That Friday Jenny's school had the election for class president and
Jenny won. She was so happy, and they took her out to dinner and the
whole team celebrated. Both men officially turned in their
resignations. They did not know that Tom just put them in his top
drawer. He had a feeling that one or both would be back in some way
or another. It wasn't like they both didn't have days to spare.
Gibbs could take off a whole year and a half and still have days to
spare and Tony could take a good six months off and have days to
spare.
The following week Jenny got done with school. The next day they all
piled into the car and did a lot of day trips again, much like
Spring break. They didn't notice that every time they went someplace
they were being tailed; they had no reason to suspect. Tony was a
little weirded out about something but he couldn't put his finger on
why.
Time was moving fast, but not fast enough for Jenny. She was so
looking forward to the Disney trip. She would sit with Gibbs hours
on end planning what to do and where to eat and activities. They
planned a hidden Mickey hunt everyday and they would keep score and
at the end of the day see who found the most. They could not tell
other people where they found them.
The first week of June the phone rang and Jenny picked up the house
phone.
"Gibbs-DiNozzo residence?Yes, sir, one moment please." Jenny put the
phone down and walked into the study where Tony was on the computer.
"Tony, someone is on the phone for you. They asked for Anthony."
"Thanks, Peanut." Tony patted her head and she followed him out.
Tony picked up the phone. "Tony DiNozzo here?Yes, nice to meet you
as well?No, please ?Shit...No, sorry?Yes, he is my father, but this
has nothing to do with him?Good, I'm glad to hear that?Yes, well we
are planning the first day to just hang at the hotel?Really, they
do? Is there anyway that we can have two reserved and maybe a
sailboat?Cool then, yes, please do?No, we need to cancel the limo my
partner-buddy arranged something for us?Good, thank you?Yes, I would
like to add a few requests to be delivered to our room everyday?Yes,
everyday I would like a cart of danishes, bagels with all the
different kinds of spread, an arrangement of cereals with milk as
well as a fresh pot of Blue Hawaiian made and brought into the room
no later then 6:00 AM every day?Good, yes, we might take that under
consideration."
Tony canceled what he was planning for a commitment question and
trading of rings and just formed a better plan. "Yes, sir I remember
reading something about babysitting services?Good, the first day we
would like four different choices and we will interview and our
daughter will pick the one she likes. This can be arranged??Yes,
sir, money really is not a problem." Tony had just said what this
man wanted to hear. "Yes, sir, we would also like a guide for each
park, maybe even two days in a row?Good. Also, is there a way to
make sure my daughter gets to ride up front in the monorail??Good,
I'm happy to hear that?Yes, I would also like the chief's table at
Victoria and Alberts?Yes, that is one of the nights we will need the
babysitter. I also read something about a private dinner yacht?Yes,
I would like that as well one night, the fifth night there?.Yes, we
would like that to be our first character breakfast?Good, I'm glad
to hear that?.No, just the three of us will be attending the trip?
Yes, myself and my husband and our daughter?Good. If I have any
other things I need I will call the hotel and ask for you?Good, and
thank you." Tony hung up the phone, looking at Jenny sitting on the
sofa looking at him with a long face.
"What's wrong, Peanut?"
"You want me to have a babysitter?"
"Hey, let's go shopping. I need to get a gift for Jethro, and I'll
explain why I'd like you to stay with someone, okay?"
"Okay."
"Let me go tell Gibbs where we're going."
Tony walked out of the room and down to the basement, walked up
behind him and put his arms around Gibbs' waist, leaning in and
taking a big whiff of the man's scent.
"Damn, that makes me horny."
"I know."
Gibbs turned around and kissed Tony, hard, his tongue asking for
entrance, and Tony let it happen. Gibbs hit all the right spots in
moments and Tony was purring. Gibbs knew how to get Tony going. Then
he just stopped cold and looked at Tony, who was lost in space for a
moment till he came back to Earth.
"You okay?"
"You are such a tease, you are so getting it tonight."
Gibbs just gave him a wicked smile.
"Yeah, Jenny and I are running out. I need to get a few more things
for the trip."
"Tony, you just got two sets of luggage and I am guessing every
towel and swimsuit for Jenny. What else could we need?"
"Well, I would like to get a new camera and maybe a portable DVD
player for Jenny if she wants to watch TV. Oh, and the concierge
just called, and I made a few plans. Like we will be getting a cart
of food for breakfast everyday delivered to the room."
"Why? I thought we were doing character breakfast. I have them all
planned for the day and everything."
"I know, baby, but what happens if Jenny gets up at say 6:00 AM
since she is so excited and she gets hungry? There will be no snack
food but fruit snacks. I don't know about you, but I don't want our
daughter eating that kind of junk before we go and play with
Mickey." Tony lit up when he said that part.
"Okay, good point."
"So you, Mr. Planner; I talked to the man about getting a tour
guide. I know you're planning everything, but you might miss little
things."
"Tony, it's okay. I was going to get Jenny a Mickey Pal. It's this
new thing they have that is like a tour guide so we can do both."
"Okay. Well, how about you call him and let him know what you have
planned. I just want you to know now I asked him to get us a
babysitter."
