About 4 months later

Tony paced outside a hospital room door. He itched to be by Kates side, but once they said it was a false labor he had left the crowded room. His thoughts turned back to Kates doctor. He had perfect hair, a great job, and a great smile. He creeped Tony out and made Kate blush, and he did not like that. He shook his head, back to the situation at hand. One doctor, three nurses, and him just didn't fit. Soon after the nurses had left, Kate and Tony were informed that the three of them were being hospitalized over night. Tony went over to the couch, laying down. He rolled over a few times before getting as comfortable as possible.

Kate giggled at him, he looked like a teenager trying to sleep in a toddlers bed. "Goodnight, Tony"

"Night Kate."

Around 3 o clock in the morning, Tony woke up to Kates startled cry. "Kate, what is it?"

"My water just broke." She gasped, looking around for the button to call the nurse.

Tony jumped and ran to the nearest nurses station. He stopped to catch his breath and found himself smiling.

The nurses asked him what was wrong and he just smiled, "My wife's water just broke. Shes in room 208"

The nurses gave each other looks, paged the doctor, and they all went back to Kates room.

He walked in and grabbed Kates hand, "Don't worry, theyve paged Dr. McSteamy."

Kate played along, though in pain, "After all of this is over, Im thinking of leaving you for him."

Tony smiled, "Thats impossible Kate because you are irreversibly and whole heartedly in love with me."

Kate cocked an eyebrow, "Oh yeah, DiNozzo? And how do you know this?"

"Because, Todd, I feel the same way." They locked eyes for a short moment before another of Kates contractions came. This time, the nurses were pushing Tony out of the way trying to get everything set up and ready for the delievery. And what seemed like an eternity later, Tony was cutting the cord of little Abigail DiNozzo. All of a sudden, machines started beeping and the nurses started panicking.

"Can I see her?" Kate murmured sleepily from the bed."

Tony was about to bring their daughter over to Kate when one of the nurses stopped him, "Shes bleeding out and we need to stabilize her first" She said quietly before speaking louder to Kate, "In just a moment honey. You did great. Youre daughter is beautiful."

Kate smiled and closed her eyes. Tony stood in the corner, holding Abigail and watching in horror as the doctors tried to save his wife. Seeing their attempts fail, he realized that he would be raising this baby alone. He fought the sea of nurses to get to Kates bedside before it was too late. "Kate." he shook her gently and her eyes opened weakly. He smiled and she smiled back, "I want you to meet Abigail Elizabeth DiNozzo. Abby, meet your mommy."

Kate smiled at her daughter. "Hi." was all Tony heard as the nurses crowded around Kate again and he was pushed to the edge of the room.

Tony watched with tears in his eyes as the doctors and the nurses slowed their movements and Kate slipped away from them. He couldnt believe it. Even though he had been staring at that flat line for what seemed like forever, it still didn't seem real.

The doctor and the nurses came and laid a hand on Tony's shoulder before exiting the room. "We'll give you a few moments."

Tony nodded and made his way over to Kate and grabbed her hand, all the while holding Abby to his chest. A tear rolled down his cheek, "Katie?" he sniffed, knowing full well that she wasnt going to wake up from this, "I love you." he choked out, wanting to say more but Abby gave a small squeal. "What, baby?" he asked, trying to figure out what she wanted as her squeaks became more feverent.

The nurse came in with as understanding eye, "She needs to eat. Do you want me to feed her?"

"No, thanks. W- we were going to breast feed..." he paused, looking back at Kate, "So I don't have any formula or anything. Can you tell me what to do?" he asked desperately.

The nurse nodded, "Come with me." She said sympathetically.
