Chapter 2: I'm a dad?!
The test results were back and it was me. I was a dad to a child whose mother is a terrorist. Abby was the first and only one to talk while we were in the lab. "Meet Miss Carmendy, daughter of Anthony DiNozzo Jr." Abby announced. She looked at me. "Carmendy Anne DiNozzo. Has a nice ring to it."
I was freaking out on the inside, but I stayed normal for the sake of Carmendy. Abby walked over to the printer and grabbed the results. I had to bring them to the courtroom to get custody of her. We all walked out of the lab and into the elevator, still speechless. Gibbs looked over and said "You two leave; take tomorrow off and Ziva with you so that you can get the custody papers signed, and get this sorted out by the time you come back." As we got out of the elevator.
After grabbing some things from mine and Ziva's desks, and checking to make sure that we had the custody papers, since the first time we left them and had to go back, and everything else needed. We got into my mustang and we took off toward the courthouse. The first thing we did when we got there is go through security, which didn't take long at all, because Ziva and I had our badges.
After taking 4 wrong turns and asking 2 times for directions, which by the way were not necessary, we found the room. We walked in and there was a judge who looked at me as I handed her the papers of the results. She gave me like fifty papers to sign and initial, and gave Ziva the witness paper. Then she looked over at Carmendy "You are gorgeous, I love your hair, and your eyes are the perfect shade of emerald. You are a lucky girl to look so pretty!" She said.
I just looked over and noticed just how much we looked alike. She had my dark hair, except the wavy was from her mother, she had skin that I could tell she had been tanning, because her mother was ghostly pale and I was not that dark myself. Also, she had my emerald green eyes. As I looked at her I also realized how annoyed she got at that comment from the judge.
When the papers were all signed she handed me a birth certificate that had just had the 'Father's name' part added on to it. Her name was Carmendy Anne DiNozzo now, her birthday was June 25th 1999, which meant she was 13 years old.
Walking out of the courthouse, we had a very large sum of money, because all of her VERY wealthy mother's money came to us when she went to Gitmo. Eventually we made our way to the car and pulled out of the courthouse.
While we were on the way home, we passed a subdivision with a sign that said OPEN HOUSE. I realized that I lived in a one bedroom apartment, and I couldn't live the rest of my life sleeping on the couch. I stopped short and pulled into the subdivision, where I saw a perfect house. She yelped and I realized that she was not used to stopping short and the seatbelt probably hurt her.
"Sorry, I just remembered I have a one bedroom apartment and I don't think that you want to share a bedroom with me." I said laughingly.
We walked into the house, since it was an open house and looked around. I saw a kitchen, a living room, the master bedroom, a staircase leading downstairs and upstairs, and an island. Then I walked into the master bedroom and it was amazing. I took a trip to the basement and saw what could potentially be my 'Man Cave'. Needless to say, I liked the house.
I walked back upstairs to see that Carmendy was also smiling. We heard the door open and saw a blonde peppy lady walk through and Ziva reached for her gun. I touched her hand to keep her from shooting the innocent Real Estate Agent. "Hi! My name is Lisa Lockwood. I am the real estate agent here. I noticed you come into the house, so here I am." She said loudly.
"We are interested, how much are you selling this apartment for?" I asked.
"After all of the deductions, one hundred ten thousand dollars." She said smiling.
Then I looked at Carmendy and Ziva, who I knew meant a lot to the both of them. "Campfire"I said.
Carmendy just looked at me blackly as I signaled her over and we started whispering.
"This house is big and cheap; I snatch up the deal before she realized how cheap she's letting it go for." I said
"Ya and you can even run to work on the warmer days to get rid of the hibernation weight." Ziva stated, laughing.
Carmendy joined in laughing as I spoke again. "Very funny guys."
"Let's buy it, considering that you are most likely going to use my money that I inherited." Carmendy said.
"Ya, we share it, that is what the contract said." I replied
Me and Carmendy looked at each other and nodded. Then I spoke up. "We'll take it."
She gave me lots of papers to sign and Carmendy and Ziva went upstairs to what would be her bedroom. I started signing the papers, fully grasping the situation. "How early can we take it?" I asked.
"It's all yours." She replied walking out of the house.
Then Carmendy and I ran around claiming rooms like little children while Ziva just shook her head laughing. We made a mutual agreement that she got all of upstairs and I got the master bedroom and the basement.
Now that we had a house it was time for furniture shopping. Boy would that be interesting.
