Tony grabbed Sadie and spun her around the room. Sadie giggled and chanted for him to go faster. He picked up the speed slightly. Not wanting to go too fast and accidentally cause his little girl to go flying from his arms. He continued to spin around until he noticed that he wasn't moving any faster but the room seemed to be spinning a lot faster. He stopped despite Sadie's protests. He felt his knees buckle and the next thing he knew he was on the floor. Air wasn't getting his lungs properly and he felt sick. Right on cue Gibbs walked in the front door balancing two grocery bags on his arms. Gibbs set the bags on the floor and rushed to his son's side.

"What happened?" Gibbs asked.

"Daddy's sick." Sadie replied.

"What's wrong?" Gibbs asked.

"I was spinning Sadie around and suddenly I was really dizzy, felt sick, and I am having trouble breathing." Tony explained.

"Well aside from being just a little too old to spin around like that. Don't feel too bad. I had a similar experience with Kelly and I was much younger than you when she was Sadie's age. I would say you are about to have an asthma attack. Do you have your inhaler?" Gibbs explained.

"I think I left it on my desk... At work." Tony admitted shyly.

"You are damn lucky a Marine is always prepared." Gibbs replied handing Tony his inhaler.

"You haven't been to HQ since you turned your badge in, how did you?" Tony asked.

"I have magic powers... Just kidding McGee found it and called me to pick it up" Gibbs explained.

"Well I am glad Probie found my inhaler but I think I am going to be OK." Tony replied.

"Keep it on you or I am going to have Ducky wire it to your neck." Gibbs warned.

"Yes dad." Tony sighed.

"Sadie?" Gibbs called.

"What is it Grandpa Gibbs?" Sadie asked.

"Is your daddy being hard-headed?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes" Sadie agreed.

"What do we do to hard-headed people?" Gibbs asked.

"Gibbs Slap!" Sadie cried.

"That's right. Do you want to do the honors?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes!" Sadie cried jumping up and lightly slapping Tony on the back of the head.

"That's awesome, teach my daughter to Gibbs-Slap me." Tony sighed.

"Well, Ducky told me he came into autopsy yesterday and caught you whispering "Probie" over and over again to Delilah's stomach." Gibbs explained.

"Dangit! He swore he wouldn't tell!" Tony cried.

"Well he did, now go get Sadie cleaned up. Jimmy is bringing Emma over for dinner." Gibbs replied.

"Oh! I can't wait to meet Emma!" Tony cried.

"Me too!" Sadie agreed.


It was Friday and what was now Team Tony had the weekend off. Gibbs had shocked everybody by retiring two weeks ago. Ziva needed to be watched constantly while on bed-rest and Gibbs just wanted to be a grandpa since Sadie and baby Tony/Ziva came into the picture. The transition from Gibbs to Tony as team lead. Had been surprisingly smooth. Gibbs laid down the law that Tony was in charge and if they mistreated him. They answered to Gibbs. Tony was an excellent team lead. He had more confidence than he did since Gibbs was down in Mexico and had greatly matured as an agent over the past few years. Especially in the past few months since Sadie came into his life. With Ziva out of commission indefinitely Tony had selected two Probies for the team. Ray Luigi and Evie Rosenberg, Ray was nearing the end of his probationary period but Evie was a liaison agent from Delaware PD. They reminded Tony a lot of him and Ziva in their younger days. So much that Tony was looking to place one of them on another DC based team when Ziva was able to return. He didn't enforce rule twelve as strictly as Gibbs but relationships with partners were highly frowned upon by NCIS management. If you did want to date your partner the process of getting the relationship approved by HR was so rigorous that most ended up breaking up before the process was even half over. Tony was glad that Vance had decided to waive the process for him and Ziva. Since he had always seen Ziva as a second daughter and Tony had helped his children so much after Jackie died. He felt he owed it to the two agent. Who were now planning their wedding for as soon as Ziva was allowed out of bed long enough to walk down the aisle.


Jimmy placed Emma in her car-seat. They were getting ready to go over to Gibbs's house for dinner. He could not wait for Tony and Sadie to meet Emma. He had invited everybody over the previous Sunday to meet her but the friend of Gibbs's who was supposed to watch Ziva backed out at the last-minute and Sadie had a small cold anyway. So Tony had ended up staying home with her. Meaning that Tony was the last member of the NCIS family to meet Emma. Even Ziva had met her when Jimmy had come over with her a few days before to drop off Gibbs's retirement card but Tony was out with Sadie. He climbed in the driver's seat and headed toward Gibbs's house. He pulled into Gibbs's driveway, climbed out of the car, got Sadie out, and carried her to the front door. Upon entering the house. He found Tony sitting on the couch holding Sadie in his arms.

"Oh hi, Autopsy Gremlin. Gibbs said dinner should be ready in fifteen minutes." Tony greeted.

"Hi Tony, are we too early? I can come back." Jimmy replied.

"No it's fine Gibbs just went out to get some juice for Sadie and Emma." Tony replied.

"Well do you want to introduce the girls?" Jimmy asked.

"Oh yeah sure." Tony replied picking Sadie up and carrying her over to Jimmy.

"Emma, this is Sadie and her daddy Tony." Jimmy introduced.

"Sadie, this is Emma." Tony introduced.

"Hi Sadie" Emma greeted.

"Hello Emma!" Sadie cried.


Tony and Jimmy left Sadie and Emma on the living room floor. While they went and got dinner served. It had been fifteen minutes since Jimmy arrived and Gibbs had left half an hour ago. Promising to be back in fifteen or twenty minutes. Tony was extremely concerned. Gibbs was never late. At least not more than five minutes without calling to explain his lateness. Tony was extremely concerned for his adoptive father. He still needed his dad and Sadie still needed her grandpa. Tony had dinner served and was getting ready to bring Sadie and Emma to the table. When his phone rang, It was McGee.

"Hello Probie?"

"Tony, it's Gibbs."
