DISCLAIMBER:

SUMMARY:

A few days after Kate Todd's funeral, Tony dose something and now it's been a little over seven years. What happened in the past comes back to him...with a shock! What did Tony do and why would it come back to him now? Little TIVA, MCABBY and maybe a love interest for Leroy Jethro Gibbs

CHAPTER 7: GETTING TO KNOW JESSIE & MOVING DAY...

TONY'S P.0.V.

It's been a little over three days since I found out about my daughter, Jessie.

We have spent a lot of time together and have gotten to know each other pretty well.

She loves movies almost as much as I do...

She can quote The Little Mermaid movie and a few other Disney cartoon movies.

She loves to sing and has a beautiful voice and I'm not just saying that because she's my daughter, everyone else who has heard her agrees.

I am spending time getting to know Jessie and at the same time searching for a house.

I waited until Ziva got off work the day after I talked to Gibbs and told her that Gibbs said we can date as long as it didn't interfere with our work, at first Ziva was a little shocked and then we just started talking.

I had been afraid at first that Ziva wouldn't want to be with me, because now I had a daughter, but she surprised me...well, I guess it's not really a surprise.

I told her I would be back at work in the next week or so. Once I found a place to live and had everything settled.

Today I finally found a house I just signed the paperwork after paying for it, then I was given the keys.

I got into my car and called Ms. Holden to tell her, I would be moving into my house soon. She said to let her know when I moved in so she could, come by to check things out.

Then Jessie could come home.

I am now on my way to NCIS to tell the team.

After I got off the phone with Ms. Holden I had called Abby and asked her to come up to the Bullpen that I would be there in a few minutes to explain.

NCIS BULLPEN...

I walked into the bullpen everyone was at their desk and Abby was sitting at mine.

She was not looking at Probie or it seemed they were both ignoring each other. I looked at Ziva who had stopped talking to Abby when I walked in.

"So, why did you want me to come up here? I did not..." Abby began as she sent a death glare over to Probie.

"I just finished the paperwork on a house I bought." I announced.

"That's great, Tony! Next..." Abby began and gave me a hug.

I saw McIgnoring Abby look over.

"That does..." Gibbs began.

"I-I was hoping..." I couldn't seem to get the words out.

"You were hoping we would help you move?" Ziva asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, but only if y..." I started. "I'll help, but I don't know about, certain..." Abby began.

"I'll help, because you'll end up asking me to set up your TV and other electronics anyway. Just as long as I don't have to talk to one person in this area," Tim said looking at Abby and she looked at him.

If looks could kill they would have killed each other a thousand times over.

"I will help to, and then you will be able to bring Jessie home." Ziva said and I looked at Gibbs who just nodded his head that he would help to.

"How are you doing with, Jessie?" Gibbs asked and I couldn't help, but smile.

"She's great. She loves to sing and quotes Disney movies. The Little Mermaid is her favorite movie. Getting to know her is the best thing in the world. I mean I never really thought of having kids. Jessie, she's just...different." I said as my smile grew bigger.

"If she quotes movies like you do...she has to be related to you." Tim said from his desk.

I saw a look on Gibbs face; sort of sad and far away.

"It's the best feeling in the world isn't it?" Gibbs asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, boss, it is. I still can't believe this and it's just been a little over three days." I said.

"I think I better get back to the lab and get back to work. Bring Jessie by when you get a chance; I want to see her again." Abby said and glared at Tim as she passed his desk heading for the elevator.

"I guess I better get going. I have to go get some stuff so I can start packing everything and then I'm going to see, Jessie this evening. I'll try to see about bringing her by here tomorrow, if it doesn't get busy." I said and as I started to walk away, I could have sworn I saw something...

Or maybe I imagined it. Did Gibbs actually smile and shake his head.

GIBBS...

I watched DiNozzo leave the bullpen, he had really changed in the last couple of days.

As he walked away I couldn't help, but smile and shake my head.

At least he had a chance to get to know his daughter and watch her grow up.

I knew that he would take very good care of her, because if he didn't I would give him a head slap so hard that his great-grandkids would feel it.

ABBY...

ABBY'S LAB...

I came back down to my lab, I was happy for Tony. The fact that he had a daughter and was so happy, I was in the bullpen about fifteen minutes, before Tony showed up and decided to sit at his desk.

