A/N 2: I don't know anything about the adoption/care system, so very sorry if my info about it is not correct.

Tony's Girl

Chapter 11

Tony woke up with something on his chest. He slowly pried open his eyes, scanning the room. His eyes immediately fell to the little body on top of his chest, with fistfuls of his old OSU t-shirt. He smiled, but soon it turned to a frown. He really had to empty his over-full bladder, but that would mean having to get up. And getting up means having to move the sleeping girl, probably waking her in the process. He closed his eyes, trying to ignore the discomfort, when he felt soft breaths on his face. He opened his eyes slowly, seeing a small, smiling face right in front of him. He smiled back.

"Hey, there, sleeping beauty." He said softly. Destiny's eyes lit up as he whispered to her. She started bouncing softly up and down, right on Tony's bladder. He groaned, and gently lifted her onto the bed beside him. She frowned slightly. Tony saw this, and smiled at her.

"Don't worry." He said gently. "I'll be right back." Destiny nodded hesitantly and then watched him as he slowly jogged, hunched over, to the bathroom. She giggled quietly when he sighed in relief as he took care of business. Tony jogged back into the bedroom, and then jumped on the bed lightly, making Destiny bounce into the air. She squealed in delight, and clambered onto Tony's lap when she saw he was comfortable. Tony smiled down at her, as he wrapped his arms around her.

"You okay?" he asked. Destiny looked up and smiled at him as a yes. She started playing with his OSU t-shirt absentmindedly, her forehead resting against his chest. Tony had a feeling she wasn't really okay, but let it go for now.

"Okay," he said clapping then rubbing his hands together. "Who wants breakfast?" he asked. Destiny nodded, and wrapped her arms around Tony's neck. Tony picked her up, walking to the kitchen. He gave her some Cap'n Crunch and then after she had finished eating, she asked her to get dressed. He went for shower, got dressed and went into the den, collecting his ID, gun, and keys, waiting for Destiny to reappear. He grinned when she walked into the room, wearing one of his other OSU t-shirts and her own jeans. He grabbed the camera the Abby gave him, and snapped a photo. Tony placed the camera in his pocket, and picked up Destiny.

"You sure you wanna wear this shirt?" he asked. Destiny nodded against his shoulder.

"Please?" she whispered.

"Sure, whatever ya want." Tony said softly. "Let's go." And with that, they left the apartment, and made their way to the Navy Yard.

Meanwhile, Gibbs had a visitor at his home across town.

"I better not get sacked for this Jethro." Judge Carl Shineman stated to Gibbs, as he handed over a stack of papers. Gibbs snorted and said

"It's only adoption papers Carl." Carl looked at him.

"Yes, but you and I both know that the perspective adoption parents have to be interviewed, and their homes have to be checked out, and in this case, have not been done."

"Anthony DiNozzo is a kind, caring, free spirited, active federal agent. He already loves the kid, and he has known her for like, 2 days." Gibbs drank from his everlasting cup of coffee. Carl sighed.

"That may be, but it still is protocol, no matter who the person is."

"I trust Tony, Carl. That should be enough. The kid might not know that he would make a good father because of his crappy childhood, but he will…makes a good dad." Gibbs stated. Carl sighed and stood up from the 70's couch, and smiled slightly.

"Just don't make me regret doing this for you, Jethro." He shook Gibbs' hand firmly and walked out the house.

Tony arrived in the bullpen 5minutes before Gibbs, armed with Destiny, who he planted on the floor beside his desk, letting her attempt Tetris on his cell. He was in the middle of checking his emails, when a stack of papers were thrown down in front of him. He looked up, seeing Gibbs walking behind his own desk.

"Boss?" questioned Tony. Gibbs glanced at him, and then looked back at the file he was holding.

"Adoption papers. Judge owed me a favour." Gibbs answered the unasked question. Gibbs smirked when he looked up at his senior field agent. Tony was staring at him, open mouthed. "Close your mouth Tony, you'll attract flies." He joked lightly. Despite what the rest of his team think – hell, the rest of the entire Navy Yard – Gibbs wasn't always a bastard. This was how he and Tony acted around each other when McGee and Ziva weren't around. Like normal people. Friends. Family. Gibbs watched as Destiny stood up and toddled over to him, the huge t-shirt trailing behind her. Gibbs rose and eye-brow at Tony, who just shrugged his shoulders. Destiny pulled on Gibbs' pant leg.

"Yeah?" he asked softly.

"What does adopsion mean?" Destiny asked quietly. Gibbs looked at Tony, who had the hearing of a bat. Tony nodded silently. Gibbs knelt down to be eye to eye with her.

"Adoption is when a kid – like you – goes to live with somebody who is not their mommy or daddy, but love them very much." He said slowly. Destiny looked thoughtful for a while.

"Why can't they live with their mommy and daddy?" she asked.

"Well, sometimes, their mommy and daddy don't know who to look after them properly, and they want their child be looked after properly. But sometimes, their mommy and daddy are mean to them, so they are not allowed to live with them." He replied. 'God, this is hard.' He thought, wondering if he said the right thing. Destiny nodded and walked back to Tony, sitting beside his legs, and leaning against them, looking up at Tony. Tony and Gibbs both let out a sigh of relief. Then, McGee and Ziva arrived with coffee.

"Morning, Tony, Boss." "Morning Tony, Gibbs." They said simultaneously. The two men nodded their response, and went back to working. Tony pulled Destiny onto his lap, and stroked her hair with one hand as he worked.

Around 1400, Tony exclaimed "I found something boss!"
