When Jonathan woke up from his nap Tony was still asleep but Abby heard him up and peeked into the room. Jonathan's face lit up when he saw her and ran into her arms, "Did you have a good nap?"

Jonathan nods, "Uh huh, daddy's sleeping."

Abby smiles, "I can see that. How about we go downstairs and let daddy sleep some more? I went shopping earlier and got some ice cream and then we can play with some of your toys."

Jonathan frowns, "I only have Tender."

Abby shakes her head, "Daddy went and got your other toys from your mama's house and they're downstairs."

They go down and Jonathan wanted to play with the toys instead of eating ice cream so they sat down and played with his toy trucks. "Where's mama?"

Abby sighs, "I'm not sure honey but daddy can tell you. Does she call you anything?"

Jonathan nods, "John or Johnny though sometimes she calls me little man or baby."

Abby smiles, "What would you like me to call you?"

Jonathan thinks, "You can call me Johnny. Mama says she's going to heaven soon."

Abby doesn't know what to say to this, "Well they say heavens really nice and she'll still be able to watch you."

Johnny notices Tony, "Will she daddy?"

Tony nods, "Sure she will and in a couple of days we'll go see her."

Johnny smiles, "I want to see her."

Abby stands up, "He says he likes to be called Johnny by the way."

Tony smiles, "That's a great name. Did you guys get a snack?"

Abby shakes her head, "He wanted to play with his toys first."

Tony nods, "I'm going to help the others paint some stuff for the room if you don't mind playing with him some more."

"Of course not, can I take him to the park down the street?"

Tony smiles, "I don't know do you want to go to the park Johnny?" Johnny nods and Tony hugs him. "Okay, here's some money in case he wants some popcorn for the ducks or ice cream."

Jonathan's eyes light up, "They have ducks? I love ducks."

Abby nods, "They sure do and I have it Tony. What kind of Auntie would I be if I don't treat him?"

Tony hugs her, "Okay thanks Abs."

While waiting for the room to dry Tony and Gibbs start painting the furniture, "Johnnyis a great kid. Abby's already starting all sorts of plans for things to do with him. Parks, the zoo, trips to the library so he can get into books."

Tony smiles, "I can't complain about help. I appreciate you letting us live here too Gibbs, this is … it means a lot. I don't know what I'd do if we didn't have a place to go. You seem great with any kids and …"

Gibbs nods, "That's more a natural instinct but yeah sometimes. You seem to have taken to Johnny quickly. He likes you and he calls you daddy already."

Tony smiles, "That would be Jeanne's doing. She told him about me and said I was daddy. She's dying and she knew that I could love him and I do."

Gibbs sighs, "Of what do you know?"

Tony shakes his head, "No but I want Johnny to spend as much time with her as he can. She gave me the information for his doctor and day care in case I still wanted to use them. I probably shouldn't but they know him and he's used to them. She would know what doctor to use for him and who was a good kids doctor."

Gibbs nods, "That's true and if there's anything you guys need … I mean I heard you tell Johnny that he can see Jeanne."

"Jeanne would like to stay in touch but she thought I wouldn't bring him around. I still remember the times before my mom died … they weren't the greatest memories but at last I have them."

Gibbs nods, "I understand Tony and I might not like Jeanne she's still Dom's mom. How long do you think you'll need with him?"

Tony shrugs, "I have no idea … I've never thought about it. I thought I'd have trouble with him getting used to me but he's a great kid. I told him I was Tony and he told me no mama said I was daddy. He had a picture of us together and a teddy bear I won Jeanne at a carnival. She told him I gave her the bear for him."

Gibbs nods, "Well she does seem like she tried to make it easier for you and I'm glad."

Tony nods, "So am I. I'm glad I got the chance to get his bed, toys, stuff for the walls … Abby said he just wanted to play with them. How much rent are you going to want for …?"

Gibbs shrugs, "I haven't thought about it. I was thinking of selling it because it's getting too big for just me. How much are you currently paying?"

Tony groans, "850 it includes utilities, cable, internet … I don't know how much it would be for an apartment with a child."

Gibbs nods, "500 and you pay for your cable and internet. You and Johnny get the run of the house and help out but the basement's off limits unless I'm down there. I don't want Johnny to get hurt down there."

Tony stares at him, "Are you serious? That … yeah I can do that."

Gibbs smiles, "That's good and you still have to pay for child care and I remember that can add up."

Tony groans, "I have to ask the daycare how much it costs. I didn't think to ask Jeanne but maybe the daycare on the yard will be good too."

Gibbs smiles, "I want you to make this your home too. The yard, maybe when he's bigger we can clear the attic so he has a play area …"

"Thanks Gibbs, that means a lot that you're willing to do this for us."

Abby and Dominic return by dinner time, "Daddy, we feed the ducks and Auntie got me ice cream and it was good."

His face was covered with chocolate ice cream, "I can see that did you have fun?"

"Uh huh we went on the swings and the slides plus she let me play in the sand too."

Tony smiles, "Thank you Abs, he seems like he had a lot of fun."

Abby smiles, "So did I. Where's Gibbs?"

Tony smiles, "He is making spaghetti for dinner. Someone's mama told me that's his favorite meal."

Abby takes Johnny's hand to go wash up, "That's good because Gibbs makes good spaghetti."

During dinner Johnny obviously enjoyed the spaghetti but they realized he was too small for the table. "Well I guess I still have to shop for some stuff."

Gibbs nods, "Just a booster chair should be fine."

Tony nods, "I was worried he'd need a high chair still."

Gibbs shakes his head, "Johnny's a big boy and they don't need high chairs. After dinner we'll show him his new room. You can't sleep in it yet because it smells like paint but tomorrow it should be fine."

Tony nods, "First we have to go by my place to pick up some stuff. I don't have any clothes or anything here."

Gibbs smiles, "Do you want to stay here with me or go with your daddy?"

Johnny thinks, "I want to go with daddy. Can I daddy?"

Tony loved hearing that word, "Sure you can buddy."

At his apartment he spoke to his landlady about Johnny, "Sorry for the short notice but I was just given custody and …"

She nods, "Well I'm glad you're voluntarily moving out with the child though technically I couldn't throw you out. If you're out by the end of the month and leave your place the way you found it … you'll get your deposit back."

Tony smiles, "You won't keep it because I'm breaking the lease?"

"Nope you need all the help you can use and there are always people who want an apartment here. Getting a new renter will be no problem."

Tony nods, "Thanks, I'm just picking some stuff up for now but I'll be out by then."

Back at the house Gibbs was still working on the bedroom, "Sorry but I wanted to make sure that it was set up."

Tony nods, "Thanks Gibbs, are you going back to work tomorrow?"

"Nope, not unless something comes in that needs our lead. Vance suggested you take Johnny in so he can see where you work soon though."

Tony smiles, "I think he would like that." Johnny tugs on his leg. "What's up Johnny?"

Johnny yawns, "I'm tired, where am I going to sleep?"

Gibbs knew Tony was probably tired too, "Go ahead I'm going down to the basement soon." When Tony climbs into bed with Johnny they cuddle together and Tony realizes there's nothing better than having Johnny. He never thought he'd be a father or want kids but he knew he couldn't turn on Johnny even if he wanted to. Tony was just grateful for the teams help with being a father.
