Special Delivery

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.

"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."

Ducky smiled at that as well.

"I would be very honored, Anthony. Now then, let's get going on this shall we? Jethro, if you'll go with this nurse here and she will help get you into the appropriate clothing and then you'll be joining us in the operating room. Anthony, when we get there, we'll be setting you up for what's called a spinal block so that you can remain awake while the little one is delivered, all right?"

"Yeah, Ducky, that sounds good," Tony said softly, reluctantly letting go of Jethro's hand.

"I know what to do, Duck." He's been through someone he loves having his kid before. So he doesn't need to be told to go anywhere. On top of that he'll go alone since he doesn't trust nurses. Not one damn bit.

Another kiss to Tony's lips before he heads out to get ready so he can be with his boy in the operating room.

In the operating room, Ducky supervises the other attendants who are helping to take care of and monitor Anthony through all of this. Finally, when Jethro rejoins them, Ducky has the nurse anesthesist begin administering the blocking agent that numbs Tony from the chest down. Tony shakes his head at the feeling, getting a little antsy.

"I... I can't feel anything from my chest down. Ducky? Ducky, is this normal? Is it supposed to be like this?"

"Easy, Anthony," Ducky assured him gently. "Yes, it is supposed to feel like that. Jethro, are you ready for this then? Yes? All right then, gentlemen, this shouldn't take long at all once we get through the muscle and tissue. The actual incisions and such will take about six minutes. Once you are opened, Anthony, it will take us about another five to ten minutes to retrieve your little one and then another ten to clean and close you up, all right?"

Tony nodded and gripped Jethro's hand tightly as the procedure began...

"Hey, listen to me and listen well DiNozzo you're going to be just fine. So is the little one that we're going to be having. To think a little Tony running around. World is doomed." He teases. "And doomed more if the kid is anything like me." He says leaning down and kissing his temple.

Tony nodded at Jethro's words and then took a deep breath when he realized Ducky and his team had already started...

...several minutes later Ducky had a shocked look on his face.

"Oh my..." he said softly. "I did not think... but well, of course... why not..." a moment later the wailing of a child filled the room and Tony let out a soft gasp as he heard it.

"My dear Anthony and Jethro, you have a beautiful little girl," Ducky said with a smile, handing her off to be cleaned up. A moment later, a second cry filled the room and Tony looked shocked.

"And you both have a beautiful baby boy as well..."

The moment Ducky popped off with his 'Oh my' his mind goes straight to something bad. That is until his friend brings out the wailing beautiful baby girl. He figured that was all there was to it until that second wail hit the room.

"Look at what you did, DiNozzo."

It's soft even as he kisses his boy.

"They're beautiful."

Tony has tears falling down the sides of his face as he hears the two distinct cries and it takes a moment to sink in.

"Oh... oh gods... one of each... Jethro... twins..." He's stunned but happy. Ducky works now to help get Tony cleaned out and sewn back up as gently but quickly as possible. Meanwhile, a nurse comes over, once child in each arm and shows them off to Tony and Gibbs. Tony wants to touch them but since both his arms are taped down to the boards on the table, he can only look for right now.

"They're... beautiful... and so small..." The nurse smiles.

"Six pounds, both of them," she tells them, handing them to Gibbs for a moment. "Just for a moment and then I need to take them down to the NICU for a check up and to get cleaned off and all and then I'll bring them to your room..."

"They're perfect."

He gives Tony a grin even as he looks down at Jackson and Caitlin. They'd be loved by everyone at NCIS. After a few moments he hands them back to the nurse so they could get checked out. He was sure his boy wanted out of this room.

"You did good my beautiful boy."

Tony smiled softly at that. "Go with 'em, Jethro, please? I just want to make sure they'll be okay..."

"Doctor," a nurse said quietly, drawing Ducky's attention to Tony's blood pressure. Ducky nodded quietly.

"Yes, Jethro, that would be a wonderful idea. We are going to just finish getting Tony cleaned up and such and then we will take ihm back to his room by which time you and the children should be able to join him."

"You better not be hiding anything from me."

He knew that look and knew that the nurse had said something to Ducky. There was just something about leaving the room. Something that he didn't want to do. However, he kisses Tony and heads off with their children. It didn't mean he liked the idea much. Not when he worried over Tony as much as he did.

With Jethro gone, Ducky moved to where Tony could see him.

"Anthony, your blood pressure is little too high for my liking so I am going to lightly sedate you until we get you completely cleaned and closed up and the nurse here is going to administer another dose of dilaudid for the pain you are going to be in once the spinal block is removed. All right?" Tony nodded slowly.

"Thanks, Ducky," he said softly as the nurse administered the light sedation and the pain meds and Tony closed his eyes...

Half an hour later, Tony was taken to his room where Jethro and the twins were likely already waiting for him, the twins in one bassinet for now.

"Jethro, Anthony's blood pressure got a little high so he's been lightly sedated and given some pain medicine to help with the pain he will slowly begin feeling now that the spinal block has been removed. I'll wake him up a little more here in a moment once he's settled into his own bed."

Jethro was sitting in the room with the babies when they finally brought Tony in. It had taken longer than it should have in his eyes. His boy being a man over being a woman didn't exactly help matters any. That didn't stop him from being a tad bit agitated though.

"You could've just told me right there, Duck. Not wait until you bring him up to me." Nothing got hid from him when it came to Tony. However at the mention of lightly sedating his boy, he tries not to snap at the good doctor. Especially when the older man knew how he felt about sedatives when it came to Tony.

"Yes, I realize that, Jethro, however Anthony wanted you to watch over the children and if I had told you that he was experiencing some trouble you would have wanted to stay with him and it would have only agitated him more." The nurses got Tony settled into his own bed and left with the gurney. Ducky moved around the bed, setting up the monitors and such before administering a drug that would wake Tony at least a little more. Tony's eyes opened and he rubbed at them a moment before looking over at Jethro and smiling.

"Hey," he said softly. "Can I hold my children now?"

Jethro realized that but he hadn't wanted to be away from his boy at that time. Not when Tony needed him and it wasn't like their children hadn't been taken care of. Nor was it like they wouldn't of been.

So he stays quiet giving a smile when he hears Tony's voice. It was a relief to hear. "Of course, my boy." Leaning over he takes the children and places one in each of his boy's arms.

Tony smiles softly as he looks down at his children, tears already in his eyes.

"Oh gods... they are so beautiful... and so small..."

"Wait until we get to take them home," he says with a smile. Those little ones would grow up to love their mother endlessly. That was something that the old Marine would make sure of.

Tony looked up and smiled before turning to Ducky. "When will that be? When can we take them home?"

"In two days, dear boy, so long as they, and you, are doing well enough to go home."