"No, not flying this time."
"Jethro, baby, why?"
"Tony, she can barely stay with Abby."
"Baby, I asked the man to give us like four people and Jenny will
make the choice. I want to take you out a few nights, and kids are
not allowed at this one place, and you can use the new tux you have,
and the other, well it is a surprise."
"NO."
"What if she goes for it? Will you let it happen then?" Tony got all
doe-eyed.
Gibbs tried not to look at him but they were noses away from each
other and it was impossible.
"Only, and only, if she is okay with it, and we get the person's
name and call Abby."
"I was thinking the same thing. Also, he said they have boats on the
lake, and I asked to get a few of the small speedboats for an hour
or so and then a sailboat for the rest of the afternoon for our
first day when we land."
Gibbs just kissed his lover.
"I am guessing you like that."
"Tony, you know I love to sail."
"I know, it's why I made them. Just do me a favor, okay, baby?"
"What?"
"Don't go snooping for what I have planned with the man. Yes, I am
taking you to Victoria and Alberts, but just?"
"Tony, I plan on a few things myself, so don't worry."
Gibbs was going to go out and get them rings and propose to Tony
sometime during the trip when the moment was right, but he wanted
Jenny there for it so he had to pick the perfect location. He was
thinking in the castle itself.
Tony walked back to Jenny, and they got into their Mercedes and
drove away. Still being tailed and the tail was good since Tony had
no clue that they were being followed.
"So, where are we going, Tony?"
"The mall, honey. Okay, I talked to Gibbs. He said as long as you
said it was okay that we can get a babysitter while on the trip."
"Why? You want adult time?"
Tony just smiled. "Well, kind of, honey, yes. But not for the reason
you think. See?hold on, honey." Tony pulled into the mall parking
lot and found a spot and turned the motor off. "See, Peanut, you
know I love Jethro."
"Yes, and he loves you, and you both love me."
"Right. Well, you've seen movies where two people who love each
other get married, well, we can't get married like other couples
since it is not legal."
"Why?"
"The same reason people don't understand two men loving each other,
they think it is wrong."
"They're stupid."
Tony just smiled. "Yes, honey. Well, I want to get Jethro a ring and
officially ask him to marry me and be my husband."
"But you already call him that."
"Yes, you're right, Peanut, but this way it is official in both our
eyes, so I plan on taking him to this very expensive place that
doesn't allow children. I know you're much older than most kids your
age, but they don't see that."
"Okay, I guess that's okay, but why the other time?"
"Well, I want an adult dinner with him, watching the fireworks in
the middle of the lake on the deck of a boat."
"Oh, I want to come."
"I know, Peanut, but we'll see on that one."
"Okay, Tony."
Tony took her into all the jewelry stores in the mall, trying to
find just the right ring. They got back to the first one and Tony
got a plain platinum band and had engraved on Gibbs' ring "my love."
Tony got two matching rings. He also got Jenny a lovely pendant and
a chain for it. They also went shopping and got a nice digital
camera as well as Jenny her own camera and a portable DVD player.
They got all the electronic stuff in the Best Buy that was in the
mall parking lot.
On the way home Tony thought he saw someone he knew in a car but
then dismissed it as a fluke.
"Okay, Peanut, we can't tell Gibbs about the rings or the plan,
okay?"
"Okay, Tony."
Jenny was just about as happy as Tony. When they got home, Jenny
showed Gibbs what she got; the pendant was a small heart that she
could put pictures in. She wanted one of her mom and then the two
men on the other side. Gibbs just smiled. Tony had a phone that they
could take the pictures with and send to Abby and she would make
them the right size.
Gibbs walked over to Jenny. "Hey, Sunshine, I want to talk to you.
Want to go for a ride?"
"Sure." Jenny walked out the front door and waited while Gibbs went
to talk to Tony.
"Honey."
"Yes." Tony was in the kitchen making hamburgers, one of the few
things he could make without the possibility of burning the place
down.
"I'm running to get milk and cream for your coffee."
"Okay. Stop and get hamburger rolls as well."
"Got it."
Gibbs kissed him and walked out the door. They took the Mercedes
that was now Gibbs' car since they'd turned in the NCIS car.
"Honey, while on vacation, will it be okay if we well get a sitter
for you?"
"Yes, Jethro. Tony asked me already."
"And you said??"
She smiled big; she knew the plan. "Yes. It should be fun. He said I
can watch DVDs and maybe the fireworks on the balcony."
"Yup. Well, I want to get Tony a ring."
"For what?" Jenny was confused since Tony had gotten them rings
already. Then she smiled.
"Well, I want to marry Tony, and in our eyes and our friends' eyes
we are, but when most people get married, they give each other
rings. So we are gong to a friend of mine who is a jeweler, and she
will help me pick out the right one."
"Cool." Jenny was smiling like the cat that caught the mouse.
"What are you smiling at?" Gibbs didn't notice the tail on them.
"Just happy that you both love each other."
"So am I. We both also love you."
"I know, and I love the both of you. Also, Jethro, well I thought
about it, and I would want to take your last name."
