Late Sunday afternoon Tony was sitting on Gibbs's back porch with Sadie. Everything was still so surreal. He remembered having dreams like this during his love them and leave them days. He would get a call or a kid would show up to NCIS or at his car. The mother would be dead or sick of the kid and he would have to step up as the parent. Except in those dreams Gibbs was pissed at him and sometimes would even throw him off his team. The rest of the team and Ducky, Abby, and whoever was director at the time would all attack him as well. Sometimes Jimmy would be on his side and come to his defense. Other times he would side with the others and he was left out in the cold with a kid he didn't even know. Any time he had those dreams he would wake up in a screaming panic relieved that it was just a dream. Honestly if he woke up and found out that Sadie was just a dream. He would probably lock himself in his apartment and cry. He never cried but that's how much he loved his little girl. He heard the back door open and shut and Gibbs taking a seat beside him on the porch.

"You going in to work tomorrow?" Gibbs asked.

"I want to be but I don't know what to do with Sadie. I don't know any of the daycare centers and I have too many enemy just dying to destroy my life to just leave him with somebody." Tony explained.

"The NCIS daycare center is pretty nice." Gibbs suggested.

"I know but couldn't it be targeted easy?" Tony questioned.

"Haven't had any incidents as long as I've been with the agency." Gibbs assured.

"I guess they would have good security but that's not my only concern." Tony admitted.

"They stay open a little longer than regular daycare centers and if the parent can't pick them up they call whoever is listed to pick the kid up. If there is nobody available one of the attendants will take her home." Gibbs assured.

"It's not even that. It's if Sadie is in the NCIS daycare. It will be easier for the others to find out about her." Tony explained.

"You could just tell them tomorrow." Gibbs offered.

"I know but I am not ready. I am nervous about their reactions." Tony admitted.

"Alright but you have to tell them at some point." Gibbs informed him.

"I know" Tony replied.

"If you leave early tomorrow you can get Sadie registered for daycare and only be a few minutes late to work. That may decrease the chance of raising eyebrows." Gibbs offered.

"You always call us out for being late. Don't you think they will suspect something if you don't mention my tardiness?" Tony suspected.

"I will say you called me and said you had car trouble or something and may be a little late." Gibbs replied.

"I'm bored." Sadie commented.

"You're bored?" Tony questioned.

"Yeah!" Sadie cried.

"I think I am going to take Sadie to the park. Want to come along?" Tony asked.

"I could use some fresh air." Gibbs replied.

"What are you getting here?" Tony teased.

"I mean I wouldn't mind getting out and going for a run or walk." Gibbs replied.

"Do you want to go to the playground Sadie?" Tony asked.

"Yes!" Sadie cried.

"Ya know this backyard is kind of empty. Maybe we should get Sadie something to play with out here." Gibbs suggested.

"That sounds great but what if I move out?" Tony questioned.

"Well if you get a place with a yard you can take it with you. If you don't or the yard is too small. You can keep it here." Gibbs replied.

"Thanks Boss. Well we should get Sadie to the park before it gets too dark." Tony replied.

When they arrived at the park. Gibbs went off to the running trail. While Tony led little Sadie to the playground. He felt bad that there were no kids for Sadie to play with but was relieved for himself. He wouldn't have to make idle small talk with parents. If he wasn't ready to tell his co-workers about his situation. There was no way he could tell random strangers and he didn't want to seem like a bad father. Considering he had no idea about preschools or toddler toys. He put Sadie in the baby swing and started to push. When Sadie decided she was bored with the slide. He took her over to the jungle gym and let her run around a bit. When she got bored with that he set her in the sandbox. He made his way over to the bench and sat down. With any luck she would want to stay there a while. His heart dropped when a woman walked in holding the hand of a boy who looked like he was about four or five. He started towards the sandbox. To get Sadie and go find Gibbs.

"Oh you don't have to leave." The woman assured.

"Well I should probably get her some dinner." Tony replied.

"Not hungry! Wanna stay!" Sadie cried.

"Sounds like she wants to stay a little longer." The woman replied.

"Alright Sadie but only a few more minutes." Tony called.

"Sadie that's a pretty name was she named after a grandmother or did you and your wife just like the name?" The woman asked.

"Guess I just liked the name." Tony replied.

"How rude of me what's your name?" The woman questioned.

"Tony DiNozzo" Tony replied.

"Carmen Williams and that's my son Logan." Carmen replied.

"He's cute." Tony replied.

"Thank you he's a handful but that's what you expect with a five-year old and given his home situation I think he acts out a lot." Carmen explained.

"My Sadie is two. She is pretty calm for a two-year old but she didn't always have the best situation either." Tony replied.

"Well she is cute and seems like a sweet girl." Carmen replied.

"Thanks she really is." Tony replied.

"Wanna go home!" Sadie called.

"OK sweetie just a second." Tony replied.

After they got home Tony got Sadie changed. Then headed downstairs to help Gibbs with dinner. After dinner Tony gave Sadie a bath and got her changed into her pajamas. He sat beside her bed and read her two bedtime stories. Around two in the morning he heard soft cries coming from his daughter's room. He climbed out of bed and walked next door to her room. He found her sitting up in bed

"Bad dream!" Sadie cried.

"Aw poor baby it's OK daddy's here. Daddy's here." Tony assured.

Tony walked over and sat on the bed beside his little girl. He was just starting to get her calmed down when he heard a loud creaking noise. Before he had a chance to react. The bed gave out underneath them sending him and Sadie tumbling to the floor. Luckily Sadie escaped unharmed. Tony however hit his head on the side table.

"I heard a crash what happened?" Gibbs asked entering the room.

"The bed just collapsed." Tony replied.

"Oh no are you guys OK?" Gibbs questioned.

"Sadie is fine but I hit my head on the side table and my wrist hurts." Tony replied.

"Let me see." Gibbs replied.

"Alright" Tony replied moving closer to his Boss.

"Well your wrist is probably just sprained. I have an ace bandage you can borrow for that and your pupils are normal. So I don't think there's a concussion. You're already getting a bruise though." Gibbs explained.

"So I don't have to go the hospital?" Tony asked.

"Only if you really start hurting or acting strange." Gibbs replied.

"Can you check Sadie over too?" Tony asked.

"Of course" Gibbs replied.
