A/U Tony is 12, Kate is 11, Stan is 15, Dwayne is 17, Tim is 10, Sarah is 6, Michelle is 8, Abby is 4, Jimmy is 2, Ziva is 14, Jenny is 27

Mike Franks sat across from his old probie at the table. He was meeting Jethro to talk about how things were going. "So," He began, "You still living alone?"

To his surprise Jethro laughed at this, "Hell, no. About 2 and half years ago we got a case, some rich ass businessman was under investigation by the FBI for embezzling, ordered a hit on a seaman, we got him for that. Also got him for abusing his son Tony. Kid was 10 at the time."

Mike nodded, "So you're his father now?"

Jethro nodded, " Pretty much. You remember Agent Todd?"

Mike bit his lip. "I was at his funeral last year. You get a lead on his case."

Jethro shook his head, "Nope, but we did arrest his old aunt for child abuse, just three days after the funeral."

Mike nearly chocked, "That old which hurt Kate and the boys?"

Jethro sighed, "Not anymore. Stan, Dwayne and Kate came to live with me."

Mike raised his eyebrows, "So now you're a father of 4?"

Jethro chuckled, "I wish. 'Bout 8 months ago, a commander and his wife were found murdered. Their little girl, Sarah, was an eye witness and her big brother wouldn't leave her, so they both ended up under my protection, and they didn't have any place to go once the trial ended, so I ended up taking them in. 'Bout 2 weeks after that, Lance Corporal Lee was found murdered. I ended up taking in his daughter Michelle. "

Mike leaned back, "So you have eight people living in your house."

Jethro exhaled, "Well boss, it's actually more like 12."

Mike leaned forward in surprise, "You gonna tell me about the others?"

Jethro nodded, "Uh-hu. You remember Sciuto's sister who had cancer?"

Mike raised one eye brow, Let me guess, she died and you took in her little girl after Sciuto went into mental break down?"

Jethro shrugged, "It was the right thing to do."

Mike sighed, " And the other three?"

Jethro leaned back, "Bout 5 months ago, a petty officer called about the murder of her stripper sister. We investigated, found the bastard who did it, and her baby boy was handed over to me for "Temporary" custody."

Mike rolled his eye, "I take it the arrangement's not so temporary anymore?"

Jethro bit his lip, "Jimmy became attached to me."

Mike nodded "Uh-hu. Go on."

Jethro shrugged, "I let Probie move in with me after her apartment burned down, Ziva moved in too."

Mike raised his eyebrows, "You got a female probie?"

Jethro glared at him, "I'm not sleeping with her!"

Mike leaned away from him, "Okay. I assume Ziva's Probie's daughter?"

Jethro smiled at that,"More or less, Ziva was the daughter of the Deputy Director of Muossad, convinced Jenny to help her run away to America. "

Mike threw his hands up, "Probie what the hell have you gotten yourself into?"

Jethro just smiled "Think what you will, Mike. Being a father again is the best thing that could have happened to me."

A/N Dwayne is Agent Dwayne Wilson, the recruit who Vance assigned to their team temporarily to help with the shooting of a Quantico bank guard, and Stan is Agent Stan Burly, who worked on Gibbs team before being reassigned as an agent afloat. Also Kate mentions having 2 older brothers. Sarah is Sarah McGee. The rest of Gibbs "Children" are fairly self explanatory as to who they represent. Probie, of course, refers to Agent Jenifer Sheppard. Review and I might consider expanding it. Just a oneshot for now though.
