An hour later; Elisabeth awoke from her slumber in the lap of the pregnant red-head and buried into her making Jen giggle. Elisa smiled happily and sat up hugging Jen, and looking at her mother, "Aunty Jen? When will Mommy wake up?" she asked cutely
Jen smiled, running her hand through the girls dark curls, "Soon sweetie" she said softly to her as the team watched on.
Elisa smiled and climbed out of the woman's lap and onto the bed that contained her mother's sleeping form. She curled up to her mother's side and wrapped her arms around the older woman's waist, kissing her cheek, "Wake up soon Mommy, I love you" she whispered
Kate smiled in her sleep unconsciously making her daughter grin happily, "Mommy smiled at me" the girl said excitedly, pleased to have such a reaction from her sleeping mother
Tony smiled, "That's because you make your Mommy very happy Lis" he said with a smile. The team watched on with smiles, they only saw this side of their co-worker when around the little girl, and they all thought it was rather sweet. He was very father-like towards the young girl, which suited everyone very well, because nobody knew who the father was…. Apart from Kate Todd.
Elisabeth smiled, "Mommy looks like sleeping beauty" she said with a grin, her mother had read the story to her the night before and she loved it. She even had a sleeping beauty doll.
Anthony DiNozzo nodded, "She sure does Lis" he said with a soft and kind smile
Lis smiled, "You should kiss her" she said suddenly
Tony choked on air, going bright red in the face, "I'm sorry, I should… what?"
Elisabeth smiled, "You should kiss her, like in the story" she said with an air of assertiveness about her words, she truly believed them to be utter truth, "The Prince kissed the Princess to wake her up"
Tony nodded, "Ah but I am not a Prince" he said with a smile
Elisabeth nodded, "Mommy says you are" she said with a smile snuggled into her mother's side
Anthony DiNozzo nodded, "Oh really"
The young girl nodded, "Well how about everyone kiss Mommy and we see who is her Prince"
Agent DiNozzo nodded, "Sounds like a plan kiddo" he said laughing, "Who first?"
Elisabeth thought for a moment, "Aunt Jenny"
Jenny laughed, "But I'm a girl and girl's can only be Princesses"
Elisabeth shrugged, "Mommy says you can be whatever you want"
Jen nodded, and got up kissing Kate's cheek
She didn't wake.
Elisabeth sighed, "Uncle Jethro next" she said with a smile
Leroy got up and kissed the top of her head in a rather fatherly manner.
She failed to wake.
Elisabeth looked around, "Aunty Abby next"
Abigail Scuito got up and kissed Katie's cheek.
That failed to work on the sleeping beauty.
Elisabeth smiled, "Uncle McGee it is your turn now" she said with a smile
McGee blushed and kissed Kate's head
That did not work at all.
The young girl turned to Ducky, "Your turn Ducky" she said with a smile
Ducky pressed a gentle kiss to the young woman's head
This did not wake her at all
Elisabeth smiled, "Uncle Tony it's your turn now" she said grinning
Tony nodded, and kissed Kate's head
This didn't work either
Elisabeth frowned, "Try her lips, The Prince had to kiss the Princess on the lips" she said
Tony blushed, "You didn't make Aunt Jenny kiss her on the lips"
This made everyone laugh, that was except for little Miss Elisabeth Rose Todd, who had her arms crossed in a rather annoyed manner.
"That is because Mommy isn't in love with Aunty Jen.. and Aunty Jen is married.. Mommy says its not right for a married woman to kiss someone else like that" the little girl said rather intelligently
Tony smiled, "Aren't you a clever girl" he said and bent down
Gradually his lips neared the woman of his dreams
As his lips connected, her eyes fluttered open
Her lips moved beneath his and she tugged him closer, deepening the kiss
Until Gibbs cleared his throat, making both of the participants in the kiss blush heavily and Kate's daughter laugh
