs."
JENNY POV
I was finishing the dishes when I heard footsteps behind me and someone put their arms around my waist and kissed my neck, "Where is Caitlyn, Jen?"
"She went up to bed." He broke his grip and started to walk away and he said, "Oh sheis going to have one sore bottom."
"Jethro I told her she could leave."
"Ah, now Jen why would you do that?"
"Having Brent here is a really big adjustment for her, and she just needs time."
"What does that have to do with the dishes Jen?"
"Well she did do half of them and I thought I'd finish them."
"Ok babe," and he kissed me. "Come on Jennifer," he took my hand and led me upstairs and into the bedroom and locked the door.

KATE POV
I woke up to a rough, moist feeling on my face. I opened my eyes and I noticed what it was, it was Spartan licking my face. It was 0700, "Oh let's go feed you boy." I pulled on my jeans, wincing slightly, and I pulled on a shirt, and I put my N.C.I.S. cap on. Then I brought him down to the kitchen. When I entered the room everyone was sitting at the table finishing their breakfast and my mom said, "Morning Kate, I was just going to wake you."
"Morning everyone," I got Spartan's food bowl and fed him, then I grabbed some cereal and sat down, "Um dad when are we leaving?"
"In about twenty minutes."
"Ok dad, Brent I can't wait to introduce you to everyone."
"Me neither, Kate what do you do with Spartan?"
"He comes with us."
"Cool"
"Speaking of which I need to get his outfit, I'll be right back." I raced upstairs and grabbed his badge and outfit then I raced back downstairs. I put the badge on his collar then I put the shirt on him, causing Brent to giggle, "That's cute Kate."
"Thanks squirt," my parents smiled at the nickname. Twenty minutes later we all piled in the car and drove to N.C.I.S. When we parked my dad said, "Kate where are you going first."
"I was thinking Auntie Abby."
"Ok you two behave. Also have her call me if you two are going someplace else."
"Ok dad," and we went to the elevator followed by Spartan. "You are going to love Abby, Brent."
"Why?"
"Cause she's awesome, and she's like a big kid, and she's fun to hang with. But, I have to warn you she loves to hug."
"Oh thanks for the warning." When we got out of the elevator you could hear the music blaring.
"OH I FORGOT TO MENTION SHE LOVES LOUD MUSIC!" when we entered the lab I went over and shut off her boom box. Without even turning around she said, "Caitlyn if that's you, you better turn my music back on or you'll regret what happens."
Then Brent whispered to me, "I thought you said she was the fun one?
"She is, um Abby this is Brent Pacci Jackson- Gibbs." She spun around with a big smile on her face and she ran over to us and embraced us in a hug. When she broke the hug she said, "It is really nice to meet you."
"It is nice to meet you too Abby." She ruffled his hair.
"Abby are the other kids in your office?"
"Yes Kate, go on."
"Come on Brent." Brent and Spartan followed me into her office. "Hey everyone this is Brent." Everyone said hello and I said, "Alright now Brent the three girls are Sarah, Bella, and Lori. Bella and Lori are twins and they are Abby and Tim's kids. You will meet Tim when we get upstairs. Bella's the one with the short black hair and Lori's the one with the long brown hair. Sarah is Tim's sister. The younger boy is Jake and this big kid is Carlos, "He came over and gave me a hug, "They are Tony and Ziva's kids you will also meet them when we get upstairs."
"It is really nice to meet you all." There were a few scattered like wises and I said, "We'll see you later guys I have to introduce him to the rest of the team." We entered the main part of the lab and I said, "Come on Brent."
"Kate don't we have to call dad first?"
"Oh that right, um Abby can you call my dad to tell him we are going to autopsy."
"Sure go on and can you turn my music back on when you leave."
"Ok," I gave her a quick hug and I turned her music back on and Brent and Spartan followed me down to autopsy. Ducky was sitting at his desk and Palmer was leaning over his shoulder. I cleared my throat and Ducky stood up and they both turned around, "Brent this is Dr. Donald Mallard and his assistant Jimmy Palmer."
"Call me Ducky, my dear boy."
Brent giggled, "Ducky I like that, nice to meet you guys."
"It's a pleasure son."
