Ok things might get a little muddled for a while as I have a new computer that doesn't have word on it. I am going to try and put my version of word on it but if that doesn't work i will have to save up for 2007 which might take a while so I thought I would let you know that the computer that this is uploaded on is not the computer that it is typed on. so for now bare with me as I work out what and how to do things now. Its a learning curve that will take some time to get used to. hopfully we will get back to normal soon. you all know the drill when i get four reviews I will update. This update is from the CSI:NY pics I found today. I know that the things that happen in this chapter might not be real but well hey deal it or don't bother reviewing. for those of you counting chapters.... you know who you are I was feeling nice I'm not up to there yet different computers kinda makes it a little hard.


Sitting behind a small playground for children, Eva DiNozzo had her niece sitting on her lap they were watching as Kate walked up to the counter of the cafe the three of them had been laughing at something well more Kate and eva had been laughing at something and Cassie had just joined in. Being almost two she had been seated in a high chair suplied by the cafe. However when she knocked Eva's drink over Kate had taken her out of the high chair and place her in hher aunts lap as to make sure she wouldn't knock anything eles over. The two of them watched as Kate explained that her daughter had knocked over a drink and could she gt something to clean it up. Till some one had bumped into the back of Eva's chair, Eva having the same temper as her brother turned around to ask who ever it had been why they felt the need to run into a wheel chair but was beaten by an apology

"I'm so sorry I was looking for some one," said a man as he started to walk away Eva frowned for a minute till she recognized his voice she then smiled tilting her head to the side.

"Matt?" she asked Matt turned around and nodded how did this young women know him? He wondered he'd only been here for a very short time and the only person he had spoken to was his brother in law. Shrugging she must have known him some how most people upon meeting him called him Matthew, a thing he hated and always had when he was younger he had, had the idea of just changing his name to Mat but he never got around to it and now well he couldn't be bothered to go through all the paper work.

"Eva Tony's little sister I recognized your voice I would invite you to sit but there is only one clean chair and I think you sister- Eva stopped mid sentence and grinned. Mat knew that look he had seen it on Tony enough times to know that there was something evil plotting away in her mind, if that was good for him or not he didn't know but at the moment it seemed he was safe so he went along with it.

"Here sit," she said pulling out what had been Kate's seat Matt nodded and sat down. Smiling at Cassie not even knowing she was his niece.

"When did you get here?" Eva asked smirking as she saw Kate finially recive a cloth annd start to make her way back to the table a frown creasing her forehead when she saw the back of her brother, although not knowing it was him Eva knew she must have thought it was someone who was trying to hit on her, this was her plan. Of course she could just tell him to turn around and give kate a shock there and then, but that was no the DiNozzo way. Although she might bot have grown up with her brother she remembered some of the lessons he had taught her and one of them was to never let a good prank go to waste. and this was a good prank. Well she thought it was.

"About an hour ago well here as in LA I've been here and in the hospital for about fifteen minutes. Where's Kate?" he asked after answering Eva's question and noticing that her focus seemed to be some where else when he saw the smirk on her face again he knew this time he was in for trouble he just didn't know what.

"Coming," replied Eva

"Excuse me can I help you with anything, maybe send you to a program that stops you from praying on young women," said Kate Matt smirked and realized that Eva hadn't told her big brother or his little sister that he was coming.

"Well yes you can tell me why you and that husband of yours left with out a word from your very important jobs," said Matt turning around Kate's jaw dropped when she saw her brother.

"What the heck are you doing here?" she asked Matt stood up and shook his head.

"Me well I was told by some one you were living out here till some one got better," he said laughing at the shocked look on Eva's face she hadn't expected for him to drop her in it, that was one thing she was going to have to learn about the Todd siblings they always dropped someone in it when they were going to get yelled at. As Kate had so planly put it when she and their brothers were kids. ' if I'm gonna get into trouble you are too.'

"Hey I tried to get them to call but I'm guessing you know that my brother is one stubborn person." Said Eva Matt nodded it was one of the things that made Tony and Kate so good for each other they were both stubborn in ways that no one but each other could handle.

"Any way now you're here I want to introduce you to some one," said Kate placing the cloth on the table and walking around lifting Cassie out of her aunts lap.

"Matt this is Cassie, my daughter your niece Cassie this is your uncle Matt," said Kate Cassie laughed and clapped as Matt stood shocked.

"What? Tony and I are married and we've had success in that area before, yes we lost Grace but that didn't mean we were never going to have kids it just ment I wasn't ready then. You've always said I'd make a good mother why are you looking at me like that?" Kate asked Matt stuttered then bit his lip.

"I –uh I guess I always thought I'd be there when you found out, and when you gave birth I never thought I would find out…Later." He said looking down at his hands Kate rolled her eyes and walked over to her brother.

"Matt I'm sorry that things happened the way they did and I wish you could have been here but you weren't Cassie's only a year old almost two we have the rest of your life and hers for you to get to know her." said Kate Matt sighed and nodded.

"Abby is going to kill you. You know that don't you?" Matt asked Kate nodded knowing that her best friend was going to hurt her in some way shape or form for several different reasons.

"Kate honey Matt's – Oh he found you Kate could I talk to you for a minute?" Tony asked coming over to them Matt looked at his brother in law there was an obvious change in him he could see that. Kate nodded and handed Cassie over to Eva before walking away with Tony.

"I don't want to go back at least not for now I want them to know that we have changed and that we can't go back to the people they want us to be," Kate nodded and smiled at him she had expected as much.

"I know Tony I know you don't want to go back to that person you are no longer the person that left DC we have both changed and I'm sure that if you let Matt see that he'll know and tell them we have changed," said Kate Tony smiled and wrapped his arms around her before leaning in and kissing her softly.

"Fine lets go save Cassie," he said Kate laughed and nodded.


Matt looked up to see Kate and Tony walk back over to them hand in hand he could tell they had both changed and they wouldn't be going back to the people he and their friends knew they had changed in their timeaway from NCIS, he knew they would but he also knew that people like abby would want them to be the people she knew and not who they were nowut that wasn't going to happen he wasn't silly he knew that. He and their friends would just have to get used to Tony and Kate DiNozzo now and not expect the people they knew.

"Well, well Tony and Kate DiNozzo I finally found you," he said Tony nodded coming round to rest a hand on his sisters shoulder. Kate smiled at Matt.

"Tony remember it's my father your mad at not at my brother," said Kate Tony nodded but still said nothing. Kat sighed and shook her head.

"Honey Matt is here to find out if we are ok, you and I both know he is nothing like my father because you and your sister are too alike and she would not get along well with him if he wasn't different." Tony had to give her that he knew she was right. Stepping out from behind Eva he walked over to his brother in law.

"I'm sorry Matt I should not have treated you the way I did, its just your father annoyed the hell out of me back then and I really wanted to prove to him that Kate and I were more then just a passing phase," Matt nodded he understood that he knew his father too well.

"I'm just glad your not mad at me, I know how you get when your mad and I don't ever want to be on the receiving end of that even if I am taller then you," said Matt Tony laughed and shook his head it was the first time Matt had seen a hint of the man he knew since he'd been here.

"So what is it going to take for me to make you come home?" Matt asked Tony looked at Kate who shrugged.
