####################
The cab pulled up in a parking lot by the Eiffel Tower and Gibbs' brow furrowed.
"We're not going to the Eiffel Tower." Tony smirked as he paid the cab driver and opened his door. The three of them climbed out of the cab and Tony took Tali's hand. "This way." He started walking towards the river and glanced over at Gibbs just as his husband saw their destination. A satisfied smile filled Tony's face as he paused and spoke to Gibbs. "It's called the Cristal Two. We'll take a trip around the Seine River, have a nice lunch, and see the sights from the water."
Gibbs was staring at the small boat that had large glass windows allowing for an unobstructed view of its surroundings, there were open sections as well as the top deck being completely open, and he could see the people already milling around inside.
Tali was already pulling on Tony's hand trying to get him to start walking again.
"Thought it was something you might like." Tony continued to smile at Gibbs.
Taking the few steps to his husband, Gibbs stopped in front of the younger and smile. "Definitely."
"Well then let's go." Tony grabbed Gibbs' hand and the three of them started towards the boat.
Stepping on board, Tony led them towards the front of the boat, stopping a little over half way at the tables set up face out towards the city. "This should be good." Tony picked up Tali and placed her in one of the chairs as she giggled. That was when he felt the body behind him, could almost feel the warm touching him, then the hand on his hip as the lips almost touched the shell of his ear. Thank you. It's perfect. The words whispered in his ear made his eyes close momentarily and a shiver run through his body. He leaned back slightly letting their bodies touch. "I'm glad you like it." Warm lips pressed a quick kiss to his neck then the closeness was gone as Gibbs sat down leaving a chair between himself and Tali. Taking a quick deep breath, Tony sat down and a voice in French, then English explained the sights they would see, the length of the tour and that the wait staff would be around to take everyone's orders. A few minutes later the boat pulled out of dock and started up the Seine.
Gibbs felt the smooth movement of the ship and smiled as his whole body relaxed.
"It's amazing the effect water has on you." Tony physically felt Gibbs relax saw the happiness on the man's face.
"There's just something about being on the water." Gibbs leaned closer. "Especially being here with the two of you."
Tony's hand touched Gibbs' cheek. "Sweet Gibbs is so sexy."
Someone casually cleared their throat and Gibbs and Tony looked up to see a Waiter standing beside them. Gibbs saw Tony blush and couldn't help but chuckle. Hiding a grin, the waiter explained the menu options that lunch would be served at noon, the cheese platter would arrive shortly and he would get them anything they would like to drink.
"Coffee, black."
Tony smiled. "Same and an apple juice."
The waiter nodded and smiled as he walked away from the table.
Putting his arm on the back of Tony's chair, Gibbs gazed out at the view.
Tali climbed into Tony's lap and sat down looking out at the view like Gibbs. She suddenly pointed at a building. "Musee d'Orsay."
"Yes it is." Tony kissed her temple.
She turned to Gibbs. "We saw an orchestra there."
"You did?"
She nodded. "I played a violin."
"Wow." Gibbs listened intently as she continued her story.
"It made weird noises." She held her hands up as if playing the instrument. "Loud high noises when I went like this." She moved her hand back and forth as if running a bow over invisible strings.
Gibbs smirked as she swayed back and forth playing the invisible instrument. Then she broke into a fit of laughter.
The waiter returned with the drinks. "Lunch will be served in half an hour." A quick nod and the waiter disappeared.
Gibbs took a long swig of his coffee. Tali picked up her cup and did the same.
"Can we go up to the deck?" She asked Gibbs with the DiNozzo smile.
Gibbs nodded, stood up and plucked her from Tony's lap. "Come on husband." Gibbs couldn't help but chuckled to himself when he saw the same smile play across Tony's face.
They made their way up to the observation deck and found an open spot by the railing on the right side. Tony put his elbows on the railing and looked out over the city.
"It's okay that you're going to miss it." Gibbs leaned his hip against the railing, Tali wrapped in his arm on the other hip.
Staring out at the scenery, Tony spoke. "I love Paris and I always will, but it's the past." He turned and looked at Gibbs. "DC is the future, the future I always wanted." He felt his heart flutter when he saw Gibbs smile.
"The future we've both wanted." Gibbs winked.
Turning around Tony leaned back on the rail and raised an eyebrow. "And are you going to be this attentive when we're back in DC and you're back at work?"
Gibbs' eyebrow went up.
"I mean you've rarely checked your phone. I honestly don't think you've called work other than to ask for help with the wedding."
Gibbs shrugged.