Then I said, "See Brent, Ducky is like the grandfather of the team, although he is much younger."
"Thank you, my dear," and he gave me a hug.
"Jimmy is like our cousin because he is so young."
"Thanks Kate, it's nice to meet you Brent."
"Likewise Jimmy."
Then I said, "Ducky can you call my dad to tell him we are on our way up to the bullpen."
"Sure my dear." The three of us got into the elevator and we rode up to the bullpen. When we got upstairs it seemed like everyone was waiting for us. They were all standing around my dad's desk. "Hey everyone this is Brent."
"Hello" everyone said in unison.
"This younger looking agent is Timothy McGee. He is married to Abby and the twins are his kids. Also he is great with computers."
"Nice to meet you sport," and Uncle Timmy shook his hand.
"These next people are the parents of Carlos and Jake. This pretty lady is Ziva."
"Thank you Kate. It is a pleasure to meet you Brent." She embraced him with a hug.
"Finally we have Anthony DiNozzo. He's cute and has a great personality. But, if you get on his nerves he has a hand like iron."
"Caitlyn if you don't stop you'll be feeling that iron." I gulped, "Pleasure Brent," and he shook his hand.
"It's really nice to meet all of you," and my dad ruffled his hair and said, "Why don't you two go back downstairs to Abby's lab and hang out with the other kids."
"Ok daddy" "Ok dad" both of us replied.
"You two behave yourselves and no fighting."
"Yes sir," and I saluted him.
"Caitlyn the sarcasm."
"Right sorry sir," and I grabbed Brent and scooted away before he swatted my bottom, and Spartan followed us to the elevator.

Thank you very much for the reviews they are appreciated
When we got down to the lab, we checked in with Abby and went into her office. "Hey guys whatcha up to?"
Carlos said, "Nothin' much Kate, board games, cards, different stuff."
"Can Brent and I join you?"
"Sure"
"Great what are we going to play?"
"Hmm we were thinking 'Sorry'."
"Sounds fun CK." We were all having a lot of fun, and we have been playing for an hour and were on our second game. I had two of my guys home, CK had three, both Bella and Lori had two, which I thought was weird them being twins and all, and Jake and Brent had one. All of us had all of our pieces around the board. It was my turn next and I picked up a card and it was a 'sorry card'. "Sorry" and I decided to bump Brent back to the start position.
"HEY! Kate that's not fair!"
Then CK backed me up and said, "Hey kiddo, that move was 100% fair."
"I don't care if it's fair."
"Brent what'd you want me to do let you win?"
"Something like that."
"Well I'm sorry but that's not the rules of the game."
"Well shit."
"Brent stop before we get into trouble."
"Fuck you, you're not the boss of me," then he smashed the game to the floor.
"Brent I'm warning you."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I just don't want to get in trouble," and I pushed him to the ground and he landed hard on his butt. A second later he was to his feet and he lunged at my waist. I'm not sure who said it but someone yelled, "ABBY GET IN HERE!" When she entered the room she yelled, "ENOUGH!" and she walked over to us and picked us up by the ears "OWOWOW." Spartan followed us as we were dragged into the elevator. The door dinged as we arrived at the bullpen. Abby, who still had a hold of our ears, marched us over to our dad's desk.
"What did you do Kate?" Abby finally let go of our ears.
"Dad why do you always expect if anything goes wrong it's me?" he cocked an eyebrow and Abby said, "Well I heard a few bad words exchanged." My dad looked at me, "Dad I swear it wasn't me." Then Abby continued, "And when Carlos called me into the room these two were rolling on the floor fighting."
"Thanks Abs you can go and I'll handle this." After she left my dad said, "You two with me. Tony hold the fort and watch Spartan."
"On it boss," and he tied Spartan's leash to his desk so he wouldn't follow me.
We followed our dad to one of the interrogation rooms and we were led inside. "Sit" in order for us not to further ourselves in trouble we both sat, and he sat across from us. "You two are in a lot of trouble."
"Why is that dad?" Brent asked sarcastically.
"You know damn well why, you swore, and you two were fighting after I told you not to."
"Sorry sir," I said
"Do you have anything to say Brent?"
