THURSDAY 3: AM
Sam was laying in bed when she heard the keys in the door. Gibbs had called her to let her know that would be late. When she rolled over Shaq got up and walked out of the room. She was surprised to hear laughter. She got up and walked out herself to find Gibbs and Tony holding a drunk McGee. "What happened?" Sam asked.
Tony looked at her. "Probie decided he would go get drunk while at Fornell's retirement party." Tony said. Sam moved some of the pillows on the couch where Tony and Gibbs could sit McGee down.
"I'm gonna go get something to drink." Sam said moving into the kitchen.
Gibbs followed her with his eyes. "Wander why she's still awake." Gibbs said.
Tony shrugged and walked into the kitchen. "Hey why are you still awake. It's 3 in the morning." Tony said.
Sam nodded. "Couldn't sleep." Sam said pouring some orange juice into a glass.
Gibbs came in and grabbed a class for some water. "Hey." Gibbs said to Sam.
Sam smiled at him. "Hey. How was your friends retirement party?" Sam asked sitting down at the table.
Gibbs noticed her wincing while she sat. "Fine. Bunch of FBI guys getting hammered." Gibbs said.
Sam smirked. "Wow." Sam said.
Gibbs nodded. "They're all gonna be sorry tomorrow and Friday." Gibbs said taking sip of his coffee.
Tony sat down at the table with them. "Fornell's partner was hilarious." Tony said.
Gibbs nodded. "Yeah he was." Gibbs said.
Sam looked at them. "Ok why aren't you 2 going to bed?" Sam asked.
Tony smirked. "Cause someone's gotta make sure McGee doesn't run into the bathroom door when he wakes up." Tony said.
Sam nodded. "I ain't going to get much sleep with the little one kicking me." Sam said. Gibbs looked to Tony.
Sam rolled her eyes. "Go to bed. You both have to work tomorrow." Sam said pushing herself up and going to the sink and rubbing the small of her back.
"Back hurting?" Gibbs asked.
Sam nodded. "Been giving me a fit for about a week now." Sam said. "But I knew it was coming. Carrying a baby can be hard on the body. Especially the back." Sam said sitting back down.
Tony nodded. "Uh your mother had a lot of back problems." Tony said.
Sam nodded. "Go to bed guys. Don't worry about me I'm gonna work on the computer for a while." Sam said.
Tony nodded and kissed her head. "Have fun. Guide Probie in the right direction." Tony said waiting on Gibbs.
Sam nodded. "Will do. Good night." Sam said watching her dad go hand in hand with Gibbs.

McGee looked up. "Down in the lab with Abby. Hey by the way thank you for not letting me run into any doors this morning." McGee said getting up.
Sam smirked. "Not a problem. You walk me down there?" Sam asked.
McGee smiled and held his arm out. "Glad you asked. Tomorrow is Friday. School out soon right?" McGee asked.
Sam smiled. "Promise not to tell anyone but today was the last day til the beginning of September.." Sam said stepping with him onto the elevator.
McGee nodded. "So you can go back to school and not be pregnant. Just be sleepless." McGee said. Sam nodded when the doors opened to hear Abby going on about something.
"Alright Abby tell us in English now." Gibbs said.
Sam smirked and walked in fully. "She's saying that the micro chip in this computer is obsolete." Sam said.
Abby turned and smiled. "Wow. How did you know that from all the technical stuff I just said?" Abby asked. "Oh and Hi. When did you sneak in?" Abby said.
Sam smiled. "Cause I actually took a computer class. And just a minute when you finished your last sentence." Sam said.
Gibbs looked at Sam. "Do you think you can get into the main hard drive thingy?" Gibbs asked.
Sam looked at Abby. "Gibbs I just got into the hard drive." Abby said.
Sam smirked. "Abby pull up the program manager and put in the code." Sam said. Abby did so and Sam nodded.
"When you delete stuff it goes into the program manager for like I think 7 days. And then it's deleted fully. I know I have to clean it out like every day considering what I find on the computer from Dad." Sam said.
Abby smiled. "You're so telling me and Kate what you find." Abby said.
Sam smirked. "Ok you should be able to see all her deleted files." Sam said rubbing her lower back.
Kate watched her. "You ok?" Kate asked.
Sam nodded. "Yeah. Back is hurting me." Sam said staring at the computer screen. Abby looked at her.
"Should get Tony to rub your back." Abby said smiling at Tony.
Sam burst out laughing. 'Abby I think I can manage my back problems. But thanks for offering Dad up." Sam said.
Kate nodded. "Yeah Tony might get the wrong idea." Kate said.
Tony laughed. "Funny Kate." Tony said.
Gibbs cleared his throat. "Alright Dinozzo go look for Ensign Perry. Kate make sure Officer Dansky's service revolver is a match to the bullet's found in our Petty Officer. McGee how's the headache?" Gibbs asked smirking.
McGee looked at him scared. "Fine Sir." McGee said.
Abby smirked. "Ahhh McGee got drunk last night." Abby said.
McGee blushed. "Yeah. I woke up on Gibbs's couch." McGee said.
Kate smiled. "Yeah I watched them take you out." Kate said.
Abby looked at Sam. "How was school?" Abby asked.
Sam rolled her eyes. "Like any other day. Told by the football captain I should of let Niles shoot and kill myself. And told by the queen bee that I should have let everyone think I was pregnant by the chess captain." Sam said.
Kate smiled. "Todd there today?" Kate asked.
Sam nodded. "Yeah. Me and him have Spanish together." Sam said.
Kate nodded. "Cool." Kate said.
Sam looked to Kate. "You think you can go with me to an appointment tomorrow morning?" Sam asked.
Kate nodded. "What kind of appointment?" Kate asked.
Sam smirked. "One I don't want Dad at. Ultrasound." Sam said.
Kate smiled. "I'll come by and pick you up." Kate said.
Sam smiled. "Thanks. Alright heading home." Sam said walking to the elevator and going through the bull pen. Gibbs who was sitting at his desk motioned for her to come to him.
"Yeah." Sam said.
"You want company to the Ultrasound in the morning?" Gibbs asked.
Sam narrowed her eyes at Kate who held her hands up in surrender. 'I didn't say anything." Kate said.
Sam nodded. "I forgot about my calendar." Sam said turning back to Gibbs. "I got it covered." Sam said.
Gibbs nodded. "Ok. You heading to the house?" Gibbs asked.
Sam nodded. "Yeah gonna go prop my swollen ankles up." Sam said.
Gibbs nodded. "See ya later." He said. Sam walked away from his desk to the elevator. She looked back to see Tony pouting. Sam smirked and walked over to his desk and kissed his cheek quick.
"Didn't want to ruin your image." Sam said.
Kate smirked. "Fat chance of that happening." Kate said.
Tony glared at her. "Be quiet." Tony said kissing Sam back. "Be careful." Tony said.
Sam smiled. 'Always am." Sam said heading to the elevator again.