I looked over at Gibbs and Ziva...I tried to avoid looking at, Tim.

Right now I'm still mad at him. Because of what he had the other night we went out...

He just had to bring the past up. I thought we had...Or at least I had gotten over it a long time ago.

We're best friends after I broke up with him or are we even friends now? We can't stand to be in the same room, this reminds me of when I broke up with him.

Ziva, Gibbs and I agreed to help, but what Tim said really hurt.

FLASHBACK *

'I'll help, because you're going to ask me to set up your TV and other electronics anyway. Just as long as I don't have to talk to one person in this area,' Tim had looked at me when he said it. *

END FLASHBACK

I sat down at my desk and started to cry.

I was always afraid that if Tim and I got to serious and things didn't work out...that we wouldn't be able to stay friends this time.

We stayed friends after I broke up with him...now I'm wondering if we'll ever talk again.

TIM...

THE BULLPEN...

I felt bad after Abby left, we had glared at each other as she walked past, but I had seen what looked like a few tears in her eyes.

I care about Abby and I know I shouldn't have said what I did, but I was just so mad about what was happening between the two of us right now.

I'm just tired of loving her and knowing the way we are around each other...

I was just so tired of it and after another minute I made up my mind, I had to go talk to her and fix things between us.

"B-boss, I'm going to go see if Abby can us my help in the lab." I say getting up before he can say anything.

I took the elevator to the floor with Abby's lab.

ABBY'S LAB...

STILL TIM'S P.O.V.

I walked into Abby's lab and her music was going but she was nowhere to be found and then I looked in her office.

She was sitting at her desk and looked to be crying.

"Abs," I asked and she wiped her tears away before she looked at me.

"What, McGee?" Abby asked.

"I'm sorry for what I said in the bull pen and the other night. I didn't mean..." I began, but Abby held up her hand.

"The other night when we went to dinner, I thought we were going just as friends. I didn't know that you wanted to start things between us again and I was in shock. Timmy, I-I don't know what to think. What if we got back together and something happen...like the last few days. We haven't talked unless it was work related, when we look at each other it's been a glare and that's what I've been afraid of. If things don't work out this time, we wouldn't come out as friends." Abby told me.

"Abby, I love you and you know that I would never hurt you on purpose. If we got back together...I would do everything possible to make sure that what you are afraid of wouldn't happen." I replied.

"You can't say that for sure, because something can happen. If something happened I would lose you forever." Abby said and tears started to fall again, I reached over to wipe the tears away.

"Nothing will ever change how I feel about you...nothing has changed. Even after you broke up with me...I never stopped believing that there would be a chance for us in the future." I told her.

"I know, Tim. I-I'm just afraid of us." Abby whispered.

"Hey...you don't have to be afraid of us. We could take things slow and just see if this time things will work out. The last few days without taking to you has been so hard." I said and she looked into my eyes.

I knew that she saw how sincere I was and I could see her thinking. I knew what she was thinking...

Weighing the pros and cons if we got back together...

"I don't know...can we take it slow this time? I don't want to end up like we did the last time." Abby said and I nodded.

"I know and I'll do my best to make sure we don't end up like that." I said and then Abby leaned forward wrapping her arms around my neck in a hug.

After a minute she pulled away and our faces were only inches apart. I don't know if it was her or if it was me, but both of us leaned in and kissed.

"So this is you seeing if Abby needed help in the lab?" Came Gibbs voice and we broke apart.

"B-b-boss, I can ex..." I started, but Abby cut me off.

"Gibbs, Tim and I haven't talked in a couple of days. We needed to work some things out. So don't..." Abby stopped.

"It's all right, just don't let me catch you doing anything like this again when you're supposed to be working and remember to keep it out of the building." Gibbs said.

TONY...

It's now Saturday, with Ziva helping me and we managed to get everything from my apartment ready to move in two days.

Now Ziva, Gibbs, Abby, Tim...

Even Ducky, the Autopsy Gremlin and the Autopsy Gremlin's wife, Breena came to help. We began to load everything on to the truck.

It looked like whatever Abby and McGoo had been fighting about, had been fixed.

"This is the last box." Ziva said as she walked past me.

"Good, with the furniture and everything we wouldn't have fit anymore in here!" I heard Gibbs called.

Once the truck was ready to go, I climbed into the driver's seat. Ziva climbed into the passenger's seat...