"Ya sorry"
"Alright, Brent wait outside the door, and my advice to you is to be there when I come get you." He left the room and shut the door. "Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs I am very disappointed in you."
"I'm sorry dad, I tried to stop him."
"And that resulted in fighting?"
"Yes, at the time it seemed like the only way."
"Well it wasn't, if he is doing something naught you tell me or mom, or whoever your with, and we'll handle it, understand?"
"Yes sir I understand."
"Now come here," I stood up and removed my pants. I knew I would lose them so I didn't want to be asked to remove them. I walked over to him and laid myself over his lap and he pulled my underwear down and then SMACK he let his hand fall. SMACK "You do not" SMACK SMACK "Start fights with" SMACK SMACK "Your brother he" SMACK SMACK "Is a part of this family now." SMACK SMACK "I-I-am sor-rry da-addy" he stopped spanking me and rubbed circles in my back then he stood me up and I straightened my pants. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I kissed his cheek "Sorry dad."
"Alright kiddo I want you sitting, yes sitting outside the door while I deal with your brother."
"Ok sir," when we opened the door Tony was standing across from the door, "Tony what are you doing here?" my dad asked.
"Well I caught Brent wandering around."
"You did, did you? Well I'll just add that to the list of consequences." I slid down the wall slowly and when my butt finally hit the ground I winced.
"Hey boss want me to watch Caitlyn?"
"No you go back to work she knows what will happen if she moves."
"Ok boss."
BRENT POV
My dad brought me into the room, and shut the door and told me to sit which I did. He sat across from me and then said, "Brent Pacci Gibbs you need to learn to listen to me."
"Ok I will do it."
"That means when I say don't swear, you don't swear, when I say come you come, and when I say stay you stay. And if you don't then you will just end up here again. Now come here."
"I think I'll pass," he didn't even hesitate he grabbed my arm and pulled me over his lap and landed ten smacks to my backside. He sat me back down, my eyes were wet with tears.
"I'm not joking Brent."
"I'm sorry dad, sometimes I can't control the words that come out of my mouth."
"I know kiddo, that's why I'm here to help. Let's get this over with. "
"But dad you already spanked me."
"For talking back to me not for swearing, fighting, and running when I told you to stay."
"Ok sir," he stood me up and tugged my pants down and draped me over his lap and tugged my underwear down. SMACK "You will not" SMACK SMACK "Start fights" SMACK SMACK "With you sister" SMACK SMACK I started to wiggle and I was crying but it seemed like he didn't even acknowledge me "No swearing" SMACK SMACK "No running" SMACK SMACK "And you will" SMACK "Listen to me" SMACK SMACK SMACK "Da-addy sto-op pla-ease." He stopped spanking me and rubbed circles on my back and he pulled my underwear and pants up and wrapped me in a hug and set me on his lap and called Kate in.
KATE POV
I walked in and shut the door and I walked over and climbed up on to his unoccupied leg. We both rested our heads on his shoulders. He rocked us back and forth while he sang, "Belleau Wood" by Garth Brooks, to us.
Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence
Over Belleau Wood that night
For a Christmas truce had been declared
By both sides of the fight
As we lay there in our trenches
The silence broke in two
By a German soldier singing
A song that we all knew
Though I did not know the language
The song was "Silent Night"
Then I heard my buddy whisper,
"All is calm and all is bright"
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong
But I stood up in my trench
And I began to sing along
Then across the frozen battlefield
Another's voice joined in
Until one by one each man became
A singer of the hymn
Then I thought that I was dreaming
For right there in my sight
Stood the German soldier
'Neath the falling flakes of white
And he raised his hand and smiled at me
As if he seemed to say
Here's hoping we both live
To see us find a better way
Then the devil's clock struck midnight
And the skies lit up again
And the battlefield where heaven stood
Was blown to hell again
But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's just beyond the fear
No, heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's for us to find it here

Thanks for the reviews. Keep on reviewing they're appreciated.
When he finished with the song he said, "Alright now you two I need to get back to work so I want to take Spartan and go up to mom's office."
Then Brent said, "Dad doesn't she have work to do too?"
"Brent don't make me spank you again, this time for sarcasm, and can't you just do as you're told without back talking."