Sam shook her head. "No I'd rather be surprised." Sam said. Kate nodded as the doctor came in.
"Hello Samantha. How you doing today?" Doctor Goodwin asked.
Sam smiled. "Fine. Just tired and my back has been sore." Sam said.
Doctor Goodwin smiled. "Happens. When I was pregnant with my first son I was constantly having my husband massage my back." Doctor Goodwin said.
"Ready for this?" Doctor Goodwin asked. Sam nodded and laid back on the table.
The nurse stepped in. 'Doctor Goodwin. There's 2 men saying they know this patient." The nurse said.
Sam looked at Kate. "Gotta be my dad." Sam said. Kate nodded and slipped out and dragged Tony and Gibbs in.
"Just in time Gentlemen we're fixing to start." Doctor Goodwin said. "Alright Sam this will be cold." She said squirting gel onto Sam's stomach and getting the wand out.
"Ok let's see. There's a hand." Doctor Goodwin said pointing toward the screen. Sam had to remind herself to breath cause the picture was amazing. Her child was moving in her and she was watching it. She didn't notice Tony moving to stand beside her until he took her hand.
"Do you want to know the gender?" Doctor Goodwin asked.
Sam shook her head. "No." Sam said.
Doctor Goodwin smiled and handed Sam some tissue. "Clean up and we'll set up your next appointment." Doctor Goodwin said leaving the room. Sam wiped her eyes with her hand.

Tony looked over at him. "A picture." Tony said opening his desk drawer and slipping it in.
Kate smiled at McGee. "It's Tony's new baby." Kate said.
McGee looked confused. "But I thought Sam was 17." McGee said. Gibbs and Abby walked in them and heard the last line.
Abby smirked. "McGee ask what Tony was looking at?" Abby asked Kate.
Kate nodded. "Yeah now he's confused. Should we tell him?" Kate asked.
Abby shook her head. 'See if his investigator's skills work." Abby said.
Gibbs cleared his throat. "Kate did you get the Petty Officer's jacket?" Gibbs asked.
Kate nodded and stood up. "Yeah." She said as Tony's desk phone rang.
"Sorry." He said picking up. "Dinozzo." He said.
"Hey Daddy. Are you busy?" Sam asked.
"Listening to Kate talk about our latest victim. Why what's wrong?" Tony asked.
"Nothing just wanted to let you know that Stacey called and wants me to stay with her and Heather tonight so I can drive her to the church." Sam said.
Tony nodded. "Ok. I'll call you when we get home. And Sammie make sure you eat and take your medicines." Tony said.
"I always do daddy. Give McGee a hard time for me." Sam said.
"Gladly already started. Love you." Tony said.
"Love you too daddy. Have fun. Bye." Sam said.

Sam nodded and turned the light on. "Alright I need to get back and see what Todd wants." Sam said turning back to Tony and hugging him. "Morning daddy." Sam said smiling. Tony was stunned that Sam would hug him in front of Michael and a woman Sam went to church with.
Sam smirked at his reaction. "Thought I forgot didn't you?" Sam asked smiling.
Tony looked down. "Yeah. Figured that you wouldn't want to hug me in front of everyone." Tony said.
Sam shook her head. "You should know by now I don't really care what people think of me." Sam said.
Tony nodded. "Go see what Todd wants." Tony said. Sam smiled and left the room.

Sam was shocked. "Wow. Um Todd if you haven't noticed I'm five months pregnant." Sam said.
Todd nodded. "Yeah I noticed. And I noticed that you have fought most of the way through the pregnancy." Todd said.
Sam nodded. "Todd look. I like you a lot as a friend. But getting into a relationship is probably a big mistake." Sam said.
Todd looked down. "Can I just do one thing?" Todd asked. Sam looked at him and was surprised when he kissed her on the lips. Sam reciprocated quickly. When they pulled apart Sam wiped her mouth.
"So what do you say now?" Todd asked.
