McGee and Ducky exchanged nervous glances. Today was their first full day taking care of Tony. The previous night had gone much smoother than the night they looked over Tony after Jack died. Of course that was just the first night and Tony was still so excited about the wedding. His temporary caretakers doubted he even really noticed that Gibbs and Abby B. were gone. Today the real work would begin. Today it was really going to hit Tony that his parents had left him even if it was just for a few days. A few days to them was years in Tony time.

"You think he'll do OK?" McGee asked.

"I hope so Timothy." Ducky replied.

"Do you think he'll understand why they are gone?" McGee asked.

"Both Jethro and Abigail Borin explained it to him but it is hard to tell if he truly understood or not." Ducky explained.

"Do you think that we can do this?" McGee asked.

"You know how protective Jethro is of Anthony. He would not have asked us if he did not have faith in us." Ducky assured.

"What if something happens?" McGee asked.

"Nothing will happen but if it does we will have to contact Jethro ASAP." Ducky explained.

"How much longer until we wake him up?" McGee asked.

"Well Jethro likes to wake him up around nine on weekends. So we have another half hour." Ducky replied.

"I will set the alarm on my phone so that we don't forget." McGee replied.

"Excellent idea Timothy." Ducky replied.

"You slept in Gibbs's room last night did Tony do OK?" McGee asked.

"He had a bad bed-wetting accident around three but I got him cleaned up and back to bed fairly quickly." Ducky explained.

"Poor Tony." McGee sighed.

"He cried a little about Jethro not helping him but he was so exhausted I don't know if he even really noticed." Ducky explained.

"Do you have any plans for him today?" McGee asked.

"Other than going to Mama Cecelia's for dinner not really." Ducky replied.

"Tony will like that." McGee replied.

"Is there anything that you would like to do?" Ducky asked.

"I thought it might be fun to take him to the park." McGee commented.

"That is a splendid idea. Anthony will love that." Ducky replied.


It was almost five o'clock at night in Paris. Gibbs and Abby B. were back in their hotel room getting ready for dinner. Gibbs was sitting on the bed watching the news. With English subtitles on since he hadn't used his French much since leaving Paris with Jenny. Abby B. was in the bathroom doing her make-up and hair. Personally Gibbs didn't understand why she was so worried about her appearance. In his opinion she looked just fine without make-up with her messy hair and regular clothes.

"What do you think?" Abby B. asked exiting the bathroom.

"You look lovely as always." Gibbs replied.

"Thank you. Are you almost ready to go?" Abby B. asked.

"Almost would it be OK if I called Tony real quick before we go?" Gibbs asked.

"It is only nine in the morning in DC." Abby B. replied.

"I know but McGee and Ducky should be waking him up now." Gibbs replied.

"Yes but it may confuse and upset him if you call him when he first wakes up. How about you wait a few hours?" Abby B. asked.

"Boy that sounds familiar." Gibbs scoffed.

"What do you mean?" Abby B. questioned.

"Last night! First we had just gotten here! Then it was too late here! Then it was too late there! You would like it if I never called him wouldn't you?!" Gibbs demanded.

"I want you to call him Jethro just not right now. You can call after dinner. I promise." Abby B. replied.

"Oh yeah right!" Gibbs yelled.

"Jethro please calm down." Abby B. begged.

"I am going to call Tony and you can't stop me!" Gibbs yelled storming out of the room.


McGee parked his hybrid outside of Mama Cecelia's. Ducky climbed out of the passenger seat and helped Tony out of the backseat. He carefully slid his hand into Tony's hand and led the younger man inside. McGee locked the car and then followed close behind. Once inside Ducky instructed Tony to sit down on the bench and wait. While he got everybody a table and quietly explained Tony's situation to the greeter. After a brief wait the group was led to a booth in the back corner. Ducky and McGee sat on one side allowing Tony to have the other bench to himself. The waiter discreetly brought Tony a coloring page and box of crayons. When he came to take their drink orders. Tony set the paper and crayons aside and then rested his head on the table.

"I will have non iced tea." Ducky requested.

"Diet Pepsi" McGee replied.

"What about you sir?" The waiter asked Tony.

"I don't want anything." Tony mumbled.

"Are you sure?" The waiter asked.

"Yes! Now go away!" Tony warned.

"Anthony that was rude apologize." Ducky hissed.

"I'm sorry." Tony replied.

"It's alright I will bring you a water." The waiter replied.

"Anthony I know that you miss Jethro but that was uncalled for."

"It's not cause I miss Gibbs. It's cause I feel sick." Tony replied.


Gibbs looked at his watch. He could not believe that it was already midnight. This was such a romantic time in the most romantic city on earth and he was alone. All because he pissed off his wife. They had been married one day and he had already screwed up. He couldn't go through a fourth divorce. It wouldn't be fair to Tony and the babies if this marriage dissolved. He ran back into the hotel and up the stairs towards their room. He slipped the key-card in the door and swung it open. He found Abby B. sitting up on the bed massaging her stomach/

"Abby I am so sorry!" Gibbs cried.

"Jethro" Abby B. sobbed.

"What's wrong?" Gibbs asked.

"Dr. Mallard called." Abby B. replied.

"Oh no do we need to get home to Tony?" Gibbs asked.

"No at least not now but McGee and him had to take Tony to the ER." Abby B. explained.

"What's wrong with him?" Gibbs questioned.

"It's just a bad case of the flu but they want to monitor him because of his lungs." Abby B. explained.

"Is he in the hospital? I need to get to him if he is in the hospital." Gibbs cried.

"No he is home under the care of Ducky and Jimmy with Dr. Pitt on speed dial. If you want to go back we can but Ducky also said that Tony insists that we stay." Abby B. explained.

"We will stay for now but if he is admitted to the hospital we have to rush home right away." Gibbs replied.


A/N: I know that realistically Gibbs would rush home if Tony was sick but I wanted him and Abby B. to enjoy their honeymoon. At least for a couple of days. Please review and thanks for reading.

A/N 2: Just a reminder chapter sixty-two will be the final chapter of this story. So after this there are only ten chapters remaining.
