"Put me down, mom." I ignored him and walked down the stairs. When we got downstairs I set Brent on the grown, holding on to his wrist. I walked, pulling him, over to Jethro's workbench and sat on his stool. "Now Brent, look at me," his eyes met mine, "now tell mommy what you did wrong."
"Um I-I g-g-got in-in t-to an ar-argument," Apparently he had just so conveniently formed a what would you call it a sympathy stutter. "And?"
I-I sw-swore, b-b-but y-you ca-cant sp-spank m-m-me..."
"Why is that?"
"C-cause y-you're a-a g-girl."
I chuckled, "What difference does that make?"
"D-dad's m-m-more of the d-disaplinor y-you ar-are the one wh-who l-loves a-and cares f-for us."
"Oh sweetie I still love you and so does your father, I did tell you not to start an argument now why did you?"
"W-w-well K-Kate k-kept beating m-me at th-the g-game."
"Well honey you cant act that way if you don't like what is happening in the game don't play it. Now I am sorry but you and I both know your father wouldn't have let this slide, so I am going to spank you." He widened his eyes and shook his head his jet black locks covering his eyes. I brushed his them away, "I am sorry son but this has to be done."
"C-can I k-keep my p-pants up?"
"What do you think?"
"N-no..."
"Right, but I will let you keep your underwear up."
"Ok m-m-mommy," Oh great the combination of the mommy with those puppy dog eyes I almost choked then. It seems like whenever he calls me mommy like that and with those eyes it is quiet and he is guilty he is truly sorry. But I had to follow through. I unbuttoned his pants and pulled them them to his knees, then I pulled him over my lap and my hand came down and landed in the middle of his giant batman logo on his underwear. "OW! mom... SMACK... SMACK... Owwie... SMACK... st-stop... SMACK... pl-please SMACK SMACK... I-I s-sorry... SMACK... I w-wont do it again SMACK SMACK." I stopped and pulled up his pants and settled him on my lap and I brushed his tears away and I pushed his cobalt locks behind his ears, "Hush baby boy you are alright now."
"I-I'm s-s-sorry m-mama."
"I, know you are honey and I know you wont do it again, right?"
"I-I'll t-try m-mama."
"Ok baby boy would you like me to sing to you?" he nodded against my shoulder. So I rocked him back and forth while I sang 'The House that Built Me,' by Miranda Lambert.
I know they say you cant go home again.
I just had to come back one last time.
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam.
But these hand-prints on the front steps are mine.
And up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar.
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I'm someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself
if I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
Won?t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.
From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazines.
Plans were drawn, concrete poured,
and nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dream.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it

Out here its like I'm someone else,

If I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
Won't take nothing but a memory

You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I'm someone else,

If I could walk around I swear I'll leave.

I listened to his breathing go from short ragged breaths to relaxed breathing. I looked down at him and noticed he was fast asleep, I stood up and carried him up to his room, I got him dressed in his Batman pajamas and I settled him on in stomach under the covers of his bat-mobile bed. I kissed his forehead and shut the lights off and shut the door and I left his room to go to bed myself.
KATE POV
At 0215 I woke up to the sound of someone entering the front door and shutting it. I quietly got out of my sleeping bag on the floor, I let Seamus take my bed him being a guest and all. I quietly tiptoed over to my bedroom door and quietly opened it, and I quietly shut it behind me as I entered the dark hallway. I tiptoed over to the stairs and walked down them avoiding every single squeaky floor board. I followed the little light that shown all the way down to the kitchen. I leaned against the frame of the entry of the kitchen, as I watched my dad open the refrigerator and grab a bottle of water and shut the fridge again. "You arrest the guy?"
My dad spun around his eyes like daggers, "Young lady aren't you supposed to be in bed? Why are you down here?"
"Um... yes and I came down for um... a... drink."
"Caitlyn do not lie to me," he whispered firmly.
"Oh ok I heard you come home and I came down to see you, where's Mrs. O'Neil?"
"Guest room, but Caitlyn you know you have school in a few hours right?"
"Um... no"
"Caitlyn," he warned
"Ok daddy, I know I have school."
"Where is Seamus?"
"Asleep in my room, I am on the floor, I let him take the bed."
"Good girl come on you can take the small couch in my bedroom"
"Ok daddy," He finished his water and he came over and picked me up. I snuggled close to him and he carried me up to his room and placed me on the little couch with a pillow. He placed a blanket on me, "Good night daddy."
He kissed my forehead, "Good night my little angel, sweet dreams."

The next morning Seamus, Brent, and I were eating breakfast before my mom drove us to school, all of us were already dressed, Seamus being small in size borrowed some of Brent's clothes. My mom walked into the room, "Come on kids we do not want to be late."
"Mrs Gibbs?"
"Yes honey."
"Where is my mother?"
"Oh she had to go to N.C.I.S. with Mr. Gibbs to finish doing some paperwork, she will be there after school. Now come on you three, hurry up we have to go." Ten minutes later we finished eating, and I grabbed Spartan and all of us went out to the car and my mom drove us to school. When we got to school we got out of the car and my mom said, "Alright have a good day at school you three. Kate and Brent please behave today and we want the three of you to come to N.C.I.S. right after school today."
"Bye mommy" "Bye mom" "Thank you Mrs. Gibbs" After she drove off the three of us walked inside, and Brent went to his classroom on the first floor and Seamus and I walked upstairs to our classroom. We entered our classroom with ten minutes to spare, when we entered Miss. Lee was sitting in the front of the room at her desk, "Good morning Seamus, Good morning Kate."
"Good morning Miss Lee" Good morning Michelle..." Everyone stared at me she looked up at me, "Kate remember what I told you."
Oh man that just slipped out, on one hand I do not want to get in to trouble but on the other hand I like to cause trouble and kids think I'm cool, oh well know turning back now, "I remember... Michelle."
"Caitlyn..."
Michelle?" The kids in the classroom were now starting to crack up.
"Caitlyn, Hall Now!"
"Ok Michelle, "I winked at Seamus as I followed her out to the hallway she shut the door as I leaned against the wall. She knelt down in front of me, "Now Caitlyn do I need to call your father? because I have him on speed dial."
I shook my head, "No ma'am but why do you have my dad's number on speed dial?"
"Just in case I cant reach Jimmy in an emergency, and also if you get into trouble I can reach him fast."
"Oh ok I am sorry, this wont get back to my dad right?"
"Honey you know I cant promise that, just know more antics today, alright?"
"Ok I promise," I smiled at her and she smiled back.
The rest of the school day went fine, Seamus and I were paired together for reading, we ate lunch together, we hung out at recess, then we were paired together again for a math exercise. Only bad part was homework... yuck. After class when the bell rang Seamus and I went downstairs and picked Brent and Dani up at their class, and I introduced Seamus to Danica. We went outside to meet everyone. The gang was all at our meeting place, we walked over to them and CK winked at me, only on account that Brent becomes like the hulk when he sees us acting all mushy, I smiled back, "Hey guys this is Seamus he is going to walk with us today. Seamus you already know myself, Brent and Dani, but the rest of them are Carlos, the twins Bella and Lori and Jake."
"Nice to meet all of you."
"Likewise," they all replied.
We arrived at N.C.I.S. right on schedule, we dropped the twins off at Auntie Abby's lab, then the rest of us got off at the bullpen. Seamus, Brent, and I walked over to my dad's desk, "Hey kids," we all said hi and Brent walked up to our mom's office. "Um sir?"
"Call me Gibbs, Seamus."
He smiled, "Well Gibbs where is my mom?"
"Home..."
"But..."
"Don't worry son, since we could not arrest your father your mom bought a house right across from ours so I can make sure he never bothers you again, is that ok?"
"Of course it is Gibbs," he smiled as did I.
"So anyway kids how was school?" my dad was looking right at me, "Good Gibbs" "Fine dad."
"Any homework?"
"Yes" "Nope"
"Kate," he warned.
"What why do you always assume its me? we do not have any homework."
"Seamus?"
"We do Gibbs," he pulled out our math homework and it said homework on it and it had today's date on it.
My dad stood up oh crap not a good sign, "Ok Seamus you can sit at my desk and start your homework I will check it for you after you finish if you'd like. I just need to talk to Kate. Come on Kate."
"No thank you siiir, as you clearly pointed out I have homework to do."
"Now Caitlyn," he glared at me "Ok Ok jeez I'll come." I saw his jaw clench. My dad was walking behind me and as soon as we rounded the corner he smacked me hard on the butt. I spun around, "Now whatcha go and do that for?"
"That attitude back there, I just didn't want to smack you in front of Seamus."
He grabbed my arm, "And I appreciate that, but it hurt."
"Supposed to," he stopped at the interrogation room.
Oh crap, "I know that dad," I looked at my 'fake watch' on my wrist, "Oh would you look at the time as much fun as this was I have to go." My dad must have been shocked because he let go of my arm I smirked as I turned around but before I took a step he grabbed the back of my jeans, "Not so fast Caitlyn."
"Come on dad let go."
"You going to run?"
"That depends."
"On?"
"Whether or not you let go."
He just lifted me up by the seat of my jeans, "Keep it up Caitlyn."
I crossed my arms as he toted me inside the interrogation room, "There has got to be a law against this."
"Nope" was the only word he said as the doors closed behind us.

