Prologue

Prue Halliwell stares at the pregnancy test in her hand in horror, there was no way in hell she could raise a kid with the way her life was and damned thing was her father was a damned cop that had come out for a convention of some sort. Thankfully he did leave her his name, stressing the junior part so she would not confuse him with his father. Tony had seemed decent enough and she did need to tell him, first though she needed to place a glamour over herself so her sisters wouldn't know she was pregnant. Though she did call her father and explain everything to him and the fact that she didn't want her sisters to know about their future niece or nephew.

Anthony DiNozzo Jr. stares at his phone in shock, it had finally happened, he had finally knocked a woman up and she wanted him to take full custody. If it had been any other woman he would have asked for proof but, he knew damn well Prue Halliwell was a no-nonsense type of woman, not one for casual affairs. Thankfully there was another conference he was going to attend around when his child should be born, plus his lawyer and frat brother was going to be out there too so they could get all the legal stuff settled fairly easily. He knew Prue had two sisters, both younger, and a living father whom actually hated his dad. He had met Victor Bennet before and liked the man, he'd let him see his granddaughter.

March 30, 1998:

Somehow Prue had managed to get away from her siblings, mostly because Phoebe had her head wrapped up in Cole and Piper was still enjoying that newly married bliss, this meant she was at the hospital but not alone, Tony was there and they had already dealt with the legalities though Prue would feed their child for the first two weeks so she could gain her mother's immunities. Prue wasn't surprised by the fact she had a daughter, seemed to run in the family. Tony had no problem with taking a two week vacation which was half of his paternity leave. Since Prue was a photographer she'd be able to sneak away from her sisters and feed her daughter, " What will you name her, Tony? "

" Serena DiNozzo, not sure about a middle name. "

" Victoria. " Prue murmurs.

" I like it, Serena Victoria DiNozzo. " Tony says, over the coming months Prue had told him about her Wiccan destiny and once she was able to would make sure her daughter had her Wiccaning not to mention a copy of the book, might have to play hard ball with her ball buster grandmother but, Serena would know what she was up against. Tony had already started learning how to keep the evil things out of his home and vehicle. He wouldn't have believed it if Prue hadn't used her TK and then astralled out in front of him. This meant that he would have to be proactive and learn how to summon Patty to watch her granddaughter while he was at work as Prue had discovered that he happened to be a latent empath.

Tony supposed that his hunches made more sense when he looked at it that way. Prue had taught him how to summon ghosts and make them corporeal. Focusing on whom he wanted was going to be the hard part. Prue told him that would come with practice. When Prue walked out of their lives Tony sighs, he might have actually been able to love Prue, instead, he had their baby girl.

May 1998:

Tony heard of Prue's death from Patty but instead of going to her wake he lit a candle in remembrance of her and swore to do everything he could to protect their daughter. He'd started taking different martial arts lessons, and weapons lessons. Patty was teaching him the Wiccan way when he had the time and the first thing he learned how to do was bless pyrite crystals and place them around his home, now in Baltimore, to keep evil out.

He wouldn't have left Philadelphia quite so soon if it wouldn't have been for the fact that he was persona non grata at the moment. At least he was in homicide now and hopefully would not have to be doing anymore undercover work for a while. Thankfully, since he did happen to be a single parent that would be taken into consideration.

2000:

Serena giggles as she works on her TK with grammy. Her daddy would be home soon, she cocks her head and blinks, " Grammy, navy cop come home with daddy, you'll have to do some actin'. "

Patty sighs but goes forth to do her job, being a witch meant she had gotten very good at lying and not even the man with Tony could detect falsehood, mostly because she was telling the truth. For occasions like this Tony maintained a hotel room and Patty goes there, since Tony wouldn't be able to summon her. The Elders had tried to throw a bitch fit until Sailor Cosmos, Queen Artemis the First of the Moon and Silver Millennium had slapped them down, telling them that her heiress needed all the love and protection she could get and that she would bitch slap them all down and make them do their damned jobs correctly instead of sitting on their sanctimonious asses if they fought her on this.

