Story Notes:
This came to me while watching the movie 'Chasing Liberty' which Mark Harmon (Gibbs) has a 18 year old daughter.I thought it fit well. I know what its like to have a step mum, thankfully she isn't an 'evil' step mum, but i made Kate what i would have wanted my step mum to be like.
Author's Chapter Notes:
Nothing is harder then bringing up a teenage daughter,especially if your a thrice divorced dad.That's why you need a woman around.
Kate is at her desk, biting on her thumb nail. She had finished her paperwork half an hour ago and was now racking her brain trying to put together a shopping list. Tony looked up and saw the pained expression on her face.
“Writing a break-up letter, Kate?” he snickered leaning back in his chair.
“No, shopping list actually” she replied. Tony was about to reply when a young woman with light brown hair started coming their way.
“Would you check her out? What I wouldn’t give to be 21 again” he said, still staring at the brunette. Kate shook her head at Tony’s comment and turned to see who he was talking about. Kate froze as the young brunette came to a stop in front of her desk.
“We need to talk” she said quickly.
“Uh” Kate stammered and looked over at Tony, who was now paying close attention to their conversation.
“Come with me” Kate finally said stepping out from behind her desk, grabbed the brunettes hand and dragged her to the ladies room.
“ Keel, what are you doing here? You know you father want you nowhere near here” Kate started.
“ I know n dim sorry, but I need some help and it couldn’t wait ‘til you got home” Kelly started to explain. Kate went to reply but Kelly cut her off.
“ And over the phone was not an option”. Kate let out a sigh.
“ Ok, you have my attention”. Kelly dug into her bag and pulled out her iPhone and handed it to Kate.
“ It’s from Josh. It’s our one year anniversary this weekend and he is…ready” Kelly tried to explain. Kate finished reading the message.
“ I see. I’m guessing the reason you are here is that your still a “.
“ Yes. It hasn’t been a big thing for me until now and I’m still not sure if I’m ready” Kelly told her openly. They had only known each other for a year and six months, but they are so open with each other.
“ Oh honey it’s hard to know” Kate was interrupted by the door opening and an agent came in.
“ I think this should wait til we get home” Kate said noting their not so private room.
“ But you get home so late and he wants an answer tonight”.
“ Well, if I can convince my boss, I’ll leave early” Kate said ushering Kelly out of the ladies room.
“ Believe me he doesn’t need much convincing when it comes to you Kate” Kelly said with a grin.
“ Just how much does he tell you?”.
***
“ That’s her. The brunette with Kate” tony said standing up and pointing to the elevator. Both Gibbs and McGee turned to look at who Tony was talking about. Gibbs’ whole body froze.
“ She is very pretty” McGee commented. They watched Kate hug the brunette before she stepped into the elevator. Kate made her way back to the bull pen slowly, very aware of the three sets of eyes on her.
“ So who was that?” Tony said with a grin.
“ My niece and no she is not available” Kate said.
“ I didn’t ask” he defended himself.
“ But you were thinking it” McGee chimed in.
“ Probie, no one asked you” Tony said. Gibbs stepped forward.
“ Kate”. Kate turned to face him.
“ Everything ok?” he asked. Kate smiled.
“ Everything is fine Gibbs. But I do have to leave early”.
“ Why?” he shot back.
“ Because she needs some advice and I get home to late. She needs my help by tonight” Kate said, still with a smile.
“ Help her with what?” Gibbs pushed.
“ Well that’s private. So four is ok with you” Kate finished and sat down at her desk. She tried to ignore the stares she received, but the silence was deafening.
“ What?” she suddenly asked.
“ Nothing” the three men said in unison before going back to their desks. Gibbs gave Kate one more look before finally taking his seat.
*4:30pm*
“ Kelly” Kate called as she closed the door behind her,
“ In my room” came her reply. Kate took her coat and shoes off then made her way down the hall and found Kelly lying on her bed. Kate entered and sat on the side of the bed.
“ I told you dad will give you whatever you want” Kelly said with a laugh as she sat up.
“ I never doubted you. Now I’m guessing you have some questions” Kate started. Kelly nodded.
“ How old were you when you lost your virginity?” she asked. Kate gave a small laugh.
“ 17”.
“ But I thought you went to a Catholic school”.
“ I did. After a while my friends and I got bored with following the rules. We went to party’s and snuck into clubs. I loved to have fun” Kate said with a smile at the memories.
“ Do you regret it?” Kelly asked seriously.
