"We're having a baby!" Her voice rang in his head, setting off alarm bells.

Had he heard her right? Lying on the floor he looked up at her. She glared at him, eyes filled with hate. He was hurt and confused, his heart pounded trying to process this all. Thankfully her eyes softened. Gibbs was the first to speak. He walked over to Tony, helping him up.

"I'll leave you guys to sort this out, we start at 6" he said, really to no one. No one was listening. He quietly closed the door behind him.

Tony shifted uncomfortably, not really knowing what to say, feeling under pressure as Kate watched him.

She wondered what he was thinking, if he was as afraid as she was. She rolled her eye. He was properly thinking he was suck with her now.

"What?" He asked. He had been watching her as she rolled her eyes.

This took her by surprise a bit, but she was still filled with hate towards Tony.

"Was just thinking how you're thinking "Oh great! Now I'm stuck with HER!"" She snapped. She was sorry she said it when Tony's face dropped to a new all time low.

"Kate, I can't understand how you could think that. I know, I know I flirted with Amber or whatever her name is but you have to understand that's just who I am. I'm a flirt and I can't help it the women are attracted me" He said with a hint of a smile.

"Oh, everything is just a joke to you. Don't you get it I'm pregnant. We're having a BABY DiNozzo!"

He cringed. She only used his last name when she was really pissed at him.

"Look, I'm sorry…"

Kate was about to cut him off again but he walked over to her. He held her gentle but firm, looking into her eyes.

"I'm sorry I flirted with Amber, I'm sorry I made you upset but I'm not sorry we are having a baby. I couldn't think of a better girl to be with…" he said the last bit softly, the words running though his own mind.

Kate looked it his eyes, starting to tear up. "You mean it?"

"I do…" He answered solemnly. He kissed her but she soon pulled away.

"I can't be a mother… my apartment isn't big enough and yours isn't, umm, baby proof. We don't have any thing… I should properly get a proper test with a doctor to make sure it's right" She rambled. Tony put his finger to her lips.

"We'll buy a new house, in a nice neighborhood with good schools. We can see a doctor when we get back and Kate…" He said once again looking into her beautiful eyes, shining like diamonds from the tears.

"You will make a wonderful mother," He said. Then slowly returning to his old self he added, hanging an arm around her shoulder.

"And image the kids. They'll be smart and good-looking. A bit of both of us" He smirked.

"Kids?" She questioned shocked, but slowly grew to the idea. Then she gave him a nudge for insulting her looks.

It was 6:30am and the three sat at the diner. Kate had been sick again this morning, but this time she didn't have to hide it. Tony had helped her, quickly flicking on the bedside lamp so she could find her way to the toilet.

Kate attempted to eat some fruit, drinking orange juice due to the whisper Gibbs is sure he heard Kate say to Tony while in the queue.

"I don't want him or her turning into a Gibbs or Abby," She said, thinking Gibbs couldn't hear her. He had just smiled.

Now he watched them silently, joking around and happy again.

Never did he think these two of all people would get together. They were so different, always arguing and making fun of each other. He pondered on the thought, thinking of his own three failed marriages and wondered if that's what he was missing. He had always been looking for someone like him. Him? Why was he looking for someone like himself? He knew he was a coldhearted asshole most of the time, so he was finding the same in women. Maybe he needed to find someone different…

"Gibbs?" Kate's questioning voice cutting through his thoughts.

"Nothing Agent Todd. Lets get going…"

-

Margaret paced in her house, her little sister Kitty watching from the sofa.

"What you doing Margie?" Questioned the little 6 year old.

"Nothing!" She snapped. "I told you NOT to call me that you little bitch."

Kitty whimpered. "Sorry Margaret" She said quietly.

Margaret knew that they were coming back and she knew they'd find out her secret. She needed a plan. She remembered that cute, younger guy, what was his name… Tony!

"Yes…" She thought. "I can lure Tony out by himself, hold him for ransom. That they destroy EVERYTHING from the case connecting her to the murder or I'll kill him, very slowly and painfully" She said with a wicked grin.

She took Kitty to the basement, she screamed and kicked. Margaret hit her hard across the head, knocking the little girl out. She dragged her by the arm and threw her in a cupboard, locking the door. She walked back up smiling, locking the basement door behind her. She went into her bathroom, cleaning the blood of her hand and changing her cloths. Something sexy and attractive, she'd get him.

-

They pulled up to the house. Tony jumped out as soon as they had stopped and open the door for Kate.

"I'm pregnant Tony, not a cripple." She sighed and smiled, tacking his hand.

The three walked up the walkway. The house would have once been a grand family home but now the gutters were rusted through, the veranda sagged and in the over grown garden a rusted swing creaked. Kate imagined a house like this, only well kept for her own child. She knocked on the door and stood back next to Tony. Margaret open the door, smiling directly at Tony then gave the others a less dazzling smile. It made Kate's heart stop. There was Margaret, dressed in a mini-skirt with the thong showing, a white tube top and knee high boots, smiling and flirting with Tony. She glanced at Tony but found him already looking at her, giving her a reassuring smile.

Margaret invited them in, taking then to the kitchen. Taking a set, she made sure she was next to Tony on the U-shaped formation they had made at the table. The other female cop was on the other side and the old dude beside her. The woman kept shooting her dirty looks and strangely Tony, who had been all over her pretty much the other day, had been avoiding looking at her. He kept looking at Agent Todd. Something was up.

"We're here because something else has popped up, Officer Derrick Louise isn't your real farther…" Gibbs said, more a fact than a question.

She nodded "I was adopted when I was three."

She watched Agent Todd. She had a glow about her and Tony was always watching her with a giddy look about him. Something that was familiar.

"You also have a adopted sister, um Kitty?" He questioned.

"Yeah, Derrick and Rhiannon adopted her 6 years ago as a new born, when I was 14. Kitty was Derrick's kid from an affair, mother died at birth," She said quietly.

"But Rhiannon forgave him and adopted Kitty as her own." She added, with a slight smile. She had worked it out now. When she had said Kitty's mother had died at birth Agent Todd went pale and wide-eyed. She was pregnant.

"Kate, are you ok?" Questioned Tony quickly. Kate just nodded and Margaret had a new plan of attack.

"Where is Kitty?" Gibbs went on.

"In the basement. She hate men, Derrick used to abuse her. I might ask if I can have Agent Todd's help and if you can wait out side. She wont come out otherwise." She said desperately.

"I've been trying ever since Rhiannon got taken away."

Gibbs nodded, not thinking twice about it but Tony was a little more suss as was Kate, but they did so anyways. Tony and Gibbs went outside and Margaret led Kate to the basement. Kate felt a little uneasy as she unlocked the door.

"You keep it locked?" She asked.

She nodded "In case she tries to sneak out at night."

Together they walked down the stairs into darkness. Kate looked around and could barley see anything. Suddenly something caught her neck. She grabbed it, the rope and went to scream but was thrown into a wall, into darkness.
