A/N: So sorry for the delay for this story, it seem that my muse decided to go away and leave me high and dry. I bribed her back with hot tea and English muffins. I want to thank everyone who had reviewed and added this story to their favorites. All mistakes are mine and mine alone.

Not long after, Vance and Fornell left after saying good-night to Diana and Tony. Vance tells them both not to worry that he doubts that Tony will be in any trouble at all with the court.

Tony helps Diana stand then walks her to the stairs telling her that he will be along shortly and not to worry. Once Diana is all the way up the stairs he returns to the living room and starts to help Gibbs pick up the dirty dishes and straighten out the room.

""What are you doing DiNozzo? Go to bed, you look like tired and all worn out."

Sighing softly Tony admits that he is tired so very tired. "You're right, Good night boss." He says with a smile gracing his features.

Gibbs watches quietly as Tony trudges up the stairs, not moving or looking away, he watches as Tony checks on his daughter then as he opens the door to the room he is sharing with his wife. Once Gibbs hears the click of the door closing he continues cleaning.

It doesn't take Gibbs long to pick up, then he does the one thing that he never does he locks the doors, the front and the back. The people in his house a precious to him and he wants nothing to happen to them at all.

After the stress of the last few days he knows that he has to burn off the left over tension and anger that he has. So he fills is coffee cup and makes his way to his basement, placing his cup on the bench he turns and pulls the sheet off of his latest project, a cradle, a doll cradle for Anna.. The last time he visited them he watched her play with her dolls using a box for a cradle. She told him that she was going to ask Santa for a real dolly cradle with drawers on the bottom so she can put her baby doll clothes away just like mommy and daddy put her clothes away.

Gibbs remembers telling her that he thought that was a great idea. He knew that he could make something as simple as that for his Anna. He thought of her as his granddaughter, he knew that he really wasn't but deep in his heart she was his and the entire family agreed with him. Because who in their right mind would argue with Gibbs on who he could love and spoil.

Tony leans against the door and watches as Diana brushed her hair, she has beautiful hair, long and thick, it always smells so good and it is soft to the touch. "Let me brush it for you." he says as he takes the brush and sits behind her on the bed. He slowly runs the brush through her hair then he puts the brush down and plaits into one thick braid that lays on her back stopping at the top of her bum.

"Thank you." she tells him turning her head sideways she kisses him softly.

"Anytime my love." he says returning the kiss gently.

After changing into sleep-pants he slips into bed spooning her as he pulls the covers over them. When he feels her trembling he holds her a little bit firmer.

"Diana?" He asks when he hears her sigh.

"We could have lost her. If it wasn't for your old team and the FBI we wouldn't have been able to catch the bastard in time. How do we thank them."

"Just like that, you tell them. Vance and Fornell each have children they both understand what we were going through."

"I know, I just can't stop thinking about what if?."

"She is fine, sound asleep in the next room. You have to let go of the negative emotion, it's not good for my son or his mother." he tells her as she turns in his arms.

"I know and I'll try. I'm glad that Gibbs is part of our lives. Our children need a grandfather and I couldn't have asked for a better one even if I tried." Diana tells him.

"I know, I wonder if I can persuade him to move out and live near us, Anna would love to have her playmate around fulltime." Tony muses.

"I know I wouldn't mind if my playmate wanted to play with me right now, Tony." She says all breathy as she slides her hand under his pajamas pants while kissing his neck.

'Aren't you tired?" he asks her.

"Not for this, I think it might even help me sleep."

"You're the doctor." He says as pushes the covers down and helps her get into a position that she finds comfortable for lovemaking.

"Damn right I'm the doctor so you had better start following Doctor's orders."

"As you wish." He mummers to her softly knowing full well that line comes from her favorite movie.

He wakes up just after six in the morning after putting on a pair of sweat pants and a tee shirt he slips out of the door carrying his running shoes. Sitting on the last step he puts on his shoes without making any noise, or so he thinks.

"Don't run more than three miles there is a chill in the air. I'll have breakfast almost ready by the time you get back."

Looking up he is not in the least bit surprised to see Gibbs standing there holding a steaming cup of coffee in one hand while offering him a glass of juice with the other.

"Thank you.." he replies after he hands back the now empty glass.

He comes back an hour later with a thin sheen of sweat on his face, his tee shirt damp from his run. "I thought I told you three miles." Gibbs growls.

"You did, I also didn't expect to see Tim outside this morning he ran with me I only ran one extra mile."

"Is daddy going in time out Gibbs, for not listening to you?" Anna asks.

"After court he is. Now go shower so we can eat." Gibbs orders.

Tony looks at his wife trying desperately trying not to laugh as she covers her mouth and turns back to the kitchen.

"On it, boss." Tony responds with a smile, before he runs up the stairs.
