Thank you for the great reviews. You guys really keep me motivated.

Here's the next chapter. Tony may seem OOC, but please look at the situation and take it at face value.

Enjoy…. And review soon… Thanks!

---------------------------------------------------

Ziva and McGee had left for the city 2 hours earlier and Ducky was with Angie and her baby getting them ready to be transported to Bethesda. Both mother and baby were doing well physically but Angie was anxious about Tony's condition. And despite Ducky's reassurance that he was doing better, she felt she needed to see him for herself. But at the same time she was terrified that he would hate her for what Fred had done and he would also hate Emma.

Tony was still reeling from everything that the team had revealed to him. He thought about his father and the empire he had built. He remembered his mother vaguely as well as the 2 step moms he had had. He knew that his father had remarried in the last few years, but he had not met this latest trophy wife. And now there was a young woman in the next room and she had just given birth to his father's bastard.

What should I do? Should I meet them and get to know them. Or should I just let them disappear and not make them my problem. And what if Angie goes to him and he rejects her and the baby. Or worse what if he takes the baby from her and brings her up the way be brought me up! Damn it, what would Gibbs do in a situation like this? What would he do?

I'd do the right thing, DiNozzo. Tony heard Gibbs' voice echo through his head. Just then the medic helicopter was heard outside.

Gibbs and Bianca heard it too and so did Jason. He watched as Bianca and her new lover dressed quickly before leaving her room. Then he moved into the bushes at the back of the clinic and waited to see who was leaving.

Tony realized that Angie and his half sister were about to leave so if he was planning to do anything it would have to be now. At the same time there was a knock on his door. Tony looked at the door, as it opened slowly.

"Anthony may I… I speak to you… for a moment." A young blonde haired, blue eyed lady asked. In her arms was a precious new born baby girl. Tony stared at her for a moment as he controlled his anger towards his father. Then he swallowed hard as he nodded his head indicating that Angie could enter his room. Angie took a few hesitant steps towards the bed and stopped at the side of the bed.

"I'm sorry!" Angie said as tears filled her eyes and spilled over. "I had no idea that Fred would try to hurt Emma's father." She continued as she noted Tony's various injuries.

Tony was silent as he looked from Angie to Emma, who was bundled up so tightly that he couldn't see her at all.

He tried to reconcile who Emma was and whether he wanted her to become apart of his life while he still battled his raging anger against his father. When Angie saw the confusion, indecision and anger in Tony's eyes she hastened to say, "I just want you to know that you don't have to worry about me ever becoming a burden to your family or demanding anything from you or your father for Emma. Your father didn't even know that I was pregnant and I knew that he was married and that he wouldn't leave your step-mom for me. I'm just so sorry that you were hurt because of me."

Then she turned away and started heading for the door.

"Wait!" Tony called out. Angie stopped and turned back to Tony. At the same moment the blanket around Emma's face fell open and she stretched her tiny hands in front of her face as she yawned and then mewed. The sight of her amazed Tony and he thought, We are family. It doesn't matter how this happened. The fact remains that you're my …my …baby sister. I should protect you and be there for you. None of what happened is your fault. Oh Boy, this is huge. I'm a big brother!

"Angie, what Fred did isn't your fault." Tony said surprising Angie. "And … and … if it's okay with you can I look in on Emma and you on occasion?" Tony continued, making Gibbs who was standing just outside his door, very proud.

Angie looked at Tony in shock as she asked, "You want to stay in touch with us?"

Tony hesitated for a second before confirming, "Yes, I would like to get to know my baby sister."

Angie's eyes filled with tears once again and she said, "You will always be welcome in our home, Anthony. And I think Emma will be very lucky to have a brother like you looking out for her."

Bianca saw the glow of pride and happiness on Gibbs' face as he pulled her close and kissed her forehead. That's exactly what I expected of you DiNozzo.

