Summary: Tony can't help but wonder if there is something missing from his and Gibbs' life.

Christmas Eleven – When A Child Is Born

"It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon, somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn'
This comes to pass when a child is born."
When A Child Is Born – Daniel O'Donnell

A tear slid down Tony's cheek at the sight that laid before him.

His lover, make that his new husband, sat asleep in the handmade rocking chair, their newly adopted son cradled delicately in his arms.

He had never seen such a beautiful sight and he wasn't sure when he had become so blessed.

Smiling, he quietly made his way over to his two men and knelt down beside the chair, placing a soft kiss on first the silver head and then on top of the smaller, blue capped, one.

It was only baby Liam whose eyes opened, and for a instant both Tony's jewel green ones met the sparkling innocent baby blue ones.

Ever so carefully, the brunette lifted the blue swaddled child out of the other man's arms and walked him, bouncing softly with each step, over to the crib that Gibbs had built to match the rocking chair. Staring down at the precious life that they had tried so hard to bring into their little family, Tony could see the future that laid before them; the two men trying to hold back the tears on the little boy's first day of school, the ball games Tony and Gibbs would never miss, cheering harder than anyone as their child made his first home run, watching him accept his high school diploma, standing in each other's arms as the car pulled away taking their boy off to college and being their on his wedding day, watching with pride as the little boy they once held in their arms married the person of his dreams.

The tears were free falling now and he was so lost in the memories yet to be made that he didn't hear his husband until two arms slipped around his waist, a chin coming to rest on his shoulder.

"You alright Tony?"

Tony smiled softly but didn't answer

"Hey Tony? Come on Tony wake up..."

Tony's eyes slipped open and he came face to face with his lover's concerned face staring down at him.

It wasn't until Gibbs wiped away the damp trail on his cheek with a calloused thumb that Tony realized he must have been crying in real life as well as the dream.

"Everything alright Tony?"

Tony smiled again and pulled the older man down beside him, wrapping the other man's hands around his waist letting his head rest on the bare chest.

"Yeah... yeah I think it is..." pausing for a moment he looked over his shoulder looking deep into the familiar blue eyes "I think for the first time ever everything really is alright... and... and I think I may be ready for more..."

A/N: So that is REALLY the end this time! Hope you all liked the fics! I will try and post the next part of my 'All I Want For Christmas' series by Thursday, I have started writing it but I have a busy day tomorrow so I am not sure If I will get it up then.

Thanks again for all the wonderful reviews guys I really appreciate it! I will try and get back to you all ASAP but it will probably be after the New Year weekend... Got a big party on friday, will probably need a couple of days to recover (hey I am of legal drinking age here... actually I am of legal drinking age most places now lol... can't a girl have a little fun lol!) and then my Dad's birthday is on the 4th so will probably start the replies on the 5th!

Love to you all!
