The Beginning of the Two Dads

Part VI

Tim sat alone in his sister's guestroom. His sister was due in a few weeks, and as promised he was going to stay with her until the baby came. Just in case of any emergencies that caused him to take his sister to the hospital. Worse thing that could happen was Tim wouldn't be there and she'd end up going into labor with no one around to help.

Since his time leaving NCIS, he took up a few hobbies. He got back into writing novels again, using his personal challenges and experiences to help fuel inspiration. Also took up knitting. He figured with a child on the way he could knit up blankets and other things like that.

He and Tony decided to make the nursery a sage green color. So Tim was working on knitting a green blanket. Tim hadn't seen the nursery yet. Tony said while he was off at his sister's that he would decorate the nursery so it would be a surprise.

The waiting and not being at work was getting to Tim. Sure the hobbies helped get his mind off of things. The fact that he knew tony was out in the field most likely putting his life on the line, scared him. Scared him more than actually being there. Not knowing what was going on exactly caused him to be restless.

Tim was holding his cell phone in his hand as he sat there on the bed that he just made. He was waiting for Tony's morning call, and was going to wait for it before he started his day.

Mid ring Tim answered his phone, "Tony?"

"That's me" Tony said on the other line, "How did you sleep?"

"Not good…" Tim confessed as he picked at the comforter, "It's only been a week but I miss you…"

Most of the time Tony was unable to go to Sarah's due to last nights at the office. Tony cleared his throat, "Today I should be able to get out in time. I'll come over for dinner, alright?"

"Alright." Tim said with a sad sigh, "I love you."

"I love you, too." Tony told him as he made kissing sounds, before hanging up.

Tim got off the bed and went into the kitchen to get some breakfast. Craig came into the kitchen also, "Morning."

"Good morning." Tm said as he poured himself some cereal.

Craig grabbed some bread and put it in the toaster, "Sarah says the baby had been kicking her all night…"

"Must be eager to get out." Tim said with a grin, "It's almost time, Craig. You'll have her back."

"I know. At first I said it was alright but still was apprehensive about the whole thing." Craig admitted, "Yet she is so happy to do this for you two that I couldn't help but support her."

"You're a good man, Craig." Tim told him, as he poured milk into his cereal, "I am glad that it's you that will be marrying here and not some jerk…"

Craig smiled at him, "Thanks. That means a lot."

Tony was out at a crime scene taking pictures; he looked over at the man who temporarily replaced Tim. His name was Evan Norman; he had short black hair and brown eyes. He was a bit chubby but was the same height as Tony. He reminded Tony of Tim, except Evan took shyness to whole other level.

Evan had gone to a small technical school to join the fight using computers. Doing so he somehow ended up being recruited into NCIS. They put him with Gibbs' and the team since Tim left. He was a great addition but everyone still missed Tim.

Tony made great strides to make sure Evan felt welcomed. He didn't want him to come in and feel like he was only a temp. He took him under his wing and helped teach him the ways of being an agent.

Evan yelled over to him, "Hey Tony! I found something!"

Tony went over and saw Evan had found a bullet casing, "Nice work, probie." He took a picture, "Bag that up for Abby."

Evan nodded and did so. Tony saw how the other man grinned at Abby's name. He knew very well that Evan had a little crush on her. And he loved to mess around with that, "Abby will be excited…to see you and the evidence."

Evan looked at him, "Y-You think so?"

Tony laughed, "I think so, probie!"

Evan grinned happily as he sealed the bag, he stood up, "Did you talk to Tim today?"

"I did. He is lonely but the baby comes any day now…" Tony explained as they made their way back to car.

"You must be excited."

"Of course." Tony smiled at him, "Few weeks after the birth we'll have a little gathering. You should come."

"I don't know…" Evan said a bit nervous, "Tim doesn't know me and you guys and the team have been together for years…"

"Remember what I said?" Tony started, "You're a great asset to our team. I would be delighted if you came to see the baby."

"Really?" Evan asked, surprised.

"Of course." Tony patted him on the back.

Tim was helping Sarah tidy up the house while Craig was gone to work. He put away some books, "Craig is a good man."

Sarah who plopped down on the couch, holding her belly smiled, "That's why I love him."

"I am glad that he is very supportive…" Tim said as he dusted off the TV, "Soon you'll be baby free…and you two can spend quality time together without the baby bump."

"Which I look forward to." Sarah said with a smile, "I mean I'll be an aunt and I am excited about that. And then baby free will be nice."

Tim finished cleaning and sat down next to her, "May I?"

"He is your son." Sarah smiled.

Tim put his hand on his sister's belly and felt the baby kick, "Aw."

"He knows it's you." Sarah smiled, "You never told me if you two decided on a name…"

"We planned on Anthony. Middle name not sure yet…" Tim told her, "Keep up with the DiNozzo tradition even though Tony doesn't speak with his dad."

"You don't speak with ours either." Sarah pointed out, "You should have seen his face when I came into his home pregnant. He almost had an aneurism when I told him why I was pregnant."

Tim frowned, "Is he still mad at you?"

"Nope. He got over it." Sarah explained as she put her hand on her belly too, "I mean…he finally gets that we're old enough now to do what we want."

"Yet he doesn't accept me and Tony." Tim sighed, "I'd be upset over that still but I have Tony and soon Anthony. Plus you and the team…"

"You have a good family, Tim." Sarah looked at him and smiled, "And they love you."
