The morning came with the smell of coffee, bacon and eggs.
"Good morning sunshine." Tony said as he brought breakfast to Deanna in bed. No one had ever done this for her.
"Tony this is extremely sweet of you!" Deanna said in awe. He knows how to cook, he can sing and play the piano and to top it off he's super-hot! I've got to keep him Deanna thought to herself.
"Do you mind if I join you?" Tony asked.
"Oh please" Deanna responded.
Tony climbed back in bed began to eat his own breakfast. Tony looked over at Deanna. She was looking so much better than she did when he first met her. The bruising from her face had went away, revealing an even prettier young woman. He couldn't help but thinking it was destiny that brought these two together.
Gibbs and Kate returned to D.C. The police in Oklahoma said they would continue their search for Tanner but figured he had fled the state possibly to Mexico and wouldn't bother Deanna if she came back to Oklahoma. They promised Gibbs that they would have a team outside Deanna's house 24/7 watching and protecting her in case he tried to come back. Gibbs plane touches down in D.C. On his way to headquarters he calls Tony.
Tony at first doesn't hear his phone. After Deanna and himself finished breakfast they decided to make love. Now Tony was holding Deanna in his arms and they had both fell asleep.
"Dammit Tony pick up the phone." Gibbs says hitting the steering wheel.
"I'm sure he's at his apartment Gibbs." Kate tells him "You did tell him not to leave."
"What I tell DiNozzo to do and what DiNozzo does is two totally different things." Gibbs spat.
He tries calling Tony's cell phone again. This time the ringing wakes up Tony.
"Yeah boss" Tony answered while yawning.
"DiNozzo get up and bring Carter with you to headquarters." Gibbs said.
"I'm on it boss." Tony said hanging up the phone. He hated to wake Deanna up. She looked so peaceful laying on his arm.
"Deanna…" He said rubbing her cheek "We've got to get to headquarters."
"Just five more minutes." Deanna said as she rolled over and pulled the covers over her head.
Tony took the covers and yanked them back. "we've got to go now. Gibbs just called."
"Gibbs can wait. Sleep can't" Deanna said mumbling.
"I don't think you know Gibbs that well." Tony said pacing. He looked back over on the bed and Deanna was snoring. What can I do to wake her up, he thought. Then a brilliant idea came to mind. He got over beside her and started to tickle her ribs. This made her wake up fast. He heard a sound he had never heard Deanna make before. The sound of laughter. It was beautiful. He began tickling her feet which was even more ticklish then her ribs. When she begged him to stop only because she was on the verge of peeing herself, she realized what he had said earlier.
"Did you say Gibbs called? Deanna asked.
"Yeah he's wanting us down at headquarters."
As Deanna got dressed, she couldn't help but notice what Tony was putting on. Except for the night he took her to dinner, he had been wearing jeans and a button up shirt, but today was different. Today he was putting on a nice suit and tie. Why was he dressing up so much? Was it because Gibbs was back in town? Surely not. The older man didn't seem like he would be the type to make his agents wear suits when he wouldn't wear one himself.
"You look very nice." Deanna said as Tony started to spray on his cologne. "What kind is that you are spraying?"
"It's Ralph Polo Blue. I have never worn it. I just that the bottle was pretty." The two share a laugh.
One they got down to NCIS headquarters Abby was in the elevator with Tony and Deanna. Deanna tried to be nice. She smiled at Abby but Abby gave her a death glare. Tony grabbed a hold of Deanna's hand which really shocked her with him being at the place of work. As they stepped off the elevator Tony caught Abby.
"Why the hell would you tell Deanna I'm gay?" Tony spat.
"Well Tony…she's too good for you. I mean look at yourself. You are a great guy that avoids relationships at all cost and here you are all googly eyed over this new chick fling you just met." Abby answered.
"I'm only going to say this once. Stay the hell out of my personal life. Yes, we have to work together but don't ever over step your boundaries into my life again." Tony said very angry. He then stormed off to his desk where Deanna was sitting. This upset Abby and she went back to the lab.
"Your late" Gibbs spat.
"Sorry boss. How was your trip?" Tony asked.
Gibbs slaps the back of Tony's head. "It's better now."
"Did you find Tanner?" Deanna asks.
"No but the police there think he might have fled to Mexico." Kate answered.
"So what now?" Deanna asked.
"You can go back home. We have it set up to where police officers will be watching your house around the clock in case he decides to come back." Gibbs explained.
"I can go home?" Deanna questioned.
"I don't see any reason for you having to stay here." Gibbs answered.
As much as she wanted to return home, she felt more at home with Tony then she did in Oklahoma. She began to cry as she shook each one of their hands and thanked them for helping her. She turned to go to the elevator. Tony couldn't take it anymore he couldn't watch her walk out of his life like this. Not after her having the impact on him that she had.
"Deanna wait." Tony yelled.
Deanna turned and it also caught the other agent's attentions as well.
"Deanna Carter. I can't live without you and I don't want to picture a life without you. I love you and I need you in my life. Please stay with me." Tony got down on one knee "I know I don't have a ring but I can give you all of me and I the love I have to give. Will you marry me?"
This caught Deanna of guard. Was he really asking her to marry him? Was she dreaming?
"Yes!" Deanna answered.
Tony picked her up and spun her around. He passionately starting kissing her.
"You kids get a room." Gibbs said with a smirk.
The two of them just smiled at Gibbs. They were going to be Mr. and Mrs. DiNozzo! And both of their wishes were coming true.
What kind of unexpected surprise will Gibbs give to the happy couple and How will Abby react to the news? New Chapter up soon! Please review.