My dad walked over and deposited me in a chair and I said, "Now what?"
He sat down across from me, "Nothing."
"Nothing," I said confused, "But I thought you were..."
"Mad at you? No, disappointed that you lied? Yes." I looked up at him nervously, "Don't worry I promise I wont spank you," I opened my mouth to speak. "If you don't have an attitude towards me," I immediately closed my mouth again, "So Caitlyn anything interesting happen at school today?" I opened my mouth to speak again, "Just remember your options Kate."
"Well I guess you already heard about me calling Ms Lee by her first name."
"Uh huh, after she told you to stop why did you continue?"
"I don't know dad, I kind of just went with the flow, I had to keep my cool. Did Jimmy tell you?"
"Yep," before he could say another word I stood up, and walked towards the door, "I'm going to kill that James Arnold Palmer!"
"Caitlyn sit down."
"No"
"Do I need to spank you?"
"Frankly my dear I just don't give a damn."
He was at my side in seconds and he smacked my butt hard three times, "Let's go DiNozzo."
"DiNozzo?"
"Yeah"
"Why him?"
"You are a spitting image," he grabbed my arm and we went back to the bullpen, "Hey DiNozzo where's Seamus?"
"Um boss CK and Jake took him down to the lab."
"Ok," my dad brought me over to his desk, "Tony take your daughter."
"Boss?" Tony looked down at me, "What did you do now hun?"
"None of your business."
"Come on Kate you know you can tell your godfather anything."
"Ok, I'll whisper it in your ear," he leaned in, "Closer" "Closer" and when he was close enough for me to whisper it in his ear I head slapped him, "I told you it was none of your business."
"Why you little..." he started to tickle me and I laughed then he settled me on his lap. "So what did she do boss?"
"Well I already told you about how Kate called her teacher by her first name, well she found out that Jimmy told me, and she stood up and said she was going to kill him, jokingly. Well I said did she want me to spank her after she refused to sit down. And you want to know what she said to me?"
Tony looked down at me "Sure what did she say to you boss?"
"She said, Frankly my dear I just don't give a damn."
Tony looked down at me and we both smiled, "Wow Kate," he high-fived me, " 'classic Gone with the Wind'"
"Hey DiNozzo don't encourage her."
"Sorry boss, hey Kate I have to drop something at the lab you want to come?"
"Yeah."
"Make sure she does her homework DiNozzo."
"Will do boss," I climbed of Uncle Tony's lap and he stood up and I stood up on his chair and climbed up on his back.
Before he gave me a piggy back ride down to the lab he grabbed my homework, then we headed off towards the elevator, and entered it and when it closed I said, "Uncle Tony I love you."
"Aww I love you too kiddo, and don't you ever forget that."
"My dad told you didn't he?"
"Told me what?"
"Uncle Tony don't you play dumb with me, he told you what my biological father and uncle did to me." He flipped the elevator switch off and he lifted me over his head and he placed me in front of him, then he got down on one knee and held me at arms length. "Yes your father told me what happened to you, honey, I am so sorry..."
"Don't apologize Uncle Tony, besides its all in the past now," my eyes filled with water, as did his, a single tear rolled down his cheek and I, with my thumb, brushed it away, "Please don't cry Uncle Tony," he embraced me in a hug, "you think he told the rest of the team?"
"Probably"
"Then do you think I could say with you?"
"Why?"
"Cause if he told Auntie Abby then she is going to act all weird and clingy."
"You'll be fine," we parted from our hug, and our tears dried and I climbed back on his back and he flipped the switch and we arrived at the lab. When we entered I slid off his back and was immediately attacked by Auntie Abby with a heart crushing hug, "Oh sweetie are you ok?"
"Yeah A-Abbs c-can't b-breath th-though," she let go and before Uncle Tony left he handed me my homework and said sternly, "Now Caitlyn I want you to sit you butt in the chair next to Abby and do your homework, because if you don't it'll be my butt, because your dad told me to make sure you do your homework. And if it is my butt I can assure you it will be your butt as well from me you understand me?"
But before I could answer Auntie Abby came to my rescue, "Anthony David DiNozzo," she punched him in the arm, "how can you speak to your god daughter that way knowing whats shes been through, seriously DiNozzo?" she hit him in the arm again.
Uncle Tony held her arms to her sides, "Now Abigail do I need to put you in the corner?" she shook her head, "Good, then make sure she does it," and with that he was gone. A minute late Spartan padded into the room, tail wagging. I picked him up and cuddled with him and placed him on the floor, I then went over and sat next to Auntie Abby, who was back at her computer and I started my homework. Well math is my strong subject so I was finished in fifteen minutes. After I had finished I had become really thirsty then I spotted Auntie Abby's Caf-Pow, "Hey Abbs can I have a sip of your Caf-Pow?"
"No"
"Please Auntie Abby, I am realllly thirsty."
"Caitlyn I said no, there is way to much caffine in there for a child of your age to be drinking, and besides your dad would kill me. I can get a water from the fridge for you."
"Ok," she went over to the fridge to grab a water, and when she had her back to me I grabbed her drink and took a few big sips. I think she knew something was up because she froze and spun around, "Caitlyn I said no!" she ran over to me and grabbed her drink and placed it on the counter and lifted me of the chair with a swat, then sent me to the corner with a sharp swat with a "Stay."
Five minutes later I could really start to feel the caffeine kicking in. "Abby how long do I have to stay here? I mean it was only a few sips. Can I come out please?"
"Caitlyn be quiet..."
"Why I just want to come out..."
"Well you shouldn't have taken a sip of my drink..."
"Well you shouldn't have left it in front of me, it was calling out to me..."
"Keep it up Caitlyn," and Abby knew this was only the beginning of the caffeine rush.
Suddenly I had the urge to run.
ABBY POV
I knew this was not good, Gibbs is gonna tan my ass for this, but it wasn't my fault I didn't make her drink my drink that was all her, and I already said she couldn't have it. I turned around and Caitlyn turned around as well facing me, "Caitlyn turn around."
"No don't wanna, I wanna do something cool, fun, retro, man I feel like running." Oh man not good I looked in my Caf-Pow. Oh shit she drank half of it. All of a sudden she started to run circles around my desk, "CAITLYN STOP!"
"No Abbs, come on its fun join in." Then all of a sudden CK ran in to the room, "Aww jeeze Abbs she is not one of your lab rats whatcha do to her?"
"First of all Carlos I would not and will never hurt and innocent animal and second of all she got into my Caf-Pow. Now before she does something stupid go and grab Gibbs."
"Yes ma'am," and he raced out of the room.
GIBBS POV
I was sitting at my desk, it had been a long case and the team and I were just writing up our reports when CK walked into the room. He ran over to my desk, "Um... Uncle Jethro..." he scrunched up his nose and I chuckled, "Yes what is it son?"
"Um you need to come down to the lab stat."
Suddenly my heart jumped, man I hope nothing bad happened and I know Brent is in Jenny's office so what did Kate do know? "Ok CK what is wrong."
"Nothing bad sir."
"Then what did Kate do?"
"Um... You need to see for yourself."
"Carlos..." I warned.
"Well lets just say Kate drank some of Abby's Caf-Pow and now she is really hyper and bouncing on the walls."
Crap! "Alright CK lets go," we walked towards the elevator, "Um Uncle Gibbs shouldn't we take the stairs? Abby says before she does something stupid, and they are a lot quicker."
"Good idea CK come on," he followed me down the stairs to the lab and before we entered the lab we heard a 'I made it ma, top of the world,' then a 'Caitlyn Leigh get down from there.'