Her mother had found that hilarious and had taped their dressing down so she could watch it whenever she wanted to. Not many were above the golden robed idiots and could actually dress them down. Patty was just amazed that the Moon Princess had been reincarnated again and this time as her granddaughter. At least a part of Prue was still left. Tony grins as he swings his baby girl up and sends a glare at the navy cop. Gibbs, as that was his name immediately understands the meaning of the glare, no shop talk in front of the toddler. After a meal of macaroni and cheese and then cleaning his munchkin up Tony manages to get her to bed.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs watches the young detective with his daughter, how he wished he could have those moments back. The glare he'd received had spoken volumes, that Detective DiNozzo could and would kick his ass if he upset his little girl. " Okay, Gibbs, we're going to set down some ground rules seeing as how you failed to notify the local authorities as to your op. First, I cannot and will not let you run roughshod over any of us seeing as how I had to take down my own partner for being dirty. I also have several other active cases so if I have something going for one of them I can and will take off, leaving you in the dark. Third, you do not need to know everything about me because I can and will find your skeletons if you even attempt it. Fourth, you do not pump my daughter for information. Fifth, I do not work for you so I do not need to follow your orders, is this acceptable to you. "

Gibbs winces, he wasn't used to someone laying down the law to him but, Detective DiNozzo was right, he did have other cases and he didn't work for Gibbs. " It's acceptable, not many people actually stand up to me like this. "

" I have to put my daughter first, which means I can't have you fucking things up for me, got it. "

For the first time the retired Marine was truly being put in his place by someone younger than him. As a father he understood where DiNozzo was coming from, he did not need Gibbs screwing things for him on any of his cases. The fact that he had spelled it out and then leveled Gibbs with a glare that quelled the older man meant DiNozzo was damn well used to having to fight tooth and nail for everything. Didn't he have any support on the force from the higher ups? What Gibbs didn't realize was that no, he didn't have any support from the higher ups though his fellow cops stood by him in the shadows, no one wanted to lose their jobs. The only reason he was kept was because of how high his solve rate happened to be.

Tony sighs, he was already putting out feelers for a new place of employment as he was getting tired of dealing with jackasses. Serena still needed to have her grammy watch her as she still didn't have full control of her powers and Tony refused to bind them. She already had her mother's TK, and apparently Penny Halliwell, her great-grandmother also had been gifted with TK. She was also showing signs of empathy as well and that wasn't that unusual since his empathy had fully developed once he had realized it was there and started training it. After that he had started to realize it wasn't just empathy that his realizations and leaps of logic came from, he apparently had telepathy as well.

He had slapped Gibbs down just now because he had heard the man's surface thoughts, he always got those no matter what. Tony was not going to let himself be run over by a fed even if he was considering making the leap to fed. He had managed to get his masters in Criminology, Forensics, Physical Education, and Psychology while working and raising his daughter. Though he did make sure to take plenty of pictures and he even had one of Serena with her mother and several others of Prue. She'd understood that Tony wanted their daughter to know what she looked like though Tony doubted she had expected to die so early.

Chap 1

2002:

Tony sighs as he gets his four year old ready for the day, unfortunately his nanny, magical nanny at that was sick and he had no one to watch his little girl. Why he had decided to work for Gibbs he had no clue. Tony settles her in his car, having made sure to bring plenty of stuff for his toddler to do before calling Gibbs, " Hey, boss, nanny called in sick at the last moment, Serena's gonna be with me for today. "

" If we get a case take her down to Abby. " Gibbs says and the call ends. Tony had only had to bring Serena to work at NCIS rarely. Still Abby loved his daughter and Serena loved her Auntie Abby, Serena had literally dubbed her Auntie Abby as she knew her daddy viewed Abby as a younger sister after a little while.

