Tony hugged Kelly and smiled as he tried out how it sounded, "Tony Gibbs, Anthony Michael Gibbs."
The next day was Shannon and Kelly spent the afternoon after school in Tony's room. They taught Tony how to play "Go Fish" and "Rummy". Gibbs took the day off work and spent the day filling out the novel of paperwork for Shannon and him to be Tony's foster parents.
Thankfully the process was greatly sped up by two important details Gibbs was a decorated marine and he and Shannon had recommendations to be foster parents from the local police and the FBI and NCIS. After a day spent in the Children of Family services office him and Shannon were granted temporary status as Tony DiNozzo's foster parents.
Gibbs met Shannon and Kelly at the hospital Gibbs came with a special gift for Tony.
When Tony saw Gibbs his face lit up like a Christmas tree. Gibbs handed Tony a bright red gift bag the tag on the bag said, "To Tony my favorite foster son." When Tony read the tag he looked up to Gibbs for confirmation and he was met with Gibbs smiling face shaking his head yes. Shannon and Kelly looked at the Tag and they engulfed Tony with a group hug.
Gibbs smiled at his new larger family. Shannon let Tony go and then went over to her husband and kissed him on the lips and whispered, "I am so proud of you." He bent down and kissed her on the fore head, "I know this is crazy hon but I have to tell you I am so excited. I don't know what it is about this kid but he felt like my son the moment I met him."
Shannon smiled at him, "You have been an amazing Daddy to a daughter you are going to be an awesome Daddy to a son too."
Gibbs wrapped his arm around Shannon and then told Tony to look what he brought him. Tony was enjoying the hugging so much he almost forgot to look in the bag. He gave Gibbs a huge smile and tore into the bag. Tony pulled out a bright red sweatshirt with the golden letters USMC on the front and Tony Gibbs written on the back.
Tony read the back of the shirt and tears came to his eyes he looked at Gibbs with a surprised face. Gibbs got concerned, "Oh Tony I am sorry was that the wrong thing to put on the shirt?"
Tony wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and he couldn't get any words out he just shook his head no. Once he gathered himself, "No Gibbs, I love it. It is just that.." Gibbs went to sit on the side of his bed and he gently rubbed his face with his thumb, "It is just what sweetie, you can tell me anything. I promise I won't be mad at you. No one is ever going to hurt you again especially Shannon or me."
Tony leaned into Gibbs hand and said, "It, it is just that n-no one ever w-wanted me b-before."
Gibbs pulled Tony into a gentle yet firm hug, "Well son all that has changed now because Shannon, Kelly and I all desperately want you." The two stayed in a hug for a few minutes then Gibbs gently placed a long and deliberate kiss on the top of Tony's head and said, "You hungry? Want a Pizza?"
Tony smiled and asked, "Can it be sausage and peppers?"
Shannon laughed and Gibbs giggled and said, "Sounds perfect." Tony asked what was so funny? Kelly said, "Sausage and Peppers is Daddy's favorite pizza but we never let him get it because mommy and I just like cheese. I guess now we will have to get a boy pizza and a girl pizza."
Tony was in the hospital for another week he was never left alone for long. If Shannon or Gibbs weren't at the hospital Grandpa Jackson or Grandma Sherry was with him. The whole family spent that week getting to know the newest member. In that week the home visit was done by child services and the finale approval for the Gibbs to be foster parents was granted just in time to bring their new son home to their home. The social worker promised to get the adoption papers started for them as soon as the waiting period was over.
The social worker was able to secure Tony's clothes and some of his toys from his home and Shannon and Kelly added some new toys from family and friends to make Tony's new room all his. Gibbs took care in hanging up several photos of the new family that was taken in the hospital of the new family.
Exactly one week after he was first brought to the hospital Gibbs, Shannon and Kelly picked Tony up from the hospital and brought him to his new home. Tony had to be carried into the Gibbs home. He was still weak and had to use a crutch to walk on flat ground. The doctors didn't want him to walk outside yet. Gibbs sat Tony gently on the couch and Kelly took her place next to him while Shannon and Gibbs brought the rest of Tony's things into the house. When they were done Gibbs came and sat next to his two babies. Once Gibbs settled Kelly excitedly asked her Daddy, "Daddy, Daddy can we bring Tony to his new room now?" Gibbs gave his daughter a smile and said, "Oh kay precious." He looked at Tony and asked, "Well sport you ready to go see your new room?"
Tony smiled and shook his head and held his arms up for Gibbs to be able to get a grip on him to pick him up. The three of them made there way up to the third door on the left and Tony smiled when he saw the sign on the door "Tony Gibbs Room"
Tony looked between the sign and Gibbs and smiled so big he thought his face was going to crack.
Kelly opened the door and Tony walked in on his crutch and took the time to examine every detail of his new room. Noticing the new toys and smiling at the cards attached to each one telling him who sent them. He then crawled up on his new bed and cradled the picture that was on the nightstand of his new family. Gibbs sat next to his new son and asked, "You okay son? Everything to your liking? We can change things if you want?"
Tony just smiled and said, "N-No G-Gibbs it is all just p-perfect thank you so m-much."
Gibbs smiled and said, "You are so very welcome I am so glad you are apart of our family now."
Tony thought for a moment, "G-Gibbs do you think Shannon would mind if I c-called y-you and S-Shannon Mom and D-D-Dad?" Gibbs smiled choking back a tear and said, "Nothing would make me happier but you don't have to do that until you are ready Shannon and Gibbs is fine for now."
Tony smiled, "My mean Mommy Died a long time ago and my Mean Daddy never wanted me. You and Nice Mommy always w-wanted m-me I-I L-Love you D-Daddy."
G-Gibbs picked up the small boy and hugged him and choked out, "I love you too son, I have from the moment I met you."
