Enjoy and let us know what you think.
The ride in the helicopter was short but Tony's little bunch of energy used the time to get some rest. The pilot landed on the hospital roof and Kate was rushed into surgery. Although Tony and his family were now safe, Gibbs made no move to leave them. He stayed with them while Kate was in surgery.
Her surgery took several hours and it drove Tony mad. Finally, when a doctor appeared to talk to Tony, Gibbs promised to stay with his sleeping children. Tony followed the doctor into a small office and listened carefully to what the doctor told him about his sister's surgery and how she would need a care taker for the rest of her life as they had no choice than to remove her right left. The blood loss was heavy as well and her kidney's got infected badly so Kate would need dyalisis for the rest of her life. Her body would be covered in scars unless she decides to go for plastic surgery but Tony wasn't thinking of that yet. He was too glad that Kate was alive. The rest would be fine, he would make sure of that.

Three hours later, Tony found himself and his kids in a huge hotel room that Gibbs had quickly booked so they all could get some good rest in real beds. He helped Tony getting the kids bathed and showered and ready for bed. When the kids were sleeping, they each took a turn in the shower as well. When Tony emerged he saw Gibbs laying on the small and uncomfortable looking couch.
"Let's share the bed, Jethro. It's big enough for both of us." Tony told him gently. Gibbs nodded and joined Tony in the huge bed. Sleep found them both pretty soon as both were exhausted.

Gibbs woke up to the feeling of something - or rather someone - laying almost on top of him. During the night, he and Tony must have intertwined their legs and Tony's head was laying on his chest with his arm securly wrapped around him. It wasn't dark outside anymore but the sun wasn't up entirely yet so Gibbs guessed it must have been very early. Although he normally got up the minute he woke up, he didn't mind laying with Tony like this. Gibbs had always been a very protective man but with Tony and his kids it was different. Gibbs didn't just try to protect any family - he felt like he had found a family of his own with the younger man and Abby, Ellie, Tim and Jimmy. Somehow, the five of them found a way into his heart and hell, he even liked and respected Kate. When he felt Tony snuggling closer, he couldn't stop the small smile and a lonely single tear from falling. He had lost many of his good friends but he found hope in the form of a little family that seemed to like and accept him.
Gibbs heard the door opening and saw Abby popping her head in. Her hair was messy and she looked sleepily. But when she saw her dad laying in bed with Gibbs she practically beamed in happiness. She opened the door so Ellie could slowly walk in. Abby followed her little sister when she had closed the door and the two young girls joined Gibbs and Tony in bed. Tony slowly woke up to the movement but didn't seem shocked or surprised at how close he was to the silver haired man. He gestured for Abby and Ellie to come closer and the four of them snuggled close and fell back to sleep.

Thankfully, Gibbs checked them into a hotel with breakfast. The older man grinned at the view in front of him: 4 hungry kids digging into their pancakes, salads, fruits and Kellogg's. He was so engrossed in watching the kids that he didn't really notice Tony coming up behind him and wrapping his arms around him.
"They look like they're starving. You don't want to eat some breakfast, Jethro?" Tony asked in a gentle tone.
"I'm fine. Let them eat first. Any news on Kate?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah, she's awake. She was shocked about the surgery and losing her leg but she was more upset about us. She thought we were still out there. I wanted to ask if you could watch over them for a bit so I can go and visit her? I think it's better to take the kids later, when Kate has had more time to deal with everything. What do you think?" Tony asked.
"Sounds good." Gibbs said and placed a gentle kiss on Tony's nose.
Tony thought nothing of it when he turned Gibbs' head around again and kissed him on the lips. Gibbs froze at first but his feelings for Tony were so deep that he gave in and the two men shared their first kiss. Not even the happy sighs and 'aww's from Abby, Tim and Jimmy could stop them. Ellie didn't understand what was going so she continued to happily munch on her breakfast.
"You know what, Jethro? I want you to come home with us. We don't want to live without you anymore. And I know that Kate wouldn't mind either. You make us happy and from what I've seen, we make you happy as well. I think we're a good team and fit perfectly. What do you think?" Tony asked.
"Don't waste good." Gibbs said with a grin.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tony asked confused.
"It's a rule of mine. Don't waste good. And you're right, we are good." Gibbs explained before he grabbed Tony by his shirt and brought him closer to kiss him again.

Epilogue
It's been a full year since the tragic events at Jurassic World. Tim, Jimmy and especially Abby still had nightmares occasionally but thanks to therapy and the unconditional love and support from their father and Gibbs, they managed to deal better with the horror of Isla Nuba in time.
Gibbs had moved in with Tony's family and helped remodeling the house so Kate wouldn't have any problems living with her family either. Ellie began to call Gibbs' dad' quickly and her older siblings love their stepdad as well. They were all excited for the upcoming wedding ceremony as Gibbs had asked Tony to marry him and become a real family. Kate approved easily because Tony's happiness wasn't hard to see.
Gibbs and Tony opened a store with furniture build by Gibbs. Tony took over the commercial matters such as orders, bills and so on. Never once in his life Tony had dared to dream of having a family with a partner by his side. Gibbs had quickly become an expert in parenting and Tony's friends accepted the silver haired man without much trouble.
The little family knew that no matter what life might throw at them in the future, they would make it through everything together. Like a real family.
That was the final chapter. We really weren't sure about adding the epilogue or not but we wanted to give you guys a hint at how things would be after they all went home. We hope you like the ending. I really liked Sandy's idea of Tony and Gibbs opening the store together as partners. Being partners in every aspect needs a lot of trust in the other and I think trust isn't an issue between these two in this story.
Anyways, I hope you liked the final chapter. It was exciting for me to step aside and let Sandy do this because she has seen the movies and is fascinated with dinosaurs. I hope we could deliver a nice little story to your entertainment.
More new stories are coming soon :) THANK YOU for everything.
