A few days later, Charity was at her house, cleaning it up. Her dad would be coming home for a weekend leave. She was going to tell him about the engagement and the baby. She figured that telling him about the engagement would be a lot easier than telling him about the baby.
Once she had the house cleaned up, Charity started pacing, waiting for her father to get there. She was also going over the different ways she could tell her father the news. "Why are you pacing baby girl?" came her father's voice from the doorway.
Charity's anxieties instantly washed away. They were replaced by the happiness of seeing her dad again. Charity ran over to him and threw her arms around him. She kissed his cheek. "I'm glad you're home, Daddy. Even if it is only for a couple of days."
Gibbs kissed the top of her head. "I'm sure you haven't been too lonely, though." He told her. "I'm sure you've been spending a lot of time with Tony."
"Yes." Charity confessed, pulling back.
Gibbs noticed the ring on Charity's finger. "I see that he finally proposed." He said, with a smile.
"Wait, you knew?" Charity inquired.
Gibbs nodded. "You remember the day you came home after having to work at that nudist coloney and he and I were sitting here eating pizza and watching a movie?"
"Unfortunately yes. That night is burned into my memory." Charity answered.
"He asked for my blessing that night."
"I should have known." Charity replied with a grin.
"Is that why you were pacing?" Gibbs asked. "You were trying to figure out how to tell me?"
"Not exactly." Charity answered.
Gibbs looked at his daughter, a puzzled expression on his face. "Baby girl, what's going on?"
"Let's have a seat." Charity answered, taking his hand and leading him to the couch.
"O-kay." Gibbs said.
Charity and her father sat down on the couch. "I have something else to tell you." She said, after a few moments.
"What is it?" Gibbs asked, his fatherly instincts kicking in and going wild. "Is everything okay? Are you getting sick or something?"
"No, everything is just fine." Charity replied. "Nothing is wrong."
"Are you sure?" Gibbs asked.
"I'm positive, Dad." Charity replied. "Let me just start this over again."
"Okay." Gibbs replied.
"Hi, glad you're home...Grandpa." Charity said, figuring that that was the best way to go.
Gibbs furrowed his brow. "Grandpa? You mean...?"
Charity nodded. "Yeah, I'm pregnant."
A huge grin spread across Gibbs' face and he pulled Charity in his arms for a hug. "Best news I've had since I found out you were alive." He told her.
Charity smiled. "So, you're excited?"
Gibbs pulled back and looked at his daughter. "Of course I am." He answered. "I've got a beautiful daughter to brag about on base and now I'm gonna have a grandbaby to brag about."
Charity grinned, but then it faultered slightly. "Daddy, I'm scared."
Gibbs nodded knowingly. "Becoming a parent is a very scarry thing." He agreed. "But it is also the most rewarding, wonderful thing that can happen in your life. Besides you're going to be a great mother."
Charity hugged her father. "I know I have Tony now, but I still need you, too. You always know just what to say to make me feel better, Daddy."
Gibbs just chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "I'm always here for you baby girl."
