A/N:I sorry for the delay, but I was really having trouble on how to make this work and so, here is a short chapter that hopefully signifies the end of my struggles... hope you enjoy :)

Tim couldn't have been happier. Two weeks after the day Gibbs and he had talked in his house of their feelings and everything was going great. The two men had decided to take things slow and do things right, but at the same time, they acknowledged that they already had a base to build on as they had been working together for a while.

Tim had been a little put off by the fact that he seemed to be the female one in their relationship, what with Gibbs Jethro bringing him flowers and making him feel like a nervous virgin.

Everything was going well with little Tony as well, the boy seemed to grow every day, and according to the pediatrician, the boy was doing extremely well.

Tim smiled as he rocked the baby in his lap and fed him from the bottle, but the smile faltered as he remembered that there had been bad things as well. Antonia's lawyer had been by to talk about her will, apparently she had changed it once she found out she was pregnant and Tim would raise the baby, but Marco had tried his best to keep the testament from being fulfilled and so it was weeks after her death that Tim finally got the news.

A the new will had Tony as one of the beneficiaries, Tim was to attend the meeting where the will was read, as Tony himself would be too little to represent himself. That had been a week ago and today Tim would have to go down to the lawyer's office to a meeting, concerning the will. Tim sighed as he thought about the impending meeting that would have all the beneficiaries present, including Marco.

Tim took the nipple of the bottle from his son's mouth and gently burped the baby before going to the nursery to change his diaper and put him down for a nap. Tony had just gone to sleep when McGee heard a knock on the door and he smiled.

Tim quickly made his way to the door and grinned as his lover entered as soon as the door was open. The two men shared a quick kiss and made their way to the kitchen where Tim put the coffee machine on.

"Tony asleep?" Tim smiled as he felt Jethro's hands on his hips and a kiss pressed ti his neck.

"Yeah, went out like a light"

"What time is Abby getting here?" Tim sighed at the question as it brought to his mind the appointment. They'd decided to not bring Tony to the meeting. The way Marco had reacted at the hospital was still fresh in both men's mind, so they weren't willing to take any chances.

"In half an hour"

Gibbs nodded in understanding and moved his hands to rub the tense muscles of Tim's neck and shoulders

"I know you don't want to do this, but it was her will and we need to make sure that her wishes are being honored"

Tim groaned as the knots loosened under the ex-marines talented hands "I know, but it still sucks. Thank you for coming with me" Tim turned to face the older man, who pulled him in a tight hug.

"Anytime"

They drank the coffee in silence that was only broken by the sound of Abby knocking enthusiastically on the front door.

"You're early" Tim said as greeting when he opened the door. The goth just jumped to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I just wanted to see my favorite boys!" Then she noticed Gibbs standing in the hallway with an amused half smile on his face "Bossman! You're here too" She released Tim in favor of attacking Gibbs with a giant hug.

"Well someone has to make sure McGee survives his meeting with the sharks" Gibbs winked at his lover over her shoulder.

No-one knew about their relationship yet, and for the moment the two men were happy to keep things that way.

"That's good. I can't believe that the bastard would try to take the inheritance away from Tony! You two need to show him what happened when you mess with the baby and his daddy"

"Okay, Abs. Tony is asleep in his bed, I just fed and changed him so you should be fine for a while, call me if there's anything-" Tim was nervous both of going to the stupid meeting and leaving his son after being with him so much.

"I know Timmy, just go, well be fine"

The two agents turned to leave, but once they were by the door, Tim gave the older man a sheepish smile and Gibbs was confused for a few seconds until realization dawned as he saw his lover heading to check on the baby one last time before leaving.

Abby snickered at the exchange and took the opportunity to give Gibbs one last hug and whiper in his ear a plead to take care of the younger man.

Gibbs and McGee were the first people to arrive to the lawyer's office and they sat in the conference room where the secretary had directed them, waiting for the others to arrive. Soon Tim's lawyer came in and sat next to his client and after that Marco arrived with his Representative and they all sat in silence. Marco stared daggers at the two agents, obviously a little unsettled by Gibbs' presence but determined to hide it.

Antonia's lawyer arrived sat at the head of the table.

"I see everyone is present so shall we begin?"

At everyone's nod the man continued. "Okay then, as you all know, Mrs. Rossi made a new will about six months before her death, she willed all her monetary assets and one of her well lover medallions to her still at the time unborn son. Stating that she wanted her son to have something to remember her by. The rest of her possessions she left to her husband."

Marco stood up and slammed his hand to the wooden table. "That's crap! That bastard won't get a penny of the money! He's the reason my wife is dead, that little piece of shit"

Marco's lawyer pulled his client down and in hushed voice calmed the man down as Tim's lawyer kept a restraining hand on his own clients arm as it seemed as Tim might jump down the man's throat.

"May I continue?" The solicitor asked the men around the table. At the nods he continued.

"Mr. Rossi expressed his displeasure of the fact that Anthony has been named as one of the beneficiaries, and tried to get the will deemed null. However, there is no reason as to why, Anthony McGee-Dinozzo shouldn't get his in heritage. Mr McGee, The will states that as the boy's legal guardian, you will be over seeing the assets until Anthony either finishes high school, or turns twenty one. As there is o other matters, you may leave, and we can organize the details at a later date."

McGee shook the man's hand and looked at Marco sitting on the other side if the table, talking heatedly to his lawyer. A shiver went down the agents spine at the evil grin Marco sent his way. He felt Gibbs place a hand at the small of his back and steer him out of the room with his lawyer, but all he could think of was the grin on Rossi's face and the cold feeling that had settled in his gut. He glanced at his lover and saw the worry and a hint of anger reflected in the blue eyes.

Gibbs had seen the look on Marco's face too and now he saw his own thoughts reflected by the younger man's eyes 'this is far from over'
