Disclaimer: I do not own anything
Still in the conference room
So there I was still in the conference room, sitting in a long awkward silence. I guess I will have to be the one to break it," So… Is this what the trial is going to be like?"
" Exactly, this is exactly what it is going to be like, and I promise you he won't get out."
" You sure?"
" Positive, all you have to do is answer the judge's questions, like you did mine."
" Okay, I will." I smiled weakly." You know it's funny…"
" What is?"
"That I've never told my father the details, that I just told you now."
" You know that he is going to find out on Wednesday."
"Yeah I know, I guess I've just been afraid to tell him, you know what he will think of me."
" I can guarantee you that he will not think any less of you."
"I know that, Harm..."
"Kiddo, just try to find a way to tell him, you'll feel better."
"But he will find out Wednesday..."
"I know that but it might be better to tell him before hand."
"Ok, I will." I smiled weakly.
He returned the smile, "Good, now lets go see your dad." He held out his hand, and I took it. We walked down to the bullpen, and I saw my father and ran over to him and he hugged me. Harm came up behind me, "Hey Harm, she behave for you?"
"Yes, she did," he ruffled my hair, "I'll see you guys later."
"Ok, thanks again Harm."
"No problem, Gunny," He smiled and walked towards the elevator and left.
I was sitting on his lap," So, Kate are you okay?"
" Yeah I'm fine, dad."
"Anything you want to tell me?"
" Well let's just say it's been a while since I've seen a grown man cry."
" What do you mean?"
"Well I mean Harm, he cried when I told him my story. He was the third I've seen."
"Oh... And who was the first and second?"
" Well the second was you when you were telling me about your wife and daughter being killed. And the first was my father. Even though my father had Rex kill my mom, I knew he still loved her. She died in his arms, and he cried, and I watched him cry as she took her last breath," I felt my eyes water and he hugged me close and kissed my head.
" You're okay, kiddo," he said as he rubbed my back"No child should witness that. How about you and me head to the cafe for some ice cream, to help you feel better."
"Ok but its almost dinner time."
"I know, lets just say its a treat."
"Alright does that mean you're paying too?"
He smiled and lightly cuffed my head, "Lets go kiddo," I smiled and took his hand and we walked to the cafeteria. When we got there the regular cook was there, Neil. Neil was really handsome, he had really nice eyes, a nice smile, and usually wore a Fedora hat. Neil must have known that we were coming because he smiled and handed my dad and myself a cone filled with chocolate ice cream. we went in and sat at a table," So honey, I already talked to the school and you do not have to go back until Monday."
" Why?" I said as I took a bite out of the cone.
" Because of the trial, and I wanted to give you some recuperating time afterwords."
" Okay dad," I said as we both finished our ice cream.
"Come on kiddo, let's go grab Spartan, your mom, and Brent, so we can go home."
" Can I had a piggyback ride?"
" Sure, hop on," I climbed on his back. As he was walking away I waved," Bye Neil."
" Bye Kate." He smiled and waved back.
Later – 2010
I am sitting on the couch between both of my parents. Since my parents said I'm not going to school tomorrow he is letting me stay up, while we watch Superman Returns. We were ten minutes into the movie when Brent walked into the room and his PJs. My father paused the movie and said," Brent go back to bed."
" Why?"
"Because I said so, and you have school tomorrow."
"But she gets to stay up." he said pointing a finger at me.
" Brent it is not nice to point. Anyway, she isn't going in…"
" Well if she isn't going in, then I'm not either."
" Brent I don't think you want to go there."
" Okay I'm sorry daddy, um can you tuck me in?"
" Sure buddy, come on," he took his hand and they walked upstairs. I stretched out on the couch and laid my head on my mom's lap, and Spartan jumped on the couch and laid at my feet. Five minutes later my dad came down and we resumed the movie, and after the movie we went up to bed.
The next morning, when I woke up, I glanced at the clock and it read 0830, which was weird because my parents usually left for work earlier. Duh, I head slapped myself, of course, my grandfather is here. I got dressed in a turtle neck and a vest, with some jeans. I grabbed Spartan and I walked downstairs and into the kitchen where my grandfather was making breakfast. I sat down at the table, "Good morning honey."
"Morning grandpa," he placed a plate of french toast in front of me, " Thank you," then he fed Spartan, and sat down.