"I could have..." Ziva began.

"No way, my ninja, I want to get there in one piece, my things too." I told her with a smile.

Abby, Tim and Gibbs followed behind us.

Ducky, Autopsy Gremlin and his wife, Breena behind them...

Then we made our way to my house.

TONY'S NEW HOUSE...

"Anthony, I have to say this is a nice house and how young Jessica will enjoy it. Once you bring her home of course." Ducky said as I unlocked the door and we began with taking the furniture in.

My entertainment center, dresser, bed and all my other furniture, by the time all that and a few of the boxes were moved in, we were all hot and tired.

We had a cooler filled with ice cold drinks, another cooler for Abby's Caf-Pows, a coffee pot had been found and set up on the counter, and Ducky had brought something with him to make his tea.

We took a break to get something to drink and I called for a couple of pizzas.

"I noticed that Jessie does not have anything in her room." Ziva said.

"I'm having the furniture for her room delivered and they said they don't usually deliver on Sunday's, so that's coming on Monday. Once the furniture for Jessie's room is here, Ms. Holden is going to come by, then I should have Jessie home by Tuesday. Then I was going to..." I started.

"How about Ziva and I take Jessie shopping?" Abby suggested with a huge smile as she started to bounce in her seat on the couch.

I had to smile, because it was then Probie grabbed her waist and pulled her back, she then leaned against him.

"Hey, Probie, any..." I began.

"I wouldn't even say it, Tony. Remember what I can do?" Abby warned.

"Yeah, but you wouldn't want, Jessie to lose me. She just lost her mother." I reminded her.

"So what do you say about Ziva and I taking her shopping?" Abby asked.

"All right, but I don't know how she will react. I mean she's gotten to know me pretty well, but she doesn't really know anyone else." I said.

"We could handle it and Jessie will have some fun." Ziva said and I just looked around at everyone.

I haven't spoken to my father in a few months and there's no telling where he is or when he will turn up.

So he doesn't know about Jessie, but I looked around at my NCIS family. They were more of a family...

"Well let's get everything else in here." Gibbs said getting up, because we had taken a break for the last hour.

Tim got up and was getting ready to pull Abby up, but she pulled him back down on the couch.

We all laughed...

"If you two are done playing grab ass..." Gibbs said looking at McGeek and Abby.

"Hey..."Tim started, careful not to continue and everyone knew why.

Abby was the favorite and you had to watch what you say around Gibbs. This time it was Abby who got up first.

Everyone was heading out the door and Abby was just ahead, so I took a chance to talk to Tim.

"Hey, Probie, I noticed the other day you and Abby were not talking and looked ready to kill each other..." I said.

"We worked things out." Was all he said.

"Really, with the coffin..." I was cut off.

"That is none of your business Tony." McGee told me and I couldn't say anything else, because we had reached the truck.

It was two and a half hours later when the last box was carried in.

Abby grabbed a Caf-Pow, Gibbs grabbed a coffee, Ducky his tea, Gibbs had coffee and the rest of us chose a cold drink from the cooler.

We all sat down again, more exhausted the earlier.

My bed had already been put together, with a sheets and my blanket on it. That was the only thing that needed to be put together today.

Tomorrow would be my entertainment center, I saw how tired everyone was and I was too tired to care about watching a movie tonight.

"We'll come by tomorrow and help you to unpack. Then Tim can help you set up your TV." Abby said with her head on McGee's shoulder.

"Thanks everyone." I said and there were a lot of groans as Tim helped Abby up, Gibbs, Ducky, Palmer and Breena headed for the door.

I noticed the only not to follow was Ziva, I heard the door close and went back to the living room.

Ziva was sound asleep on the couch...

"Tony?" Ziva asked opening her eyes.

"Why don't you go lay down in the bed, it's a lot more comfortable than the couch." I suggested.

"Tony...?" Was all Ziva said and when I laughed she glared at me.

"Just to sleep, Zi, I think we're too tired to do anything else." I told her and she nodded, but didn't move.

I helped her up and my muscles screamed in pain, but I helped her to climb into the bed. She fell asleep before she was even on the bed.

I went to take a shower and it felt good on my sore muscles.

I came out and feeling a little better, I climbed into the bed beside Ziva. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around her, she opened her eyes for a second, the just moved closer to me.

Then everything blurred and I felt my eyes growing heavy...
