Tony woke up first the next morning, feeling excited. Gibbs had promised him something more fun then the day before. What that could, he wasn't sure. As far as he was concerned nothing could be more fun then the day before.

Tony didn't give it much thought before he got out of his bed and jumped on the bed Gibbs was sleeping in.

"Gibbs, Gibbs, it's morning; wake up!" Tony was clearly excited.

Gibbs eyes popped open seconds later. As he took in Tony's excited face, a smile lit his own face. "Good morning kiddo; you excited?"

Tony laughed before his actions seemed to hit him. His eyes popped open and his face clearly showed his duress. "I'm sorry Gibbs. I didn't mean to wake you up."

"Hey, kiddo, it's fine," Gibbs interrupted. "I'm glad you woke me up."

"You are?" Tony sounded unconvinced.

"Of course; how about you go wake up Abby the same way while I go take my shower." Gibbs suggested.

Tony smiled brightly once again as he made his way quietly into the living room to wake up the still sleeping Goth girl.

As Gibbs went into the bathroom to shower he could hear the laughter that signified Abby had started to tickle Tony for waking her up the way he had. An hour later the trio was making their way down to the hotel dining room to eat breakfast.

"What would you like?" Abby asked Tony.

Tony shrugged his shoulder, waiting to be told what he was allowed to have.

"You can have what ever you want." Gibbs told him, seeing the indecision on the boy's face. "Personally, I'm having the breakfast buffet."

"Can I have that too?" Tony wondered.

"Me three," Abby announced with a smirk.

Gibbs smiled and gave a shake of his head. "Three breakfast buffets coming up."

Gibbs led the way to the buffet and helped Tony serve, not wanting the boy to burn himself. Tony ate with a gusto that reminded the two other's of the 'adult' Tony and brought back the yearning for him.

"Are you ready to go?" Gibbs asked an hour later as Tony and Abby took their last bite of food.

The two nodded their head and together the trio made their way back to the room so they could brush their teeth and get a light layer of sun block on.

----------------------

Two hours after they'd woken up the group pulled up to an amusement park. Tony's mouth fell open and his feet seemed glued to their spot.

"Are…are we really going in?" he asked.

"Of course we are," Abby laughed.

Gibbs said nothing, once again hating the man who had been a part of Tony's early life. Before going in, Gibbs turned to the both of them.

"This is a big place so if we happen to get separated we meet at the Ferris wheel," Gibbs chose the wheel since it could be seen from any angle at the park. "Tony I want you to find a security guard and get help to meet us. Same rules as when we went to my work ok? Don't touch anything, stay within my eyesight, and if you want to get on a rid, just tell me."

Tony nodded his head but Gibbs wanted to hear that he understood, "An answer please."

"I understand," Tony blushed.

"Good boy," Gibbs ruffled his hair.

He led the way into the amusement park. Abby and Tony led the way to the first ride, a roller coaster. Gibbs waited for them at a bench to the left of the ride.

Tony came off the ride first, a grin lighting up his whole face. He waited till he knew Gibbs could see him and saw that Abby was right behind him before running over to the older man.

"Did you see?" He asked. "It was awesome! It went upside down and everything!"

"I take it you had fun then," Gibbs laughed.

"Can we go on another?" Tony asked Abby who laughed and nodded.

The duo went on several more rides before deciding to take a break to find something to drink. Gibbs even brought them each an ice cream cone.

Seeing Tony working on his ice cream, Abby turned to Gibbs and started to sign.

- -Do you think it's alright to play games? - -

- - I don't see why not, - - Gibbs signed back. - - I'll give him some money. - -

Abby grinned and turned her attention back to Tony. "Do you want to go and play some games?"

Tony shrugged, knowing he didn't have any money but not wanting to say anything.

Gibbs went over to him and laid an arm across his shoulders. "I tell you what, if you help with the dishes once we're home, not only will I give you an allowance, I'll advance you a week so you can play some games."

Tony grinned, "It's a deal."

"Good," Gibbs nodded.

Abby led the way to the games where Tony stood in a awe for a few minutes before choosing his first game; a game where you burst balloons with darts. Gibbs taught him how to hold the dart before letting him go up to play the game. Tony wasn't able to burst the two required balloons but it didn't faze him.

Abby went next, and though Gibbs knew she could win, she too lost. She shrugged her shoulders and gave the two men a big smile, not at all sorry for throwing the game.

Gibbs went last. He burst all three balloons and picked a stuffed basketball which he gave to Tony. Tony took the gift with his face the picture of admiration.

Gibbs ushered Tony over to a basketball shooting game where he won a prize. With a wide grin Tony handed the prize, a stuffed pink teddy bear, to Abby who gave the animal a squeeze before hugging her friend.

The trio made their way back for a couple more rides before stopping for lunch. They decided on eating at a pizza vendor where they each grabbed two slices of pizza, a pop for Abby, juice for Tony, and a coffee for Gibbs.

When lunch was done being eaten the trio just sat around. Gibbs didn't want Abby and Tony to risk losing their lunch on a ride. Abby and Tony did most of the talking and Abby managed to get Tony to open up more about his childhood.

Nothing Tony reveled was that shocking to either of the two but it was still upsetting to hear their suspicions confirmed. Gibbs seemed especially upset. Abby knew that if DiNozzo Senior and Gibbs ever met that one would leave in a body bag and the other in cuffs.

An hour after lunch was eaten they made their way to the water park that was attached. Tony looked up at one of the water rides and took a step back.

"What the matter?' Gibbs asked, worried that he'd made the wrong decision to bring him to the water park.

"That's b-big," Tony stammered.

"You don't have to go on it," Gibbs assured him.