" So grandpa , are we going to go to NCIS?"
" Sure honey."
" Cool I can't wait to properly introduce you to Ducky, since you two didnt talk much at my birthday party." I said as I finished my food." Can we go now?"
" Sure, let's just grab our coats." After we grabbed our coats, and after I dressed Spartan in his, we went out to the car and got in. My grandfather drove to NCIS. After he parked the car we got out and I grabbed his hand and Spartan followed us as we walked towards the elevator. We rode up to the bullpen and the team was there, except for my father. I walked over to Uncle Tony's desk, as grandpa sat at my father's desk.
" Hey Uncle T, where is my dad?"
" Wait for it." I cocked my eyebrow in confusion.
" I'm right here kiddo."
" See Kate your father has this way of showing up when you want or need him."
I giggled," See Kate that's why I know when you guys get in trouble." My smile faded, as his widened," not funny dad."
" Yep I thought so." He ruffled my hair," Hey dad."
" Hey Leroy. What's up?"
" Nothing dad, so what brings you brings you here?"
"Well Kate wanted me to come, and she wanted to properly introduce me to Ducky."
"Ok dad, Kate do you want to take your grandfather down to Ducky?"
I nodded, smiling, "Yes I do daddy." I grabbed my grandfather's hand and we walked to the elevator and we rode it down to autopsy. I dragged him into autopsy where Ducky was writing notes. When he saw me he said, "What can I do for you Caitlyn?"
"Ducky, this is my grandfather, Jackson Gibbs."
"Hello Jackson, it is very nice to meet you," they shook hands.
"Likewise, and you can call me Jack," I mentally gasped because nobody has ever corrected Ducky.
"Ok, Jack," and they smiled.
"Ok I'm going to let you guys catch up, see you later." I exited autopsy and I made my way down to the lab, with Spartan close behind. We entered the lab, and like usual Auntie Abby was at her computer, I snuck up behind her, "Hey Abbs!" She jumped and spun around, "Kate I'm going to start calling you Gibbs," I giggled. "So what brings you here?"
"My grandfather, he's talking to Ducky."
"Ok so what do you want to do?"
"I'm not sure," I said and shrugged. She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off, "Wait do you have big paper and art supplies?"
"Yes I do, in my closet in my office, why?"
"Well I can draw on the walls so I'll put the paper on the walls and draw you the best dang bat cave eva. So can I?"
"Sure you can," she smiled. I walked into her office with Spartan close behind. Fifteen minutes later I had her walls plastered with paper.
Gibbs Pov
It was 1200 and my dad and Ducky went out to eat, which is good that my father has made a friend. So I was going to see if Kate wanted to grab a bite to eat. I walked down to the lab, "Hey Abbs. Where's Kate?"
"Hi Gibbs, she is in my office," I walked into her office and stood there with my mouth a gape.
Thank you for the reviews, they mean a lot to me. Please continue to review.

Great new episode
Still Gibbs POV
I was standing there in awe. I was standing, staring at Abby's walls, they used to be boring old walls. Now her walls looked like you were walking into a cave. There was a waterfall running out the mouth of the cave. There were also paper bats hanging from the ceiling. My daughter is a spitting image of Abby, she didn't hear me enter the office because she was listening to her iPod, as she was making more origami bats. I went up behind her and put my hand on her shoulder. She jumped and spun around, when she saw me she smiled and pulled her earbuds out, "Hey daddy…"
" Hi hon, did you do all this?"
" Yes… But I didn't draw on the walls," she added quickly.
I chuckled," I love it, so much, it definitely says Abby. Do you want to grab some lunch?"
"Ya, can Auntie Abby come?"
" Sure she can, come on."
Kate Pov
I ran out of the office and up to Auntie Abby, " Come on Abs, my dad said you can come to lunch with us."
" Well as long as it's okay with Gibbs," I giggled as my dad entered, I picked up Spartan and we made our way to the cafeteria. I was sitting next to Abby with Spartan at my feet, and my dad was across from us. Neal being the gentleman he is, and since it was not busy, he brought our food out. He gave my dad his coffee and a salad, he gave Auntie Abby a Caf-Pow and stuffed shells, " And for my lady, a peanut butter and banana sandwich with an IBC root beer."
