Two Fathers versus one son Part 7

A/N: Thank you for your reviews. I'm happy that not all of you got disappointed of the truth.

Gibbs had a feeling if it really turned out that Mr. DiNozzo told the truth, which it really sounded that he did, that he would lose Tony as a son and sadly very soon. And how could he interfere between a father and son's reunion? Tony wouldn't need him anymore, since it now looked like Tony had a loving and caring biological father.

oOo

Tony and his father were in a tight hug for a long time and they were both crying. They cried out of joy for being reunited and sadness for being separated and for all the hurt they'd suffered for so many years.

Tony suddenly panicked and got away from the hug. Mr. DiNozzo noticed the panicked look on his son's face. "What's wrong son?"

"W-what a-about my u-uncle? Where is he? I-I don't want him to take you a-away from me again. What if he k-kills you t-this time. I-I c-can't stand to lose you again."

Mr. DiNozzo gently grabbed Tony's face. "He's never going to hurt you ever again son. I'll make sure of that. He's in custody. The FBI has him and he'll be in jail for the rest of his life."

"R-really?"

"Yes. That's why the FBI agents are here. To vouch that I'm telling the truth if you didn't believe me. They can confirm that they got my brother in custody."

"I want to see him. I want to see with my own eyes that we're finally safe from him. It's not that I don't believe you I do, but I can't rest before I see it for myself."

"I understand son. I'll ask the agents if it's okay. Maybe that will help us get a closure so that we can move on. And be a family again. We have a lot of catching up to do. I promise you won't need anything, you'll get all the love and care that I have. Why don't you take a bath to freshen up a bit? I'll arrange for some new cloths for you in the meantime. When you're finished we can go see my brother and then get back for dinner. Or we could eat out in a fancy restaurant. What about it?"

"A bath sounds good. I'd rather eat here." Tony looked at Gibbs to get the okay from him. Gibbs nodded. "It has to be healthy though. I promised da… Gibbs that I will at weeknights. So only pizza and other unhealthy food at weekends."

Mr. DiNozzo looked questionably at Gibbs. "He's been very sick some months ago. He still got scares from it. He needs to take good care of himself so not to get a relapse."

Mr. DiNozzo looked worried at his son. "What was wrong with you? Are you really okay now? I'll get the best of specialist to make sure you're really okay." Mr. DiNozzo was about to get to the phone to get one of his staff to find the best Doctor in the States.

"I'm fine sir. Don't worry. I don't need any specialist."

Mr. DiNozzo cringed at the word sir. "Please don't call me sir. I'm your father not your employer. I would love if you called me dad or pop as you did when you were a boy."

"But you hate that I call you dad or pop. You showed me the hard way when I was eight… oh… sorry. I forgot it was your brother. I'm sorry."

"No apology needed. I understand your confusion. You thought it was me for all those years. I promise I'm going prove to you that I'm not like my brother at all. You didn't tell me what was wrong with you."

"I don't want to talk about it s… Pop. I was very sick, but luckily not anymore."

"Is that why you lived with your boss for a while? I was informed that you've been sick. But I didn't know that it had been that serious. I tried to find out what was wrong with you. But your medical file was closed. Come on son please tell me. I want to know, so that I know what I should look out for if you get a relapse."

"Yes, he took great care of me. Sorry pop. I promise I won't get a relapse. Please leave it be. I want to look forward."

"Okay, son," Mr. DiNozzo said but he made a promise to himself that he would find out one way or the other. He'd be damned if an ugly sickness would destroy his chance of happiness with his son. He'd make sure that his son would get the best doctors. To exam him regularly to make sure that he stays healthy, whatever it costs. His son was worth every penny.

"Why don't you go get a bath now? And healthy food it is."

Tony nodded. "Where is the bathroom?"

"Come I'll show you."

"Boss, are you staying? I want you to be there when I meet my uncle please."

Gibbs smiled. "Sure s… Tony. I'll stay and go with you."

Tony smiled brightly. "Thanks, d… Boss."

Mr. DiNozzo looked a little disappointed at them. He noticed the connection and bond between them even though they tried to hide it and was jealous about it. He had a feeling that there was more going on between those two than they let on.

"Come on son."

Tony and his father left for the bathroom.

oOo

When Mr. DiNozzo went back to the study he went to Gibbs. "Thank you agent Gibbs for taking good care of my son and for all the things you've done for him. I'll take over from here. Sorry if I sound too harsh, but I've been separated for so long from my son and against my will. I want to have a chance to reconnect with him again and I want to be alone with him. So please don't take it the wrong way, but I would prefer that you go home as soon as we've visit my brother at jail. And please don't mention to my son that I asked you to leave."

Gibbs sadly nodded. He had a feeling if it was the other way around, he maybe would have reacted the same way. If it turned out that his daughter Kelly would be alive for all those years and have gotten a father/ daughter bonding with a stranger, he'd be jealous too and would be selfish enough wanting to be alone with his daughter.

"Good. Thank you, Agent Gibbs."

A/N: Yeah I know it's strange that Tony agreed to take a bath. Please don't shoot me because of it; I still need to be alive to finish the story. And I'm not going to change it. I've already posted this part and a few more chapters a few days ago on my group.
