The group sat down in the living room. "So, Dad, Bernie what are you guys up to?" Tony asked.
"Well, your grandmothers have called me and I've updated them about your life." Senior began. "And now they're both making travel plans to be here in just a couple of weeks."
"Both of them? Here? At the same time?" Tony inquired.
"Yes, Junior." Senior answered.
"Grammy 'Nozzo wants to meet you, Charity and be here for the birth of the next generation of the DiNozzo clan. AJ will be her first great grandchild." Bernie added.
"And Mildred also wants to meet you, Charity." Senior said. "She sees it as her job to approve of you since my late wife is no longer here to do it."
"So, two grandmothers are coming here to meet me?" Charity asked.
"Yes." Senior answered.
"That's not stressful at all." Charity said sarcastically.
Tony wrapped his arms around Charity and pulled her close. "Don't worry they'll love you."
"I'm sure before long Grammy 'Nozzo will be teaching you all of the secret family recipes." Bernie reassured her. "You're spunky and she likes that."
"Exactly, there's nothing to not love about you." Senior added.
"You two really need to come by more often." Charity replied with a grin.
"Hey don't encourage them." Tony teased.
Two weeks later...
Charity was up and walking around again. She still had a slight limp, but she could manage. She also had to return to work. After her drive to work, Charity parked her car and then headed inside. She rode the elevator up to the squadroom floor and then stepped off.
When she walked into the room, Charity was greeted by pastel blue and yellow streamers, balloons, and other decorations. There were also several brightly wrapped packages on her desk, there was a cake, and a small buffet in the room. Her team and several other agents, as well as the director were all there.
"What's going on?" Charity asked.
Abby stepped forward with a bright smile. "This is your baby shower."
Charity couldn't help but to smile. "I'm guessing that you're the mastermind behind all of this?" Charity asked her.
"Of course." Abby answered. "Okay, now let's get this party started!"
Everyone enjoyed the food, and Abby had them all playing games. Then it was time for Charity to open presents. There were several things of diapers, onsies, socks, and other clothing items. There was also a car seat, a high chair, and a stroller. When she finished opening presents, Charity looked around at everyone.
"I just want to thank all of you guys for putting all of this together and for all of these gifts." She said, then she felt her hormones getting to her and she was feeling a little sentimental. "It really means a lot to me, that you guys would do all of this for me."
"Is that a tear I see boss?" Burley teased.
Charity dabbed at her eyes. Stupid hormones. She thought. "No."
Everyone started cleaning up and then the team got called out on a case. Charity and her team arrived at the crime scene and began to do what they do best. They collected their evidence and then headed back to NCIS.
Ziva, Burley, and McGee began checking the victim's background and records. They gave Charity their findings and then continued to work on the case. Charity happened to look at the time, it was six in the evening. She needed to be leaving and heading home. She and Tony were supposed to meet his family for dinner, including his two grandmothers.
"I'm leaving. Burley, you're in charge. If you guys need me call." Charity told them and then left.
"I wonder what that's all about." Burley mused.
Then Abby stepped off the elevator. "Did Charity leave already?" She asked.
"Just did. You know where she was going?" Burley inquired.
"Yeah. Tony's grandmothers are flying in from England and Italy just to meet her." Abby answered.
"Talk about pressure." McGee said.
"Yeah. I almost feel sorry for her." Burley agreed.
A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. My computer hasn't been working. I have wonderful news though.

But enough about me, please read and review. I hope you are enjoying.