"Sorry but I'm good."
"Ok come on," he took both of our hands and we grabbed Spartan and we were brought to mom's office. We entered her office and shut the door, "Hey kids, Jethro what's up?"
"Nothing Jen, just some miscommunication."
"Ok Jethro."
"See you guys later, and don't let me get called up here because I will not be happy."
"Understood" "Yes sir" when he left we both sat wincing and we started patting Spartan. "I'm sorry I got you in trouble Kate."
"It's ok, just don't do it again because I don't think my butt could take it."
He chuckled, "Me neither." We started to roll ball back and forth and Spartan was chasing it and bouncing around. We were having so much fun. "Hey kids do you want to go grab some lunch?"
Then I said, "Hey mom can we go to Papa Ginos?"
"Sure hon, let's just go tell dad." We left Spartan in the playpen and we walked down to the squad room. We walked over to my dad's desk and he said, "What did the do now, Jen?"
"Nothing Jethro, we were just going to Papa Ginos fo lunch we'll be back in about an hour and a half."
"Ok hon do you mind if you pick up a pizza for the team?"
"Sure anything particular?"
"Guys?"
Tim and Ziva said, "Cheese"
Tony said, "Could you get me a small pizza pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese."
"I'll see what i can do Tony."
"Thanks," we walked down to the car and Brent and I got in the back, I don't mind though because my parents don't like when younger kids sit in the front, its a safety thing. My mom got in and we drove ten minutes to Papa Ginos. When we got there mom parked and we went inside. "Do you kids know what you want?"
"Breadsticks" we both said and we looked at each other and grinned.
"Next" the cashier said.
We walked up to the cashier and ordered a large breadsticks, a large cheese pizza, a small pepperoni, sausage, and extra cheese for Uncle Tony, and a salad for my mom. We sat down in a booth and started to eat. I sat down with Brent on one side and my mom sat across from us. "So Brent how do you like it here so far?"
"Its great mom" then he looked around and put a hand on the side of his mouth then whispered "Asides from getting spanked."
She chuckled, "Well if you stay out of trouble and that wont happen." She reached over and ruffled his hair.
"Ya how do you think feel, I got one too for trying to keep you out of trouble."
"I know I said I was sorry."
"I was just sayin'."
"Kids please stop arguing."
"Sorry mom" we both said in unison. We finished eating and grabbed the pizzas, which they so kindly kept heated. We went out to the car and drove to N.C.I.S. When we got there we rode up to the bullpen and gave the pizza to my dad and one to Tony. "Thanks hon."
"No problem Jethro. you want me to take the kids back up to my office?"
"Yes Jen i am trying to keep them out of trouble."
"Alright Jethro," and she kissed his cheek. When we entered the room I went over to the playpen and picked up Spartan and cuddled him. I set him on the floor and we both winced when we sat.
"Mom can i go see Carlos?"
"No Kate"
"Can he come up here?"
"Kate do I have to call your father?"
"No ma'm"
"Anyway you'll see him tomorrow."
"Kate let's just play here we were having so much fun before."
"Ok squirt," and we started to roll the ball back and forth like we were doing before. "So Brent what do you like?"
"Well I like sports, Batman, swimming, reading, anything really, what about you?"
"I like riding horses, Superman, swimming, reading, anything like you."
"Thats cool"
"Thanks," after that we had a conversation here and there until my dad came in to take us all home at six. We all piled in the car and drove home. when we got home we had Spaghetti and Meatballs and we got in our pajamas and we watched Wall-E. My parents were sitting on the couch. I had my head resting on my dad's lap and Brent was sitting on mom's lap. The movie got over around ten and I was wide awake, and Brent was fast asleep. Then my dad said, "Alright kiddo time for bed."
"But dad I'm not even tired."
"Caitlyn" he warned
"Ok I'll go, jeeze," at which point he spun me around and landed a solid smack to my still burning butt, "Ow! sorry daddy."
He nodded, "Ok git going." My dad followed me upstairs, holding Brent, and my mom was behind him. After my dad and mom tucked Brent in, they came into mine. I got into bed and they came over and my dad tucked me in and they both kissed my forehead. "Night mom, night dad."
