"Gibbs," Jethro growled into the phone.
"Jet, it's Abby."
"Sorry Abs...What time is it?"
"It's seven-thirty. I was calling to see if you wanted me to bring anything for breakfast to the meeting."
"No Abs. No we're fine. Did you say seven-thirty?" Jethro rolled over and looked at the clock. They had slept almost eleven hours.
"Yeah, is everything okay?"
"Yeah Abs, its fine just over slept for the first time-"
"In the history of man." Abby finished.
"No but in a long while. We'll met you at the house in a few." Jethro hung up in a very Gibbs fashion.
He looked down at Tony. He smiled when he noticed how the sheet draped across Tony's slightly swollen stomach. He should be terrified. His male lover, his male vampire lover was pregnant with their child. But the thought was starting to fill cracks and holes that had been in his heart for years. He loved Shannon and would have spent his life with her, but Kelly, she was his treasure, his light.
Jet knew he had to get Tony up so they could get ready for the morning, but he kept a few minutes more for himself. He sat and watched Tony's stomach rise and fall as he breathed and watched as it moved a little to the side. He raised an eyebrow and pulled the sheet down.
No it hadn't been a trick on his eyes, Tony's stomach was being pushed to the right. Not much, just enough to notice, if you were looking.
Sighing and shaking his head Jet reached out and touched the spot that had moved and was rewarded with a soft push back. "Hey kido be nice to your dad when you're bigger, please. He won't be up to you beating him up to much. And I'm sure I'm going to meet you soon, but maybe you could hold off for a while 'till we get use to the idea of you and get things worked out for you. Please?"
The moving stopped, Jethro gave in and woke Tony. Kissing him awake, Jet smiled when a hand was pushed past his hip and wrapped around his cock.
"I need you. God I need to feel you. Please Jet? Please..." Tony's pleas drove Jet, and he quickly buried his hard cock in Tony's ass.
"Yes, oh fuck yes." Tony moaned and met Jet thrust for thrust.
Jet was sure they wouldn't last a the current pace but he was fine with that they had some place to be soon.
"Do it again...please please do it again."
"What Tony, do what again?"
"Bi...bite me. Bite e again please... god please it felt so good."
Jet stilled for a half a second before fulfilling the request, gently at first, but the strangled groan of frustration had him sinking his teeth in deeper.
At the point just before Tony's skin gave, Jet felt Tony stiffen, his cock jerk, and the warmth of his come spread between them. The tightness of his ass made Jet come an instant later.
Once Jethro could think again he asked, "Thought I wasn't supposed to do that again?"
Tony buried his face into Jet's shoulder...he didn't know why, but he knew he wouldn't come unless he felt Jethro's blunt teeth on his neck. How could he explain what he wasn't even close to understanding.
"I uh um revoke that request?"
"Uh huh and later you will explain why, but for now we need to get dressed and over to the house."
The pair were ready in a practice of rushed ease. They were out one door and walking in the second with coffee in hand in under forty minutes from Abby's call.
They had just sat down on someone's couch when Vance walked in.
"So what do I owe the pleasure. Or is there pleasure?"
With the barest of glances Gibbs had the answer he needed, he spoke for Tony as he stood towards Vance "You asked me how I knew about hemopages?"
Vance waited, since Gibbs walked into his office he had narrowed down the choices to Tony or Ziva. If it had been Gibbs, the man wouldn't have said he needed to ask. If it had been someone outside the agency, he would have just left it at someone he knew. Though really none of them fit, Ducky was out just on his age alone, Tony more or less for the same reason, Palmer on his diabetes, McGee for his allergies and seasickness. Ziva was the likely candidate but something said to leave Tony on the table.
"I have a hemopage lover. My lover is not like most hemophages, a lot of diffrences that the enclave what to try and understand."
Ziva, Vance confirmed in his head, for all of a split second.
"It'sTony."
Vance's head whipped over to Tony and watched the man's face go from dead pale to beet red. "I had mostly discounted you DiNozzo." Tony nodded but waited. "The only reason you were on the list was because you called. From what I know about hemophages I was leaning towards Ziva."
"No director."
"How?"
Tony smiled, "We don't know. I'm not the same as the others, as Olivia." It was Vance's turn to wait. "I didn't change until a year ago, hence my age. I can control my teeth," Tony said speaking around said fangs, "and I am able to sleep with both sexes," all trace of fang gone. "And well a few other things that maybe minor."
Vance waited there was a shoe still to drop.
"The hemophage scientist are looking into my differences to try and explain some of their own issues, why it forces some of them to switch orientations, why they can only drink at um orgasm." Tony stumbled here but pushed on. "I can drink before but I've found that it's like taking a sip of water after not eating all day."
"So what is the major change?" Vance tried not to put an interrogation tone into his voice but he wanted answers now.
"There are a few things I need to tell you first director. First this house is going to become home to the entire team, including Ducky, Abby and Jimmy. They have been my ..." now Tony trailed off.
"We all take care of Tony Leon". Jethro finished, "Ducky makes sure we all stay healthy."
Leon sat back on the couch and nodded once he knew hemophaged generally had a harem for lack of a better word...leave it to Dinozzo's to be all at yard.