“ No. Although we had been drinking we took it slow and we remembered it the next day. I don’t even remember his name” Kate looked at Kelly who still looked confused.
“ Kel, what I say cannot help you. You need to ask yourself, do you love him?”. Kelly was silent for a moment.
“ Yes”.
“ Is he pressuring you into doing this?”.
“ No. He only suggested it. He has never once done anything that I haven’t wanted. He didn’t want to rush things like everyone else”.
“ Have you ever had a reason not to trust him?”.
“ Never. He calls me every night to say goodnight and dad likes him so that a good thing” they both laughed. Gibbs was very protective, especially of his daughter. If he didn’t like one of her friends or the guy she was dating, she knew there was a good reason why and she eventually found out why.
“ The best thing for you to do is talk to him. See what he has planned and talk about how you feel, then you can make up your mind” Kate told her. Kelly nodded.
“ Ok”. Kate gave her a hug.
“ Now, you call Josh and I will find something for diner. When you’re done come find me and tell me all about it” Kate told her with a bright smile. Kate was about to get up from the bed but Kelly stopped her.
“ Kate wait”.
“ What is it?” she asked concerned that there was another problem. Kelly took a deep breath.
“ I just wanted thank you. For everything. For making my dad happy and for being here for me” Kelly said. She looked up at Kate and could see the starts of tears in her eyes.
“ Kel, why do you have to be so sweet” Kate said as she brought Kelly in for a big hug.
“ I really mean it Kate. You’re like my second mum and I can’t thank you enough for being here for me and my dad” Kelly kept saying, the words just spilling out of her mouth. She really did like Kate but never got around to telling her.
“ You don’t need to thank me. I love being here with you and your dad and I wouldn’t change a thing. You and Jet are the best things that has ever happened to me” Kate tells her taking Kelly into another hug. She finally pulled back.
“ Now you call your boyfriend and when you’re done I want all the details, ok?” she said with a smile. Kelly nodded with a little chuckle.
“ Of course”. Kate left, closing the door behind her. She took a deep breath and exhaled trying to calm herself. If it wasn’t for her complete self-control she would have cried her heart out at Kelly’s words. She made her way to the kitchen to get a start on diner, if there was any food left in the house as she didn’t get around to doing the shopping. She grabbed some chicken breast out of the freezer and some potatoes from the cupboard. She check the fridge and found enough vegetables for a small salad.
“ Crumbed chicken and potato bake it is” she says to herself. She thaws out the chicken and is about to crumb it when her phone rings. She checks the caller ID ‘Jet’.
“ Hey you” she greets happily.
“ Is everything ok?” he asks.
“ Everything is fine. Are you on your way home yet?” she asks piling the potatoes into the sink ready to be washed.
“ Yeah I’m leaving now. Do you need anything?” he asks. He wouldn’t normally ask, but ever since Kate moved in he has changed his ways. Living with a teenage daughter was great but having another woman in the house is even better. There is just so much love in the house.
“ Uh, could you grab some milk, bread and maybe something to drink” she asks.
“ Sure. Be home soon”.
“ Love you”.
“ Love you too” he replies then hangs up. Kate can’t help but smile. She loves hearing him say those words. It took him a year before he could say it without almost choking on them. He just didn’t want to open his heart and have it broken again. But now he is as open as he can be, only in the family home of course.
Kate starts on the chicken and has them on the tray ready to go in the oven with the potato bake when it was ready.
“ Kate” she heard Kelly exclaim happily.
“ In the kitchen” she called back. Kate couldn’t help the smile spread across her face as Kelly bounded into the kitchen.
“ I officially have the best boyfriend in the world” she told Kate happily.
“ I take it he has a very romantic day planned for Saturday” Kate said.
“ One of the best” Kelly stopped as she saw Kate trying to get everything ready for diner.
“ Do you want some help?” she asks. Kate stops and looks around the kitchen.
“ Uh could you wash and peel the potatoes in the sink?” she pointed as she dug around in the cupboard for the potato bake sauce.
“ Sure. Ok so we are having dinner with his family Friday night, then on Saturday he is making me breakfast in bed, taking me to the art gallery” Kelly started.
“ I didn’t think he liked art?” Kate asked as she pulled out a deep dish.
“ Well he doesn’t, but he wants to take me there because I love it. After that he wants to grab some fish and chips and eat them by the river. Followed by a tour of the Washington monument” Kelly finished as she placed the third potato on the bench.
“ He is definitely a keeper. Do you know what Jet did for our one year anniversary?” Kate asked.
