Gibbs gave it some serious thought before he decided to offer his surprises to the new couple. Deanna really had no training, but he was willing to take that chance and see where it went. Gibbs called everyone into the bullpen for a meeting.
"As you know our Agent DiNozzo is getting married. And with his fiancé Ms. Carter left everything she knows to be able to be with him. Deanna that takes dedication. That type of dedication is what I want on my team. Will you accept becoming one of agents?" Gibbs stated.
Deanna couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her as Special Agent Carter NCIS?
"Nothing would make me happier sir." Deanna replied.
Tony whispered into her ear "He don't like it very much when we call him sir so we call him boss."
"No DiNozzo that's only when you call me sir" Gibbs said slapping the back on Tony's head.
As the rest of the team welcomed Deanna, Abby stood back watching. How could they let HER be a part of OUR team she thought. This was a family and by them bringing in a newcomer with no experience would just rip the family apart. McGee noticed that Abby was standing all by herself and approached her.
"Aren't you going to go say congrats?" McGee questioned.
"Why should I? Gibbs is tearing the family apart; Tony is marrying someone he doesn't even know…" Abby said almost to the point of throwing a temper tantrum.
"What do you really have against Deanna?" McGee asked.
"Just look at her! She's pretty, she's made Tony do a total 360. I don't even recognize him anymore. It's like he's a totally different person. He used to come down to my lab and we would lay on the floor. He would tell me about his one night stands and I would tell him about the party that I went to the night before. But ever since she came along he won't talk to me. He spends all of his time with her." Abby whined.
"You know I could come down to your lab and we could talk about our nights." McGee offered.
"Thanks McGee but it's not the same. You're not the sweet, charming, womanizing guy that Tony is." Abby added.
"If I didn't know better I would say you had a crush on him." McGee stated.
"Who Tony? Shoot no! He's like a brother to me. I just don't want to see him get hurt." Abby said. With that she turned and went back down to her lab.
It was still hard to believe that Tony was settling down for some. But for Tony it felt like the perfect thing to do. Deanna asked Kate and Abby to be her bridesmaids. Kate agreed but Abby told her to go to hell. Why was Abby like this? Tony had spoken so high of Abby even going as far as calling her a friend. Now to treat her like this was unthinkable. Deanna had not spoken to any of her friends or family back in Oklahoma for several weeks. She finally caved and told her parents about Tony. They weren't too happy at first but as long as he could protect her and love her that's all they asked. She got ahold of her friend Ginny to ask her to be a bridesmaid. Ginny flew out to D.C. to help Deanna pick out her wedding dress.
"Hi I'm Special Agent Kate Todd" Kate said shaking Ginny's hand.
"Ginny Weston. Deanna and I worked at a station in Oklahoma together." Ginny said.
As Deanna tried on dress after dress, Kate and Ginny got to know each other a little bit better.
"So tell me a little about Deanna's fiancé. She hasn't really given much details about him." Ginny asked.
"Well he's an NCIS Special Agent as well. We have worked together for years now. At first, Tony came across as a jerk, real arrogant, and not someone I could see anyone settling down with." Kate explained.
"Really and this is the guy Deanna's marrying?" Ginny questioned.
"Well that was the old Tony. After we flew out to Oklahoma and he met Deanna, everything changed. It was like a light switch came on. He became nicer, more compassionate. She has made a huge improvement in him. The man that would forever be a bachelor is now a family man. He's going to make a great husband for Deanna." Kate said.
About that time Deanna walked out in a stunning mermaid style wedding dress. It was gorgeous! It had the right amount of beading to it and fit her like a glove.
"You have to get that dress" Ginny exclaimed.
"That dress just screams you!" Kate said
"You really think so?" Deanna questioned.
"Yes! Say yes to the dress!" Ginny said.
With just a few days left before the wedding Team Gibbs decided to throw Deanna and Tony a bachelor and bachelorette parties. Gibbs had all the guys come over to his place. They had some beers and watched movies that Tony picked out which Gibbs was starting to wish he hadn't of done now. Deanna's bachelorette party was not as tame. Kate and Ginny flew her out to Las Vegas. The term what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas would be an understatement for this girl's trip. They were super wasted and a little on the rowdy side when they went to see Thunder from Down Under.
"Do you think I could take one of those Aussies back to D.C. with me?" Kate drunkenly asked. She had never been this drunk in her life!
"I don't think they would fit in our carry on" Deanna chuckled.
That was about all they remembered from that night. They were so hammered. The morning came with the torture of sunshine and hangovers. All three of the ladies were sick. How ever thought this was a good idea was wrong. Deanna laid on the bed and wondered if Tony's night had been wild and filled with strippers like hers had been. Instead Tony was passed out on the couch at Gibbs place with a James Bond movie playing in the background.
It was a hot July day when everyone gathered by a lake to wish the new couple happiness. Deanna's mom helped her get ready. As she put on the veil, Deanna began to cry.
"Am I doing the right thing mom?" Deanna cried.
"If he loves you, protects you, and makes you happy then yes. You will always be my baby girl and I will always love you." Her mom explained. It was hard to believe that just a few short months ago her baby girl was looking death in the face. Now she was looking at the rest of her life. They made their way to the wedding party. Tony was already down front waiting anxiously to see his blushing bride. Gibbs walked Ginny down the aisle and McGee walking Kate. Then there was Deanna and her father. Her dad was wiping away the tears as he walked her down the aisle. When Tony looked up to see Deanna she took his breathe away. She looked stunning. He began to cry at the site of her beauty. Gibbs peaked around to see that Tony was crying and gave him a swift slap on the back of the head.
"Boss what was that for?" Tony whispered.
"That was my wedding present to you." Gibbs whispered back.
As the minister went through the service, both Deanna and Tony's hands shook. They were nervous but was happy they had each other. Deanna looked into his big beautiful green eyes. She couldn't believe she would be able to see those eyes for the rest of her life.
"Do you Anthony D. DiNozzo Jr. take Deanna Renee Carter as your lawful wedded wife?" the minister asked.
"I do" Tony grinned.
"And Do you Deanna Renee Carter take Anthony D. DiNozzo to be your lawful wedded husband? The minister asked.
"I do" Deanna answered.
"By the power invested in me I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Tony laid a passionate kiss on Deanna's lips.
Deanna thought Deanna DiNozzo, that has a nice ring to it. She could not believe that Tony was all hers.
That evening at the reception it was everything Deanna had ever dreamed of. Getting to dance with her new husband and enjoy the company of friends and family. With all the excitement no one noticed that Abby was anywhere around. She stepped outside to make a phone call.
"I don't like any of this. She's not right for Tony. I have a plan but we will have to stretch it out. We don't want anyone getting suspicious." Abby said. She hung up the phone and went back inside.
Before the newlyweds left for their honeymoon Gibbs stopped them. He placed a hand on the back of Tony's head causing him to flinch. Instead of slapping him, Gibbs kind of caressed Tony's head.
"I'm proud of you, son." Gibbs smiled.
"Thanks boss." Tony said giving Gibbs a hug.
"You two be careful on your honeymoon don't get kidnapped or anything because I need my two agents back." Gibbs laughed.
Like that they were on their way to their honeymoon in Hawaii. While driving to the airport, what Gibbs said concerned Deanna.
"You don't really think we will be kidnapped or taken hostage do you?" Deanna asked.
"Nah that's just Gibb's sense of humor. We will be fine." Tony assured her. He took her hand.
"I love you Deanna DiNozzo." Tony said kissing her hand.
