Warnings: Tony/OC, fluffy

A/N I have decided that this is going to be a longer story dealing with Tony and Leah having a baby. Ideas for what you want seen or suggestions are welcome/appreciated :). And thank you everyone for your continued support by reviewing, favoriting or following my work.

Tony had been in the middle of an interrogation when he got the phone call from Leah's TA. She had been taken to the hospital when she complained of being dizzy. The TA had assured him that everything as okay… she was just dehydrated from morning sickness that day and they were giving her fluids. He knew that pizza, a milkshake, and ice cream at four o'clock in the morning was not a good idea. But he'd been told not to argue with a pregnant woman so he'd let Leah eat it all.

He'd flown out of that interrogation so fast that Gibbs had to chase after him. And even though the boss was angry at him at first for just leaving Tim alone… he understood when Tony explained that he needed to be with his wife. And Gibbs also realized that Tony wouldn't be able to do his job if he was worrying about Leah and the baby. He was more than just worrying though… he was terrified.

It was probably the fastest he had ever driven in his life to get to the ER. He considered it good practice for when the baby came and he had to get Leah to the hospital. When he got to the ER it didn't take him that long to find a nurse and point him in the right direction. He might have flashed his badge and told her that Leah was a vital piece of an investigation…but as he found her in a room, hooked up to an I.V getting the fluids, he didn't really care if that was a little unethical. "Leah?"

Leah looked up from the television and her lower lip trembled. Tears rolled down her cheeks. "I couldn't stop throwing up this morning!" she cried. "And… and… I almost fell at work when I got dizzy…"

Tony went to her and took her face in his hands. "It's okay, everything is fine. I'm sure this happens to pregnant women all the time." He wiped the tears from her cheeks and kissed her, softly. "And the baby's fine…. Right?"

"Yes… yes they did an ultrasound and… I heard the heartbeat," Leah said.

"Okay… see… everything is fine," Tony replied, hugging her. His heart rate was settling now that he knew both his wife and baby were fine, but it had been the worse feeling in the world just thinking about loosing them. How did Gibbs live with that kind of pain everyday? "Just… don't scare me like this ever again, Lee." I don't want to lose you or the baby. I can't lose you or the baby. It would break me.

Leah promised him that she wouldn't do this again and pulled away. "Did I… did I take you away from something important?"

Tony shook his head. "Don't worry about it. Gibbs handled it. And he knows that this is more important to me right now. You're more important."

"So I guess you didn't get to tell them about the baby yet, huh?" she asked, with a little smile.

"No. Don't worry. I'll get to it."

"Do you… do you have to go back to work today?"

Tony could see the silent plea for him to stay with her. He brushed her hair out of her face and shook his head. "No. I'm going to stay with you until you can go home and then I'm going to make you whatever you want for dinner while you put your feet up and rest for the next… I don't know… twenty to twenty-one weeks."

Leah let her smile get a little bigger. "Tony… I can't sit on the sofa for the rest of this pregnancy."

"Why not?"

"Tony…"

"Fine. But you're taking it easy for the rest of tonight and you're taking tomorrow off."

"Yes, Dad," Leah teased him.

Tony threw her a look which only made her laugh and he couldn't get mad at her because well, it was nice to see her starting to feel better. He reached out and put his hand on her stomach. Leaning forward he kissed her, softly. "I love you—both of you."

Leah smiled at him and put her hand over his. "We love you too."

Eighteen weeks pregnant came and went. Thankfully, Leah didn't have any more episodes that required her to go to the hospital. Doctors gave her some more medication to help with the morning sickness and if she was having a hard time with it, Tony had convinced her to stay home. However, the scare they had suffered had made Tony even more nervous about informing the team. After things had settled, he'd tried dropping some hints here and there, but then they caught a difficult case and they were consumed by it.

By the time the case wrapped up Leah was now twenty weeks pregnant and Tony was standing in the bullpen with a leave form to ask for the time off to go with her to her ultrasound.

Gibbs could see the nervous anticipation in the SFA's eyes. "Something on your mind, DiNozzo?" he asked, softly. He noticed that both Tim and Ellie's heads popped up from their mounds of paper work to watch. He shot them both a look to send them back to work.

"I need Thursday afternoon off," Tony replied, placing the form down onto the desk. He watched as Gibbs signed the form with a flourish, not bothering to ask why. "It's a big appointment… we might be able to you know… find out the gender of the baby."

And just like that Tony had laid the biggest bombshell in the bullpen since he had returned from Israel without Ziva. Tim had been taking a sip of his coffee and nearly choked on it. "What?" he sputtered.

Ellie jumped up from her desk and hugged Tony tightly. She pulled back and playfully hit him on the arm. "Leah's pregnant! Why didn't you tell us sooner? This is so exciting!"

Tony shrugged and admitted that he didn't have a good reason. Tim finally was pulled from his stupor and got to his feet, grinning and shaking his partner's hand. "Yeah! Come on, Tony… we're happy for you! You should have told us sooner. Were you scared or something?"

"Just didn't know when or how I guess."

Gibbs smirked and shook his head. "It was about time you told them, DiNozzo. Or I might have done it."

Tony smiled at the team leader. "Thanks, boss."

"So? When is she due?" Ellie asked. "We need to know so we can throw a baby shower! Abby is going to be all over that!"

Oh God… Leah… I'm not sure what I just got you into, Tony thought as he told them it was sometime in September. Tim and Ellie spent the next fifteen minutes bombarding him with questions and he did his best to answer. He wouldn't deny the relief he felt now that his partners knew and that they were happy for him. The baby hadn't even been born yet and it was already a part of the family.
