Tony woke up the next morning in Tiana's apartment and grinned sleepily as she rolled over and snuggled closer to him "Morning" Tia mumbled and tightened her grip "Morning" Tony couldn't help grinning as he tried to sit up, before Tia pulled him back down "Uh, Tia, I have to get home and get changed for work" Tony explained and Tia sighed as she loosened her grip and pouted playfully. "Why?" she asked, looking at him with big blue eyes "because if I don't go into work today my boss will find me and possibly kill me" Tony explained and Tia smiled "I meant why do you have to go home. Why don't you just have a shower here?" she asked "I need a change of clothes" Tony replied "And I need to pick up my car" he added reluctantly as he rolled over and wrapped his arms around her "Why don't you just wander into that bathroom over there and I'll take care of the rest" Tia offered and slid out of bed, reaching for a New York Rangers hockey jersey to throw over the boxer shorts and singlet she had slept in, before leaning down to press her lips against Tony's "There are clean towels in the bathroom and I'll just run out and get us some breakfast" Tiana said as she quickly bundled her blonde hair into a ponytail, pushed Tony in the direction of her bathroom and left the apartment.
Across town, Timothy McGee wandered around Abby's apartment, looking for his pants. "Come on Abby, just tell me where they are" he begged from outside the bathroom where Abby had barricaded herself "But that wouldn't be any fun, McGee" Abby replied as she stuck her head around the door and saw the pleading look on his face "Oh alright" she gave in and reached behind her and with a magician's flourish handed over his pants "Thanks Abs" Tim donned his pants and wandered back into the kitchen to rustle up something for breakfast.
Abby sat on the floor of the bathroom and breathed a sigh of relief as she heard Tim move into the kitchen. She glanced at her watch for what seemed like the millionth time in the last four minutes before she stood up and reached for the test strip on top of the toilet, her heart pounding in her ears.
An hour later Tony walked into the bullpen at NCIS headquarters and gently set the tray with four cups of coffee on his desk before he dropped his black backpack into the file cabinet drawer behind it "Good morning, Kate" Tony greeted Kate Todd cheerfully as she strolled into the bullpen, McGee three steps behind her "Good morning McGee" Tony handed each of them a cup from the holder on his desk "Beautiful day isn't it?" Tony asked as he placed a cup on Gibbs' desk before sitting down at his own, oblivious to the stunned looks gracing the faces of his coworkers.
"Something's going on" Kate announced to Abby as she entered the lab, not noticing the guilty look enter Abby's blue eyes "L-Like what?" she stammered as Kate threw herself into the chair behind Abby's desk "Tony. He has been acting really weird all day" she told Abby who sighed with relief, Kate was to preoccupied with Tony's bizarre behavior "What's he done now?" Abby asked as she examined a ballistics report on her computer "Nothing!" Kate exclaimed "That's what's wrong. He has been being….nice and cheerful all day. Poor McGee is a nervous wreck, he thinks it is one of Tony's pranks and is just waiting for the other shoe to drop" Kate explained "He's not the only one" Abby mumbled under her breath, but Kate didn't notice. Abby let Kate ramble on about Tony for a few minutes more before shooing her from the lab. After a quick look around she picked up the phone from her desk and quickly dialed an unfamiliar number "Good afternoon, Dr. Hamilton's office" a cheery female voice answered.
At the end of the day, Tony packed his backpack with the same bounding energy he had been filled with all day. "Okay DiNozzo, spill it" Gibbs ordered as he sat down on the edge of Tony's desk "Spill what, boss?" Tony asked with a big dopey grin "Are you on drugs, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked and Tony laughed "No way boss" he replied and finished packing his bag "Then what has put you in such a good mood?" Gibbs demanded "I'm not normally in a good mood, boss?" Tony asked "Not like this" Gibbs retorted "I've met the girl I'm going to marry, boss. All I have to do is convince her to marry me" Tony answered and practically bounced towards the elevator, ignoring the strange looks, because he knew Tiana was waiting for him.