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE REVIEWS PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING
My dad walked over and deposited me in a chair and I said, "Now what?"
He sat down across from me, "Nothing."
"Nothing," I said confused, "But I thought you were..."
"Mad at you? No, disappointed that you lied? Yes." I looked up at him nervously, "Don't worry I promise I wont spank you," I opened my mouth to speak. "If you don't have an attitude towards me," I immediately closed my mouth again, "So Caitlyn anything interesting happen at school today?" I opened my mouth to speak again, "Just remember your options Kate."
"Well I guess you already heard about me calling Ms Lee by her first name."
"Uh huh, after she told you to stop why did you continue?"
"I don't know dad, I kind of just went with the flow, I had to keep my cool. Did Jimmy tell you?"
"Yep," before he could say another word I stood up, and walked towards the door, "I'm going to kill that James Arnold Palmer!"
"Caitlyn sit down."
"No"
"Do I need to spank you?"
"Frankly my dear I just don't give a damn."
He was at my side in seconds and he smacked my butt hard three times, "Let's go DiNozzo."
"DiNozzo?"
"Yeah"
"Why him?"
"You are a spitting image," he grabbed my arm and we went back to the bullpen, "Hey DiNozzo where's Seamus?"
"Um boss CK and Jake took him down to the lab."
"Ok," my dad brought me over to his desk, "Tony take your daughter."
"Boss?" Tony looked down at me, "What did you do now hun?"
"None of your business."
"Come on Kate you know you can tell your godfather anything."
"Ok, I'll whisper it in your ear," he leaned in, "Closer" "Closer" and when he was close enough for me to whisper it in his ear I head slapped him, "I told you it was none of your business."
"Why you little..." he started to tickle me and I laughed then he settled me on his lap. "So what did she do boss?"
"Well I already told you about how Kate called her teacher by her first name, well she found out that Jimmy told me, and she stood up and said she was going to kill him, jokingly. Well I said did she want me to spank her after she refused to sit down. And you want to know what she said to me?"
Tony looked down at me "Sure what did she say to you boss?"
"She said, Frankly my dear I just don't give a damn."
Tony looked down at me and we both smiled, "Wow Kate," he high-fived me, " 'classic Gone with the Wind'"
"Hey DiNozzo don't encourage her."
"Sorry boss, hey Kate I have to drop something at the lab you want to come?"
"Yeah."
"Make sure she does her homework DiNozzo."
"Will do boss," I climbed of Uncle Tony's lap and he stood up and I stood up on his chair and climbed up on his back.
Before he gave me a piggy back ride down to the lab he grabbed my homework, then we headed off towards the elevator, and entered it and when it closed I said, "Uncle Tony I love you."
"Aww I love you too kiddo, and don't you ever forget that."
"My dad told you didn't he?"
"Told me what?"
"Uncle Tony don't you play dumb with me, he told you what my biological father and uncle did to me." He flipped the elevator switch off and he lifted me over his head and he placed me in front of him, then he got down on one knee and held me at arms length. "Yes your father told me what happened to you, honey, I am so sorry..."
"Don't apologize Uncle Tony, besides its all in the past now," my eyes filled with water, as did his, a single tear rolled down his cheek and I, with my thumb, brushed it away, "Please don't cry Uncle Tony," he embraced me in a hug, "you think he told the rest of the team?"
"Probably"
"Then do you think I could say with you?"
"Why?"
"Cause if he told Auntie Abby then she is going to act all weird and clingy."
"You'll be fine," we parted from our hug, and our tears dried and I climbed back on his back and he flipped the switch and we arrived at the lab. When we entered I slid off his back and was immediately attacked by Auntie Abby with a heart crushing hug, "Oh sweetie are you ok?"
"Yeah A-Abbs c-can't b-breath th-though," she let go and before Uncle Tony left he handed me my homework and said sternly, "Now Caitlyn I want you to sit you butt in the chair next to Abby and do your homework, because if you don't it'll be my butt, because your dad told me to make sure you do your homework. And if it is my butt I can assure you it will be your butt as well from me you understand me?"
But before I could answer Auntie Abby came to my rescue, "Anthony David DiNozzo," she punched him in the arm, "how can you speak to your god daughter that way knowing whats shes been through, seriously DiNozzo?" she hit him in the arm again.
Uncle Tony held her arms to her sides, "Now Abigail do I need to put you in the corner?" she shook her head, "Good, then make sure she does it," and with that he was gone. A minute late Spartan padded into the room, tail wagging. I picked him up and cuddled with him and placed him on the floor, I then went over and sat next to Auntie Abby, who was back at her computer and I started my homework. Well math is my strong subject so I was finished in fifteen minutes. After I had finished I had become really thirsty then I spotted Auntie Abby's Caf-Pow, "Hey Abbs can I have a sip of your Caf-Pow?"
"No"
"Please Auntie Abby, I am realllly thirsty."
"Caitlyn I said no, there is way to much caffine in there for a child of your age to be drinking, and besides your dad would kill me. I can get a water from the fridge for you."
"Ok," she went over to the fridge to grab a water, and when she had her back to me I grabbed her drink and took a few big sips. I think she knew something was up because she froze and spun around, "Caitlyn I said no!" she ran over to me and grabbed her drink and placed it on the counter and lifted me of the chair with a swat, then sent me to the corner with a sharp swat with a "Stay."
Five minutes later I could really start to feel the caffeine kicking in. "Abby how long do I have to stay here? I mean it was only a few sips. Can I come out please?"
"Caitlyn be quiet..."
"Why I just want to come out..."
"Well you shouldn't have taken a sip of my drink..."
"Well you shouldn't have left it in front of me, it was calling out to me..."
"Keep it up Caitlyn," and Abby knew this was only the beginning of the caffeine rush.
Suddenly I had the urge to run.
ABBY POV
I knew this was not good, Gibbs is gonna tan my ass for this, but it wasn't my fault I didn't make her drink my drink that was all her, and I already said she couldn't have it. I turned around and Caitlyn turned around as well facing me, "Caitlyn turn around."
"No don't wanna, I wanna do something cool, fun, retro, man I feel like running." Oh man not good I looked in my Caf-Pow. Oh shit she drank half of it. All of a sudden she started to run circles around my desk, "CAITLYN STOP!"
"No Abbs, come on its fun join in." Then all of a sudden CK ran in to the room, "Aww jeeze Abbs she is not one of your lab rats whatcha do to her?"
"First of all Carlos I would not and will never hurt and innocent animal and second of all she got into my Caf-Pow. Now before she does something stupid go and grab Gibbs."
"Yes ma'am," and he raced out of the room.