I giggled, " Thanks Neal," he ruffled my hair and then he went back to work. Twenty minutes later we were all engaged in a conversation when my dad's phone rang, he picked up his phone smiling, then his smile faded, "They did what?… Did you call them?… No I understand… Okay… Be right there." He hung up his phone, putting it in his pocket as he stood stiffly, and he walked out of the room.
Gibbs Pov
I walked out to the parking lot and got in my car and I drove to DC Memorial. When I arrived I parked the car and walked inside and down to principal Chase's office. when I got there the secretary sent me in, I walked past Brent and Dani without even looking at them. I walked in and shut the door. Mr. Chase stood up and when he spoke he spoke with an Australian accent, "Agent Gibbs thanks for coming in," he shook my hand. " Please have a seat." I sat in a chair across from him. He ran his hand through his spiky blonde hair.
" So Mr. Chase…"
" Please call me Robert."
"So Robert what exactly did they do?"
" Well sir they were talking in class, and they were told several times to stop, up to the point where Miss. Sullivan told them to go to timeout, but they ran out the door. I was then called and I caught up with them before they exited the school. Now Gibbs they need…"
" Trust me I know what they need." We shared a knowing glance.
" Now I am not going to suspend them, this time, as I know your situation. Please tell Kate I said good luck."
" Thanks I will," I glanced at a picture on his desk," Your family?"
" Yes, that's my wife Allison and my kids, Greg who is the oldest at 18 years of age, Remy who is 15, and my youngest Chris is 10."
" Cute family."
" Thanks," I stood up, as did he and he shook my hand," Gibbs, always nice to see you."
" Likewise, Robert," I left the room and looked at my son and 'niece' " You two with me," they stood up and followed me out of the office. " Dad where are we going?"
" Well we are going home, but first we're going to apologize to your teacher."
" But...," they said simultaneously.
" No buts now come on," they reluctantly followed me, until we were at Miss Sullivan's door. I knocked on the door and about ten seconds later it was opened," Hello ma'am, my name's Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and I believe my son and niece would like to say something to you."
" I'm sorry, Miss Sullivan," Brent said. Dani was hesitant, "Danica Arella please apologize."
"I'm sorry Miss Sullivan."
" It's okay kids just don't do it again."
" Trust me ma'am they won't." With that we left, as we entered the parking lot I pulled out my phone and dialed Ari's number, he picked up on the second ring:
Hello?
Hey Ari, it's Gibbs.
How did it go?
Fine, where are you?
Kate had an ultrasound today.
The Baby okay?
Yes everything is fine, but we will not get back until later, we were going to have Tony and Ziva take her, but you take her…
Ari I can't punish her she's your daughter…
And she is your niece and when I or Kate are unavailable, I expect you to be able to follow through as if she was your own.
Okay
Tell her I love her
Will do.
As I hung up the phone, I arrived at the house. I shut the ignition off and said," You two family room now."
I followed them into the family room, both of them sat on the couch, and I sat on the table across from them. I didn't wait for the protesting to begin, "You two, I am not happy with your behavior, today. Now one thing I have to agree will work at school is you two are not to sit with each other for a week..."
"What! ?" They both exclaimed
I raised an eyebrow, "This is not up for discussion."
"Dad that's not fair..."
"Come on Uncle Gibbs..."
"I will tell you what's not fair, you guys talking over your teacher when she was trying to teach. Then you guys didn't listen to her and walked out of the class, that is what is not fair. Now Brent go upstairs," he left the room and I was left alone with Danica.

****I tried to make it longer, but I thought I made you wait long enough
****Sorry Please review
chapter 95
Please keep reviewing they mean so much to me
because this is a long update here is an extra long chapter
The trial is probably in the next chapter
She looked at me and said," where are my parents, Uncle Gibbs?"
" At a doctors appointment, now I talk to your father and he won't be home until later, so I'm going to deal with this," she shook her head. "I'm sorry, hun, but your dad told me to, and as much as I don't want to I have to..."
She whispered, "Ok Uncle Gibbs." She stood up in front of me and I gently guided her over my lap and without further ado I brought my hand down, making her jump, I brought my hand down five more times, and after I finished I settled her on my lap, "There there now, you're okay honey."
"I'm s-sorry U-uncle G-gibbs, I 'idn't 'ean t-to." she cried.
"Its okay kiddo, just don't do it again, would you like me to sing to you?"she nodded and I sang Just to see you smile by Tim McGraw.
