Ziva looked at Tony "that is what women in your country do? Name their son after their father...yes? I think it is a silly custom but..." Ziva prattled on.

That's why you left. Because you were pregnant" questioned Tony.

"Yes" replied Ziva.

Tony's head was spinning Ziva left because she was pregnant...with his son! Tony wanted to run. Four years ago he would have but alot had changed. He sat and Ziva looked at him shocked.

"Ha Tony! Your meant to leave now"

"No Ziva" replied Tony. "Four years ago yes, but not now. Alot has changed"

"Tony I think you should go"

Tony did as he was asked. He left but he didn't go back to NICS. He drove around for awhile thinking. Before he knew it, it was midnight and he and ended p and Gibbs house. He got out of his car and made his way inside. It was dark when he entered, very unlike Gibbs not to have a light on or either him or Jenny not to be awake. Still Tony made his way to the basement; he reached the top of the stairs, tripping he missed the first two stairs.

Jenny stirred in her sleep "Jethro wake up"

"What"

"I heard a noise"

"Probably just one of the kids" he told her unfazed by the apparent noise.

"No it wasn't, it came from the basement"

McGee who was sleeping on the couch at his apartment, so Ziva and Anthony could have his bedroom was lying awake. He looked over to his bedroom door and found the light still on. He hoped up, walked over to the door and knocked he entered to find Anthony asleep and Ziva looking at a photo album. He sat on the bed and looked at the photos Ziva was looking at. A photo of Ziva and Tony at Gibbs and Jenny's wedding and another of the pair at a staff Christmas Party where Ziva was sitting on Tony's lap looking into each other's eyes. Tony with a grin.

"If it makes you feel any better, there has only been one other woman in the four years since you've been gone" McGee told her.

"No Tim. It does not"

Jethro Gibbs turned the light on to the basement. He saw Tony standing with a bottle of bourbon in one hand and a hand tool in the other looking at the boat. "Touch my boat and you won't have a job Monday morning" Gibbs warned him.

"Oh hey Boss...you know I'm a father? Me! Anthony DiNozzo"

Gibbs was now by his side "Yeah I know, what surprises me the most DiNozzo is the fact there aren't more little DiNozzo's out there" Gibbs said as he took both bottle and hand tool off Tony.

Tony snorted "Hey I was drinking that!"

"Yeah, you don't need it"

"What do I do Boss" asked Tony now leaning up against the boat.

"Talk to her" Gibbs responded honestly "but I'd do it after I've slept.

Gibbs made sure Tony left the basement. He wasn't sure how much alcohol Tony had consumed so Gibbs left him stay in the spare room. Gibbs fell back into bed.

"Who was it" asked Jenny.

"DiNozzo" replied Gibbs as he snuggled up to her.

"So you were right...one of the kids" she said as she smirked.

"Funny Jen" came the reply.
