They're back!
Here we go! Chapter One! Enjoy :-)
I DO NOT own NCIS or anything related to it.
"Wake up, Daddy!"
Tony laid in bed staring straight at the ceiling, unmoved as his three year old twin sons look down on him.
"He not sheep, Alex! He eyes open!" said Aiden as he leaned on Tony's chest looking into his eyes.
"He is sheep, Aiden!"
"No he not! Daddy's eyes open!"
"If he no sheep, why he no wake up?"
"I no know? Is Mommy sheep?"
Alex leaned over Kate's sleeping form. "Yeah, Mommy sheep!"
"When they wake up?"
Alex shrugged his shoulders before a slick smile crossed his face.
"What?"
"I know how to wake up, Daddy!"
"No Alex! He get mad last time we put crayons in his nose!"
"I no put crayons in his nose, Aiden! Come on!" said Alex as he dragged his brother out of their parents' bed and towards the bathroom.
A few minutes later, the two boys returned to their father's side of the bed. Alex carried a small cup of water in his hand.
"Alex, no! Daddy gonna be mad!"
Alex climbed back into the bed and sat on his father's chest, cup of water still in hand. A grin crossed his face as he lifted the cup over Tony's head.
"Alexander Anthony DiNozzo, you pour that cup of water on me and you won't watch Yo Gabba Gabba for a week!" scolded Tony, in a groggy voice, still unmoved.
"I told you he no sheeping!" replied Aiden.
"I wasn't gonna pour it on you, Daddy! I thirsty!" replied Alex as he quickly pulled the cup to his mouth to drink.
Tony blinked his eyes as he started to wake up. "Sure you were?" said Tony, taking the cup from his son. "Why are you up?"
"I no want to go to school Daddy!"
"You woke me up to tell me you don't want to go to school."
"Yeah!"
Tony looked at Aiden. "Why are you up? You don't want to go to school either?"
Aiden yawned, rubbing his eyes. "I want to go. Alex wake me up!"
"Why did you wake up your brother?" yawned Tony.
"Because," sighed Alex.
"Because is not an answer."
"Because I no sheepy no more!"
"So you woke up your brother?"
"Yeah!"
"You're going to school!"
"Why?" whined Alex as he rested his head on his arms that dug into Tony's chest. "Why we no can stay home?"
"Because," winced Tony, shifting under Alex's weight. "Your Mommy and I have to work and there is no one to watch you guys."
"Ms. Becky can watch us?"
"Ms. Becky decided to go back to college which is why you and your brother go to daycare now."
"But I no want to go!"
"But daycare fun, Alex! We learnt letters and numbers and colors!" exclaimed Aiden.
"I no want to learn letters and numbers! I want to watch TV and play!" groaned Alex. "Can we go to work with you and Mommy?"
Tony laughed as he ran his fingers through his son's spikey dark brown hair. "You're going to daycare."
Alex let out a loud groan as he rolled off of Tony, landing between him and Kate, hitting Kate in the head in the process.
"Ow!" exclaimed Kate, groggy.
"Sorry Mommy!" apologized Alex as he rested his body on her shoulder looking her in the face. "You still sheep, Mommy?"
"Not anymore, Alex!" yawned Kate as she sat up and wrapped her son into a hug, kissing him on the head causing him to laugh. "I'm missing one!"
Aiden smiled as he ran to Kate's side, jumping into her arm to receive a hug and kiss from Kate like his brother. "Morning Mommy!"
"Morning baby! How did you two sleep?"
"Alex wake me up!"
Kate looked at Alex. "Why do you keep waking up your brother?"
Alex shrugged his shoulders. "I no know? Mommy, I no want to go school today."
"Alex we talked about this. You and your brother have to go to daycare."
Alex crossed his arms over his tiny chest and pouted. "But I no want to go!"
"You don't have a choice."
Tony looked at the clock. "It's 6:30. Why don't you two pick the clothes you want to wear today?"
"Okay," said the twins in unison as they hopped out of the bed.
"And Alex, you have to wear pants!" shouted Kate.
"Aww!" whined the three year old from a distance.
Tony wrapped Kate in his arms and kissed her. "What happened to the mornings when the alarm clock woke us up?"
"We had three kids," joked Kate.
"Oh, yeah!" laughed Tony as he kissed Kate again. "Gotta admit having the kids around makes things a lot more interesting? Maybe we should have another one?"
Tony and Kate began to kiss each other passionately until the sound of "Mommy" coming from their daughter's room interrupted them.
"I don't think so!" smile Kate.
Arissa stormed into Kate and Tony's room, clearly not pleased, while Alex and Aiden followed right on her heels. "Mommy, the Monkeys are jumping on my bed!"
"Don't call your brothers monkeys, Rissa!"