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
Takin' that new job in Tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
'Cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
When I finished the song I said to her," Okay kiddo, now why don't you watch some TV while I go upstairs and deal with Brent."
" Okay Uncle Gibbs." I set her on the couch, as she flipped on the TV I made my way upstairs. I entered Brent's room and he was sitting on his bed, he looked up at me. I grabbed his desk chair and put it in front of his bed, and sat down. I pointed to the edge of his bed, and I knew he understood but he shook his head, Now Brent," He scootched to the edge of the bed.
"Brent, it is unacceptable for you to treat your teacher like that, do you understand me?"
"Yes sir, I understand."
"Good now stand up."
"No, daddy, I 'ont wanna spankin'"
"I know you don't, but it's happening."
"Ok dad," he stood up and I placed him over my lap. I brought my hand down causing him to yelp. I brought my hand down six more times. I settled him on my lap, "I-I am s-sorry..."
"I know you are son, but I do not want you to treat your teacher like that ever again."
"O-okay d-daddy."
"You want me to sing to you?" he nodded and I sang Dierks Bently's song Home.
West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born
Scars, yeah she's got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don't wanna lose
Sight of who we are
From the mountains high
To the wave crashed coast
There's a way to find
Better days I know
It's been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home
Free, nothing feels like free
Though it sometimes means we don't get along
Cause same, no we're not the same
But that's what makes us strong
From the mountains high
To the wave crashed coast
There's a way to find
Better days I know
It's been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home
Brave, gotta call it brave
To chase that dream across the sea
Names, and they signed their names
For something they believed
Red, how the blood ran red
And we laid our dead in sacred ground
Just think, wonder what they think
If they could see us now
It's been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home
It's been a long hard ride
And I won't lose hope
This is still the place
That we all call home
After I finished the song I looked at him and said, "Do you want to go and watch some television with Dani while I make you guys some lunch?"
"Ok dad," and we walked out of his room hand in hand.
Kate Pov
Abby and I were still sitting in the cafeteria, slowly eating our lunch, "When we get back can I show you your office?"
"Sure, honey, now if you're done eating can you take the plates up to Neal so he doesn't have to do it."
"Ok, Auntie Abby," I grabbed the plates and walked up to Neal, "Here Neal," I handed him the plates.
"Thank you Kate, and this is for you," he reached out and put a flower in my hair and I giggled. "Thanks Neal" he smiled and I ran back to where my Aunt was sitting.
I could feel myself blushing, "Looks like someone has a crush..."
"Do Not!" My voice got unusually high and she chuckled, "Okay, well he is kinda cute, but Abbs he's old!"
"Not that old, now come on I want to see what you did to my office." I grabbed her hand and We walked to the lab with Spartan trailing behind. When we got inside the lab I said," Okay now Auntie Abby I want you to close your eyes."
She closed her eyes," Okay kiddo," I grabbed her hand and dragged her into the office, I let go of her hand" Okay now open your eyes," she did and gasped, "Omigosh Kate I love it," she hugged me tightly.
She broke the hug," You're welcome, can I go see my mom?"
" Sure kiddo," I exited the room with Spartan, and we rode up to the bullpen. The team wasn't there so they probably had a case. Now I know my dad does not like us running in the building because we can potentially distract the other agents or we can injure ourselves. But, hey, what the heck he's not here. So I booked it upstairs, I almost made it to the top of the stairs but I tripped up the last few steps and my knee cap hit a loose screw, hard. I could feel my lip tremble and the tears start to fall,"MOM!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
I heard running footsteps, then Cynthia Helped me to sit up, then I heard the door slam and my mom ran over to us and she knelt in front of me," Where does it hurt sweetie."
"My k-knee C-cap…" I cried.
" Honey let's roll up your pant leg" she went To reach toward my pants and I shrieked," No It hurts."
" Now, Caitlyn, I am trying to help you."
I looked down and saw blood,"I-is t-that b-blood?"
"Cynthia, scissors please." She handed my mother the scissors and my mom cut my pants up past the kneecap and when she saw the cut she said," Kate, we need to go see Ducky, Cynthia can you accompany me please."
"Sure Director," my mom lifted me up and we walked down to Autopsy, with Cynthia behind us. My mom left Spartan in her office. We entered Autopsy, "Ducky a little help please!" Ducky rushed over and when he saw my leg he said "Oh..." he grabbed a towel and pressed it to my leg and I hissed, "My dear what happened?"
