Tony's apartment, 9:00 pm

Tony looked at Ziva and Gibbs, knowing that he had a lot of explaining to do.. but again this wasn't the time. ''Ziva.. will you get a glass of water? Please?'' Tony almost sounded pleading and snapped her out of her shock.

She nodded and walked out.. ''Daddy... dad? Abba? A father... Tony is her father!'' She didn't know what to think about it. This was so confusing. But he asked her to do something and she had his back. She always had his back! But her mind was flying everywhere. What was she supposed to be? Angry? Sad? Happy for him having a daughter? Why didn't she know? Didn't he trust her?

Back Gibbs looked at Tony for a moment, who was still trying to calm his daughter!

''Ssshh! It's gonna be okay, Hannah you did nothing wrong okay?'' Tony reassured her. She nodded slightly. ''Daddy's gonna clean up okay? Just yell if you feel like throwing up again''

''Okay'' She said softly.

Ivy still wasn't sure what to do here. Tony looked at her and smiled as he saw the ''You're being a good big sister, Ivy'' Tony told her and he stood up. He went to get the stuff and clean up the mess, but stopped in the doorway and looked at Gibbs, with both, fear, confusion of what was happing and he felt sorry for dumping this on them this way.

''I.. uh... please stay with them, while I get the stuff to clean it up...'' Tony said, but it was a question. Gibbs didn't have to do it.

Gibbs nodded. ''What's her name again?'' He asked.

''Hannah'' Tony let out a small smile before heading for the bathroom.

''Okay, since it's your house.. I should say.. On it boss'' Gibbs joked.

''Thanks, boss'' Tony said and walked out to get the stuff.

Gibbs waited a moment before going further into the room. He walked over and sat down, just like Tony, between Ivy and Hannah.

Ivy was okay with it and smiled at him, but Hannah jumped as there was suddenly a strange man on her bed. She shoved a little away from Gibbs and stared at him.

''W.. who are you?'' Hannah asked. She took him his appearance and body language, with suspicious eyes.

''I'm uh... I'm your fathers... boss'' Gibbs said. ''God! That was weird to say'' He thought.

Hannah was quiet for a moment. ''Gibbs?''

''Yeah.. the one and only'' Gibbs said to her.

''I thought, you didn't know... that I uh.. was here..'' Hannah was confused.

''Trust me kid.. I didn't'' Gibbs tried to reassure her.

''Oh Gosh! Now you know, because I am sick and my daddy didn't want for you to find out. This is all my fault. He's gonna be so mad!'' She started crying again.

''Whoa whoa whoa! Hannah, if anyone is going to be mad at anyone, than it is me at your dad, not your dad at you. Otherwise I will slap it out of him'' Gibbs said and pulled the little girl to him.

Ziva came back to the bedroom and Gibbs looked up to her. She had the glass in her hand, but her face was a slight color of red and she was breathing heavy.

''What happened to you?'' Gibbs asked raising her eyebrows.

''I... uh... passed Tony on the way'' She said trying to hide anger.

…..

What happened in the kitchen

As Tony came out of the bed room and into the kitchen, he saw Ziva looking through the cabinets, trying to find the something to put water in. He walked over to the opposite cabinet of the one she opened and grabbed a glass himself. ''Here'' He said friendly.

Ziva on the other hand, shot daggers with her eyes at him. And ripped the glass out of his hand. ''Thank you'' she said sarcastically.

She filled the glass with water and wanted to walk away, but Tony grabbed her arm. ''Ziva, wait a minute. Calm down will you?''

''Calm down?'' She laughed. ''Tony, you. Have. A. Daughter'' She made clear he got the message.

''And she chose for 'angry'' He thought. ''Yeah. I know. This was not the way for you to find out'' He explained.

''Than, when were you gonna tell me... us?'' She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him.

''I'll explain everything when she's calm, just.. bring the water to her'' Tony said frustrated.

She rolled her eyes ''Fine'' Ziva said coldly and walked away.

Tony watched her walk away and rubbed his forehead. He let out a deep sigh and went back for searching the stuff he needed.

…...

Back in the bedroom

Ziva walked over to Hannah and knelt down in front of her. ''Here you go'' She said and smiled at her.

''Thank you'' Hannah said, grabbed the glass and took a sip. ''My tummy hurts'' she said and rubbed over her stomach.

Ziva went with her hand in her pocket and pulled out a aspirin. She opened the casing. She broke it in half and put one half back. ''This will make you feel better''

Hannah said nothing and took the aspirin too. She looked at Ziva. ''So is everyone of NCIS here?'' she asked.

''Why?'' Gibbs asked, surprised that she knew about that.

''Well you are here.. and Ziva's here, I thought that the rest was here too'' Hannah said.

