Tony was laying peacefully on Kate's couch wearing a pair of plaid flannel pj bottoms that Kate had bought him while Kate lay asleep on his bare chest. He was slowly running his fingers through her soft hair as the other hand rubbed her stomach. Kate was now seven months pregnant and Tony couldn't stop himself from caressing her tummy every opportunity he got. They had spent the last seven months getting ready for the birth of their baby girl. Tony had eagerly gone with Kate to every one of her doctor's appointments, baby shopping, and he paid for her to take a yoga class specifically for pregnant women which made Kate very happy. When she was cleaning up Tony's living room one afternoon, she came across several books. She smiled and felt her heart burst with happiness as she read the titles: How To Make A Pregnant Woman Happy; Breathe! A Guy's Guide to Pregnancy; and The Expectant Father – Facts, Tips, and Advice For Dads-To-Be. She was incredibly happy with her new life with Tony. He loved her with everything he had and always lavished her with love and attention. Even when Kate was hormonal and cranky, Tony always knew exactly what to do and what she needed. When they went to the doctor's appointments Kate would laugh because he was always so excited to watched their baby on the ultrasound. Tony was in complete awe as they watched their unborn baby move inside Kate's stomach. He had never in his whole life experienced anything quite like it. And the look on Kate's face took his breath away. She was so happy and excited to welcome their baby girl into this world. Kate spent endless hours talking to her telling her all about the people who were eager to meet her. She told her all about Auntie Abby, Uncle McGee, Uncle Palmer, Grandma Jenny, Grandpa Gibbs, and Grandpa Ducky. Kate and Tony decided to move in together before the baby was born so that their complete focus could be on their daughter after she was born. Tony had sold his apartment and had moved a lot of his stuff into storage and the important things into Kate's apartment. They were waiting for Kate's lease to be up and in the meantime they were looking into renting a town home in Alexandria. But until they could move in, Tony and Kate lived happily together in Kate's apartment. They were madly in love and everyone around them could see it.

Tony shifted slightly on the couch and Kate stirred and slowly lifter her head. He kissed her sweetly and Kate moaned in his mouth. "Hey honey." he said as he caressed her back. Kate smiled and lay back in his arms with her head on his chest. She could hear his strong heartbeat as he moved his arm around to entwine his fingers with hers. They laid their hands on Kate's stomach protectively. All of a sudden they felt a tiny bump from her tummy. Tony jumped slightly and Kate's eye's lit up. "She moved..." Tony said in awe. Kate kissed him and brought his hand back to her tummy. They waited patiently for another bump which came. Tony's heart burst with happiness as they felt their baby girl moving around in Kate's tummy. Kate looked up at Tony and kissed him sweetly. Tony wrapped Kate up in his arms even tighter and cuddled her tiny body into his. "I'm so excited for the baby." she whispered. "Have you thought of any names?" she asked. "Mmmm... I've thought of a few. I like the name Autumn." Tony responded. "And she'll be born in the fall." Kate smiled and said gently, "I kinda like the name Sophie." Tony thought for a moment and said softly, "Sophie Autumn Todd... I like it!" Kate sat up and looked at him and placed a hand on his heart. "No, Tony. Sophie Autumn Dinozzo. I want our baby to have her daddy's last name." Tony looked into Kate's big hazel eyes and melted. He ever so gently took her face in his hands kissed her sweet lips. Kate closed her eyes and the two of them melted together as passion and desire overtook them. Tony didn't think it was possible to be this in love with someone. He slid her shirt off and pulled her body against his just to feel her soft skin against his. He looked deep into her eyes and whispered, "Then I want the mother of our baby to have my last name too." Kate stared at him, her heart beating wildly, not sure if she heard him right. He reached over to the drawer in the coffee table and pulled out a velvet black box. "I originally had a whole romantic way planned to ask you, but one thing I've learned about love is not everything happens like it's planned. Kate, you are everything to me. I love you so much and I don't even