“ Well I gave him a few suggestions but I don’t know what he chose” Kelly told her.
“ Well, being a Friday night, we left work late so all the restaurants were full, so we walked back to my place which he brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the way. He then cooked me a very tasty risotto with red wine. And the rest of the night was spent in my bedroom” Kate chuckled at the memory, only six months ago. Kelly laughed.
“ I guess that is romantic in a way. I told him to take you away for the weekend, but you know dad ‘criminals don’t take weekends off’” Kelly recited what Gibbs always told her.
“ Well it’s true, sometimes” Kate told her. Kelly brought the potatoes over to Kate and the started slicing them to place them in the deep dish.
“ I can’t believe I’m asking this but, has there ever been times between you and dad that it hasn’t gone completely to plan?” she asks, a little embarrassed.
“ Uh,” Kate didn’t know what to say.
“ I just mean I hear so many stories at school, you know the guy can’t get it up or goes too quickly” Kelly quickly explains.
“ Oh, yeah there has been a couple of times. You can’t expect every time to be perfect” Kate tells her.
Gibbs jumps back into the car after stopping off at a small corner store not far from home. He is not one to go to the supermarket just for a few items. He rushed home. He wanted to know what was going one. Kate told him nothing was wrong but he couldn’t help but feel that she was hiding something and one of the key points in their relationship was to not keep secrets, that’s why he had finally told her about Kelly.
He pulls up into the drive-way behind Kate’s car. He grabs the shopping bag and heads inside. He is met by hysterical laughter.
“ Oh my god. Does it happen often?” he heard Kelly ask through her bouts of laughter.
“ On occasion. I’ve learned to keep the heat rub in the bedside drawer just in case” Kate said, also laughing. He stands in the doorway and sees Kelly setting the table, while Kate is cutting up vegetables for a small side salad. The place smells like chicken and potato bake.
“ What are you two talking about?” he asks. Kate and Kelly both look at him and then at each other.
“ Nothing” they say in unison. He doesn’t believe them for a second. He makes his way over to Kate.
“ I got your things” he says placing the bag on the bench. Kate puts down her knife and wraps her arms around his neck, leans up and gives him a kiss.
“ Thank you” she says then turns back to her vegetables.
“ I bet Tony complained when I left” she said with a smile.
“ The whole hour and a half. Now can you tell me what was so important?” he asked. Kate and Kelly shared a look before she finally answered.
“ Later”.
“ Kate” he said in a warning tone.
“ Dad really, everything is fine. Go get washed up, diner will be ready soon” Kelly said with a smile as she put the rest of the napkins away. Gibbs was about to protest but Kelly stopped him.
“ Dad just go” she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek and pushed him out of the kitchen.
“ That was wonderful” Gibbs said as he puts his fork down and sat back in his chair.
“ Well it was all Kate, I only peeled the potatoes” Kelly said as she gathered up the empty plates and put them in the sink.
“She is amazing” he replies and looks at Kate, who just smiles as the redness takes over her cheeks. Kelly smiled at the two then remembered.
“ Oh dad, I’ve told Kate, but I’m having a few friends over Tuesday night to study for math if that’s ok” Kelly says. Gibbs looks over at Kate.
“ Fine with me. We’ll bring pizza home” he tells her.
“ Oh dad you don’t have to do that” she protests.
“ Well we have to eat to” Gibbs tells her. He gets up from his chair.
“ Ok ladies, I’ll be in the basement if you need me and Kate” he says turning to face her.
“ Yeah?” she answers.
“ Do not come down, I don’t care for whatever reason you are not a loud down there” he says then leaves. Kate turns in her seat to face Kelly.
“ So tell me again why he won’t let me down there, but your free to go down and talk about me” he chuckled. Kelly laughed.
“ Must be a Gibbs thing” she laughs.
Kate is sitting up on the couch, leaning forward braiding Kelly’s hair, who is sitting on the floor in front of her. The TV is on some quiz show that they aren’t paying any attention to.
“ When I was younger I always wanted a little girl. So I could do her hair, dress her up in pretty pink fairy dresses, have little tea parties” Kate told Kelly with a smile.
“ Well I may be too old for the tea parties, but you could help me with my prom dress” Kelly said. Kate stopped doing her hair. Kelly turned around to look up at her.
“ What?” she asked. Kate smiled.
“ Are you sure you want me to go with you? Wouldn’t you want your friends or Josh to go with you?” Kate asked. Kelly laughed.
