The DiNozzo's were going out for the first time, since learning that they were pregnant. It was just a small gathering with a few of their parent friends; Maria and Issac, Trevor and Jasmine, the McGee's, and Palmer's. Donna's friend Joan and her husband Ted were supposed to join them but they lost their sitter at the last minute. That was one of the things Tony and Donna were not looking forward to.

Tony and Donna, and Maria and Issac were the first to arrive. They ordered drinks and Maria ordered an appetizer. The family was enjoying being able to catch up with one another. They had not seen much of each other since Mollie was born.

"So are you guys going to go all out with the modern? 3D ultrasound, gender reveal party, big announcement?" Maria asked.

"We want the 3D ultrasound but we are still unsure about everything else. We are debating learning the gender and we are still gun shy." Donna explained.

"Hey guys" McGee greeted.

"Hi Tim" Maria greeted.

"Hello Mr. McGee" Issac added.

"Oh hi, Tim." Donna greeted nervously.

"Hello Probie, where's Delilah?" Tony questioned.

"She ran into one of her friends from rehab. They both had babies recently, we may not see her tonight." McGee explained.

"Probie I ran out of memory on my phone just from the pictures you texted me." Tony laughed.

"OK fine I am a total hypocrite. So what were you talking about?" McGee questioned.

"Babies" Maria replied.

"How is Mollie?" McGee asked.

"She is great. How is Persephone?" Maria asked.

"She is amazing. The triplets are watching her. Well Penelope is on call but they have all baby sat for Sarah's son TJ." McGee explained.

"Oh good we are not the last to arrive." Trevor gasped.

"Long day?" Tony asked.

"Three sick kids, two parent meetings, and one fight." Trevor explained.

"We did get some good news. It's why were are late actually. We went to the doctor today and they were able to do our anatomy scan." Jasmine explained.

"How did it go?" Maria asked.

"It's a boy" Trevor replied.

"Names picked out?" Issac questioned.

"We have a few ideas but we are not sure just yet." Trevor replied.

"Sorry we are late. Tori would not let us leave." Jimmy apologized.

"Then Jimmy took a wrong turn on the highway." Breena added.

"Gee thanks" Jimmy sighed.

"Don't blame our daughter for your lack of direction." Breena warned.

Dinner went well considering everything. Eventually Delilah returned along with her friend Margo. After coming to blows at the table, Breena explained that Tori was recovering from an ear infection and nobody had gotten any sleep the night before. Maria and Issac raced out before the food even arrived, saying that it was an emergency. Trevor and Jasmine offered to drop their leftovers off, Jasmine's parents lived in their neighborhood and they were going to tell them the news real fast.

"That was an interesting dinner." Tony laughed.

"It was" Donna agreed.

"I'm glad the McGee's didn't arrive thirty seconds sooner. We may have been caught." Tony commented.

"Same I just hope that Mollie is OK. Maria and Issac rushed out in a hurry. Maybe we should go check on them." Donna explained.

"We really should." Tony agreed.

Maria and Issac raced around their house tossing clothes, shoes, and various other essentials into suitcases and two carry on bags. They had known this was coming and had meant to pack weeks ago but Mollie had thrown them through a loop. She was a fairly easy baby but she was still a baby.

"I am so sorry, Issac." Mollie apologized.

"It is OK. I mean it's not but she has been sick for a long time and she is with Sam now. She missed him so badly. I do too." Issac explained, referring to his older brother who had been killed in Afghanistan several years prior. Now his sister in law had died from a series of health complications.

"I wish I could have known him better. We only got to meet two or three times." Maria recalled.

"You would have loved him. You would have loved Ally too. The real Ally not the frail woman she had become." Issac explained.

Tony and Donna turned into their daughter's driveway. They hated to come across as overly concerned parents but they were extremely concerned. Maria and Issac were not the types of people to just rush out of a restaurant. Cautiously the knocked on the door, until Maria answered. Her eyes were red and puffy and it was clear that she had been crying.

"Maria? What is wrong? Is Mollie OK?" Tony asked.

"She is fine. We were actually just about to call you. Would you mind keeping her for a couple of days?" Maria questioned.

"Why? Are you guys OK?" Donna asked.

"Issac's sister in law, Ally. She died today." Maria explained,

"She was the one who had been sick, right?" Tony asked.

"Yeah diabetes and a few other issues." Issac replied.

"Oh Issac, Maria, I am so sorry." Donna apologized.

"Thank you" Issac replied.

"Anyway the funeral is in a few days in Dallas. Even though the pediatrician said that it would be OK as long as we are careful. We just don't feel comfortable taking Mollie on a plane until she has her vaccinations." Maria explained.

"I understand that and we would be glad to keep her." Tony assured.

"There is something else. We kept it quiet because there was a chance that Ally's mom would be willing to take custody. Sam and Ally had two sons Logan and Kaiden. It worked out that we are going to adopt them." Maria explained.

"Are you sure you can handle that? Now I mean. I know you are having postpartum issues." Donna asked.

"We have known for a couple of years now. It's going to be rough but we did want more children and my doctor thinks that Mollie will be our only. As for me I am getting help." Maria explained.

A/N: Looks like the family is about to grow again. New chapter will be up soon. Thanks for reading and please review.
