So how old is Nathanial? Old enough to drive and taller than Ziva but young enough to still need a mother? Or did he take a cab?

I loved that moment in the car between ziva and tim. I would love to see them together and build a life together. They trust and care for each other deeply already.

Awesome! I was so excited to see an update for this story.

"McGee gently pried her right hand from the steering wheel and held it in his own. "You and me; put us together, we can do anything." She closed her eyes momentarily and more tears fell. He squeezed her hand. "Will you help me?"

She kept her eyes on the road, but her fingers slowly closed around his own."

God I loved this. I understand this prob isn't a slash fic, but I would not complain if McGee and Ziva happened.

So is Ziva a single mom then and that her and McGee might get together? Does her son see Tim as a dad type person who has been filling that role if she is a single mom?

Wooo! I love it. Ok, I think i'm going to change my new favorite. Either Angel or Matt. Hmmm, i think i'm gonna go with matt. The bit about him in the elevator was touching, heartfelt, and realistic. Love it. Keep writing! And update soon please!

I love Bobby! You know, when i read that you had replaced Abby, i was very skeptical on what type of 'personality' could replace Abs. But, you did it quite well. As far as the story as a whole; I'm hooked. Very well done!

So...you got me thinking here. Gibbs was like he was after trauma of losing family. McGee always wanted a family and a partner but hes turned into Gibbs instead. Why? What was his trauma to cause him to give up hope of that sort of life?

And at 45 hes not too old to fall in love and have a family espec if she is younger.This tim just seems sad driven but lonely. Maybe thats point of your story though? That he needs to change and become himself and not Gibbs? I will wait and see.

love the chapter

love the chapter

Great story but for me there is just too much going on!

Too many new people to get my head around and we are lossing track Of Tim & Ziva who should be at the front of the story more.

its interesting and im enjoying it but im find it hard to keep track of like eight new oc's plus the case facts and the changes in zuva and mcgee in particular. i have to go back to chapter one and check. can you put a breif summery on top of next chapter as to whose on what team, whose the sfa in these two new teams the probie etc?

You've got all our current characters characteristics, I thought I had them all identified and then I realized there's 9, not five (Tony,Tim, Ziva, Abby, Gibbs) so the traits are kind of spread out amongst amongst all of them. I can't decide who I like most. Well McGee, duh, and Ziva. But beyond that, I don't know. It took me a couple of seasons to warm up to Tony, think I have the same reaction to Angel. It is strange that the current team thinks of the "McGee glare", thanks for Ziva's reaction, and awesome that McGee is a legend, just as our Gibbs was in his time. T

This is interesting, and I'm definitely intrigued. Great start.

This is a very interesting story. I can't wait to read more of it.

great story. could go far. hope to read a next chapter soon

I like it ...keep going!
