A/N: Here we go with chapter two. The next chapters should get longer I just wanted to get this whole birth out of the way first. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to write if there is anything I can do better!

Chapter 2

As Tony sat in the car with Gibbs on the way to the hospital could he not help but doubting himself. Would he be a good father to his daughter? To be honest he was scared as hell. Excited, but scared. And then the worst thought entered his mind.

'Boss, what if I end up like my father.' said Tony with a nervous voice.

'Hey DiNozzo! We've already talked about this and there is no way you'll end up like your father. You are anything like that man. And lets be honest, Lauren would kick your ass if you just as much as tried to do something stupid while being around your daughter.' Gibbs said.

Tony couldn't help but laugh. 'Yeah your right, she definitely would.'

As they reached the hospital did Gibbs drop Tony off at the entrance while he went to park the car. Tony ran through the entrance with Lauren's bag swung over his shoulder. He arrived at the information desk totally out of breath.

'My wife was just brought in, she is having our baby and I really need to be with her.' he said with a nervous voice. Gosh he really needed to man up, Lauren needed him to be calm, he thought.

'What is your wife's name?' the secretary asked.

'Lauren DiNozzo.' he answered.

'Alright Mr. DiNozzo, just wait a second and I'll find out where she is.'

'Thank you.' Tony said as he took a deep breath.

'Your wife is already at the maternity ward in room 204. Do you know the directions or should I call a colleague to show you the way?' she asked while grabbing the phone.

'No you don't have to do that. I'll find it myself, thank you.' Tony said as he stormed off towards the stairs taking two at a time, before he found his way to Lauren's room.

Lauren looked up with a smile on her face as Tony entered the room. Lauren was sitting on the bed, already in her hospital gown.

Tony walked over to her.

'I am so glad you're here.' Lauren said.

'Of course I'm here. Where else would I be?' answered Tony as he took her face in his hands and kissed her.

Tony then spotted Lily sitting in a chair nearby. Tony smiled at her. 'Thank you so much for making sure Lauren got here safely.'

'It's no problem, I would do anything for Lauren and my goddaughter.' Lily replied with a smile. 'I'll go get something for you to drink and make sure Gibbs knows were he is supposed to go. I'm guessing he arrived here with you?'

'Yes he did, he is just parking the car.' replied Tony.

'I'll go find him and leave you two alone for a little bit.' Lily said as she rose from the chair and leaved the room.

After Lily had left, Tony returned his attention back to Lauren and she filled him in on what had happened since she and Lily had arrived at the hospital. Her examination had shown that she had already dilated by 5 centimeters and that the labor therefore was well underway. Tony tried to mentally prepare himself for the moment Lauren would need him the most, because he could already see on her face that se was in a great deal of pain.

'Tony before we have this baby I want you to know that I love you very much, so please don't take any of the things I might say under this delivery personal.' Lauren said while smiling at him.

Tony couldn't help but laugh. 'I'll try not to.' he teased her.

'Tony I'm serious. I am already in a great deal of pain and I want you to still want to have anything to do with me afterwards.'

'Hey Lauren, nothing you say will ever make me run away from you and our daughter, ok?' he said as he looked her in the eyes.

'Ok.' she replied just as another contraction hit her.

Lily had just bought a bottle of water for Lauren when she spotted Gibbs in the hospital entrance as she made her way towards him.

'Hi Gibbs.' Lily said as she reached him.

'Hi Lily, how's Lauren holding up?' asked Gibbs as they both made their way further inside the hospital.

'Oh better than Tony I think.' she said while chuckling.

'Yeah I bet. But I'm sure that when he lays eyes on his daughter for the first time, he will settle into the father role fast.' Gibbs said. 'Are you ready to become a godmother?'

'Oh yeah I can't wait.' Lily said and she couldn't help but smile. She was so happy for her best friend, that she had finally found the perfect man with whom she hopefully in a couple of hours would be starting a family with. 'Are you ready to become a grandfather?' she suddenly asked.

'Well I'm not really her grandfather, so I'm not sure they'll want me to have that role in her life.' Gibbs said.

'I don't really know you and Tony that well, but I do know how Tony feels about you and he definitely sees you as a father figure.' Lily replied as they reached room 204 where they sat down in the chairs waiting for the moment where they would her the cry from baby DiNozzo.

'C'mon Lauren one more push and I think we'll get this little girl out.' Dr. Brown told her.

'You can do it baby, we're nearly there.' Tony said as he stroke her hair, which was all wet with sweat.

Lauren took one last deep breath before she gave her final push. Tony saw to his joy as their little girl slipped the rest of the way out and Dr. Brown quickly cleaned her up before wrapping her in a pink towel and placing her in Lauren's arms.

'I can't believe she is really here. Look at how beautiful she is.' Lauren said with tears in her eyes.

Tony moved closer and looked into his daughters beautiful eyes. Had he really been a part of making such a beautiful child, he thought to himself.

'She is so beautiful, just like her mother. You did great honey.' Tony said as he placed a kiss on Lauren's forehead. 'I'll go get the others.'

Tony stepped out of the room and saw all of his friends sitting there. 'Would you like to come meet my daughter?'

The group of people all smiled as they rose from the waiting chairs. Abby was clapping happily in her hands while jumping up and down.

'Oh my god I can't wait to see her.' she said as they all entered the room and looked at the little girl with light brown hair lying in her mother's arms.

'Everyone say hello to Kendall Emily DiNozzo.' Tony said with pride in his voice.

There was a sound of applause from their friends and Lauren's mother let a tear of joy and proudness run down her cheek as she heard her name for the first time.

'Gibbs would you like to be the first to hold your granddaughter?' Lauren asked as she handed him Kendall.

Gibbs wore a huge grin on his face as he reached out and took a hold of his granddaughter for the first time. As he looked into her eyes he couldn't help but think back to the first time he held Kelly in his arms. He shook the thought away and returned his attention to the little girl squishing in his arms.

After everyone had had their turn with holding Kendall did they leave the two new parents alone with their little girl.

Tony sat on the bed next to Lauren with Kendall in his arms. 'I am so proud of you Lauren, you were incredible today.'

'I could not have done it without you.' Lauren replied as she smiled up at him before placing a kiss on his mouth.

Soon Lauren fell asleep and Tony putted a now sleeping Kendall down in her crib. He sat himself down in the chair next to the crib and starred down at his daughter with pure love in his eyes. How could you fall in love with someone so fast, he thought.
