Ch1
Tony pulled into the driveway with a big grin on his face. Today was the day he and Kate were bringing Hannah home. Taylor squealed with excitement from the back seat as she saw all of her Aunts and Uncles and her Grandfather standing on the porch with a big banner hanging up that said "WELCOME HOME KATE AND HANNAH!"
Tony put the car in park and he helped Kate get out of the car as she was still a little weak. Taylor didn't hesitate jumping out of the car as she ran into her Grandfathers waiting arms. He scooped her up and hugged her to him.
"Welcome home to you too baby." He kissed her forehead and put her down as Tony and Kate walked into the house with Hannah sound asleep in Kates arms. Everyone else followed and Kate, Tony and Taylors eyes opened wide. In front of them were platters of cheese and crackers, cold cuts, potato chips and pretzels, a big vegetable platter, all sorts of breads, drinks, and plates, cups, napkins and silverware. Abby hugged the three of them from behind.
"We figured you wouldn't feel like thinking of meals for awhile, so we also stocked your freezer with meals Ziva and I cooked. All you have to do is throw them in the oven."
Kate handed Hannah to Tony and hugged Abby.
"Thank you so much Abby. You know us too well. This is all greatly appreciated everyone. Thank you so much." She hugged Ziva next and then everyone else and Tony spoke.
"Yeah everyone thanks so much. Now lets dig in!" Everyone laughed at that because that would be a typical Tony reply.
Kate put Hannah down in her bassinet in their bedroom and then joined everyone taking the baby monitor with her. She looked around. Taylor was busy trying to throw the little pretzels into her Daddys mouth. Ziva was showing Abby something on her phone. Gibbs was discussing something with Ducky and Palmer was making a plate. She smiled and walked over to Taylor and Tony and picked her daughter up and put her on her lap. Taylor handed her a plate.
"Here Mommy. Daddy and I made you a plate."
"Thanks sweetie. This looks great. How about you eat something for me now ok?"
As Taylor ate her sandwich Tony and Kate looked at each other and Tony took her hand.
"I love you Kate."
"I love you too Tony."
About 2 hours later after everyone finished and everything was cleaned up the company was getting ready to leave when Hannah woke up. Ziva smiled.
"Ah..it ok if we stay a little while longer?" Kate laughed.
"Of course you can. Let me go get her." Tony stopped her.
"I'll go get her. " Kate giggled as Tony ran up the stairs. It was obvious Hannah was going to be another Daddys girl. Taylor followed him into their bedroom as he gently lifted her out of the bassinet. He held her to her chest.
"Daddy can I hold the baby now?"
"Not yet sweetie. I think its time for Mommy to feed her. What do you say we bring her down so Mommy can feed her and then you can hold her ok?" He looked at Hannah and kissed her forehead.
"Isnt that right baby girl."
Taylor frowned. SHE was baby girl. Tony didn't notice as he walked out of the room with Hannah. Taylor followed him with her arms folded against her chest.
When they got downstairs nobody noticed Taylor upset as everyone made a fuss over Hannah. Tony handed the baby to Kate.
"Its time for her to be fed. " Kate nodded towards Taylor and walked away as Tony walked over to her. He picked her up.
"Taylor. Baby girl whats wrong?" She didn't answer him and Gibbs cleared his throat.
"Come on team. Lets give them privacy. We can come back tomorrow."
Abby groaned as McGee took her by the arm.
"Come on Abbs Gibbs is right. Lets let them get settled. We'll see you guys tomorrow."
Tony walked them to the front door with a still pouting Taylor.
"Thanks again for everything you guys, We'll see you all tomorrow."
They left and Tony turned towards his daughter.
"Ok sweetie. Talk to me. Tell me whats wrong."
"You called Hannah baby girl Daddy. I thought I was baby girl." Tony hugged her to him.
" Oh baby girl. I'm sorry. You are right. You ARE my baby girl, but now so is Hannah. You both are. Remember what we talked about at the hospital? Just because your Mom and I love Hannah doesn't mean we love you any less. No matter how old you get…even when you are thirty five and dating which I don't want to think about(Taylor giggled) you will STILL be my baby girl. I promise. I love you very much Taylor. Now come on. While Mom is feeding her what do you say and I we go play on the swing set?"
Taylor excitedly ran out the back door and Tony was right behind her when Kate stopped him.
"Tony she needs to be changed. You want to be there for her first changing?" Tony turned towards Taylor.
"I'm sorry Taylor. Mommy needs me. We can swing later I promise ok baby girl?"
Taylor got mad and stomped past Tony and Kate. With one hand Kate grabbed her by the shirt.
"Hold on there young lady. You need to walk into the house nicely. Daddy will play with later."