" Remember, no powers unless it's life or death, Serena. "

" I know, Papa. "

" Good girl, make sure if you end up with Abby that she takes you for an actual meal and no CafPow for you. "

Serena shoots him a look that he interprets correctly, what-the-hell-are-high-on-anyhow? How she could pull off that look he didn't know, she was four for goddess' sake. Tony blinks, when had he fully converted to Wicca anyhow? Serena giggles and Tony groans, " No laughing at my thoughts, munchkin. "

Serena just giggles even more at this and Tony sighs, " You are so cruel to your dear old dad, Serena. "

They've reached NCIS by this time and Tony parks before gathering all of his and his daughter's stuff up, signing them in through security, and then getting in the elevator. Serena sighs and astrals out. Tony blinks and curses, he'd forgotten about her motion sickness. Once the elevator stops he nudges her telepathically and she returns to her body. The four year old walks out of the elevator and straight to her father's desk where she waits for him and imperiously holds out a hand for her bag.

Tony winces as she digs out her coloring books and crayons. He goes over to what had been Blackadder's desk and sets to work. Gibbs blinks, " What did you do this time, DiNozzo? Not often she literally takes over your desk. "

" Forgot to take the stairs. "

Only Gibbs knew about Tony and Serena's powers, plus Serena's horrible motion sickness. " Well, ya deserve it, DiNozzo. "

Serena giggles and Tony looks at his daughter, " Disney movie night. "

" No, anime. "

Tony winces, " Munchkin, why? "

" Anime better. " Serena states.

Gibbs chuckles watching the father daughter antics. " Fine, Miyazaki's films it is though only Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. " Tony says.

Serena grins but still refuses to let him have his desk. Tony pouts at this and sets to work though he goes over to his desk to get some of his paperwork. Thankfully he was very good at getting paperwork done. That included his and Gibbs' paperwork. Director Morrow walks down and shakes his head, " Get in trouble with the sweet little duchess yet again, Agent DiNozzo? "

Tony moans at this, " Does this happen that often at work? "

" Surprisingly, yes. " Director Morrow tells him.

" Huh, munchkin, what did I do last time? "

" You forgot Scruffy. "

Tony flinches at this, Scruffy was her all-time favorite stuffed animal from her maternal grandfather, Victor Bennet. Victor hadn't told his daughters and their half-sister Paige about Serena's existence, respecting Prue's wishes in that regard, she had told him and asked him to help Tony out when he could. Victor always managed to show up for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Serena's birthday no matter where his granddaughter and Tony were living. He'd also send them post cards and souvenirs from wherever he happened to be.

Director Morrow escorted Serena up to his office when her dad and Gibbs got called out on a case, " Let me know if you need anything, Serena. I really should see about opening up a daycare for my agents, huh? "

" I generally have a nanny, she got sick at the last second and papa didn't have time to call anyone else. "

Everyone knew Serena DiNozzo was smarter than the average four year old she just preferred her coloring books and crayons. Another things was the fact that she hated finger painting but loved macaroni art. Serena focuses on her coloring and then she blinks, ' Daddy, why'd you get tossed out of a car? '

' Pretended to be a body to fool Fornell. ' Tony replies.

' Got it, you'll be back soon, right? '

' Yeah, got to go on what was once Air Force One, met a Secret Service Agent, Gibbs may actually offer her a job, he seems to like her. '

Serena continues to color, Director Morrow had gotten an agent to run to the diner nearby and get her some rice. Another had gotten her some apple juice from a vending machine as well. Serena eats while coloring and shushes her papa when he comes in to visit her, " Coloring is more important than me, I'm hurt, munchkin. "

" Great Oz, quit being a drama king. "

Tony pouts and squats down beside his daughter to see what she was working on so diligently. The picture she had chosen to color was Sailor Moon, yeah, she had a sailor senshi coloring book. " How do you know what colors to use? "

" Eternal Sailor Moon, white for the most part. "

She couldn't tell him she had been Sailor Moon and knew what she looked like. She had also colored Princess Serenity in as well and studiously avoided Endymion and Tuxedo Mask pictures to color in. She also avoided the Sailor Mars pictures too. Mostly she colored in Sailor Moon and Sailor Saturn. " That still didn't answer my question, munchkin. "

Serena just smiles and continues to color, leaving her dad without an answer. Tony sighs at this, sometimes he swore his daughter was actively keeping things from him. He heads back down to the bullpen and sets back to work. Serena sighs internally, one day she would have to tell him the truth but, that would not be for a long while yet. Thankfully the Halliwell blood hid her Lunar blood well which would make it that much harder for her to be found.
