Hey guys I know not a lot of people like Jeanne but I think she deserved a story this is Tiva too though heh heh, anyways hope you like it. It takes place one year from fifth season premiere.

The day he signed on to work at NCIS -especially under LJ Gibbs' stare- Tony DiNozzo knew to expect the worst. Being a former Baltimore cop it wasn't too hard just a little more risk.

Okay head slaps were one thing but maybe the plague, being framed for murder and falling in love with your mission crossed the line. Even hanging on a ledge in a parking garage was easier than taking care of a baby. His baby to be exact, miss Savannah Marie DiNozzo.

It was six am when the bell rang and Tony opened the door to find the small bundle wrapped in its cute, pink blanket, sucking on a pacifier. He picked the basket up and carried her in and then opened a card tucked neatly beside her.

"I told you I wasn't coming back for you Tony, so now you have to care for Savannah Marie DiNozzo alone," was written. She didn't sign the card, 'But then why bother', Tony thought as he sighed and glanced at the baby. Savannah stared back with bright green eyes, small chubby cheeks and a cute mouth and nose as she spit out her pacifier and got fussy.

Tony lifted his baby girl up and cradled her gently. By her weight and size Tony guessed she was about a month old and wondered how Jeanne managed her alone and why?

Being a federal agent so long had kicked in some good investigating skills and Tony realized she would be back despite the letter as he saw only one bottle and a few diapers in the basket. There was also a bottle of formula or more commonly breast milk and Tony cringed.

The one good thing was that Tony knew a man who had been a father once. The bad thing was he couldn't ask Gibbs considering the fact that Jeanne had been kept secret for so long.

Savannah now was crying and getting louder and Tony realized she was hungry but was so lost in his thoughts he could barely got the top off. He positioned his child on his arm and put the nipple in her mouth only to forget the baby was too small to hold it as he let go. The bottle fell crashing to the floor ruining his nice clean rug.

"Oh come on," Tony yelled only to startle Savannah and she screamed her cries loud and shrill. Tony rocked her while trying to pick up the fallen bottle. By the time the baby was fed, burped, changed and back to sleep, Tony was exhausted with the day only beginning. The clock read 7:45 and the doorbell rang only to wake up Savannah and she cried.

Aggravated Tony looked at the baby and went to pick her up only for the doorbell to sound off another ten times. With no patience left Tony just decided to leave the baby where she laid on his couch and went to answer the door.

"DiNozzo, you better have a good explanation this time," said Gibbs angrily and Tony sighed and led his gruff boss and two team mates in and over to baby Savannah.

"I swear I did not know about her, Jeanne just left her on my doorstep this morning," Tony said yawning and Gibbs smirked. Gibbs took just one look at Savvy and knew she was a DiNozzo. She had her father's eyes and soon would talk and act just like him Gibbs thought but in a happy sort of way.

Memories of Kelly and Shannon filled his mind as he lifted up the child and rocked her lovingly. The magic touch was there as it had been for Kelly and in minutes Savvy slept peacefully and Ziva and Tim smiled.

"So then find her DiNozzo or else get the kid a badge" Gibbs said softly.

"Boss it's not that easy" Tony replied and Gibbs stared at him.

"Yeah well, DiNozzo, what do you want me to do. This is your baby and your mission with Jen, not mine," Gibbs said still in a low whisper but with a slightly colder tone and placed Savannah back in her basket.

"Come on Gibbs. Don't be such a bastard. You're right, I'm an ass for not saying anything about Jeanne but you have to help me, don't you?" Tony asked, his eyes shining with fear and Gibbs shrugged.

"Just because Abby believes we're some dysfunctional family, doesn't mean you can dump her all on me, Anthony. You will care for her Got it?" Gibbs asked and Tony smiled.

"Sure boss"

"Ziva, take the car with McGee and go find our dead body, Ducky should be there by now, even with Palmer driving. Tell him our dilemma and that the baby will be with Abby," Gibbs ordered and Ziva nodded silently.

She passed Tony and grasped his hand and tony squeezed back. He stepped back with her and lowered his voice "Looks like our plans changed love" he said and Ziva nodded.

"Maybe it's for the wetter" she said and Tony smirked. "Better Ziva and it will be I promise" he said and kissed her cheek grateful that Gibbs had been talking with McGee.

Gibbs had grabbed McGee's arm as he moved to follow. "McGee, you're in charge over there. You know the drill, get it done,"

McGee nodded with a small smile. "Yes boss I won't let you down," he said and Ziva left after bone crushing Tony's hand. "Don't forget you promised Tony" she said and tony nodded.

"DiNozzo, if something happens out there I blame you," Gibbs said and Tony cringed as Gibbs head slapped.

"That's for breaking rule 12 again" Gibbs said but with a smile.
