I yawn as I roll onto my side in bed, opening my eyes, sunshine streaming through the shades. I see a gold-colored note on the bed, with a single rose on it, where Tony usually sleeps. A grin spreads across my face as I roll over to my stomach, reading the note.

Morning, beautiful!

You had been complaining of how tired you are and so I asked Gibbs to let you come in late today. You don't have to come in until two. Follow the petals for a special surprise.

I grin as I grab the note and rose, following the rose petals down the halls of our house, and up to the useless attic. I open the door, to find he's transformed the space into an art studio. The windows are clean and bright, the view of the Potomac is lovely. He's bought new paints, drawing pencils, colored pencils, crayons, markers, pens, as many art supplies as I could possibly want. On the walls, he's framed the work I've already done, even the cartoon of him drooling over a woman. I laugh when I see it. Walking over to the main desk, I see another note and another rose.

I hope you like your art studio! You always work on your drawings wherever you could, so I thought you'd like a special place just for your beautiful work. If you're hungry, I made pancakes for you. They're in the microwave if you want to heat them up.

I take another moment to gaze around the room, before taking the new note and rose, heading down to the kitchen for breakfast. True to word, the plate of pancakes are in the oven and he even set the timer to the number I always heat things up to; 3:33. I eat the only thing Tony makes that is delicious, his pancakes. Everything else he makes normally is borderline inedible. By the time I finish breakfast, or lunch, it's 12:30. I head up to my bathroom to get dressed, when I find another note, and of course, rose.

I couldn't swing a spa day for you, because of Gibbs, but I figured this would at least be an attempt. The lighter is in the upper left drawer. The candles are all your favorite scents, peppermint and vanilla. The bath salts are vanilla-scented. I put your favorite George Winston album in the CD player, all you have to do is press play. Enjoy your bath!

I grin as I start the bath, making it almost painfully hot, just the way I like it. I pour the bath salts in and light all the candles, and turn on the music. I turn out the main lights, and allow myself to relax in the bath, enjoying the beauty of how relaxing the smells, music and bath are.

When the water starts to turn cold, I get out and drain the tub. I wrap myself in my fluffy bathrobe, quickly blowing out all the candles, but I leave the music on. I go to the closet, and open it to find a beautiful new dress, with a note and rose pinned to it. The dress is a dark, royal blue. It is an old-fashioned type dress but very classy. It is a fit and flair that has a sweetheart neckline and a halter-top, with a silver sash. I see matching silver heels underneath the dress. Walking closer, I read the note.

I saw this the other day and thought of you immediately. Please wear it for me today! I can't wait to see you in it. I love you!

I hurry and pull it on, the silky dress light and airy. I dry my hair and leave it in its natural waves. I do a light touch of makeup, before I leave for NCIS. I get there ten minutes later, and take the elevator up to the squad room.

When I walk in, the whole team is gone.

"Pacci, where's the team?" I ask the agent who sites behind my desk

"I think they're down in Abby's lab." He answers.

"Thanks." I say, walking to the back elevator and taking down to Abby's lab. I walk in and see Tony standing there, the entire team behind him.

"Hey Guys, what's going on?" I ask, walking in

Tony walks up to me, grinning

"What?" I ask

"Caitlin Rose Todd. Though from the moment we first met on Air Force One, we've bickered and gotten on each other's nerves, I wouldn't change a single thing. I love you more then anyone on this earth and you've done so much more than been my teammate and the love of my life. You've changed me for good, for better, and I will never be able to repay you for that, or show you just how much I love you for it, but please let me spend the rest of my life trying. Will you marry me?" asks Tony, getting down on one knee.

Tears are streaming down my face.

"Yes! Yes! Tony!" I answer, laughing through my tears. His grin becomes even brighter as he slides the ring onto my finger, stands and kisses me.

The team is cheering, and as soon as Tony and I step apart, Abby throws herself at me, squeezing me tight in a hug, before she throws herself at Tony, McGee gives me a hug, as does Ducky, while Gibbs gives me a kiss on the cheek.

It appears that Abby decided we should have a party afterwards, and had enough food and drinks for us all, playing some soft music in the background.

"So, Tony, thank you for such a wonderful build-up to the proposal." I say, kissing him quickly. He grins at me

"That was just because Katie, it had nothing do with all this." He gestures around him "All of that was just because I thought those were good ways to show you how much I love you." He kisses me

I giggle when I pull back "Well, I loved it, thank you." I wrap my arms around him and he holds me close. I close my eyes as I inhale Tony's scent, so thankful to be engaged to such a completely annoying, childish idiot whom despite his flaws will do anything for me, just because.
