Later that afternoon Gibbs and Tony assembled Sadie's new bed. Gibbs couldn't help but smile at the innocent grin on his son's face. As he bragged about his little girl's tastes. Apparently Sadie had his musical taste but Tony's taste in cars and decor. Gibbs had never once doubted that Tony would make an excellent father one day but this went above and beyond what he expected. Tony had treated stepping into the role of father to a toddler. Like he would treat moving to a different bullpen. It was a huge shock and he was still getting used to it but he wasn't complaining or neglecting the kid. Of course Tony was far from doing it alone and was the first to admit that. Even with the light mood Gibbs could not seem to forget Jimmy's words to him earlier in the day. About how depressed Tony had gotten. While he was on his little breakdown in Mexico.

"Boss are you alright?" Tony asked.

"How did you feel when I was in Mexico? Really?" Gibbs asked.

"Boss, you needed a couple of weeks off after burying your dad. The last of your family. Plus it was kind of cool being Agent In Charge for a while." Tony replied.

"Not my vacation when I retired back in two thousand six." Gibbs corrected.

"Oh well it was fine." Tony lied,

"I know when you are lying to me DiNozzo." Gibbs argued

"Alright I hated it. I missed you like crazy and the team treated me like shit. I get that they missed you too and we were all still freaked out about you getting blown up but it still hurt, the way they treated me, the fact that you weren't there to whip sense into all of us." Tony explained.

"I am sorry DiNozzo. I am not planning on an official retirement for a long time but before I do. I will make sure that everybody knows that you are in charge and that if they give you any crap. I will gladly teach you a lesson." Gibbs explained.

"Thanks Boss but I can handle myself now. I had other issues when you retired before." Tony admitted.

"What other issues? You weren't sick right?" Gibbs questioned.

"You left the hospital way before they wanted you to and your head was still weird. Every time my phone rang or Jenny said she needed to speak with me. I was terrified that I was going to find out that you were dead. I still worry when you show up late or when Bishop or McGee leave with you but come back alone." Tony explained.

"You worry about me dying?" Gibbs asked.

"Yeah! I'm weak OK!" Tony cried.

"I didn't say you were weak, DiNozzo. I didn't even sound like I was mocking you. I just asked you if my death was a true concern to you." Gibbs explained.

"I know but you have to admit it is pretty pathetic. I mean did you ever worry about Mike dying? Before he got sick and it became real?" Tony questioned.

"Actually I did. All the time. Of course if I admitted that to him. He would probably wet himself laughing at me." Gibbs replied.

"Why do you say that?" Tony asked.

"Because it happened." Gibbs admitted smiling at the memory.

Tony snuggled with Sadie in her new bed. She was holding the doll he had bought for her at Toy's R Us that day. He had actually had a lot better luck at Babies R Us than he expected. He had found some diapers and clothes in her size. He was also able to find any toilet training supplies he would need. He bought a red potty seat and allowed Sadie to pick out the training pants she wanted. Naturally she picked a ones with little cars on them. After he had everything he needed. He and Gibbs left Jimmy to browse and see what he wanted to register for. Tony had taken Sadie to Toys R Us. While Gibbs took a detour to the hardware store on the other end of the shopping center. They had barely made it in the door when Sadie spotted the doll. It had red pigtails and green eyes. He couldn't say no he had promised her any toy she wanted and she was attracted to red-heads. Another similarity to Gibbs.

"So Sadie what are you going to name your new doll?" Tony asked.

"Leroy Jedro like Boss." Sadie replied.

"Leroy Jethro is a boy's name silly." Tony replied.

"But I like Boss." Sadie argued.

"How about you call her LJ? It is easier to pronounce and besides Boss hates the name Leroy and isn't to crazy about Jethro either." Tony suggested.

"OK" Sadie replied.

"TONY! SADIE! DINNER!" Gibbs called from downstairs.

"Coming Boss!" Tony called back.

"OK Boss!" Sadie called.

After dinner Gibbs went down to his basement and got to work on the toy chest he was going to surprise Sadie with. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Before coming to a stop on the landing.

"Boss?" Tony called.

"What is it DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked.

"I just got off the phone with Dr. Pitt about Sadie."

"Shit DiNozzo! Is she sick do I need to drive you to the hospital?" Gibbs asked.

"No he was calling me back about the other day. When I called to see if my plague could affect Sadie's health." Tony explained.

"Jesus don't scare me like that!" Gibbs exclaimed.

"Sorry Boss" Tony apologized.

"It's OK now what did Brad have to say?" Gibbs questioned.

"Well when I called the other day. He said that he would try to get Sadie in to check her out but he is really busy right now and since Sadie's lungs are healthy as far as we know. He can't exactly work her in but he said that he would talk to his friend Dr. Miller for me." Tony explained.

"Why is this important?" Gibbs asked.

"She has an appointment Wednesday at two." Tony replied.

"OK don't forget to tell the director." Gibbs reminded.

"I will tell him first thing Monday morning. " Tony assured.

"Good boy but he isn't the only one who has to know." Gibbs replied.

"No Boss I am not ready yet." Tony pleaded.

"Fine but I am getting sick of covering for you." Gibbs replied.

"I know Boss." Tony sighed.
