The honeymoon was absolutely perfect. Getting to be with Tony all alone away from all the drama and everything they had both been through. Their days consisted of drinking on the beach, watching the sun go down and come up. Tony held his wife in his arms not believing for himself it was real. The man that could not be held down was now a married man. The fact that his wife would be able to work with him was just amazing to him. As much as they enjoyed the warm weather and the sand between their toes, after a week it was time to get back to Washington and get to work.
The first day as a special agent Deanna was extremely nervous. How was this going to work with her and Tony being married? Kate offered Deanna her desk so that Tony could be right across from her. But it wasn't until they got a case call that Deanna was the most embarrassed she had been in her life.
"Grab your gear. We got a dead navy seal." Gibbs said grabbing his coffee.
"Did he just say grab your rear?" Deanna questioned.
Tony couldn't keep a straight face. Gibbs walked back over to their desks and gives Tony a swift slap to the back of the head.
"What did you find funny about what I said?" Gibbs asked.
"Nothing boss" Tony replied.
"Let's roll, Tony go gas up the truck." Gibbs demanded.
"Grab your rear. That's a good one honey." Tony laughed.
"I am so sorry about that I didn't mean for him to hit you" Deanna apologized.
"That's just Gibbs for ya." Tony smirked.
Once they got the evidence, Kate agreed to take it to Abby. In the lab, Abby had her music blaring.
"Hey Abs I have the evidence from the crime scene." Kate shouted.
Abby whirled around really quick and smiled when she realized it was Kate. She smiled and turned down her music.
"Oh good it's you. I figured Gibbs would have sent one of the DiNozzo's over here." Abby spat.
"What's wrong with the DiNozzo's? You've always liked Tony." Kate asked.
"Can I talk to you and you promise it won't get back to Tony?" Abby asked.
"Sure Abby. What's up?"
"Well, there's a lot about Tony Deanna doesn't know about. Has he told her about Ziva?"
"Abby if he hasn't I'm sure he will in time." Kate said trying to comfort Abby.
"It's just not fair Kate." Abby said picking up Bert and holding him tight "I have always had feelings for Tony, but he doesn't feel the same. I guess I'm not his "type". I tried to get close to him and hoped he would see me as someone who could love him. But then Ziva came along and stole his attention. After Ziva left, I thought that was my chance to move in and have Tony for myself. Then you guys went to Oklahoma and he brings back a girl that he is just madly in love with and decides to marry. Kate where is the fairness in that? Plus, Ziva probably doesn't even know he's married. She would be broken hearted to if she came back and found out." Abby said crying.
"It's ok Abby" Kate said hugging Abby "It's all part of his charm. But it's no reason to be mad at him or to take it out on Deanna. He has made his choice and we have to live with it."
"Yeah I guess you're right." Abby cried "I just really miss my best friend."
Over the next few weeks it was business as usual. But one morning was going to change all the agents lives forever. Deanna and Tony got to work and sat their stuff down at their respected desks.
"Deanna you don't look so good" McGee said.
Kate walks in and sees Deanna real pale. "Please tell me you are not like your husband and opened a letter that has the pneumonic plague."
"Very funny Kate" Tony smirked "I could have died!"
"Would've been a lot quieter around here." Kate smirked back.
Deanna grabbed the trash can under her desk and began to throw up.
"Tony did you give her food poisoning?" McGee questioned.
"No why would I do that?" Tony asked.
Gibbs walked in and took one look at Deanna. "You look like hell"
"Good morning to you too boss" Deanna replied.
"You know if your sick you probably shouldn't go out in the field. You could go home and get some rest and come back tomorrow." Gibbs tried to convince his new agent.
"I'm fine boss really. I just think it's one of those 24 hour bugs. I can still work." Deanna explained trying to clean up a bit.
"Great grab your gear when are going to investigate a shooting." Gibbs said.
As they were all grabbing their gear, Tony walked over to his wife.
"Are you sure you're ok?" He asked.
"Never better." Deanna lied. It seemed like any little smell was making her nauseous. She wondered really what is going on with me? Why am I so sick?
Once they got out to the scene, Gibbs started delegating tasks.
"Carter I want you to take pictures, Todd, DiNozzo I want you to look for evidence. McGee you're with me." Gibbs yelled.
