Tony pondered what it is he should do. He watched his little sister smile and laugh as she ate her pancakes. Gibbs had already cut them into smaller pieces for her. She was deep in conversation with Kayla and Emily. Gibbs is the father she needs. Gibbs was also the type of father he wished for ever since he was child. But that was then, now he is an adult and it is too late for him.

Gibbs watched Tony, he seemed lost in thought and he knows it is because of what they had discussed before coming to breakfast. He wishes that Tony would say yes to both adoptions. He knows that Tony will allow him to adopt Jasmine, so he is not worried about that one. He also knows that Tony will fight him on his adoption for no other reason than because he believes that he is not worthy; that he doesn't deserve to be loved.

"You're not eating." Gibbs commented to Tony.

Jasmine looked at her brother sitting next to her. He had been through so much because of her. She is happy now with her brother and Gibbs. She never had a father before, but she and her mother were really close. Her father was mean to her from the get go; things were horrible those first few days until she met Tony. Tony has been so wonderful to her and she loves him so much. He protected her from their father and he got hurt. Now all she wants is for him to be as happy as she is.

"Aren't you hungry? Try the pancakes, they are really good." Jasmine said as she put a pancake piece on her fork and fed it to him.

Tony automatically opened his mouth for the piece. Gibbs smiled at the 7 year old feeding her older brother. Jasmine tries to give him another piece.

"You eat it; I have my own right here." Tony answered and ate a piece from his plate.

Jasmine watched him eat a few more pieces before going back to her own plate.

Tony sat on the living room couch with the three girls on one side and Jared on the other as he read more from the book.

Gibbs, Fornell and Vance watched for a few moments and then headed to the kitchen.

"So how is he doing?" Vance asked.

"It is hard to say. I told him about having temporary custody of Jasmine and how I want to adopt her and him. I know he will allow Jasmine's adoption to happen because she is a little girl. I am not so sure he will allow me to adopt him though."

"He is an adult, why would he need to be adopted?" Vance asked.

"More so he could know a parent's love; but he doesn't think that he is worthy of being loved. He accepts that his sister can love him unconditionally, but that no one else will. I want to change that. He does deserve to be happy and loved, he just can't see it."

"Good luck with that one; after hearing his story yesterday I don't know how he manages to be such a good person." Fornell pointed out.

"You know Jasmine's spring break just started. Tony is off because of his injuries and his illness. Why don't you 3 take a family trip? Maybe on this vacation you can get through to Tony how much you care for him." Vance added.

Gibbs thought for a moment. He would need to have Ducky and Brad look over Tony to make sure he is capable of traveling. But where would they go? Maybe to Stillwater to see his father. Jack would absolutely adore Jasmine and maybe the four of them together will help Tony to relax and realize he is capable of being loved.

"I think that is a wonderful idea and a change of scenery for a week would do them both some good. We will leave today." Gibbs agreed.

"Don't worry about the paperwork; I will take care of it." Vance added. "We should be going so you guys can get ready to go. See you in a week."

"Have fun and good luck." Fornell said as he and Vance went to collect their children.

Gibbs called Ducky and Brad to check on Tony.

"So how far did you guys get in the book?" Gibbs asked as he walked into the room.

"They just met Mrs. Whatsit." Jasmine spoke up.

Gibbs lifted her up and sat her on his lap as he sat down next to Tony.

"Jasmine, Leon Vance tells me you are on spring break; so I thought we could take a trip." Gibbs started.

"Where would we go?" She asked.

"To Stillwater, my father lives there and he would absolutely love having you there. He just loves little girls. Kelly adored him and he spoiled her, I know that he will spoil you to." Gibbs answered before looking at Tony who seemed unsure.

"Tony I will tell you what; you can ask my father all the questions you want to while we are there."

Normally Tony would have loved an opportunity, but he swears he would just be in the way. Gibbs should go with just Jasmine, she will enjoy it. He should just back off and get out of their way before he ruins their lives. Gibbs noticed Tony was quiet, not at all excited about Stillwater like he had been the time a case took them there. He is glad that Senior is already dead or he swears he would kill him for the damage he inflicted on Tony and Jasmine.

"Tony, come on; it'll be fun." Jasmine urged.

Tony nodded still sure he is making a mistake.

"Alright Jasmine you can take anything in the room you want to bring. After checking in Stillwater we can go shopping for clothes and other things as well. After Tony gets checked how to make sure that the drive won't be too hard on him; we will go."

Tony whispered something in Jasmine's ear before she left and went upstairs to get ready to go.

"Tony we can even stop off at your storage and you can get things you might want to take with you."

Tony was going to say that wasn't necessary; that he doesn't anything. But before he could answer the doorbell rang.

"That will be Brad and Ducky." Gibbs told him.

Gibbs watched them taking turns examining Tony; going very easy because of his injuries.

"So how is he?" Gibbs asked.

"Hard to say right now. His lungs don't sound any better, but they also don't sound any worse." Brad answered first.

"His other injuries are going to heal slowly. The one we still have to worry about the most is, are the broken ribs. But he should be fine as long as you drive carefully." Ducky warned.

Gibbs smiled. He wouldn't be a crazy driver, not with an injured Tony and a child in the car. If it was just Tony and he wasn't badly injured, then he would drive normal for him.

"Okay, I am ready." Jasmine announced.

The adults all smiled at the little girl dressed up as Princess Jasmine.

Please Please Review they make me so happy.

This in the end of this story. There will probably be a sequel. Their vacation in Stillwater.
