yaay! back to daily update plan for the following week. Next week i'm starting my other stories again, so the updates will be once or twice a week maybe.
Currently writing two other stories also! Lost And Found (is sequel from Our Little Secret) and The voice Within. Two totally different stories but both Tiva! :D I have also an idea for another story that will have only Tiva-friendship in it. But it will mostly be around Tony (Gotta love him :3) and Gibbs. When i will start that story i don't know.
I'm babbling! okay anyways... Thanks for all the lovely reviews and the new followers. Have to say for so many followes, which i totally didn't see coming, i would like as much reviews as possible! :D
Enjoy your reading! (Longest A/N ever! o.O)
Tony's apartment, 9:03
''Hi, sweetie. How are you feeling?'' Tony asked as Hannah came into the kitchen with Ivy, where he and Ziva were just talking about how to handle today.
Hannah scratched her tummy and the back of her head at the same time she led out a yawn. She always did that. Every singer morning. ''I still feel a little weird, but I kept my vomit inside of my body'' She said.
''Good. I heard you didn't last night though'' Tony cleared as both girls sat at the table as well.
''Yeah... just threw up, nothing special'' Hannah told him.
''Are you gonna start again. You had a nightmare, Hannah. You scared the hell out of me!'' Ivy spoke up.
''Would you stop ratting me out?'' Hannah snapped annoyed.
''I thought that is what big sister do?'' Ivy asked honestly.
''They do'' Ziva said. ''And if you didn't tell him, I already had'' She placed two glasses of orange juice in front of them.
''And here I thought that I was starting to like you just as—'' Hannah began but was cut off.
''Gwendolyn!'' Tony hissed, in order for her not to end that statement. He rarely used her second name, but sometimes he just had to. To make clear he was serious.
Hannah spread a grin on her face and had a evil twinkle in her eye. Knowing exactly the way that Tony talked about Ziva all the time and that he had showed photo's of her. She almost ratted him out last night, with Gibbs in the room also, but that was different. Now she knew what she was saying.
Ziva and Ivy looked at each other in confusion and then back at Hannah and Tony, who were contesting in a stare-off game.
''Tony.. why didn't you let her finish, she was talking to me you know'' Ziva asked, pulling the DiNozzo's back to reality.
''Let's just say that I knew what she was going to say and that it was not meant for you to be heard'' Tony said. ''Or was it, Hannah Gwendolyn DiNozzo?'' He asked through clenched teeth.
Hannah had to try very hard not to let the smirk out. ''No'' She said simply.
With that Ziva let it fall for now. She knew that for Tony, this was going to be a hard day and she didn't want to push.
Tony let out a sigh. Hannah was obviously in her mood and that was not what Tony needed today. Hannah began to eat the pancakes that Ziva had placed just after the orange juice.
''So what are we going to do today, Papá?'' She asked innocently.
''Well.. you know how Ziva and I have to work, today to catch the bad guy that hurt Ivy's mom, right?'' Tony explained. He watched Ivy from the corner of his eyes, seeing the hurt expression on her face. ''You're not going to school, but you can't stay here either''
''You want me to go to daycare?'' Hannah asked a little startled. ''Dad I don't like it there! There are to much kids! You know I can't handle that''
''I know and you don't go there'' Tony told her.
''Then what? Does Lilly come?'' She asked.
''No''
''Is there another option?'' Hannah frowned and was confused.
''Well. Since my boss and Ziva know now, I thought that maybe you would like to see where daddy works'' He said.
''Are you kidding me!?'' Her eyes lit up. ''I love that! Can I see you work?''
''Maybe. Depends on what I am doing'' Tony chuckled at her enthusiasm, but he knew that not everything that they shared in the bullpen about the case was for nearly six year old ears. ''But you're gonna meet the rest of the team too. You remember that I told you about Abby and Tim and Ducky and Jimmy right?''
Hannah narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment. ''I recognize the names, but I can't remember it that much''
''That's okay. They are nice and I trust them'' Tony said
''You don't trust the maybe people'' Hannah reasoned.