Gibbs swelled up with so much joy that she had said that. "I'm very
happy that you made that choice. Now, you're sure, right?"
"Yes. I love my mom, and I will always miss her, but I think she
wouldn't be mad about me taking yours and Tony's name. She loved
Tony and wanted me to live with him and now you, too."
"Okay, honey, but you still have time, the trial is a few weeks away
still."
"I'm fine, Jethro, thank you."
She hugged him once they came to the store they were going to. They
walked in, and the lady behind the counter came around and gave him
a hug and kiss on the cheek. She was so happy to see him find love
again. She kept going on, asking question about the new lady, then
Gibbs said MAN and she was still happy for him. She showed him the
ring that she thought would be great. It was three rings linked
together, all a different metal. One was yellow gold, one was
platinum and the other was rose gold. They all were slightly
textured, much like the edge of a quarter. He loved it and paid for
the two, and they left.
"Sunshine, you have to keep this our little secret."
They stopped and picked up the stuff they'd told Tony they were
getting.
Later that night, once Jenny was in bed, the men, both wanting to
express the love they felt for the other and the commitment they
were planning secretly, began to undress each other as soon as they
entered their bedroom. Kisses and caresses were given and accepted,
both giving as good as they got.
Gibbs lay on the bed, Tony over him, kissing as if they had all the
time in the world. What followed was a slow exploration by Tony that
had Gibbs melting in pleasure. He was so hard he physically ached,
but he didn't want to rush. He wanted this, wanted Tony taking him
on a journey to paradise and back.
"Tony."
"Yes, baby?" Tony questioned, kissing his way up Gibbs' arm to the
area where shoulder met neck.
"Make love to me, Tony. I want to feel you in me."
"Whatever you want, Jethro. You know I can't deny you."
Tony carefully prepared Gibbs, stretching him fully before
attempting to enter him. He wanted to make sure there was as little
pain as possible. At the point of full penetration he leaned down
and kissed Gibbs, telling him with words and actions both how much
he was loved.
Tony made love to him slowly, holding back as long as possible. Both
men were dripping with sweat, bodies slippery against the other,
hair on heads and bodies both plastered to them. Making sure to
stimulate Gibbs' prostate, he was able to bring him to two orgasms
before he allowed himself to go over that edge.
Afterwards they lay together, happy, sated and exhausted, but
neither wanted to sleep. Instead they cuddled together and continued
to kiss and stroke the other's body, mouths returning time and again
to claim each other in soul-stealing kisses.
They made love for a few hours. Not just penetration and orgasm. The
kissing and cuddling was lovemaking in itself, an expression of the
deep love they felt for the other. It was something neither would
trade for anything in the world.
Once they had slowed the kisses and caresses enough to just talk,
Tony explained to Gibbs about the phone call he had received from
Disney. His father, it seemed, was a VIP for Disney, and that is why
he'd never gone back after his frat days. He told Gibbs they'd known
who he was and they would go out of their way to make it just
perfect for them. They would keep it quiet, and his father would
never know.
Gibbs just kissed him and then made love to him again, this time
with Tony bottoming. Most of the time Gibbs would bottom. It was a
control issue. He was the strong protector outside the bedroom, but
in the bedroom and in the house Tony ruled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day of the trial Jenny was being a little pain. She just wasn't
in the mood to hear the judge say what she knew she would say. She
wasn't seeing it as a good thing. Everyone tried to make her see the
bright side of the coin, but she was too scared inside to believe
them.
They got to the courthouse and the courtroom. Miss Parks was there
already. Abby, Ziva, Tim, Ducky and even Tom and Jimmy were there as
well. Jenny was dressed in a nice little red summer dress since it
was warm that day. They sat in the courthouse for over an hour
before they were called up. Tony, Gibbs and Jenny, with their
lawyers, came forward and sat in their chairs as did the man and his
lawyer.
The judge started her speech.
"I would like to say thank you to all parties for their presence
here today, as well as the time spent caring for the well-being of
the little girl, Jennifer Lisa Bliss. The reason we are gathered
here today is to determine who this young lady will live with. On
the one hand we have two fine gentlemen, government employees who Ms
Monica Bliss wanted to raise her child. On the other hand we have
Mark Manning, the biological father of the child, a child he says he
was unaware of until the obituary of Ms Bliss was brought to his
attention. Let me start by saying it was very nice to get to know
both of you.
"First let me say, parenthood is not a job for the weak. It is for
the strong to be able to watch one child grow up and help that child
grow and nurture them and help them learn and grow to be a good
person. That is what makes a good parent, the ability to love the
child and help them become an adult and to know when to let go.
While worldly goods and monetary needs are important, they aren't
the most important aspect of raising a child. Love and understanding
is what counts most of all.
"I have done much thinking about this case, and I have listened to
many different people give character witness on both perspective
parents. I have also read the Child Services reports and
recommendations. I have also taken in to consideration what the
mother of the child in question wished, as well as listening to the
little girl herself. From all that I have seen, both parties might
make great parents, but one of you will make better parents I
believe, and I have made my decision in this matter."
Picking up her gavel, the judge said, "In the matter of custody of
one Jennifer Lisa Bliss, I rule in favor of-"
