Jason ordered in Chinese food for everyone in NCIS and TAC. Gibbs had to smile, Chinese food was always one of Tony's favorites when he had to work late and eat at his desk. To watch TJ sit and eat at Tony's old desk it was as if he seen Tony sitting over there for a second. He knew he would do whatever it took to get justice for Tony's death.

Jason wiped his face with a napkin before he sat out his next move.

"Ok guys. We have the jury right where we want them. So if it scared the biggest majority of you. But we needed that raw reactions. Gibbs we are putting you on the stand in the morning. Marissa I want you in my ear tomorrow. TJ and Tonya I want you to stay here tomorrow. I want it to be as if Tonya is in the hospital after today's incident." Jason explained.


The next day Jason walked into the courtroom looked worn out and stressed.

"Before we begin, Dr. Bull how is your daughter doing?" The judge asked.

"Better" Jason answered. The jury could tell that the poor guy didn't sleep at all over night.

"I would like to call Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs to the stand." Davenport said.

Gibbs walked up to the stand and took his seat.

"Agent Gibbs Tell me a little about your agents Tony DiNozzo and now his daughter Agent Tonya DiNozzo-Bull."

It was all Gibbs could do to keep it together. Just to think about it brought back some many memories. Memories he had pushed back from his mind for 20 years and now it was like the wound of losing Tony was reopened.

"Agent Tony DiNozzo was a bright young man. When I found out he was shot it broke my heart. I had faith that he would pull through. Sadly we had to let him go. He was on life support but he was brain dead. His babies never had the chance to know what an amazing dad they had. Shortly after their mom Deanna Carter DiNozzo was killed right in front me and died in Dr. Bull's arms. What kind of monster would kill someone who was pregnant?" Gibbs was breaking down in tears, something McGee had never seen his boss do. "Tonya and TJ are all I have left of Tony. I am their surrogate grandfather if you will. The fact that Tali David tried to snatch Tonya away from us by sending her the plague. We almost lost her when that happened. The fact that she almost died here yesterday. I can't and I know her adopted parents wouldn't be able to handle losing her. And it makes it worse when it's someone with the same blood as you." Gibbs explained.

"No further questions your honor." Davenport said.

"Well Jason the good news is all the jury members are still in the green." Marissa said. Tonya and TJ smiled at each other. Things were starting to go according to plan.

"Here we go for the closing arguments. Jason said.

"Tali was programmed to this since she was a young child. She respected her mother and wanted to respect her dying wishing and get revenge on NCIS. But never should she have acted on this and for that she should have to pay for what she did." Davenport said.

"Yes Miss David might have planned out her revenge but she was stupid to go through with what her mother ordered. I beg of you to please go easy on her because she was poisoned by her mother and brainwashed to do this." Jackson said.

The jury left to deliberate. The judge ordered them to come back the following day for the verdict. Tali knew she was getting off of this. There was no way they could convict her of this. She didn't kill anyone she wasn't an assassin like her mother.


The next morning Tonya came in to the courtroom with some help walking in from her father and Uncle Benny. She was still acting like she was really weak. The courtroom erupted in clapping when they saw her walk in. She wasn't doing it for the praise, she was doing it to get Tali behind bars once and for all.

"Has the jury reached a verdict?" The judge asked.

"Yes your honor. We the jury find 27 year old Tali David guilty of attempted murder of a federal agent and guilty of planned terrorism on a federal agency." The head juror said.

"Miss David I hereby sentence you to life in federal prison without the possibility of parole." The judge said.

Tonya couldn't believe it and neither could anyone else. Tali was taken away in handcuffs as the members of TAC and NCIS hugged one another. They finally felt like they could move on from this horrible experience.


Tonya decided to take some time off from NCIS to spend a little bit of time with her NYC family. TJ turned in his badge and resignation. He was going to start to Harvard to become a lawyer. While Tonya was on leave, Marissa decided to get her revenge on Jason for what he pulled in the courtroom and she was going to use Tonya to help her. Jason was always so used to having Marissa in his ear during jury selections.

"Marissa how are we looking?" Jason asked

"Actually Marissa's not here right now Dr. Bull." Cable answered.

"Cable? Where is she?" Jason asked.

"Not sure. Tonya and Marissa left just a little bit ago so you have me manning the monitors." Cable answered back.

Jason was pissed. How could they just walk out on him like that, without even giving him a clue that they were leaving. When he got back to TAC, he was pacing until Marissa and Tonya walked in.

"Where the hell have you two been?" Jason spat.

"Jason, I had to take our daughter to the doctor." Marissa said trying to call her husband down.

"Why didn't you tell me I could have went with you guys." Jason said calming down a bit.

"It's not really the kind of doctor I would have wanted you to go with me to dad." Tonya popped in.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jason asked leaning against a table crossing his arms.

"There's no easy way in saying this dad…" Tonya said looking down. She then put a hand on her stomach and looked up "I'm pregnant."