"They act like monkeys!"
"No we don't! Monkeys act like this…"
Alex and Aiden began to jump up and down making sounds like that of a monkey.
"See?" questioned Arissa.
"Alex and Aiden I told you to go get your clothes not wake up your sister!" scolded Tony.
"Rissy go to school too, Daddy!" exclaimed Alex.
"Yeah, but she doesn't need to wake up yet!"
"Yeah, you little Monkeys! I'm still supposed to be sleep!"
"Wake up Rissy! Time for school!" exclaimed Aiden, jumping up and down.
"Mommy!" groaned the now seven year old. "Make them stop!"
Kate looked at Tony. "And you want another one!"
Tony smiled as he rolled out of bed. "Okay, you two! Clothes, now!"
Alex and Aiden ran out the room laughing while Tony followed behind them. Arissa flopped down in the bed, wrapping her arm around Kate.
Arissa yawned. "Can I sleep here a little longer, Mommy?"
"Sure. But only for a little while I don't want you to be late for school."
"Okay," replied Arissa before she wrapped herself in her parents covers, quickly drifting back to sleep.
Kate gave Arissa a kiss on the cheek before sliding out of bed to help Tony with their sons.
Three years had brought with it many changes for NCIS agents Anthony DiNozzo and Caitlin Todd. Once simple coworkers, the pair had been married for two and a half years. They had welcomed into the world twin sons, Alexander Anthony and Aiden Todd DiNozzo, and adopted their daughter Arissa after a nine month ordeal.
Kate and Tony had settled into life as a couple and as a family. Now a family of five, Tony and Kate were forced to give up their apartments and move into a modest sized single family home, big enough to support their growing family.
Kate stepped into Aiden and Alex's room, to find them rummaging through their drawers with Tony.
"Daddy can I wear this?" asked Aiden holding up a black and red Superman shirt.
"Those are pajamas," replied Tony.
"Oh."
Kate laughed. "Rissa is sleep in our room, let her rest a bit before you wake her up, Tony."
"We wake Rissy up, Mommy!" said Alex.
"I know. She isn't too happy about that!"
"Rissy mad at us, Mommy?" asked Aiden.
"No but let your Daddy wake her up this time."
"Okay," replied the twins.
Kate left the room and headed downstairs to start breakfast. Tony got Alex and Aiden ready and dressed before he walked into his room to find his daughter sprawled out in his bed.
"Arissa! Time to get up," said Tony as he ventured into his and Kate's walk in closet to get something to wear.
Arissa let out a loud groan as she buried her head under a pillow.
"Rissa!"
Arissa said nothing.
Tony stepped out the closet and smiled at the sight of Arissa buried underneath the covers and pillow. "Okay, if you don't want to get up, I guess I'll have to send the tickle monster in after you!" Tony jumped onto the bed tickling his daughter who erupted in laughter under the covers.
"Okay! Okay! I'm up!" laughed Arissa as she emerged for under the covers.
Tony smiled as she stared at his daughter. Though she wasn't their biological daughter, he couldn't get over just how much Arissa looked like Kate. She always favored her a bit but it seemed like after they adopted her, Arissa really started to look like Kate.
"Hi Daddy!"
"Morning sweetie! Time for school!"
Arissa yawned. "Okay."
Before she was able to get out the bed, Arissa was attacked by Alex and Aiden.
"Monkeys!"
"Morning Rissy!" smiled Aiden.
"Rissy, are you mad at us?" asked Alex.
"Why would I be mad at you?" asked Arissa.
"Mommy say we make you mad cause we wake you up," replied Aiden.
"You wake me up every day, I'm used to it."
"So you no mad?" asked Alex.
"No," replied Arissa as she started to tickle her brothers.
"Okay, okay! That's enough you three! We gotta get going! Arissa go brush your teeth, I'll put your clothes on your bed. Mommy will have breakfast ready soon," spat Tony as the three kids dispersed to get ready.
Downstairs, Kate sat three plates on the table as Tony and the kids filed down the stairs.
"Okay, eat up! We are out the door in thirty minutes!" said Kate.
"Up Daddy!" exclaimed Alex, raising his arms in the arm for Tony to help him into his booster chair at the table.
"Me too, Daddy!" exclaimed Aiden.
Arissa took her seat between her two brothers. As soon as they sat down to eat, Alex began to take eggs off Arissa's plate while Aiden helped himself to her blueberries, gobbling them down, not even look at their own food.
"Mommy! Alex and Aiden are eating my breakfast!" complained Arissa.
"Hey! Eat your own breakfast!" scolded Kate as she sat down with her kids.
"But Rissy breakfast better!" whined Alex, taking more eggs from Arissa's plate and putting them in his mouth.
