The day of the BBQ came and Tony was excited to introduce Kami to Jimmy's daughter Tori. They were about the same age and he hoped they would hit it off. Kami could really use a friend. Kami was quiet the ride over to the Palmer's, something that worried Tony. His baby girl was always talkative. He wondered if it was because she was missing her momma. As they pulled into the Palmer's driveway, Jimmy came out to greet them.
"Well hello Miss Kami!" Jimmy smiled.
"Hi Unca Jimmy." Kami shyly smiled back.
"There is someone I would like for you to meet. Kami, this is Tori." Jimmy grinned introducing the two girls.
The moment the girls laid eyes on each other it was an instant bond and friendship.
"Hi Kami, you want to go play?" Tori asked taking Kami's hand.
"Yay!" Kami squealed and went out with her new best friend.
"Well that went better than expected!" Tony sighed with relief.
"Come on around back, I think I have a beer with your name on it." Jimmy patted Tony on the back.
As everyone was getting their plates and finding their seats Kami watched her daddy very close. She watched his interaction with Ziva and with Abby. Abby insisted in helping Kami fix her plate. As the team sat down everyone was busy eating when Kami finally decided to pop the question.
"Daddy, is ms. Abby going to be my new mommy?" Kami asked innocently.
Tony about choked on the bite of chicken he had just taken. Where would his young daughter get an ideal like that? Abby moved closer to Kami and got down on her level.
"Kami, sweetie, I love you very much. Your daddy and I are like brother and sister which makes me your aunt. One day your daddy will meet the right person and can be your new mommy." Abby smiled.
Kami nodded in agreement.
"Ok…what about her? Can she be my new mommy?" Kami's little finger pointed at Ziva.
There wasn't any almost choking this time around. Tony knew better than to take a drink while his daughter and Abby were talking, causing him to cough and sputter.
"Tony if you choke and end up needing cpr, I am not bringing you back to life. I love you but I ain't kissing you while doing cpr." Jimmy laughed.
"Ah come on Palmer, that's what brought me back after I drowned was DiNozzo kissing me." Gibbs laughed.
"It's only because you had really soft lips boss." Tony laughed after he got his breath.
Kami looked on confused. Why couldn't Ziva be her new mommy?
"Kami dear, when the time is right, your daddy will get you a new mom. I promise." Ziva smiled at the young girl.
Kami didn't ask anymore questions she just went back to eating and playing with Tori.
"So McDad when is the baby due?" Tony grinned.
"Not soon enough." Delilah laughed as she rubbed her baby bump.
"The doctor said she could deliver literally at any time." McGee smiled as he placed his hand on Delilah's bump.
"Well I think fatherhood is a very beautiful thing." Jimmy grinned.
"Not to mention it changes you. You realize that this tiny human needs you…it's the best feeling in the world." Tony smiled.
He looked over at Kami. He remembered the day his life changed forever the moment he seen his baby girl placed on Kate's chest. It was the happiest moment of his life. Now he was all she had.