I was sitting at my desk, it had been a long case and the team and I were just writing up our reports when CK walked into the room. He ran over to my desk, "Um... Uncle Jethro..." he scrunched up his nose and I chuckled, "Yes what is it son?"
"Um you need to come down to the lab stat."
Suddenly my heart jumped, man I hope nothing bad happened and I know Brent is in Jenny's office so what did Kate do know? "Ok CK what is wrong."
"Nothing bad sir."
"Then what did Kate do?"

Chapter 78
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE REVIEWS PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING
I barged into the lab with CK close behind, at my heels. Kate was on top of Abby mass spectrometer and Abby was trying desperately to get her down. "CK go inside Auntie Abby's office and stay there with the others."
"But..."
"No buts, CK, now git," I lightly tapped his bottom to get him moving.
When he left the room I walked over to Abby, "I'm so sorry Gibbs, I only had my back turned for like a second, and she drank more than half of my Caf-Pow."
"Not your fault Abbs," I looked at my daughter "Caitlyn come down here please."
"Oh hi daddy! Why? I am up so high, there's room you wanna come up?"
"No honey I do not want to come up, and if I do I can assure you that you will not be happy."
"Aww come on dad lighten up," she didn't even acknowledge what I said, even Abby gasped and looked at me.
"Caitlyn get down here now, please," I tried to grab her but missed.
"Ok ok daddy I'll come down, but do you think if I were to do a Superman jump off here, would I hover and then fall or, would I just fall?"
She got ready to jump, "Caitlyn don't you even think about it." Then she jumped, and Abby gasped, thankfully I caught her mid flight. I tuned to Abby and embraced her in a hug and kissed her cheek, then I whispered in her ear, "Never let your guard down Abbs, thanks again Abbs I am going to take her to see Ducky."
"I don't need to see the Duck man," Kate said as we left the lab.
"Sorry kiddo not up for debate we are going."
"Then can I walk?"
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Please, please, please..." she started twisting in my arms.
"Ok Kate but I am holding your hand."
She took a while before replying with, "Fine," I set her on the ground and I grabbed her hand and she was in front of me pulling me a long, "Hey slow down kiddo."
"I don't wanna, come on," She dragged me into Autopsy, "Ah Jethro, Caitlyn, to what do I owe this visit?"
"Well I don't know Duck, she drank more than half of Abby's drink," I glared at her, "now she is overly hyper, talking a mile a minute, and acting very strange."
"Alright lets see, up on the table."
"But I don't wanna..."
"Caitlyn," Ducky warned
"Listen to Ducky, honey, he just wants to help," I said.
"Ok daddy," I smiled and set her on the cold , metal table. Ducky was checking her over, her eyes, her ears, her mouth, the whole enchilada. "So whats wrong with her, Duck?"
"Well Jethro this is going to sound kind of weird, but it looks like a form of caffeine intoxication..."
"But Ducky she didn't have that much..."
"Yes and in some rare cases they can affect people more seriously..."
"So what do I do Duck?"
"Don't give her caffeine," I chuckled, "but I can give her an IV to help this wear of quickly."
"Alright, whatever helps Duck."
"Alright Jethro you might want to hold her," I picked her up and sat down on the table and I set her on my lap, and I held her arms., "Alright Caitlyn here is a little pinch," Ducky put the IV in and as it entered she winced, I rubbed my thumbs up and down her arms to help sooth her. Ducky placed surgical tape over it so the IV would not come out easy, then Ducky handed me the bag "Alright, not Jethro, this will put some fluid in her system and it will also get rid of some of the caffeine in her body. And by good god Leroy Jethro Gibbs do not interrogate her until the caffeine is out of her system, or there will be consequences."
My daughter started to giggle, "Ya gonna spank him Ducky?"
I felt myself blush, "I just might my dear Caitlyn," he kissed her forehead. "Now bring her back when the bag is empty."
"Will do Duck," I picked her up and held the bag in hand, I'm taking her up to Jenny's office. As soon as we left she looked at me and laughed, I smiled, "What?"
"Ducky threatened ta spank ya."
"Yes I know, and he would, but we are going to talk as soon as the caffeine wears off and is out of your system."
" 'm k daddy." we arrived at Jenny's office, and as soon as she saw I was holding Kate, and I had an IV bag in hand, she was up out of her chair and to us in seconds, "What happened Jethro," she asked worriedly.
"Well, baby, she drank Abbs' Caf-Pow without permission and apparently, well according to Ducky, caffeine doesn't settle well with her, and now what she had is a rare form of caffeine intoxication. The IV is helping get rid of it." I walked over to the couch, that was under the coat hook, in Jenny's office and I placed Kate down, I hung the IV bag on the coat hook. I put a blanket on her and I put a pillow under her head. I knelt next to the couch and ran my fingers through her hair and I said, "Ok I have to go back to work sweetie," I kissed her forehead, "Try to get some rest and try not to move." I walked over and picked up Brent and hugged him, "Hey buddy."
"Hi dad," I kissed Jenny on the cheek, "Alright I'm going to take our little man to the bullpen call me when the bag is empty, so I can take her to see Ducky so he can remove the IV."
"Ok, I love you Jethro."
"I love you too Jenny," we kissed again, this time on the lips.
"Come on guys you're still in my line of vision." Brent scrunched up his nose.
"Jenny and I both chuckled, "Ok come on, son."
"Daddy I can walk."
"Sure you can... to my desk."
"Ok," I set him on the floor, and he ran out I shook my head, smiling, and I heard a distant "Hi Cynthea, bye Cynthea." as he ran down the stair. I eventually caught up with him and Brent was happily sitting on Agent McGee's lap. I smiled then I went to get some information out of our bouncy goth.
BRENT POV
"Uncle Timmy can I have a piece of paper?"
"Sure," he handed me a piece, "but why don't you want to go downstairs to the lab?"
"Don't know, I like spending time with you Uncle Timmy." He smiled and I heard Uncle Tony mutter, chuckling, "At least someone does."
I guess Uncle Timmy heard too because he said, "What is that suppose to mean DiNozzo?"
"Oh nothing Mr. McSensitive." Uncle Tony better watch his back. I'll get him back, before my dad gets back, of course. I slid off of Uncle Timmy's lap and I sat on the floor with my remote control car, a stack of papers, markers, different colored permanent markers, and rubber bands. Hmm what to do, what to do? I looked around the bull pen, with my eyes, and stopped at Uncle Tony's desk and oh man he had to wear his white shoes today. I was placing blank sheets of paper all around the floor from where I was sitting to around behind Uncle Tony's desk to back where I was sitting. I was going around to the different sheets of paper with my markers and I started drawing a race track. I went to the sheets of paper behind Uncle Tony's desk, "Whatcha doing kiddo?"
"Making a race track, don't peek."
"Ok I promise I wont." I smiled a fake smile. As soon as he went back to work, I brought the paper underneath his desk along with the red, yellow, and orange permanent markers. Uncle Tony promised me that he wouldn't look, and I trust that he wouldn't lie to me, so I was switching back and forth from drawing the halfway mark for my race track to drawing flames with the permanent markers on Uncle Tony's white shoes. True to his word, he didn't peek, I finished coloring in the flames and checkpoint on the paper and I crawled out from under his desk, "Hey buddy, you were under there for a long time what were you doing under there?"
"Just drawing the checkpoint, see" I held up the piece of paper.
"Nice drawing, kiddo."
"Thanks," when he went back to his work, I rolled my eyes, oh you just wait Uncle Tony like the saying goes paybacks a bitch. I finally finished, I went over to my remote controlled cars and was about to race them when Uncle Tony stood up and said, "I've got it guys." He walked towrds the screen and I didn't even hear what he said I just admired my handiwork. I looked up and Auntie Ziva and Uncle Timmy were smiling, "What guys? Do I have something on my face?" he wiped at his face.
"Then Auntie Ziva spoke, "No honey, but by the way I love your shoes."
He looked down at his shoes and immediately glared at me and my smile faded. "Brent Pacci Gibbs why did you do this to my shoes? Do you have any idea how much these costed me, it was like a fortune."
I stood up, "I didn't do anything to your stupid shoes."
"You didn't? You were the only one under my desk, explain that."
"Um... I want a lawyer."
"Ha doesn't work that way, now get over here," he pointed to a spot in front of him.
"No thanks I will take my chances in court," and I turned and ran.

