The sterile hum of the NCIS bullpen fills your ears as you step off the elevator, Jethro's lunch bag held firmly in your hand. Around you, the team is immersed in case files and the rhythmic clatter of keyboards. Your loose clothing does little to mask the prominent curve of your seven-month pregnancy—the child of the man who runs this office.

"Who are you?" he asks, and the entire room freezes, waiting for your response.
