Signed,
GallopGirl.
Kate groaned as the gently placed her in the ambulanced, though she did not cry. She never cried thought Tony, almost never. She was so strong but it's not always a good thing because being strong all the time means you bottle your fears and hatred…
Tony let his mind wonder through pointless thoughts as he perched on the bed in the ambulance across from Kate. She looked scared, face strained in pain.
"I…I'm scared Tony. I don't want this," She mumbled through gritted teeth.
"Hey" He gave a weak smile, grasping her hand between his.
"You'll be okay, DiNozzo babies always come out fine!" He tried to smirk, but it came out not so charming, missing its spark. He was scared too.
"At the wrong time" She groaned as another wave of contractions came.
"Breath Caitlin, only a few minutes away" A paramedic beside her spoke.

Tony followed on as they rushed Kate into the hospital. They rushed into a room, a doctor tried to stop Tony from going in.
"Immediate family only I'm sorry," She said sternly.
"I'm her… that's my wife…that's my baby" He stuttered in panic. The doctor gave him a sympathetic look.
"Ok, quick, in ya go." She instructed, giving him a little push.
"Go hold her hand"
Kate was moaning in pain, Tony took her hand but she snatched it away.
"This" She gasped "Is all your fault you basted! You did this to me! I don't know why I married you… I hate you!" She snapped between heavy breaths. Tony looked stunned; a nurse gently led him away.
"Don't take what she says whole-heartedly. She's just in a lot of pain and very uncomfortable right now. It happens to 1-3 fathers I reckon" The young nurse said, trying to comfort him. He took a seat in the waiting room and the nurse rushed back.
He couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty for what Kate had said to him. How could he make it up to her… he glanced at the magazines sitting on a table and read a one of the titles.
"101 Best Baby Names For 2004"
He thought for a moment then flicked through the pages.
A few hours later the young nurse came back beaming.
"We're done. Mum and baby are asleep but you can go in if you want"
Tony nodded numbly and followed through the door.
"Congratulations, you have a little baby girl," The nurse whispered, leading him the little cot.
"I'll leave you too it" She finished, leaving the room. Tony peeped down at the tiny sleeping girl, his little sleeping girl. She stirred and began to cry. Tony started to panic, glancing at Kate who was sound asleep. He ran a hand through his hair and looked around the room. No one.
He gave a sigh and puzzled for a moment how to pick up the baby, gently scooping her up. He hadn't had much contact with the screaming, pooping kind of 'babies'. She still cried so he tried to think of what to do now.
"Hush little baby…" He stumbled through the words.
"Don't say a word, daddy's gunna by you a…a teddy bear.
And if that teddy bear… poke you in the eye, daddy will buy you a racing car.
And if you crash that racing car, daddy will buy you a mansion.
And if you burn that mansion down, daddy wont pay the insurance.
And no matter how much you beg, daddy wont pay. No…"
"Tony…" came Kate's soft and tired voice.
"She's asleep. That's a lullaby for her to pass on to her kids" She gave a small smile.
He smirked, laying the baby down. Taking a seat beside Kate he gave her a kiss on the fore head.
"She's beautiful, just like her mummy" He smiled.
"What are we going to call her? I was sure it was a boy… I don't think Antonio will suit her…"
"Antonio, nice name… Andi for short but no, I don't think it'll suit her…"
"But I was thinking about names when err you asked me to leave" He gave a sheepish look and continued before Kate could cut in.
"Christina Caitlin DiNozzo" He said quietly.
"Oh Tony! That's beautiful!" Kate gasped. Looking over at the baby she smiled.
"Hello Christina…"
"Little Tina" Tony added.
Slowly the door creaked open and two heads looked in. Abby disappeared; calling down the hall she had found them. Kitty slinked in.
"Come see your new sister…" Kate encouraged, nodding towards the cot. Kitty peeped in, barley seeing over. The others, Abby, Gibbs, McGee and Ducky crowded into the room, they watched Kitty taking her first look at her new sister.
"What's her name?" The little girl questioned, not looking up.
"Christina" Tony answered. "Tina for short."
"Hello Tina" She said quietly. "I'm your big sister Kitty"
6 weeks later
"This a great area, one of the best school's in the district just down the road, the mall a few blocks away. And just this year, it was named one of the safest suburbs in the city. Perfect for a growing family" The real-estate agent smiled reassuringly.
