Chapter 2: Daddy
10 minutes later, I heard a ding and then someone say "Oh my gosh. She can't be." I looked around and then came out of the back room. Abby must have called everyone down in an emergency, because when I got there, everyone came rushing in the room. She opened up my file and my father's face popped up. Everyone's eyes got big and they all were speechless.
The test results had come back and on the screen there was an unexpected face that popped up. "Meet Miss Carmendy, daughter of Anthony DiNozzo Jr." Abby announced. She looked at Tony. "Carmendy Anne DiNozzo. Has a nice ring to it."
She walked up to her printer with the results printing so that Tony, well my father, could bring them to the courtroom to get official custody of me. Then we walked out, still speechless. Gibbs then spoke up as we were in the elevator. "You two leave; take tomorrow off and Ziva with you so that you can get the custody papers signed, and get this sorted out by the time you come back." Then we got out.
After grabbing some things from my dad and Ziva's desk, and checking to make sure that we had the custody papers, since the first time we left them and had to go back, and everything else needed. We got into my dad's mustang and we took off toward the courthouse. The first thing we did when we got there is go through security, which didn't take long at all, because my dad and Ziva had their badges.
4 wrong turns and 2 times asking for directions, which Tony did not think were needed, later we found the custody room. We walked in and saw a judge. She gave my dad like fifty pages to initial and sign then she gave Ziva a witness paper. "You are gorgeous, I love your hair, and your eyes are the perfect shade of emerald. You are a lucky girl to look so pretty!" The judge said.
I knew like everyone else, that she was commenting on my naturally wavy dark brown hair that was perfectly tamed and my emerald green eyes that I must have inherited from Tony. In retrospect, it gets kind of annoying and embarrassing after years of being complimented.
Once the papers were all signed, she gave my dad a copy of my birth certificate, which said that my name was Carmendy Anne DiNozzo, my birthday was June 25th 1999, and I was 13 years and 8 months old, well I did that math on my own.
We headed out of the courthouse, with a large sum of money from a check that was from my mother's bank account that was taken from her and given to my dad when she went to Gitmo. Then we got in the car.
On the way home we passed by a subdivision with a sign that said OPEN HOUSE. The subdivision was a 10 minute walk from the navy building. All of a sudden my dad stopped short pulling into the parking lot of the subdivision and I was pulled back by the seatbelt and yelled ouch. "Sorry, I just remembered I have a one bedroom apartment and I don't think that you want to share a bedroom with me." He said laughingly.
"Ya, I think you got that one right." I laughed
We walked into the house, since it was an open house and looked around. I saw a kitchen, a living room, the master bedroom, a staircase leading downstairs and upstairs, and an island. Then I walked upstairs and looked at the open room leading to a hallway. I walked down the hall and saw 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms all had walk-in closet. Needless to say, I liked the house.
I walked back downstairs and my dad was also smiling. We heard the door open and saw a blonde peppy lady walk through and Ziva reached for her gun. "Hi! My name is Lisa Lockwood. I am the real estate agent here. I noticed you come into the house, so here I am." She said loudly.
"We are interested, how much are you selling this apartment for?" My dad asked.
"After all of the deductions, one hundred ten thousand dollars." She said smiling.
Then my dad looked at me and Ziva, who I knew were closer than I thought, even though they weren't dating; yet. "Campfire" he said.
I just looked at him blackly as he signaled me over and we started whispering.
"This house is big and cheap, I snatch up the deal before she realized how cheap she's letting it go for." He said
"Ya, and you can even run to work on the warmer days to get rid of the hibernation weight." Ziva stated, laughing.
I joined in laughing as Tony spoke again. "Very funny guys."
"Lets buy it, considering that you are most likely going to use my money that I inherited." I said.
"Ya, we share it, that is what the contract said." He replied
Me and my dad looked at each other and nodded. Then my dad spoke up. "We'll take it."
She gave my dad lots of papers to sign and me and Ziva went upstairs to what would be my bedroom. I started planning considering that I had an obscene amount of money right now, because I got all of my mother's money and she was rich, until she got stupid and landed in prison. I decided I wanted an Ohio State bedroom since that was the school I dreamed about going to.
Walking back downstairs I heard my dad and Lisa talking. "How early can we take it?" he asked.
"It's all yours." She replied walking out of the house.
Then me and my dad ran around claiming rooms like little children while Ziva just shook her head laughing. We made a mutual agreement that I got all of upstairs and Tony got the master bedroom and the basement.
Now that we had a house it was time for furniture shopping. Boy would that be interesting.
Please remember to review! I'll be back tomorrow for you guys! :)
