Protecting Gibbs

Chapter 43

Saturday arrived and Charity spent the morning getting things ready. She placed several bottles in the fridge. Then she wrote down a few numbers down and stuck them on the fridge. Tony was holding AJ and patting his back trying to burp him.

There was a knock on the door. Gibbs answered the door. "Come on in." He said as he stepped aside to allow Abby and Ziva to enter the room.

The two women walked in. "Is Charity ready?" Ziva asked.

Gibbs laughed. "She's just finishing up getting things ready for Tony's day with AJ."

Tony and Charity walked in the room just then. Charity giving Tony a few last minute instructions. "When AJ gets hungry, make sure you warm up the bottle." She was telling Tony. "But test it on your arm before you give it to him to make sure it's not too hot."

Tony smiled at her. "Okay, I've got this."

"And the numbers for the poison control center, the pediatrican, and..." Charity began.

"And the United States Military are all on the fridge. I got it." Tony said with a cocky grin.

Charity glared at him. "I did not go that far."

Tony laughed. "I know."

"And remember to..."

"To rub him down with lotion every two hours. I've got it." Tony said. "You can trust me. I won't let anything happen to our son. I have everything under control."

Charity let out a sigh. "I know. I'm just being a mother here. I worry."

"I know, but I promise you no harm will come to our son. He is perfectly fine with me." Tony reassured her.

"Are you ready to go, Charity?" ZIva inquired.

"I will be as soon as I say good-bye to my little man." Charity said. Then she kisses the baby in Tony's arms. She kissed him several times. "Mommy loves you. I'll be back in a few hours. You be good a good boy for Daddy. I love you." She then turned around and started heading for the door.

"Hey, no love for Daddy?" Tony asked.

Charity grinned at him. She turned around and kissed him. "I love you, too."

"Okay, I'll see you when you get back. Have fun. I love you." Tony replied. He bent down slightly for one more kiss.

Then Charity walked out the door with Ziva and Abby.

Tony looked at the baby in his arms. "It's just us boys."

Gibbs looked at Tony. "If you need me, I'll be working on my boat."

"Okay, thanks boss." Tony said.

The girls...

"Shall we take my car?" Ziva asked.

"This is a special day." Charity said. "We'll take Lola."

"Lola?" Ziva asked.

"Follow me." Charity said.

Abby looked at Ziva excitedly. "I was hoping we would take Lola."

The three women walked to the garage. Charity walked over to a car and pulled a tarp off of it. Under the tarp rested a '66 candy-apple red mustang convertable. It had black leather interrior. "This is Lola." Charity said. "It's a nice day."

The three women piled in the car and headed out.
