An EMT unit arrived and took Charity and A.J. to the hospital. Tony rode in the ambulance with them and Gibbs followed behind in his car, Abby riding shotgun. When they arrived at the hospital, they were brought to a room and examined carefully by the on duty doctor. The nurses took A.J. and finished cleaning him up and gave him some shots.
While the nurses were taking care of A.J, Tony and Charity ate lunch. Gibbs and Abby sat in the room visiting with them. "How you feeling baby girl?" Gibbs asked.
"Sore." She answered. "Tired."
"So, DiNozzo, how did it feel to deliver your own son?" Gibbs asked.
"Pretty amazing, actually." Tony answered with a smile. "A little scary, but still amazing."
Charity looked over at Tony. "So what was the most scary part about it?" She asked.
"You want the honest truth?" He asked.
"Yes." She answered.
"You." He answered and then covered his face and the back of his head.
Charity surprised Tony by laughing.
Tony looked at her confused. "Why are you laughing?"
"I have to admit, I probably waas pretty scary." She replied. "But it was all the pain talking."
Before anyone else could say anything, the nurse returned with A.J. "Somebody misses his mommy." The nurse said, as she handed him over to Charity.
Charity held A.J. and and gazed at him lovingly. She kissed his little forehead. Then she looked up at Tony. "I think we made the most adorable little baby in the world."
"I think so, too." Tony said as he looked at their son. "He has no hair. He's little queball." Tony said.
Gibbs looked at Tony. "He gets that from Charity. She was bald until she was two."
Tony looked at Charity's thick head full of hair. "I find that hard to believe."
"No, he's telling the truth. I didn't even have peach fuzz. I was so bald that even in a pink frilly lacey dress, they thought that I was a boy." Charity told him.
Tony couldn't help, but laugh. "He's still perfect."
Charity grinned. "I think his lack of hair makes him even cuter." Abby said, putting in her two cents.
Gibbs stood up and walked over to his daughter, "Can Grandpa see his little buddy?"
Charity grinned up at her father. "Of course." Charity handed A.J. over to her dad.
Gibbs looked at the baby boy in his arms. A huge grin spread across his face. "You're gonna be Grandpa's buddy aren't you?" Gibbs spoke to A.J. Then he turned to Charity. "He's wonderful." Then he turned to Tony. "Good work, Tony."
Tony smiled. "Thanks boss."
"Okay, when does Aunt Abby get her turn?" Abby said, hardly able to contain her excitement.
Gibbs passed A.J. over to Abby. Abby held A.J. and looked at him with a smile on her face. "He is just adorable."
Gibbs and Abby visited for a little while longer and then headed back to NCIS to let Charity get some rest. Tony held A.J. He looked down at his son.
"It's hard to believe we created him, isn't it?" Charity said, as she watched Tony with A.J.
Tony looked up at her. "Yeah, it is." He said. "It's amazing to think about."
Charity grinned. "The best part of each of us."
Back at NCIS...
Gibbs and Abby returned to NCIS. They had to take the stairs because the elevator was closed for cleaning. "How're Charity and the baby?" McGee asked.
"They're doing just fine." Gibbs answered. "The doctors have given them both a clean bill of health."
"That's good."
The team worked on their paperwork in silence. Gibbs was lost in thought about his daughter and new grandson. He kept thinking about all of the things he was going to teach A.J.
"What is wrong with your elevator?" came a familiar voice.
The team looked up from their desks to see Anthony DiNozzo Senior.
He looked around at them, confused. Then he saw Ziva. "Ah, always a pleasure to see your beautiful face." He greeted her.
Ziva laughed playfully. "It is always a pleasure to see you." She greeted.
Tony Sr. took Ziva;s hand in his and placed a kiss on it. Then he looked around. "So, where's Junior?"
"He's at the hospital." Gibbs answered, not looking up from his paperwork.
"What's he doing there?" DiNozzo Sr. replied.
"I'll take you to him." Gibbs answered as he stood up. He headed for the stairs.
Senior followed him."Are you going to tell me what's going on?" He asked as they slid inside Gibbs' car.
Gibbs started the car and drove to the hospital. "Your son has been trying to reach you for the last few months." Gibbs told him.
Senior looked at Gibbs. "He's been sick?"
Gibbs didn't answer. They arrived at the hospital. Senior was starting to get worried. They hopped on the elevator and rode up to the maternity floor. When they stepped off the elevator and started walking down the hall, Senior looked at the signs. "What are we doing on the maternity floor, Gibbs?" Senior asked.
Gibbs stopped at the end of a hall. He pointed to a window that allowed to see them in the room. "You and I are grandparents." Gibbs answered.
Senior looked in the window and saw his son holding a little blue bundle and talking to a young red-haired woman lying in the hospital bed. They were both smiling and looked like they were the happiest people in the world. "Wait, what do you mean you and I are grandparents?"
"That beautiful redhead in the bed that happens to be the mother of that baby boy Tony is holding, is my daughter." Gibbs answered.
"My son and your daughter?" Senior asked.
"Yup." Gibbs answered.
Senior stared in the window for a few more moments. Then he started walking towards the room. He knocked on the open door as he walked in the room.
Tony looked up. "Dad?"
"Hey, Junior." Senior greeted him.
"I've been trying to get ahold of you for the last few months." Tony said. "How did..."
"Gibbs brought me." Senior answered. "He also told me we share a grandson."
"Yeah." Tony said. "Dad, this is Charity, my fiance. Charity, this is my dad, Anthony DiNozzo Senior."
Senior offered his hand to Charity. "It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to finally meet you." Charity said with a smile.
"Dad, this is your grandson, A.J." Tony said as he walked over to his father, holding his own son.
"Another Anthony Junior?" Senior asked.
Tony laughed. "No, Charity wasn' having any of that. His name is Aiden James DiNozzo."
Charity glared playfully at Tony. Then she looked at her future father-in-law. "Would you like to hold A.J.?" She asked.
"Yeah." Senior said.
Tony passed A.J. over to Senior.
Senior looked down at the baby in his arms. "Where's his hair? All DiNozzo men are born with a great head of hair."
"He gets that from me." Charity said. "I was a bald baby."
After a few more moments, A.J. started to cry. A.J. started making little faces like he was trying to suck on something. "
"He's hungry." Charity said. She opened her arms expectantly.
Senior handed the baby over. Charity took her son in her arms and then looked at Tony, "Why don't you and your dad go get some coffee or something while I feed A.J."
"Okay." Tony said. He leaned over and kissed the top of hariy's head. Then he placed a kiss on his son's forehead. "Daddy, will be right back." Then he and his father both left the room. Tony closed the door and the blindes on his way out to give Charity some privacy.
