CHAPTER 3: TALKING TO DIRECTOR VANCE ABOUT JESSIE...
THE BULLPEN...
Gibbs, Ziva, Tony, Jessie and Ms. Holden got off the elevator walking into the Bullpen.
Gibbs, Ms. Holden and Jessie continued toward the stairs that led up to Director Vance's office.
Ziva turned and headed for the bathroom, Tony noticed that she seemed upset.
Deciding to talk to her later Tony and followed the others up the stairs to the director's office.
Gibbs opened the door and just walked in like he always did.
Vance looked up and didn't seem surprised to see Gibbs, but did look surprised at the group of people who followed.
"Gibbs, what's going on?" Vance asked.
"Leon..." Gibbs began to explain the situation to Vance and what they needed to do.
THE BULLPEN...
Ziva sat at her desk, Tony and the others had been in the director's office for half an hour now.
Ziva had joked with Tony before when he had received a call from a sperm bank; neither of them had known then that he did have a child.
She was still getting used to the idea and trying to figure out what she was feeling, but she already knew the answer...
Years ago when she first met Tony, at first she didn't know what to think and then sometime since then she had fallen in love with him.
Now his life was going to get complicated, because he was now a single dad.
Ziva was so deep in thought she hadn't even noticed that Tony and the others had come down from the director's office.
"Hey, boss, I'm going to take Jessie to lunch and get everything started." Tony said as Ziva looked up.
Gibbs just nodded and Ziva watched as Tony grabbed his coat, his bag and handed Jessie her back pack.
"Zi," Tony had stopped in front of her desk and she looked up at him.
"What, Tony?" She asked.
"Are you okay?" Tony asked.
"Fine, Tony. I'll see you later." Ziva told him, she saw something in Tony's eyes and was unsure what it was.
With a last glance Tony left with Jessie and Jessie's social worker, Ms. Holden. Ziva looked back at her paperwork and tried to focus.
"Ziver," Gibbs asked. "I'm fine, Gibbs." Ziva said repeating what she had just told Tony.
In truth she was not fine, she was confused about what she was feeling. She was in love with Tony and his daughter was cute, but...
She couldn't think of how to put into words what she was thinking.
It was a while later when Gibbs had gone for a coffee run and Ziva was the only one in the Bullpen.
So Ziva got up and took the elevator to the floor with Abby's lab.
She stopped just outside the lab, because she heard Tim ask Abby something.
ABBY'S LAB...
TIM AND ABBY...
Tim and Abby had been working for a long time, when Tim looked up from his computer and over at Abby.
"Hey, Abby, you want to go out tonight?" Tim asked.
"Sure...you don't have to hide, Ziva, I know you're there." Abby said and Ziva knew she had been caught.
Ziva made her way into the Lab.
"Gibbs is on a coffee run and there was no one in the Bullpen. I thought I would come down..." Ziva began.
"Where's Tony?" Tim asked.
"He took Ms. Holden and Jessie to lunch after coming back from talking to Director Vance." Ziva said a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"I don't think you have to worry about Ms. Holden being interested in Tony." Abby said as Tim and Ziva looked at her.
"Why?" Ziva asked in surprise, she wondered how Abby had known what she was thinking.
"Because Ms. Holden was looking at Gibbs most of the time she was here in the lab." Abby said with a smirk.
"You think that Ms. Holden was interested in..." Tim began.
"Ms. Holden was interested in what, McGee?" Gibbs asked entering the lab.
"N-nothing, we were just talking." McGee said as he turned to look at Gibbs.
"When is Tony coming back?" Abby asked.
"He was given time off to get the paperwork filled out, find a new place to live and get to know Jessie. He's taken a couple of weeks off." Gibbs told them.
Ziva looked disappointed at the thought that she would not see Tony during the time and would miss him, but tried not to let it show.
"What's Jessie like? I didn't really get to see much of her. Why didn't we know that Tony had a daughter?" Abby asked.
"All we know is that Jessie is five going on six February 15th. Other than that we don't know much more." Tim told her.
"Five? Kate was killed seven years ago, that would have been around the time..." Abby said putting it together and everyone realized she was right.
"There was one Friday night not long after Kate died that, Abby asked Tony if he wanted to go get some drinks with us. He said he already had plans and would see us Monday." Tim said.
"Don't worry, Ziver. I'm sure he'll see you, while he's trying to get everything together for him and Jessie." Gibbs said, because he had noticed.
"Hey, has anyone told Ducky?" Abby asked all of the sudden and everyone shook their heads no.
"We've been so busy..." Gibbs.
Abby went over to and Ducky's picture appeared on the screen. (The one screen they use between Autopsy and Abby's lab.)
"Ah, Abigail, what can I do for you?" Ducky asked upon seeing her.
"Could you come to my lab, we have something to tell you...about Tony." Abby said.
"Is Anthony all right?" Ducky asked worry in his voice.
"He's fine, but there's something we need to tell you." Abby replied.
Ducky said he would be to Abby's lab in just a few minutes and after what seemed forever there was the sound of the elevator.
Ducky entered Abby's lab; followed by Palmer.
"Where is Anthony?" Ducky asked looking from one face to the other.
"Getting to know his new daughter," Abby said with a smile.
"An..." Ducky began.
"Yes, Duck, a social worker turned up in the bullpen a few hours ago with a five year old girl named Jessie, who will be six in a few months. Abs ran a test and it confirmed that Tony was Jessie's father." Gibbs told him.
"Wow, who knew?" Jimmy said speaking up for the first time.
For a few minutes longer Ziva, Ducky, Palmer, Abby, Tim and Gibbs talked in the lab...then Gibbs suggested they needed to get back to work.
