AN: Thanks for the reviews, and I think that it has been a LOT of fluff and establishing relationships and all that stuff, but from now on, things might get a little hairy, not this chapter though..
Disclaimer: The usual, don't own'em, except my Winnie's... all hail DBP and all that stuff..

Gibbs placed the wheelchair on the sidewalk and helped Tony out of the car.

Abby and Ducky had agreed to meet them at the movies and watch "Simpsons the Movie" with them. Tony had been looking forward to it sinse Gibbs said he would take him when he got better.

They bought the tickets and then Tony had to go to the bathroom. Gibbs insisted on coming with, but Tony wanted to go himself.

"Jet! Please! I can't get better if you insist I never do anything for myself!" Tony said finally. Gibbs sighed.

"yeah.. you're right.. I just.." Gibbs didn't know how to tell Tony he was petrified Tony would fall, or forget something, or go home, or get scared, or-

"Hey.. I KNOW how to go to the bathroom Jet.." Tony said as he saw Gibbs was lost in thought.

"Hmm? Yeah.. yeah I know.. I'll wait right here" Gibbs said and squeezed his shoulder.

Tony rolled his wheelchair to the bathroom dor and entered.

"Jethro, you know that he is right? You cannot watch him all the time, he is a grown man and he needs to get his life back" Ducky said.

"I know.. but I sure as hell am gonna try to keep him out of trouble" Gibbs said.

They waited ten minutes before Tony came rolling out of the bathroom and stopped in front of Gibbs.

"See? I'm relieved AND I remembered to wash my hands!" Tony grinned from ear to ear.

Gibbs chuckled.

"Never doubted you for a second" Gibbs said.

"Oh yeah you did you mother hen" Tony said.

"Tony, I-"

"Don't you dare say you're sorry, you're an overprotective jealous bastard, who's got a temper to match your appearance, and that's why I love you" Tony said. Gibbs bent down and kissed him. Then he stood up again.

"What about my appearance" Gibbs said.

"Appearance? Did I say appearance? Oh shucks, I said the wrong word" Tony chuckled. Gibbs, Ducky and Abby chuckled as well.

After the movie, Tony was more than exhausted. He was so tired Gibbs lifted him from the chair and carried him to the car. He coaxed him inside and fastened the seatbelt. Tony blinked tiredly up at him.

"It was a great movie" he mumbled and fell back to sleep. Gibbs smirked, rubbed his hair a little and kissed his chin. Then he closed the door.

Ducky and Abby looked at him.

"You need a ride back?" Gibbs asked.

"No, I'm riding with Duckman, he has a Morgan!" Abby said exitedly.

"Yes, and It's in it's prime too, I bought it from a fascinating man named Adler, he had a boil on his.. well.. it's not suited for young women as yourself Abigail, I will tell you later" Ducky said.

"You can tell me in the car!" Abby said.

"Thanks for meeting us" Gibbs said and rubbed his eyes.

"Jethro.. don't run yourself into the ground, Abigail and myself, and Winnie as well will step up and help you if you need some rest" Ducky said.

"Thanks Duck" Gibbs said.

"You know.. Gerald really wants to spend some time with Anthony, you could come to my house for a while? Mother's in a home for a while, and it is a tad lonely up there.. Winnie is not a trouble, she's a very smart little dog" Ducky said.

"I might just take you up on that, but I gotta get this guy home before he spends the night in the car" Gibbs smirked.

"You do that, I wanna hear about the boil!" Abby said and led Ducky away.

Gibbs chuckled lowly and sat into the car.

Tony was sleeping in the seat and merely mumbled something unintelligable before turning towards the window and fell asleep again.

Gibbs smiled and drove home.

Nearly home Tony woke with a start as his cellphone rang. He fumbled for it before Gibbs handed it over to him.

"Thanks" Tony mumbled, "DiNozzo".

He was quiet for a while and Gibbs almost thought he'd fallen asleep when he heard Tony's low voice speak again.

"I dunno dad.. I don't think it's a good Idea just yet, but I'll think about it.. really? Well.. we could meet.. just remember I'm not.. no I AM gay.. yeah.. no he'll come with me.. because I need him and I love him.. you know, it's probably not a good Idea to meet you.. yeah.. yeah okay, no it's fine.. I'll find the time.. yeah bye.. bye" Tony said and hung up. He sighed and just threw the cell on the floor.

"Dad wants to meet me.. he's coming in for some fake ass buisiness trip and wants to talk to me" Tony sighed, "should I do this?"

"It's up to you Tony" Gibbs said, "I can't make that decision for you"

"Aww.. why can't you be overprotective at this point and make me stay home?" Tony said, smiling.

"Because family is family no matter what happens or what has happened in the past" Gibbs said and glanced quickly at Tony.

"Words of wisdom, you've been spending way to much time with Ducky" Tony said.

"You saying I'm not smart?" Gibbs asked.

"No, I said you're not wize Jet, there's a difference, you usually jump into anything that remotely looks like trouble and make decisions that's usually right, but you don't know it at the time, Ducky uses a long long LONG time to say something wize" Tony said.

"Thanks.. I think" Gibbs said.

"It's what I do" Tony sighed, "I'll meet him.. but I want you to come with me"

"You think I'm going to stay home and you can roam around on your own?" Gibbs asked. Tony chuckled.

"No.. of course not..Jet, just.. just don't hit him again" Tony said, biting his lower lip and looking at his lover.

"I wont.. if he doesn't lay a hand on you, if he does, he'll go down like a sack of potatoes" Gibbs said.

"My hero" Tony snickered.

"My princess" Gibbs replied.

"HEY! I may spend twenty minutes in the bathroom to brush my hair, but I am NOT platina blond!" Tony said.

"You spend twenty minutes in the bathroom in the morning brushing your hair?" Gibbs asked.

Tony rubbed a hand over the growing hair.

"Yeah, got to maintain my good looks" Tony grinned.

Gibbs chuckled and stopped the car.

"We're home" Gibbs said.

"No really? I thought we were in China" Tony said.

Gibbs raised and amused eyebrow.

"Oh shut up" Tony smiled.

"You think it'll be okay? With my dad and all?" Tony asked.

"I hope so.. you deserve to be happy, and you need your family" Gibbs said as he lay right behind Tony on the big bed.

Winnie was laying in front of Tony, licking his fingers.

"Yeah..I wish.. I really wish that I had a dad like Winnie's, he's really nice" Tony said.

"I know, Winnie told me you two got along great" Gibbs said.

"Mhm..he was totally okay with me being the gay guy and everything, well, mostly because Winnie's bisexual I think, but he's totally accepting of things" Tony said.

"He's a good man" Gibbs said.

"He said marines are closet gays who tries to deny their sexual habits" Tony laughed.

"He did, did he? Well what the hell do I know" Gibbs growled and bit him gently on the neck. Tony hissed slightly.

"If you keep doing that, Winnie needs to go outside" Tony murmured.

Winnie sharpened her ears and jumped off the bed, scratching on the door.

"Good girl" Gibbs said as he opened it and let her out into the hall.
