"What's that?" Abby said as she walked up behind Tony.

"Nothing." Tony said quickly, trying to flip the paper over before she could read it.

"Let me see it." Abby demanded, Tony sighed knowing that arguing would be fruitless.

Abby's eyes scanned the paper as she read the poem Tony had just written. Tears started to form in her eyes. She looked over to Tony and gave him a big hug. " I didn't know that you wrote poetry." Abby whispered into his ear as she sat on his lap.

"Poetry is the way I can release my emotions without physically doing so." Tony said shrugging.

"What made you want to write this?" Abby said looking at Tony with curiosity.

"Well, um" Tony said hesitating, "today is the 7th Anniversary of her death."

"Oh My God." Abby said loudly. "I totally forgot about what today is."

"What's today?" McGee's innocent voice asked.

"It's the anniversary of the day that Kate died." Abby said quietly. McGee stopped in his tracks and looked over at them and then realization dawned.

"It is." McGee said looking sad.

"It is what, McGee?" Gibbs asked startling all of them.

"It's the day Kate died." McGee said after taking a deep breath.

Gibbs paused and looked at them, "I forgot, so who remembered?"

"It was Tony." Abby said still sitting on Tony's lap. "He wrote this really beautiful poem." Abby got off of said mans lap and handed Gibbs the poem.

Gibbs read the poem, and he read the poem again, then he handed it to McGee. Gibbs looks at Tony, "That's good, DiNozzo."

Abby hugged Gibbs "I miss her, still."

"I do to." Gibbs said quietly.

Tony looked at McGee and saw that he had tears in his eyes. Tony stood up and put a hand on his shoulder. "You OK, Tim?"

McGee looked at Tony and nodded. "The poem is really beautiful."

Ziva walked in to see Abby being hugged by Gibbs, Tony had his hand on McGee's shoulder.

"Is something wrong?" Ziva asked as she entered the bull pin.

They all jumped at the sound of her voice, they looked around. Gibbs finally spoke up, "There's nothing wrong." Gibbs walked over to his desk.

The others followed suit,Ziva looked at everyone. Abby went back and sat on Tony's lap again. Tim handed the paper back to Tony, Ziva eyed the paper.

She quickly snatched the paper up and scanned it quickly. Everyone watched, she looked up and asked confused. "Who is this about? I don't know about any person you guys were close to dying recently."

She looked at Tony, "Who was it?" Tony looked uncomfortable.

"Well," I don't know what to say. I don't want her to think that she isn't part of our little family, Tony thought, "Well, It's about Kate." Tony finally mumbled.

She looked at them, realizing the date, "Oh." She said, then walked towards her desk. She started up her computer and got to work.

"Get up Abby. I have something I have to do." Abby looked at Tony confused, but got up. She went over to McGee and started talking to him

Tony bent his head as he got out a piece of paper.

Even though it's been 7 years

I still remember everything about her

She is still in my heart

We all think about her every once and a while

It's not as hard as it was before

We knew she would have wanted us to go on

There is someone else there now

We all care about her a lot more then she thinks

We are willing to die for her

The other one left a gap

Though this new one has filled the gap

We all know that she will be here for us.

I don't normally say this aloud

It's just an agreement that we all understand it

But our team is our family

Maybe she is gone now

Though we have someone

She is just as special

Thanks for filling the gap

We all trust you

We all love you

If you agree sign your name down below:

Anthony DiNozzo

Tony put the pencil down, stood up, and handed Gibbs the piece of paper. Gibbs read it and signed it and handed it back to Tony. Tony went over to Abby and McGee, and handed it to them. They both read it and signed it.

Tony looked down, he then walked towards the elevator and went down. Tony rode the elevator down to Autopsy.

"Hey, Ducky." Tony called out. "I was wondering if you would read this and sign it if you agree?"

Ducky looked up a bit confused by Tony's question. " Sure, Anthony." Ducky read the poem and saw the signatures. "Has it really been 7 years?"

"Yeah, I wrote another poem about how much we all miss her." Tony said looking down, "Though Ziva came in and read it and realized. I want to prove to her that we care about her too."

"Of course." Ducky said as he signed it.

"Hey Jimmy." Tony said as he walked in to Autopsy. "Will you read and sign this?"

"OK." Jimmy said and he read it and signed it immediately.

Tony nodded to them and left autopsy and went back into the elevator. He looked at the bottom of the poem and it now read:

If you agree sign your name down below:

Anthony DiNozzo

Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Timothy McGee

Abigail Scuito

Donald "Ducky" Mallard

Jimmy Palmer

Tony smiled, I hope that this makes her feel like family. Tony stepped off the elevator and walked back over to Gibbs. He smiled and showed the poem to him again. Gibbs smiled back to him. Then the doors to the elevator dinged and Ducky and Palmer came out and came out and walked over to Tony.

Tony smiled and Abby, McGee, and Gibbs stood with the others and they walked to Ziva's desk. She looked up and Tony smiled and handed her the paper. She read it and she smiled as her eyes shined with unshed tears.

"We do miss Kate." Abby said, "But you are still very important to this family."

"Thanks." Ziva said and smiled at them.

Gibbs phone rang and he answered. He hung up and said "Gear up, we have a dead Marine in Norfolk."

They grabbed their gear and their dysfunctional family was better then ever.

Hope you liked it. I wasn't going to post this till the day when the episode aired when Kate died, but I forgot the date so I decided to post it now. I'm not completely sure how many years it has been, so I just choose 7.

I hope you guys like what I did with the first poem, using things from the story to tell the story a bit. Hope you enjoyed this. :)
