A Pain Never Forgotten (NCIS) - Part Two

Chapter Ten

Kelly and Tony spoke all day, ate pizza laughed together and cried together well Kelly and TJ cried, they were going through the wonder of parenthood together and learning everything together.

As they sat on the sofa resting after their hectic day Kelly couldn't keep it in any longer "Do you only want us to sort things out because of TJ?"

"No, not at all" he panicked grabbing her hand "I didn't realise it while you were in America but as soon as you left I couldn't take it, my mind was all over these past few months, but I knew you wasn't ready to come back, now I see why"

"Are you sure? I don't want you to mess me around like you have all those other women for the sake of TJ"

"I'm sure, I've never felt like this since I was DiNardo" Tony smiled

"What?!" Kelly quizzed

"Okay, so maybe we have to talk about that, it was just when I was undercover"

"Ah right okay" Kelly laughed she leaned over to kiss him but was stopped in her tracks but her apartment door bursting open.

"England is so great" Abby chirped "but they don't sell caf-pow" she looked deflated

they all had lots of bags and looked so tired, they had been gone for 8 hours.

"I need sleep, I'm still jet lagged" Ziva said

"Just pick your rooms guys, there's 3 rooms left and 4 of you so I'm not sure what you want to do"

Tony looked to Kelly "I can stay with you if you want or take the sofa, you'll need help in the night"

"Looks like you're all sorted then guys" Kelly said

They all wondered off to their rooms and Tony and Kelly were alone again, she was shocked about what Tony said and didn't really know how to reply.

"You want to stay with me tonight?" Kelly asked

"If you want me to" he whispered

"Okay" Kelly stood up and grabbed Tony's hand and led him to her room, they both kissed TJ night then climbed into bed.

"This is less crazy then the first time when we went to bed together" Tony laughed

"Stop it" Kelly grinned, she stretched her arm out with her palm facing up, Tony looked and grabbed her hand. They laid side by side just holding hands. Tony never imagined he'd be doing this, he'd never even stayed the night in a women bed and if he did he was just planning how he was going to get away in the morning. He never saw himself with a girlfriend and especially not a child. He traced his finger down Kelly's arm with his free hand down to where both their hands where.

"I've never asked about your tattoos, I like the one on your wrist" he said tickling her wrist "why is your skin marked there?"

"Oh erm ... Nothing" she pulled her arm out of his grasp and put it under to covers

"Now I know it's something bad, drunken girls weekend? A fight?" He joked

"No, Tony, it was when I was captured and tortured"

"What?" He asked concerned

"Well you knew I was a party girl before I came to America and I was rebelling against the people who looked after me, well lets face it they didn't like it and wanted to make me stop it, they were trying to teach me a lesson. They wanted me to be ready if I got caught in America after what I was getting sent to do. Remember they just used me Tony. I got the tattoo to cover the marks, it's just rope burn and cuts nothing bad"

"They used you? What do you mean?" Tony asked sitting up

"Nothing, just forget it!" She snapped

Kelly woke up the next day to hear an argument coming from the living room, she assumed her dad was on the phone because she couldn't hear anyone saying anything back.

"I'm not leaving ... Well she hasn't decided to come back with us yet ... I can't leave her ... I'm sure the supplementary team are doing just as good of a job .... I was been polite ... But my team are my family and we don't separate we need to be together"

Kelly walked to the living room "Dad, I'll come back to America with you"

Gibbs turned with the rare smile on his face "that's great"

"But I'm keeping this apartment it's paid off and I don't want to sell it"

"That's fine"

Kelly started to panic at the airport, she didn't really want to take TJ on a plane at such a young age and for such a long journey. she knew he would cry due to the pressure change and it would bother the other passengers. She didn't really want to leave England but she couldn't tell the team that and she still had the apartment so she could come back any time. Kelly left her car parked up in storage so they could use it anytime they came back. The plane journey was long and boring Kelly hated flying TJ wasn't so bad he slept most of the way and the staff helped warm up the bottles. Kelly loved having her family around everyone shared time looking after the baby so every one could have a nap. Kelly was dosing when she could hear Abby.

"This is going to be so cool, we are going stick together like a family and TJ is going to be loved so much by all of us it's like we're all his parents we are going to love him like our own"

"That sounds perfect Abby, it's just what Tony and Kelly need" Ziva replied.

Kelly couldn't help but smile, she'd never had a family like this, she started to feel less scared about the journey she was going with Tony and TJ.

When the team returned to the NCIS base Kelly and TJ in toe they were welcomed back by an angry director Vance, who started to give a lecture to Gibbs. Kelly slipped away in the lift with TJ so she didn't have to hear what he was saying, she went straight to autopsy.

"Hi Duck, Vance is not happy" she said concerned

"Hello my dear, is this the little chap?" He said looking at TJ "oh he is delightful" Ducky smiled

"Thanks Duck"

"Don't worry about your father and Vance, they'll be fine"

"I do hope so Duck, it my fault"

"Don't worry dear, and stop blaming yourself"

Tony walked into autopsy and smiled when he set his eyes on Kelly. He walked over and kissed her on the lips.

"So you guys are trying to make it work?" Ducky cheered

"Yeah, it's for the best" Kelly smiled

"You can have my car keys, so you guys can make your way home, McGee gave me your old apartment keys too" Tony smiled

"Yeah, that sounds great, you are coming tonight yeah?"

"Of course babe, McGee will drop me off at mine I'll pick some clothes up then he'll bring me to yours"

"Sounds great" Kelly grinned.
