~ Chapter 2 ~ Tony's Nightmare

Tony was haunted by what Gibbs had said about him and Kate being married with 2.5 kids if Kate hadn't been killed by Ari … what is a .5 kid anyway? With that thought, he falls fast asleep …

"Tony, it's your turn … Junior is crying. I did last night, tonight it's your turn."

He stirs. "But Kate … I have stakeout duty in the morning, I need to stay sharp, Babe."

"And I need my beauty sleep, now get up!"

He glances at her out of a tiny slit of his left eye. "Aww, Kate … even at 3 A.M. you're beautiful, besides … can you hear that? He points to the baby monitor and Kate looks over at it. That's the, I want Mommy cry." Kate pushes him out of bed and he lands on the floor with a thump.

"Whoa … I really need to stop eating Chinese food before I hit the sack. I wonder if that's what it would have been like if Kate and I had been married? Junior? But I'm Junior … Wow … Anthony DiNozzo III. Kate and I had a boy? I wonder about the other 1.5?"

He falls asleep …

"Tony, Tony, get up … it's your turn … Kate is crying, she wants her daddy. Come on Tony, Gibbs wants me in with the early bees."

Tony bolts up out of a dead sleep. "Ziva! I'm married to Ziva and we have a daughter named Kate! I'm never eating Moo Goo Gai Pan before bed again!"

He falls asleep …

"Hmmm … that feels so good."

"You like that, Babe?"

"I do, I really do."

"Hey, let me help … it's my turn with our man, Kate!"

He slowly opens one eye. "Damn it … why did I wake up! Both Kate and Ziva … where's the half a kid and which half is who's? I need to call McNightmare, maybe he'll write a book about an alternate universe and explain it all to me."

He picks up the phone but notices the time is 3 A.M. He falls asleep.

"I'm telling you McGee … Kate gave birth to half a kid and I swear it looks like Ziva!"

He rolled over and hit the snooze button.