Chapter 79
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS PLEASE REVIEW IT MEANS A LOT TO ME
I was running down the hall, maybe I will take my chances with the stairs, "Brent Stop!"
I looked behind me and replied " Come on Uncle Tony, now that you have flames you should be able to run faster..." Next thing I realized was that I was on the floor and my dad was helping me up, ohh curse my dad and his gut for taking the stairs today. Uncle Tony finally caught up with us, "DiNozzo why in the world are you chasing Brent around?"
"Just look at what he did to my shoes."
My father looked down and his smile faded, "Now Brent did you do that to your Uncles shoes?"
"Um... no," Well that did not work out as planned he turned me to my side and smacked me hard on the butt," Ow dad!" I put my hands back to protect me from any more onslaught.
My father got down on one knee in front of me and he put a hand on my shoulder, "I'm going to ask you one more time, Brent did you do that to Tony's shoes?"
"Yes sir, I did."
"Why?"
"Well Uncle Tony was bein mean, he said that I was the only person that liked spendin time with Uncle Timmy." My dad stood up and head slapped Tony causing him to yelp and me to grin. When my dad turned back around my smile faded, "Even though Tony said that, it does not give you the right to destroy his property. Now you better hope that washes off."
I could feel myself pale, "I-It d-doesn't."
"What do you mean, it doesn't"
"I-Its p-p-permanent." I saw my dad nod at Uncle Tony, crap not good. Tony then looked at me and said, "Come on Brent," I shook my head.
"Then my said said, "Young man you knew what you were getting yourself into, Now Go!" He smacked me on the butt sending me on my way I glared at him rubbing my butt. Uncle Tony grabbed my arm, tightly, and I tried, unsuccessfully, to pull out of his grip. "Now Brent if you don't stop I will pick you up," I dug my heals into the ground, "Ok that's it, "he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
"Come on Uncle Tony this is not fair, put me down."
"Young man you want to know whats not fair?" We entered the empty interrogation room and he shut the door and placed me in a chair then he sat down himself, "whats not fair is that you destroyed my white shoes."
"Well maybe you shouldn't have worn white shoes to work." I mumbled.
He ignored my smart ass comment, "These shoes cost me like two hundred bucks..."
"Well maybe you shouldn't have spent so much..." this time he did pull me out of my chair and smacked me on the butt then sat me back down.
"Now I want you to stop with that attitude, now I am sorry for what I said to Uncle Timmy but that does not make it ok for you to use permanent marker on my white shoes. If it were washable markers I wouldn't be as mad.
"I am really, really sorry Uncle Tony."
"I know you are kiddo but it doesn't deal with what you did."
I stood up, "Please Uncle Tony, please don't spank me."
"I'm sorry kiddo but it has to be done."
"Can I keep my pants up?"
"No but if you don't give me a hard time I will let you keep your underwear up." Well it wasn't a lot, but I'll take anything I can get right now. "Ok lets not drag this out any longer, come on." He grabbed my wrist and unbuttoned my pants and he placed me across his lap, he held me in place as my feet dangled and inch or two above the floor then he brought his hand down causing me to yelp. I was sobbing when the twelfth and final smack landed. He fixed my pants and lifted me onto his lap and embraced me in a hug, "I-I'm 'orry U-Uncle T-Tony."
"I know you are kiddo, and all if forgiven..."
"Um Uncle T?
"Yeah buddy?"
"Um from what my sister says you have a great voice..."
He smiled down at me, "And?"
"Well I was... um... wondering could you sing to me?"
"Of course I would love to sing to you. What did you have in mind?"
"Lets see do you know the song 'The Spirit of a Boy' by Randy Travis ?"
"Of course I do little man."
He was 16, tender and tough.
She was too, and he'd do anything to prove his love.
With so much riding on the choice at hand,
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man.
Hearts caught fire and love ran wild.
She cried the day she called to say she was having his child.
With so much riding on the choice at hand,
the spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man.
There's a constant contradiction, what feels good and what feels right.
But, you live with decisions that you make in your life.
And what steers your direction is hard to understand,
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas,
hauling cars out to the coast.
It ain't the dream that he remembered, just a few short years ago.
But tonight at a truck stop, while drinking a cup,
the waitress grins and winks at him,
and says, "My shift's almost up."
With so much riding on the choice at hand,
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man.
With so much riding on the choice at hand,

