Tony smiled as he looked at the people that was his and Abby's family. His family never did accept Abby. His brother did but that was all. Tony felt arms wrap around his waist and smiled. "Hey." He said turning and pulling her to him.
"Hey yourself. Whatcha thinking about?" She asked.
"Just thinking of our family. And that Si looks like she needs her nap." He said.
Abby nodded. "She probably does." She said.
"Wanna go get her and I'll meet you in her room?" He asked.
Abby smiled and pulled up to kiss him. "Now I do." She said smiling. Tony smirked and walked into the 2nd bedroom. He remember when he surprised Abby with this house.
FLASHBACK
MAY 8TH
KATE AND GERALD'S APARTMENT
Today Kate had planned a surprise Engagement party for Abby and Tony. McGee and Daisy were in the kitchen getting the snacks on a platter. Kate was in the living room getting drinks set up and Gerald was watching for the guests. "Hey Katie? What time did you tell Ducky and Gibbs to get here?" He asked.
Kate looked at the clock. "About 1. Why?" She asked.
"They just aren't here yet." He said pulling the curtain back.
Kate shrugged. "Might've gotten held up in traffic." She said not thinking.
Gerald looked at her. "With Gibbs driving?" He asked doubtfully.
Kate smirked. "You're right." She said. Just then Gibbs pulled up with Ducky in the passenger seat. Kate opened the door and let em in.
"Sorry we're late. But Ducky wouldn't let me go over 55." Gibbs said handing Kate a bottle of wine.
"Quite alright. Give me a minute to go call our guests of Honor." She said.
TONY'S APARTMENT
Tony was in the kitchen making lunch for him and Abby. Abby was getting their drinks when his cell phone rang. "Noooo." He groaned. Abby smirked and handed it to him. He glared at the phone and pulled it open.
"Dinozzo." He said.
"Hey Tony. Could you come over to me and Gerald's for a few minutes. Just some last minute wedding stuff." Kate said. Tony looked at Abby.
"Yeah we can be there in about 30 minutes." He said earning him a confused look from Abby.
"Alright thanks. We'll see you then." Kate said hanging up.
Abby watching Tony shut his phone. "What was that about?" She asked sipping her drink.
"Kate wants me and you to go by her and Gerald's and finish up some last minute wedding details." He said.
"Alright. Let's go and get it done. Cause I wanna see this surprise you have for me." She said.
Tony smirked. "Abs it only takes about 10 minutes to get Kate's from here." He said.
"Ok. So let's go." She said. Tony smirked as he nodded and followed Abby out of the apartment.
UNKNOWN LOCATION
Tony pulled up to a house that was on the outskirts of town. "This ain't Kate and Gerald's house. Where are we Tony?" She asked confused.
"I want you to look at this house." He said.
Abby groaned. "Tony we decided we couldn't afford a house. We'd wait and buy one later like 10 years from now." She said.
Tony smiled. "Just look at it for me." He asked giving her the puppy dog eyes.
"Arrgghhh. Alright." She said giving in. Tony smiled and climbed out of the car and followed her up to the house. He pulled a master key out of the electrical box and unlocked the door. Abby stepped inside and it stole her breath away.
"Oh my. This is beautiful." She said in awe of the house.
Tony pulled her into a far off bedroom. "This I thought could be the nursery if we ever have kids." He said.
"Tony we haven't bought the house." She said.
"I know but I was just thinking this could be the nursery. Or maybe where you put your coffin." He said.
"Tony I ain't bringing my coffin." She said.
Tony was surprised. 'What why not. It's apart of you." He asked taking her hand.
"I know. But I just don't want the coffin here. It's not me anymore." She said.
"Why is not you anymore?" He asked.
"Cause before the coffin and the black was something I wanted to be. I think it was to hide my hurt and pain. But when we started going out the hurt and pain dissipated. I think the hurt and pain was from watching you go out with so many women and thinking that you'd never chose me." She said wiping a tear from her eye.
Tony took her chin and kissed her. "Abigail Sciuto you are the most amazing woman there is. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise." He said.
"I love you so much." She said.
He smiled. "Me too. Now we better get to the McCrary's house before Kate calls yelling at me." He said. Abby smiled and intertwined his hand with hers and walked out.
KATE AND GERALD'S HOUSE
Tony and Abby pulled up and got out. "Abby I think this is a set up." He said.
"What makes you think that?" She asked.
He pointed to a Honda and another car sitting in the driveway. "Cause if I'm not mistaken those 2 cars are Gibbs and McGee's." He said.
Abby smiled. "Come on let's see what the newlyweds have planned for us." She said getting out. Tony followed suit and got out and walked to the door.
On the door was a note. "Come on in." He read. Abby opened the door to see no lights on.
"Tony I think you're right. I think it's a set up. So I guess I'll just turn the lights on and check it out." Abby said. Tony switched the light on to have 9 people pop out and yell. "SURPRISE." Abby and Tony jumped a little. Over the kitchen door frame was a banner. 'CONGRATULATIONS TONY AND ABBY."
Tony smiled. "Last minute wedding plans Kate?" He asked.
Kate hugged him. 'Well it got you here." She said. Abby and him mingled with the guests.
3 HOURS LATER
Tony cleared his throat. "Thank you Kate for throwing this surprise Engagement party." He said.
"I guess everyone wants to go home seeing as we have work tomorrow. But before you do I have one gift for my bride to be." He said. Abby raised an eyebrow. Tony pulled his wallet out and handed her a folded piece of paper.
"Tony what is this?' She asked.
Tony smiled. "Open it and find out." He said.
Abby unfolded it to reveal a deed to a house. "It's a deed to a house. But what house?" She asked. Michael and Annie smiled at each other.
"Read the address." Tony said.
Abby looked at the address shocked. 'Tony this is the house we just looked at." She said almost in tears.
Tony nodded. "I watch you drive by it looking at the outside and the for sale sign. So about a month ago me and Michael went to Philadelphia and got most of my trust out of the bank. Took some hard bargaining with daddy dearest but we got it. I put a down payment on the house last week." He said.
Abby was in tears she hugged him and wouldn't let go. "Thank you." She said in a choked sob.
"Anything for you babe. See you saved me from myself when you agreed to go out with me. You just didn't know it." He said. Everyone smiled as the soon to be newlyweds kissed.
PRESENT
Tony was brought back to the present when Abby walked into the Sierra's bedroom. "Hey Babe come here." She said. Tony walked out into the living room to see McGee talking seriously to everyone.
"I just wanna say that I couldn't be more honored to be apart of a team that I can call family. With that said I need to ask a question." He said Daisy who was standing behind him didn't see it coming.
McGee went down on one knee. "Daisy would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He asked. Abby Annie and Kate all gasped.
Daisy smiled. "Yes." She said. Everyone cheered when they kissed. McGee broke the kiss and smiled.
Tony smirked. "Good job Tim." He said.
McGee smiled. "Thanks Tony." He said.
McGee looked at Daisy. "There's just one catch. I wanna get married in September." He said.
Daisy smiled. "Let me guess the date. The 19th?" She asked.
McGee nodded. "Yes." He said.
Daisy nodded. "We can do that. If I can have Abby and Kate's help. Maybe even Annie's?" She asked. All three girls nodded. Tony smiled and the group. At the family.