"I ran up the stairs..." my mom glared at me because she knew how my father felt about running in the building,"and I fell and hit my kneecap on a screw."
He finished cleaning the cut and my mom spoke, "How's it look Ducky?"
"Well it looks fine but I just have to stitch it up..."
"Stitches!" I shouted.
"Yes I'm sorry Caitlyn, but you have got to be more careful," he nodded to my mom and Cynthia. They helped hold me down as Ducky gave me four stitched and bandaged my leg, "Now she should keep her weight off it and try and keep it elevated."
" Thank you Ducky," my mom said, and my mother and Cynthia helped me upstairs and they set me at my father's desk, because that is where I wanted to go. My mom and her assistant went back upstairs, I looked around, the team is not back yet. I picked up my dads desk Phone and dialed the house.
It rang twice, hello?
Dad?
Hey Honey, what's up?
Well I kinda had an accident.
What happened?
Well I ran…
Now Caitlyn, I told you about running in the building…
I know dad, my kneecap hit a loose screw...
You okay?
No, Ducky had to give me stitches.
Jeeze hon, at least you're okay, can I speak to your mother?"
" She is upstairs, I will transfer you," I transferred the call upstairs, Just then Dorneget walked in," Hey probie."
" Hey Kate…"
"Dorneget can you go get me an ice cream?" He opened his mouth to speak when the team walked in and Tony said,"Dorneget is not your slave, go get it yourself."
" I can't, Uncle T..."
" Why can't you?"
" I was IOD," he cocked an eyebrow," injured on duty, you Really need to learn the military lingo Uncle Tony."
He chuckled," What happened hun?"
" Well I fell and hit a loose screw, and Ducky had to give the stitches…"
" Were you running?"
" Yes, but…"
" No buts Kate that's why we don't like you kids running in the building."
" I know, and I'm sorry," I replied as I went back to Playing Tetris on the computer.
Please keep reviewing they mean so much to me
because this is a long update here is an extra long chapter
The trial is probably in the next chapter
She looked at me and said," where are my parents, Uncle Gibbs?"
" At a doctors appointment, now I talk to your father and he won't be home until later, so I'm going to deal with this," she shook her head. "I'm sorry, hun, but your dad told me to, and as much as I don't want to I have to..."
She whispered, "Ok Uncle Gibbs." She stood up in front of me and I gently guided her over my lap and without further ado I brought my hand down, making her jump, I brought my hand down five more times, and after I finished I settled her on my lap, "There there now, you're okay honey."
"I'm s-sorry U-uncle G-gibbs, I 'idn't 'ean t-to." she cried.
"Its okay kiddo, just don't do it again, would you like me to sing to you?"she nodded and I sang Just to see you smile by Tim McGraw.
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
Takin' that new job in Tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
'Cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
When I finished the song I said to her," Okay kiddo, now why don't you watch some TV while I go upstairs and deal with Brent."
" Okay Uncle Gibbs." I set her on the couch, as she flipped on the TV I made my way upstairs. I entered Brent's room and he was sitting on his bed, he looked up at me. I grabbed his desk chair and put it in front of his bed, and sat down. I pointed to the edge of his bed, and I knew he understood but he shook his head, Now Brent," He scootched to the edge of the bed.
"Brent, it is unacceptable for you to treat your teacher like that, do you understand me?"
"Yes sir, I understand."
"Good now stand up."

Chapter 96 (Aka The Trial)
Keep up the reviews, they are greatly appreciated
Sorry for the long update.
The next morning when I woke up I was nervous and relieved, all at the same time. I was nervous about seeing my biological father again, but relieved that
the trial is finally here to get it over with and behind me. I got up and Spartan followed me as I limped downstairs. When I got downstairs, eventually
because of my knee, both of my parents were dressed. My dad was in a really nice dress suit, while my mom was in a nice floral silk shirt with dressy pants. Also my grandfather was in a nice dress suit, and he came over and hugged me. My mom spoke first,"Good morning sweetie, how Is your leg?"
"It hurts a little may have some Tylenol?"
My Dad said," Sure hun, I put it next to your Orange juice and French
toast."
I sat down," Thanks," my dad fed Spartan," Where's Brent?"
" Your father dropped him off at work, at the day care center, along with the other kids because everyone is going to support you at the trial."
