A/N: I am so sorry for the long update, been stuck on how to continue this and exams next week. Sorry for any spelling mistakes etc.

Gibbs house:

When Gibbs and Kelly got up the stairs they were immediately met with two men shouting and cheering. They frowned at each other and walked into the living room, where they saw Tony and Jayson sitting on the couch, watching TV.

"What's going on in here?" Kelly asked, watching her brother and boyfriend smile.

"Football" they both answered, not taking their eyes off the TV.

Kelly rolled her eyes and looked at her brother "Do I not get a hello?" she said.

Tony, still watching the TV, waved at her "Hey".

Kelly raised her eyebrows and gave him a glare. She grabbed one of the pillows that was on the armchair and threw it at his head.

"HEY!" Tony said as he sends a glare at his sister.

"Teaches you not to ignore me like that again" she said.

Tony smiled as he got up and walked over to Kelly, pulling her in for a hug "I could never ignore you. Just annoy you".

Kelly smiled and returned the hug 'And you do that a lot' she thought to herself.

Then Tony suddenly felt a stinging pain in the back of his head. He pulled back and gave her a playful glare "I know I deserve that, but it's still not nice".

Kelly just smiled wider and turned to Jayson, who hadn't moved from his spot on the couch watching the TV "Seriously?".

Tony laughed and looked at the TV, Justas they scored "Yes!" he shouted, along with Jayson.

Gibbs watched the siblings and sighed. He then turned to Shannon who was smiling at him.

He smiled back and walked over to her.

"Our little family" Shannon said as she leant her head on Gibbs's shoulder.

"When is Anthony going to find someone?" she asked, thinking out loud.

Gibbs shrugged with the shoulder Shannon wasn't leaning on "I think he might have already".

Shannon smiled "He told you that?".

"No" Gibbs shook his head.

"Gut feeling?" she smiled and he nodded.

"Something like that".

When dinner was cooked they set the table and sat down. They talked about Jayson's new job as a metro cop, Kelly's as a vet and anything else that came to mind.

Once dinner was done Kelly and Jayson watched the game with Gibbs while Tony and Shannon did the dishes.

"How are things, Anthony?" Shannon asked as she started washing the plates.

"There're good. How about things with mamma bear?" Tony asked, picking up a tea towel.

"Manageable" Shannon smiled and Tony gave a small chuckle.

"There is one thing that is bothering me" she said after a minute's comfortable silence.

"What's that?" Tony asked.

Shannon stopped what she was doing and turned to Tony "Your undercover mission".

Tony sighed and leant against the counter "Dad told you about that".

"Kind of" she answered and Tony frowned. "He was distracted so I asked him and he told me about it" she explained to him.

"I'll be fine" Tony said.

Shannon walked over to him and put her hands on either side of his face "I know. I'm just scared" she paused "You and your father have dangerous jobs, and I'm scared that one day you're both going to walk out of the house and never come back" she admitted, her voice full of sadness.

Tony put his hands on her shoulders "It takes a lot to kill me and dad, you know that".

And Shannon did. She remembered all of the times that either Tony or Gibbs had come close to dying. Plague, bullets, torcher, drowning, stabbings. Everything.

"I'm still scared though. So is your sister. When you and your father went to Iraq years ago, Kelly came round and we sat on the couch for hours, just talking about you two and memories" Shannon said "Praying you'd both come home safe".

Tony pulled her into a hug "I promise that I will be safe".

"I love you" Shannon said, hugging him tighter.

"I love you too mum".

Shannon pulled back and gave Tony a smile "Now, call Kelly and Jayson in here so they can help me with the rest of the kitchen, while you go and talk to your father".

Tony frowned, confused but went anyway.

"Kelly, Jayson, you are needed in the kitchen"

"I thought you were doing the kitchen?" Kelly said, even though she was getting up, Jayson following.

"I guess we are taking turns".

Kelly sighed and grabbed Jayson's arm, pulling him away from the TV.

Tony went and sat down on the couch next to Gibbs.

"So" he said "About earlier in MTAC why didn't you say anything?".

Gibbs sighed "So this is why she kicked you out the kitchen".

"Don't avoid the question" Tony replied.

Gibbs shrugged "Vance had everything under control".

"You've never cared that's he's had control before" Tony said.

"You're too good at undercover" Gibbs said and Tony frowned.

"What?" he asked.

"As soon as Vance called me into MTAC this morning and explained the case, I knew it was going to be you. You're the best at undercover, it's almost scary" Gibbs admitted.

"But I've been on many other undercover missions before and you've never been like this" Tony said.

Gibbs looked over at Tony "I don't like you going undercover, but this one, I really don't like".

Tony sighed "Why? I'm just bidding to get some files".

"But you're bidding against dangerous people" Gibbs sighed out.

"I can take care of myself" Tony said "I'll make a promise that I will be careful. Plus, you're watching my six, so I'm going to be fine".

Gibbs looked at his son and pressed his lips together.

TBC…
