BETHESDA HOSPITAL
JUNE- 14TH -2005 9: AM
Tony came into the ICU waiting room and asked the nurse if he could go back to see Abby. "What's your wife's name?" She asked.
"Abigail Dinozzo." Tony stated.
The nurse checked her chart. "Excuse me a minute." She said walking to the phone. Tony was getting worried. No one had called him about any changes. But then it might have happened after he turned his cell off so Sierra would sleep without being woken up. The nurse came back smiling at him.
"If you will follow me." She said going out of the waiting room into a bank of elevators.
"I'm gonna take you up to our progressive care ward. A nurse will direct you there." She said.
Tony nodded. "Was she ok when they moved her?" He asked.
The Nurse shrugged. "I don't know. I wasn't there. All I know is what they put on the clip board." She said sympathetically.
Tony smiled. "Ok. Thank you." Tony said.
The nurse walked him to the nurse's station and patted his arm. "Good luck." She said. Tony smiled his acknowledgment. Another nurse came up to him.
"Yes sir can I help you?" She asked pleasantly.
"Yes my wife Abigail Dinozzo what room is she in?" He asked.
She nodded and typed in Abby's name into the computer. "She's in 407. It's straight down this hall behind you." She said.
Tony nodded. "Thank you." Tony said walking down the hall and found the room. He walked in to see Abby switching the tv channels viciously.
"Abby?" Tony asked.
Abby turned and smiled. "Finally get here?" She asked hoarsely. Tony smiled tearfully at her voice. He hadn't heard it for about a week. And it was heavenly. Abby smiled at his tears and held her arms out for a hug from him. Tony collapsed into her arms and laid there for a while.
"I'm so glad you're here." Tony said into her shoulder.
Abby smiled. "Where's a my baby?" Abby asked..
Tony smiled at her. "With Kate at her and Gerald's house. I'll call em in a while. I wanna spend time with you." Tony said.
Abby smiled. "Pain meds are making me sleepy. Stay with me for a while?" She asked. Tony entwined their fingers and sat down in the chair beside the bed. He smiled at her and watched as her eyes drooped shut. He remembered how good she took care of him while they were in Pennsylvania for his mother's death.
DECEMBER- 3RD The years are getting me confused. Here's some math. Tony and Abby started dating in June. And he asked her to marry him in Oct. In present they've been married for 3 years and Sierra is 2 and ½. Figure it out.
NCIS BELL PEN
Tony was getting back ground info on their latest case when his phone rang. "Agent Dinozzo." He said. "Hey Tony." Came a voice. Tony smiled.
"Hey Bro. How's it going?" Tony asked.
"Fine.." Michael said.
"Good. Listen thanks for sending me that ring. Abby loved it." Tony said.
"Good to hear. Tony something happened." Michael said.
Tony got worried. "What happened?" Tony asked.
"Um mom got into a bad accident. Tony you need to come back ASAP." Michael said.
Tony sat straight up. "What kind of accident?" Tony asked.
"She fell done the stairs. Brain damage. I need you to come and help me make a decision. Dad wants to pull the plug." Michael said.
Tony was angry. "Like hell. I'll be there as soon as I can get a flight out of here." Tony said.
"K. Call me back and let me know your flight arrangements and I will come pick you up." Michael said.
"K. Thanks for calling." Tony said hanging his phone up. Gibbs and Kate came at that time and sat down.
"Personal calls on company Dinozzo?" Gibbs asked.
Tony shook his head. "No. Um my brother called. I have to go Pennsylvania for a few days. My mother is in a coma." Tony said somberly.
Gibbs looked at his younger agent. "Sorry Tony. Go on go. We'll work the case. If you need anything call us." Gibbs said.
Tony nodded. "I'm gonna go let Abby know." Tony said rushing for the elevator.
NCIS ABBY'S LAB
Abby was working when she heard the elevator ding. She turned to see a forlorn Tony come in. Abby smiled. "Hey Handsome. What brings you down here?" Abby asked looking back into her microscope.
"My brother called me a few minutes ago." Tony said taking a deep breath. Abby sensed something was upsetting him and grabbed his hand.
"My mom had an accident. She's in a coma. And he needs me to come and help him convince dad to not pull the plug." Tony said.