''You don't know me.. but you know Ziva?'' Gibbs asked surprised and looked at Ziva, who was just as surprised.

''I never saw her before... not for real anyway'' Hannah explained.

''Huh? Then where did you see me'' Ziva raised her confused.

''I was not supposed to say that! Oh Gosh! I'm doing everything wrong today!'' Hannah fell backwards on the bed.

''No you don't!'' Ivy spoke up, for the first time Tony wasn't around. Hannah straightened herself and looked surprised. ''Mister Tony, picked you up from school, saw that you were not feeling well and was actually thinking about bringing me back to Gibbs, but you insisted that I stayed here. Said you wanted to help people, just like Mister Tony does. That's not doing anything wrong''

''She's right, Hannah'' Tony said leaning against the door frame with 2 buckets, paper towel roll and mops. He sat the stuff down and walked over to her, kneeling down next to Ziva. ''It's not you're fault that you are sick and you did a great job helping me with Ivy today. And that from a minute ago... we uh.. talk about that later'' He said and tapped her knee and looked at Ziva from the corner of his eyes. ''Now, are you feeling a little better?'' Hannah sniffled once and nodded. ''Good, I want you to go and sit in the living room for a while with Ziva, Gibbs and Ivy while I clean up, okay?''

She nodded again and leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Tony's neck. ''I love you, daddy''

Tony tightened his grip on her for a second and smiled. ''I love you too, sweetie'' He pulled away and gave her a kiss on her forehead. ''Now go, show Ziva and Gibbs the apartment, besides my bedroom'' He winked at her. She smiled.

''Follow me!'' She hopped off.

Everyone stood up and started walked out of the bedroom. Only Gibbs didn't move.''I'll help your dad with cleaning up here'' He told them.

The other's went out and Tony was already expecting something like this would come. ''Gibbs—'' He started but was cut off.

Before he could say anything he was pushed down on Hannah's bed and gave him a few massive headslaps. Tony flinched every time with the force. Eventually it stopped and Gibbs was looking at him with a death stare. ''You wanna explain to me, why a little girl starts crying at the fact she thinks that you're going to be mad at her, for telling me that you're her father, DiNozzo?'' He barked.

''I would never be mad at her. Not for that! She's really emotional, especially when she's not feeling well'' Tony explained. Gibbs stared at him and Tony sighed. ''I'll tell you and Ziva everything.. just like you told them help me with this, I could really use the help.. this day went different that I thought''

Gibbs nodded. ''But I want to know everything! No more secrets. You're gonna tell me everything you held behind and then I'm going to think about how many head slaps your deserve, understand that, DiNozzo?'' Gibbs told him.

''Yes! Okay'' Tony straightened himself and stood up. He walked over to the two buckets and threw the paper towel roll over to Gibbs. ''Thanks, boss''

…..

20 minutes later, 9:25 pm

Once done in the bedroom with almost no talking at all, Tony and Gibbs went to the living room. They found Ziva sitting in the middle of the couch, with a sleeping Hannah and Ivy on both sides.

''They were tired'' Ziva explained, as the two man stood in front of her, watching the nice picture.

Tony smiled. ''I can see that. Gibbs.. would you mind picking up Ivy and bring her to her bed, while I do the same with Hannah?''

Gibbs shook his head. No he wouldn't mind. Why would Tony think that?

A while later Gibbs and Tony both came back. Tony plopped down next to Ziva and Gibbs took Tony's former place on the big chair.

Tony let out a sigh and looked at his two co workers. ''Anything on the case, boss?'' He asked.

''You're gonna start changing the subject already, DiNozzo?'' Gibbs raised his eyebrows.

''No..'' Tony looked down. Almost ashamed of what had happened. He closed his eyes ''This was really not the way I pictured you to find out'' He said frustrated.

''From what Hannah told me. You weren't planning at all to tell any of us'' Gibbs said.

''I wasn't'' Tony admitted. ''Not until half a year ago'' It was silent for a moment and Tony looked up to Gibbs.

''How old is she DiNozzo?'' Gibbs asked, seeing that Tony didn't know where to start.

''She turns six, three days before Christmas'' Tony told her.

''So she is here all her life?'' Ziva spoke up, a little coldly.

''Yes'' Tony said and nodded.

''Why didn't you tell us, Tony? Didn't you trust us?'' Ziva asked, she narrowed her eyes.

''I do trust you. I.. I was trying to... protect her. I thought that if she wasn't involved with NCIS.. only know that I catch bad guys... that no one knew about her. She would be save. Only my dad and Lilly know about her'' He explained and saw the curious looks about the last name. ''Before you ask.. Lilly is her au pair. She's here for 2 night a week. No I never dated her and I never will'' Tony smiled.