''That's right'' Tony smiled ''So if I trust them...''
''...Then I should too. I know daddy'' Hannah nodded and finished her pancakes.

NCIS HQ, parking lot, 10:25 am
Hannah's eyes widened as, Tony parked his car. Ziva and Ivy had taken her car as to give Tony and Hannah give a moment alone.
''Is this building where you work?'' Hannah asked impressed.
''Yup.. so Hannah, listen to me...'' He trailed off.
….
NCIS HQ, bullpen are, 10:15 am
Ziva had come in a little earlier then Tony and Hannah did. She had Ivy on her lap and the bullpen was empty. She had met Gibbs a moment ago, but McGee was helping Abby with something down in Labby. Gibbs was getting the troops ready to be in the bullpen, when Tony and Hannah came out of the elevator.
''Why do other people not know about Hannah, Miss Ziva?'' Ivy asked.
Ziva could melt every time Ivy used her polite manners and called her Miss or others Mister.
''That's not my thing to tell. It's a long story that you will hear when the others ask the same question, Ivy''
Ivy nodded in agreement and laid her head against Ziva's chest. Ziva heard the *ding* and her head shot up as Gibbs and the rest came out of it.
''Ziva?'' McGee said surprised.
''Hello'' She greeted.
''Timmy told me that you and Tony were late! We were getting worried. Hey Ivy'' She smiled. The girl only nodded.
''Where is Tony?'' McGee asked, looking around.
''He will be here in about 10 minutes'' Ziva said, after she looked at her watch.
''Oh'' McGee said and went to sit behind his desk.
''Hello, my dear. Did you have a good night with Anthony?'' Ducky asked Ivy.
Ivy nodded. ''Mister Tony is very nice. I like him very much. We watched a movie and ate something i can't remember the name from, but it was Yummy!''
''Since when do little kids like Tony?'' Abby whispered to McGee. ''That never happened before''
''I don't know iether. All I know is what I saw yesterday morning. He was really good with her. Maybe he is maturing'' McGee shrugged.
Gibbs who was sitting behind his desk and observed the bullpen smirked as he listened to their conversation. He was pulled out of his attention when his phone began to ring. ''Yeah Gibbs''
''Yeah, DiNozzo'' Tony answered on the other side of the line.
''You sound nervous'' Gibbs stated.
''I know. But I'm coming up. Everyone is there right?'' Tony said.
''Yup. Except for Palmer. Apparently he's on vacation'' Gibbs cleared.
''Oh.. well then I guess she meets him another time... Stepping into the building. See you in a minute'' Tony said and shut off the conversation.
Ziva and Ivy looked up to him with a smile. They knew it was almost time.
''So bossman why did you need my up here. You know I can't leave my kids alone to long of they are up'' Abby asked.
''Your kids can do without you Abbs, for maybe an hour. Longer maybe'' Gibbs laughed as he avoided her question.
''So long?'' McGee asked surprised. ''What is so important. We have a criminal to catch''
Before anyone could answer that, the elevator made his *ding*.
As they all looked around to see Tony coming out of the elevator, all eyes were automatically set on the little girl that was attached to his hand and behind him.
He stopped on the bullpen and scanned all of the other faces. Ivy slit down off Ziva's lap and walked over to Tony and Hannah. Tony let go of Hannah hand. Ivy gave Hannah a hug.
''Aaaawwww'' Abby squealed. ''That's so cute. Ivy is that a friend of yours?''
''Sort of'' Ivy said softly. ''I'm staying with her''
''Huh?'' McGee was confused. ''I thought you stayed with Tony?''
''She does, probie'' Tony said.
''Okay...'' Abby was now just as confused at McGee was.
''I have to tell you guys something'' Tony said as he rolled his chair from behind his desk and set it on the middle of bullpen. Abby and McGee looked at each other for a moment. and Ducky waited patiently near Gibbs' desk.
