Gibbs's New Girl

By Rena Mason

Chapter 4

For the next several days Allison and Tony spent most of their time either on the jet stream that Director Vance secured for them or sitting in a small back room of a foreign embassy with Tony watching Allison pouring over several stacks of documents.

Forever by her side was a large canvas bag, always zipped shut and within easy reach. This forbidden bag was of course intriguing to Tony and he tried several times to look inside but was always stopped by Allison.

It wasn't until early into the third day and the eighth embassy that Allison left the bag unattended and Tony saw his chance. Allison had go with an embassy aide to try and find a document she asked about.

As soon as she left the room Tony pounced, unzipping the bag and pouring the contents on an empty table. Out came several adult sized diapers and more adult protective undergarments. A travel sized container of baby wipes. Three or four bottles of water. Several different individual packages of drink mixes. Three baby bottles, and a clear carrying case holding two pacifiers.

He took out his phone and snapped several pictures before quickly stuffing all the items back into the bag, zipping in shut and then putting it back under Allison's chair. A few minutes later Allison reappeared and Tony tried to look casual but Allison could tell that something was up.

For the rest of the trip Tony made snide remarks under his breath saying "Baby Ali", "Does baby want a bottle" or "Does Ali need a diaper change?"

Allison tried her to keep her temper, doing her best to ignore him until finally she'd had enough and spouted off as they were leaving their last embassy.

"DiNozzo, unless you want to find out why exactly I am left alone at work I would shut your mouth and not say another word until we get back to Washington." yelled Allison just as they were to getting into the government car that was to take them back to the jet stream. As she climbed into the car she called "Driver, the airport please" slamming the door, leaving Tony standing on the curb.

"Allison!" yelled DiNozzo as he watched the car pull away.

When DiNozzo finally arrived at the airport, the flight attendant all but pushed him into the plane and slammed the door shut banging on it to signal the pilot they were ready for takeoff. As he made his way to the back of the plane he spotted Allison sleep on one of the back benches with pink blanket covering her and a pacifier in her mouth.

After the little stunt Allison pulled Tony couldn't resist snapping a picture of her sleeping and sending it to McGee. With that done Tony settled down to think of ways he and McGee could torment Allison.

They reached Washington in the wee hours of the fourth day and Allison went straight from the airport to NCIS to pick up her car and then headed home without saying a word to anyone. Tony entered NCIS only to quickly leave a message for Gibbs that they were back in Washington then headed home to take a shower and get some sleep.

-NCIS-

When Allison didn't report in to NCIS the next day Tony took full advantage of her absences and e-mail McGee the pictures he had taken of Allison with various silly baby captions. DiNozzo and McGee silently snickered about the pictures for the next few days finally causing getting a reaction from Ziva.

"Why don't you two just grow up! " Yelled Ziva

"With those two it's asking a lot Ziva." said Gibbs as he entered the bullpen "Grow up about what DiNozzo?"

"Nothing boss," answered Tony quickly as he closed out the pictures he had been looking at and got back to work.

"Has anyone heard anything from Allison since she got back?"

"Probably taking her morning nap about now" whispered DiNozzo which caused Tim to snicker loudly.

"What was that DiNozzo?" asked Gibbs as he looked up from the papers he was reading.

"Nothing boss," answered DiNozzo quickly

Just then the phone rang and Gibbs answered it on the first ring

"Gibbs "after a few minutes he spoke again "Alright, see you in a few" then hung up the phone. "Allison's on her way in, she's finished her verification "said Gibbs as he stood up and headed towards Director Vance's office. "Let me know when she arrives" called Gibbs as he made his way upstairs.

"Will do boss, "called out Tony then added under his breath "As soon as the little one arrives "which caused Tim to snicker again and Ziva to drop her head into her hands and sigh.

Ten minutes later Allison entered NCIS to find everyone but Gibbs in the bullpen

"Where's Gibbs?" asked Allison as she tossed a small device at Tony.

"What's this?" answered Tony as he caught the device and looked at it suspiciously.

"It's called a flash drive DiNozzo, do you know where to stick it or would you like me to show you?" answered Allison with a strange smile on her face.

"Not if it's been anywhere near that baby mouth of yours Allison" said DiNozzo quietly but loud enough for her to hear.

The look Allison gave Tony caused him to quickly duck his head and insert the flash drive into his computer. Unfortunately the last thing Tony had been looking at were the pictures that he had taken of Allison so they appeared on the plasma screen.

"Awwwwww, your soooo cute, Allison!" exclaimed Abby as she walked into the bullpen.

Allison quickly turned and advanced on his desk with a look of fury that had him quickly trying to hide behind his computer.

"How dare you! What happened on that trip and what is in my personal bag in confidential. You had no right, to get into my belongs without my permission!" screamed Allison.

"Now Ali, calm down" started DiNozzo but stopped when she leaned in further across his desk.

"Don't you ever! Call me that again Anthony DiNozzo. And for your information I am calm, if I weren't you wouldn't be standing"

"If that is calm then I'd hate to see you upset" whispered DiNozzo and looked up just in time to see Allison's fist connect with his nose, sending him falling back in his chair and it tipping over dumping him on the floor.

