7:30am
It was Friday morning and had been a very long week for everyone in the Gibbs' household.
Jenny stood over the cooker making breakfast. Unlike her 13 year old son Tony, who was still in his Pjs half asleep at the table, Jenny was dressed and awake.
Gibbs who had just finish getting ready for his long day, hadn't yet completely the most dangerous task of the day, waking up his stubborn four year old.
He quietly opened the door and slipped into the purple room that belong to his daughter after she demanded they paint over the pink walls, he smiled at the memory of his little girl giving him a stare that could rival his own.
He bent down at the top of the bed next to Abby's head and gently stroked her hair away from her face.
"Abby" He shook her slightly but she didn't even stir "Princess"
"Hmm" She mumbled turning over so quickly her little fist hit his shoulder
Instead of spending the next hour trying to wake her like yesterday, he pulled her duvet back and lifted her out so she was resting on his hip
"Daaaaddddddyyyyy!" She whined in his ear "Sleepy time!"
"No, not sleepy time any more, Abbs"
"But Daaaaddddddyyyyy!"
Gibbs just chuckled at her as she made a small huffing noise in his ear, he got to the top of the stairs, took a few steps back and sprinted, waking the small child up suddenly
"No! Daddy! No run!" He came to a halt at the kitchen door
"Jethro" Jenny smiled "You know she doesn't like that"
"Woke her up, didn't it?" He grinned and kissed Jenny's cheek before placing Abby in her high chair and kissing her forehead, which automatically changed her pout into a smile as she giggled at her dad. Tony lifted his head off the table to smile at his dad and little sister but then let it slam on to the table
"Ow!" Tony complained which cause him to be head slapped by his dad
"Be careful, dumb ass"
"Yeah dumb ass!" Abby laughed at her brother
"Abby!" Jenny and Gibbs shouted simultaneously causing Abby's eyes to fill with tears
"Oh no" Gibbs muttered
"Baby, it's ok, please don't cry, mummy didn't mean to yell, but that is a very naughty word that little girl don't use" Jenny said smoothing Abby hair down and placing her porridge in front of her.
"Can't I have pancakes, mummy?"
"Not today, Abbs" Gibbs replied as he turned around to grab his coffee
"Pancakes! Dumb ass!" Abby shouts while throwing the bowl at the back of her dad's head and successfully hitting her target
"Bullseye!" Tony cheered ruffling his sister's hair as she smiled
"Abby!" Jenny said in mock seriousness while covering her mouth with her hand to hold back her laughter where as Abby was killing herself laughing
"You think this is funny, young lady?" Gibbs question while moving to stand in front of the laughing toddler "Do ya?" He suddenly began tickling her and covering her in porridge
"Daddy!" Abby giggled, wiggling around in her seat "Stop it!" the only thing that ruined this happy moment was the phone ringing loudly
"I'll get it, Jen" Gibbs smiled as he picked the phone up
"Gibbs" Gibbs barked winking at Abby who was watching him with big green cat-like eyes
"Probie, drop the attitude, geez"
"Franks? Long time, no see"
"It's been busy, what did you want me to call everyday like I do with ma mother"
"Well no" Gibbs chuckled
"How's the family? Jenny and Tony?"
"New addition Franks, we've got a four year old now"
"Really? You've been busy?" Franks laughed
"Yeah, little girl- Abigail, just don't call her that, she's got in the habit of ignoring you if you call her Abigail instead of Abby"
"Well she defiantly your kid, Probie, You two have always wanted a girl"
"Yeah, Jen had a rough time with her, can't have any more children"
"Actually that is why I called"
"Gonna tell me ya pregnant, Franks"
"I've got a 7 year old girl in need of a home" Frank said suddenly very serious
"Oh"
"I just though that Jenny and you always wanted a little girl and...Probie she hasn't got any one else"
"I'll have to speak to Jen first before any decisions are made, where are you anyway?"
"Tel-Aviv"
"Oh does she speak any English cause that could be a little difficult Franks"
"She's fluent English and Sign language I think, personally I don't speak it but that seems to be her only of coping with her loss"
"I will talk to Jen and call you back Franks speak to you later"
"Bye Probie"
Gibbs was confused and wasn't sure they could cope with another child in the house.
"Jen we need to talk now, Tony take Abby upstairs and get her changed please while your mum and me talk"
"K dad will do" Tony swiftly picked up his sister and exited the room
"Tony" Abby whispered
"What Abs?"
"I wanna listen"
"Fine but be quiet if we get caught where toast"
Jenny sat down looking confused what was causing her husbands internal battle
"What's wrong Jethro?"
"Franks called there's a 7 year old girl in Tel-Aviv in desperate need for a home Jen, he asked if we'd take her she was no-one left and he knew that we wanted a little girl desperately and that we had gave up hope till our little miracle Abby came along"
"Jethro, does she speak English and is she healthy to travel?"
"Yeah she's fine I think she'd be the perfect addition and end to our little family a big sister for Abs and another sibling for Tony"
"Jethro we have lots of room lets give it ago"
"I love you Jen, your amazing"
"I love you too, but your breaking the news to are munch-kins"
"Don't have to Jen there listening at the door"
"Damn! Dad has hearing like a hawk" Tony moaned all Gibbs could do was chuckle at Abby's next statement
"Run...Run...Run Tony I don't wanna go in the toaster"
