Tony was sitting at his desk it was the fourth day in a row with no case or anything. It seemed as if everything in the world was dead except him and the team. He knew that wasn't true but there was no crimes being committed, none that was in their jurisdiction at least. He sat there feeling very uneasy about the fact that nothing was going on. Was it the calm before the storm? He wondered he was about to say something when his phone rang. He looked to the caller ID, he didn't recognize the number but he answered it anyways.
"DiNozzo" he answered.
"Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo?" asked the caller
"Yes." He said slowly
"My name is Danielle Demster. I am Jaycee Hamilton Lawyer" she said
"And what does that mean to me? He asked. I haven't seen her in over fourteen years." he said
"Actually, she died in a car accident about two weeks ago." She said
Tony made a bit of a face. "That's horrible. But I still don't see how it has anything to do with me" he said. He was sorry, she was young, younger than him but he didn't see how the fact that they had been together so many years ago had any baring now. He wasn't the last one she was with. He could guarantee it.
"Well I have some news not sure how you are going to take it but I'm just going to be blunt about it." She said
"Well I am all for blunt go right ahead" he said by this time he had gotten the attention of the entire squad room. Gibbs, McGee and Ziva were all looking at him.
"She has a daughter who is fourteen and she claimed in her will that you are the biological father and she named you legal guardian" said Danielle
Tony just sat there his jaw dropped, no women in the world had ever made him speechless expect his mother, and that didn't count.
"I'm sorry, but I think I heard you wrong, can you please repeat that" he said there was no way? He heard her wrong, right?
"You have gotten legal guardianship of Jaycee Hamilton's daughter. She is fourteen and apparently biological yours" she said she gave him a minute to grasp the news. "However, if you don't want her, I am sure other arrangements can be made" she said
"No" said Tony. "Well. I really need some time to think about this. Maybe I should meet her first before I make any decisions and seeing as she doesn't know me I think it would be the best idea" he said
"Yes. When I told her she made a point of saying that she didn't know you at all. If you would like to you can come to Arizona to meet her." Said Danielle she really didn't want to have to deal with this she wanted to get this over and done with and no one was making that easy.
'Yes. I do, when?" he asked he couldn't believe it. He had a daughter? It couldn't be true, could it?
"When can you make it here?" she asked
"If I book a flight for tomorrow I could be there by tomorrow afternoon" he said as he opened up the internet browser and looked to book a flight.
"Sure. It will give me time to contract Kaylee, that's her name by the way. And let her know that you're coming" she said. "I'll give you my number when you get here contract me and I'll give you directions to my office and we can go from there" she added.
"Sounds good to me" he said "I'll see you tomorrow" he said before hanging up. He didn't look up at his team who he knew all had to be curious and he knew this meant he would need time off work a few days at least. He looked up at Gibbs before he looked down at his computer again he finished booking his flight before looking up at Gibbs again.
"Boss, I really need a few days off." He said his eyes clearly begging him to have the time off.
"I'm going to need a good reason DiNozzo" he said
He didn't want to just say it in front of everyone. Especially not Ziva, he had been with her for eight months and they had never really discussed children. How would she react? Would she leave him?
Gibbs could see his hesitation so he stood up and signalled for Tony to follow him. Tony got up and followed him. Gibbs led him to the elevator and once they were in he pulled the emergency switch.
"Ok Tony, why do you need the time off?" he asked him he could tell that there was something serious going on.
"I-I have a-a daug-daughter" he managed to get out
Gibbs was stunned well somewhat stunned Tony had been a bit of a player before he ended up with Ziva.
"I'm going to need a bit more Tony" he said
"I have a daughter. She lives in Arizona, her mother died, and I have been named her legal guardian. I have to go meet her" he said "It wouldn't be fair to her or me to just have her sent here." He added
"Tony. Its ok, you don't need to say anymore. You can have the time off. Take as much time as you need." He said "But I would suggest you tell Ziva" he added
Tony nodded. "I will." He said
"Tony. How old is she?" he asked
"Fourteen. I have a fourteen year old daughter and I didn't know until today" he said
Gibbs nodded "Tony. I am sure this will all work out." He said
"I really hope so" he said before he flipped the switch back and pushed the button for the squadroom
Right before they could get up there Gibbs turned to him. "Tell Ziva, than you can leave to go get ready to go" he said when they got up there Gibbs let Tony go first he really felt bad for the guy. To find this out all of a sudden could not be easy on anyone.
Tony walked over to Ziva clear worry in his eyes. "Ziva, I need to talk to you" he said
Ziva looked up at him and stood up following him to a quite area of the squadroom where they could talk.
"Tony. What is wrong?" she asked
"Ziva, I don't know how to tell you this but...I have a fourteen year old daughter that I didn't know about till today when her mother's Lawyer called me to tell me that my daughter's mother died and I have been named guardian of her." He said very bluntly.
Ziva was stunned. "Tony. What are you going to do?" she asked him
"I am going to Arizona, where she lives to meet her. Then I don't know" he said
Ziva nodded and smiled. "I think that is the right thing to do." She said
"So you're ok with this?" he asked
"Tony. If I said no I would be a horrible person. I love you, and this will not change that" she said
Tony gave her a hug. "Thank you Ziva" he said. "I am leaving tomorrow morning at 6:50am and I have some time off. Gibbs told me I could leave but I had to tell you first. Well he told me to tell you then I could leave but I had wanted to tell you anyways" he said
Ziva nodded. "So than get going" She said smiling at him. "But call me some time tomorrow let me know you got there" she added
He nodded. "I will." He looked around to make sure no one was there before he leaned forward and kissed her quickly.
She kissed him back before the two of them walked back to their desks. Tony went over to his and grabbed his stuff before turning to Gibbs. "I will be by Monday Gibbs" he said figuring that would give him five days.
Gibbs nodded and Tony left and went to the elevator. He drove to his place and packed up clothes for five days. He knew he would be back by then.
