"Were waiting DiNozzo," commanded Gibbs, giving Tony a death stare.
"Well you see, it's kind of a funny story. You know that as a great movie," said Tony trying to change the topic. Gibbs knew this and just gave him another Gibbs stare. "Okay boss, but I don't think our going t like what I have to say," stated DiNozzo.
"Try me DiNozzo," responded Gibbs.
Tony took a deep breath, hoping to stall but Ziva got impatient. "Tony would you just tell us why you lied about calling in sick already. What, did you not want to leave one of your blonde bimbos alone this time. tired of a one-night stand? Going for two nights?"
"No! I gave up one-night stands. I'm to old for that," retorted Tony sounding embarrassed and glancing towards Jeanne, much to the surprise of Ziva and Gibbs.
"Well then what is it Tony and who is she," Ziva practically screamed at him.
"Zi would you relax!" Tony screamed in response. "It's not that big of a deal. Now shut up and let me explain. Okay?" added Tony much more softer.
"Fine Tony, but hurry up we have an investigation to do." Said Ziva.
"Okay, so I guess I'll start with our second question, since that will be the easiest to answer. This is Jeanne, she's a doctor here and she's also my girlfriend. We've been dating for almost three months. Now I'll answer your second question, just don't interrupt. This is going to sound ridiculous and I know that you both will be mad at me. so will McGee, Ducky, and Abby most of all. Oh yeah, Abby's gonna be pissed. So here goes. I have daughter she's thirteen. Here name is Aimee, but I call her Bambi cause bambino in Italian is baby but her favorite movie growing up as a kid was Bambi, so I shortened it to Bambi. You know instead of Bambino? Well anyways, her mom pretty much ditched us, because she wanted an abortion but I wanted Aimee so she agreed to have her, but have no part of her. The reason why I'm at the hospital right now is because Aimee was sick when I woke up today and then she lost consciousness so then I called 911 and then I ended up here, and yeah," finished Tony, taking a deep breath expecting the worst.
"You could have told us DiNozzo," Gibbs said.
"Well yeah I know Boss, but," started Tony
"I understand why you didn't," finished Gibbs cutting Tony off.
"So your not mad," asked Tony tentatively.
"DiNozzo. I probably wouldn't have told my boss about Kelly if I were an agent just starting. You wanted to protect her. Keep her out of danger. The best way to do that is if no one even knows about her to begin with."
"Thanks Boss," said Tony. "What about you Ziva?" Tony asked fearing that it would ruin his relationship with his partner.
"You what you thought was right. You wanted to protect her Tony. It might have been the smartest thing you have ever done. Like Gibbs said, no one can hurt her if no one knows about her," said Ziva , admiring what Tony had did and what sacrifices he had made for his child. "Besides. I'm sure McGee will love the leverage," added Ziva with a smirk on her face.
"I guess he kinda deserves it," Tony stated.
"Why would McGee deserve it Tony. What did you do? Because I swear to god DiNozzo if you did anything to my desk I will find a paperclip," Ziva ended threateningly.
"Would you relax ninja. I just might have put a little something on his keyboard." Tony said.
"If he needs nail polish remover again DiNozzo, you're buying it, and with that Gibbs left the room.
"Looks like I'm stopping by Walgreenz," muttered Tony.
"Well I have to go. It was nice meeting you Jeanne. I must say you must be a miracle worker," said Ziva heading to the door. Jeanne gave her a questioning look. "Well if you broke Tony of one-night stands," said Ziva holding up her hands, then turning around and exiting the room jogging to catch up to Gibbs.
"So that was your team?" Jeanne asked turning around to face Tony.
"There not just my team, there my family," responded Tony turning down to face Jeanne. "That's why it was so hard to tell them the truth. It could have ruined everything. I know that it'll take at least a day for Abby to get over the fact that I lied to her for almost six years. Which means more black flowers."
"What?" asked Jeanne giggling.
"It's a long story," responded Tony brushing his lips against hers. Then he guided her out of the hallway and started back to the waiting room.
"Oh Tony wrong way. Aimee just got moved to room 307," Said Jeanne pulling Tony in the opposite direction that he was headed.
"Is she awake now?" asked Tony worry evident in his voice.
"I don't know. I guess we'll find out.
Tony smiled to himself. He was glad that there was a we. He didn't think he would be able to make it through this without her, and that's when it hit him. Maybe Ziva was right, Jeanne was a miracle worker. He was no longer the sexist pig that he use to be. He genuily cared about Jeanne and this was the first time he had felt like that about a women. He put that thought in the back of his mind deciding to talk to Aimee when she woke up. Because she had to wake up. Didn't she?