Well my sister was right Uncle Tony sure does have a beautiful voice, "Alright kiddo, lets go upstairs, but when we get up there I want you at an empty desk keeping yourself busy..."
"But..."
"No buts Brent, I want you at a desk busy, nothing more."
"Ok, I will," I smiled up at him and he smiled back and I grabbed his hand and we walked back up to the bullpen.
GIBBS POV
I decided that I would go upstairs and check on Kate, I set my stuff down on my desk and walked up to my wife's office. I walked inside her door, "Ah Jethro I was just about to call you."
"Had a gut feeling."
"Yeah I figured.
"Haha, did she behave for you?" I walked over to where my daughter was lying down.
"Yes she has, she slept pretty much the whole time."
"Good," I knelt down beside her and brushed the hair away from her face, and she opened her eyes and smiled at me, "Hi daddy," she said in a whisper.
"Hi honey how are you feeling?"
"Better, dad," she said sitting up.
"Ok honey lets get you down to Ducky so he can remove the IV."
"I can do it," she started peeling off the tape but I slapped her hand away, "Caitlyn knock it off." She didn't even argue, like she normally would, she just stopped and I lifted her up into my arms and held, the now empty IV bag. I carried her all the way down to autopsy, and when we entered autopsy I set her down on the cold, metal table, and Ducky walked over and glared down at her, "What!" she snapped. I opened my mouth to speak but Ducky held up his hand then said, "My dear, Caitlyn, you really worried us..."
"Um... sorry?"
"Is that all you have to say for yourself, Caitlyn?" Ducky asked.
"All I can think of right now, don't remember much after I drank Auntie Abby's Caf-Pow... oops."
I looked at her sternly, "Kate what do you mean by oops?"
"I honestly forgot that caffeine doesn't settle well with me."
"You mean you knew?"
She burst into tears, and it broke my heart and I knew she was being truthful with me, "Y-yes I-I knew f-for a-a long t-time," I embraced her in a hug, "I-I'm s-sorry are you g-gonna s-spank me?"
"Not this time, baby doll, but if you ever worry me like that again I will make sure you wont be able to sit comfortably for a week, you understand me?"
She nodded, "Y-yes I-I understand d-daddy."
"Good, now I think you owe your aunt an apology."
Her eyes widened, "Can you come with me?"
I looked at my watch, "Sure it is time to go anyway and we are driving Seamus home as well." We walked down to the lab hand in hand.
KATE POV
When we entered the lab Abby spun around and came over and got down on one knee and hugged me, "Kate you really worried me, honey."
"I-I'm s-sorry," and I started to cry again and I wrapped my arms tightly around her neck "Its ok honey just don't do it again."
"I won't."
"Good because for a second I thought I would have to padlock my fridge," that statement caused me to giggle.
Then my dad said, "Ok Kate, go and grab Seamus."
"Sure daddy," he tapped my bottom at I ran past, causing me to laugh. When I entered Auntie Abby's office CK immediately came over and hugged me, "CK my dad is right outside the door."
"Its ok, sweetheart, what he doesn't know will not hurt him. You worried me."
"Well first of all my dad always finds out, and second I am really sorry it wont happen again I have to go I'll catch you later," he gave me a quick kiss to the temple, "Come on Seamus." Seamus stood up and followed me out the door then we followed my dad to the bullpen grabbed my mom and Brent, we said our goodbyes, and we went out to the car. On the car ride home Seamus whispered to me, "Kate I heard what happened are you ok?" he said patting Spartan.
"Ya I am now."
When we arrived at Seamus' new house, which is right across from ours, my dad said, "Seamus, Kate and I will walk you in."
The three of us waled up the walkway and my dad knocked on the door and Mrs. O'Neil opened it, "Gibbs thank you so much."
"It was my pleasure ma'am."
"Siobhan." (Pronounced sha-von)
"Siobhan?"
"Yes Gibbs, Siobhan O'Neil."
"Ok it was my pleasure Siobhan."
Then Seamus piped up, "Thank you for all you have done for us, Agent Gibbs."
"No problem, son," my dad said as he ruffled his hair.
"Bye Seamus."
"Bye Kate."
"Just remember, Siobhan, I am right across the street it you need us."
"Thank you," she smiled and we went home.
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS PLEASE REVIEW IT MEANS A LOT TO ME
I was running down the hall, maybe I will take my chances with the stairs, "Brent Stop!"
I looked behind me and replied " Come on Uncle Tony, now that you have flames you should be able to run faster..." Next thing I realized was that I was on the floor and my dad was helping me up, ohh curse my dad and his gut for taking the stairs today. Uncle Tony finally caught up with us, "DiNozzo why in the world are you chasing Brent around?"
"Just look at what he did to my shoes."
My father looked down and his smile faded, "Now Brent did you do that to your Uncles shoes?"
"Um... no," Well that did not work out as planned he turned me to my side and smacked me hard on the butt," Ow dad!" I put my hands back to protect me from any more onslaught.
My father got down on one knee in front of me and he put a hand on my shoulder, "I'm going to ask you one more time, Brent did you do that to Tony's shoes?"
"Yes sir, I did."
"Why?"
"Well Uncle Tony was bein mean, he said that I was the only person that liked spendin time with Uncle Timmy." My dad stood up and head slapped Tony causing him to yelp and me to grin. When my dad turned back around my smile faded, "Even though Tony said that, it does not give you the right to destroy his property. Now you better hope that washes off."
I could feel myself pale, "I-It d-doesn't."
"What do you mean, it doesn't"
"I-Its p-p-permanent." I saw my dad nod at Uncle Tony, crap not good. Tony then looked at me and said, "Come on Brent," I shook my head.
"Then my said said, "Young man you knew what you were getting yourself into, Now Go!" He smacked me on the butt sending me on my way I glared at him rubbing my butt. Uncle Tony grabbed my arm, tightly, and I tried, unsuccessfully, to pull out of his grip. "Now Brent if you don't stop I will pick you up," I dug my heals into the ground, "Ok that's it, "he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
"Come on Uncle Tony this is not fair, put me down."
"Young man you want to know whats not fair?" We entered the empty interrogation room and he shut the door and placed me in a chair then he sat down himself, "whats not fair is that you destroyed my white shoes."
"Well maybe you shouldn't have worn white shoes to work." I mumbled.
He ignored my smart ass comment, "These shoes cost me like two hundred bucks..."
"Well maybe you shouldn't have spent so much..." this time he did pull me out of my chair and smacked me on the butt then sat me back down.
"Now I want you to stop with that attitude, now I am sorry for what I said to Uncle Timmy but that does not make it ok for you to use permanent marker on my white shoes. If it were washable markers I wouldn't be as mad.

