Two days later Jordan was discharged from the hospital. Gibbs and Mac had picked her up while Stella made sure the nursery was ready for the twins. After they’d gotten home Stella and Jordan changed the twin’s diapers and went to the kitchen to warm up the bottles. Stella had offered to bring the bottles upstairs, so that Mac and Gibbs could nurse the twins.
Gibbs took a bottle from Stella and walked over to Ryan. Stella got Kenzy out of her little crib and handed her over to Mac who looked a little confused.
“C’mon Mac, you can do this. She doesn’t bite.” Stella teased. “And you need the practise for this little on. She gently rubbed her tummy.
“Why don’t you take the rocking chair?” Gibbs encouraged him while he was feeding Ryan.
Mac took place in the chair. Stella draped a spit cloth on his shoulder lay a bib under Kenzy’s little chin.
“Ok Taylor, now lay Kenzy on your arm and support her head.” Stella felt the temperature of the bottle and handed it to Mac. “Now gently place the nipple in her mouth and make sure that it remains well filled otherwise she’ll suck too much air inside.” Stella informed him.
“How come you know all this stuff, Gorgeous?” Mac grinned at her knowledge as he did as Stella told him. Kenzy immediately started sucking on the nipple and her tiny hands curled in to tiny fists.
“Try reading a book, Taylor.” She grinned. She made sure that Mac was at ease now and walked over to check up on Ryan. Gibbs gave her a firm glare that told her he hadn’t lost his touch.
“Now after you’re done, make sure the babies get to burb.” She instructed before she left the nursery. “I’m sure Jethro will show you, Mac. Have fun you two.
“She always this bossy?” Gibbs grinned after Stella had left. He gently strolled over to Mac and checked on Kenzy. Her little eyes stared at Mac while she contently sucked her milk in.
“When it comes to babies, yes.” Mac couldn’t take his eyes of Kenzy. “I think she wants me to be the perfect dad.”
“Good luck for the next three months then.” Gibbs teased and checked Ryan’s bottle. “How are DiNozzo and Messer working together?”
“They’re fine. I told Ziva to kick butt if they didn’t.” Mac grinned. “Tony’s leading the investigation and Danny is more in the lab with Abby.”
“He checked for hidden cameras?” Gibbs joked as Ryan finished his bottle.
“Nah… I think he’s learned his lesson.”
Gibbs stashed away the bottle and showed Mac how to burb Kenzy next. Mac followed his lead like a pro.

In the evening Abby and McGee had taken Mac and Stella out to dinner, so that Gibbs and Jordan could spend their first evening with the twins alone. After changing and nursing the them Gibbs gently lay his arm around Jordan’s waist and the two of them headed downstairs.
“I really need to start jogging again.” Jordan complained half way down he stairs.
Gibbs sighed. “Give yourself some time, Angel. You just had twins two days ago.” Jordan nodded a little frustrated. “Tell you what.” Gibbs softly kisses her sleep. “I’ll ask Mac and Stella to watch the twins on Saturday morning and I’ll join you.”
Jordan grinned and continued their walk. “Watching my six, Probie?”
“Just making sure that you don’t overdo it.” Jordan kissed him a thank you. “You pick out a movie, while I turn the coffee machine on.” Gibbs suggested.
“Yeah, you never got me that coffee from Starbucks.” Jordan reminded him while she went trough the TV guide. “How does ‘Stealing Home’ sound?
“That’s an oldie, Jordan!” Gibbs shouted from the kitchen. “Like what 1987?!”
“More like 1988!” Jordan yelled back. “It’s with Jodie Foster and what’s his name?”
“Ok, turn it on.” Gibbs walked in to the living room. He kicked off his shoes and relaxed his feet on the coffee table. Jordan got the remote and snuggled in to Gibbs on the couch.

An hour through the movie their new doorbell rang. Gibbs had it installed after his talk with Mac. He moved Jordan a little aside and got up. When he opened the door, he slammed it shut and returned to the couch.
“Aw… C’mon Boss, let me in!” Tony shouted and hit on the door.
“That wasn’t nice, Jethro.” Jordan laughed at Tony’s shouting, and she got up to let him in.
“I brought coffee from Starbucks, Jordan!” Tony shouted again.
Jordan opened the door and snatched the coffee. “Tony, you’re a heaven’s sent.” Jordan thanked him with a quick kiss.
“Not according to Gibbs.” Tony moaned walking in, followed by Ziva.
“Hey Jordan. For Ryan and Kenzy.” Ziva walked in and handed her two presents.
“Thank you Ziva. Come on in.” Jordan closed the door after Ziva. The women went straight upstairs to the nursery.
Tony walked in to the living room catching a glance on the film Gibbs was watching. “Hey, isn’t that ‘Stealing Home’ with Jody Foster and what’s his name?”
Gibbs looked up irritated. “What you’re doing here DiNozzo?”
“Ehr… I’d figured I give you an update on the case, Boss.” Tony sat down next to Gibbs and watched the screen.
Gibbs sighed. “Don’t wanna hear it.” Tony looked confused at Gibbs. “I’m on vacation, DiNozzo!” He snarled.
Ziva and Jordan came down with the twins. “Minors in the room! Big boys behave!” Jordan sat between Gibbs and Tony.
“Vacation means no work.” Gibbs calmed down. “You’re the leading man on this investigation. I trust you do your job right.”
Tony was proud of Gibbs’ words. “Thanks, Boss… Hey Kenzy.” He cooed the baby. “Wanna sit with Uncle Tony?” Tony reached his hands out. Jordan handed him the baby.
“Don’t drop my daughter.” Gibbs warned friendly. “Ziva, sit next to this clown, so I can capture this.” Gibbs got up to get the camera.
“They are adorable, Jordan.” Ziva rocked Ryan and rolled her eyes to Tony.
“Don’t you even think about it, Zee-vah. If you wanna play horsie, you can borrow these two.” Tony started rocking Kenzy.
“Hold still DiNozzo.” Gibbs ordered and he took the picture.
“Okay, time to go back to your mummy.” Tony said all of a sudden. He handed Kenzy to Gibbs and noticed a wet spot on his trousers.
“Euw Boss… I think you’ll get a dry cleaners bill soon.”
Gibbs smirked. “I’ll make sure it’s cut off from your pay check, DiNozzo.” He softly kissed Kenzy’s “That’s daddy’s girl.” He whispered.
“Oh Jordan…” Tony remembered. “That movie is with Mark Harmon. It is a story of family and friendship. A coming of age tale that will be tugging at your heartstrings one moment and making-”
Gibbs whacked Tony. “Sorry Boss.”
Ziva handed Ryan to Jordan. “C’mon Tony, let’s get you dry. Say night Jordan, night Gibbs.”
“Night Jordan. Night Gibbs.” Tony repeated as Ziva dragged him by his ear out of the house.