In the meantime, Ducky got the medic team to prepare to transport Angie and the baby. When he made his way back into the clinic he raised an eyebrow at finding Bianca in Gibbs' arms. As he headed for Angie's room, Gibbs said, "Duck, they're in here."

When they entered Tony's room, they found Angie leaning close to Tony and him gently caressing Emma's hand. A second later Emma closed her fingers around Tony's finger and the bond between brother and sister was forged forever. Everyone smiled at seeing this vulnerable side of Tony, but Tony was too engrossed to notice.

Ducky cleared his throat a few seconds later and said, "Angie, it's time to go."

"Thank you, Dr Mallard & Dr Bianca, for everything. Agent Gibbs thank you, for saving Emma." Angie said as Tony placed a light kiss on Emma's forehead.

"Tony, I'll see you soon." Angie smiled and Tony nodded as he leaned back against his pillows.

As Angie, Ducky and Bianca left the room, Tony's eyes collided with Gibbs' and he saw approval and pride in Gibbs' eyes. Then he thought I need more meds or something, because I'm seeing things. Boss never shows his emotions so openly so that expression of satisfaction and delight I'm seeing must be a figment of my imagination or something.

"DiNozzo, believe it." Gibbs said, before turning and leaving the room with a smirk on his face. Tony stared at the closed door for a second before a huge smile spread across his face. Thanks Gibbs.

-------------------------------------------------------------

As McGee drove back to Bianca's clinic, he noticed a blue sedan parked a short distance away from the clinic. He found it a bit odd as there was nothing out there other then the clinic.

Maybe they've had a breakdown or they're at the clinic getting some kind of help. McGee thought as he turned into the driveway leading to the clinic.

When he entered the clinic, he heard voices coming from the kitchen area. Ducky and Bianca were busy preparing what looked like a curry and Gibbs was sitting in a chair at the table sipping a steaming cup of coffee.

Ducky was relaying a story, "Yes that was when I was in Jaipur, India. All the buildings were built with a pink rock which led to the city being known as the pink city. It was also called the land of the Raja's that is the land of the kings. And they had the most amazing spices, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and of course being India, there would be crushed chili and curry leaves."

"McGee, you got my clothes?" Gibbs asked, stopping Ducky's story.

"Right here boss." McGee said. Gibbs grabbed his track pants and NIS sweat shirt and made his way to Bianca's room to change. Bianca followed him and started undoing his gown as soon as the door behind them was closed.

"Mm, are you planning to take advantage of me Dr B?" Gibbs playfully asked. He was glad. Glad that Tony was going to be okay and that the bastard who had been after Tony was dead. And glad that things between him and Bianca seemed to be progressing very well.

"As tempting as that is, I think that one round per day is the limit for you in your current condition." Bianca replied as she helped him into his track pants.

"That's a pity." Gibbs whispered as he leaned forward and kissed her lips. She smiled as she returned the kiss. But as soon as it became too heated, she pulled away, and they rested their foreheads against each other. Then Bianca helped Gibbs into his sweat shirt and placed his arm back into the sling.

"It's time for your antibiotics and pain meds. And I'd better go and check on Tony and see if he needs anything." Bianca said as she made to turn away. But Gibbs held onto her hand and stopped her.

"First I think I need one more session of mouth to mouth Doctor." And then his lips were on hers and his tongue was passionately caressing hers. Bianca sighed in pleasure as she enjoyed to long forgotten sensations that pulsed through her body.

As the kiss continued for a few more moments, Jason was hard pressed to keep his emotions under control. He wanted to tear into the room and kill Gibbs with his bare hands. And then he wanted to get Bianca naked and take a knife to her back as he violated her body. Just the thought of it brought his arousal to full attention and he realized that he was going to do it that night, whether the other patients in the clinic were still there or not. And once he was done killing them he was going to burn the clinic down.

With the plan vividly playing through his mind, he ran unseen back to his car and made his way to a hotel in the city. He would return after dark and act out his scheme ensuring maximum pleasure for himself.