“ I can’t take Josh, it’s supposed to be a surprise and I love all of your clothes. I want to go with you Kate, please” Kelly begged.
“ Sure, when?” Kate asked.
“ Next week if that’s ok?” Kelly asked happily.
“ Sounds great” Kate said happily. Kelly got up and gave her an awkward hug.
“ I’m going to say good night to dad” she tells her and runs off. Kate sits there. She had always wanted a daughter, and now she has one, so to speak, without all the hard work.
Kate entered the bedroom and saw Gibbs already sitting on the bed.
“ Did Kel say good night to you?” she asked him sweetly, closing the door behind her as she entered the room.
“ Mmm hmm” he mumbled. Kate nodded and went to her side of the bed and grabbed her nightie. She swiftly got changed and jumped on the bed, crawled over to Gibbs and ran her hands up his back and kissed his neck.
“ Kate” he said in a flat tone. She stopped what she was doing and sat back on her legs.
“ Ask me what you want to ask me” she told him. Gibbs turned around and faced her.
“ Why did you have to rush home to Kelly? What was so god damn important?” he asked trying to remain calm. Kate let out a sigh.
“ She just needed some help. She is going to Josh’s this weekend and she just wanted some advice” Kate explained, trying to not going into detail. Gibbs thought about it for a second. Then he put the dots together.
“ You gave my daughter sex advice. Kate” he exclaimed jumping off the bed. He was pissed. He knew this would happen someday but he never thought Kate would give his 18 year old daughter sex advice.
“ Hey she came to me. The only advice I gave her was to really think if Josh is the guy she wants to lose her virginity to. I gave her advice on knowing if she was ready or not. Besides she is 18 years old. In a couple of weeks she will be finished school, moving out and starting her independent life. You can’t protect her forever” she told him, getting off the bed and standing in front of him. He let out a sigh before sitting back down on the bed.
“ You’re right. I just…she is still my little girl” he said in a soft tone. She gave him a sweet smile and came to stand in between his legs, her hands resting on his shoulders. He looked up into her gorgeous mocha brown eyes that were filled with love and concern.
“ You two have the best relationship I have ever seen, so don’t ruin it over something so small. Be happy that she is making a start on her own life”.
“ I am happy for her. I am so proud of her” he started to explain, but he had trouble continuing.
“ Well tell her. Jet she loves you and you love her and I love both of you. Don’t give her a reason to be scared of you” Kate said running a hand through her hair.
“ Why would she be scared of me?” he asked confused. In all her 18 years Kelly has never been scared of him. He has never hit or actually shouted at her before.
“ Because you could hurt Josh or any other guy she wants to be with” she said softly. A slight grin appeared on his face. He reached out and pulled Kate closer to him.
“ You know me to well” he said softly. She smiled and leaned down so their lips were almost touching.
“ Show me how well you know me” she whispered as she pushed him back on the bed and kissed him.
**Friday night**
Kate is sitting on the bed reading when she hears Gibbs coming up the stairs. She checks the clock, 11:37pm. Kelly and Josh left hours ago and he has been locked in the basement ever since and Kate isn’t aloud down there so she couldn’t talk to him. He comes in all dusty and smells of bourbon. Kate puts her book down.
“ Jet are you sure you’re ok?” she asks looking at him. He just nods.
“ You have been down there for hours. Do you want to talk about it?” she pushes the subject. He doesn’t answer, just continues on into the small bathroom. He dusts himself and brushes his teeth then enters the bedroom again. He looks over at Kate who is still concerned about him. He rips his shirt off and throws it into the dirty basket near the door.
“ I’m fine Kate, really. I just need to keep my mind of it” he explains, his back to her. She smiles as she watches him undress. Although he maybe 48, she still loves his body. She puts her book on the side dresser and sits up.
“ I can think of one way to keep your mind off it” she said cheekily. He turns around after throwing his pants in the basket and sees her smiling face.
“ How?” he asks, although well aware of her idea. She doesn’t say anything just pulls her nightie over her head and chucks it on the floor. He bounds onto the bed and ravishes her body in kisses.
“ And you know the best part” she says through breaths.
“ What?” he asks between kisses.
“ We can be as loud as we want”. He looks up at her and chuckles before capturing her mouth in his in a heated passionate kiss.
The nest morning Kate woke to a snore Gibbs cuddled up to her back. She smiled to herself and ran a gentle hand along his arm that was over her middle. She gently removed it and got out of bed.
“ Katie” he mumbled.
