The Beginning of the Two Dads
Part V
Tony was at his desk in the squad room. He looked over at the empty desk of Tim's. It was Tim's final day at NCIS. He had left during his lunch to take his sister to the doctor. It was the day they would find out if they were really having a son or not.
Tony was anxious to know so he could tell everyone the gender so for the baby shower they could get the baby gifts. Gibbs walked over to his desk and glanced at Tim's empty desk, "He finding out?"
"He is." Tony said with a smile, "It feels surreal…it's been a few interesting years, to say the least." He thought back to the day he felt something for the probie. Then the whole wedding. Now a child was coming into his life. It was something he never thought was going to happen to him, especially with his track record of dating.
"Next thing you know, your kid will be asking to borrow the car." Gibbs looked at Tony to see his scared expression.
"That is scary to think about…" Tony looked around, "Where is Ziva?"
"Down in Abby's lab. Abby needed help with something…" Gibbs explained as he clicked on his computer.
"Will you miss him, boss?" Tony asked suddenly.
Gibbs looked up, "He's part of the team, DiNozzo." Gibbs frowned as he pressed random buttons on the keyboard; his computer had locked up, "Besides it'll only be temporarily."
Tony grinned, "True…" He got up from his desk and made his way over to his boss', "Computer broken?"
"It locked up…" Gibbs frowned as he backed away from the desk.
Tony went under and restarted it. He stood up, "There you go…"
"Thanks." He checked his watch, "Shouldn't he know by now?"
Tony nodded, "Anytime now, he'll call." He went back to his desk and plopped down in his chair.
"You two choose out names?" Gibbs asked watching his computer start back up.
"We were thinking Anthony for a boy. A girl…we had a list of names like Caitlin, Hannah…"
"Keeping the tradition of the Anthony name?" Gibbs looked up from his monitor surprised. He knew that Anthony DiNozzo Sr. wanted nothing to do with Tony and Tim.
"Yea…" Tony sighed, "If it's a boy Tim wanted him to be Anthony Jethro DiNozzo. What do you think?"
Gibbs grinned, "Sounds great."
Tony's phone went off; he smiled brightly as he answered it, "Probie! Is that you?" He looked at Gibbs and nodded, "And the verdict?"
Gibbs got out of his chair and made his way over to the younger agent's desk. He stood there waiting for Tony to tell him if it was a boy or not.
"A boy!" Tony exclaimed, "Are you on your way back? Alright, love you. Bye bye." He hung up and smiled at his boss, "A boy!"
Gibbs nodded a bit, "Congrats."
Tim exited the elevator and stopped when he saw balloons attached to his desk. Abby and Tony were putting a banner across it that said 'We'll miss you!' He smiled, debating on going over or just waiting until someone saw him. It was a bittersweet moment for him. He liked working at NCIS; it was a way to be with Tony every single day, every hour. Yet it was a step forwards in their relationship. A child was coming into their lives and he had to be there for his son.
He started walking to his desk, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"McGee!" Abby said as she gave him a hug, "You're having a boy!"
He hugged her and smiled at Tony who was watching them, "I know, Abby."
She let him go, giving him a big smile, "I am going to miss you so much…"
"I know…" He said softly, "I'll be back though…it may be for a few years but I will return."
Tony smiled. Gibbs came over and put his hand on Tim's shoulder, "We know you will and we'll make sure you get your desk back…"
"Thanks boss…" Tim said softly, looking at him.
Ducky and Jimmy went over to them. Jimmy held a cake, "Hey Tim…this is for you."
Tim looked at the cake; which said 'Congrats and We'll miss you'. He smiled at them, "Thanks."
They set it down and started cutting it up. Tim saw Ziva at her desk, not paying attention. He frowned. He knew how Ziva felt about his and Tony's relationship. He felt bad her for. He knew once his son was around it would take time for her to warm up to the idea. He brought a piece of cake over to her, "Here you go."
Ziva looked up from her monitor and smiled at bit, "Thanks." She took the plate from him.
Tim stared at her, wondering what he should say next. Ziva glanced over at him, "We all will miss you, McGee."
Tim nodded, "I'll miss you and the team too…"
"You'll visit, yes?" She asked, curious.
"Time to time I will." Tim smiled and left her to her cake. He went back over to Tony who took handed him some cake.
They had cake and everyone started to head home, but gave Tim a hug before leaving. Tony carried the balloons and banner with him as he followed his husband out to the parking garage. Tim was carrying a box of his things tightly, not all that excited over leaving work for a few years. Things could change drastically.
They put everything in the back seat and got into the car. They sat there for a while. Tony looked over at his husband, "How are you doing?"
"I…I am alright. Excited about our son coming but a bit upset over leaving work." Tim frowned as he stared down at his hands, "I…want to be there for our son though. So…"
Tony put his hand on Tim's, "Don't worry…everything will be fine. You'll forget about work once he comes…"
Tim looked at him and smiled, "You're right."
"I always am." Tony grinned and kissed him before starting up the car.
