The next night, Abby took Charity out to see a movie, while Gibbs and Tony finished the crib. Once the crib was finished, they carried it up to Charity's room and put the mattress in it. They walked down from Charity's room. Gibbs grabbed them a couple of cold ones and they sat down in the living room.

Gibbs looked over at Tony. "What's on your mind, DiNozzo?"

Tony took a swig of liquid courage. Then he looked at Gibbs. "I...uhm..." Tony begand, but couldn't find the right words to finish his sentence.

Gibbs reached over and slapped Tony on the back of the head. "Just spit it out, already." Gibbs told him.

Tony took another drink and put the bottle down on the table. "I am asking your blessing to ask Charity to marry me."

Gibbs took a drink of his own beer and then sat it down on the table. He looked Tony square in the eye. "I knew that this day would come." Gibbs told Tony and then sighed.

"What day is that?" Tony asked, unable to help himself.

"The day when a man would come into my daughter's life and they would fall in love." Gibbs answered. "The day another man would come in and take my baby girl away."

Tony looked at Gibbs. "I'm not going to take her away..."

Gibbs interrupted him. "Yes you will, but I know it's just part of life." Gibbs grabbed his drink and took another sip, then he put it back down on the table.

"But, boss..." Tony began.

Gibbs waved his hand to silence him. "Ever since Shannon and Kelly were killed, Charity has been my whole world. The moment I saw you two, talking at NCIS when you first met, I knew that something was going to happen."

"How?" Tony asked. "I didn't even know then."

"The look on your face when you saw her was the very same look I had on my face when I first met her mother." Gibbs answered.

"Oh." was all Tiny could think to say.

Gibbs sighed. "I would be proud to call you my son-in-law."

Tony looked at Gibbs shocked. "Really?"

"Yeah." Gibbs answered. The two men sat in silence for a while. Gibbs looked at Tony, "If you tell anyone about what I've said tonight..." Gibbs began.

"You don't have to finish that sentence. I got it, don't tell anyone at all." Tony said.

Gibbs laughed.

After a few moments, Abby and Charity walked in the front door. They slipped off their shoes and walked in the living room. "We're home!" Charity sang.

The two men looked up and smiled.

Charity looked over at Abby. "I think I'm scared. They look too happy for being alone for so long."

"I think I have to agree with you." Abby replied. "Let's just smile and walk away slowly."

Tony stood up and walked over to Charity. "We were just happy because we have that surprise we've been working on done."

Charity's face lit up. "You did?"

Gibbs stood up. "Yes we did baby girl."

"Well, let's go see it." She said heading over to the basement.

"You're heading in the wrong direction." Tony said.

Charity turned to look back at the two men. "Well, where is it then?"

"It's in your room." Tony answered.

Charity headed to the stairs. She slowly started climbing up and to her room. Gibbs, Tony, and Abby follwed her up. Once they reached the top of the stairs, Charity walked to her room. She opened the door and looked over against the wall.

"Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed. She walked over to the crib and ran her hands over it. "It's beautiful!" She turned to look at the men behind her. "You guys made this?"

They nodded.

Charity wobbled over to them and threw her arms around them, forcing them into a group hug. "Thank you so much." When she pulled away, tears were in her eyes.

Tony reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "At least we know you like it."

Charity grinned. Then she put an arm around Tony and an arm around Gibbs. "I don't like it. I love it and I love it because the two men that mean the most to me in this whole world made it, together."

Abby put on a pouty face. "Don't I get a hug? I mean I took you out so they could surprise you."

Charity grinned and let go of Tony and her father. She walked over to Abby and pulled her into a hug. "I love you, too Abby." Charity said with a laugh.

Abby left and Tony ended up staying the night. He and Charity snuggled up in her bed. While they were snuggled up, Tony felt something bump his side. "What was that?"

Charity grinned. "Your son just kicked us both." She answered.

Tony looked at her. "I thought he was your son, too."

"You see when he's behaving himself and not kicking me, he's my son. When he's being mean and kicking me in the ribs or the kidneys, he's your son." Charity answered with a giggle.

Tony laughed and then kissed Charity's forehead. "I love you."

"I love you." She said, just before drifting off to sleep.

Tony watched her as she slept for a little while. He began to plan when and how he was going to propose to her. He kissed the top of her head and soon fell asleep himself.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I know Gibbs and Tony have gotten a little out of character, but I wanted to make a father/son moment between Gibbs and Tony.
