Author's Note
Ok in response to the several reviews that I have gotten.
Tony's real name is Anthony Julian Mallory and his mother's maiden name was DiNozzo which Tony chose to use when he went to live with his mother's family a few years after the death of his parents. His father John Mallory who was a marine died when he was twelve and his mother Julia died a year later.
When Tony and Gibbs first meet Tony is staying with his brother and sister-in-law on base. Tony who is fourteen almost fifteen looks old enough to pass for seventeen or eighteen easily (in real life this does happen mostly to girls but I have known guys that could pass for being twenty when they were fifteen or sixteen) tells Gibbs that he is about to start college. (Tony is able to start college early due to home schooling by his mother. He seems to me to be very smart and would not be someone who boredom is a good idea for. Yes this is possible, going to public school set to graduate at eighteen I could have started at sixteen in college part time. When I did start college at barely seventeen no one knew how old I was unless I told them and I took upper level courses.)
About Tony's age not matching on several different sites I tried to find an exact age but got different answers of somewhere between 28 and 32 now with Tony working for Gibbs for about 2 ½ or 3 years now. Tony was fourteen when he got pregnant and had his daughter when he was fifteen (it does take nine months or ten to grow a baby). His daughter is now almost sixteen putting Tony at 31 years old. This makes him 28 when he started to work for Gibbs.
When Tony first saw Gibbs in Baltimore he was shocked and did not know how to react. He quickly realized that Gibbs didn't recognize him. Tony does still love Gibbs and deep down knows that he is a good man and wants to be near him. Tony takes the job not really thinking about what could happen. When Tony gets the call he gets defensive and that is why he acts like he does.
Ok, last but not least male pregnancy is possible because in my little universe about 10-20 of males can get pregnant and carry a baby to term. It is not common but nor is rare.
