The Saturday after the case the teams got together to celebrate their win. The party had been going on for an hour now. Bella was cooking in the kitchen, while Tony, who was 'nice enough to offer', was manning the grill. Both Tony's team and Bella's were outside sitting around tables drinking beer, or scotch in Ducky's case.
"Bella whats wrong?" Bella looked at the teenager, who was helping her. "You seem off today."
"Nothings wrong Kayla" Bella said. "I'm just tired." Trying to change the subject Bella turned the young woman "Why don't you and I go shopping tomorrow? We haven't done that in awhile."
What neither team, or Gibbs knew was how close was to Leon Vance. When she was out training with G and Sam, Jackie invited Bella over for dinner. After the kids went to bed Jackie was talking to Bella about how her 8 year old had been acting out and she couldn't figure out why. Bella offered to help out and took Kayla out for lunch, mani/pedis, followed by some shopping and ice cream. During the day Bella had found out that Kayla was getting bullied at school but was too scared to tell anyone. After Bella had held Kayla's hand while the young girl told her parents, Bella gave her, her cell phone number, telling her to call or text anytime she needed or wanted. While Bella was in D.C. and the Vance's were in L.A., Bella made a special trip once a year to visit Kayla and her family. Thus began the girls friendship.
"I would like that" Kayla said smiling at her friend.
"Good" Bella said smiling back. "Now how about we get these veggies out there before the men whine."
After everyone had eaten, Tony, who was sitting a table away from his wife, talking with McGee, Derek Davis and Michael Stephens, walked over to his wife and whistled, gaining everyone's attention. He wrapped his arms around Bella, from behind, and pulled her close.
"DiNozzo!" Tobias Fornell yelled "Get your hands off my daughter."
"Actually dad" Bella started "we have something to tell you."
The pair reached in their pants pockets and placed their wedding rings on. "What are those?" Ziva asked.
"Well my dear little probie" Tony said glancing at her before looking at the two men he was very scared of at the moment, "they are our wedding rings."
Gibbs, Fornell, and Vance all spit out the beer they had just taken a sip of. "Your what?!" Gibbs yelled.
Abby jumped up and hugged Tony first, who gave a small hug back, then she hugged Bella congratulating her.
Ziva muttered something in Arabic, that no one understood. McGee, Davis and Stephens just sat back and watched the show, knowing that the overprotective father and uncle were going to try and kick Tony's ass but knew that Bella wouldn't let them.
"Bella why didn't you tell me?" Kayla asked, a little hurt.
Bella knelled in front of her younger friend "I am sorry. We started dating about 6 months ago and I fell in love with him right away. You know the saying love at first sight?" Kayla nodded. "That happened to me. I saw him across the bar" Bella said looking behind her into her husbands eyes "and I fell in love. I am sorry I didn't tell you but it all happened so fast." Bella said standing up, now looking at her father. "We kept it quiet because not only are you my father, but my uncle is Tony's boss and we didn't want to cause any problems. The trip to Vegas I took two months ago by myself." Fornell nodded trying to hold his temper.
"Well she wasn't alone. I went with her. That trip to Miami?" Gibbs nodded "It wasn't Miami it was Vegas." Trying to calm the older men down Tony explained. "We were planning on getting married when we went out there, it just happened. I did propose and she accepted but she also suggested just getting married right away."
"The weekend you took off shortly after your trip?" McGee asked.
"We moved my stuff here" Tony answered seconds before he heard.
"I'm going to kill you" scream from one of the older men.
Bella quickly stood in front of the man she loved more than anyone else. "Dad," she said calmly but with a firm tone "You are not going to touch him. Especially since in 7 months I'm having your grandchild."
"What?!" the two men on either side of her said in unison.
Bella turned to Tony. "I wanted to tell you later tonight. I just found out yesterday when the doctor checked out my cut on my leg. He wanted to do blood test for infection and when he came back he told me. It was while you were getting your eye check out" Bella said touching his hurt eye softly.
"I'm gonna be a daddy?" Tony asked with tear filled, but bright eyes. Bella nodded and Tony screamed picking up his wife "I'M GONNA BE A DADDY!"
Everyone clapped and congratulated the pair. They were all caught up in the excitement that no one saw the two men that left the party.
A/N What do you think? Is Gibbs pissed off that Tony married Bella or is he just pissed off because they didn't tell him they were involved? Do you think that Tobias will calm down. Guess you'll have to wait and see. Hopefully I'll write more today or tomorrow.