chap 80
When we got home I fed Spartan, and then our family sat down at the table and were eating left over pizza. Everything was going fine until Brent spoke, "You wanna know what I could go for right now? Some soda..."
"Brent," my dad warned.
"What did I do? It tastes sooo good and I love the feel of the caffeine rush, don't you Kate?" I was silent, "What don't you want some?," he smirked It was that smirk that set me off.
"BRENT!" I yelled as I stood up abruptly causing my chair to fall, "Let It Alone!" I scooped Spartan up and ran from the room ignoring my parents calls. I ran into my room, slammed the door shut, set Spartan on the floor, and flung my self on the bed and as soon as my head hit my pillow I burst into tears. Spartan jumped on the bed and started to lick my salty tears. Two minutes later there was a knock at my door and someone entered, and I felt the bed dip as someone sat down, and judging by the weight I could tell it was my dad. I sat up and climbed into his lap and put my arms around his neck, "Daddy w-why d-does he d-do th-that?" I said through hitched breaths.
"I don't know honey, but I've dealt with him."
"Ok" I sniffled
"Honey look at me," I leaned back and he took his thumbs and wiped away my tears, "There you go kiddo, your alright now would you feel better if I sang to you?" I nodded and he sang I Wont Let Go by Rascal Flatts.
It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It's breaks your will
It feels like that
You think your lost
But your not lost on your own
Your not alone
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
If you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I wont let go
It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it's dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all
And we're too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I wont let you fall
Don't be afraid to fall
I'm right here to catch you
I wont let you down
It wont get you down
Your gonna make it
Yea I know you can make it
Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I wont let go
Oh I'm gonna hold you
And I wont let go
Wont let you go
No I wont
But listening to the lyrics only made me cry harder. When he finished the song he was rubbing my back, "Shhh baby doll, I don't like to see you so upset, now why don't you get into your pajamas and we can watch a movie before bed ok?"
"Ok d-daddy can you wait for me?"
"Sure kiddo," he walked outside my door and I got dressed in my Superman pajamas and i dressed Spartan in his. I walked outside my room, Spartan in hand and I smiled up at my father and he smiled down at me and I grabbed his hand. We walked downstairs and the first thing that I noticed was Brent squirming around in his seat. Before I sat down my dad said, "Brent front and center," he stood up and walked in front of me "Do you have something you wanted to say to Kate?"
"Yes um... I am really sorry Kat. I really didn't mean to upset you in the way that I did."
"Its ok squirt I forgive you, now what are we going to watch?"
"Toy Story 3" he said excitedly.
"Cool," my dad set up the movie and we all sat on the couch, Brent on our dad's lap, and me lying between both our parents with my head on my mom's leg. The movie got over at 2130 and like always Brent fell asleep and my dad said, "Alright Jenny I'm going to bring him upstairs and put him to bed, Kate can stay up a little later ok?" She nodded and he carried him upstairs. Spartan jumped up on the couch and took his place.
"Kate, are you ok?"
"I'm fine mom, he just can be a total..."
"Brat?" she offered.
"Ya a total brat sometimes," she chuckled. I looked up at my dad walked down the stairs but he stopped right before he got to the couch and said, "Caitlyn Leigh would you just look at your dog you would think he owned the place." Both my mom and I looked at the spot next to me and there was a pillow and on that pillow was Spartan curled up in a ball and fast asleep. My mom and I chuckled, I picked up the pillow and Spartan and put them on the floor. My dad took his seat again and it felt like only ten minutes later I was asleep.
GIBBS POV
Jenny looked down and said, "Honey she's asleep."
"Ok I'll take her up, then I have plans for you," I wriggled my eyebrows, and she giggled.
"What sort of plans?" she asked sexily.
"I think you know what I mean, office in ten?"
"Ok babe hurry, I'll be waiting." I picked Kate up and started up the stairs and conveniently Spartan followed so she would not come looking for him. After I put her to bed and tucked her in I shut her door and I made my way down to our office and shut the door and locked it behind me. I looked at my wife, who was sitting on the desk, which she cleared off and now she had taken her hair down, sho her beautiful red hair flowed freely. I walked over to my wife and kissed her and she unzipped my fly and I chuckled, "Eager aren't we."
"Always with you Jethro." She grinned and I laid her back and I lifted her skirt and pulled her underwear down. and while I kissed her I entered her and I rocked he back and forth and into orgasm. When we were finished I pulled out and we fixed our clothes and I grinned down at her and I took her hand and helped her up and I put my arm around her shoulder, "Come on hon, lets go to be."
"Ok Jet," and we walked up to our room and she got into her pajamas and I stripped down to my boxers and we got under the covers, and we snuggled close and drifted off to sleep.

