CHAPTER 10: GOING TO NCIS & SHOPPING...
NCIS...
TONY'S P.O.V.
"Okay, do you remember what I told you?" I asked.
"Yes, Probie is the desk on the same side as you, Gibbs is across from him, and then there's...Ziva?" Jessie said and I nodded.
"Yeah, that's everyone on the floor I work on." I said as we walked into the Bullpen.
"Hey, Probie," Jessie called and Probie Pan looked up.
"What other names has he told you to call me?" McTim asked Jessie.
"There's more?" Jessie asked looking over at me.
I laughed and McGee groaned.
"Yes, I have a list of them. I'll tell you most of them." I told her and got a glare.
"Gibbs and then Ziva," Jessie said walking over Gibbs desk and then looking over at Ziva.
I heard the elevator and looked up as...
"Tony, you didn't tell us you bringing Jessie by today! Hi, Jessie," Abby said as she stood just in front of McBoyfriend's desk.
"Abs, what are you doing up here?" Gibbs asked.
"Since we finished that case yesterday and don't have anything else right now. I just decided to come up and see everyone." Abby replied.
"More like her McBoyfriend." I muttered to Ziva.
"Mc what," Jessie asked.
"Never mind, Abby and Ziva have offered to take you shopping tonight." I told her and she seemed to think for a second.
"Will you be there?" Jessie asked.
"Yeah, I'll be close by." I said.
"Okay, when do we go shopping?" Jessie asked as a happy look crossed her beautiful little face.
"Tonight..." I began.
"If your dad let's anyone get their work done." Gibbs said and I could see a look in his eyes.
I knew he was not seeing Jessie...he had to be seeing Kelly at Jessie's age.
"All right, well I guess we could go see Ducky and Palmer. Then how about some ice cream, I asked and her eyes lit up even more...if that is even possible.
"Yeah, Come on and don't be slow!" Jessie told me getting a laugh from everyone and a few looks from some of the others as they passed by.
"Agent DiNozzo, what are you doing here?" It was Director Vance and when I looked up so did Jessie.
"Daddy is showing me NCIS!" Jessie said before I could answer and I could have sworn that Director Vance's lips twitched as if he was trying to hide a smile.
"We're just about to leave, Director. After one more stop." I said and Director Vance just nodded.
"Come on, daddy, hurry up!" Jessie said heading in the direction of the elevator that would take us to Ducky's lab.
My only guess is she remembered the elevator from last time she was here.
"Tony, you better hurry up. She sounds as impatient as you are sometimes!" Ziva said and was laughing with Gibbs, Abby, and McGee.
I followed Jess to the elevator.
"Can I push the button?" Jessie asked and I pointed out which one and she just had to push it four times.
"Jess, you don't have to push it so many times!" I said looking down at her and she looked up at me with her smile.
"I know." She said.
I was still getting used to the idea of how much Jessie is and I am alike.
She was getting even more impatient. When the doors finally opened, I grabbed her hand before she ran into Autopsy, because I didn't want her to see any dead bodies if Ducky had any out.
She didn't need nightmares from that.
"Ducky, I have, Jessie and just was..." I started and Ducky appeared in the door.
"Jessica, how nice to see you again, Come on in there's no one here...except Mr. Palmer and myself." Ducky said and we walked in the door.
"Thanks, Ducky. You know why I..." I began.
"Yes...yes, I do dear boy and I am delighted you could come by." Ducky said.
"What does 'topsy mean?" Jessie asked and I looked at Ducky.
"Well, my dear..." Ducky explained it to her in a way that she could understand and a way it would not scare her.
"Wow, NCIS is so...cool." Jessie said looking around.
"Well, it looks like you two are getting along well." Came Palmer's voice.
"Mr. Palmer?" Jessie asked.
"You can call me, Jimmy." Autopsy Gremlin told her.
"Okay." Jessie said still looking around.
'Or Autopsy Gremlin,' I thought, but did not say anything.
After a few minutes, we said good-bye, then after saying goodbye to Abby... (Who was still in the Bullpen)...and everyone else we left.
CAFE...
"What would you like?" I asked.
"Sundae, Strawberry!" Jessie yelled as the waitress took our order.
"How about we get one we can share? That way it won't be too much." I suggested and Jessie nodded excitement.
This day was going well and the days from now on with Jessie would just get better. Being with Jessie now would not make up for the first years of her life I missed, but we could not change the past.
"Daddy," Jessie asked and I looked at with a silly grin that made her giggle.
"What?" I asked.
"Do you have any other family?" Jessie asked.
"I had my mommy, but she went away like your mommy did when I was eight. My dad, well...he comes to see me sometimes." I said.
"Will I get to meet him?" Jessie asked.