Abby gasped. "Would he do that?" Abby asked.
Tony nodded. "If it caused us pain he would. Damned the consequences. I'm going up there. Just wanted to tell you." Tony said.
Abby pulled him to her and hugged him. "Want me to come?" Abby asked.
Tony sighed. 'I do. But I know Gibbs needs you on this case. Stay and help em. Nothing for you to do but to sit in a hospital and wait for unanswered questions." Tony said.
Abby kissed him. "Call me when you get there ok?" Abby asked squeezing his hand.
Tony nodded. "I will. I love you." Tony said.
Abby smiled. "I love you too. Go on and see your mom." Abby said. Tony smiled and walked backwards and let his hand slip from Abby's grasp and got into the elevator.
DECEMBER- 6TH
NCIS ABBY'S LAB
Abby was cleaning up her workstation when Gibbs and Kate came down. "Got more evidence for me?" Abby asked.
Kate shook her head. "Well sorta we need you to tell us where this stub is from." Kate said handing Abby the plane ticket stub in the evidence bag. Abby donned her gloves and took the ticket out of the evidence not noticing the smirks being passed from Kate to Gibbs.
"It says it's round trip from DC National to Philadelphia." Abby said.
Kate nodded. "We know that we need you to decipher the name." Kate said.
Abby nodded. "K. Let's see." She said adjusting her microscope.
Gibbs cleared his throat. "How's Tony's mom doing?" Gibbs asked.
Abby sighed. "He called me last night. Said that they had to take her off life support. She didn't make it." Abby said.
"I really wish I could be there with him. His brother called me this morning said Tony was sick to his stomach." Abby said looking at the ticket with surprise.
"This is creepy." Abby said.
Kate smiled. 'Why is it creepy. A name that we already suspect?" Kate asked.
Abby shook her head. "No it's my name." Abby said looking at her boss and colleague scared.
Gibbs smirked. "Go see him Abby. The case is solved if we need anything we'll call you or have Jimmy come down and do it." Gibbs said.
"Tony needs you more than we do." Gibbs said.
Abby smiled and hugged him surprising him. "Thank you. I need to go pack and get to him. Thank you both so much." Abby said hugging Kate and walking out of her lab.
PHILADELPHIA
DECEMBER- 7TH
Abby pulled her rental car into the big house's driveway. She had no clue where Tony would be so she took out her cell phone and dialed his cell number. "Hello." Came a very weird voice.
"Uh yes I'm looking for Tony Dinozzo?" Abby said confused.
"Abby?" Came back to her.
"Yes. Who's this?" Abby asked.
"It's me. Tony." Tony said.
Abby's heat sank he sounded so destroyed. "Hey. Just called to see how you were holding up." Abby said closing her eyes.
She heard the sigh. "Tired. Sad. Mad. Take a pick." He said.
Abby nodded. "Where you at?" She asked.
"The house. Laying on the couch. Some car is out in the driveway. I guess I should go see who it is. No one is home." Tony said.
Abby smiled. "I guess you should. Go on see who it is. I'll call you later." Abby said.
"K I love you. Tell Gibbs to ease up on Probie." Tony said.
Abby nodded. 'Will do it. Love you too. Hang in there." Abby said.
"Gonna try." Tony said. Abby punched the horn causing it to go off.
"This person is impatient. I'll talk to you later." Tony said flipping his cell phone off. Abby smiled and watched the front door to reveal Tony. His face looked like someone had punched him in the eyes. He had lost some weight since he left to come here. And he looked down right miserable. Tony was making his way to the car when she got out. Abby smiled when Tony stopped dead in his tracks.
"So I'm impatient huh?" Abby asked.
Tony smiled and walked the rest of the way to her and hugged her to him. "When did you get here?" Tony asked.
"Just a few minutes ago." Abby said.
Tony pulled back and smiled. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Tony asked.
Abby shrugged. "I didn't know I was coming until Gibbs and Kate handed me my ticket. And Gibbs told me to leave or I was fired." Abby said.
Tony smiled. "Glad that he did. Come on my brother and his wife aren't here yet but they will be by in a while." Tony said taking her hand in his and walking back up the front steps.
