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.

"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."
