May 1999
Tony and Kate have both finished their studies at the university and are both working now. Tony and Kate are NCIS agents and are working for Leroy Jethro Gibbs. They do not want the jobs to interfere with their private life. So they did not tell the team or the director that they are married. Kate and Tony both like the life they are living and they do not want to change it.
Kate has found out that she is six weeks pregnant. She does not know how to tell Tony because she knows that they would have to make their relationship public. She does not know what to do. For the moment she decides to not tell Tony yet. She wants to wait and wants to see how long she will be able to carry it alone.
When Tony come home from work a little later he finds her sitting on the couch. He can see that she is hiding something from him. "Honey are you alright?" "Yeah. I am fine." "you are hiding something from me aren´t you?" "Tony there is something that you should know. I am just not ready to talk about it yet. I need time." "Kate?" "What?" "I love you. What is the matter?" "I know that you love me and I love you too. I need time Tony please."
After a few minutes of quietness Tony tried to talk to her again. "Kate please talk to me." He could see the struggle in her eyes. "Tony." "Yes?" "I need you to promise me that you will not overreact." "I promise." "Promise me that you will not tell Gibbs that we are married." "I will not promise." "Tony I found out that I am six weeks pregnant." "Really?" "Yes." "I am so happy Kate. I love you." I love you too."
"I want you to stay on desk duty until the baby is there." "Tony we cannot tell Gibbs and the team that we are married. We need to keep our personal life seperated from our professional life." "Kate you are pregnant. We need to tell them." "No Tony! We do not. I will tell Gibbs that I am pregnant. That is it." "Kate I have to tell Gibbs." "Tony! I think we should only tell Gibbs." "OK."
The next morning Tony and Kate are the first ones in the office and they walk into the directors office." "Morning Cynthia is the director there?" "Gibbs is with her." "We need to talk to both. Do not notify them." They walk into director Sheppard´s office. "Morning!" "DiNozzo and Todd what are you doing here?" "We need to talk to both of you." "Have a seat." Tony and kate sat down at the conference table. So did Gibbs and Jenny. "Director! Gibbs! We have known each other since School I was in the same class as Kate´s brother Simon. We have been dateing for 5 years and have been married for almost two years. And that is not all." "I am six weeks pregnant. I only use Toss at work. In private I am Mrs. DiNozzo."
Gibbs and Jenny look at each other and are more then surprised. "Why did we not know about that?" "We wanted to keep the two parts of our lives seperated. We would also aprreciate if no one else from the team except you and Gibbs knew about us." "They have to know." Kate looked at Tony shocked and afraid. He knew that he had to make sure that no one elso finds out. "Gibbs please. You cannot do this to Kate?" "Why?" "When I was in High School there was someone who had a crush on me. He herassed me and thought we were together. But I was with Tony. He stalked us. Once he shot at us. Gibbs please." Jenny looks at him and says. "Fine we will keep it between us. No one will know unless you tell them." "Thank you."
After work Tony and kate go home and enjoy their time together. Knowing that they are going to have a little baby in January.
