A/N: So sorry for not updating in forever, but my computer has bit the dust and I have been moving all my stuff onto flash drives and onto Google Docs. then have to write, which is time consuming in itself, especially when there hasn't been inspiration for the story. And on that note, this story is reaching its end. I forsee writing Quinn's 18th birthday and maybe a few more tidbits, so if you want to see anything in this story, written, let me know in a review. Review anyway if it tickles your fancy.

An Unknown Child

91

Tony took the next night and came early as it was Saturday and he only had a half day. So he and Naomi watched Lilly as Quinn went to her final two interviews. They went well, not as well as the one at the craft store. She hoped she got at least one of them, she could handle getting two. She'd find out next week sometime. She was glad her parents would be back and taking a week to adjust to being in DC again before returning to work. They would be her support when she got the phone calls telling her if she got the job.

She and Tony ordered pizza and gorged themselves while a movie marathon played in the background while they ate and played Trivial Pursuit, both evenly matched. Naomi stayed and held Lilly in her arms while watching the two of them with amusement. When Lilly was firmly asleep she went upstairs and tucked her in, passing a droopy-eyed Tony on the stairs as he headed for the guest room and Quinn waited to kiss her cheek before seeking her own bed, the monitor by her head incase Lilly should start crying and not wake Tony up.

She didn't have to worry, Lilly slept through the night and was bright eyed and stinky when Quinn entered the next morning. She left the room and had Tony change her diaper while Quinn made breakfast. Tony promised retribution for the stinky diaper, but Quinn just smiled at him along with Lilly and he melted.

"You two take the wind out my sails," he complained, through his breakfast.

"You love it Tony, admit it." Quinn laughed at him. "And you love being a big brother, don't even try to deny it." She added smiling at him, eating her own food. He shook his head, but listened and finished his food before taking off for the last Saturday before the bosses returned stateside and one more week of having Vance as Acting Director.

Naomi arrived shortly after and Quinn gave Lilly her bath while Naomi vacuumed the downstairs and did the dishes before handing the baby to the woman and showering herself. She kissed both cheeks before heading to the gym to work out for a few hours, just killing time until late that night when her mom and dad returned. She was being picked up by Jenny's detail from the townhouse and driving to the airport to pick them up.

She spent five hours in the gym before spending another two in the pool. She showered before leaving, stopping at a drive through and getting herself some food before heading home. When she was there she took Lilly downstairs and played a movie for her while she read one of her books, her phone set to go off when the guys should arrive.

They were five minutes late, but that was plenty of time for Quinn to complete a last minute diaper change before climbing into the town car and heading to the airport. She couldn't sit still and kept shifting her weight around in excitement. Lilly seemed to catch it and started moving to, babbling away as she tried to remove her shoe with no luck. She pouted until Quinn took it off for her and tickled her foot and played with her sister until they arrived at the airport.

Quinn put Lilly's shoe back on before getting her out of the car seat and handing her to Stanley before getting the diaper bag and her purse. She stepped out and Hector took both Lilly and her diaper bag, while Stanley took Quinn's arm and the four of them walked into the busy airport.

They first checked the arrivals board and found the plane they wanted was on schedule to land in 30 minutes, docking at a terminal on the other side of the concourse. So they traversed the concourse before arrived at the last security check point that her parents would come out of. Quinn handed Lilly to Stanley and started to pace. She wanted her parents, and she wanted them now.

The past two weeks were miserable. She had now renewed her silent vow to not have kids for a long, long time. Plus that big house was very quiet and lonely with only two people. She could see why her mom spent most of her time at work before getting back with Jethro. And then most of her time was spent at the house until they all moved into the townhouse. She glanced at her cell phone, seeing Kaia texted her, but she was too anxious to read or reply.

Her pacing didn't stop until Hector saw Jenny and Jethro and placed a hand on her shoulders. Quinn stopped and gave him a look that was entirely Jenny, and he nodded, pointed with his head behind her and she spun around faster than he thought she would.

