The sun shone through Tony's window. He blinked his eyes and looked at his alarm clock, six-fifty eight. He had managed to beat the alarm by two minutes. He sat up in bed, turned off the alarm, and walked over to his dresser. He tossed on a nice pair of blue jeans his Ohio State t-shirt. Poked his head in the room across from his. His now six-year-old son Andrew was sleeping with his teddy bear under his arm. He was getting ready to wake Andrew up for daycare when he heard a crash coming from his kitchen. He ran back across the hall, grabbed his gun from the safe, and ran down the hall to the kitchen.

"Who's there?!" Tony demanded.

"It's me don't shoot!" Gibbs cried.

"Boss what are you doing here?" Tony asked lowering his gun.

"Just popped in to say hi on my way to work. Thought I would make you coffee, didn't realize that drawer was loose. I'll pop by and help ya fix it later." Gibbs explained pointing to the drawer that had fallen to the floor.

"Well thanks but you'll see me in a bit at work," Tony replied.

"I figured you'd call in today." Gibbs replied.

"Why would I call in Andrew and I are both healthy and neither of us have appointments?" Tony asked.

"Don't you remember what today is?" Gibbs questioned.

"August seventh why? Oh my God. Today is one year since Andrew came home." Tony gasped.

"Exactly and I was thinking that you would want to spend the day with your boy." Gibbs explained.

"I can't believe I forgot. I am such an idiot." Tony replied.

"You are not an idiot the past couple years have been hard on you." Gibbs assured.

"Today is the one year anniversary of me realizing my son was alive. I should have remembered. What kind of father forgets that?" Tony explained.

"It's OK you remember that. That's all that matters." Gibbs assured.

"Grandpa Gibbs!" Andrew cried running into the kitchen and jumping into Gibbs's arms.

"Hey Andrew I missed you little guy." Gibbs replied.

"I start first grade in a month." Andrew commented.

"I know you do that's very exciting." Gibbs replied tussling Andrew's hair.

"I love school. Did you like school? My daddy didn't like it very much." Andrew explained.

"I didn't like school either. I wasn't the smartest kid." Gibbs sighed.

"But I thought you had to be really smart to be a Marine." Andrew replied.

"Well I guess I am smarter than I thought but I didn't really apply myself." Gibbs explained.

"I was an OK student I just got bullied a lot." Tony admitted.

"Do you remember any of their names? I could kick their asses." Gibbs offered.

"You said a swear!" Andrew cried.

"Butts! I could kick their butts!" Gibbs corrected.

"Well thanks Boss but it's a little late for that." Tony replied.

"Well I best get going enjoy your day with Andrew." Gibbs replied.

"You're letting my daddy take off?" Andrew asked.

"Yeah because today is the one year anniversary of when you guys were reunited." Gibbs explained.

"Oh yeah! That was the best day ever!" Andrew cried.

"It was amazing for me too." Tony replied.

"Well I will leave you two to enjoy your day." Gibbs replied.

"Bye Boss I will see you tomorrow." Tony replied.

"Bye Grandpa Gibbs!" Andrew cried.

After Gibbs left Tony picked up the broken drawer and placed it on the counter. Before going to the fridge to prepare breakfast for himself and his son. He could not a year had already passed since the fateful day he was reunited with his son. Even though he had forgotten the date. He could never forget the moment he was reunited with his son. He still gets choked up at the memory of Andrew running into his arms. Back in the office area of Abby's lab. It was exactly the same way Andrew ran into Gibbs' arms that morning. He had done it countless times before his assumed death and he had done it countless times after but that time was perfect. It was something Tony had dreamed about ever since the day of the accident. He did learn to appreciate it every time his son ran into his arm, hugged him, or even woke up in the morning. Even though he was thrilled to have his son back the past year had not been easy. It had been a year of court battles, legal drama, late nights, and on and off protection detail as the case made its way through the court. It really stuck to him that Jeanne had gotten off on insanity and would just serve time in a mental health institution. After what she had put Tony and Andrew through she should have been locked up for life with no hope of parole. Tony and Andrew would struggle the rest of their lives to cope with what had happened. It broke Tony's heart every time Andrew had nightmares and couldn't go to birthday parties because he was afraid to go to the park. Before his abduction Andrew had loved the park. Now he was convinced that if he went back he would get taken away again and more members of his family would end up dead.

"Daddy?" Andrew called.

"What is it Andy?" Tony asked.

"I miss mommy." Andrew admitted.

"So do I buddy so do I." Tony replied.

"Can we go to her grave?" Andrew asked.

"Of course but let's eat breakfast first." Tony replied placing a plate in front of his son.

"Alright" Andrew replied.

"This is a very special day. Is there anything else you want to do?" Tony asked.

"Can we go see Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Breena, and Cousin Victoria?" Andrew asked.

"Well Uncle Jimmy is at work but we can see Aunt Breena and Cousin Victoria." Tony replied.

A/N: Is this as good as "Common Tragedy" or does it have the sequel curse? New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
