I want to thank everyone who alerted and review this story. I had only intended this to be a one shot but I have had a few requests for a bit more. So here is a short epilog to the story. Enjoy.

EPILOG:

The paramedics finally arrived and placed the new mother and baby on the stretcher. Tony knelt down beside them and pulled the blanket away from the sleeping babies face.

"She's beautiful, just like her mother."

"How can I thank you, Agent Dinozzo. I could never have done it without you."

"First of all it's Tony, remember. After what we been through together I think we can be on a first name basis." Tony smiled his well known mega watt smile. "Second, the smile this little beauty puts on your face is all the thank you I need."

"Well, thank you anyway." Maggie smiled back as the agent stood and the paramedics began to wheel her away.

"Oh, wait." Maggie reached up and grabbed Tony's arm, stopping the stretcher. "I do have one thing to ask?"

"What's that?" Tony knelt down again.

"Would you care, I mean, would you mind very much if I name her Toni, in your honor?"

Tony was dumbfounded. He had never had anyone do anything so wonderful. He looked up at Gibbs and his father. Jackson was smiling brightly and Gibbs nodded his approval.

Blinking away the tears that suddenly filled his eyes he looked back at the new mother. "I don't know what to say, I would be more than honored. Thank you."

A tear ran down Maggie's face as Tony first kissed her forehead and then her daughter's. "You take care of this little one and yourself. I'll come by as soon as I can to check on you."

Unable to speak, she simply shook her head as the paramedic wheeled her away.

The three men remaining watched as the elevator closed. Tony dropped his head to his chest, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Feeling a hand on his shoulder he opened his eyes and looked into the crystal blue eyes of his boss.

"You did good, Tony. I'm proud of you, real proud. Now, grab your gear and let's go."

"Go, go where?" Tony asked after the two men as they headed for the elevator.

"Home with us, Dinozzo. It is Christmas Eve."

"Thanks, boss, but that's not necessary. I'll either just stay here or go on home to my apartment"

Stopping and turning around Gibbs walked right up to his agent and smacked him on the back of the head. "That was not a request, Dinozzo. Get moving."

"Now Leroy, was that necessary?" Jackson smirked and then addressed Tony. "Let the more polite of the Gibbs clan invite you to spend Christmas with us."

"Thank you, Jackson, but Christmas is a time for families to spend time together."

"Exactly!" Both Gibbs men said in unison.

Looking from one man to the other, Tony was speechless. Were these two really saying what he could only hope they were saying?

"But…"

"No buts, Dinozzo, grab your gear, or you'll miss Santa Claus." Gibbs smiled as he and his father once again headed for the elevator.

Grabbing his back pack and throwing it over his shoulder Dinozzo started after the two men.

"Hey, Dinozzo." Gibbs stuck his head out of the elevator door. "Don't forget that DVD of your, if you intend on having your Dinozzo tradition tonight."

"On it Boss!" Tony smiled as he removed the DVD from his computer and ran for the elevator.

THE END

Hope this was OK for an official ending. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that your New Year is the best yet.