They were walking hand-in-hand through the checkpoints, but weren't quite in the area where she could run to them so she held as still as possible and watched with a smile on her face. Hector's hand was still resting on her shoulder.

The past two weeks, on Jenny's end, had been wonderful but bittersweet. Her honeymoon was amazing. Jethro had done well when choosing this location. It was something new to the both of them, no old memories and time to make new ones. The people had been polite, the sights beautiful and the food delicious. They had a perfect balance of intimate time between the honeymooners and time to be a tourist.

But she had left two very important chunks of her heart here when she left. Her daughters. She missed both of them, and had vowed to never take a vacation or conferences that were two weeks long, without her daughters being with her. She had been jittery during most of the flight, anxious to hold both her girls in her arms. Jethro at one point hand to hold her hand and try to calm her down; though he too would be happy to be home with all of his girls.

Both had reasons for loving their honeymoon, many of them were the same, and both had reasons for wanting to be home, and many of those were also the same. And so they moved as fast as they could when the plane landed. After getting their bearings back and remembering which way to go, both moved towards the checkpoints and saw Quinn pacing just on the other side of the last checkpoint. Both Hector and Stanley were near her, Lilly in Stanley's arms as Quinn paced back and forth. They walked and watched as Stanley noticed them and got Quinn's attention, his arm turning into a reminder to wait until they crossed the last checkpoint.

Once they had, both Jethro and Stanley's hands were yanked almost to the point of pain as Quinn and Jenny sprinted the last few feet to each other. They were a tangle of limbs as they hugged, both breathing in the comforting smell of the other and relaxing, Quinn relaxed truly for the first time in two weeks to the smell, travel and all, of her mother.

Jethro moved over to Stanley and took Lilly from him. Lilly was babbling almost constantly and had both hands on her daddy's cheeks. Jethro took his baby and hugged her, smelling the precious scent of a baby she carried.

After a few minutes they switched and Jenny rained kisses all over her baby's cheeks while Jethro hugged Quinn tightly. No one noticed Hector move away, leaving them to get the baggage so they could go straight home without worrying.

When he returned with the two suitcases they had brought and the third they bought while over there, he was given a grateful smile from Jenny, who was on her way to the restroom to change a stinky diaper. Stanley followed her and stood outside while she was in and Hector stayed with the other two.

Jenny quickly changed Lilly's diaper before carrying her out of the bathroom and back to the others. Lilly, being a daddy's girl, wanted to be with Jethro; so Jenny kissed her a few more times before passing her to her daddy. Hector grabbed a trolley and loaded up the three suitcases with Quinn while Jethro shouldered the diaper bag. He wrapped his free arm around Jenny's waist while Jenny threw hers around his waist and Quinn's shoulder.

The family of four walked out of the airport, Stanley in the lead while Hector trailed behind with the luggage trolley. The three men dealt with the luggage before Hector passed the trolley to a returning employee while the girls got in the town car and Jenny settled Lilly into her car seat. Jethro climbed in and sat next to his wife and middle child as Hector joined Stanley in the front as they headed for home.

Finally relaxed, Quinn remembered the text from Kaia she had gotten earlier. She fished out her phone and pulled the message up. It was an image of her tattoo. The tat had started to peel and some of the color was definitely missing. Kaia would have a hell of a time getting it touched up in a few weeks, but from what was still there; it was worth it. Jenny looked over her daughter's shoulder and saw the image before Quinn hit the 'reply' button.

She read the reply over her daughter's shoulder before Quinn put the phone away and rested her head on her mother's shoulder.

"My god, I missed you guys," she murmured and Jenny smiled while Jethro chuckled.

"We both missed you both too." Jenny replied kissing the top of Quinn's head before hugging her. Quinn fell asleep and Jenny smiled, her hand moving through the locks of her daughter, while her other hand played with her baby's tummy and feet.

When they turned onto their street, Lilly had joined her sister in slumber and Jenny left her hand resting on her tummy while she looked over at her husband over Quinn's head. He smiled at her before leaning in and kissing her softly.

There was no other place they wanted to be then home with their girls.
