Our Life, Our Family

Chapter 4

ibbs sat down at a table with AJ. He had given AJ an ice cream sandwhich. "Buddy, you wanna tell Grandpa what happened?"

AJ nodded, his blue eyes filled with fear and unshed tears. "A scarry man was in my woom." AJ answered. "He had a knife."

Gibbs nodded and kept a calm look on his face. He'd already been ready to kill the bastard, but when that guy came after his daughter and grandson, he was prepared to torture the sick and twisted freak. "Then what happened?"

"I scweamed and Mommy came in. She turned into Wonder Woman." AJ answered. "Mommy picked me up and carried me to the car. She came here."

Gibbs couldn't help but smile when AJ called Charity Wonder Woman. Gibbs looked at his grandson. Thankfully, he had not a scratch on him, but he could tell he was scared. "AJ, you know we aren't going to let anything happen to you. No one is going to hurt you."

"I know." AJ said.

Then Abby walked in the room. She headed over to AJ. "Hey AJ." She said.

AJ looked up at Abby, his face brightening slightly. "Aunty Abby!" He said, jumping up and hugging her.

Abby hugged AJ back. "Hey, you wanna come with me to my lab?" She asked AJ.

AJ nodded. Then he let go of Abby and hugged Gibbs. Then he went back to Abby and held her hand and she led him to her lab.

Gibbs waited a few minutes and then headed to see Charity. He knew she would be with Duckie, getting checked out. When he stepped into the morgue, he found Charity setting on one of the tables, Duckie cleaning and stitching up some of her cuts. Tony was setting beside her, holding her hand.

Charity moved her eyes to see her father's approach, as Duckie was stitching the cut on her forehead, she knew she couldn't move her head. "Hey Daddy." She said.

"Hey Baby Girl." Gibbs replied. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine. Is AJ alright?" She asked, worrying more about her son than herself.

"He's fine." Gibbs answered. "He's scared, but he's fine."

"He's going to have nightmares for months." Charity said.

"Well, one good thing did come out of this." Gibbs said.

Charity had to fight the urge to furrow her brow at her father. "What would that be?" She asked.

"AJ thinks you're Wonder Woman." Gibbs replied.

Charity and Tony both let out a small laugh.

Soon, Duckie was finished stitching Charity up. Then Tony, Charity, and Gibbs all headed to Abby's lab. When they headed inside, AJ ran to Charity. "Mommy!"

Charity opened her arms and lifted her son into her arms. She held him close and hugged him tight. She then kissed the top of his head. "Hey buddy. You alright?"

"I fine, Mommy." AJ answered. Then he pulled back and looked at Charity's face. He saw the stitches on her forehead. "You got a booboo. I make it better like you make mine better." Then he kissed her forehead.

Charity smiled at her son. "It's all better now. Thank you baby." She said and kissed his cheek.

A few more minutes passed and then Ziva and McGee entered the lab. "So, what's the plan?" Ziva asked.

"McGee, you are taking Charity and AJ to the north safe house." Gibbs ordered.

"Hold up there, Dad." Charity interupted.

Gibbs looked at his daughter. "What?"

Charity looked at her father, "I want Ziva." She said. Then she turned to McGee. "No offense Tim, but if I have to depend on somebody to help me protect my son in a fight, I want Ziva."

"She has a point, boss." McGee agreed.

"Alright, fine Ziva you take them to the safe house." Gibbs said. "Tony, McGee you two are with me. We are going to the house to track this sick SOB down."

Tony nodded. He went with Charity, AJ, and Ziva to the car. Ziva went ahead and got in the driver's seat and waited. Tony and Charity put AJ in the back in a car seat. "Okay, AJ you be a good boy for Mommy and Aunt Ziva. Okay?" Tony said.

"Otay, Daddy." AJ said. "Where are we going?"

"Some place safe." Tony answered. "Your grandpa, Uncle Tim, and Daddy are going to find that scarry man and out him in jail. Then I'm going to come and pick you and Mommy up and we are going to go home. Okay?"

"Otay Daddy." AJ said.

Tony then reached into his pocket and pulled out a sucker. "Here you go. I'll be there to pick you and Mommy up soon. I love you Buddy."

"I wove you, too, Daddy." AJ said.

Tony then hugged his son and ruffled his hair. Then he climbed out of the back of the car and turned to his wife. "I promise we will catch this guy."

"I know." Charity said, opening up her arms to hug Tony.

They embraced. Tony kissed the top of Charity's head. "I love you." He said.

"I love you, too." She replied. She then kissed his cheek. She pulled back and looked up at him. "You be careful." She told him.

Tony gave her one of his charming smiles. "Don't worry about me. You just keep you and AJ safe."

"Oh don't worry about that. Remember, I'm Wonder Woman." Charity replied with a laugh. She and Tony shared one more kiss, before Charity hopped in the car.

Tony looked at Ziva before she started the car. "You drive like a normal person. You are carrying presious cargo."

"Don't worry Tony, I will keep them safe." Ziva said. She started the car and pulled out.
