Tony was sitting in the bullpen thinking back to last year, when the team lost one of their own. Caitlin Todd. She was like a sister to him and when he saw her fall on that rooftop he was devastated, but he knew one person took her death to his heart. That person was Gibbs. Tony had notice that Gibbs hadn't been the same since Kate died and he didn't know why. He had asked Ducky about it and he had told Tony something about loosing a agent, a female agent. But to Tony that wasn't what was different about Gibbs. Loosing a female agent, yeah that could be, but he knew from day one that there was some kind of special bond between Gibbs and Kate. Tony's thoughts was soon interrupted by Ziva.

"Tony why is Gibbs not here yet?" Ziva asked. Tony looked at her and then over to Gibbs' desk, it was empty. The boss was never late for work, but then again this wasn't a normal day for Gibbs or himself or the team for that matter.

"Well Ziva I don't know, but it might have something to do with the date"

"Has it already been a year?" Tony heard McGee ask. Tony looked at him and nodded. How could he forget what today was. Tony would never forget this date, with time it would become easier for him to deal with, but he would never forget.

"Yeah it has and he may be late for going to her grave" Tony said after some time. He knew he would go down to Kate's grave and put flowers on there every year to come, and today would be the first day of his little tradition. His lips turned upwards in the corner, but not enough for the others to notice. Ziva was about to say something when the doors to the elevator opened and Gibbs walked out.

Tony didn't notice right away, but as Gibbs came closer Tony could see that Gibbs was carrying a little child. Tony was a little confused, why would Gibbs be carrying a child and why bring it here? He wanted to ask Gibbs those questions, but knew Gibbs would tell at some point.

Gibbs walked off the elevator with a girl in his arms. He didn't care what the others would think about it, all he wanted was to get this day over with as soon as possible. And for that to happen he had to go down and see Ducky. He would just have gone down there directly, but because of the little girl in his arms he had to go to the bullpen first. He didn't want to take the girl down to autopsy.

He had the little girl secure in his arms. With the right hand holding her firm into him and the other caressing her back. Her head was in the crook of his neck. He could tell by her breathing that she was fast asleep, which he would like her to do until he could get her home again.

Gibbs came to a halt in front of Tony's desk and look at him. He then gave the sleeping girl to Tony and walked back to the elevator.

"Tony make sure she's okay till I get back" he said as he got into the elevator and pressed to bottom for autopsy.

Tony looked from the sleeping girl in his arms to the elevator Gibbs just got into. He then looked at the others for some answers, but didn't get any and looked back at the little girl in his arms to take a closer look.

Tony was almost afraid to move. He didn't want to wake the sleeping girl and get the yelling from Gibbs. But he also want answers.

"Does anybody know why Gibbs came in with a girl who is now in my arms? She doesn't look more than one and a half to two years old. Did we get a new case we didn't know about before now or maybe something else? But she kinda looks familiar, doesn't she?" said Tony while looking at the girl. The girl had brown hair and was petite. Ziva and McGee just looked shocked and didn't answer Tony's question. After some time Abby came into the bullpen.

"Hi have you seen... Who is that little girl?" Abby stopped in the middle of her sentence when she saw the little girl in Tony's arms.

"Uhmmm. We don't know Abby. Gibbs just came in with her, gave Tony the girl and walked to the elevator" McGee said to Abby. Abby took a good look at the girl and smiled. She recognized the look of the little girl, she knew who the father was just by looking at the girl. She knew it had to be a secret because otherwise they would all know who the little girl was. She wouldn't tell Gibbs' secret. He would tell when he was ready.

"Why are you smiling Abby?" asked Ziva

"Ohh nothing, she looks familiar" Abby said as she stepped closer. The team went to stand beside Tony and just looked at the little girl. Within minutes the girl woke up and started to cry. Tony didn't know what to do and gave the girl to McGee. The girl started to cry louder and louder so Ziva tried to calm her down. That didn't work either. Then Abby gave it a try, just then Tony saw something. He stood with his mouth open and just stared at the crying girl.

"What now Tony?" asked McGee

"Can't you see it?" McGee shook his head no "look at the eyes. She has the same eyes as Gibbs" Tony said still a little bit in shock. Then McGee's mouth was open for seeing what Tony saw. Abby couldn't get the crying baby to stop and gave it back to Tony.

"You're right Tony, she has the same eyes as Gibbs" Ziva said as she saw it too. Just then Gibbs came walking off the elevator and over to the team.

Gibbs saw the expression on both Tony's, McGee's and Ziva's faces but ignored them. He looked at Abby and saw something else. He knew she would have figured it out before the others, but didn't want to answer the questions now. He walked over to Tony to take the crying girl who had seen him and was now holding her arms out for him to take her. When she was secure in his arms she stopped crying. Which was a surprise for the team. They by now knew he was her father, but seeing that made it all real. With the girl in his arms Gibbs walked to the elevator to go home.

"What just happened?" Ziva was the first person who found her voice again.

"I don't know, but the girl stopped crying. Maybe Gibbs is the father" said McGee still not believing it before the words came out of Gibbs' mouth. Tony just nodded, he knew what McGee was talking about. Tony looked back at the elevator again without saying anything. Maybe this day was doing something to Gibbs, something Tony couldn't put a finger on, but he would soon find out.

Please tell me what you think. Should I continue?