"That's not an answer." Tony smirked.
Taking a deep breath, Gibbs looked out over the water. "I've put the job first for a long time…" He shook his head. "Not anymore." His steel blue eyes locked on green. "You and Tali and my number one priority." He felt the soft touch of Tony's hand to his cheek. "Although I do still have to work."
Tony broke out laughing. "I know." He leaned towards Gibbs and spoke softly. "I'll try not to keep you up to late on a work night."
Gibbs smirked. "Oh I have no problem with you keeping me up, any night."
"Can I stay up late too?"
Gibbs and Tony looked at Tali and then each other and starting laughing.
Tony saw Gibbs' brow furrow and his husband reach into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
Looking over at Tony, Gibbs passed Tali to him. "I need to take this." He went to step away. "Lunch should be ready soon I'll meet you at the table." He kissed Tony's cheek and walked away.
##########
When Gibbs made his way to the table lunch was already sitting there and Tali and Tony were eating.
"Work?" Tony asked between bites.
"No, our flight is leaving earlier than expected." Gibbs took a bite of the chicken dish in front of him.
Tony's eyebrow went up. "Our flight is leaving early?"
"Yeah." Gibbs took another bite.
"So just exactly whose plane are we on?"
Gibbs didn't immediately answer.
"You're still not going to tell me?" Tony shook his head and took another bite.
"SecNav."
Tony coughed, half choking on the food in his mouth. He swallowed hard and picked up his glass taking a long swig to clear his throat. "You called in a favor to SecNav?"
Gibbs shook his head. "I called in a favor to Leon. Leon called in a favor to SecNav."
Eyebrow raised, Tony chuckled. "Wow there has been some major favors called in over our wedding and getting us back to DC."
"Guess we're on our own for the rest of it." Gibbs smirked and winked at Tony.
"I think we can handle it." Tony winked back and heard Tali giggle.
##########
"What about our bags?"
"Here and on the plane." Gibbs answered as he stepped out of the cab.
Tony climbed out of the cab and helped Tali out of the back seat. "I'm supposed to drop the key off to the landlord." He looked over the top of the cab at Gibbs.
"Taken care of." Gibbs tipped his head towards the sidewalk in front of the airport.
Turning around Tony smiled when he saw the landlord. "Chloe." The woman smiled and waved. He walked over with Tali.
Gibbs paid the cab driver and made his way over to the people.
"Didn't expect to say goodbye like this." Tony leaned in and kissed both her cheeks. "Thank you for all our help in making this happen so quickly."
"You are so welcome, I will miss you." She squatted down and smiled at Tali. "And I miss you the most."
"I'll miss you too Chloe." Tali let go of Tony's hand and gave Chloe a hug.
"I'll keep in touch."
"I would like that."
Reaching into his pocket Tony pulled out his key ring and slid off the two keys to the apartment. "Here you go."
"Have a safe trip." Chloe put the keys in her pocket. "When you come back to Paris stop and see me."
Tony cocked an eyebrow at her.
She chuckled. "Everyone always come back to Paris, at least for a visit."
##########
"It's HUGE!" Tali ran down the center of the cabin of the jet, then back to where Tony and Gibbs were sitting on the couch.
"I know." Tony picked her up and sat her on his lap.
"And there's a TV too." She glanced over at the TV then back and Tony. "Can we buy one?"
Tony's eyes went wide and he heard Gibbs snicker. Turning to his husbands Tony's eyes turned into a squinted glare. "This is your fault, getting a jet to fly us back to DC." He balked.
"I seem to remember you wanting NCI to get a jet after you flew for the first time in SecNav's jet." Gibbs smirked.
Tony continued to glare.
"And you were in your thirties, you knew better."
"HEY."
Gibbs laughed and leaned over and kissed Tony's cheek.
"Well I'm hoping SecNav still owes you a personal favor and maybe she'll let us have the jet for a trip back to Paris later." Tony said then stuck out his tongue.
Gibbs rolled his eyes and grabbed the TV remote from the table next to him. "Do you want to see where we are?" He asked Tali.
She nodded and climbed onto his lap.
Gibbs tapped a couple buttons and a picture of the plane's flight path appeared on the screen.
"That's us?"
"Yep."
"It's all blue."
"That's water; we're over the ocean right now."
"Cool." She stared at the screen intently for a few minutes then jumped down and went over to the screen.
"So who has the honor of picking us up at the airport?" Tony leaned back on the couch.
"Probably your dad or Fornell, not sure."
"Have you talked to Fornell?"
"Briefly, Abby told him what was going on."