want to consider my life without you. You are my life, my whole world. You're the only woman I want to spend everyday of the rest of my life with. My sweet Caitlin, will you marry me? Will you be my wife?" he breathed hoping to God that she loved him enough to say yes. Kate had silent but happy tears running down her face. She was speechless as Tony held her hands in his and proposed to her. He leaned over and softly kissed her tears away. Kate flung her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. "Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Oh, Tony... yes, I will be your wife." she laughed as Tony pulled her into his lap and kissed her hard. Together the two of them clung to each other feeling their hearts beat in between their bodies. Kate stared in awe as Tony took her hand in his and put a diamond ring on her finger. She couldn't believe this was actually happening. She was engaged! She was getting married to Anthony Dinozzo and they were going to have a baby soon and they were going to rent a townhouse together in Alexandria. It was perfect. Tony nuzzled her neck and said, "I love you." Kate looked up at him and said, "I love you too, Tony." She got a mischievous glint in her eyes and Tony nipped her lower lip. "Uh oh... what are you planning...?" Kate jumped up and pulled Tony up with her. "Let's get married now." Tony was confused. "Now? Like right this very moment? It's 11:30 at night." "Yes, I know! But I don't want to wait." Tony laughed and gathered her in his arms and carried her upstairs. "Come on, we have to put some normal clothes on if we're gonna get married." Kate and Tony hurried to get dressed. "Do we want to call anyone? Is anyone gonna be at our wedding?" Tony asked. Kate tossed him his phone and said, "Oh yeah! Call Gibbs, Jenny and Ducky. I'll call Abby, McGee, and Palmer." Tony cringed at the thought of calling Gibbs and waking him up. "Umm... honey, maybe you should call Gibbs. He won't smack you for waking him up..." Tony said as he instinctively rubbed the back of his head thinking about Gibbs head-slapping him. Kate laughed. "Good point, I'll call Gibbs, Jenny and, and Ducky. You call McGee, Abby, and Palmer. Oh and tell them to meet us at the courthouse by the Navy Yard." Kate called Ducky and Jenny. Neither were asleep and excitedly promised to make it to the courthouse in 20 minutes. When she called Gibbs, she had a special favor to ask him. After waking him up and teasing him because she could tell he fell asleep with his boat again, she delivered the news. Gibbs began changing his clothes into something nicer to wear to the wedding before their conversation had even ended. "Also, Gibbs I wanted to ask you for a favor...?" she asked hesitantly. "Of course, what's up?" "Well, I was wondering, if you'd walk me down the courthouse aisle...? You're more of a father to me than my dad ever was and I really want you to be the one to give me away." Tears gathered in Gibbs' eyes and he brushed them away impatiently as he said, "Of course. I'd be honored, Kate." Kate smiled and thanked him. When she had hung up, she turned to hear Tony talking to McGee. "So, Probie, I was kinda wondering if you'd be my best man...? We're gonna get married at the courthouse by the Navy Yard and I'd really like for you to stand up there with me...? Really? Ok great! Thanks McGee. Yup... see ya in like 20 minutes." Tony turned to see Kate grinning at him "Awww... that's so sweet. He really does look up to you, you know? You're like a big brother to him." Tony smiled and said, "Well, I think I just made my 'little brother' wet himself with excitement." Kate burst out laughing and hugged Tony. "Did you call Abby?" she asked with a sneaky smile playing on her sweet lips. Tony caught her smirk and playfully pinched her hip. "Yes, I did and she all but broke my ear drum with her very high pitched squeal." Kate laughed and winked at him. He had changed in to a pair of nice jeans and a black button down shirt. He had also splashed on some cologne and Kate thought he never looked or smelled so edible. She had changed into a soft pink sundress with white polka-dots. Tony watched as she rummaged in her drawer til she found what she was looking for. A satin pink ribbon which she tied as a head band. Tony had never seen anyone look so sweet and innocent and beautiful all at the same time. After dabbing some perfume and grabbing her purse, she turned to Tony who took her hand and led his beautiful wife-to-be out to the car to get married.
