Tony shifted nervously in the passenger seat of Gibbs's truck. Today was the first time he would be at Head Quarters since the fire and his first time working since his appendix burst. It's like that one night changed his whole life forever. Today Emily had gone to work and the kids had gone to school. At least while he was on desk duty he could bring Jack with him. When he was well enough to start training with FLETC he would have to find a sitter or daycare center. Which terrified him. He remembered when Agent Andrews's eighteen month old son was killed by his babysitter. Who was bent on revenge for Andrews arresting his brother. Paul was never the same after that him and his wife were already having problems and that was it. She left him for another man and he completely broke. Gibbs tried to help him but he was too far gone. He disappeared off the face of the Earth one day and nobody wanted to find out what happened to him. Not like there was anybody asking for answers.

"You OK DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked.

"No" Tony replied.

"You feeling bad? Do I need to take you to the hospital?" Gibbs asked.

"No" Tony replied.

"Not ready to start back? I'm sure Leon would understand." Gibbs questioned.

"I'm ready to start back. I mean I can bring Jack with me. It's when I start with FLETC and can't bring him with me." Tony explained.

"Oh" Gibbs replied.

"I mean I know the odds of what happened to Trey Andrews happening to Jack is slim but I don't want to take the risk." Tony admitted.

"That's understandable. My dad is thinking of selling his share of the store to Matt the young man who works there on mornings and weekends. He says he can't really manage living alone anymore. I can bring him down and he can tend to his namesake while we're at work." Gibbs offered.

"Think he can handle it?" Tony asked.

"Oh yeah he may not be as fast as he once was and his eyesight pretty bad but I can tell you I wouldn't want him shooting at me. Especially if I was putting a child's life in danger." Gibbs explained.

"It's not that it's just well baby's are pretty high maintenance." Tony replied.

"He took care of me and I was at least ten times more difficult than Jack." Gibbs explained.

"That's not hard to believe." Tony smirked.

"Watch it!" Gibbs warned slapping Tony on the back of the head.

"Hey that's the first time you head slapped me since before the fire." Tony commented.

"You were in a drug induced coma while you waited for your lungs. So you don't know this but I head

slapped you and demanded that you not die at least five times a day until the transplant." Gibbs explained.

"Yeah Dr. Pitt told me that you did that when I had the plague." Tony replied

"Well it worked didn't it?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes it did. Thanks for never giving up on me." Tony replied.

"You don't give up on family." Gibbs explained.

Abby, McGee, Bishop, Ducky, and Director Vance all waited in the bullpen. They had planned a surprise welcome back party for Tony and Gibbs. Abby had got a huge cake while McGee had provided the punch and coffee and Bishop and Ducky had prepared the food half of the refreshments. Vance had even brought a bottle of his personal scotch and was allowing everybody to take a shot. The elevator door opened and Gibbs walked in first followed by Tony who was pushing baby Jack in his stroller.

"WELCOME BACK!" The group cried in unison.

"Why didn't you tell me there was a party for Tony?" Gibbs asked.

"Well it's for both of you." Abby commented.

"You shouldn't have." Tony replied.

"Anthony a few weeks ago we were sure we were going to lose you and Jethro so selflessly took time off and never left your side. You both deserve something special." Ducky explained.

"Plus well I figure this is a good way to make up for being such a jerk."McGee admitted.

"Probie! I forgive you!" Tony cried.

"OK well let's party!" Abby cried.

"I hate to be the mean boss but remember that you have to get back to work after this. Unless you don't feel up to it Agent DiNozzo" Vance said.

"No Vance it's fine I am fine." Tony assured.

"Well if you feel bad remember there is a couch in my office." Vance replied.

"I hate to be disrespectful to the dead but I do not want to sleep on that couch after what I saw Jackie and you doing on it at the last Christmas party she attended.

"DINOZZO!" Gibbs yelled slapping Tony hard on the back of the head.

"Well the good news is I wasn't as drunk as I thought that night." Vance sighed.

"Sorry uh changing the subject. Where's Palmer?" Tony asked.

"He did not feel up to coming. I left him in the care of Timothy's grandmother." Ducky explained.

"Is he doing any better?" Tony asked.

"Not really I'm afraid." Ducky sighed.

"Poor kid" Gibbs sighed.

Tony completed a successful first day back at work. He had to stop and close his eyes more times than he liked but Dr. Pitt had told him that he would be weak for a while. It also helped to remember that he really should be dead right now. After work he sat on the couch holding baby Jack in his arms. Gibbs was down in the basement and Emily and the kids were at Carly's softball game. So it was basically just him and Jack. He watched as his son rested his head on his chest. The baby had his little hand shoved in his mouth and was drooling on to his shirt. He would never forget how grateful he was to be able to be in his son's life. Too many events had nearly pulled that right away from him. Finally he decided that it was time to put Jack to bed. He stood and carried his boy up the stairs and into his nursery. After making sure that Jack was comfortable. He headed for the bathroom and hopped in the shower. Suddenly he heard the sound of breaking glass followed by Jack screaming. He tossed his boxers back on and ran down the hall. Gibbs was already upstairs with his gun. The window in Jack's room was smashed and a large rock lay on the floor with a note taped to it. Gibbs bent down and read the note. While Tony checked on his son. There were little shards of glass sticking out of his skin.

"Boss he's full of glass and bleeding." Tony said.

"Let's get him to the ER but you might want to read this first." Gibbs replied his face was drained of all color.

"What?" Tony asked trading Jack for the note.

"Trouble" Gibbs whispered.

"NO!" Tony shouted reading the note.

"Ray may be gone. Big mistake cause I am here now and I am mad. Ziva lied to me about not wanting kids. So that bastard is conceived in at least two sins. The only way to right this. Is for him to die. Be warned." Adam