"And what did he have to say?"
"About damn time."
Tony laughed. "Yeah, I'm sure you two have had some conversations in a basement about us."
"A few." Gibbs settled back watching as Tali went to her bag and pulled out a book, sat back down by the TV screen and started flipping through the pages.
"Dad will probably pick us up." Tony sighed. "He's probably going through Tali withdrawals." He leaned over putting his head on Gibbs' shoulder.
"I think everyone in DC is." Gibbs heard the slight chuckle, then Tony's breathing steady and he knew within seconds his husband would be asleep.

"You should have gotten me up sooner." Tony walked beside Gibbs and Tali, Tali holding on to Gibbs' hand as they made their way out of the airport.
"You snored." Tali said with a giggle as they reached the glass doors leading outside.
"Yes I snore, I get it." Tony scoffed.
As they walked out the doors, Tony saw the man leaning against the car and wasn't surprised.
"Papa." Tali ran to her grandfather, he was already squatted down to pick her up and she rushed into his arms.
Picking her up, Senior hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek. "I missed you little one."
"I missed you too Papa." She hugged him around the neck and kissed his cheek.
"I saw pictures of you at the wedding you looked beautiful."
She smiled proudly.
Senior looked at his son. "Sorry I missed it."
"I understand."
"I couldn't be happier for the two of you." Senior put on his hand and when his son took it he pulled Tony in and hugged him.
Hugging his father back with Tali between then she laughed and put an arm around Tony.
"Can we go home now?" Tali asked still trapped between the two men.
Gibbs chuckled and shook his head.
"Alright, home it is." Senior said as he stepped over and opened the back door revealing Tali car seat. "You carriage awaits my lady." Putting her in the car seat he strapped her in.
Gibbs had already walked around to the driver side passenger door and climbed into the back.
"Guess I'm shot gun." Tony got into the car as Senior went around to the driver's side.
Leaving the airport, Senior was talking about the wedding having seen the pictures from Abby. When he took a left when he should have went right, Tony interrupted. "Where we going."
"Just a quick stop. Tim and Delilah left a couple things at the reception hall and I said I'd pick them up on the way back." Senior made another turn. "They've been so busy and Delilah was been exhausted. Figured it's the least I could do."
"Nice of you."
"Well nice of all of us." Senior grinned. "They left some of the heavier gift's I figured I'd need the help."
Tony shook his head. "Of course."
"Don't worry, I'll drop you off at the house first and make Tim unload them all." Senior winked at his son as he turned into reception hall parking lot. Parking the car, he was out before even Tony or Gibbs could react and he made his way to Tali and plucked her out of the car seat. Taking her hand, he nodded towards Gibbs and Tony as they emerged from the car. "They said the front door would be unlocked." Walking slowly, swinging Tali's hand they reached the door and Senior opened it letting Tony and Gibbs enter first.
"SURPRISE!"
The word rang out from a flood of voices. Tony and Gibbs looked around the room completely surprised by the crowd of people that was gathered before them.
Tim approached his two friends. "We all wanted to say congratulations, since we couldn't be there for the wedding." He hugged Tony.
"Thanks Tim."
"Abby." Tali took off towards the woman who was already heading to her.
Releasing Tony, Tim walked towards Gibbs. "Congratulations boss." He held out his hand and Gibbs took it pulling the younger man to him. They embraced and then separated without words.
Senior walked up behind them and put a hand on a shoulder of each of them. "This group does love a celebration." With that he headed towards the crowd.
Fornell walked up carrying three beers. "Welcome home Mr. and Mr. Gibbs." He handed each of them a beer. "It's about damn time." Holding up the beer, they three of them tapped their bottles together. "We'll talk later." Fornell smirked at Gibbs took a swig of beer and walked away.
"Did you know about this?" Tony turned to Gibbs.
"Not at all." Gibbs took Tony's hand and pulled him close, sliding his arm around his husband. Tony settled comfortable against him. "I wanted to take you home and make love to you that night we left Tim and Delilah's reception."
"I wanted you to, but I was so scared."
"I know."
"And now, here we are." Tony smiled.
"And I still want to take you home and make love to you."
"God I love you." Tony captured Gibbs' lips and they heard the clapping and awe's ring up around them. Pulling back Tony laughed and let his hands caress up and around Gibbs' neck.
"We do have an unruly family."
"Yes we do and I wouldn't change them for all the money in the world." Tony smiled. "This is exactly the life I wanted."
"Me too." Gibbs sighed. "I love you Mr. Gibbs."
