AN: I really know nothing about abused children. Just what I have read in other fan fictions. So if I'm wrong about any of it. I apologize in advance.

Gibbs was surprised at her question. Most people wouldn't even think about placing a child or a teenager with a single guy and one who has such a dangerous job. But she is right; the perfect home for Jessica is with Tony.

"Do you think he will agree?" Christina asked.

"I don't know, I really don't. Tony has never seemed to be good with children. Jessica is the first teen we had dealt with that gets along with Tony best. You will just have to ask him."

"I think the reason Agent DiNozzo has such a problem dealing with kids is that he overcompensates for the way he was treated when he was their age. He doesn't have to try so hard with Jessica; he understands what she is feeling."

"Why don't we go and ask him? Are you really ready to sign custody to Tony? Don't ask him if you're not; I don't want to see him hurt." Gibbs warned.

"I hear your warning and I do appreciate it. Yes I am ready to do it; there is no other home for her. She doesn't trust people and yet she seems to trust Tony. Tony knows about not giving her orders that would endanger her life."

"I heard Tony say it and now you. What is that supposed to mean?" Gibbs asked confused by such a saying.

"Kids who have been abused follow orders blindly in fear of being hurt if they refused. Even if these orders involve; drugs, stealing, robbery or anything else you and I know is wrong. They may know it is wrong as well, but are easily taken advantage of and their fear is used against them. It could even be something as simple as doing something that could get them hurt or worse killed. When they weigh the 2 options they will choose the less of the 2 evils. In their mind, being hurt for refusing is a lot worse than anything they may or may not happen to them for going along with it." Christina explained.

Gibbs seemed to still try and process what she had said. He couldn't imagine trying to take advantage of someone who has been hurt that way, even though he knows that is true. It is just the way the world we seem to live in works.

"That is why Agent DiNozzo warned me about who I place Jessica with. He doesn't want to see something like that happen to her." Christina finished.

Gibbs nodded and led Christina out of the conference room and down to the gym.

In the bullpen Ziva and Tim were watching Tony in the gym with Jessica. They could hear everything that was being said. Tim watched as Tony showed Jessica the one-handed push-ups. He remembered the first time he saw Tony do them. It was during a training session after he first joined the team. He was amazed by it; Kate had thought that he was just showing off.

"The military academy, I started there when I was 12. You know when people comment on my handwriting, I so want to tell them, 'let's see how well you write when your wrist has been broken 6 times.' Of course I never do."

Tony voice came from the screen.

Tim and Ziva couldn't believe what they heard Tony admit to. His reason for the one-handed push-ups and his awful handwriting is due to his wrist being broken 6 times. Tim remembered the times that Sarah had broken her due to unfortunate accidents and bad timing. But none of them had been deliberate and no lasting repercussions other than some soreness in the weather change.

Ziva wonders what else Tony doesn't tell them. What other injuries he still spends his life trying to hide. She is no stranger to injuries, but the majority of hers had come from her Mossad training.

"5 times, the sixth time was really an accident. After 10 months and 4 surgeries, my wrist had finally healed. Less than 2 weeks later, I was doing push-ups and it took all about 5 seconds for my wrist to break for the 6th time. I had to have 2 more surgeries and was in a cast for another 4 more months. Some of the older kids in my barracks taught me the one-handed push-ups."

What do you think you 2 are doing? Turn it off." Gibbs growled. He had heard Tony's voice coming from the screen.

Ziva and Tim just gulped hard. They were busted spying on Tony. Tim quickly turned off the screen.

"We were just keeping an eye on Jessica while she is in the building." Ziva explained, but she knew how lame that explanation was.

"There is no need to keep an eye on her when she is with a fellow agent." Gibbs barked.

He knew that they meant well, but they were invading Tony's privacy. Tony was telling Jessica things he never would have told any of them. Even Gibbs felt guilty for making Tony always re-write his reports; he wouldn't have, if only he had known.

"You two will stay here and I will deal with you later." Gibbs growled as he left the bullpen and went down to gym.

Tony put his finger over his lips to signal Jessica that they needed to stop talking when he heard footsteps coming their way. He immediately stood up and helped Jessica to her feet when Gibbs and Christina entered the bullpen.

"Jessica, I have found a home for you." Christina announced.

Jessica nodded but said nothing.

"With Agent DiNozzo, you can actually go home with him tonight. That is if he is willing." Christina finished.

Jessica looked up to Tony hoping that he would agree.

Please, Please Review. They make me so happy to know if people like it. Also any ideas on how Gibbs should handle Tim and Ziva for invading Tony's privacy.

AN: I really did break my right clavicle bone 4 times and all were due to falling.
