Hope you liked the first chapter, this is my first fanfic so constructive criticism is needed.

How often I write chapters can vary, at the moment I am meant to be revising for my A-Levels but I am instead watching eppys of NCIS on the web and typing all my thoughts into this fic. This is my form of tension relief lol.

Thankyou for reading, Amy x


All sorts were running through Gibb's head; A daughter?? Tony and a daughter?? Even though Tony is Tony he just could not imagine him abandon or not be there for his own kid… which means that there are only 2 possible conclusions… so he broke the silence…

"McGee…?"

"On it Boss, I'm gonna call the FBI and ask then to send us a copy of the file then I'll do my best to track the e-mail"

Gibbs nodded. He had to admit, though not out loud, he has trained his team well even though they haven't even left the building yet.

"Tony…"

"Yeah Boss…?" Tony was staring at the floor, Gibbs could tell that Tony had no idea what was going on.

"Well, either this guy is under the impression that this young woman is your daughter and she really isn't or you really do…"

Tony was still in shock… Ziva still hadn't said a word; she too was trying to find the right thing to say.

"I have never seen that girl in my life, and it does not matter whether or not this kid is mine or if it just some part of a huge elaborate plan to ruin my life, we need to help her!"

"Agreed", Ziva finally spoke "but first we need to know all we can about this case file and about the hostage"

"we don't have enough time" snapped Tony "we have 36 hours-ish we cant just spend that reading some FBI nonsense" just then, he received a swift head-slap.

"Hey, we're all in shock here, don't go shouting at Ziva!" Gibbs interrupted.

"Shutting up Boss… sorry Ziva".

Tony continued to look at the floor, as Ziva looked at him. She hadn't seen him this distressed since his relationship with Jeanne and she was genuinely worried about him.

"We're all here for you Tony, remember that" she said as she laid a comforting hand on his arm… but just then for a split second their eyes met and it was then that she quickly let go of him. "What just happened?" Ziva thought to herself. Everything that Ziva had (or hadn't) said to Tony was present in that split-second… but now really wasn't the time to reveal true feelings…

Tony was too lost in himself to even think on the subject of him and Ziva… he didn't know how to feel. On one hand, there was a young girl, who needed help badly, her life was in their hands. However, on the other hand, they were related? She looked too old to be his daughter. This would have made him in his late teens when it happened… if it happened…"no" thought Tony… impossible… can't be…".

Then McGee interrupted the moment, "Boss, the FBI will be sending the files over within the hour, I'm gonna go down to the lab and work on this e-mail with Abby".

Gibbs was still lost in his thoughts, "you do that McGee", then he left… to go to the director's office.


20 minutes later…

"Tony… Director's office" Gibbs yelled as he approached the bullpen.

Tony stood up without saying anything. He was starting to get impatient. Shouldn't McGee have tracked the e-mail by now? They were losing valuable time. He then began to make his way to Jenny's office.

"Hey, DiNozzo" shouted Gibbs, "it's gonna be OK, we'll figure this out"; it was a very reassuring tone but unfortunately, even Gibbs couldn't make Tony feel better… the confusion… the worry…

As soon as he walked in Cynthia pointed to the door "you can go straight in".

"Agent DiNozzo" Jenny greeted, "The FBI just sent me the files and I thought that you should see them on your own first… before then team".

"Thankyou", his shock hadn't lifted, Jenny looked as stunned as he did, then he sat down and looked at the plasma… for the information that could change his life forever.
