Orli and Tali had been chatting away about everything Paris, the move back to DC, their new house with Gibbs, her room, the wedding, and everyone in DC. Although most of the conversation was in English, several times they moved to Hebrew. Tony catching some words, but unable to follow the whole conversation. Finally, he heard the Hebrew word for goodbye and I love you, then Gibbs. Tali jumped down and ran up the up rows to Gibbs. Tony watched as Gibbs picked her up and they started a conversation.

Orli sighed and shook her head. "They grow up so fast."

"Yes they do."

She turned and smiled at Tony. "You're doing an amazing job with her."

"Thank you." He paused. "She's my life."

Glancing a couple rows up, Orli watched as Tali laughed at something Gibbs said to her then smiled and nodded excitedly as he pulled a book out of his bag. She settled down in his lap with her back against his chest as he started reading to her.

"You're happy?"

Tony sighed then smiled. "Happier than I've ever been." He looked back over at Orli. "And so is Tali."

"I know." Orli nodded. "She loves him too."

"He would give his life for her."

Orli chuckled. "I know he would. Gibbs is one of the most loyal men I know. He provided that countless times to Ziva…the only loyalty that was stronger was his loyalty to you." She paused. "Ziva knew that and came to understand it."

"Gibbs called you, told you I needed to go to Paris?"

She nodded. "But I wanted to see Tali and you. I only asked him to keep my name out of it because I know how you feel about Mossad."

"Yeah."

"But the truth is he didn't need my help." She smiled. "You would have been on this plane whether or not I had requested it."

"I know." Tony glanced up as a Mossad agent approached. The man whispered something in Orli's ear and she nodded. "I should get back to my seat."

"I have some things to go over before we reach Paris."

He stood up and stepped into the aisle, he was about to walk away and stopped turning back to Orli. "Tali loves you and you are always welcome in our home and you can call whenever you want."

"Thank you." Orli was truly moved by the sentiment.

Making his way back up the aisle, he slid by Gibbs and sat down in the seat next to where Gibbs was still reading to Tali.

Gibbs paused as Tony stared at him.

Tony leaned over and gently brushed a kiss to Gibbs' lips.

Gibbs brow furrowed. "What was that for?"

Tony shook his head. "Just for being you."

Stepping into the apartment, Tony looked around instantly feeling like he was in some foreign world. He felt the man brush past him. "Um down the hall to your left." Gibbs took the direction and carried sleeping Tali down the hall. Closing the door, Tony took a few steps into the living room and just stood there taking in the place as if he were seeing it for the first time. How could he feel so disconnected and uneasy in a place he had called home for over a year? He felt the arms circle his waist from behind and he was gently pulled against the body behind him. Tony settled back against the form feeling the uneasiness instantly disappear. This being in Gibbs' arms was what home was now.

"She never woke up, just snuggled in." Gibbs lips brushed against Tony's neck. "She is definitely like you when it comes to sleep." When there was no response, he tightened his hold on Tony. "I felt the same way the first time I stepped into the house after Shannon and Kelly's death." Gibbs took a deep breath and blew it out. "It was like stepping into a place that I had this strange familiarity with but that was now completely askew, off in every way."

Tony turned around in Gibbs' arms. He grabbed Gibbs' face with both hands and captured the man's lips. It was full of love and passion, a desperate need to express everything he was feeling in a singular action. "I don't want to wait." Tony sighed. "I want to marry you as soon as possible. You, me and Tali, that's all I need. None of this." He glanced around the room. "None of it matters. I just want to be back in our home as a family."

Gibbs nodded as he pulled Tony closer.

"I mean it." Tony was adamant. "This is just stuff and I don't care if we just toss it in the street."

"We'll take care of it." Gibbs reply was just as adamant.

"I'm serious Jethro."

Gibbs' eyebrow went up at Tony's rare use of his name. "So am I." He let his fingers caress back and forth across the small of Tony's back. "Take a breath." He stood there waiting and with an eye roll Tony took a deep breath. "We'll get some sleep and tomorrow we'll handle it, whatever it takes."