"Night kiddo" "Night sweetie" my dad shut off the lights and Spartan nestled in the crook of my arm.

Thank you for the reviews keep 'em coming.
When I woke up the next morning the sting in my butt was slowly fading. It was 0730 and i pulled on some jeans, a tee shirt, and i scooped Spartan up. I tiptoed out of my room and into Brent's room. I set Spartan on the bed and he walked up to his face and started to lick it and Brent rolled over on his back and his eyes shot open and he rolled back onto his stomach and said, "Ow" in a muffled, sleepy voice.
"I'll be right back," i left the room and when I came back in I threw something on his bed."
"Whats this Kate?"
"Lotion"
"Why do I need lotion?"
"Trust me I've been there before, squirt, i know how you feel, this helps a little."
"Oh thanks Kat," aww he came up with a nickname for me.
"Anytime, now come on lets eat."
"Sure, but can you give me a minute?" he said with the bottle of lotion in his hand.
"Sure," Spartan and I waited outside the door for him. When he came out we walked downstairs to find our parents sitting in two chairs across from one another. The other two chairs, that were across from one another had pillows on them. I fed Spartan and let him out and we sat down and ate breakfast. After we finished we packed our "gear" and left for N.C.I.S. When we got there we went up to the bullpen and Uncle Timmy was the only one there. I went over to him and said, "Uncle Timmy, where are Auntie Ziva and Uncle Tony?"
Then my dad said, "Ya McGee where are they?"
"Well boss they're stuck in traffic."
Then I said, "Why doesn't Ziva just drive over them?" My dad put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed.
"Well boss they should be here in a while."
"How longs a while McGee?"
"I don't know boss, does it look like I'm the person that does traffic reports?" But that comment got him a hard slap to the back of the head. "OW!"
I turned to Brent and said, "You'll see that a lot."
My mom already went up to her office and my dad said, "Alright lets go to Abby's lab." When we got there my dad said, "Please behave," and he kissed both of our heads and ruffled the hair on Spartans head and he left.
"Hey Auntie Abby where are Bella, Lori, and Sarah?"
"In my office," we started to leave and she said, "Kate, Brent behave because if I get called in there i wont wait for your dad." We both gulped at the threat then went into her office. Sarah was sitting at Abby's desk reading a book with her feet up, by Sara Shepard called "Pretty Little Liars." Bella and Lori were playing a game called Snakes and Ladders. When they saw us Bella said "Where are..."
"...Carlos and Jake?"
"They are stuck in traffic. You guys have to stop doing that."
"Doing what..."
"...Kate?"
"That"
"What?" They both said.
"Oh never mind." At ten after playing a few games Tony came down holding Jake and CK was in tow behind him. After he set Jake down he kissed both boys heads and said, "Behave," and he left. I took Carlos to the corner and we sat, and he winced and I said, "Traffic huh," he shrugged, "What'd you do now?"
"Well there was a Brad Paisley concert in town last night, so I snuck out last night after my parents said I couldn't go..."
"Why couldn't you go?"
"I didn't have anyone to go with. And my parents don't like it when I go places like that alone."
"You could've asked me. I love Brad Paisley."
"Well I didn't know that, next time. Anyway I snuck in through my bedroom window at three this morning. I turned on my lights and turned around and my parents were sitting on the bed and my dad was like where you been boy and I replied out. I got a few swats for that remark. My mom eventually got me to talk by coming over to me and squeezing my earlobes. Sometimes her approach can be very effective so keep in mind never lie to her or piss her off."
"Will do"
"So after that, my ears couldn't take it anymore and I told them. My dad asked my mom to leave and he gave me the belt."
"Ouch sorry"
"Ya me too," I gave him a sympathy hug and kissed his cheek causing him to blush.
"Was it worth it?"
"Ya I wouldn't change it if my life depended on it."
"Or your butt," he chuckled and i was staring into his big, brown, beautiful eyes when I was distracted by a loud crash, I mean way to ruin the moment. We looked over and Brent was on the ground and all of Abby's CD's, that Abby keeps neatly organized on a CD rack, were all scattered on the floor around him. We rushed over as soon as Abby rushed in. "Brent what'd you do?" She gasped when she saw the scene.