I finished eating," I'm going to go get dressed."
" Okay I hung some clothes on your closet."
" Thanks mom," I went upstairs and into my room. I got dressed in an aqua silk shirt, dressy pinstriped pants, and black dress shoes. I got some band-aids
and ointment from my parents bathroom and brought them downstairs and I walked into the kitchen," Hey hun, you look nice."
" Thanks dad, where did mom go?"
" Upstairs…"
"Oh… Can you change my band-aid?"
" Sure kiddo, sit down," I sat down and he pulled over a chair, I pointed to the leg and he rolled up my pant leg. He took off the existing band-aid and he
applied the ointment to the cut and put a new Band-Aid on.
"Dad?"
"Yeah hun?
"I just wanted to tell you that the stuff I told Harm, which is the same you will hear today, is pretty deep and I have never told anyone except Harm and my
birth mother."
"Oh honey," he said and hugged me, "I will love you no matter what, and nothing you can say or do will ever change that, you understand me?"
"I understand daddy." He ruffled my hair just as my mom walked in," Jethro don't ruin her hair," he put up his hand guiltily and I chuckled, "You ready?" I
nodded. We Gated Spartan in the kitchen with a bowl of water and a frozen Kong, with peanut butter.
We went out to the car, my dad and mom in the front and my grandfather and myself were in the back. My Dad then drove to the courthouse. When we got there I noticed Harm in the parking lot," Hey there's Harm."
" I see him kiddo." My dad parked next to his car, we got out of the car and I walked over," Hey Harm!"
He noticed my limp," Hey kiddo, what's wrong with your leg?"
" I fell and hit a loose screw, and Ducky gave me stitches," my dad cleared his throat,"Okay, I was running which I'm not supposed to do in the
building."
"Oh I see," he smiled and shook my dad's hand," Gibbs, Jenny," then he hugged my mom and kissed her on the cheek," Shall we."
We followed Harm into the building up to these large wooden doors. Before we entered my parents hugged me and wished me luck and they entered the room. After they entered Harm got on his knees in front of me and he put his hands on my shoulders,"You are going to do fine, kiddo." He got up and we entered through the large doors. I followed him, as we walked past the seats where my 'family' were sitting, to our seats up front. Just then a man in uniform said," All rise for Judge McGarrett," everyone stood up as a very muscular man in A robe walked in, and here I thought all judges were old. He got tunelessly," Please sit," everyone sat down.
" All right, my next case is the parole hearing of Luka Alexander Lane," one of The doors opened and my biological father was led into the room, handcuffed,
I tensed up and Harm grabbed my arm reassuring me it was all going to be okay. He stared at me, smirking, as he was brought to his seat and when he sat he stared straight ahead.
Then Judge McGarrett said, "Now I know this is not like a regular parole hearing it is more like a trial, except with me asking the questions. So
commander would you care to state your first witness?" Harm nodded.
"I call Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs to the stand." I stood up, my heart in my throat, and I walked up and took my seat next to the judge.
"Hello Caitlyn..."
"You can call me Kate, sir," I looked at Harm, and he smiled.
"Ok Kate, and you can call me Steve," I looked at him and smiled, "Ok Steve."
"Kate, I need you to tell me the events that happened around Christmas time."
"I looked at Harm and he nodded, "Ok, Steve, so it was around Christmas time...
I was in my room, lying on my bed reading when my father stormed into the room, "Lets go, get in the car," he shouted.
"What?" I questioned, not thinking about who I was talking to.
He stalked over to my bed, grabbed my arm and yanked me off the bed and swatted me hard enough to bring tears, "Now you little shit," he said. He
dragged me down to the car and threw me in the back seat.
I paused a moment to take a sip of the water that was set in front of me, before the trial began. I glanced at my biological father, who still had that
stupid grin on his face. Then I continued...
He drove for hours until he arrived at an old building, out of curiosity I asked why we were here, not thinking, again. He turned around eyes of pure
hate and anger and he slapped me.
I brought my hand to my cheek as a reflex.
He dragged me inside to a room ,and the first thing that hit me was the musty locker room smell. The second thing was the single bed.
I held my wrists.
He went over and handcuffed me to the bed.
"Now Kate how long were you there for?"
"A few months."
"Did he touch you?"
"Yes sir, every day."