"You have the same thing."
Alex let out a sigh as he started to eat his own food.
"Why do I have brothers? Why couldn't I have a sister?"
"Ask your Dad," smirked Kate as she scrapped some of her breakfast onto Arissa's plate to make up for what Alex and Aiden ate.
Aiden tried to sneak another blueberry from Arissa's plate resulting in her lightly slapping him in the back of the head.
"Rissy hit me!" exclaimed Aiden, rubbing his head.
"Arissa, don't hit your brother!" replied Kate.
Tony took a piece of bacon off of Kate's plate which she quickly followed with a slap to the back of his head.
"I see where she gets it from!" replied Tony.
"Everyone eat their own breakfast!" exclaimed Kate.
After getting their kids feed, Tony and Kate got themselves ready for work, while Arissa and her brothers enjoyed some cartoons in the family room.
"Aiden! Alex! Get your shoes!" shouted Tony, as he ran down the stairs, grabbing his stuff.
"We ready, Daddy!" replied Alex.
Tony walked into the family room to find his sons sitting on the floor watching television with their backpacks on. The only problem was Alex was wearing two left shoes and Aiden was wearing two right shoes.
"Boys, you're wearing the wrong shoes!"
"No we not Daddy! See we got two shoes!" smiled Aiden.
"You have on two of the same shoes," laughed Tony. "Alex give Aiden one of your shoes, Aiden give Alex one of yours!" ordered Tony.
The boys attempted to switch shoes, unsuccessful.
"Here, let me help you," offered Arissa as she kneeled down to help her brothers.
"Kate, what are you doing?" shouted Tony.
"I'm ready!" exclaimed Kate as she joined her family.
"Everyone in the car!" ordered Tony as he shuffled his family out the door.
Now a father of three, owning a Corvette was no longer practical for Tony so he traded in his "baby" for a midsized SUV big enough to fit his family.
Arissa and Aiden jumped into the SUV with no hesitation, ready to conquer the day but Alex wasn't so willing.
"Come on buddy, we gotta go," said Tony as he buckled Aiden into his booster seat.
"I no want to go!" protested Alex.
Tony looked to Kate for help.
"Alex, come on! We have to go!" said Kate.
"I no want to go!" stomped Alex.
"That one's your twin!" snapped Tony.
Kate cut her eyes at Tony. "Alex, baby, please would you get in the car?"
"No!"
Tony let out a frustrated sigh before picking up Alex, kicking and screaming and strapping him into his booster seat. "I'm sorry, buddy, but we gotta go!"
Tony pulled the SUV up in front of Arissa's elementary school.
"Alright, Arissa! You're stop!" said Tony.
Arissa got up out of her seat and made her way to the front of the SUV where she gave her parents a hug and kiss. "Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy! Love you!"
"Love you too, sweetie!" replied Tony and Kate as Arissa got out the car.
"Rissy! Rissy! What about us?" asked Aiden arms reaching out to his sister.
Arissa smiled as she got back in the car to hug and kiss her brothers. "Love you, Monkeys!"
"Love you!" replied Alex and Aiden as Arissa closed the door and ran off towards the school entrance.
"Daddy, why we no can go to school with Rissy?" asked Alex.
"You didn't even want to go to your own school," replied Tony.
"But I want to go to school with Rissy!"
Kate and Tony laughed at her son's comments as they pulled off to drop the twins at daycare.
The DiNozzos arrived at the daycare and walked into the all too familiar blue classroom.
"Well look who it is!" exclaimed a way too perky blonde woman accompanied by a just as perky blonde man.
"Hi, Ms. Jackie! Hi, Mr. Robbie!" waved the twins.
"Hey boys! How are you this morning?" asked Robbie with way too much energy.
"We okay, Mr. Robbie! You drink Caf-Pow this morning?" asked Alex.
Robbie looked at Tony.
Tony let out a nervous laugh. "Kids say the darnest things!"
"And so do their parents!" replied Robbie.
"Mommy, I want to go play!" said Aiden.
"Okay, give me kiss," said Kate as she wrapped her son into a hug giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I want kiss too, Mommy," said Alex as he hugged Kate and got a kiss from her too.
"Hey, what about me?" said Tony.
The boys jumped into their father's arms giving him a big hug.
"You two have a good day," said Tony putting the boys down as they ran off to join the other kids in the class.
Kate and Tony watched their sons play for a while before leaving the classroom.
"School done!" exclaimed Tony as he and Kate got into their SUV.
"We can actually make it to work on time today," replied Kate.
Tony looked in the backseat and saw a bright pink lunch bag staring back at him. Tony reached back and picked up the lunch bag. "Rissa forgot her lunch!"
Kate rolled her eyes. "Gibbs is gonna kill us!"