''Sweetie'' Tony reached out his hand. ''Why don't you come sit with me?'' Hannah nodded and went over to her father. Tony picked her up and she settled comfortably on his lap. He looked at McGee and Abby, who had both curious and confused faces. ''I uh... really don't know how to tell this''
''Why don't I do this one? You already talked yesterday, didn't you?'' Hannah suggested.
Tony looked at her surprised. ''You want to tell our story?''
''Please can I? I never done it. But I would like too and you told it a milion times'' Hannah asked.
''Uhm.. sure'' Tony said.
''Okay...'' Hannah looked over to the weird girl with the ponytails and the slightly awkward man who sat behind her. Then she looked at the man with the scrubs on, and wondered if he was a doctor. She took a deep breath. And then a grin that matched Tony's famous one identically, crossed her face. ''Hi, my name is Hannah Gwendolyn DiNozzo. Proud daughter of my father, Anthony DiNozzo Jr.'' She said.
She saw McGee's and Abby's jaw drop and was almost sure they would hit the ground. Ducky was calm as ever and only smiled, but was also very surprised.
''D... daughter... of.. T.. Tony?'' Abby asked shocked with wide eyes. She looked at Tony who tried to hide behind the girl. ''What?''
''Tony's a father...'' McGee whispered under his breath.
''Well that is certainly a surprise, Anthony'' Ducky replied. He looked at Gibbs. ''I assume that you knew about this, Jethro?''
''Only found out yesterday, Duck'' Gibbs replied.
''Wait?'' Abby snapped back to reality. ''So what she says is true? She's Tony's daughter?''
''My daughter would never lie about that, Abby. I raised her too good'' Tony laughed. He was still nervous.
''I.. we don't understand'' McGee spoke. ''You have a daughter all her live?''
''Since she's 36 hours old, yes'' Tony nodded.
''I thought that I was going to tell the story, dad'' Hannah laughed.
''I think that am getting a headache'' McGee said defeated of his confusion.
''I want to know, and after that I'm going to slap your head off, mister'' Abby said pointing at Tony.
''Hey!'' Hannah snapped. ''I don't like that idea, I wanna keep my daddy!''
Abby looked at her surprised. She was not used to that her threats we taking so seriously. She looked at Tony, who had a smirk on his face. ''Sorry...'' She whispered.
''It's okay'' Hannah smiled innocently. ''I guess I'm starting with the beginning, huh?'' The rest nodded patiently. ''Well it all began when my daddy was engaged...'' She began to explain.
She told them the DiNozzo family story from start until she was born. Now that she was finished, she felt the arms of her father tighten around her.
''splendidamente parlato, il mio angelo' Tony whispered in her ear, in Italian. (Beautifully spoken, my angel)
Hannah smiled. ''Grazie papà e la vostra accoglienza'' (Tank you daddy and your welcome''
''Hey! No Italian DiNozzo'' Gibbs said, but couldn't quite hide the light smile in his face.
''Let them be, Jethro. That's their family language'' Ducky said. ''She's beautiful, Tony''
''Thank you'' Tony smiled at the older man. What a little scared him, was the fact that neither McGee nor Abby had said something after Hannah was finished. Especially Abby. ''Abbs—'' But before he could start asking for some kind of question, She ran off down the stairs. The other watched her go in surprise, but truthfully Tony knew something like this would happen.
''Is she okay?'' Hannah asked.
''Don't know. I'll go check her out'' Tony said and put her down. ''Be right back'' He began to run towards the stairs, next to the elevator. ''And don't tell any embarrassing stories about me!'' And with that he disappeared.
Hannah turned. ''That was Abby, right?''
''Why do you ask that?'' Ziva asked.
''Daddy tells me a lot of bedtime stories about NCIS, about catching bad guys'' She said enthusiastically. ''But I don't know how you all looked like''
''Yet you knew exactly who Ziva was'' ''But you knew exactly who I was'' Gibbs and Ziva thought at the same moment.
