Protecting Gibbs

Chapter 67

aturday soon arrived. Charity was up bright and early, getting things ready for the party. Both Tony and AJ were still sound asleep. Charity was cleaning the kitchen and pretty much the entire house, even though everyone was going to be outside.

After a little while, AJ and Tony woke up. Tony came down the stairs, AJ in his arms. AJ was in just a diaper and Tony was in a pair of pajama pants, naked from the waist up. Tony walked into the kitchen and put AJ in his highchair.

Charity opened the fridge and pulled out some of AJ's baby food. She started to get ready to feed him, but Tony stopped her. "I will feed him."

Charity smiled up at him. "Alright, just be prepared for him to make a mess of himself and you."

Tony bent down and gave Charity a quick kiss on the lips. They gazed into each other's eyes for a moment, a teasing playflness making both their eyes dance. "Dada!" AJ yelled, calling his parents' attention.

"I'm coming, Buddy." Tony said, pulling his gaze from his wife and turning to his son. He walked over and sat down and began to feed AJ.

Charity watched as Tony fed AJ. The baby food ended up all over AJ's face and in his hair. Some of the food even found its way into Tony's hair. Charity couldn't help but pull out her cell phone and take a few pictures.

Tony looked over at her. "You're enjoying this aren't you?" He asked, his tone teasing.

"Well, duh. I mean its nice not to be the one covered in AJ's food for once." She answered, teasing right back.

Just then, there was a knock on the front door. Charity headed to open it, figuring it would be Abby come early to help. She headed to the front door, still in her pjs, which consisted of one of Tony's t-shirts and a pair of extra short shorts. she opened the door to find not only Abby standing there, but McGee as well.

"Good morning." Abby greeted brightly.

"Morning Abby. Morning Tim." Charity replied, a smile on her face.

McGee looked at Charity and saw her long legs sticking out from under the shirt. He couldn't help but think she looked pretty and for some reason he just stared at her. It started to run through his mind that he really needed to get a girlfriend.

Tony then walked in, carrying AJ, both having a large amount of an orange substance in their hair. "Hey McGoo, pop your eyes back in your head and quit looking at my wife." Tony said, coming to stand behind Charity.

Abby then gave McGee a head slap, as if cued to.

Charity giggled and poor McGee looked stunned.

Charity stepped aside to allow Abby and Tim to enter. Then she shut the door behind them. Abby looked at Tony and AJ. "Looks like I just missed breakfast." She commented.

"Yeah." Tony replied. "It is now bath time."

"Well, after their bath is over it will be time to clean the bathroom. There will be water everywhere." Charity joked, a smile playing at the corners of her lips, and dancing in her eyes.

Tony put an arm around Charity and pulled her in and kissed the top of her head. "I promise we will be good."

Charity laughed. "I believe AJ can be good, but you Tony? I don't think so."

Tony chuckled and kissed Charity once more. Then he headed to the bathroom with AJ in his arms. Abby looked over at Charity, "Alright, what can we do to help?" She asked.

Charity thought for a moment and then gave Abby and McGee their orders. Then she went to do some of her own work. Time seemed to pass quickly and soon it was time to be getting dressed because everyone would soon be arriving.

Charity, Tony, and AJ were all in their room. Charity slipped into a knee-length white sundress. Tony pulled on a pair of jeans and a white dress shirt. Charity dressed AJ to match Tony. "Are you ready for our wedding reception?" Tony asked Charity, pulling her and AJ into a family hug.

"Yes, this is going to be fun." Charity replied, grinning.
