Hey I know that not everyone is a big fan of Jeanne/Tony and I'm not that much of a fan either, but read it anyways.
Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS.
Tony grabbed his phone and called his boss, feeling slightly nervous. "Um… hey boss. I um… can't come in today," he said rather shakily.
"And why would that be DiNozzo?" asked Gibbs rather menacingly.
"I'm sick," Tony blurted out. He braced himself for yelling but after a few seconds of no sound he glanced down at his screen and saw that he had been disconnected. "All right then. Now for the hard part." Tony felt his heart grow heavier when he reached the J's in his contact list. His girlfriend had been looking forward to this particular date for almost a month, and he couldn't believe he had to take it away from her. But his daughter came first, even with ladies. When the phone stopped ringing and he heard her all to unfamiliar voice on the other line he put on a fake smile. "Hey babe," said Tony noting the to much enthusiasm in his voice.
"All right Tony, what is it?" Jeanne asked, knowing that even Tony couldn't be that enthused about something.
"You know that I love very much right?" Tony asked.
Jeanne could hear the guilt in his voice and started to panic. "Tony is everything okay?"
"Well, no. Not everything," responded Tony wishing that it was just a bad dream. "You know that date we have for tonight?"
"Of course, I've been looking forward to it all month," said Jeanne. "Why?"
"Well…" started Tony.
"No, Tony! You can't do this to be! You can't cancel not now. I all ready got someone to cover my shift," screamed Jeanne while Tony moved the receiver away from his ear.
"Look, Jeanne. It's not that I want to cancel. I really don't, it's just… something came up." Said Tony after all the yelling receded.
"What was more important than our date?" asked Jeanne sounded extremely annoyed.
Tony knew that he only had one choice if he wanted to keep her from breaking up with him. He knew that they had been through too much to let a little vomit ruin all of it. After Jeanne had found out the truth about Tony, he had all most lost her. But they both had known that his feelings had changed and they both knew that they were in love. So Tony knew that it was time to come clean. No more secrets at all, besides, he thought, the first secret was far worst than the last he hoped. "Look Jeanne, you're a doctor, and I might need a doctor. Do you think you might wanna come by my house today?" Tony asked.
"Tony are you okay. I mean you're not hurt are you?" Jeanne asked the panic returning to her voice.
"I'm completely fine, but there's something you need to see. Or know about. I'm not really sure which. I think it may be both?" said Tony starting to ponder out loud.
"I'll be there in five minutes," said Jeanne hurriedly, obviously worrying about her boyfriend.
Tony hung up his phone and walked over to his daughter. He had no idea how he was going to break this news to Jeanne. He was so involved with his thoughts that he didn't notice Aimee starting to stir.
"Dad! Why am I not in school!" Aimee screamed. Just before clutching her stomach and grabbing for the bucket.
Tony was so shocked at the sudden interruption that he fell off the couch. When he saw what was happening before him. He moved over to sit next to his daughter and started to rub circles on her back, knowing quit well that it's not fun throwing up.
"Oh, that's why," Aimee, said when she was finally able to breath after her long fit of losing her food.
"Yeah," said Tony moving his hand from her back to her forehead checking her temperature. "Oh My God! Aimee you're burning up," exclaimed Tony. He jumped up and ran to the kitchen much to Aimee's amusement. He was back in less than a minute with a thermometer. He shoved it in Aimee's mouth and started pacing.
A minute later when it finally beeped and Aimee was blue from holding in her laughs Tony turned around and grabbed the thermometer.
"You're at one-hundred and one. Go up stairs. If it goes any higher your going to the hospital," ordered Tony.
"But dad," whined Aimee.
"Sorry Bambi, but you have to." Stated Tony using his pet name for her.
"But there's no TV. Can't I just lay on the couch? I'll be really quit I promise. Plus it'll make it easier to check on me," pleaded Aimee.
"All right fine," said Tony giving up and not wanting to make Aimee argue. Then he remembered where his girlfriend was going. "Hey, I'm gonna have a friend come over. She's a doctor," said Tony trying to comfort both of them.
"Dad, I know she's your girlfriend," said Aimee. "And I'm guessing she doesn't know about me?"
"No, not yet." Said Tony.
Aimee felt her heart crack in half. She couldn't stand to hear the guilt in her dads voice. "Look, dad, it's okay. You're telling her now. Is this the same one with work?"
"Yeah, yeah it is." Responded Tony.
"It'll be okay dad, just relax. Everyone loves me. I'm a DiNozzo." Laughed Aimee flashing a grin identical to one of Tony's.
Then there was a knock on the front door.
