CHAPT 2

DINOZZO RESIDENCE

Tony stepped into the house him and Abby bought a week before they were married. It was their home. Tony walked through the living room and into the adjoining bedroom where they had put Sierra's crib and now princess bed. Kate Todd was sitting next to the little girls bed just watching her sleep. "She been good?" Tony asked.

Kate looked at him and smiled. "A perfect angel. She asked where Mommy was." Kate said.

Tony nodded. "I'll tell her tomorrow." Tony said looking at his baby girl. Sierra had hazel eyes and golden brown hair. She had Abby's spunk and Tony's attitude. A perfect match for them.

Kate smiled. "Any change?" Kate asked.

Tony shook his head. "No. Ducky and Gibbs just about shooed me out." Tony said walking over to Sierra's bed. He leaned down and nuzzled her head before he kissed her and walked out with Kate.

Once out in the living room Kate turned to him. "You want something to eat?" She asked.

Tony shook his head. "Go home to Gerald. I'll be fine." Tony said.

Kate looked down. "Ok. Call me if you need me. And I mean anything." Kate said.

Tony smirked. "Will do." Tony said walking her to the door.

When she turned to him Tony smiled. "Tony she will wake up." Kate said.

Tony nodded. "I know. Thank you for staying with our girl." Tony said.

Kate smiled. "She's like a daughter to me. It was my pleasure." Kate said. Kate turned and walked out to her car leaving Tony standing in the doorway. Tony turned and went back inside and flopped on the couch. He smiled at the image of when him and Abby thought they were keeping their relationship a secret.

5 YEARS AGO

Tony and Abby had went on a date the previous Friday night. Dinner and a movie. Tony didn't want to tell their co workers they were dating. Abby didn't mind. As she put it. "It's our little secret." Tony smirked at the thought which caused Kate to look at him. "What are you doing Dinozzo?" Kate asked cautiously. Tony smiled his innocent smile. "Thinking of my date last night Kate. Why what are you doing. Thinking of me?" Tony asked. Kate rolled her eyes. "No." Kate said. Tony smirked and looked back to his computer when he seen an Instant message from Abby. "Hey. Wanted to see if we are still on for tonight." Abby asked. Tony smiled. "Of course. If no new cases come up we'll go see that movie." Tony said. He noticed Kate watching him. "Cool. Lunch?" Abby asked. "We'll see. Boss is coming better look busy." Tony said flipping his sound off. "Hey boss." Tony said. Gibbs rushed in and snagged keys to one of the sedans out of his drawer and through em to Tony. "Tony get the car ready we have to go to Richmond. Dead sailor on the side of the road." Gibbs said. Tony nodded and snagged his back pack. "Guess I won't be having Lunch." Tony mumbled walking to the elevator. Kate who was still at her desk smiled sweetly at him. "Say something Tony?" Kate asked. Tony grumbled. "No." And moved on to the elevator.

LUNCH TIME

Tony Kate and Gibbs came into Abby's lab and brought in a couple of boxes worth of evidence. "Ohh is it my birthday?" Abby asked taking the box Tony was holding. Their hands brushing ever so slightly.

"Yeah. This is from Lauren Jamison's house. How long will it take to run DNA on all of this?" Gibbs asked.

Abby looked at the boxes. "I'll bring my findings to you." Abby said.

Gibbs nodded. "Ok. Let's go see what Ducky has for us." Gibbs said moving back to the elevator. Kate watched Tony smile at Abby and walk out behind Gibbs. She also noticed Abby's smile. Maybe she was wrong about Tony.

4 HOURS LATER

Abby came back into the bull pen carrying her findings. She handed it to Gibbs. "Lauren Jamison's sheets. Semen found is not found in CODIS or AFIX. But it was found to be a Petty Officer Harold Jamen's." Abby said.

Gibbs nodded. "Thanks Abs." Gibbs said. Abby smiled at Tony and went to go back to her lab when Gibbs called.

"Abby come here for a minute." Gibbs said.

Abby walked back in. "Yeah boss man?" Abby asked.

Gibbs pointed to Tony. "If you hurt her." Gibbs said pointing to Abby. "I kill you." Gibbs said in his supervisor tone.

Kate looked at him shocked. "How did you know they were dating?" Kate asked.

Gibbs smirked his trademark smirk. "Dinozzo hasn't talked about his latest girls. And Abby has been smiling at him an awful lot." Gibbs said. Kate narrowed her eyes at Gibbs.

"And here I thought you were a profiler Agent Todd." Tony mocked her.

Kate then glared at Tony. "Funny Dinozzo. And to back up Gibbs. Hurt Abby and you won't be producing any kids in the near future." Kate said.

Tony winced. "Good thing I don't plan on hurting her." Tony said.

Abby just smiled. "How long did you know Gibbs?" Abby asked.

Gibbs looked at her. "About 3 months." Gibbs said.

Abby shook her head. "But that's about as long as we've been going out." Abby said.

Gibbs just smirked. "Here's a good idea if you want to keep your relationship a secret don't ride in together." Gibbs said getting up and going to the elevator leaving all 3 of his team members gaping at him.

PRESENT

Tony smirked to himself. Gibbs always knew when his team was up to something. Tony laid out on the couch. He was startled when little hands touched him. He looked over to see Sierra staring at him. "Hey baby." Tony said.

Sierra just stood there sucking on her thumb. "Where's mommy?" She asked.

Tony swallowed. "Mommy had to work." Tony lied.

Sierra looked at him. "Can I lay with you?" She asked.

Tony couldn't deny her that. "Sure sweetie. Come up here with Daddy." Tony said picking her up and placing her up near his head.

"I love you daddy." She said falling back into sleep.

Tony had to swallow his emotions and kiss her head. "Daddy loves you to. So does Mommy." Tony said watching their daughter.
