Ziva had been put on desk work since she was about eight months along. Jen worked in her office she was a few weeks behind Ziva. They were both due in August. It was already the last week in July, Jackson had turned six only a few months ago and had been excited about a new brother or sister. The team had helped me put together the nursery, Jen had fallen in love with it the minute we had showed her. I had also helped tony and Ziva put together their nursery. They had been married about two months and were excited for the next step in life. There had been a happy atmosphere around the office for a long time.

When August did come it was a quiet morning when it happens. Ziva had come in with Tony because he didn't want her home alone with the due date in a few days.. She had been sitting at her desk when Tony left to go get some food for her. She was sitting there looking towards me strangely.

"Ziva?" I asked carefully.

"Gibbs... I I I think it's time..." She mumbled and I nodded calling an ambulance and than Tony.

"Alright Ziva just breath and you'll be alright." She nodded and took deep breaths as Tony walked in. I watched as the team left for the hospital I had told them to call when they had news. After the left I turned and smiled as I saw a figure above me I waved towards her but she hadn't notice. Letting out a small whistle she jumped slightly as I waved and her again she waved back and smiled as well she than motioned for me to come up to her office.

I took the stairs two at a time I didn't even bother stoping by Cynthia as I walked in closing the door behind me. I found Jen sitting on the couch in her office so I carefully sat down beside her. Pulling her back into me I felt her lean her head against my chest. Sitting there in silence I could hear her even breathing as I rang my hand through her hair.

"Jethro?" Her voice was soft and quiet.

"Yes Jen?"

"I'm scared..."

"Of what?"

"What if something happens to this little one? What if for some reason something goes wrong? What if this little one doesn't survive this? What if I don't survive it?" I lifted my hand up as I covered her mouth gently kissing the top of her head.

"Shh.." I whispered softly "Jen you've gotta stop worrying think positive everything is going to be okay." She just nodded as she looked towards me.

We had been sitting up in her office not moving for at least two hours, I was still sitting on the couch, but Jen had waddled off towards the bathroom. Just as she sat back down my phone rang and carefully I answered it.

"Gibbs?"

"Hey Boss.. It's Tony. Ziva had a little boy.. Anthony Jethro David DiNozzo."

"That's great DiNozzo congrats I'm happy for both of you. I'll be by to visit soon." With that I hung up.

"Jen they had a little boy." She smiled as she looked up at me. Carefully I helped her up and to the elevator. "I'm taking you home you need to rest."

After dropping Jenny off at home I went up to visit my two agents at the hospital I smiled as I looked towards them.

"You two did great. I'm happy for both of you."

"Thanks.." Ziva said before drifting off to sleep. I walked out of the room with Tony and before I had the chance to leave he stopped me.

"Gibbs I've got a question."

"Alright I'm listening."

"You know how me and Ziva use to be Jaspers godparents.. Well we were wondering if you and Jenny would be little AJ's godparents?"

"Oh yes of course Tony, we'd be honored." I said with a smile.

"So what are you gonna do about this one I mean godparent wise?"

"Well since Ducky and Kate are Jackson, and you and Ziva were Jaspers I think it'll only be fair to make Abby and McGee this ones godparents is that alright with you Tony?"

"Yes of course I wanted to ask because I didn't want to make Abby feel bad you know how important these things are to her."

"Yeah true. Well I'll let you get back to your family DiNozzo I've gotta get back to mine. Talk to you later." With that I was gone.

It had been two weeks since Ziva had Anthony she was home with him all the time and tony came in when he could I was pretty flexible with his hours because I knew how hard it was to take care of a young child especially one that was up all night long. I had done that twice, with Kelly and than the twins, I would be doing that again in only a few days.

It was a quiet weekend I had given the team the day off. They had all come over for a picnic, Jackson was playing on the swing set with Abby and Kate. Ziva sat in a chair holding little Anthony. Ducky sat in one of the chairs as well beside Jenny they were deep in conversation. McGee and Palmer were talking amongst themselves why Tony was helping me in the kitchen.

"How life as a father DiNozzo?"

"You could have warned me it was gonna be tough boss." He said smiling as he looked towards me.

"I could have but what fun would that have been?" I asked as I handed him a plate of food.

"That is true, should have known better than that. " he said as he took the plate. Just as I was about to pick up the other plate I heard a commotion in the backyard and before I had time to react I heard Ducky shout.