Taylor wriggled free and stuck her tongue out at the baby and ran upstairs and slammed her door. Tony and Kate looked at each other and sighed. It was what they feared. A case of sibling rivalry. They walked up to their room and changed Hannah. Tony looked down at her and touched her cheek. He smiled. He picked her up and sat down in the rocking chair with her. He looked at Kate who was walking out of the room.
"Where are you going?"
"To talk to Taylor."
"Lets let her calm down Kate. I'll talk to her later. I promise."
"Tony I don't know. "
"She'll be ok. Now why don't you lay down and rest? I'll take care of everything. I'll talk to Taylor but first I just want to stare at my beautiful baby girl."
"Yeah I guess I am a little tired. Ok but you better talk to her later."
She walked over to the bed not noticing that Taylor was listening. She started to cry as Tony sang to Hannah and rocked her. That was HER song that he always sang to her. She didn't want a baby sister anymore. She hated her. She went back into her room and flung herself on the bed.
Soon Tony put the baby back in the bassinet and Kate was fast asleep. He went towards Taylors room but the doorbell rang. Instead he went downstairs to answer the door. As he went downstairs Taylor walked out of her room with something behind her back. Checking to make sure the coast was clear, she walked into her parents room and over to the bassinet. She pulled a marker out from behind her back and pulled the cap off.
A few minutes later Tony walked back upstairs. He was walking towards Taylors room when something caught his eye. He walked into his room and looked shocked. He ran over to Hannah and picked her up. She had marker all over her face, her hands, and her arms. He turned towards Taylor with an angry look on his face. With one hand he took her by the arm and brought her back to her room so they wouldn't wake Kate.
"Taylor Joy Dinozzo what is the MATTER with you? How could you do this to your sister?"
"I hate her Daddy. I don't want a baby sister anymore. She ruined everything. "
"Don't say that. She is your baby sister. You are supposed to love her and look after her remember? You will not leave this room tonight."
Kate walked into the room and gasped when she saw the baby. She turned towards Taylor.
"Taylor Joy! How could you? How could you hate your sister so much? You better hope I can get this off!" She took the baby from Tony and was walking into her room when all of a sudden Taylor ran past Tony. He chased after her.
"Taylor wait where are you going? Come back here!" She ran out the front door and into the street but he was too late. With a loud "TALYOR NO!" the car didn't stop as it hit her and she flew into the air. She hit the pavement as the car kept going. Tony ran over to her and leaned next to her.
"Taylor oh my God baby girl!" He was breathing heavy as he saw her laying there and he wanted to die. He took out his cell and dialed 911.
"Yes my daughter has been hit by a car! No she isn't breathing and theres blood everywhere! Please you gotta hurry! The address is 34 Robin Avenue. Please hurry!" He hung up the phone and touched her face.
"Hang on baby girl. Please hang on. God I love her so much don't take her away from me please"
Kate ran outside as fast as she could when she heard screaming. When she saw Taylor laying on the pavement she went hysterical and ran over to her. Tony had to grab her.
"Taylor my God! No no no no! Not my daughter!"
Tony hugged her to him as she cried.
"Tony what the hell happened?" They both leaned next to her and Kate took her hand as the tears streamed down her face.
"I tried to stop her Kate. It all happened too fast. She ran out into the street and the car hit her and didn't even stop! I'm gonna call Gibbs." He took out his cell and dialed.
"Boss you and everyone need to meet me at the hospital! Taylor has been hit by car! The son of a bitch that hit her didn't even stop! I gotta go the ambulance is here just meet us there quick!" He hung up the phone and leaned down next to Taylor again and took her other hand as the ambulance pulled to a stop.
"You just hang on baby girl. You are going to be ok. I'm here and I'm not leaving your side baby girl. I promise." He got choked up. He couldn't lose her. Kate spoke.
"Tony I'm going with you!"
They moved out of way as the paramedics took over.
"Kate you need to stay here with Hannah. We just brought her home. You are breast feeding. You are the only one that can take care of her. I'll stay with her and I'll keep you updated I promise!"
One of the paramedics looked at Tony and Kate ad they loaded Taylor into the ambulance.
"We need to get her to a hospital fast. She is bleeding a lot and fast. One of you can ride with us."
Tony looked at Kate and put a hand to her face as she cried.
"I didn't bring one daughter into this world Tony to lose another. God we cant lose her!"
Tony hugged her to him.
"I'm not leaving her side Kate. If I have to give her both of my kidneys I wont even hesitate. She is going to be ok Kate. I have to go. I'll call Ziva and tell her to stay with you so you aren't alone. I love you." They kissed and Kate kissed Taylors forehead before Tony got in with her and the ambulance sped off towards the hospital.
