Gibbs and Abby B. sat together at the table. It was still too early to wake Tony up. The ultrasound lay in front of them on table. They still could not believe that they were having twins and getting married. They were doing everything backwards but they didn't care. They were just so happy to be together. They were already madly in love with their babies. They realized that they would have to move to a larger house eventually. When they were first-born and younger the twins could share a room but eventually they would need privacy. Especially if the twins turned out to be a boy and a girl. Gibbs picked up the picture and held it in his hands.
"They're so perfect." Gibbs whispered.
"I know." Abby B. replied.
"Thank you so much." Gibbs replied.
"Hey you are half responsible for them." Abby B. replied.
"Yes but you are the one carrying them for us." Gibbs replied.
"Well then you're welcome." Abby B. replied.
"I can't wait to meet them," Gibbs replied.
"I know but I don't want to meet them too soon. Not until you are ready." Abby B. told her stomach.
"Exactly your brother Tony gives us enough scares for ten kids." Gibbs replied.
"Yes he does." Abby B. replied.
"Well I should get Tony up." Gibbs commented.
"I will join you." Abby B. replied.
"Tony will like that." Gibbs replied.
Once Gibbs had dropped Tony off at daycare he made his way to the office. He held his copy of the sonogram in his hand. Hoping that he could just sneak it in among the other pictures that were placed on his desk. He wanted so badly to tell everybody that he was going to be a daddy again but he had promised Abby B. that they would wait until the second trimester. He understood her fear of a miscarriage and having to face everybody after one all too well. Nobody but his dad, Mike, and a few others. Knew this but Shannon had suffered a miscarriage when Kelly was seven. Less than a year before he lost his girls.
"Morning Boss." McGee greeted.
"Morning" Bishop called.
"Good morning." Gibbs replied.
"How did Abby B's appointment go yesterday?" McGee asked.
"It went well everything is fine." Gibbs assured.
"Great" Bishop replied.
"Jasper called in sick just before you arrived." McGee replied.
"So it's just the three of us?" Gibbs asked.
"Yep" McGee replied.
"Is Palmer in today?" Gibbs asked,
"I don't know." McGee replied.
After lunch Gibbs made his way down to autopsy. With any luck Palmer would be in and tell them that baby Donald was improving. It was bad enough when one or two parents lost a child but three that would just be cruel. Especially under the circumstance of adoption. The birth mother would carry the guilt of her accident costing the parents a child and Jimmy and Breena the pain of going home empty-handed.
"Ah Jethro I am surprised to see you." Ducky greeted.
"Good afternoon Duck." Gibbs replied.
"It is excellent to see you though." Ducky replied.
"How is Donald doing?" Gibbs asked.
"Better than yesterday but he is still not out of the woods." Ducky explained.
"He still running a fever?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes but it has gone down significantly." Ducky explained.
"Good" Gibbs replied.
"How is Abigail Borin?" Ducky asked.
"Good her appointment went great." Gibbs replied.
"So everything is OK with her and the baby?" Ducky asked.
"Yeah wait how did you know?" Gibbs asked.
"She was throwing up the whole time Anthony was in the hospital and yet you still allowed her in the room with him. Also Anthony let it slip to Ziva and she brought it up to me. In her defense she just
assumed that I knew about it." Ducky explained.
"Well everything is fine." Gibbs assured.
"You aren't mad at Anthony are you?" Ducky asked.
"No I knew that he would spill the beans eventually." Gibbs explained.
Gibbs and his team caught a case at the end of the day. So Abby B. ended up having to collect Tony from daycare. Just like always regardless of the case. Gibbs would come home as soon as he could but he was still on the road when Tony's daycare dismissed. Abby B. parked her car in the spot Gibbs had parked in the day before and made her way into the building. She found Tony sitting on the bench playing "Patty Cake" with another client.
"Tony!" Abby B. called.
"Abby B!" Tony cried running up to her.
"How was your day?" Abby B. asked.
"It was good. Is Gibbs OK?" Tony asked.
"He is fine but he was in the middle of a crime scene. He will be home soon." Abby B. explained.
"OK" Tony replied.
"Are you ready to go home?" Abby B. asked.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Tony cried.
"Great" Abby B. replied.
It was nearly eight o'clock before Gibbs finally got home. Abby B. had ordered a pizza for herself and Tony and put in a Mighty Mouse DVD she had tracked down online. Tony had started to drift off in her arms but when the door opened. He jumped up and flew into his bosses arms.
"Boss I missed ya!" Tony cried.
"I missed you too Tony." Gibbs replied.
"Glad your safe." Tony replied.
"Me too." Abby B. added.
"Was he good for you?" Gibbs asked.
"He was an angel." Abby B. assured.
"Perfect" Gibbs replied.
"We're watching Mighty Mouse!" Tony cried.
"Really may I join you?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah!" Tony cried.
"Of course." Abby B. replied.
That night after Tony had gone to bed. Gibbs and Abby B. were sitting on the couch. They had taken Tony's DVD out and had replaced it with some sappy romance movie. It wasn't supposed to be a comedy but the plot was so ridiculous. They ended up laughing through the whole thing. The movie ended around midnight. The TV just happened to be on ZNN and their just happened to be an interview with Anthony Dominic DiNozzo Senior. What happened next made Gibbs's blood boil.
"Mr. DiNozzo I understand that your son is a federal agent?" The reporter asked.
"Yes but he was attacked with a baseball bat on the job." Senior replied.
"Oh dear is he OK?" The reporter asked.
"No I'm afraid that he died eleven days later." Senior replied.
"Oh I am so sorry." The reporter replied.
"He is not dead! You just abandoned him!" Gibbs barked.
"Who would lie about something like that?" Abby B. asked.
"Why'd my dad say that I'm dead?" Tony asked.
A/N: Like I said Senior isn't a good guy. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