"I tripped and fell Auntie, my wrist hurts."
"Well that's not the only thing that's going to hurt. I had these alphabetized by band."
"Sorry Abby but my left wrist really hurts." She helped him up by his right arm. "Owwww Abby," she smacked him on the butt "What was that for?"
"My CD's not let me see your wrist."he was now cradling his wrist and he shook his head. "Brent Pacci Gibbs show me your wrist this instant," he held his wrist out to her. "Don't touch it!"
"I'm just going to look," she examined his wrist,"it looks sprained, we need to go see Ducky," she picked him up and I said, "Auntie Abby we could stay here."
She laughed, "That's funny Kate are you sure you want to be a Forensic Scientist because you'd make a great comedian."
"HaHa" I laughed sarcastically but we followed her down to Autopsy. Ducky was standing there "What happened my dear boy?"
"My wrist Abby thinks it spranged."
"Alright son lets take a look," he picked Brent up and set him on the table, "yep it looks sprained. I'm gonna put it in a cast, what color do you like?"
"Neon green!"
"Well I think that can be arranged."
All six of us were standing in a row and Abby was with Brent who was still sitting on the table. My mom and dad walked through the doors and when they saw us my dad said, "Well isn't this a guilty site." My mom went over and hugged Brent who was now in a neon green cast. Then my dad said, "Alright Abby take the kids back to the lab I'll be down later to ask what happened." She nodded and led the way out of autopsy and everyone followed in a line, me being last. I was about halfway out the door when my dad said, "Not you."
I thought about running but that would only result in me being turned over my dad's knee. I turned around and said,"Dad before you say anything I didn't see him fall." My mom walked over to me and spun me around and landed a smack to my backside, "OW! mom what was that for?" I said rubbing my butt.
"Not watching your brother."
"Mom I cant watch him every waking second of the day."
"Caitlyn change that tone with your mother now apologize."
"But dad its true." He took off and rushed over to me. I ran one way so there was a table between us. "Caitlyn Leigh you get over here right now and apologize to you mother. I shook my head, "No your gonna smack me."
He cocked an eyebrow, "Caitlyn one... two..."
I was at his feet in seconds and he spun me around and landed a dozen smacks to my backside, "Now say your sorry."
My eyes were wet with tears, "S-sorry m-mom-my" and I gave her a hug.
"Its ok baby," and she ran her fingers through my hair.
"Now Caitlyn why weren't you watching your brother?"
"I was talking with Carlos dad."
"It seems like that every time there's trouble you two are involved some how, well I'm going to the lab to get everyones story."
"Daddy please don't spank them."
"Don't worry they all know what happens if they lie to me."

GIBBS POV
The nerve of that girl, first she doesn't watch her brother and he injures himself, then she runs and has a bad attitude towards he mother. If I have to spank her everyday I will. I entered the lab and I saw everyone sitting in chairs and Abby had here back to me "Hi Gibbs," and she turned around.
"Abby I'm going to talk with everyone to get there stories straight."
"Fine by me, my silver haired fox." I grinned our pet name.
"Ok Abbs" and I kissed her cheek. "Carlos with me."
"Uncle Gibbs can't we just talk in here?" I just gave him a stare which made him cringe, "Ok...ok I'm coming." When he got within arms reach I grabbed his elbow and dragged him to the interrogation room. We went in and I shut the door. I sat him down and I sat across from him. "You gonna spank me?"
"That depends"
"On what!"
"Your attitude"
"I'm sorry uncle Gibbs."
"Ok, now did you see anything?"
"No sir, I was talking to Kate but Bella and Lori were with him so talk to them."
"And i will but right now I'm talking to you."
"Ya and like I told you before I was talking to your daughter."
"Why are you so interested in her?"
"I like her, and I want to marry her someday."
"Like thats going to happen, get your mind out of the gutter boy."
"You can't tell me who I can and can't date sir besides we already consider ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend,and i love her."
"She's my daughter..."
"So"
"Carlos loose the attitude, and I have a say in this."
"I don't think you do."
"Carlos Kennedy I do and thats final. I'm done talking about it."
"Well I'm fucking not."