"Ok now tell me about the day agent Gibbs came."
My father was sitting in a corner of the room drunk as a skunk, watching
me. He stumbled over to me asking me how his slut was doing. I remember it took
all my guts to tell him fuck you.
"I apologize for swearing, your honor."
"Its ok continue."
He then slapped me, and I tasted metal in my mouth, and I knew I would be
slapped again if I spit out the blood in my mouth. I remember him saying how I
didn't mean it, but trust me I did. He told me that we would get to that soon
enough. He then climbed on top of me kissing me and licking me. He kept rubbing
himself up and down on my leg, and I felt something in his pants and he told me
we were going to have fun, and me being a child I had know clue what that meant.
He brought my hand down to his groin and rubbed and he kept making these noises.
He put one knee on each side of my head, and he started unzipping his pants, and
I saw a penis for the first time in my short ten years on this Earth. He brought
my mouth closer and closer to it. I remember closing my eyes and hoping for some
kind of sign from God that it will be alright. And before anything happened my
prayers were answered as the door banged open and Agent Gibbs and the team came
in and arrested my father.
"Thank you Kate, you may step down now." I stepped down and I walked back
over to Harm an sat down. "Commander if you have any closing statements..."
"Yes your honor," he stood up, "What Luka did to Caityn isn't just wrong its
discusting. It is wrong for a man to do this to a child, but for a fathe to do
this to a child thats incest. If he is let out he will most likely torture and
molest another little girl. Why you ask? Because Luka Alexander Lane has a
disease and he needs to feed that disease. Now ask yourself one question what if
this was your child?" After Harm said that statement I watched as Steve closed
his eyes as if thinking of his own child. Then Harm sat down.
"All rise," everyone stood up, "Now after hearing what happened to Kate I am
denying the request for parole," he banged his gavil signaling the end of me
having to sit in the same room as my piece of shit biological father.

didn't mean it, but trust me I did. He told me that we would get to that soon
enough. He then climbed on top of me kissing me and licking me. He kept rubbing
himself up and down on my leg, and I felt something in his pants and he told me
we were going to have fun, and me being a child I had know clue what that meant.
He brought my hand down to his groin and rubbed and he kept making these noises.
He put one knee on each side of my head, and he started unzipping his pants, and
I saw a penis for the first time in my short ten years on this Earth. He brought
my mouth closer and closer to it. I remember closing my eyes and hoping for some
kind of sign from God that it will be alright. And before anything happened my
prayers were answered as the door banged open and Agent Gibbs and the team came
in and arrested my father.
"Thank you Kate, you may step down now." I stepped down and I walked back
over to Harm an sat down. "Commander if you have any closing statements..."
"Yes your honor," he stood up, "What Luka did to Caityn isn't just wrong its
discusting. It is wrong for a man to do this to a child, but for a fathe to do
this to a child thats incest. If he is let out he will most likely torture and
molest another little girl. Why you ask? Because Luka Alexander Lane has a
disease and he needs to feed that disease. Now ask yourself one question what if
this was your child?" After Harm said that statement I watched as Steve closed
his eyes as if thinking of his own child. Then Harm sat down.
"All rise," everyone stood up, "Now after hearing what happened to Kate I am
denying the request for parole," he banged his gavil signaling the end of me
having to sit in the same room as my piece of shit biological father.

I am sorry I have not been able to write this story lately. I have been really busy with school and college is tough. I just wanted to let you know, I have not forgotten about this story.
After my father was escorted away, Harm and I were waiting in the lobby and my entire family walked in.
My dad hugged,"You did great kiddo."
" Thanks dad!"
" Yeah Kate you kicked ass!" Tony said earning a head slap causing me to laugh. "Oh you think that's funny?" he lifted me up and twirled me.
I giggled nodding "I do Uncle Tony." I kissed his cheek "Hey daddy" I said still in Uncle Tony's arms "Where are Uncle Tim, Auntie Ziva, and Auntie Abby?"
"Well they took three of our cars to pick up the kids and they are bringing them back to our house."
"Oh but..." I started as Uncle Tony set me back on the floor.
"Dont worry sweetie we are driving back with Tony in the SUV," my mom added. We walked over to the big SUV. My dad got in the front with Tony and my grandfather, mom and I were in the back with me in the middle. Uncle Tony drove to the house and from the looks of it, everyone was there. As soon as the car was stopped my feet hit the ground and I ran into the house. As I entered the I almost mowed Uncle Timmy down, "Hey kiddo" he hugged me "great job today."
