Tony and Leah were getting excited for their baby. Tony knew that Gibbs was aware of the fact he had gotten his daughter pregnant.
It was currently 4:40am. Gibbs walked into the bullpen to see Leah asleep at her desk. Tony came back in. "DiNozzo, why is she here and not in bed?" He asked.
Tony sighed. "She said she wanted to be here. She doesn't feel safe in her own place," he explained to his boss.
Gibbs looked at his daughter. He knew she was more at risk for being hurt while pregnant and he didn't want that. He wanted to keep his daughter safe.

Leah groaned. A hot chocolate was placed in front of her. She looked up into the eyes of Gibbs. Leah sighed. "I've been thinking, maybe I should leave NCIS. It's against protocol that I'm working here. Especially as you're my father," she said.
Gibbs shook his head. "No. You're staying here when the team and I can keep an eye on you, Leah."
Leah sighed and stood up. "This is against the rules. A father and daughter aren't supposed to be on the same team."
Gibbs kissed Leah's head. "You're going nowhere."

The team had been called out to the murder of a petty officer. It bought back memories of Leah's adoptive father Mark and how they still hadn't caught his killer.
Tony looked at Leah. "Be careful. Don't overwork yourself," he said.
Leah smiled. "I'm not going to. Trust me, I've already had Gibbs saying I need to take it easy," she told her boyfriend.
"Good. We both care."

McGee and Ziva stood watching Leah and Tony. Ziva smirked. "I do believe that there is something going on with Tony and Leah," she said.
McGee agreed. He too had seen how close his two partners had become. He needed to see what Abby thought.

Four Weeks Later
Leah had decided to tell people she was pregnant on the team. She knew Gibbs had told Jenny about the baby and that Tony was the father.
Leah stood in her living room. She had developed a baby bump. She rubbed her stomach and smiled. "Hi baby."
Tony walked in. He had been staying over at Leah's apartment and sometimes, she stayed over at his. Tony smiled. "Kicking?"
Leah shook her head. "No. It's just odd knowing there's someone inside of me. A human being," she said.
Tony laughed. "You sure you want to tell people? It's a huge deal."
"I want to. Besides, it's getting harder to hide the bump. You're not embarrassed are you, Tony?"
"Course not. You know how people gossip," Tony said.

Tony and Leah arrived at work. Abby, Ducky, Jimmy, Ziva and McGee were all there. Tony looked at them. He had a grin.
McGee looked at him. "What's got you smiling?"
Leah smiled and looked at them. She knew Abby knew about her being pregnant. She looked at Tony who nodded. "Tony and I are expecting a baby."
McGee and Ziva were shocked. They knew Tony was going to become a father but not that Leah was the mom.
McGee walked over and smiled. "Well congratulations. You'll make amazing parents," he said.
"Thanks Timmy."

Leah was going back to NCIS after she went to interview someone about a murder that had happened. She was feeling unwell but didn't want to bother anyone. She knew she needed to eat more.
As soon as she went back to NCIS, she went to the vending machine. She bought some chips and chocolate.
Tony saw her and smiled. "Cravings?" He asked as he kissed her cheek.
Leah shook her head. "No. Just hungry. Baby's after a lot of food," she said.
Tony smiled and kissed her lips gently. He placed a hand on her bump. "We need to thinks of names for the baby."
Leah grinned. "Well I want to honour Kate so Gracie-Kate for a girl or Kaiden for a boy?" She asked.
"Perfect."
X-X-X
Gibbs went to see Jenny. She sat at the desk. "Any news on Leah and the baby?" She asked.
"They've chosen names for the baby. Gracie-Kate for a girl and Kaiden for a boy," Gibbs told her.
Jenny nodded. "So why hasn't she come to me? I am her mother and I can give her advice."
Gibbs glared. "You also gave her away without a second thought! Maybe she won't because she wants you to go to her and I don't blame her, Jen. She wants answers. I can't give them to her. It's you who can," he told her.

Leah went back home and sighed. Tony had gone to get some takeout for dinner. Leah sat on the couch. She had been having twinges all day but didn't want to distract the team from the case.
Leah knew she had another three and a half months to go. She was glad she had been able to hide it for six months from the team with baggy shirts and leggings.
Tony walked in and smiled. "I got food."
"T-Tony, I think I'm in labour…"