"You what?" Jason yelled catching everyone in TAC's attention. "Who is this guy? How far along are you? You know you don't have options. You know how I feel about stuff like that and don't even get your Uncle Benny started. If you don't want the baby your mom and I will raise it. Cable I want you to start looking on Tonya's facebook see if she has been posting anything about a guy in the past 3 months. Once she finds that, Dani I want you to find this guy and bring him to me. I want to have a long talk with him. And young lady you are in big trouble. I let you go to D.C. to work at NCIS and you come back pregnant. I don't think so. Your moving back to New York." Jason ranted and raved.

Marissa and Tonya just looked at each other and busted out laughing.

"What's so funny? You think bringing a young life into this world is hilarious. Let me tell ya you won't be laughing when that baby comes out of you." Jason went on.

"Dad that's not why we are laughing. I'm not pregnant." Tonya admitted.

"What?" Jason said shaking his head.

"It's true Jason. We just wanted to get back at you for what you did to us in the courtroom." Marissa said.

"You mean to tell me this was all a prank?" Jason asked.

"Every bit of it." Marissa laughed.

"Prove it." Jason said

"Had a feeling you would say that." Tonya pulled out a pregnancy test that read negative.

"So you're really not pregnant." Jason said looking at the test.

"Sure not." Tonya smiled.

Jason took her in his arms. "Keep it that way till your 40." Jason whispered into his daughter's ear. Causing her to let out a chuckle.


When Tonya returned to NCIS things were different. Her brothers desk was cleared out and she felt like she was alone.

"Do you know where an Agent Gibbs is?" said a tall handsome man that was standing in front of her desk. Forming words suddenly became hard for her.

"Um…a…he should be here any minute. Who are you?" Tonya asked

"Where are my manners. I'm Special Agent Chris Matthews from the New York office. I am being transferred down here." The young man said.

"Oh really huh." Tonya said leaning back in her chair. "New York? That's where I was raised. Well I was born here in D.C. but was raised by my adopted parents in New York City."

"You've got to be kidding me! I was raised in New York City too!" Chris said. "I was also adopted."

Tonya's head was spinning. This new agent had so much in common with her.

"Grab your gear." Gibbs said coming in grabbing his sig.

"Actually boss, we have a new agent taking over TJ's spot." Tonya said stopping her grandfather.

"Oh so we do. What's your name son?" Gibbs asked.

"Special Agent Chris Matthews. Are you Special Agent Gibbs?" Chris asked.

"I am. Grab your stuff. We can talk in the car." Gibbs said as they hurried out the door to the crime scene.


After they returned it had been a long day.

"Would you like to go grab a coffee? If we are going to be partners, we should get to know each other a little bit better." Chris suggested.

Tonya smiled and nodded. Partners. She wished she could watch more than just his six. Over coffee they began to learn more about each other.

"So do you know why you were adopted?" Chris asked taking a sip of his coffee.

"My parents were both Special Agents with NCIS. My dad was shot inside our house by my mom's ex-boyfriend. He was shot in the chest and it shredded his heart. Shockingly he didn't die right away. He was placed on life support until they were given no hope. My mom was framed for his murder. During the trial she met a guy named Jason Bull." Tonya explained.

"Jason Bull…You're not talking about the Dr. Jason Bull that owns TAC are you?" Chris asked all excited.

"That's the one! My mom and Dr. Bull started dating. Sadly, a year after my dad's death the same guy came into headquarters and shot my mom. Turned out she was pregnant with Dr. Bull's baby and died in his arms. He had planned on proposing to her that day." Tonya continued. She could tell Chris was wiping tears from his eyes. "My mom's dying wish was that Dr. Bull watch after my twin brother and I. So Dr. Bull ended up adopting us and we have been the Bull family ever since."

"So you are the daughter of Dr. Bull? Oh my gosh! I am a huge fan of his work! Do you think I could meet him?" Chris freaked out.

"I am sure I could arrange something. So tell me your story." Tonya grinned.

"Well first off I am 25 now. When I was five, we were dad was driving us home from a military dinner. My dad was a marine and my mom was an FBI agent. I was asleep in the back seat and never knew what happened. A drunk driver hit our car head on killing my parents instantly. An FBI agent close to our family ended up adopting me and I grew up in New York City." Chris said wiping the tears from his eyes.

"It's a wonder our paths never crossed before now." Tonya said.

Chris placed his hand on top of Tonya's.

"I wish they would have. But now here we working as agents together under the same roof." Chris said.

All that kept going through Tonya's mind was she could be Mrs. Tonya Matthews. Her mind wandered of marrying Chris, with Jason walking her down the aisle, Jimmy doing the ceremony, Dani and Cable being her bridesmaids. Then in her head she could hear Gibbs screaming at her to not forget about rule 12. This probie would make it very hard not to break that rule.

New chapter up soon. Please review.
