Special Delivery

[tony_dinozzo]

Tony was typing up his letter for maternity leave, sitting at his desk. He was due within the next two to three weeks and Ducky had decided it would be best for him to go ahead to start his leave now in case anything came up. So, while Jethro and the team were out investigating leads on a new case, Tony was caught at his desk. He had just finished the letter and was printing it out when a jolting pain tore through his abdomen and back. It took him a few moments to catch his breath before he picked up the phone and dialed down to the morgue.

"Jimmy... get Ducky... I think this baby is gonna be early..."

Two minutes later, Ducky was entering the bullpen when another pain tore through Tony, leaving him gasping for air. Ducky walked over with Jimmy and the two of them slowly helped him to his feet.

"I've already called Jethro, Anthony, and he will be meeting us at the hospital. Dr. Pitt will be there as well to keep an eye on your pulmonary function as we get ready to deliver this little one of yours..."

Half an hour later they were at the hospital, Tony in a private room hooked up to a couple of machines and iv's, waiting for Jethro to get there.

The case was almost coming to a conclusion when he'd gotten the call. McGee had to take over, along with someone else that he called in. With that taken care of he heads straight to the hospital, taking care of whoever was in his way. Doing what he needed to; to get there.

He lets them know who he is before heading up to the private room, heading straight over to his boy taking his hand and giving it a firm squeeze.

"Hello my precious boy."

Tony looked up at him, squeezing Jethro's hand tightly as a contraction seemed to hit him just then.

"Oh thank god you're finally here," he whimpered softly. "I was afraid you wouldn't get here before they started cutting me open..."

Ducky walked in and heard those words and shook his head slowly.

"Calm down, Anthony. I would not have allowed them to start on you until Jethro arrived. And now that he has, we can see about getting you into the operating room and bringing this new little one into the world.." Tony looked up at at Jethro, worry evident in his green eyes.

"It'll be all right, won't it?" he asked, needing to hear it from the older man.

"You know good and well I would've gotten here way before that, DiNozzo."

Leaning down he kisses him softly, those blue eyes staring right into those green.

"You listen to me and listen good, my precious boy, everything is going to be alright. It'll be perfect even."

Tony nodded, still looking a little scared but at least feeling better since he knew Jethro was there and that Ducky, at least, was going to be the one delivering their child.

"Thank you, Jethro," he managed just as another strong contraction hit him.

"No need to thank me, my boy." He says leaning down and kissing him softly. "Do you have names picked out?"

[lovesitalfood.livejournal.com]

Tony nodded and smiled.

"Caitlin Abigail for a girl and Jackson Donald for a boy... if those work for you, boss...."

[married4times.livejournal.com]

"Those work for me," he says kissing him again. "I'm sure Ducky would be proud to have a kid having some of his name within the child's own."

Gibbs can't help but give a slight smile. He's pretty damn sure that by the time those days are up, they'll all be ready to go home.

Tony keeps watching the little ones in his arms, unable to believe they are finally there... and that there's two of them at that.

"Oh gods... Jethro... we need another crib and a second changing table and... well, we need two of everything now!"

[married4times.livejournal.com]

That gets a slight chuckle out of Jethro, "We don't need two of everything. We only need another crib and girl clothes." The toys they could deal with. However they didn't need a second changing table. The twins could share a room until they got older.

[lovesitalfood.livejournal.com]

"And a changing table, Jethro. What if they both have to be changed at the same time? And bottles... they have to have their own sets of bottles!"

[married4times.livejournal.com]

"DiNozzo, we only need the one changing table. It's big enough to fit both of them on it if need be," he says leaning down kissing him softly. "We can get them their own set of bottles though."

[lovesitalfood.livejournal.com]

"But... but what do we do if they both need to be changed at the same time, Jethro?" Nearby, Ducky laughed softly and Tony looked over at him. "What?"

"Anthony, baby's can be changed on any solid, clean surfaces, even the beds of their parents. Jethro is correct. You only need the one changing table. Everything will be just fine. And, for the first few weeks, you could probably do just fine with the one crib."

He hated when his boy got like that but it was okay as well. To an extent unless his boy got an attitude. "We'll just introduce them to Abby and then go home so you can rest."

[lovesitalfood.livejournal.com]

Tony nodded slowly and leaned against the door as they headed for the office...

[married4times.livejournal.com]

Reaching over he takes Tony's hand giving it a light squeeze. "I love you, my precious boy."

[lovesitalfood.livejournal.com]

"I love you too, Jethro," he said softly.

When they got to the office, Tony took Caitlin and Jackson into his arms and followed Jethro inside.

Jethro lets them bypass everyone there coming down to Abby's lab. Especially when he knew that's where she'd be and knew what she'd think about all of this. Knowing her hugging Tony would be the first thing to come.

Tony hears the pounding music before they even get off the elevator.

"Jethro... too loud for the babies..."

[married4times.livejournal.com]

"Okay you two, shoo." Abby says with a smile. Kissing each of the children on top of the head before kissing Gibbs' cheek and then Tony's she watches them. "You both look tired."

[lovesitalfood.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, just a little," Tony said with a smile. "Thanks, Abs. We'll see you later." He turns and heads for the elevator.

Gibbs chuckles and wraps an arm around Tony's waist leading him into the elevator and once back to the car garage to the car so he can get them home.

Once home, Tony takes the twins inside and gets them both changed and into their crib before he heads into his and Jethro's bedroom and drops down onto the bed, closing his eyes almost immediately but not quite falling asleep.

Gibbs moves into the twins' room and kisses their foreheads before moving back to his own. Looking down at his boy, he smiles a little. Moving over he takes off his boy's shoes before removing his own and slipping into bed beside him.

"Sleep, DiNozzo."

Tony nodded and shifted onto his side as gently as his could to keep from bothering his stitches, resting his head on Jethro's chest.

"Love you," he whispered softly.
