A/N: This is the next weekend, Gibbs and Tony's date night. :)

Gibbs was dressed in a pair of jeans that hung low on his hips and a plain black Armani dress shirt that Tony had bought for him over a year ago. Gibbs had scoffed at it and stubbornly refused to wear it. But tonight he and Tony were going on a date and Gibbs wanted to please Tony and he knew wearing this expensive shirt that he'd bought for him would make him happy.

He tucked his shirt in and walked down the stairs where Tony was watching Theo. Tony looked up and grinned, "Jethro, you look hot." Gibbs rolled his eyes but smiled and said "Thanks. Go get dressed; Abby should be here any minute." They had debated between asking Abby or Ducky to watch Theo. In the end, they had decided that Abby would probably kill them if they didn't ask her.

A few minutes later Tony walked down dressed in jeans, a plain white dress shirt, and a black leather jacket. Gibbs momentarily lost his focus and didn't realize Abby had knocked. Tony grinned and said "Door, Jethro." Gibbs turned and went to the door. "Hey Abs," he said as he pulled her in for a hug.

"Gibbs, you look great," she said as he turned to walk back toward Theo and Tony. "Nice butt, too." Gibbs felt a blush rising on his cheeks.

"Abs," he said in a warning tone but smiled at her despite it. She smiled innocently then turned to Tony, "Tony, you're looking sexy, as usual."

"Well, thank you, Abby."

"Okay, Abby, we shouldn't be out too late. I know we're going to dinner but I'm not sure what else we're doing, if anything. We're a little rusty in the dating department. It's been a while." Gibbs said with a small smile. "The main thing is bed time. We already gave him a bath and put him in his pajamas. He'll probably want a bottle in thirty minutes or so. We usually bring him to bed with us when we go but sometimes one of us will go lay down with him earlier until he falls asleep. You don't have to do that unless you just want to, you can put him in his crib. He's never actually slept in his crib at night and has only napped in it a handful of times so we're not really sure how that would go."

Tony grinned, "Can you tell he's just a little spoiled?"

"Just a little, Tony." Abby said with a smirk.

"We don't get too worked up over bed time," Gibbs said. "I imagine when we get him in his crib we'll get him on a better routine but until then it's easier to put him to bed when we go to bed. He's a terrible sleeper anyway." Gibbs rolled his eyes. "So whenever you feel ready or feel like he's ready. Whatever you want to do."

Abby nodded. "Sounds good. Diapers?"

Tony pointed to a basket beside the couch. "Diapers, wipes, diaper rash creams. And there's also another basket upstairs in our room."

"Got it."

"Anything else?" Gibbs asked. "Oh, you know our numbers if anything comes up. Don't hesitate to call."

"Sounds good. I think I've got it."

Gibbs nodded, "Okay. Good. I guess… we'll go then."

"This is the first time we'll both be away from him at once. We said we wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but I think it's turning out to be a bit harder than we thought," Tony said with a chuckle. Gibbs smiled and walked forward to Abby where she was holding Theo. He kissed his head and rubbed his hand over it. "I love you. We'll be back soon."

Tony walked over and kissed him, "I love you, Bean."

They walked to the door together and opened it. "See you soon, Abs." Abby waved. They started to walk out and Tony turned back, "Oh, and he likes to have his back rubbed. So if he gets really mad…" Gibbs grabbed him and yanked him out the door and quickly shut it behind them.

Tony walked to the passenger door and opened it. Gibbs grinned, chuckled, and shook his head. He got in and Tony shut the door. He saw him run around the front of the car and then he was getting in. "I can't remember the last time we went on a date," Tony said as he started the car.

Gibbs nodded, "It's been a long time." He held his hand out and Tony took it.

"You're wearing the shirt." Tony said with a smile. Gibbs smirked, "I'm wearing the shirt."

"It's not so bad, is it?"

"Only slightly worse than torture."

Tony laughed and said "Whatever." Gibbs squeezed Tony's hand and chuckled, "Okay, it's not so bad. And you love it which is a plus."

