Thank You for 50 reads on my other book and 15 on this book!!!!!!!!
Abby's POV:
We get off of the elevator on the squad room's floor. Yes, I have perfect grammar, I'm just not able to fully put it into words yet, at least that other people know of. When I see Timmy, I am going to say my first words, 'Тимми! Я скучал по тебе!' That means 'Timmy! I missed you' in Russian. I have been working on it in bed when nobody is around, so I can surprise them. I have only seen Timmy on Face-time calls and Skype, but I do miss him. I see him now!
Timmy sees us and starts walking over here. "Hi, kids! Oh, Abby, you are so cute." We are over at the desks now, Tim is sitting at his desk. I reach for him and when he grabs me I say, "Тимми! Я скучал по тебе!" Everyone looks at me very surprised. (Timmy! I missed you!) (Russian)
"Я выучил русский, чтобы вас удивить, ребята !! Русский мой родной язык!" I say to still very surprised people. (I learned Russian so I could surprise you guys!! Russian is my first language!) (Russian)
Ellie's POV
Did Abby just really talk? She was supposed to start talking at 18 months, she is 24 months. Did she really hide this from us for 6 months!!!!
"Вау! Эбби? Вы понимаете и другие наши языки?" I broke the silence. (Wow! Abby? Can you understand our other languages too?) (Russian)
"Вроде, как бы, что-то вроде. Я понимаю русский, английский, иврит и итальянский. Но только пара слов или фраз во всем, кроме английского и русского. Хотя я могу говорить только по-русски." (Sort of. I can understand Russian, English, Hebrew, and Italian. But only a couple words or phrases in everything except English and Russian. I can only speak Russian though.) (Russian)
Wow... I'm speechless.
Nick's POV
Now I have to test her... ya know???
"Puoi capirlo?" (Can you understand this?) (Italian)
She nods.
"אתה יכול להבין את זה?"
(Can you understand this?) (Hebrew)
She nods.
"دا څنګه دی؟" (How about this?) (Pashto)
She gives me a puzzled look.
"دا څنګه دی؟" (How about this?) (Arabic)
Same puzzled look.
"This?"
She nods.
"Как насчет сейчас?" (How about now?) (Russian)
"Вы уже знаете, что я знаю русский язык. Манекен." (You already know that I know Russian. Dummy.) (Russian)
"M'a-t-elle juste traité de mannequin?" I ask everyone else. (Did she just call me a dummy?) (French)
"Oui," everyone replies. (Yes) (French)
Yikes. She has got an attitude and she is only 2. hfhagpihkofihoahfoiheioflhaogfhfdfhos. This is going to be a rough couple of years.
Ziva's POV
"Nous devrions lui apprendre d'autres langues. Ne devrions-nous pas?" I ask my family. (We should teach her other languages. Should we not?) (French)
"Oui, je pense que nous devrions. Je pense que c'est mieux si elle apprend en entendant, donc nous ne lui mettons pas trop de stress" Abba states. (Yes, I think we should. I think it is best if she learns by hearing though, so we aren't putting to much stress on her.) (French)
"Что ты говоришь, Авва?" (What are you saying, Abba?) (Russian)
"Ничего не сказано. Мы просто говорим о том, стоит ли вам начать изучать другие языки. Я хочу, чтобы ты начал изучать английский язык, хорошо?" (Nothing Abbs. We are just talking about if you should start learning other languages. I want you to start trying to learn English, ok?) (Russian)
"Хорошо, Абба." (Ok, Abba.) (Russian)
Gibbs' POV
"Ok, everybody. You have to try to speak more English around Abby than usual," I say.
"Но Абба ... Я более свободно говорю почти на всех других языках." (But Abba... I am more fluent in pretty much all of the other languages.) (Russian)
"Now Nick. She has to learn English too. You can still speak the other languages, but I suggest you start getting better at English too."
"Fine, I can try. By the way, my teacher wants me to go to the speech therapist at school."
"Why?" Jenny asks.
"Because he pretty much never speaks in English and when he does, it is pretty broken. He prefers Russian and Hebrew," Ellie interjects.
"Thank you, Ellie, but I asked your brother."
"Sorry." I look at Nick for an explanation.
"I just don't like English. каждый speaks it, and nobody speaks anything else. I like люди not being able to Понимаю me," He says. ((In order of appearance) Everyone, People, and Understand.)(Russian)
"I know, but you need to try," Tony said.
"Ok."
"You won't be needing speech therapy. Spend enough time around here and you will pick it up in no time," Jenny says.
"You mean it Ima? We can тусоваться here?" Ellie asks. (hang out) (Russian)
"Sure you can. If you don't disrupt the team when they are working a case."
"תודה לך אימא !!!!"
(Thank you Ima!!!!)(Hebrew)
"I will be right back."
"Where are you going Abba?" Tony questions.
"To see if Kasie has anything for me."
"Ok! See you soon."
I head down to see Kasie. She doesn't have anything yet. We found a dead Gunnery Sergeant in Norfolk. Well, we didn't find the body per se, but we are investigating it. I am suspecting her husband because she has an insurance policy of 2 million dollars.
I head out to bring him in. His name is Ryder Snow, and he is a civilian. He is currently living in D.C. I'm guessing they had a falling out because she was living in Norfolk and he was living in the D.C./Metropolitan area, Fairfax, Virginia to be more specific. That is 187 miles away from each other. It must have been rough for her. I wish I could've gotten away before my divorces. I'll do you one better, I wish I had never gotten married to 2, 3, and 4. I have been happy with 1 and 5. (Shannon and Jenny)
When I get there he is sitting at his desk. He doesn't hear me because he is deaf, but I have to be careful of shadows because I have found that all of my blind/deaf suspects/victims use their other senses better, and they are even more in-tune with their surroundings. I get closer and he turns around with a gun in his hand...
What do you think will happen next? ('cause tbh I don't even know yet. I get surprised with my own writing. For example, you are like "OH. MY. GOSH. WILL HE BE OK?" Well, I wonder the same thing.)
Sorry, It's not as good as usual. I had Speech Festival today, and I am still recovering. (IT WAS HORRIBLE.)
Thank you SOOOOO much for 54 reads on my other book! I don't deserve it!!
