Well thank you for all the great and helpful reviews. This is the last chapter, I think so don't hold me to it, but I do have plans for a sequel but I'd like to know what you think. So review afterwards!

Tony couldn't believe his eyes, sleeping comfortably in his arms was the smallest yet the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
His baby girl was a spitting image of Kate; she had the same big brown eyes with porcelain except she had a few silk stands of blonde hair. She still was known as 'baby girl Todd' as no-one could decide on what name would suit her.
He still found it hard to believe that she was so small and so delicate but it broke his heart that he couldn't take her home, she was still too small only 25 weeks old, so in hope of getting her home quicker she was being giving steroids to help strengthen her heart and lungs.
Kate carefully packed her clothes into the duffel bag Abby had brought from her apartment when they had learned she was going to ok. It had been a bit touch and go at the beginning as she lost a lot of blood and therefore had to be kept in but finally she was allowed to go home.
"You ready to go home?" asked a voice from the doorway, Kate jumped and spun round to see who was there,
"Hey, I guess its time to grow up and face the music whether I'm ready or not, but I think I'm still going to be spending the next week here," Kate explained smiling; Gibbs came over and handed her a cup of coffee.
Kate didn't realise how much she had missed the stuff while she was pregnant, until she took a sip and the caffeine went around her body. Silence spread through the room it but it wasn't an awkward silence, instead it was comforting and soothing.
"Tony says the director has sorted out my replacement and she starts next week. He also said that you gave him 2 weeks off," Kate said breaking the silence,
"Well he isn't any use at work if all he is going to do is worry about you and the baby so I gave him a fortnight off so you could all get used to the change...and I know that your sister isn't coming until next week," Gibbs explained, he watched Kate's expression change at the mention of her sister he knew she would've preferred if her mother would come to help her out because that's what they are meant to do when you have a child, they show you the ropes.
"Thanks, Tony's going to be busy and my sister can't stay long she has children of her own. I just wish my mom would answer my calls, she doesn't even know I've had the baby. Isabella and my brothers felt it wasn't their place to tell my parents...it's not fair Gibbs! Tony's mom was delighted and yet mine won't even answer my calls," Kate sobbed, Gibbs went over and took the coffee out of her hands and placed it on the table.
Then he surprised her and pulled her into a hug,
"Anything you want Kate, or if it's all too much let me now...ok?" Gibbs asked, Kate nod against his chest.
Kate leant against the wall of the maternity ICU and she watched quietly as Tony sat with their baby girl in his arms both of them asleep and at the moment Kate realised Tony was a different person than who he was at work or at home The pair of them looked like they were born to be together and were so peaceful in each others company and she couldn't love either of them anymore than she already did.
Her only concern was that she wouldn't be as natural as Tony and would make a mess of being a mother, she was worried because she didn't feel they had had time to bond because as she as she was born inside of Kate holding her, her baby was put into an incubator and whisked away.
Tony felt someone watching him and all his senses concentrated on figuring out who it was before he showed them he was awake. He opened his eyes to find himself staring at Kate who seemed to be in deep thought.
"She still needs a name," Tony said, Kate jumped at little when he spoke and pulled a confused face.
Kate eyes feel on her daughter and then did she come to her senses and realise who Tony was talking about.
"Okay...how about Madison?" Kate suggested watching Tony's reaction. He looked at the child in his arms and smiled.
"I think she suits that our Maddy, so how about Mary as her catholic name and then Grace as her middle name," Tony replied.
Kate smiled and pushed herself off the wall and walked over to Tony, Tony handed Madison over to Kate who stood smiling at her daughter,
"Welcome to our weird and crazy family...Madison Mary Grace Dinozzo,"