“ I’m going to make some coffee” she told him and gave him a quick kiss the head.
“ Kelly” he mumbled.
“ Will call you when she gets the chance” she said in a soothing tone. He nodded and rolled over. Kate smiled at him and went to the kitchen to get a start on the coffee. She went out the front and grabbed the paper and put it on the table ready for when Gibbs got up. She went back over to the coffee machine and grabbed two mugs and started to pour the brew. She almost jumped when two strings arms encircled her waist and gentle kisses on her neck.
“ Coffees ready” she told him.
“ So am I” he said in a raspy voice as he continued his kisses.
“ Jet” she mumbles.
“ Katie” he growls as he bites her neck and pushes his groin into her. She turns around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“ We have to go shopping Jet. We can’t waist our day off” she chuckled. He groins loudly.
“ Please Katie, food can wait” he said kissing her fully on the lips.
“ We have all day and night to have some fun. We need to do the grocery shopping” she gave him one more kiss then left to have a shower.
**Saturday Night**
Gibbs was pacing the floor of their bedroom while Kate was watching him on the bed.
“ Jet stop worrying, she’ll be fine” she told him.
“ If he hurts her, I’m going to kill him” he tells her. She thinks it’s cute that he is worried about her but she also thinks he is overreacting.
“ Your sounding like my mother on my wedding day” she said with a little laugh. Gibbs stopped and looked at Kate.
“ But you’ve never been married?” he said confused.
“ I know, but you know what they say. After the wedding night, the bride’s parents know she is definitely isn’t a virgin anymore” she said with a cheeky smile. Gibbs couldn’t help the smile that crossed his face. Kate crawled to the end of the bed and stood up on her knees.
“ It’s there first anniversary, let them have their fun, they are teenagers after all” she told him. He turned to face her. He couldn’t help but smile at her. She was so gorgeous and she was all his. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would be staring at this gorgeous, 34 year old, ex- Secret Service agent in nothing but a flimsy pink satin nightie. He stood in front of her and moved a piece of her hair behind her ear as he stared deep into her eyes.
“ Do you remember our first anniversary?” she asks as she runs a hand up and down his chest.
“ How could I forget” he murmurs, running a gentle hand down her arm and back up and along her bare collar bone.
“ Would you like a repeat?” she asks. He doesn’t speak. He steps forward and kisses her senseless.
“ What do you think?” he says with a smile. She pulls him down to the bed and rips his clothes off him.
Kate is woken by a soft murmur. She couldn’t quite make it out. She turned her head slightly and could feel Gibbs’ warm breath on her neck. Then she heard it again.
“ Don’t leave me Katie, please”. He sounded like he was in pain. She slowly rolls over and sees he is still asleep.
‘That dream again’ she thinks to herself. She reaches out and touches his face gently.
“ I’ll never leave you” she whispers then leans in and kisses him softly. He snuggles closer to her. God she loves this man so much. She holds him a moment longer, before finally wiggling out of his grasp. Like every morning she goes to the kitchen and puts on a pot of coffee. She is in her own world when she feels two hands run down her back and squeeze her ass.
“ Good morning to you to” she said happily. He answered with more kisses on her bare skin of her shoulder.
“ You had that dream again” she said softly. Gibbs stopped his kisses. She turned around and looked up into his eyes.
“ I thought you would know I’m not going anywhere by now” she told him softly. He looked embarrassed that she found out. She gives him a quick kiss. When she pulled back she had a cheeky smile on her face.
“ How could I leave you after what you did to me last night”. She saw a smile spread across his face. He wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
“ I can do it again” he says. Before she knows it he has her up in his arms and places her on the kitchen bench. She is only in in undies and one of his faded shirts. She wraps her legs round his waist as he stands in between her legs. His hands run up under her shirt and grasp her soft, plump breast. They are so distracted by each other and moaning into each other’s mouths that they don’t hear the front door open and the footsteps coming closer.
“ Oh my god” Kelly exclaims loudly as she turns around after seeing her dad, still in boxers, and Kate perched on the kitchen bench. Kate pushes Gibbs off her and pulled the shirt down. She quickly slid of the counter top to greet the two teenagers.
“ Sorry, we didn’t expect you guys back so soon” Kate quickly explained. Gibbs was still facing the counter, he couldn’t turn around as he didn’t want to haunt his daughter by showing her his erection.
“ I had to grab my books and we thought we would come join you guys for breakfast” Kelly said laughing. Josh was standing behind her, trying not to laugh.
