Abby couldn't believe it. She let her sister's pregnancy slip to Tony of all people. Now Renee wasn't talking to her. Abby just left quietly to give her sister some space. She'd come around and Abby would deal with Tony later.

A loud knock awoke Renee from her opened the door, stunned and embarrassed to see Tony.

"Abby's not here."

"I'm not here for Abby. I'm here to see you." She blushed and waved him in. It was then that she noticed the bags in his arms.

"So did Abby tell you about my friend from college, Beth," Renee shook her head, "She went through the same thing as you are now five years ago. Her son, my godson Isaac, turns five in a few months. Anyway I am here to help you."

She looked at him, surprise etched on her face. From her short time knowing him, she was sure he would taunt and tease her... much like her friends did. She couldn't believe it. Unwilling, hot tears fell down her face at his kindness and offer to help her.

Tony puth the bags down on Abby's coffee table and pulled her against his chest. He remembered how Beth had struggled with Isaac and how horrible people were to her. She sobbed, her hot tears soaking his shirt.

Abby walked in the door at this time, to see her best friend and little sister like this. She smiled brightly to Tony who noticed her first. Renee pulled away awkwardly upon noticing Abby and looked at what Tony had brought.

"Abby didn't tell me how far along you are, but I remembered basic stuff from helping Beth."

"I...don't know what to say..." She couldn't really speak, she was so touched.

"She's ten weeks. And...thanks Tony." Abby injected herself into the conversation for the first time.

"Yeah...Sorry." Renee looked so sorry and sad, not even thanking him.\

"Not a big deal. Boy or girl?" Renee smiled again at the thought of her baby. She hated the father, but had no hatred towards the little life growing inside her.

"Too soon to tell. I'll know in a few weeks. Also Director Vance is going to let me work at NCIS as Abby's assistant so I'm not alone and so I have income." Tony smiled. That would be good for them both.

He had a feeling that this girl would weave herself into his heart much like her older sister did.
