This story is based off of NCIS episode family first. This is how I think it should have ended
In this story jenny never died, she only left NCIS after dealing with a cancer scare
This is not a one shot
I know the summary is crappy but the story wo...
We'd just arrived in Orlando Florida after a twelve and a half hour drive from DC. The boss gave us two weeks off and Abby went ahead and planned a family trip to Disney world which has Tali very excited "pumpkin we're here" I said to my three year old daughter who's eyes lit up with excitement
Tali: daddy look at mickey mouse
"I see him, and there are some princesses here too. We're gonna meet up at our suite with the team then we can explore Disney world, does that sound like fun pumpkin pie?" I asked
Tali: yes, come on Ima
Ziva: I'm coming baby
I grabbed our bags while Ziva got the girls and we headed up to our suite where we met the team waiting. Once we were able to shower and get dressed we all headed out to explore the theme park. Tali got her little sparkly Micky mouse ears and I took her and little Victoria (Palmer's daughter) on the merry go round which they enjoyed very much

Abby: Dani why aren't you going on any rides? Your first trip is always the most memorable, and we're in the place where dreams come true
Dani: I'm dreaming of me not being here and it hasn't came true yet. I'm gonna go see if that fairy godmother could wave her wand and send me back to the hotel room, or maybe I'll find a pair of sparkly red heels and click them together so I could go home
"What's got you in such a bad mood today?" I asked
Dani: the last time I was here it was just me and her. This was our thing everytime we came to the united states. It's completely ridiculous, but being here just makes me feel depressing
"It's not stupid, it hasn't been a full two years yet since she died. It takes time to get over a loss that that, and two years isn't nearly enough time" I told her "I'm sure she wanted you to be happy, so how about we make some new memories?" I suggested
Dani: sure, I guess we could do that
"Good now I know your adventurous, so how about we try the craziest ride they've got" I offered and got a smile
Dani: if you can keep your food down then let's do it
Ziva: I don't think that's such a good idea, you'll both end up throwing up the rest of the day. You should wait a while
Dani: okay, but we're going to tomorrowland to ride the astro orbiter before the day ends.
"Definitely, Tali wants to see wher Cinderella lives so that would be fantasyland which is right this way" I directed everyone
Dani: I'm going to tomorrowland, so we'll just meet up after
"You seem to know where everything is around here. Just how often were you here?
Abby: have you seen how many passports she's filled up? This kid has been just about everywhere in the world
Dani: my mother never left the country without me which is why she homeschooled me for the first fourteen years of my life.
"You never talk about your life before the accident" I said
Dani: I don't like making you guys feel bad. I hate it here in america without her, and talking about that life we had just makes me want to throw myself off a bridge. She's all I had and I don't know who I am without her
Jenny: maybe if we knew how you felt we'd know how to help you through this. Pretending nothing's wrong isn't working
Dani: can we not do this?
Jenny: we just want to help. I recommended your grief counselor for Roman and he's making excellent progress, but you won't even talk to the woman
Dani: I'm not him okay and I don't talk about before she died because if I did you'd know how much I hate it here. If you want to help me so badly just send me home. I hate it here without her, I hate my life and everyday I try to smile and be happy, but I'm not and it's to a point where I don't even want to wake up anymore. I just don't want to be in a world without her and the stupid therapist won't get that, you won't get that.
At this point she was washed away in tears, I never realized just how bad things were for her even after all most two years
Gibbs: if you don't want to be here we can take you home
Dani: I'm not talking about your house. I wanna go back to Italy or even London. I can't do this right now
After wiping away her tears she walked of in the opposite direction trying to get as far away from us as she could
Abby: this is my fault, I'll go talk to her
Jenny: it's not your fault Abby. I thought she was getting better, I thought she was happy with us but she's not. I didn't even know she was that depressed, maybe the best thing we could do for her is send her home where she wants to be
"She doesn't have anyone to look after her in London or Italy. It was just the two of them and yes she's in a really bad place, but I think she needs you and boss" I told Jen
Jenny: I don't think we can help her anymore. Sometimes letting go is the best thing you can do for someone. She needs time on her own, so let's just continue onto our next sight
She walked ahead with Tali and Victoria who were very excited to see all the different Disney princesses they've come to love so much. Even Caitlin seemed to be enjoying the colorful sights "I think she likes it here Zi" I said gaining my wife's attention
Ziva: Yeah, she seems to be having a good time and Tali definitely likes it here.
"I love seeing her so happy, I just wish dani was too" I said
Ziva: she's struggling because she refuses to talk with someone and that's not on you or anyone else. She has to want help in order to get it. I've been in her clothes before, when my mother died, then Tali
"The saying is in her shoes not clothes and your right. Let's just make sure our girls enjoy this trip" I suggested and we continued exploring Disney world
