CHAPTER 5: THE DAY CATCHES UP TO TONY...
JESSIE'S FOSTER HOME...
Colleen Parry stepped out the door, when she noticed that Ms. Holden had brought Jessie home and that Jessie was asleep in the back seat.
"How did it go?" Colleen asked Ms. Holden, as they put Jessie in her room.
"As well as could be expected, Mr. DiNozzo said he has to find a place for him and Jessie, get a few things in order and in the mean time she will remain here." Ms. Holden told Colleen.
"It's hard being a foster mother sometimes, but this is harder...because Keely was my best friend and almost like a sister." Colleen said as she walked Ms. Holden to the door a few minutes later.
"I know things will turn out in the end." Ms. Holden said and walked out the door.
Colleen watched her leave and then walked back down the hall to the room that Jessie shared.
The other child was Colleen's foster daughter...
Laura, who was eight, had green eyes and blonde hair.
Laura was sitting on the floor playing.
"Is Jessie okay?" Laura asked and was very bright for her age. "She just had a tough morning; she should be okay soon though. I'm going to start dinner, tell me when she wakes up." Colleen told Laura and Laura nodded before going back to her dolls.
Laura had asked about where Jessie went when she left and Colleen told her, it had upset Laura at the thought of losing her sister.
TIM AND ABBY...
Abby noticed that Tim seemed nervous about something and found it unusual, because this was not their first date.
"You okay, Timmy?" Abby asked and Tim looked at her as they sat down at the table in the Italian restraint.
"Y-yeah, why wouldn't I be? This isn't our first date." Tim said with a smile.
"You are not okay, Timothy McGee. You seem nervous about something...spill it." Abby told him.
Tim sighed and looked into her eyes.
"Abby, I know we dated years ago. You asked me earlier today if I thought things would be different if Kate was still a..." Tim began. "You said maybe. Tim, what are you saying?" Abby had an idea where this was going, but wanted to hear it from him.
"Abby, we can't change the past and we've gotten to know each other better since then. What would you say if-if I asked about us starting over again? Not as friends, but as something more than that. I still love you...more now than I did then." Tim said and Abby looked away.
"T-Tim, I do...I can't...I need to think, okay?" Abby asked looking back at him. "All right, I just wanted you to know." Tim said and after that they sat there for what seemed a long time in their own thoughts.
ZIVA'S APARTMENT...
Ziva was sitting on her couch and thinking.
Her thoughts were on Tony...she had only been joking with him that day about him being a father.
Neither of them had known then, that he did have a child.
Sometime over the last seven years she had fallen in love with, Tony. She didn't know what it was...
Everything he did seemed so...immature. She knew that would change now and wondered how Tony would deal with having a daughter.
She was brought out of her thoughts by a knock at the door. Looking at the time...she was surprised to see that it was only 7:45 in the evening.
Getting up, she realized that her legs had fallen asleep. She finally made it to the door though and after checking to see who it was...
It was, Tony.
"Hey, Ziva, I didn't get a chance to talk to you before I left NCIS today and I thought we could talk now." Tony said and she stepped back to let him into the apartment.
"How did things go today?" Ziva asked.
"Just filled out the paperwork and went to lunch. Trying to get to know, Jessie, She's taking this pretty hard, but seems strong." Tony said, but looked at Ziva.
"She's been through a lot, yes?" Ziva asked.
"Yeah, I know how she feels about losing a mom. She just lost her mom and I lost my mom when I was eight. It's weird that we had to go through the same thing. Are you okay, Zi?" Tony asked as they sat down on the couch.
"I am fine, Tony and I happy that you will get to know your daughter." Ziva told him, but was not looking at him.
"Zi, what's wrong?" Tony asked.
"I'm just surprised you have a daughter..." Ziva didn't continue.
"I know, I'm surprised I too." Tony told her honestly.
"Have you ever thought out of all the women you...?" Ziva began.
"I didn't date Jessie's mom, it was just that one night. We were drunk and hurting over those we had lost." Tony said.
"You said you filled out the paperwork, when do you bring Jessie home?" Ziva asked.
"I still have to find a new place so Jessie can have her own room, then get furniture for her bedroom and other things she will need." Tony told her.
They continued to talk late into the night, finally Tony decided it was time he left and once he was gone, Ziva got lost in her thoughts once more.
She didn't know what she was feeling...
She knew she was in love with Tony, but...couldn't put her nose on what else she was feeling.
TONY...
Tony was now sitting in his car and the day began to catch up to him.
Everything that had happened...
HE HAD A DAUGHTER! A DAUGHTER HE HAD NEVER KNOWN ABOUT UNTIL TODAY!
How was he going to manage taking care of a little girl?
He needed to talk to someone. Someone who knew what it was like to have a daughter...
Gibbs...
He wondered if that was a good idea though, because Gibbs had lost Kelly and it was clear that even though it had been over twenty years, Gibbs was still hurting over the loss of his daughter.
There was no one else Tony could think of though, so he started the car and headed for Gibbs house...