"Jethro! Get out here!" He said with the worry in his voice I knew something was up. Setting the plate back down before I dropped it I took off outside there I found Jen with her eyes closed leaning back in the chair breathing heavy.

"She okay Duck?"

"I think she's in labor Jethro.. Timothy just called an ambulance they should be here soon we'll stay and watch Jackson for you."

With a nod I helped Jen out to the front where we were greeted by the paramedics. They helped her into the ambulance and as I climbed in beside her they drove off to the hospital. I never let her side as she was taken down to one of the delivery rooms. We waited a little while for the doctor to come in.

When he did we nodded listening to him I could tell Jen was getting impatient so I took ahold of her hand. As soon as I took her hand her hand wrapped around squeezing it tightly I could tell she was in pain.

"Jen it's gonna be okay I'm right here I'm not leaving" she nodded as she looked towards me. She took a deep breath as she began to push. After a few times the room was filled with the sound of crying I smiled and looked towards her she was sweaty and out of breath as she looked towards me. Carefully I leaned over giving her a kiss.

"You did great Jen" a smile came across her face as I said that. Just than the doctor turned to look at us.

"Congrats Mr & Mrs. Gibbs you have a healthy baby girl." He said I smiled and hugged Jen.

Carefully I took our little girl handing her to Jen who smiled as she looked towards me than back towards her.

"What should we name her Jen?"

"I was thinking Paula."

"How about Paula Abigail Gibbs" She looked towards me and nodded.

"That's perfect Jethro I love it.."

"I love you both." I said kissing her forehead as I took Paula "now get some rest you need it." She nodded as she laid back closing her eyes.

As soon as the nurse took Paula I left the room letting Jenny sleep as I called the team.

A few hours later the team had come and we're all gathered outside of the nursery. As I walked over Jackson hugged me.

"Is it true daddy? I have a little sister?" I smiled and nodded.

"Yes buddy it's true." He started jumping up and down at this. I took his hand as I lead him down to Jenny's room the team following close behind us. Jenny smiled as she saw them, and hugged Jackson. They sat there talking for awhile before leaving I took Jackson home leaving Jenny alone to sleep again.

Another two weeks passed Anthony was a month old and Paula was two weeks old. Both were on the floor in Jenny's office playing with each other. It was September once again and Jack had gone back to school. Our family was complete.

Going up to Jens office I smiled at the sight that unfolded in front of me. On her shelf that usually held bourbon was not only bourbon bottles but baby bottles lines the shelves as well. On her desk was paperwork, more bottles, and pacifiers you looked in her drawers and the bottom one was full of diapers, extra clothes, pacifiers, formula and extra bottles. The top drawer was all her worked stuff shoved into one. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight that unfolded in front of me.

Jenny hadn't been in there when I walked in I hadn't noticed her walk in till I heard two noises from behind me when I turned I saw Jen holding both Paula and Anthony.

"Can I help you Jethro?"

"Nah just figured I'd come and check up on you. Seems like you've got everything sorted out. "

"If your talking about the shape my office is in it's like that because I'm not only running and agency in caring for two small children. I could always take care of Paula from home which means Ziva would have to work from home as well."

Shaking my head I took Paula from her "no it's fine usually you're office is neat and I mean very neat it just surprised me it's like this."

"You try work with two little ones all day you'll understand." I just nodded.

Ziva had come in and took Anthony after thanking Jen she grabbed Anthony's things and left. Helping Jen clean up a little bit we both left going home. We picked Jack up from school first before heading home. Naomi had already made dinner for us, she had been helping us more often since Paula arrived and Jen was grateful for her help. As the night wore on Paula was up in the crib Jack and Jen were snuggled up asleep on the couch. I smiled at the sight. I cleaned up around the house before taking Jackson upstairs. Coming back down Jen was still asleep so I carefully carried her upstairs laying her in bed before climbing in beside her.

We had all started getting into a routine in the morning Jen would take Jack to school before coming in with Paula. She would spend most her day in her office watching Paula and Anthony. Ziva would go up and help her whenever we didn't have a case. Jen would leave before me going back home and working with Naomi on dinner on my way home I'd pick up Jackson and go home. That's how our days would go. We would have the team over for dinner often we really were a real family.

Our little family was perfect, not only was it me, Jen, Jackson and Paula we also had Abby, McGee, Kate, Jimmy, Ducky, Tony, Ziva and Anthony. We were all happy and we didn't think anything could change that.

Except none of us knew the real challenge we would face in a few years...