“ Oh. Sure. Pancakes sound ok?” Kate asked still surprised at Kelly and Josh’s sudden arrival. Kelly smiled.
“ Sounds great. Um, could I talk to you for a sec?” Kelly asked looking over at her dad who is now pouring himself coffee. Kate nods.
“ Sure”. They head down the hall, leaving Josh and Gibbs alone in the kitchen.
“ So how was it?” Kate asks. Kelly could not hide the smile that came over her face.
“ It was amazing. He was so sweet the entire day and he took everything slow and he told me he loved me” Kelly said remembering the events.
“ I’m so happy for you Kel” Kate said.
“ Oh and he gave me this” Kelly held out her hand. Kate saw the new silver bracelet that was on her wrist. It had a metal plate and had Kelly engraved on the top. Then Kelly turned it over and it had Forever.
“ Wow. Your dad hasn’t even given me a present that sweet and it’s been a year and a half” Kate told her. She pulled her into a tight hug.
“ I’m really glad you’re happy and so is your dad, even if he doesn’t say it” Kate told her. Kelly gave a chuckle.
“ So how was he?” she asked quietly, fearing he would sneak up on them.
“ He was fine. A little nervous, well actually I thought he was going to drive over there and bring you back here where he could keep his eyes on you” she laughed.
“ So I helped him take his mind of it” she explained.
“ That explains what we walked in on” Kelly said with a laugh. Kate blushed and nodded.
“ Well I am going to put some pants” Kate said with a smile. Kelly laughed and called out.
“ Good idea. I would like to be able to hug my dad”. Kelly went back to the kitchen and finally greeted her dad.
Kate had chucked on some sweat pants and quickly tied her hair up. She couldn’t imagine what state her was in. She makes her way back to the kitchen and can already smell the pleasant aroma of pancakes.
‘Kelly’ she instantly thought, but when she walked into the kitchen Kelly and Gibbs were sitting at the table while Josh was by the stove flipping the pancakes.
“ Wow he cooks. He is definitely a keeper” she said with a smile. She made her way over to Gibbs and sat herself on his lap, he took her weight happily, wrapping his arms around her.
“ Almost done. Do you guys want syrup of something?” he asked as he placed the last of the pancakes on the plate.
“ Sure, I’ll get it” Kelly got up and got the syrup from the cupboard and jam from the fridge. Josh brought the plate of pancakes over to the table along with four other plates. Kelly put the syrup and jam in the middle and handed out the knives and forks. Kate stayed seated on Gibbs’ lap and acted as his and her own hands.
“ So did you miss me?” Kelly asked. Gibbs looked up at her with a smile.
“ Of course. The house was to quiet” he complained. Kelly couldn’t help but give a chuckle.
“ Well according to Kate, you guys made plenty of noise by yourselves”. Josh couldn’t help but laugh along with her. They were the teenagers and yet the adults were acting like horny teenagers.
“ Did she now” he said looking up at her, trying to be serious. She just rolled her eyes.
“ Oh come on we are all adults here and we’ve all” she stopped, decided it better not to continue that sentence. She felt Gibbs’ grip on her tighten as she clearly reminded him that his little girl was no longer a virgin. She leaned down and kissed him.
“ Come on eat up. We got things to do” she said jumping off his lap.
“ And you two don’t want to be late to the library” she added before leaving them.
“ Dad tell me again why you haven’t done it yet?” Kelly asked turning to face her dad sitting across from her.
“ Done what?” Josh asked confused.
“ Kelly don’t start” Gibbs warns. Kelly just shakes her head.
“ Don’t worry I’ll tell you later” she tells Josh.
“ Kelly” he warns again.
“ Dad she makes you happy and she isn’t like any of the others. Kate has been more than a mum to me than the others ever were. She really loves you dad” Kelly tells him seriously. Osh gets up and washes his plate then leaves them alone, feeling it is not his business to listen in on.
“ Kel I don’t want to ruin it” he tells her. She lets out a sigh.
“ Believe me, if you don’t do it you will ruin it. Just don’t rule it out ok?” she says. He nods.
“ Ok” he agrees. She smiles gets up and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.
“ Love you dad” she says.
“ Love you to” he smiles.
Chapter End Notes:
This came to me while watching the movie 'Chasing Liberty' which Mark Harmon (Gibbs) has a 18 year old daughter.I thought it fit well.

I know what its like to have a step mum, thankfully she isn't an 'evil' step mum, but i made Kate what i would have wanted my step mum to be like.