''Then you must be probie!'' Hannah turned to McGee. The others all burst out into laughter. McGee on the other hand, growled at the nickname. ''Did I say something wrong? He's Tim McGee right?''
''No you are right, Hannah'' Ziva laughed. ''That's probie alright''
Ivy chuckled too and looked at Gibbs. Her smile faded slowly as she saw he also looked at her. She knew that he was thinking about her mother and about the bad things that had happened. She slipped of Ziva's lap and walked to him.
Gibbs raised his eyebrows as she stood in front of him. Ducky, Ziva and McGee were too busy laughing with Hannah to notice the two of them. Ivy climbed on his lap and wrapped her little arm around his neck and squeezed her eyes shut. ''Please Mister Gibbs, don't hurt because of me'' She said.
''A little hard, munchkin. Seeing a girl hurting does make me hurt too'' Gibbs said and wrapped his arms around her small frame.
''Just catch whoever killed my mommy'' She said. Gibbs could hear her voice cracking. The first kind of emotion she showed to him.
''I will, I promise you, kid'' Gibbs promised.

NCIS HQ, Stairwell, 11:10 am
''Abby!'' Tony called out her name. ''Abby. wait a second, where are you going?''
She turned around and Tony stopped in front of her. He was out of breath from trying to catch up with her. ''Leave me alone, Tony'' She said coldly.
''Why are you upset?'' Tony asked. ''Are you really that upset with me, for not telling you?''
''I am upset with you for hiding it!'' Abby snapped. ''Do you know how good of an aunt I would be. You are like a brother to me and yet, I know so little about you''
''I'm sorry, okay! But Hannah didn't tell you why I didn't tell you guys'' Tony said stepping closer.
''And why is that?'' Abby crossed her arms.
''Telling you guys, is exposing her to NCIS. Exposing her NCIS, is exposing her to all the murderers that we are trying to catch or have found. Some of them want revenge and you know I have a lot of enemies. I was protecting her. Yes I hurt you and the others in the process, by hiding it. But it was one way or the other, I chose number one. She's my daughter!'' He explained.
''I know... I know...'' Abby calmed herself. ''It's just...'' She trailed off.
''It's just what, Abby?'' Tony pushed.
''I am more upset, by knowing that Wendy hurt my big brother so much'' Abby said and wrapped her arms around Tony.
Tony closed his eyes and took a deep sigh. He returned her bear hug and opened his eyes again. ''Abby. Listen to me. I was hurt. And yes I still have problems because of it, but I'm not hurting anymore. She may be the one who gave birth to her, but she's not her mother. Hannah said it herself. I don't want anything to do with her anymore. Hannah is my life and i don't want her to get hurt. But moving on his harder that i thought''
''And why's that?'' Abby asked, pulling away to look at him.
''I trying to find a mother for her, for almost six years now'' Tony chuckled.
''You will. You are not your father Tony. You don't get married seven times and still not find a good mother. You will find her the right mother and your soul mate'' Abby reassured him.
''Thank you. But I'm not hurting anymore, you hear me?''
''Still, when I see her, I will kill her and leave no evidence'' Abby told him.
''You might let Ziva help you. She said something about smacking her'' Tony laughed.
''Sorry about running off. I didn't want Hannah to see me upset''
''Hannah feels the same way, Abby'' Tony said. ''But can we go back upstairs? I don't like the idea of her and the team alone''
''Why?'' Abby asked confused.
''Because she has a mean streak for telling things I don't want you guys to know. Papa DiNozzo, things I mean'' Tony explained.
''Oh!'' Abby jumped up and down and her face lit up. ''I wanna hear all about Papa Tony!'' And with that she ran back upstairs.
Tony shook his head with a smile. ''Went better than I thought'' He thought and began he way back to the bullpen.
So yeah! we all knew that Abby was going to be upset with Tony didn't we. If you liked it.. Please tell me, because i wanna hear that :D
Next chapter tomorrow around the same time.. Max 2 hours earlier or 1 hour later! :D