Deanna felt like she could be ok until she seen all the blood and the smell of the body made her sick again.
"I am so sorry boss." Deanna apologized.
"My dear you are running a fever." Ducky said feeling of her forehead. "I would suggest going and getting checked out for good measure."
"Go ahead Carter. We got it covered here. DiNozzo, take her to Bethesda." Gibbs said very concerned about Deanna's condition.
"On it boss." Tony replied.
He helped his wife to the car and drove her to the hospital. The ride was quiet besides the sounds of Deanna getting sick. Tony tried to keep her hair pulled back as he drove, but that was a bit of a challenge. He was worried about her. What could have made her so sick? After several blood tests, Dr. Pitt came in.
"Tony good to see ya. How have you been?" Dr. Pitt asked.
"Would be better if I knew what was going on with my wife." Tony said holding Deanna's hand. He was so scared. He couldn't lose her, not this soon.
"Well most of the tests came back normal expect for one that came back positive." Dr. Pitt explained.
"Oh my gosh what is it?" Deanna worriedly asked.
"Well…." the doctor paused "you guys are going to be parents! Your pregnant!"
"Pregnant?" Deanna asked
"We're going to have a baby?!" Tony exclaimed.
"You sure are congrats you too! I know Team Gibbs will be excited as well." The doctor said "If you guys need anything let me know."
"We're going to be parents!" Tony screamed. He couldn't believe it. This made his heart overjoyed.
On the way back to their apartment, they tried to come up with a clever way of telling Team Gibbs.
"Is there really a right or wrong way to tell them?" Deanna asked
"I wouldn't think so. We could all meet over at Gibbs place and tell them this evening." Tony suggested.
Tony made all the phone calls to the other agents while Deanna laid down to try and feel better. Tony told each agent they found out what's wrong with Deanna but they wanted to sit everyone down to tell them.
That night Deanna was nervous about telling anyone. Would Gibbs now kick her off the team knowing she's pregnant? At dinner Tony raised a glass and tapped it with his fork.
"Thank you all for coming on such short notice. This has been a very scary time for Deanna and myself and I know scarier days are ahead, but we are glad that we have the backing of a family such as you guys. With that, Deanna please stand up."
Deanna stood up next to Tony and he put his arm around her waist.
"We are going to have a baby! We're pregnant!" Tony exclaimed with a huge smile.
None of the other agents could believe it. DiNozzo as a dad was kind of a scary thought.
Each one gave their congratulations and hugs to the new parents. Abby wasn't too thrilled with idea but at least told them congratulations.
Gibbs gave it a lot of thought that night. What was he going to do with a pregnant agent?
The next morning, he broke the news to Deanna.
"I don't want you getting hurt or killed while you're carrying a little DiNozzo. I want you to work here out of the office until the babies born." Gibbs explained.
"Boss I will be fine really. Tony can help watch my six and we will be fine." Deanna pleaded.
"Carter, that's an order. You can help Abby and work out of MTAC. I can't take the risk."
"Ok boss." Deanna said. She wasn't thrilled about the idea. Little did she know that Tony was behind Gibbs putting her on desk duty. He wanted this baby so bad and couldn't handle Deanna or the baby getting killed.
As time went on Deanna's belly grew. She looked adorable being pregnant, but to herself she looked like a fat cow. Her ankles had already started swelling. Tony convinced her to go home and he would be there after he finished his case.
Tony was working his case and out of nowhere was shot in the chest and died before he ever hit the ground. No other agents around until it was already too late. Gibbs called Deanna.
"Deanna I have some really bad news, Tony has been killed." Gibbs cried.
Deanna cried their baby would never know it's father.
With that Deanna sat straight up in bed. She looked over to Tony's side of the bed seen him there sound to sleep. It was all just a bad dream. He was still alive! Deanna rolled over and cuddled up to Tony and cried.
"What's wrong?" Tony yawned.
"I thought you were dead." Deanna cried.
"I am right here." Tony said putting his arms around her. "I promised I would protect you and I promise I will protect our baby."
What will the DiNozzo's do in preparation for the baby, what will they be having, and did Deanna's dream mean something? New Chapter up soon! Please review.
