Chapter Four.
A/N - Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed and favorited this. Means a lot to me.
Thank you to esquinzo for the idea for this chapter!
There's a slight time skip of three months.
I'll be starting the Tony/Leah romance in this chapter.
X-X-X
Leah had been trying to find out who her biological Father was. She couldn't stay with Caroline for much longer as it was driving her mad.
Leah had been doing desk work at NCIS as she had passed the tests that she needed to do. Law Enforcement was what she had studied in college. The young girl had grown close to Kate, Tony, McGee and Gibbs. The NCIS director had placed Leah onto Gibbs' team Major Crime Response Team.
That morning, Leah arrived early and saw Tony. "DiNozzo. You're early," Leah commented.
"I got a call from Gibbs. Wants us all here early," Tony told her. He smirked when he saw her attire. Skinny jeans, ballet flats and a vest top. "You're here early," Tony commented.
Leah smiled. "Things with my Mom are tense. She thinks I'm risking my life by being an NCIS agent," she mumbled. She hadn't told anything to do with her home life apart from the adoption fact.
X-X-X
As Leah was still a probationary agent, she didn't go to many crime scenes. Often, she stayed behind with Abby and Ducky. Once Kate, Gibbs, Tony and McGee had gone, Leah walked down to the lab. "Hey Abby."
"Haven't you gone to the crime scene?" Abby asked. She had grown close with the young agent.
Leah shook her head. "No, I thought I'd stay behind and catch up on some paperwork. Wanna make a good impression on the boss," she said.
"Gibbs adores you. He's overprotective of you," Abby said. She had a feeling that Gibbs wasn't the only one who adored Leah. She noticed how Tony got defensive when suspects commented on Leah's looks.
Leah just smiled. That's all she could do, smile. "Abs, can I show you something?" Leah asked.
Abby nodded and so Leah handed her the letter she received from Mark -
My dearest Leah,
If you're reading this letter then I'm no longer alive and I can no longer keep you safe. I love you so much Leah. You're my beautiful intelligent girl.
I can't keep this secret from you for too long. It's tearing me apart. Leah, you're adopted.
I know this must hurt you to read but its the truth. Your birth Mom came to Caroline and I begging us to take you. When I saw your face, I couldn't refuse. You're blonde hair made you seem so angelic. Your Mom was named Jennifer but all she said about your father was the initials of his name LJG.
This might not mean much now but know that I always loved you and I hope you'll continue to love me.
All my love
Mark

Abby looked at Leah. "You're adopted?" She asked.
Leah nodded. She tried to hide the tears that were threatning to spill. "I just... I don't know what to do anymore. I have no idea where to even begin looking for my real parents. Supposedly, they didn't want me or they did but they have over demanding jobs."
"LJG, I could try and help find this out. It could be a long shot," Abby said. She had a feeling she knew who Leah's biological father was.
Leah looked at Abby. "You'd want to help me? Why?"
Abby shrugged. "We're friends. Friends help friends."
X-X-X
The team returned to the Navy Yard to see that Leah wasn't sitting at her desk. "Where's newbie?" Tony asked. He was worrying when he saw that Leah wasn't there.
Kate smirked. "Missing her?" She asked. Kate had loved having another female on the team. She had someone to tease Tony with.
X-X-X
Abby had promised she would help Leah with the search for her Father. Leah walked back to the bullpen. She saw the team were back. "Where have you been newbie?" Tony asked.
Leah smiled. She was slowly but surely falling for Tony DiNozzo. "I was just with Abby. She's helping me find out my biological father's name. If I find that out then maybe I have a shot at finding him and my real Mom," she told them.
Kate smiled sympathetically at Leah. She felt bad for what the young agent was going through. "Abby will get results. She always does."
"Here's hoping."
X-X-X
Leah was getting her bag ready to go home. She had been planning on getting her own apartment as she felt she couldn't live with Caroline anymore. "So newbie. What are you doing tonight?" Tony asked.
Leah smiled at him. "I'm going home to catch up on missed sleep and hopefully Caroline isn't waiting to lecture me again," she said with a smile.
"Fancy grabbing some food? We could go to my place," Tony said. He was hoping Leah would agree. He liked her a lot."
"Sure. Beats sitting with a miserable adoptive mother."
X-X-X
Tony and Leah were eating pizza at his apartment. Leah had made herself comfortable. "Its sort of a turn on seeing a girl eat pizza and drink Orange Juice," Tony commented.
Leah laughed. "Its called exercise DiNozzo. Eat all I want and then work out," she said as she put a slice of pizza in her mouth. She smiled at Tony who drank some of his beer.
A Few Hours Later,
Leah and Tony were drinking together. Leah had moved onto drinking lemonade. She wasn't going to drink until she turned twenty in a few weeks. "Is Gibbs always protective over the females on his team?" Leah asked breaking the silence.
Tony nodded. "Yeah. Always has been," he told her. He was protective too but Leah meant something to him.
Leah looked at the clock and sighed. "I should go. Its getting late," she mumbled. She stood from the couch and got her shoes on. She looked at Tony who had stood up too.
"You don't want to leave though," Tony said. He closed the distance between them. He was going to kiss her. "Stay."
Leah looked at Tony and licked her lips. She wanted him to kiss her. "I shouldn't. Who knows what will happen."
Tony said nothing but he planted his lips onto hers in a passionate kiss. She kissed back. Tony moved them so they were back on the couch. The kiss was getting more and more heated.
Tony took Leah's top off. She grinned and kissed Tony. "Have you got any protection?" Leah asked. She was willing to have sex with Tony but only if they had a condom.
"Sure."
Tony took them to the bedroom and went into the nightstand. He took out a condom and got it on. He looked at Leah. "You want to?"
Leah nodded and kissed him. He kissed her passionately. Eventually, it led onto something more.
X-X-X
The next morning
Leah woke in bed next to Tony. She remembered how special he made her feel. She loved the way he pleasured her. No one had made her feel like he did. "Morning," Tony said.
"Morning. What time is it?" Leah asked as she stretched. She laid back down on the pillow.
"5am," Tony mumbled. He kissed Leah's lips and sighed. "Last night was amazing."
Leah nodded in agreement. She straddled Tony and grinned. "I should go and get changed. I don't think Gibbs will be too impressed if I turn up in yestersday's clothes."
They started kissing again but Leah pulled away. "I'll see you at work."
X-X-X
Leah arrived at NCIS and smiled when she saw Tony. "Morning Leah," Tony said. He winked discreetly at her.
"Morning DiNozzo."
Leah sat at her desk when Abby came running in. "Leah! We need to talk."
Leah followed Abby down to her lab. Abby closed the doors and turned to look at the young agent. "What's this about Abs?" Leah asked.
"I know who your father is," Abby said. She had to tell Leah right away.
"Who?"
Abby looked at her. She knew that Leah wouldn't take this so well. "It's Gibbs."
X-X-X
A/N - Well, Leah knows. How will she react?
Sorry the romance scene between Leah and Tony wasn't very good. I'm crap at writing them.
Tell me your thoughts on this chapter.
