A/N THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! KEEP 'EM GOING ;D
Hey there, it's me again, sorry it took so long to update, I am in the middle of my Maths final exams, so i want to finish them and do them well before my brain goes back to 100% fandom... :)
But here is chapter 2
Chi
They walked to the elevator and Rebecca took Tony's right hand, and Ziva's left. They stayed like that until the elevator dinged, and Tony lifted her up so she could press the button to the 3rd floor.
They slowly walked the short distance from the elevator to the squad room, and only then did they untangle their hands from each others. Tony sat on his desk while Ziva pulled up a chair and sat in facing him. Rebecca immediately climbed on the desk and settled once again in Tony's lap. They looked at each other somewhat awkwardly while Rebecca made herself comfortable in Tony's arms.
""Ok, so, Rebecca, tell me what happened, from the beginning" said Ziva tenderly. Becca looked at Tony doubtfully and he nodded, encouraging her. She looked back at Ziva, took a few big breaths and started telling them her recollection of the day's events.
"I was playing at Jane's house, then her mommy took me home. I goed inside and dad wasn't there, but there was a man on the floor."
Tony interrupted her. "Did you know this man?" He asked.
She nodded frantically "yes, his name is Hayden. I see him around the house, he was a friend of my mommy. He is nice, but daddy is mean to him. I heard them fight a lot of times." she said with a now scared expression on her face.
"What happened after you found the man?" Asked Ziva.
"I walked outside and I tried to find the police because mommy kept telling me that if something happens I have to find the police."
"Well, your mommy was right, it's good you found me." Said Tony, his voice trembling a little because his thoughts led him back to his own mother. Rebecca didn't like Tony's silence, so she turned around and pulled his hair. He shrieked and she giggled. That was the amazing thing about children, what Tony admired about them, they could be sad and then become happy as soon as someone says the right thing.
They heard the familiar ding of the elevator and all three looked up to see Gibbs and McGee walking in, having finished to process the crime scene. Tony leaned down and whispered something in Becca's ear, she turned around and whispered something back. Gibbs saw Tony nod at her, before putting his things down on his desk. Gibbs crouched down and shook Rebecca's hand.
"Hey kid, I'm Gibbs" he told her.
"I'm Rebecca" was her answer. Rebecca looked at him and studied his features. She liked to be observant, and she loved looking at people trying to figure them out. Ziva reckons she would make an amazing profiler growing up.
McGee started walking towards them, to introduce himself, he crouched down like Gibbs earlier but didn't get to shake her hand, as she shouted out:
"HEY PROBIE!"
The whole 3rd floor erupted in laughter, while Tony high fived Rebecca, over the laughter, you could just barely make out "did I say it right?" and then even McGee couldn't suppress a smile at the new "dynamic duo". He would never tell him that, but Tony seemed great with her, and he was kind of looking forward to seeing him with his own child later on in life.
After the laughter died down, Gibbs took Rebecca's hand
"Rebecca, let's go!"
"Where are we going, Gibbs?"
"Conference room" was his answer. Rebecca looked puzzled.
"Are we going to have a conference?"
Gibbs smiled, "no you are going to wait here at NCIS until we find out what happened to Hayden."
He heard his phone ring
"Yea, Gibbs"
"Hey boss" came Tony's voice from the cell. "We identified the victim as Lt. Hayden Green, he worked with Rebecca's mother, and after she died 2 years ago he stayed in touch with Rebecca's father. We called him and he is on his way."
"All right, send McGee up here to stay with Rebecca".
"Will do, boss" and he hung up.
McGee looked happily at the kid dancing on top of the desk.
"TIMMY!" shouted Rebecca. "GIMME A HUG" she demanded.
She was a hugger, no wonder she always seemed to be in Tony's arms.
He walked over to her and put his arms around her middle. She was as tall as him when she was standing on the desk, and she could hug him without being uncomfortable. Her eyes glinted as a mischievous look passed on her features, right before she made a farting noise with her mouth which caused McGee to step back rather quickly. She was roaring with laughter and McGee looked exasperated.
"Oh no, not another DiNozzo"
Tony knocked on the door and came in carrying ice cream.
"Hey Becca Becky Becs, I scream for ice cream" said Tony happily. She jumped up and down and hugged him tight, and it didn't even surprise him this time. He put the ice cream down on the table and put her on her lap.
"So, Becca, your daddy is on his way here." said Tony. Rebecca jumped up her happy expression turning into one of fright in a heartbeat. She looked at Tony and started crying, big, heavy sobs shaking her while Tony kept her close.
"I don't want to see my dad, don't make me, please don't make me" she pleaded. This did not sound like a normal tantrum that children sometimes made, this sounded like a seriously scared child that did not even want to see her dad. And she was four years old. Tony's feeling changed every second. He went from being devastated that she was sad, to curious as to what happened, finally settling for anger at what her father did to her, if even a small child was terrified to be in the same room at him.