"I'm sure of it." I told her and there was no way I could tell her what Anthony DiNozzo Sr. was like.
For a while, we just sat there, when the sundae arrived, we both grabbed our spoons and started to eat.
17:30 (5:30 PM)
THAT EVENING...
Jessie and I had just finished the spaghetti I had made for dinner. Jessie had told me it was her favorite and I made a joke...
"Must be because you have Italian in you," I told her and she looked at me.
After that, I cleaned up the kitchen and had just finished getting her ready to go shopping when the doorbell rang. Jessie ran for the door and threw it open.
"Hi!" She yelled, seeing Abby, Probie, and Ziva.
"Glad to see your coming, Probie." I said coming up behind Jessie.
"Thought you might not want to be the only one on this trip who wasn't a women or girl, I remember when Sarah was her age. " He said looking down at Jessie.
"Are you thinking about kids now?" I joked, because of the look in his eyes.
"No." He replied and what came next shocked everyone.
"Why not, Timmy," I heard Abby ask Tim and he looked at her.
"Abs, can we talk about this alone later?" McGoo asked and I had to laugh.
"Can we go now?" Jessie asked showing again, how impatient she was.
So we headed out the door, Ziva had a ride with Abby and McGoo. Abby climbed into Tim's car and they were it looked like they started a conversation. Therefore, I put Jessie in her seat and Ziva got into the passenger's seat.
First McTim pulled out of the driveway and anyone could tell what he was talking with Abby about.
"You just had to say something..." Ziva said and I smiled at her.
"Come on, Zi. You didn't see them when they first met; they just needed a little push." I said.
"It's not nice to push someone." Came Jessie's voice and I looked in the review mirror at her.
THE MALL...
I followed Jessie as she walked just ahead with Ziva and Abby.
"Why did you have to get Abby to start talking about having kids?" McProbie asked.
"I was joking, Abby was the one that always said she never wanted to get married, or have kids." I said.
"Yeah, but now that she's met your daughter..." He began.
"What? It's not Jessie's fault." I told him and he rolled his eyes.
We entered a clothing store...Ziva, Abby and Jessie headed off to the clothing rack. They began to pull off clothes as Jessie gave her own opinions on them.
"How much are you going to let them buy?" McCurious asked with a smile.
"Hey, don't go hog wild! I only have so much and can only spend so much!" I said as I realized how much there was.
"I guess your daddy's right." Abby said and then whispered something to Jessie that only Jessie and Ziva heard.
The three laughed and looked over at me.
"What did you tell her?" I asked Abby.
"Toy store next," Jessie yelled and I groaned.
"That's not what Abby told her." Ziva said looking over at me with a smile.
"What...?" I asked.
"I said the only reason you two came along was to carry all of the bags." Abby said.
"Abs," Tim began and Abby gave him a smile.
"What? We have to get some clothes, toys and some other stuff...Jessie has to have something in her room. Besides I plan to buy some stuff too, because now that Tony has a daughter...it's my job to spoil her." Abby told me, but was looking at Tim.
After getting Jessie, some clothes we stopped at a few more stores for toys, a few more kids' movies. Then it was time to leave and take all the stuff home.
"Any more and I don't think it would have fit." I said putting the last bag into my car.
Jessie, Abby, and Ziva laughed. After the clothing store...I lost count of how many bags there were.
19:45 (7:45 PM)
TONY'S HOUSE...
I unlocked the door and stepped inside as first Jessie. Jessie was half-asleep as she walked in the door. Then Ziva, McGee, and Abby followed.
Jessie was not the only one, who was tired, but it looked like me and McGoo were as well. It had been a long day for Jessie...for me to. I put Jessie's stuff in her room, and then I was kicked out so Ziva and Abby could help Jessie get ready for bed.
"It's okay to come in now!" Abby called and I walked into the room, McGoo right behind him.
Jessie was in a Little Mermaid nightgown she had managed to find. She climbed onto her bed and I covered her up as the other three watched.
"Good night, Jess." I said.
"Mommy..." Jessie yawned sleepily. "...used to call me, Care Bear." Jessie said and her eyes drifted shut.
"All right, Care Bear." I said and after a minute left the room with the other three right behind me.
"I guess we better go." Abby said after a minute and had her arms around Tim, Abby seemed to holding him up.
"Yes, I need to go home as well. Since my car is at home." Ziva said.
"All right, thanks." I said as they headed for the door.
"No problem, Tony. We'll see you later." Abby said as she led McGoo to the door.
"I'll stop by tomorrow after work." Ziva said as she gave me a kiss on the lips and I pulled her closer, only breaking apart when we needed air.
Then closing the door behind them and headed for the living room. I found a James Bond movie on and settled down to try to watch it...but I knew it would not last too long.
I was so tired...