Tony nodded head and said nothing. Gibbs left the two, talking about which ride they wanted to go on first, and ran to the car. Unbeknownst to Tony, Gibbs had packed a bag with swim wear.

----------------------------

Gibbs waited in between the two locker rooms while Abby and Tony changed. He led them over to where he would be sitting while they went on the various rides and in the various pools.

Gibbs sat with a book and coffee, smiling occasionally when he heard Tony and Abby laughing. He put his book down at times to check on his two charges.

An hour had passed when Gibbs spied Tony's shoulders turning a slight pink and remembered that he hadn't had either Tony or Abby put on any water proof sun screen.

"Tony, Abby," he called; sounding so much like a father, several of the single mother's gave him a smile.

The two came over to him dripping wet. "Everything ok boss man?" Abby asked.

Gibbs raised an eyebrow and held up the sunscreen causing Abby to give him a sheepish grin, "oops."

The two wet ones dried off and put on the lotion with help from Gibbs. Gibbs couldn't help but chuckle when Tony let out, what could only be described as a high pitched squeal, when the cold lotion touched his skin.

"Are we done now?" Abby asked impatiently.

"Yes," Gibbs responded giving her a small push forward.

With a laugh the two went back to their fun. Gibbs left them to entertain themselves as he went to the snack bar to get drinks knowing that the two would be thirsty soon enough. He wasn't wrong.

When a few hours had past Gibbs finally called them back to him. "Go and get dress, it's time to head back."

They nodded but Tony's gaze never seemed to leave the tall imposing water ride that had first caught his attention. The ride didn't land in a pool like most of the others but rather there was a chute at the end. There was no danger of drowning but that wasn't what scared Tony; it was the height.

"You wanna go on it?" Abby asked seeing his gaze.

Tony shook his head, "It's too tall."

"I'll go with you," she offered.

"That's ok," Tony snuck a glance at Gibbs.

Abby looked at her boss and frowned. - - Take him on the ride. - -

- - No - - Gibbs signed back.

- -Gibb, he wants you to take him. He trusts you, - - Abby signed furiously.

- - I don't have suit, - - Gibbs smiled, proud of himself.

The grin quickly left when Abby pulled out a second pair of swim trunks from the bag he'd packed. It was then Gibbs understood the mischievous look Abby had given him before they left his house.

- - Please - - Abby begged.

Seeing the forlorn look Tony was giving the ride and seeing the puppy dog expression Abby was giving him, Gibbs sighed and too the trunks. He quickly went and changed while Abby kept Tony busy by going on one last ride.

------------------------------

"Let's go Tony," Gibbs ordered, keeping his voice as light as he could.

Tony turned back ready to leave when he saw that Gibbs had changed. His mouth dropped open; no one had ever done such a thing before him before. He could only follow as Gibbs led the way to the tall imposing ride.

Tony looked slightly pale as he sat down on the first circle in the inner tube. Gibbs sat in the second but allowed Tony to lean against him.

"You ready," Gibbs asked as he placed a calming hand on Tony's shoulder.

Tony nodded, not trusting himself to speak. Gibbs nodded at the man operating the ride and felt themselves being released. It was a fun ride that, in the end, Tony was glad he went on. Seeing the look of delight on Tony's face, Gibbs couldn't help but agree.

With the ride over, the trio went and got dressed back into their clothes. Gibbs led the way out of the amusement park and back to the car. Tony fell asleep almost instantly.

Abby and Gibbs let him sleep until they got back to the hotel. Gibbs sent the younger two to shower and dress, telling them they were going somewhere nice for supper.

Tony had frowned at that bus said nothing. Gibbs knew that Tony hated going to fancy places and kept that in mind when he decided where to eat supper that night. He wanted Tony to be comfortable but also show Tony that not everything was the way his father made it to be.

When Tony came out of the shower he found that Gibbs had already laid out an outfit for him; a pair of kakis, black belt, a light blue polo shirt, and black shoes. Gibbs himself wore a pair of dark slacks, belt, shoes, and a slightly darker blue button down shirt while Abby wore, for the first time since he'd know her, a simple black dress.

Dinner that night was nice affair. The restaurant was not as fancy as Tony had thought but it was wonderful. Tony and Abby had baked chicken, seasoned rice and salad while Gibbs had steak instead of chicken.

It was eight o' clock by the time they were done with supper. They left the restaurant and stopped at an ice cream place for dessert. It was nine by the time they got back to the hotel.

--------------------------

Once back in their room they each changed into something more comfortable and settled down to watch a movie. By eleven thirty Tony was half asleep with his head on Gibbs lap.

Gibbs woke him up and took him to bed. He pulled the covers back and waited for Tony to climb in.

"I had fun," Tony yawned.

"I'm glad kiddo," Gibbs tucked him in and sat on the edge of the bed, running his hand thorough Tony's hair.

"I wish…" Tony started.

"What do you wish?" Gibbs asked gently.

"I wish you were my dad," Tony finished, looking down at his pillow.

"So do I kiddo; so do I," Gibbs agreed.

Tony gave him a grin and yawned. The motion of Gibbs hand through his hair was making him tired.

"Thanks for today boss."

"You're…Tony?" Gibbs knelt by the bed, shaking the younger agent's shoulder to wake him up.

Tony's eyes fluttered open, "Hmm?"

"Good night," Gibbs whispered standing up. Gone was the hint of his senior agent and in his place was the twelve year old who just wanted to be loved.

After saying good night to Abby, Gibbs laid down. He didn't tell her about what he saw but planned on telling Ducky when he saw him next.

Gibbs fell asleep knowing that somewhere deep down in the body in the next bed, was his senior agent.

"We'll get you back," he vowed silently as sleep finally claimed him.
