Two weeks later:
"Gravb your gear! Dead Petty Officer" Gibbs called out from behind his desk. McGee stood up and Gibbs gave him a look that made him sit back down. "Damn, I hate this cast!" McGee whined. "Get used to it Mchurt your going to have it for at least three more weeks" Tony smiled. When they got to the crime scene Tony noticed a small little boy and said "Boss, want me to talk to the kid?" Gibbs looked at the kid and smiled "Yeah, go ahead" he replied. Tony walked over to the boy and asked "Hi, my names Tony DiNozzo. I'm going to help find out who did this to your dad. What's your name?" The boy looked at Tony with scared blue eyes "Adam." he said in a small voice. "Nice to meet you Adam. I see you like Ohio State!" Tony said pointing at the t-shirt the boy had on. "You know I played basketball there one time." he told the boy. "Really? That's so cool! My dad likes...liked that basketball team" he said tearing up as he chocked the last words out. Tony felt his heart break. "I have to ask you a few easy questions and then we're going to take you back to NCIS with us okay?" Tony asked. The boy nodded his head. "Okay, you told those nice police men over there you were in your room watching a movie when you heard voices and a gun shot right?" Tony asked him. The boy nodded again. "Besides your dad how many voices were there?" Tony asked. The boy held up 2 fingers. Tony nodded and said "Okay, come with me you can sit in the back of the car until I get done talking to my boss." The boy's head shot up and he said in a panicked voice "No! Please don't leave me!" Tony crouched back down and said "I won't let anyone hurt you okay? How about I let my friend Jimmy look after you for a couple of minutes until I get done. Would that be okay?" The boy nodded and said "You'll come back though right?" Tony nodded. "Okay" Adam mumbled.
Tony left McGee with Adam and he went in to tell Gibbs what he had found out. "Boss, Adam said that he hear two voices other than his dad's before the gunshot." Tony told his boss. "Alright, well call his next of kin and get them in here to get the boy" Gibbs told him. "That's going to be a problem Gibbs. He doesn't have any more family. It was just him and his dad" Ziva told the two men. Jimmy ran in then and said "Adam started crying. He's screaming for Tony." Everyone looked up as Tony ran out of the house to Adam. "Hey, Hey, what's wrong?" Tony asked in a frantic voice crouching in front of Adam. "I thought you left me. The Jimmy guy said you guys were going to send me to any other family I had" Adam said crying. "I'm notgoing to leave you okay?" Tony reassured him. Gibbs, Ziva, Jimmy, and Ducky watched the scene unravel from the window.
"Gibbs?" Ziva said. "Yeah?" the older man asked in a gruff voice. Ziva turned to him "Why do I have a feeling we're going to be a family of 4 by the end of this case?" she asked. "I got that same feeling." Gibbs told her while watching Tony rock Adam back and forth trying soothe his crying.
McGee watched as Tony strolled in with a 4 year old boy on his hip and sit him down at his desk. "I'm going to go get you something to drink. What kind of soda do you want?" Tony asked him. "Do you have Sprite?" the little boy asked. "I sure do. Now stay here with my friend McGee while I go get it okay?" Tony told him. The boy nodded. McGee stood up and walked to where Ziva was standing and gave her look to explain. "It seems Tony and Adam have taken a liking to each other. I have a feeling we will be moving into a bigger house soon." she told him sitting down at her desk. McGee nodded and went to sit back down.
Tony walked into the breakroom and found Gibbs leaning against the snack machine. "Boss." Tony siad simply. "DiNozzo" Gibbs said back, taking a sip of his coffee. They were silent as Tony put in coins to get the soda Adam wanted. "Why are you doing this to yourself?" Gibbs asked him. "Doing what?" Tony asked pushing the sprite button. "Getting attached to a little boy. Ziva's already looking up 4 bedroom houses in the bullpen. You better know what your taking on before you decide what your going to do" Gibbs said pushing his self off the snack machine. "I know what I'm getting myself into. I'm not going to let him be bounced around from foster parent to foster parent." Tony told his superior. "As a father I say Go for it. As a boss, I say are you sure?" Gibbs told him searching his eyes for any doubt. "I'm 100%. I just have to ask Ziva" Tony told him. "She's already prepared for it." Gibbs said walking out. Tony smiled.
By the end of the day they had the case solved, a viewing of a house, and an appointment with Social Services to adopt Adam. Jenny had told Tony to keep Adam for the night just in case the killer had an accomplice. Everyone knew it was because, Adam wouldn't let Tony out of his site. Ziva watched the two interact and thought to herself: He's going to be an amazing father.
A/N: Sorry if it was a bit rushed! What do you think of Adam? The thought came to me while watching reruns of NCIS. I realized that in every show where there was kid they were either close to Gibbs, or Abby. So this one was close to Tony(: I hope it wasn't to horrible! Please continue to R&R!(:
