Jimmy stood completely frozen as he starred down at his new son in a state of shock. Could he be holding Tony's baby brother in his arms right now. He wouldn't put it past DiNozzo Senior to have at least one bastard child. With his history of sleeping with just about any female with a pulse. Accorrding to Tony his father had been sleeping around as long as he could remember. He knew the could just as easily be Tony's if you just factored in the looks. Not the fact that Tony in reality didn't sleep with that many woman. He had a hard time getting attached enough to a woman to sleep with her. He'd watch movies and maybe string her along then just break it off. Also he knew that Tony would never deny a child. Jimmy was one of the few people who knew that Tony had secretly wished for a family. The obvious give away though was that the note said business man. Unless Tony had gone undercover as one recently. It couldn't be him.
"Jimmy? Jimmy? Are you okay? Jimmy?" Breena asked poking her head in the room.
"I...I think I know who the father is." Jimmy replied nervously.
"I thought we were done with this!" Breena yelled.
"I think this may be Tony's dad's baby." Jimmy replied.
"Isn't he kind of old?" Breena asked.
"He's sixty eight so it is rare but not unheard of." Jimmy replied.
"Okay what do we do now?" Breena asked.
"Well I can have Abby run a DNA test on him and after that I don't know." Jimmy replied.
"How?" Breena asked.
"If this is Tony's brother he'd have shared DNA." Jimmy replied.
"I know that but how are you going to ask Tony for a DNA sample?" Breena asked.
"I will talk to him." Jimmy replied.
"I don't really have to ask you this but if Tony's father changes his mind. You won't let him pay you out right?" Breena asked.
"Of course not I wouldn't give DiNozzo Senior a goldfish after what he did to Tony when he was growing up." Jimmy replied.
"I knew you wouldn't I just had to ask." Breena replied.
"You...You won't either right?" Jimmy asked.
"Of course not Jimmy." Breena replied.
"I know I just worry." Jimmy replied.
"He really is a cute little guy." Jimmy said as they tucked their new son in later that night.
"He is he needs a name you know." Breena replied.
"Do you want to name after your dad?" Jimmy asked.
"No my sister has a son named Edward." Breena replied.
"I know I just wanted to check." Jimmy replied.
"You said you wanted to use Donald?" Breena asked.
"Yes first or middle name?" Jimmy asked.
"Well we should pick the other name first see how it flows." Breena replied.
"We should use an Italian name in case he is related to Tony." Jimmy replied.
"I have always like the name Gabriel." Breena said hopefully.
"I love it Gabriel Donald Palmer." Jimmy replied.
"It's perfect." Breena replied.
Around four in the morning Jimmy and Breena were awakend by the sound of Gabriel screaming. Breena had already gotten up twice already. So Jimmy sighed and climbed out of bed. After awkwardly fumbling for his glasses he headed down the hall to his son's room. He bent over the crib and scooped Gabriel into his arms. He realized right right away that Gabriel needed a diaper change. After changing his son's diaper Jimmy sat in the rocking chair and cuddled the baby in his arms. Jimmy looked down at his son's face. Tony must have looked just like this when he was a baby. Jimmy wondered if anyone had rocked Tony like this when he was this age. Tony. had mentioned that his father had missed his birth and at least the first month of his life. Tony's mom at least cared for him but along with battling serious health issues since she was a teenager she was also a severe drunk, and drug addict. Who would pass out around midnight and not wake until late the next day. It broke Jimmy's heart to think that baby Tony had probably just lay there screaming his little head off. Until a maid or nanny cared to attend to him and that was llikely the bare minimum of care. Feeding, burping, changing and any other needs he may have but no cuddling or cooing.
"Hey little guy I'm your daddy. Well not your real daddy but your mommy and I decided to adopt a little baby. Which means we decided to let someone else give us their baby because they couldn't take care of it for whatever reason. To people who maybe had a little trouble making a baby of their own." Jimmy explained.
"ahhuhhh" Gabriel cooed.
"Well your if your real father is who I think he is he is not a very good man and you are better of without him. Now your real mommy I don't know about her but at least she turned you over to people who could care for you when she couldn't." Jimmy explained.
"aaaahhhh" Gabriel replied.
"Well the good news is that I think I know your big brother and he is a really great guy. He works with me at NCIS. He is an agent but I work in autopsy. I will explain that later though. Your possible brother is a real hero though. He saves lives every day and doesn't even think of his own. Now he acts like he is the greatest man alive but really he is more realistic. You are going to love him when you meet him. In fact I may take you to NCIS tomorrow. Would you like that?" Jimmy asked.
"uhhhh" Gabriel said.
"I'll take that as a yes." Jimmy replied.
"Is everything okay?" Breena asked leaning in the doorway.
"Yeah I was just telling Gabriel about some things." Jimmy replied.
"Oh yeah?" Breena asked.
"Uh haa" Jimmy yawned.
"Come on let's get back to bed." Breena replied.
"Alright" Jimmy replied.
Jimmy placed Gabriel back in his crib and then followed Breena back to their bedroom. Thankfully Gabriel slept the rest of the night. The next morning Breena got Gabriel ready since her father was coming over to meet his new grandson. That afternoon she had a doctor's appointment. Meaning Jimmy would be alone with Gabriel. He had already gotten permission to take him by NCIS and show him off.
