DISCLAIMER: None of the characters belong to me, even those who don't appear in the show! I just using them for fun—yeah, I am kinky that way—and make no profit. Please, don't sue me!

AUTHOR'S NOTE 1: This story is going to be a part of the Alternative Universe, starting from the fiction by namanKAL (.net/u/1617708/) called "Two fathers versus one son", T version. I read it, and a rabid, saber-toothed, fire-breathing, fluffy, plot-bunny attacked me. The author kindly permitted me to use their plotline and other characters—namely, Tony's father and uncle—for my own story as well as include references to some events taking place in "Two fathers" and other characters. This fiction is a follow-up, wildly AU one, at that. The characters are likely to be out of character, too.

AUTHOR'S NOTE 2: You might need to read "Two fathers" first, to understand some references, but not really. Here's the gist of it: Tony's father suddenly returns in his life. It turns out that he has an identical twin brother, who had kidnapped him and held him prisoner when Tony was really little. It was in fact the uncle who had abused Tony as a child. Now the evil uncle has been taken care of, and the father wants to make amends to Tony for the lost years. However, Tony has already formed a father/son bond with Gibbs, and neither of the older men is willing to share their son. It all ends well, Gibbs legally adopts Tony, and Tony now has two doting fathers. Still, there is a dark cloud looming at the horizon…

My story picks up about 1 year after the end of "Two fathers". The timeline is different from the canon, but it's an AU, so... Chronologically, it takes place in the middle of season 4. "Hiatus" never happened. I also made Tony younger that he presumably is in the show. My Tony graduated from school at 16, from college at 19, and my story starts shortly before his 30th birthday.

AUTHOR'S NOTE 3: The medical information in the story was collected from the web. I did my homework the best I could, but I probably got most of it wrong, seeing that I'm not a medical professional. Please, don't flame me for that!

THANKS AGAIN TO NAMANKAL FOR LETTING ME PLAY IN THEIR SANDBOX!
