Chapter Three:

Kate wasn't really sure why she was standing on the steps of Tony's house that night. She could see the faint glare of the T.V. screen through the closed drapes and she knew that they were probably watching a movie or something. The last two days, though, had been really weird for her. First, finding out about Nikola and Alexandria had been tough, and then hearing the whole amazing story about Tony's background. When Gibbs had brought up Tony's father had been a tough one, too. The way Gibbs talked about Tony's father; you would think that he was Satan. Then again, Tony had once told her that he had been kicked out of the house for choosing not to go to Harvard when he was sixteen, and what kind of man would do that to his son but a completely evil one?

Kate was now sitting on the steps just looking in at the faint glow coming from the inside of the house. If something ever happened to Tony, what would happen to Nikola, she had no other family other than Tony's supposedly hard-ass father.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't even realize when the door opened and closed and she shook her head and looked up into the shocked face of her co-worker.

Tony blinked, completely shocked at his friend sitting there on his porch. He didn't say anything; he just sat down next to her and looked forward, not really at anything, just forward.

"Gibbs told you guys everything, huh?" Tony asked, finally breaking the silence. "Is that why you are here?"

Kate looked down at the ground. She wasn't really sure what to say.

"Do you want to meet her?" Tony asked, realizing that she wasn't about to comment.

Kate looked at him.

"Why are you out here?" she asked.

Tony smiled, "I was going to run to the store for ice cream, we ran out in the middle of Die Another Day."

She nodded, "James Bond?" she asked rubbing her cold arms.

Tony smiled, slipping his jacket off and putting it around her shoulders. "You know it."

Kate sighed. "I would like to meet her." She said.

Tony smiled and began to get up before Kate pulled him back down. "Why did you keep all of this a secret from us?"

"Everything is a secret, Kate," Tony replied, "In case you've never noticed, I'm pro at undercover work, and that is because all my life has been one big secret. I was trained that way by my father."

"Well, I think that he was wrong to treat you like he did," Kate said.

Tony smiled slightly. "My father is a very powerful man; he wanted me and Katalina to be that way, too. We didn't want it. I wanted to be a cop and Lina wanted to teach kindergarten."

Kate grinned. "How did you afford college and a baby when you were so young?"

Tony smiled, "The key was, I didn't eat a lot, and what I did eat was those dried noodles that you add hot water too, you know? Couldn't afford to buy myself a lot of food, I had to ration it; babies need lots of care, and lots of money. I had a babysitter for Nikki and I worked a full time night job, attended classes in the day. I pretty much went for four years without sleeping."

"I think that you would be a great dad."

"Well, I like to think that I am. Not too strict, not too lenient. Nikki is my best friend, and I am hers. We've been through a lot together."

"Yeah, I suppose so." She thought for a moment. "We have a really dangerous job, if something were to happen to you, where would she go?"

Tony smiled. "Well, as it is set in my will, if I die custody would go to Gibbs, if he dies custody would go to Abby, then Ducky, then you and then McGee."

"Me and McGee?" Kate asked with a smile. "But what if something happened to McGee?"

"Kate, if all six of us die in the two years before she turns eighteen then she'll probably need a mental hospital not a guardian." Tony laughed.

Kate smiled despite herself, "Yeah, I guess so."

Tony stood up and offered Kate his hand, which she took, smiling. He pulled her up and led her into the house.

The first thing that Kate noticed was how nice it was. The second thing that she noticed was a figure on a couch in the living room to the left flipping through a magazine because her movie was on pause. She smiled: it was on pause because they ran out of ice cream.

"You're back quick," The girl said from the couch, not looking up.

Tony frowned as he took his coat from Kate and hung it on the coat rack, leading her into the living room.

"You need to pay better attention, I could have…."

"I know, I know," Nikola said, turning around. "You could have been a burglar." Seeing Kate, Nikola quickly stood allowing Kate a good look at the girl.

She looked a lot like Tony, but Kate guessed that was normal seeing as Tony is her biological uncle and Nikola's mother was Tony's twin. She had the same skin tone and green eyes as Tony but she had long, flowing, natural dark blonde hair and was just maybe five foot three inches tall.

"Dad, who is this?" Nikola asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Nikk, honey, this is Kate Todd, from work."

Nikki's eyes suddenly got that tinge in them that Tony's always got when he got excited about something. She smiled big and reached forward to shake hands with Kate before pulling it back and shrugging, showing Kate the tissue that she had in her hand.

"Kate, it is so good to meet you, I've heard a lot about you." She said.

Kate smiled; already it was clear that Nikola had that same infectious humour of her father's/uncles, how did that work anyway? She called him dad, probably because he's raised her adopted her, Kate would guess.

"It's really nice to meet you, too, Nikola," Kate smiled.

Nikki smiled at her dad for a moment before clearing her throat, "You know what, I'm actually just going to go to bed, we can finish the movie tomorrow, okay, daddy?"

Tony looked shocked, "No Nikk, we'll finish it tonight, you can't be that tired." He pleaded. "Come on, stay up for daddy, you know you want to."

Nikki smiled, "Alright," she laughed, "I suppose that I can," she smiled, "I just need to go to the bathroom, I will be back."

"You'd better or I'll come and drag you out of your bed!" Tony called after her retreating figure, causing her to laugh.

Kate smiled, "So, there is one thing that I want to ask you. When did you tell Gibbs about Nikki and Alexandria? And how long has she called them Grandpa, Great Grandpa and Aunty."

Tony smiled, "Well, you see Kate, here's how that happened…"