They arrived at the Italian restaurant where they were eating. Tony turned off the car and held his finger up in a "hold on" gesture. He jumped out of the car, ran around the front, and opened Gibbs's door. He held his hand out for Gibbs. Gibbs smiled and took his hand. After Tony pulled him out of the car, they shared a quick kiss and pulled apart.

"Ready?" Tony asked as he bounced on his feet.

"Ready."

After they were seated, they ordered their food and drinks. Gibbs sat listening to Tony talk. Tony kept him laughing through most of the meal. And his laughing kept Tony laughing. After they were finished eating, Tony sat back in his chair, smiling. "This was great. You didn't have much to say tonight though, Jethro. I guess I was running my mouth as usual," he said with a chuckle. Gibbs shook his head, "I was enjoying listening to you. I didn't have much to say because I liked hearing what you had to say."

Tony was looking at him with a tender look on his face. "I hate to get all corny on you here but I think it has to be done. How did I get so lucky? How is it I got so lucky to be with you?"

"Ah, Tony, I'm the lucky one. You're the one that ended up with the bad-tempered old man. I got the funny, charming, happy-go-lucky, good looking guy."

An irritated, angry look passed over Tony's face. "Jethro, is that how you think I see you? A bad-tempered old man? If that's all I thought you were, why would I be with you? Sure, you can be moody at times and yeah, you can be hard to handle every now and then. But you're so much more than that. You're compassionate, a great friend, my best friend in fact, you've got a pretty damn great sense of humor yourself, and you're not always a man of many words but when you do say something, it's worth hearing. Oh and you're very romantic, for someone who has divorced three times. I wasn't expecting such a romantic man. I'd also like to add that age and the color of your hair has nothing to do with good looks because you are one handsome and sexy guy."

Gibbs felt himself blushing. Tony smiled, "I could go on forever sounding like a goofy sap, I'm sure. Should I?" Gibbs shook his head and cleared his throat, "No, but thank you for what you said."

Tony nodded. "We said from the beginning we'd work at being open and honest with each other and talking about things instead of arguing all the time and ending up in a bad place. I think we've done a really good job of that for two guys, one of which always claimed he doesn't like to express his feelings." Tony said with a grin.

Gibbs chuckled, "I guess if you want to make something work you learn to express your feelings or risk screwing it all up."

"Is it bad that, as much fun as I've had, I'm kind of sad we aren't with Theo?"

Gibbs laughed and said "No, that's not bad. I miss him too. He's probably in bed by now. I wonder if Abby put him in the crib. Want to go find out?" Tony nodded. They paid for the bill and left for home.

They walked in and Tony said "Abby, we're home." Abby was walking down the stairs.

"No good?" Gibbs said.

"I don't think he took too well to not having his daddies to sleep with. I tried him in the crib and he screamed. I gave him a few minutes but he was pissed off in a bad way. So I got him out and calmed him down. Then I lay in bed with him. He seemed to do okay for a minute but then he got restless and started crying again. I rubbed his back but he was getting really worked up again. I picked him up and rocked him and he finally fell asleep after a while. Then, not twenty-five minutes later, he was screaming again. I just got him back to sleep after he was hysterical for a good ten minutes."

"Oh, Abs, we're so sorry. We probably should have planned to go out a little earlier and done bed time ourselves."

"Don't worry about it, guys. Seriously, it's no problem."

"He was okay other than bed time?" Tony asked. Abby nodded, "He was great. He's so much fun!"

They heard Theo crying upstairs. Gibbs looked at Tony, "I'll go. You pay Abby. Abby, thank you so much. I'm sorry bed time was such a hassle." He kissed her cheek and headed upstairs.

He found Theo on their bed on his stomach, beside the bed rail, red-faced and screaming. He picked him up and held him against his chest, rocking gently. "Hey, Little Bean, you're okay. Shh. Papa's here," Gibbs said in a soothing voice. After a few minutes of rocking and quiet talking, the baby began to calm down. Gibbs rubbed his back, "Are you being a mad baby tonight, Theo?" He kissed his head and continued rocking.

Tony walked into the room, "And you're telling me you want a second one?"

Gibbs sighed; maybe it would take a lot more convincing than he had thought.

What did you think? I'm sure there will be more to come in the next couple of days. Thanks for reading!