KATE POV
The week went by pretty fast and I surprisingly lasted the week without getting into trouble. I woke up excited on Saturday morning on the twenty fifth of September, why because it is my eleventh birthday. I rolled over and glanced at my clock, 0630, I patted Spartan and he licked my face. Then my door opened and the lights were flipped on, and I squinted my eyes tried to adjust to the light, and I finally realized it was my dad standing in the doorway and he said, "Oh good you're up, you leave in a half an hour."
"What do mean dad?"
"What I mean is you are going to JAG, or have you forgotten? Carlos is downstairs, Mac and Harm are coming to pick you up, your mother and I have to work," and he walked out of my room. Shoot I had forgotten all about going to JAG, but surely he did not forget my birthday, but I got up anyway and I pulled on some sweats and a t-shirt, and I made my way downstairs and into the family room, where CK was lying down on the couch with his feet up on the couch. Harm and Mac, who were dressed in their uniforms, were sitting in the two chairs, "Where are my parents?"
It was Harm that spoke, "They already left, they had to go in early, lets go."
"Ok, by the way CK if my father ever finds out you had your sneakers up on the couch, he will kill you."
"Oops, sorry, come on Katie, lets go," he stood up and we followed Mac and Harm out to the car, and CK and I got in the back seats, except I got in the back and sat with my arms crossed, with a pout because one everyone forgot my birthday and two I did not want to go to JAG. I was diagonal from the Major and as she was backing out of the drive way she said, "Hey Kate stop with the pouting."
I just glared at her and growled, "I will pout when I want to pout, thank you very much." Within seconds Harm spun around in his seat and said through gritted teeth, "Hey Caitlyn just because your father is not here does not mean I wont spank you, now apologize to my wife."
I felt myself blush scarlet, "I am sorry Major MacKenzie."
"Apology accepted, hon."
Then Harm said, "Alright Kate, just cut the attitude, that is strike one."
I opened my mouth to speak, and Harm raised his eyebrow but CK quickly covered my mouth, "Ok Commander she will be quiet now." Mac started to drive away and CK uncovered my mouth, I didn't say a word I just stared out the window the whole ride to JAG. Carlos had tried to hold my hand but I pulled it away. When we arrived at the JAG headquarters, Mac parked the car and I tried the door, nope locked. Harm got out and opened my door and Mac opened CK's door. I glared up at Harm and said, "Really Harm? Damn child locks we are not toddlers."
All he did was glare at me and said firmly through gritted teeth, "Strike two."
"Sorry commander, what are we going to do first?"
"It's ok kiddo, and I think we will run the track first so you can burn off some of that steam." Ck and I followed Mac and Harm, who were holding hands, down to the track and before they said anything I started running. Around fifteen minutes later CK caught up with me "Hey Kate what is wrong?" I just shook my head and sped up, tears threatening to fall. But, he caught up with me and grabbed my arm, "What's wrong, hun?"
"Well everyone seemed to forget my birthday."
"Oh honey I can assure you they didn't forget, but I could not ever forget your birtday," he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small purple wrapped box and handed it to me, "Go ahead open it," we both slowed to a walk and I unwrapped the box and opened it and inside was a Superman Go Forward dog tag. A little FYI for those that don't know what Go Forward means it is the Christopher Reeve foundation it is to help raise money to help find a cure for paralysis, I actually own one at, www. christopher reeve .org then go to shop for a cure. "Oh my gosh CK thank you so much I love it."
"I thought you would," he embraced me in a hug and kissed my forehead.
Then we heard Harm yell, "Enough you two and start running."
We started running again then CK looked into my eyed and said, "Come on Kate lets blow this joint."
I looked around, "But CK the place is all fenced in."
"Not the parking lot. So you in?"
"Hell ya man," he chuckled and looked back at the pair then he grabbed my hand and we took off, we were halfway to the parking lot and I didn't dare to look back to see if we were being followed. We almost made it to the parking lot when we both ran into someone and fell hard on our butts we looked up and noticed Lieutenant Bud Roberts staring down at us, he helped us up and held us by our arms, "Hey aren't Harm and Mac suppose to be watching you?"
"Time off for good behavior," I said.
He glared at me, "That's funny Kate because last time I checked you two come here when you get in trouble." I blushed and was about to say something when Harm and Mac finally caught up, "Thank you Bud."
"No problem Major." Then she took a hold of CK's arm and Harm took a hold of mine, "Let me go Harm," I yelled while struggling, "I can walk for my self." Major MaKenzie and CK were already at the car "Come on Kate, that was strike three."
"No!" I was dragging my feet along while he was pulling me along.
"Knock it off, I will carry you if you do not stop." I tried to sit down to pull out of his grip, but he had no problem lifting me up and over his shoulder.
"Put me down," I punched his back with every word. " Knock it off," I then kicked my leg down low, a little too close for comfort for Harm, and I was rewarded with a sharp smack to my rear end. "OW! You have know right!"
"I do, now are you going to stop?"
"Yes sir, sorry, now where are we going?"
"Its ok, and I called your father and we are going to your house because he is home for a few minutes." I felt myself pale, "Do we have to?"
"Yes we have to." We arrived at the car and Harm put me in the back seat next to CK and he shut the door, this time Harm was driving. He drove all the way to my house and they let us out of the car, and the three of them followed me inside the house, "DAD!" I yelled
"OUTSIDE," he shouted back, I walked through the kitchen to the back door and I opened it, "SURPRISE!" everyone shouted I grinned and CK came up next to me and put his arm around my shoulder and said "See Kate I told you they did not forget."
The week went by pretty fast and I surprisingly lasted the week without getting into trouble. I woke up excited on Saturday morning on the twenty fifth of September, why because it is my eleventh birthday. I rolled over and glanced at my clock, 0630, I patted Spartan and he licked my face. Then my door opened and the lights were flipped on, and I squinted my eyes tried to adjust to the light, and I finally realized it was my dad standing in the doorway and he said, "Oh good you're up, you leave in a half an hour."

Chapter 82
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE REVIEWS I AM NOT GETTING AS MUCH THEY MAKE ME REALLY HAPPY WHEN MY DAY IS DOWN SO PLZ EVERYONE REVIEW EVEN IF IS JUST THE WORD GREAT
I NO THIS ONE IS SHORT BUT I JUST GOT BACK FROM TEXAS SEEING THE RED SOX PLAY AND I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE MY READERS HANGING NEXT ONE WILL BE LONGER
I ran into my dad's outstretched arms and wrapped my arms around his neck, "I knew you couldn't forget my birthday!"
"You... never kiddo." He kissed the top of my head "Now come on there are a few people who you do not know yet."
"Who daddy?"
"Come on I will introduce you." He took my hand and walked me over to a man in a uniform with marine haircut, like my dads' "Kate you remember Cooper right?"
"I felt myself blush, of course I remember, "Yes dad I remember."
"Well this is his lovely wife Nikki and his two kids Cassidy and Clayton." Nikki is a gorgeous blonde, and has eyes the color of sapphire. The kids were a spitting image of Cooper and Nikki, they both have their parents blond hair and blue eyes, Cassidy I believe is about eight years and Clayton I believe is about seven.
"It is a pleasure to meet you guys."
"It is very nice to meet you Kate," Nikki said as she shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you, by the way you can call me Cassie or Cass," I smiled as I shook the girl's hand.
"Hiya Kate I'm Clay, nice ta meetcha." I grinned as I shook his hand.
After my dad introduced us we started walking away and I realized that we were heading towards Harm and Mac, "Hey dad?"
"Yeah kiddo?"
"Was the whole JAG thing part of the plan?"
"Yep I mean if it weren't for Mac and Harm how could I surprise you?" he reached down and tickled me, and I giggled.
"Thank you daddy," I broke off from my dad's grip and ran over to where Harm was standing and I hugged his waist, "Thank you Harm, I thought everyone had forgotten my birthday, so I didn't mean to have an attitude."
"It's ok, hon," he said as he looked over to my dad, "Now Kate you know my wife Sarah, but you have not met our kids, Kate meet Olivia, Scott, and Lilly." Olivia is the oldest of the three with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes, she looks about fifteen and Harm or Mac probably haven't noticed but she was texting. . Scott looks about seven with his spiky hair and brown eyes. Lilly looked to be about six she looked like a younger version of Mac, her short brown hair and her beautiful brown eyes.
"It's nice to meet you," I said as I held out my hand to Olivia, but she kept on texting.
"Ya whatever," at which point Harm took her phone and smacked her bottom.
"Apologize, Olivia Skye."
"I'm sorry," she shook my hand, "It's nice meet you."
"It is really nice to meet you Kate," the little boy shook my hand.
Lastly I put my hand out to the youngest of the three, "It's nice to meet you Lilly, has anyone ever told you that you look just like your mother?"
She smiled a toothless grin, "Awl da time, nice ta meets ya."
My dad grinned down at me, "Now Kate there is one more person whom I would like you to meet." My father brought me over to the picnic table, where there was am older man sitting drinking a bourbon, as we approached the man stood up. My dad put his hand on my shoulders and said, "Caitlyn Gibbs meet Jackson Gibbs my father." I smiled and I broke from my father's grip and I took a few steps and hugged him and he returned the hug, and I breathed in and he smelled of peppermints and freshly brewed coffee. I broke the hug and I looked up into his ocean blue eyes and said, "It is nice to meet you."
"Oh sweetheart the pleasure is most certainly all mine."
Then my dad said, "Hey Kate your grandfather is going to stay with us for a week so I want you, miss, to be on your best behavior."
"Come on me dad when do I ever start trouble?"
"Very funny Kate, your a real stand up comedian." I grinned, "Now run along and go play its your birthday go have fun." He smacked me on the bottom and I giggled running off.