''Why do you think that this way you would protect her'' Gibbs asked.

''I thought that if no one knew about her, that other 'bad guys' wouldn't think to get to me, while hurting her. She was already hurt when Kate died—'' Tony said but was cut off.

''Kate knew about her?'' Gibbs was surprised.

''Yes. Kate found out during a surprise visit.. just like you guys... Hannah grew attached to her and then she was... killed. Have you any idea how you have to tell a 3 year old kid to tell that her and daddy's friend, isn't coming anymore?'' Tony said frustrated. ''I was only protecting her. That is the truth''

Gibbs let out a sigh. ''It explains a lot''

''What?'' Tony was slightly confused. Ziva was too.

''She turns six, right? so... she goes to school from just after the summer. It explains why you were too late, so many times in the last six months'' Gibbs explained. Tony nodded in understanding.

''But.. where's the mother? Doesn't she help you with Hannah or is she...'' Ziva trailed off as she saw that Tony knew where she was going with it.

''No her mom is alive. Wendy.. is alive'' Tony sighed.

''Wendy... the ex-fiancée.. Wendy?'' Gibbs asked. Ziva was surprised. She didn't know that Tony was engaged before.

''Yes... apparently, she found out that she was pregnant, three days before she uh.. left me at the altar'' Tony said. Ziva's shocked face, turned sad. He saw it, but continued his story. ''She didn't have the guts to tell me. And we didn't speak or saw each other from there on. 7 months later I got a call from the hospital, saying that a family member of mine was there. I went over there, not knowing what to expect... especially not to find... Hannah. I got only a letter from Wendy saying she was sorry, but that she was... or isn't ready to be a mother, but knew that I was to be a father. She also left a letter for Hannah to read, when I thought she was ready'' He explained and pointed to the closed envelope above the fire place. ''Ever since than.. Hannah's with me. When she was only 36 hours old''

''That's awful!'' Ziva exclaimed. Gibbs and Tony looked at her surprised. ''I mean... that she did that. Not that Hannah's with you. But how can you abandon a child? A sweet tiny innocent child!''

''I know Ziva. That same question am I asking myself for six years. But Wendy made it clear she wants nothing to do with her. Told me to raise her with another mother. One that deserves my and Hannah's love'' Tony said. He looked at his hands.

''I want to smack her head'' Ziva told them.

Tony looked up and chuckled. Gibbs raised his eyebrows. ''I'm sure you do'' Tony said.

Silence fell over them and Tony let out another sigh.

''You're doing a good job, Tony'' Gibbs finally said.

''Uhm.. thank you.. boss'' Tony was a little confused.

''I mean it. I can see that Hannah loves you very much. She doesn't want to hurt you and you don't want her to get hurt. Yes so maybe.. it was a very stupid plan to not tell me, but you did it for the right reasons'' Gibbs explained.

''Thank you. That means a lot'' Tony said. ''Can I stay home tomorrow.. I mean she's still sick and Lilly can't come—'' He asked.

''No'' Gibbs said simply. Tony's hope fell. ''But you can come in later. Take her and Ivy with you. We need you to catch the 'Bad guys' ''

''I'm not sure if I'm ready for the rest to find out, Gibbs'' Tony admitted.

''To bad DiNozzo'' Gibbs barked. ''You can't do things like this any longer. It lasted long enough and we can see that's eating you up. We need you at your best. If the team knows about it, than we can help you and make arrangements for you''

Tony closed his eyes for a moment. ''How late do you want me in tomorrow?''

''I want you and Ziva in around 10:30 tomorrow morning. If Hannah's still sick, Ducky will check her out'' Gibbs explained.

''I already called th—'' Tony began to argue but then realized something. He looked at Ziva, who also was confused. ''Wait.. why does Ziva get to come in late too?'' .

''Oh.. I forgot to tell you? You said that.. your au pair... Lilly... can't come and help you, so Ziva is staying with you, until Ivy's going with her father'' Gibbs said hiding the smirk.

''Gibbs, I don't—'' Ziva began to argue.

''I recall the words that you said before we came: 'If he's struggling with something, I want to help him with it' and you see Ziva, Tony's really struggling, taking care of two kids. You wanted to help, so you're going to help'' Gibbs stated. ''End of discussion''

''Okay'' Tony said. ''Yes, boss'' Ziva said.

Gibbs stood up. ''Okay. Now I go home and I see you guys tomorrow at 10:30, not one second later''

''We won't be late'' Tony said and wanted to stand up.

''You stay DiNozzo. I can find the door myself'' Gibbs said and walked to the door. A few moments later Tony and Ziva heard the door open and close a couple of seconds after that, leaving them in the living room alone and a little awkward.