"Thanks Uncle Timmy, where is everyone?"
"Outside, Abby said something about dogs and agility." I smiled and walked outside to my backyard which was transformed into a large agility course. I walked over to where Auntie Abby was standing "Hey Auntie Abbs," she turned around and gave me one of her bear hugs, "Whatcha doin'?"
Auntie Abby grinned, "Oh just a bit of dog agility and the dogs are naturals."
"And Spartan?"
"He just follows the others, but don't worry pretty soon he wont need them" I giggled. "By the way great job today."
"Thanks Abbs" I smiled as I watched Spartan tagging along, following Jethro the german shepherd into the tunnel. When he came out he spotted me and barked and ran over to me and I scooped him up and cuddled him "I missed you to boy."
My father walked out and told us lunch was ready. We went inside and I placed Spartan on the floor, the parents were at one table and the kids were at another. Like always I sat next to CK.
"Hey Kate how did it go today?"
"Fine, he is not getting out..."
"Who isn't Kate?" Brent said.
"No one..."
"Tell me Kate."
"I'd rather not," then he kicked me and I said through gritted teeth "don't kick me." Then he made an attempt to kick me again but his chair was pulled back by my father.
BRENTS POV
"We'll be back," my dad grabbed my hand and we walked outside to the car, "Get in."
"Dad?"
"Just get in," I got in the back seat and he got in the driver seat and he started driving, "Where we going dad?"
"You'll see."
"Are you mad at me?"
"Well I am not happy that you kicked your sister."
"I'm sorry..."
"I am not the one you should be apologizing too." He stopped the car.
"Dad why are we at a court house?"
"This is where we were today, come on." I followed him into the building we stopped at two large wooden doors, "Hello Gibbs," we turned around and a dark haired man stood there.
"Brent this is Judge Steve McGarrett."
"Hello sir"
"Brent come with me," he stood my hand and led me into the court room and my dad followed. "Now Brent go over and sit in the chair next to mine." I walked over and sat next to the Judges' chair and sat down.
"Dad..." he held up a finger and I closed my mouth. Then a blonde haired boy of about fourteen walked in. He walked over to Judge McGarrett, "Hey son," the boy stood in front of him facing us and he placed his hands on the boys shoulders. "Brent, Gibbs, this is my son Daniel William McGarrett. Danno why don't you go take a seat. He walked over and sat down in a chair by a table. Then Judge McGarrett said, "Now Brent you are sitting where Kate was sitting and Danny..."
Danny stood up, "I am Luka Alexander Lane," he said in a gruff voice, "father of Caitlyn Leigh Gibbs..."
I look over at my dad, "Dad what is this all about?"
He steps forward," Well son you wanted to know why we were here. Danny if you could." He walked over to me and handed me a piece of paper.
After he sat back in his seat Judge McGarrett said "Brent what does the paper say?"
I looked down unable to speak my mouth slightly open but not saying anything all I could do was stare down at the five letter word written in big red letters, ABUSE.
Kate POV
It was 2000 and everyone had left, I was sitting on the couch with mom and Spartan was on my lap, and Grandpa Jack was in the recliner across from us, "Hey mom, where's dad?" Right before she was about to answer the front door opened. My dad walked into the house followed by a red eyed Brent, Brent ran over to me and hugged me, "I'm so sorry Kat."
"Its ok squirt you didn't know."
Gibbs POV
I looked over at my wife, and she was glaring at me "Um... dad do yo mind taking the kids upstairs?"
"Sure Jethro, "He stood up stretching.
Kate smiled, "Grandpa can you tell us a story?"
"Sure kiddo," he led them upstairs followed by Spartan.
After they left Jenny grabbed my arm in a death grip and she dragged me down to our home office and she shut the door behind us. She turned, "Jesus Jet why did you have to tell him?"
"Jen he had a right to know."
"God damn it Jethro, he is only seven!" He face was red with anger.
"Jenny I am not some soulless bastard, I would never and I mean never tell him something that he couldn't handle. Come here sweetheart." She walked into my outstretched arms her eyes watering, I rubbed her back."
"I didn't mean to turn you into the bad guy."
"I know hun, now come on lets go upstairs.