Tony opened his mouth to speak and Gibbs spoke instead.

"I promise we will get this done as quickly as possible." Gibbs blue eyes bore into panicked green. "And I will be here until it's done."

Tony's mouth closed and he nodded.

Kissing Tony's forehead, Gibbs felt the hand on his chest, felt the palm press firmly against him feeling the heartbeat. He knew Tony's eyes were closed, knew the younger man was absorbing the steady heartbeat to calm himself. His own eyes closed as he let himself get lost in the moment, knowing exactly how Tony felt, and what he needed. They had wasted so much time both knew how fleeting time can be, and how in a blink of an eye your whole world can change. The emotion, that intense feeling of loss and not wanting to ever take time and people for granted can hit at any time. This trip just happened to be the catalysis for Tony. When the hand at his chest slowly caressed up his chest and to his cheek, Gibbs let his eyes flutter open and he was gazing into the intense green eyes. Eyes no longer filled with worry, but filled with a seething hunger, a look Gibbs already knew too well. Before he could even prepare himself he was slammed against the closest wall, his lips savagely attacked as Tony's hands tore at his belt. When the belt buckle was finally undone, he was pulled forward by the belt, and shoved down the hallway towards an open door.

Never breaking the kiss Tony reached the bedroom and kick the door shut behind them. Even as he threw them both onto the bed, their lips never separated and now Gibbs hands were fisted in his hair. Ripping open the button and zipper on Gibbs' pants, Tony jerked Gibbs' pants down just enough for the already hard cock to spring free. When Tony's hand wrapped around Gibbs' cock and his thumb roughly rubbed across the head, their lips were ripped apart as Gibbs let out a low guttural moan of pleasure. Looking down at the man under him, Tony licked his lips causing the blue eyes to dilate further.

Gibbs watched as Tony slithered down his body and again Gibbs knew what was coming and was still unprepared for the assault. His head falling back his hands clutching at the comforter on the bed as Tony sucked in the head of his cock. He mumbled the expletive under his breath as Tony consumed more and more of his length. When the lips reached the base of his cock his body shuddered and a second later his mouth fell open in a strangled cry as Tony devoured him with a gluttonous need that Gibbs had never experienced. He hissed as Tony's left hand found its way under his shirt and clawed up his ribcage then dug in, clinging to his body in desperation. Involuntarily, Gibbs hips had started to thrust downward and without even realizing it he was fucking himself on the fingers that Tony and thrust inside him. He was writhing and moaning quietly begging for more, begging to come then begging Tony to fuck him. How long he begged he didn't know and he didn't care, but suddenly the fingers inside him hit his prostate full force, he thrust upward as every muscle in his body tensed and his hand balled into the blanket jerked upward pulling it towards him as he screamed into the waded up blanket muffling the scream. Then his muscles relaxed and he melted into the bed, the blanket fall back down on the bed.

Still drowning in the sexual abyss, Gibbs forced himself to take a deep breath, his deprived lungs stinging as they filled with air. Sensing the body above him, knew exactly what was about to come. Instinctively, he reached up, his arms wrapping around Tony's torso as his legs were pushed apart. His aching lungs expelled the breath he'd just taken as Tony's cock was suddenly buried inside him. Digging his fingers into Tony's back, Gibbs locked a leg around Tony's waist trying to draw the younger man even closer. He felt the head on his shoulder and Gibbs turned biting at Tony's earlobe. Growling words of want, desire and need into Tony's ear, Gibbs completely surrendered. This, this was some primal madness and willingly, Gibbs descended into the madness with the man he loved. Gibbs lost all sense of anything accept their entwined bodies and the pleasure that surged through them. Even as Tony lost control and came, it wasn't until he felt the intense pressure on his chest that he realized they were no longer making love. That connect was still there and that was all that mattered. The pressure disappeared at some point and that was when he fell asleep still unsure if it was sleep or he'd blacked out.
