An other daughter

TIME FOR FAMILY...

Ten minutes later Gibbs stops the car infront of a big park.

It looks nice with its long meadows and picnic tables, a basketball court and a big fountain in the middle.

"Wow Gibbs, its really cool. Look at the fountain it's wonderful." Abby jumps out the car and almost knocks Tony over who exited Tims car at the same time.

"Hey Abby careful." he grumbles.

"Okay guys, everyone grab something from the trunk and follow me." Gibbs orders.

They grab all the things Gibbs packed and headed towards a secluded table. It is near a group of trees so they would have some privacy with all the families around them.

While the others set the table with food and drinks, Jasmine stands there with her arms crossed and her face in a stony expression.

"Jas, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strange all morning tell me whats wrong." McGee suddenly stops next to her and puts his arm around her shoulder.

Jasmine leans against him and rest her head on his shoulder. While Tony is the goofy, funny and imature older brother, McGee is more serious, caring and the one you could always count on to help you out with your problems.

"It's stupid and... and.. oh it's nothing really." the girl starts but decides against telling Tim.

"Jasmine whatever it is that is on your mind it is not stupid." McGee scolds slightly.

She only shrugs.

McGee squeezes her shoulder. "Now no more of that. Talk to me. I'm trying to help you here."

Jasmine swallows hard before speaking.

"This is supposed to be a family day but for me there is something missing for it to be complete."

"You talking about something or someone?" Tim asks pointetly.

"I hope I'm not that much to late. My appointment took longer than expected." a voice suddenly says behind them.

Jasmine whirls around, smiles brightly and hugs Jenny.

"Oh, I must have forgotten to mention that you were coming later Jen." Gibbs says grinning smugly at the young girl infront of him.

Jasmine glares at him. "That was mean, Gibbs."

"What..? I told you it was time for payback."

"Yeah but I thought... You know what forget it. The main thing is that now Jenny is here aswell. Now it's really a family day!" Jas states.

Gibbs ruffles her hair. He looks and winks at Jen, who blushs and smiles.

"Can we eat already, now that we're complet?" They could hear Tonys stomach rumble loudly. Everyone laughs and finds a place at the table.

"Hey Boss, this food surprisingly is really good" Tony compliments with his mouth full of chicken sandwich.

"Now what is that supposed to mean DiNozzo?" Gibbs growls playfully.

"Ahh.. you know.. it's just that I thought you would live on take out and bourbon." Tony stutters embarrassed.

Gibbs reachs over and SMACK. Tony rubs the back of his head, shrugging and grinning slyly.

Gibbs shakes his head also grinning. "There are many things you don't know about, DiNozzo."

After they ate Ziva, Tony and Jasmine head over to the basketball court to play for a little while. Abby and Tim stay at the table talking about new computer programs and Tims new book.

Gibbs and Jenny walk a bit down the path towards the fountain and sit down on the edge.

"It was a pretty good idea of you to come here today. A few relaxed hours is what the team needs after all the hard work they had to do over the last weeks and for Jasmine it's time spend like this that helps her overcome her grief." Gibbs states and watches his kids having a good time.

"I know but it's also nice for the two of us to get away from work and enjoy a bit of peace and freedom."
Right this moment the freedom was broken by Ziva shouting at Tony.

"Peace and freedom.. yeah right, but not with this brood around." Gibbs growls.

They watch as Tony and Ziva begin to wrestle with each other.

"Uh.. Jethro, I think you should intervene before she really hurts him." Jen looks concerned when Ziva pins Tony down and twists his arm painfully behind his back.

Gibbs stands up, shaking his head.

There is never a dull moment when you have kids. He thinks and jogs towards the basketball court to prevent Ziva from killing DiNozzo.