Tony smiled charmingly back at her. Kate stood beside him, holding Tina in her arms who gurgled away in her baby talk. Kitty was out inspecting the garden.
"As I said, it's a lovely red brick double story, plus underground triple garage and attic which can be converted into a room with a bit of work.
Four rooms, a study which can be converted into bedroom, two guest bedrooms, an open plan, modern kitchen and dining area. Lounge room down stairs and up stairs. On bedroom is set up as a girls nursery, the last family had a little girl too. It's set up with walk in robe, it's own baby proof bathroom, safety locked French windows opening out into an enclosed balcony. Extremely baby safe with netting anti-clime cast-iron bars and an extra 30 cm higher than normal. No gabs" She smiled, sucking in a deep breath.
"The other two bedrooms are large bed rooms, the master bed room is massive!" She exclaimed, dropping her sales pitch voice for a second.
"Way bigger than mine and I thought mine was big" She added, going a little red as Tony and Kate glanced at each other.
"Anyways, it has a double extend walk in robe, spacious adjoining bathroom. The two guest rooms are rather big too and located down stairs along with a smaller bathroom. The studies and the four other bedrooms are located up stairs. The house has an unusually large backyard, half an acre with ¼ of an acre for the front yard. It's an amazing piece of architecture and is only $950,000+"
Kate almost choked, Tony shocked.
"They want $950,000?" He questioned. Kate gave a disappointed look. She liked the sound of the house and dreamed of her children going to a fine school like St Arbraell College, they could never of sent them there though…
But to Kate's surprise Tony grinned.
"Their really giving it away aren't they! We'll take it" He finished. Kate gave Tony's arm a sharp tug and as the real estate agent phoned in to finalized.
"What are you thinking" Kate hissed angrily. "We can't afford this!"
Tony glanced at her. "I'll tell you later" he mouthed.
-
Kate eyed Tony as they drove away.
"Well?"
Tony nervously glanced at her. "It's a wedding present from my father…" He said quietly.
Kate gasped, "We can't except this!"
"No Kate!" He snapped. She was taken back a bit.
"You don't understand," He said quietly, looking straight a head.
"After my mother died when I was ten, he never gave me anything. He refused to look at me or touch me. He sent me to one of the best boarding schools in the state, which happen to be 3 days away, just so he didn't have to deal with me. I looked too much like my mother." He finished quietly.
"They tell me I have her spark"
"Oh Tony… I bet you do… nether of our fathers are any good" She sighed, thinking of her own. He refused to come because she wasn't marring a rich, smart American catholic. She was marring a smart-ass Italian.
"If it means so much to you, I guess it's ok" She finished as the continued to drive silently on. The arrived at Kate's apartment, Tony already have sold his. Kate had several buyers for hers. It was dark now, they had stopped for a silent dinner at Macca's, so Tony carried Kitty to bed, Kate gave a sleepy Tina her last feed for the night and laid her down. Kate walked through the hallway; she was going to miss this place. Everything had happened so fast, too fast she worried. Some nights as she lay beside Tony, she wondered if she did love him. Had they married for the wrong reasons…
She walked into the dimly lit lounge, finding Tony sitting there, staring out to space. She gave a small smile taking a seat beside him. He stroked her face and she closed her eyes, moving towards his touch. He gently kissed her, leading her till she lay on top of him. He pulled away, hands wrapped around her waist.
"I love you Kate," He whispered.
Kate's heart skipped a beat and she thought about the words, staring into his soulful eyes. A warm feeling filled her, she was sure.
"I love you too" She grinned, kissing him again.
Well that was the last chapter and therefore the end of Special Agent Kitty. But don't worry, I have plans for the next story :D However, if you think this story line is getting a bit old (movies usually never make it past the third/fourth) PLEEEASE tell me cause I don't want to waste my time.
The idea is called Desperate Housewife.
It will be about how Kate deals with home life, being on meternity leave from work. Gibbs will bring in a fill in for Kate, a blond 20-something and Kate will be suss. Also may add another 'little' twist. Tell me what you think and THANKS SOOOO MUCH for reading so far, espcially thoughs who have read my stories from the beggining!
Forever faithfull to the TATE cause,
