I like this story and can't wait to see what you do with it, but you should know that there are problems with Willow/Kelly being related.

Technology for egg donation was not commonly available long enough ago for Sheila Rosenberg to have been able to donate while she was in her 20's. (assuming she was in her 20's when Willow was born that would have made Kelly's birth date further back than I think it was (I think Kelly's childhood friend who was in one episode was quite a bit younger than Willow -- but I'm not sure that was discussed in the show at any length, so I think this is less of an issue than the technology.)

(Semen donation has been occurring a lot longer than .)

Sheila Rosenberg would not have been young enough to donate by the time that the technology became available. because there are serious age restrictions on who can donate eggs because of the risk of birth defects in older women. (Older eggs are also less viable)

If we assume that Kelly was born about 20 years ago. 20+ years ago egg donation was not a common procedure -- and Sheila Rosenberg would not have been a good candidate by that age. And Gibbs would probably not have been able to afford such technology -- but people desperate for children will do almost anything, so cost is not really a barrier, it just makes it less likely.

*Embryo* donation would make Kelly Gibb's Willow's full sibling, so I am assuming that's not what you were suggesting -- that Gibb's was not Kelly's father. Embryo donation has also not been readily available since this involves a lot more complex legal issues than egg or semen donation. For one thing, both the man and the woman have to agree before the embryo can be implanted in a third party. It's even less plausible than egg donation.

Thanks for your efforts. I look forward to further developments.

Yeah, I realize I had to warp the reality to get the right technology at the right times. Sorry for that inconsistancy. I do intend to have Willow and Kelly be full blooded siblings. I got the picture that Kelly would have been about 17-19 when Gibbs met her childhood friend again. Yeah, that would make Willow older, but I found that to be less of a problem, honestly, than I expected it to be.
And I must protest. Just because someone is not genetically related doesn't make the child any less theirs. And the legal work on that front has been taken care of for some time now in our world.

NICELY done! I did not see the embryo donation as a possibility but hey it worked...very well done indeed....

Pretty clean introduction and all but the voices aren't those I know. Gibbs maybe Ducky, pretty
good Abby I'd say no. Willow does deserve a better role model than she got in the series though.
I'm glad I caught the story after the fifth chapter. I did enjoy if over all.

What an intriguing way to have Willow's past intersect with Gibbs'! I look forward to reading those additional chapters you have outlined.

Its interesting to see how Willow found the data requested. I was also glad to see why Willow and Xander ended up here. Nice addition to the story.

Nice, I'm really glad to see you continue the story. I'm glad to see that you answered the question why Willow and Xander left the Watchers.
I look forward to you next update.

I am really enjoying this and I look forward to seeing what will happen next. I think that Gibbs is a little distant from Ducky, more so than on the show, but I am still enjoying thie fic and look forward to see what will happen next.

Thanks

So far a great story. I hope there are plans to continue with more chapters. I do have one question on Gibbs' character in chapter 3, Gibbs usually calls Doctor Mallard "Duck" or "Ducky". I still want to say I enjoyed the story so far and can't wait for the next chapter to be posted.

Sadly, it's going to be a week before I get a chance to post any more. Sorry all!

Ohhhhh nice job and based on further clues let's go for a donated embryo or possibly a donated egg, however the embryo might be more interesting Gibbs as a father hmmmm

I'm liking this story so far.

The only thing I'm having a little problem with is I find it a little difficult to believe that the concil would let Xander and Willow out without somekind of Slayer coverage. I assume you'll be covering that so I'll just wait and see.

Looking foward to more.

I've got three ways they would be here without slayer support, and I haven't decided which route I'll be taking for sure yet. I'll see only a short time before you do! (grin)

Very nice, I like how you are fleshing everyones job roll out. Good work.

I've just watched the season finale last night, so this is especially intriguing. On the show it sounded as if Tony was transfered to a ship position. I though there was only 1 NCIS agent per ship. Is that wrong, or are you going out of canon to transfer him to a different office?

The Ducky is excellent - abuse away.

You are absolutely correct. I made a mistake and deleted the finale from Windows Media Player, so couldn't fact check that.

I'll go back and change it.

OK I'm taking a really ordinary guess and going for Willow being Kelly's twin? Could be wrong but I do like the build up....looking forward to the next chapter!

Close, but not quite...

good story, and 3 chapters so fast, who here isn't impressed? its like i feel that there is no need to send the entirely boring yet classic statement of 'update soon' - weird.

am LOVING this so far.