"That little boy was the final straw, come here"
"No thanks I'm good."
"Carlos Kennedy DiNozzo you either come here willingly or physically your choice."
"Sorry but I'm gonna go, see you later Uncle Gibbs." Now I was pissed this whole conversation he had a bad attitude and he refused to listen to me. he got about halfway to the door when I grabbed his arm and spun him around and smacked him a dozen times. Then I brought him over to a chair and I sat down and deposited him over my lap. I pulled his pants down which were immediately followed by his boxers. The only reason I am not using the belt is I know for a fact he got it this morning. But I proceeded and brought my hand down with a sharp SMACK" "OW! uncle Gibbs not... smack... so hard... smack... You are not... smack... to swear... smack... at me and... smack... you... smack... are to... smack... change... smack... your... smack... attitude... smack... understand? Y-yes s-sir... smack... smack... smack... smack." I fixed his pants and set him on my lap. "I'm s-s-sorry U-uncle G-Gibbs." I ran my fingers through his gelled, spiky hair.
"Its ok son just don't do it again."
"I-I w-wont s-sir."
"You never did let me finish."
"S-sorry."
"Like i said before she is my daughter, and I never said you couldn't see her,... as a friend."
"But..."
"No buts CK, we are more like family, then anything more and wouldn't it be weird to date your cousin?"
"Ya I guess so" I ruffled his hair "Ok I'm gonna talk with your brother next."
"Ok but can you interview him with Sarah? I don't think they saw anything."
"Sure, come on," he followed me back to Abby's lab and Abby said, "Sit down, Carlos."
"No thanks I'll stand," I leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Unless you want to have another discussion right here, right now I suggest you take a seat." he said, "Yes sir," and he sat wincing in the process. "Jake, Sarah with me." Jake came over and lifted his arms and I picked him up and said, "Come on Sarah." We went into the room and I shut the door. I sat across from the two and said, "So did you two see anything?"
Sarah was the first to speak, "No sir," which was immediately followed by a, "No Unca 'ibbs," from Jake.
"What were you two doing when he hurt himself?"
"Well sir I was reading."
"Sarah call me Gibbs or uncle Gibbs."
"Ok Gibbs," and she smiled. Then I turned to Jake and said, "And you Jed," I call him this sometimes at a nickname because it is his initials Jacob Elijah DiNozzo. "What were you doing at the time?"
"I'z pwayin wif Spartan."
"Speaking of which where is he?"
"Um Auntie Abby broughts hims upstairs in playpen."
"Ok i see you guys didn't see anything come on lets go back," I picked up Jake and Sarah walked back following me to the lab. When we went inside Sarah took a seat next to Carlos, who was fidgeting on his seat, and Abby took Jake on her lap. Then I turned to Bella and Lori and said, "You two with me." We all went to the interrogation room and shut the door and sat down. I knew this was going to be a difficult interview because even though Bella and Lori are twins they have two totally different personalities. Lori has a more mellow attitude and Bella has the more upbeat and spunky attitude. Bella usually gets into more trouble than Lori. "So what happened?"
"I don't..."
"Isabella don't lie to me." I knew this was a harder approach so I went for the 'weaker link' because that always works. "Oh Loreli."
"Yes Uncle Gibbs."
"Would you like to tell me what happened?"
"Um...no" at this point it went silent and I just stared into her eyes because she usually spilled her guts whenever I did this. Five minutes passed and she said, "Ok Ok" but Bella signed "don't" "Well I don't want to get in trouble" Then I signed, "That sounds like a good idea." They just looked at me and I said, "Have you forgotten that I know how to sign as well?" They both nodded and I said, "So Loreli Bracha McGee..." The meaning behind Lori's middle name. Since Ziva has come to this agency Abby and her have become best friends. So when the twins were born Abby and Tim asked Tony and Ziva to be the godparents of Lori as Jenny and I were asked for Bella. Well Abby couldn't decide on a middle name for Lori so she asked Ziva, and Ziva thought of Bracha which in Hebrew means a blessing, which she is. "What happened?"
Lori looked at me and started to twiddle her thumbs and said, "Well , he did trip..."
"And?" She looked around and I snapped my fingers "Loreli focus."
