Gibbs and Abby B. looked at each other. Both were taken aback by the doctors comments. She said it was OK but what if she was just telling them that? How would they explain it to Tony if they lost the baby? Maybe it was a bad idea to tell him so early on. What if he blamed himself? Gibbs looked into Abby B's eyes and could tell she was having the same fears. What if this was something that one of them did? Of course maybe there really was nothing wrong.
"...It's just well. Congratulations you are having twins." Dr. Peters replied.
"Really?" Gibbs asked.
"Are you sure?" Abby B. questioned.
"Yes I am see there they are. Right there and there." Dr. Peter's replied pointing to two tiny spots on the screen.
"Oh Jethro" Abby B. whispered.
"I know." Gibbs replied.
"Well everything looks good with both babies. I would like to see you again at twelve weeks. Here is my card if you have any questions call me and if anything feels wrong get straight to the ER." Dr. Peters explained.
"Don't worry I will take her right away." Gibbs replied.
"He's right and thank you doctor." Abby B. replied.
Tony drummed his fingers on the arms of the chair. He knew that Gibbs had an appointment with Abby B. and would be late. He also knew that Maureen would stay with him as long as she needed. What he didn't know was how late Gibbs was or what was going on with the baby. He wished that he could have gone with them but Gibbs didn't know how he would behave. He tended to get upset and misbehave in hospitals.
"Maureen?" Tony asked.
"What is it Tony?" Maureen asked.
"How late is Gibbs?" Tony asked.
"Only about fifteen minutes." Maureen replied.
"When will he get here?" Tony asked.
"I don't know Tony." Maureen replied.
"I hope it's soon." Tony replied.
"It will be." Maureen assured.
"Good" Tony replied.
"How's your friends baby doing?" Maureen asked.
"Better but still really sick." Tony explained.
"Oh well I hope that he is all better and home really soon. Maureen replied.
"Me too I wanna meet him." Tony replied.
Abby B. waited in the car. While Gibbs went in and picked Tony up. He couldn't wait to show his oldest son the sonogram of his new babies. He still couldn't believe that he was having twins. Two little babies. Two tiny versions of him and/or Abby Borin. He hoped that the babies looked more like Abby. She was so beautiful and perfect. He couldn't believe that she was his. He owed so much to Tony. The woman he was going to marry, his unborn twins, his whole life. His dad always said that everything happened for a reason and he had finally found the reason for Tony's accident and disability. He opened the door and his son instantly flew into his arms. He threw his arms around his son and smiled.
"Boss!" Tony cried.
"There's my boy." Gibbs replied.
"Missed ya!" Tony cried.
"I missed you too." Gibbs replied.
"How'd Abby B's appointment go?" Tony asked.
"It went very well. In fact I have something to show you when we get back to the car." Gibbs replied.
"OK!" Tony cried.
Once they had arrived home. Abby B. went to start making dinner. While Gibbs and Tony sat on the couch to watch a movie. Tony rested his head on his dad's shoulder and started to fall asleep. Gibbs reached up and tousled his son's hair. Tony stirred and sat up.
"What is it Boss?" Tony asked.
"There is something that I want to show you." Gibbs replied.
"Oh yeah! What?!" Tony cried.
"Here" Gibbs replied pulling the sonogram out of his pocket.
"What is it Boss?" Tony asked.
"These are our new babies." Gibbs replied.
"Babies? How many?" Tony asked.
"Two" Gibbs replied.
"Twins? We're getting twins?!" Tony cried.
"Yes we are." Gibbs replied.
"Aright! What are they?" Tony asked.
"We don't know yet." Gibbs replied.
"Aw why not?" Tony asked
"Because the babies are still to small to tell but we will know in a few months." Gibbs explained.
"Can't wait!" Tony cried.
"Tony can I ask you something?" Gibbs asked.
"What?" Tony asked.
"Would it be OK with you if I asked Abby Borin to marry me?" Gibbs asked.
"Will she be my mom?" Tony asked.
"Yes she will." Gibbs replied.
"Yes!" Tony cried.
"So I have your permission?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah!" Tony cried.
It was Tony's bedtime. Gibbs and Abby B. were standing around his bed. Gibbs gently stroked his son's cheek and Abby B. lightly shook his foot. Tony yawned and pulled Jack Bear close to his face. Gibbs pulled the blanket over Tony's chest and kissed his cheek. Then got out-of-the-way allowing Abby B. to do the same. Once they had said goodnight they went across the hall to their own room.
"Jethro" Abby B. whispered.
"What is it?" Gibbs asked.
"Can I ask you something?" Abby B. asked.
"Sure" Gibbs replied.
"You adopted Tony right?" Abby B. asked.
"Yes I did." Gibbs replied.
"Would it be OK if I adopted him as well?" Abby B. asked.
"Of course but you will have to change your name to Gibbs first." Gibbs replied.
"I can do that." Abby B. replied.
"You can but it won't be honest." Gibbs replied.
"What do we do then?" Abby B. asked.
"Abigail Savannah Borin will you marry me?" Gibbs asked.
"Is Tony OK with it?" Abby B. asked.
"Yes he is." Gibbs replied.
"Then yes!" Abby B. cried.
"I can't believe this." Gibbs replied.
"Are you OK?" Abby B. asked.
"You just made me the happiness man in the world." Gibbs replied.
"You made me the happiest woman." Abby B. replied.
"And tomorrow Tony may just be the happiest person in the world." Gibbs replied.
"I like that." Abby B. replied.
"So do I." Gibbs replied.
"How does he feel about the twins?" Abby B. replied.
"He is over the moon." Gibbs replied.
"Perfect" Abby B. replied.
"Perfect" Gibbs added.
