TJ had become one hell of a lawyer in the following month. Of course he learned from the best. He was now working right along side his dad and Uncle Benny. His love for law came from watching Benny argue cases in court all those years growing up. If it hadn't been for Benny he would have been a psychologist just like Jason.

Tonya was on maternity leave. Chris was busy working and Tonya was nervous about going into labor alone. Marissa and Jason talked their daughter into coming up to New York to stay with them until after the baby was born. So that she wasn't left out, Deanna got to go with her momma to New York.

"Are you sure you don't want to have the baby here in D.C.?" Chris asked his wife.

"Everything will be fine sweetheart. Little man isn't due for another couple weeks. Mom and dad just want make sure I am ok until he comes." Tonya said.

"Mommy when are we going to Papa J?" Deanna asked running down the hallway.

"We are flying up there tonight Dee." Tonya explained.

Chris wasn't ready to let his wife fly to New York. His biggest fear was to be out on a case when she went into labor and wouldn't be able to get to her in time.

Before Chris let his wife go through the gate to her flight, he wanted to take in her beauty one more time.

"I love you Tonya DiNozzo." Chris said leaning in to kiss her.

"I love you Christopher Matthews." Tonya responded as she gave into his kiss.

Chris placed his hands on her big belly.

"I can't wait to meet our son." Chris said before giving her belly a kiss.

"Come on mommy lets go!" Dee said pulling Tonya toward the gate.

"Daddy loves you Dee." Chris told his daughter.

Deanna ran into her daddy's arms and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"love you daddy." Dee said.

"I will call you when we get there." Tonya told him before walking away.

Deanna fell asleep on the flight to New York. Tonya had a sharp pain go through her body. She rubbed her stomach hoping that the pain would go away. The surge got worse as the flight went on. She just wanted the plane to land and tell her parents what was going on. As they got closer to New York, a pain went like lightening through her back before stabbing into the lower part of her abdomen. It was a few weeks early but she feared she was in labor. When she was pregnant with Deanna, her water broke before she went into labor. As the plane went to land the pain eased a bit. She tried to wake Deanna up. The young child rubbed her little eyes.

"Are we at Papa J's?" Dee asked.

"Yes we are there. Nana Rissa is supposed to be picking us up." Tonya explained.

Marissa stood in the airport and waited for her daughter and granddaughter. She noticed them coming through the gate.

"Nana!" Dee screamed when she seen Marissa.

"Hey baby girl!" Marissa said picking Dee up.

Marissa seen her daughter dragging behind. She saw something different about her daughter. She was waddling more than normal. She was holding a hand to her back and walked slower. The biggest tale tale sign was when Marissa looked at Tonya's belly. It was a lot lower then the last time she saw her. Marissa wondered if Tonya was in early labor.

"How are you feeling?" Marissa asked when Tonya met up with her mom and daughter.

"Just a little tired. Little man is kicking my butt." Tonya responded.

"Benny, TJ and your dad are in court today. The jury selection starts in about 30 minutes. Would you like to go over to TAC or would you like to go to the house?" Marissa asked.

As much as going home and laying down and getting these contractions to stop, she couldn't stay away from TAC.

"Let's head on over to TAC. You know jury selection is my favorite part." Tonya smiled slightly.

With every few minutes, it seemed as the contractions were getting harder and closer together. Tonya believed it was false labor.

"Ok lets get this started. Marissa are you with me?" Jason asked after putting his earpiece in.

"Sure am. Just walked in with Tonya and Dee." Marissa said responding to Jason in his ear.

"Hi dad." Tonya said into his earpiece.

"Hey baby girl." Jason said.

The jury selection was going along just well. That was until Jason wished he had pulled out his earpiece. He heard Cable screaming and Chunk yelling Oh my gosh call 911!

"Marissa? Marissa! Talk to me! What the hell is going on it there?" Jason said a bit worried.

"Uh Jason, you need to ask for a recess. Looks like we are about to have another grandbaby on our hands. Tonya's water just broke." Marissa panicked. She had never been around anyone when there water broke. Jason and Marissa flew down after Dee was born but this was a whole new experience, especially since she never had to do this herself.

"Mom, you have to call Chris! He has to be here for the birth." Tonya insisted.


Chris was sitting at his desk and was staring at Tonya's desk. He missed his wife more than words could express. His phone rang breaking his daze. He looked and seen it was Jason Bull.

"Jason, did they make it? I haven't heard from Tonya." Chris worried.

"Son, we need you get up here to New York. Tonya has went into labor." Jason said in a cab on the way to the hospital himself.

"Ok let me tell Gibbs and I will be on my way. Please tell Tonya I will be there soon." Chris hung up the phone. He couldn't believe it. His son was on his way and he was all the way down in D.C.

"Grab your gear." Gibbs told his team.

"Actually boss, I need to get to New York. Tonya's in labor." Chris said panicking.

"Go take care of your family Matthews, we will be up there after this case." Gibbs said.

Chris went running out to catch the next flight to New York.


Tonya's labor was progressing a lot faster than it did when she had Dee.

"Where is Christopher?" Tonya screamed out in pain during her contraction.

"He's on his way sweetheart." Marissa assured her as she wiped her daughters forehead.

Jason held his granddaughter as she slept in his arms. He couldn't believe that his grandson was on his way. A little over an hour after Marissa called, Chris came running into the NYU labor and delivery unit.

"Did I miss it?" Chris panicked.

"They haven't come out and said she's had him yet." Jason answered.

A nurse came out and took Chris to Tonya's room. He was so close to missing the birth of his son. She had already started pushing. Tonya had no idea that this delivery would go so much faster than Dee's.

Within 15 minutes Marissa texted Jason to come on back.

"Dee, are you ready to go meet your baby brother?" Jason said waking his granddaughter.

"Baby brother!" Dee squealed.

Carrying Dee in his arms they walked into his daughters room. "How you feeling baby girl?" Jason asked.

"A lot better now." Tonya admitted.

Dee squirmed out of Jason's off and ran over to her mothers hospital bed.

"Dee, meet your new baby brother." Chris smiled.

"What's his name?" Dee questioned.

"Jason Anthony Matthews." Tonya smiled.

Jason couldn't help but smile. The little guy was 20 inches long and weighed 9 lbs. Poor Tonya, Jason thought. She had to be a DiNozzo with Bull traits to deliver that little guy.

"Would you like to hold him dad?" Tonya asked.

Jason moved to take the baby from his daughter. He took little Jason and looked down at him.

"Well hello" Jason smiled "You guys did good."

"Mom, dad. We want to asked you something. Chris and I had been wanting to talk to you about." Tonya scooted up in the bed. "Since we are both Special Agents and put our lives on the line everyday, please promise us that if something ever happens to the both of us, please raise our babies."

Marissa and Jason looked at each other. That's how they got TJ and Tonya to begin with after their mom and dad was killed.

"Of course sweetheart. Your babies need you guys. But if something ever was to happen…" Marissa answered not wanting to think about it.

"We would be honored to raise them. And we will always be here for you guys." Jason chimed in as he looked down to his new grandson who he had rocked to sleep. He hoped and prayed that the vicious cycle didn't treat little Dee and Jason like it did their mother and Uncle TJ.

Thank you so much for reading! There will be a spin off to this story dealing more with TJ and Tonya.