"One of the minor changes is we don't actually have to have sex to feed Tony, Jimmy said from the doorway.
"Jimmy we decided we weren't going to say anything."
"Its fine Tony, better all at once."
"Are you telling me, Mr. Palmer you are still engaging in sexual activities in and around the navy yard?"
"Yes director I am Tony's lunch because of my previous activates I know where to go." Jimmy answered with a red face and a shrug.
"Olivia rarely needs to feed during the day," Leon said as more question than statement.
"I have never drank very much, we are finding that I may have been well, starving myself this whole time. To small of amounts more often. I used the enclaves staff," Tony said with raised eyebrows, "and I feel better than I have since the well actually since ever."
"Are we to the final shoe by chance," Leon knew they had to be close Tony's masks were falling place his posture had lessened so that he was all but lounging in his chair, his hands on the arms appeared relaxed until you looked at his thumbs and saw the force of pushing them into the chair arm was lifting up Tony's forearms, his shoulders kept flinching as he raised and dropped them.
Vance was glad he wasn't undercover op now or he would have blown the mission and got himself hurt or worse.
"Yes the other shoe...I am so different from any other hemophage because I apparently still have children.
Vance looked at Abby and Ziva who had appeared at the edge of another doorway.
Abby walked over to Tony and curled around him in his chair and started rubbing his arm Vance watched it relax and Tony's mask fell away.
Tony took a deep breath and tried to speak but his voice failed him.
Vance watched as the group gathered around Tony. Gibbs laid a hand on Tony's shoulder, it dropped instantly. Gibbs looked at Vance and answered the question hanging in the air, "Tony is pregnant. The change changed more than any other hemophage has ever changed before. Before you ask it, I'm the father. It's been confirmed five times."
"Six actually I ran it twice." Abby said he head still on Tony's chest.
Vance nodded once. "What is the timeline?"
"I don't know Director. It happened about two months ago but I'm pretty sure that I can feel the baby move." Tony said his voice almost emotionless.
"You can." Jethro spoke again. "I watched them push on your side this morning."
"Jethro are you sure?" Ducky said astonished.
"Yeah Ducky watched for a couple minutes. Even put my hand on his side and felt it. It was tiny and only a small movement but yes I know what I felt."
"I think we may need to messure the baby's grown daily as apposed to weekly like we first considered."
"What do you need Dr. Mallard?" Leon asked.
"For starters an ultrasound machine. The rest we should have on hand."
Leon raised a questioning eyebrow, "You don't have and ultrasound?"
"Oh no we have other equipment that work much better for what we need, but they are not safe for the baby." Ducky explained.
Leon nodded once and wrote the requisition in his head along with the appropriate reasoning. "You will have it by morning. Will that be soon enough?"
"Oh yes Director. We can go to the enclave and use Dr. Dean's to verify the change from yesterday to today."
"How much change could there be?"
"Honestly I am not sure. This is such uncharted territory that I dare say there is not even paper on which to write it on yet."
Leon smiled and shook his head at the good doctors description.
Tony shifted and stilled, Leon's gaze turned to the man's face and watched a flurry of emotions flit across it. Abby sat up and squealed, "I felt the baby. It was like a butterfly but I felt it." She slipped off Tony's lap on to the floor, "Oh God I was squishing her."
"Abby we don't know what the baby is yet." Jethro said.
"I know, but I can have me preference."
Jethro shook his head. "Should we call Dr. Dean and see if he and his ultrasound are free?"
"I will call and explain." Ducky said stepping outside.
"Anything else I need to know?" Leon asked.
Jethro tightened his grip on Tony's shoulder enough for the man to look up at him. Jethro glanced at his left and and then down to Tony's. Tony sighed and nodded once. He pulled Abby back into his lap and covered her mouth. "Just preemptive Abs."
"Whymigonnacream?"
"You are going to scream Abby because I asked Tony to marry me last night and he accepted." Jethro answered.
And there was the scream and two shouts of congratulations from Jimmy and Tim.
Ducky raced back in at the shouts, "What is it, what's happened?"
Leon answered for everyone, "There is a wedding to plan before a baby comes."
"Well one to plan I have a feeling rugrat is going to have their own timeline."
"Dr. Mallard…Dr. Mallard is everything okay? Is everyone alright?" came a tinny voice through Ducky's phone.
"Oh heavens, Dr. Dean, yes everything is alright. Jethro proposed to Tony last night. We will see you in two hours."
The conversation between the two doctors carried on for a few more minutes but no one listened.
"So is that all now?" Leon asked Jethro.
"I think so sir. For now anyways. I'm not sure how long Tony will be able to work at the Yard before questions would have to be answered that can't be answered."
"We will go one day at a time. I think he may have to go on a long undercover mission out of the area soon. Perhaps your whole team might."
"I don't want to shift our work to the other teams. That doesn't seem fair. The team wouldn't be off rotation if Ziva was pregnant."
"True but if Ziva was pregnant it wouldn't be a matter of world ending proportions."
Jethro opened his mouth to rebuttal but let it out. Yes if the world found out that Tony, a male born a male, raised male and never had any sort of gender reassignment was pregnant it would very well end the world.
Leon continued, "Besides I doubt much that Tony won't need all of you considerably over the next few months, however long it takes for the baby to arrive."