"Sorry sir he might have had a little help." She made a nodding motion to Bella, and she elbowed Lori in the side causing her to gasp.
"Isabella don't elbow your sister, so Lori he might have or did?"
"He did ok, Bella pushed him."
"Isabella Andromeda McGee," in case you didn't know Andromeda means ruler of man in Greek and it fits her personality well. "Why did you push Brent?"
"Truthfully he was pissing me off."
I gave a warning, "Isabella."
"I'm sorry sir but he was, he kept going on and on talking up a storm I told him nicely at first to stop," I cocked an eyebrow. "What I did. Then he started arguing with me and I couldn't take it anymore so I pushed him. I didn't mean to hurt him."
"But you did, Lori step out for a bit I'm going to talk with your sister alone."
"But..."
"No buts Loreli, and stay put." Everyone knew what was going to happen next.

Thank you for the reviews please review I want to know how I'm doing and ideas are welcomed.
When Lori left, Bella looked at me and said, "Are you gonna spank me, Uncle Gibbs?"
"What do you think?"
Flashback
The first time I had to spank Bella was when she was a little older than five. Abby and Tim were on vacation for there anniversary. Jenny and I were asked to watch Bella and Lori for the week, which we gladly accepted. I set up the television with the cartoon Carebears for the twins to watch while Jenny and I made breakfast. Everything was fine but it was quiet, too quiet. I thought that was strange though, there was no fighting, no bickering between siblings, it was just to quiet. When I entered the family room Bella was nowhere to be seen. "Loreli where is your sister,"
She looked around and said, "I 'ont no" with a shrug. Jenny and I stopped making breakfast, but I told Jenny to continue and watch Lori, that I'd find her. I walked upstairs and found her in our bedroom, and I couldn't believe my eyes. I don't know how but she had gotten on top of our dresser. Our dresser isn't small it stands about four and a half feet of the ground, and the top of it is wide enough to sit on. All the doors in the dresser were open so she must have climbed up that way. She was just sitting there going through Jenny's make up case applying lipstick all over her face. I shut the door and at the same time shouted, "HEY!" I must have scared her because she looked up and wobbled a bit but she caught her balance, but she hit the mirror behind her. I rushed over to her and grabbed her before the mirror fell forward and crashed to the ground. I brought her over to my bed and propped my leg up. Then I turned her over my knee and spanked her and after I set her on my lap while she cried and she said, "'m 'orry Unca 'ibbs." I replied "Its ok hon its over now and besides I never really liked that mirror anyway."
End of Flashback
"Yes I guess I deserve one."
"You guess?"
"Alright, alright I do deserve one. I shouldn't of..."
"Have"
"Sorry shouldn't have pushed him."
"That's right now come here, and lose the pants." Bella is more of a tomboy than Lori. Bella is a pants and tee type of gal, where Lori is more of a skirt and dress type of gal.
"But..."
"No buts Isabella, don't make me come get you." She glared at me, "Isabella last chance, and stop with that attitude."
"Ok" she walked over to me and dropped her pants and laid across my lap. I already lectured her and I'm pretty sure she knew what she did was wrong so I just began. I only brought my hand down twenty times and after I was done I pulled up her pants and set her on my lap and she cried then said, "I-I'm s-sorry, um ca-an y-you si-ing m-me a s-song?"
"Its ok Bells, which one do you want?"
"Darryl Worley's song, Have you forgotten."
"Good choice." I rocked her back and forth while I sang."
I hear people sayin'. We Don't need this war.
I say there's some things worth fightin' for.
What about our freedom, and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.
They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in
Before you start preachin' let me ask you this my friend.
Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten, when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell
And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
You took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbin for you and me
It'll just breed anger is what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country just out lookin' for a fight
Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say right.
Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin' through a livin' hell
And we vow to get the ones behind Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
you can bet they remember just what they're fightin' for
Have you forgotten
All the people killed
Yes some went down like heroes
In that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten
About our Pentagon
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
After the song I put her on the ground and we walked out of the interrogation room hand in hand. Lori was still there sitting by the door, I put out my other hand and helped her up and the three of us walked back, hand in hand, to their mom's lab.