7: PM
PHILLY. DINOZZO HOUSE
Tony and Abby had toured the grounds of the large estate and was now sitting out in the back yard. The time Abby had been here with Tony he hadn't mentioned the accident or his mom. "Tony?" Abby asked.
Tony looked at her. "Yeah?" He asked.
Abby sighed. "Talk to me. We're gonna get married. You gotta tell me something here. Why are you so quiet?" Abby asked.
Tony sighed. "I just don't get it. She has come down those stairs for as long as I've been alive. Why did she have fall?" Tony asked.
Abby heard the sadness in his voice. "You don't think she fell do you?" Abby asked.
Tony shook his head. "No I don't. I think my father pushed her." Tony said. Abby reached for his hand and held it.
"He did it to me enough times." Tony said.
Abby looked at him horrified. "He hit you?" Abby asked.
Tony nodded. "Yeah." Tony said softly.
"When he wasn't trying to turn me and my brother against each other. I think that's what made us form more of a bond together." Tony said.
Abby nodded. "I'm sorry." Abby said.
Tony shook his head. "You didn't know." Tony said squeezing her hand.
"My brother should be here soon come on let's go meet em." Tony said standing pulling Abby with him.
Abby stopped him. "Tony? You aren't like your father." Abby said.
Tony looked at her. "What's the old saying. Like father like son." Tony said.
Abby shook her head. "No. You aren't like him. You prove that everyday. Everyday you come into work and fight for the good of the nation. Bring justice to the dead soldiers." Abby said.
"And I am very proud to be with you. No matter what your dad or anyone else says." Abby said. Tony smiled and kissed her on the lips. The kiss ended when someone cleared their throat.
"I see my little brother still has it." Michael Dinozzo smirked.
Tony smiled. "Hey there big bro. How's family life treating you?" Tony asked.
Michael smiled. "Fine. Is this the girl you asked me to get the ring for?" Michael asked looking at Abby.
Tony smiled and grabbed Abby's hand. "Abigail Sciuto this is my brother Michael Dinozzo. Michael this is Abby." Tony said.
Michael shook her hand. "Good to meet you. Tony told me a little about you. As did my father. But Tony's version was nicer." Michael said.
Abby laughed. "I bet. From what I heard I didn't make a good impression on your father." Abby said.
Michael shook his head. "Well in all honesty our dad didn't like Tony going into law enforcement. So anyone who encourages that he hates." Michael said. Just then a woman walked up beside Michael. Abby made her out to be in her mid to late 30's mossy brown hair. And a pretty face. The little girl she was holding couldn't be more than 4 yrs of age. And looked exactly like Tony.
Michael turned to the woman. "Annie. This is Tony's fiancee Abby. This is my wife Annie." He said.
Abby shook her hand. "Hi." She said.
The little girl squirmed. "And this is our daughter Margaret." Annie said.
Abby smiled the little girl. "Hi Margaret." She said. Tony held his hands out to his niece.
"Uncle Tony! Mommy said you were here but I didn't believe her." Margaret said.
Tony smirked. "Margaret tell Abby how old you are." He said.
"I'm 3 and a half." Margaret said.
"And my friends call me Maggie. Since you're with Uncle Tony you can too." Maggie said.
Abby smiled. 'Well thank you. You're a pretty little girl." Abby said. Tony smiled at her yeah this woman would be a good mother.
PRESENT
Tony was brought out of his thoughts when something was crawling in his lap. He opened his eyes to see Sierra crawling up into his lap and resting her head on his shoulder. Tony seen Kate and Gerald standing smiling. "Sorry I tried to keep her in the cafeteria but she said she wanted Daddy." Kate said. Tony smiled he didn't remember coming out into the corridor but smiled.
"Come on follow me someone wants to see all of you." Tony said carrying Sierra into Abby's room. Sierra who had her head buried in Tony's shoulder didn't see Abby. But Abby saw her baby girl. Tony laid Sierra down on the bed carefully. When Sierra looked where she was she smiled brightly at her mommy.
'Mommy!" Sierra said excitedly hugging Abby. Abby wrapped her arms around her baby girl.
"Hey sweetie." Abby said pulling Sierra into her side. Kate Gerald and Tony stood back and watched mom and daughter reunite after a week of not seeing each other.