Allison looked into the shocked faces of Gibbs's team then hurriedly pushed past them before the tears started to fall. At the top of the catwalk Gibbs's had come out just in time to hear the raised voices of his team members and then see Ali deck DiNozzo. Whatever happened Tony had gotten Allison very upset and he had to admit that she had a really good right hook.

He saw her heading towards the elevators so he hurried down the stairs and called as he passed the bullpen.

"DiNozzo, get Ducky to check you out and I'll deal with you later" then ran to catch the elevator doors as they begin to close.

"Yes boss" answered DiNozzo in a muffled voice holding his hand over his nose.

When Allison saw the hand stop the elevator doors from closing she knew her escape had been cut off, she took a step back and resigned herself to her fate as Leroy Jethro Gibbs stepped into the elevator. He let the doors close then just a few seconds after the elevator started to move he hit the emergency stop lever and the elevator came to a halt.

"Care to explain what just happened Allison?" asked Gibbs as he turned to face her.

"I just hit Agent DiNozzo" answered Allison quietly ducking her head.

"Care to tell me why?" asked Gibbs as he reached over and put his hand under her chin raising her head. Even in the dim light of the elevator he could see the tears beginning to form in her eyes.

"He's been teasing and calling me names ever since we went on the trip to the embassies. Now I discovered that he got into my bag and took pictures of my things, and even took a picture of me while I was asleep on the plane." said Allison tearfully then dissolved into tears as Gibbs pulled her into her arms.

"Damn!" exclaimed Gibbs as he stood there holding Ali while rubbing her back.

It was about five minutes later when Gibbs finally heard Ali's tears subsiding and pushed her back a little so he could see her face. Her eyes were red and her nose was running a little which Ali promptly wiped on the back of her hand bring a smile to Gibbs's face. At times like this she really was a little girl at heart.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that but I can't have my agents decking each other no matter how much he deserved it." said Gibbs with a chuckle in his voice.

"Yes sir" answered Ali softly.

"Now here's what we're going to do. I want you to go home and wait for me. Change into your "baby" mode if you wish. As soon as I've taken care of the situation here I will come over to spend the whole weekend working out what we need to do about your attitude." stated Gibbs, searching her face. It was go time, time to see if she would let him into that part of her life. Gibbs could see the conflict playing across her face but was relieved when she simple dropped her head and said softly.

"Yes sir"

"Don't worry Allison, we won't do anything you aren't comfortable with yet" answered Gibbs softly.

When Gibbs said this Allison visibly relaxed, and for the first time since he had entered the elevator she looked him in the eyes.

"Thank you, Daddy" whispered Allison.

With this simple statement Gibbs once again pulled her into his arms and reached over to flip the switch which would take the elevator to the garage. When the doors opened Gibbs removed his arm from around Allison's shoulders and gently pushed her towards her car giving her bottom a little swat.

"Now go, and I'll be there as soon as I can." reminded Gibbs as the doors closed.

Allison watched until the doors were closed the practically ran to her car and made record time getting home, changing then waiting for Gibbs on her couch.

Back in the bullpen Ducky was just finishing up taking care of Tony's nose when Gibbs reentered and pushed the young man once again in his seat.

"What the hell were you thinking, or let me rephrase that why the hell weren't you thinking when you gloated Allison into decking you." yelled Gibbs at Tony and then turned on his two other agents. "And you two, did you know about the teasing and pictures but didn't say or do anything? I'm disappointed in both of you"

With that said Gibbs made his way to his desk, pulled opened his draw, grabbing his gun and keys and slammed the door shut.

"I'm taking the weekend off to try and repair any damage you two might have caused. I'll contact you when I'm ready to deal with the two of you" with that said Gibbs holstered his gun and pushed past several very confused or sullen faces.

"Ducky, what did Gibbs mean when he said he was going to repair any damage?" asked Abby.

"You have to understand Abigail that Allison is a very private person when it come to what she does when she isn't working. She was forced to take over raising her younger siblings at a very young age, giving up any semblance of childhood. She has been in charge and responsible for one or more people for a very long time. Allison uses Adult Infantilism to go back to a time when she was taken care of and loved."

"Ohhhhhh, that's so sad" said Abby.

"Precisely my dear and with Anthony "outing her" so to speak, she is now afraid of what you will think of her and how you will treat her."

"Tony!" cried Abby and went over, punching him in the arm.

"Owwww, Abby" cried Tony as he rubbed his arm while still trying to hold the towel to his nose.

"You need to apologize to Ali Tony, you to Timmy. You should have known better, you know how much teasing care hurt."

"I think the best thing to do right now is to let Gibbs have this weekend with Allison and when he feels she's ready ask meet with her and apologize."

"Sounds like a good plan Ducky. I'll wait for Gibbs" said Tony with a little defeat in his voice.

" Now might I suggest that we all go home and try to enjoy our weekend." suggested Ducky as he took Abby's arm and lead her out of the bullpen.

With a quiet reserve the rest of the team quickly gathered their personal items and left to try and await the inevitable call from Gibbs.
