A Father's Amends

"Junior, I know I wasn't there much for you when you were younger, but..." Anthony DiNozzo Sr rubbed his hands together nervously. He finally realized that family was most important and hoped to God that he wasn't too late.

"Just stop it! Weren't there much...you were never there! And when you were, you were always drunk!" Tony's voice raised causing his coworkers to look over. "So, excuse me if I'm not buying what you're selling dad!" He sneered the word dad and senior stumbled back like he was hit.

More eyes were on them, Tony didn't want to cause a scene with his dad. This was exactly why he didn't want to visit for Christmas.

"J-junior." Senior's voice lowered so only Tony could hear his next words. "I'm trying to change. I'm even seeing this shrink. All I can say is, I'm so sorry. I was a horrible father, I know that now. What I did to you..." Senior shook his head. He raised his voice higher.

"I'm sorry Junior. I know I don't have the right but, please think on visiting for Christmas. I-I love you son." Senior put a small wrapped present on Tony's desk and walked away.
