Warnings: SLASH, MPREG and just to clear it up for this story: I guess this can be considered AU, because in this world, men can get pregnant and it's common knowledge, even though pregnant men aren't that many, but the possibility is there... oh and I guess the characters are OOC from time to time and I hope you don't mind too much...

Disclaimer: None of the NCIS characters belong to me. I just borrowed them for a little while… this is not for money but for entertainment only…

Chapter 13

.

Tony had already rang the doorbell before he remembered that he actually had a key that Tobias had given him yesterday. But , even though it was hard to admit, he was still in shock about what Cultoni had said and done to him only minutes before to think clearly. So Tony waited patiently until Tobias opened the door for him and let him into the house.

Tobias looked at him, immediately concerned, but he masked it well and greeted Tony with a kug and a kiss for the cameras Cultoni had installed and DiNozzo was at least recovered enough to go along with it and give him a smile, no matter how small and shaky it was.

He grabbed Tobias's hand and pulled him towards the bedroom, putting on a show for the cameras too until they'd closed the bedroom door behind them. Then he let go of Fornell's hand and went to sit down on the bed, burying his face in his hands for a moment. Fornell watched him with concern and sat down beside him on the bed, but he didn't touch him, because he wasn't sure if his touch was welcome.

"Are you okay, Tony? Did Cultoni do something? Do you need to talk to Gibbs?" The honest concern in Fornell's voice and the offer to let him call Gibbs made Tony finally look up. The NCIS agent took a deep breath and looked at Tobias, blurting out before he lost his nerve: "I'm pregnant."

.

The words hung in the room and for a moment Fornell gaped at him like a fish out of water and in any other situation Tony might have found that expression funny. But right now he only rubbed his arms to warm himself and then he looked at Fornell again.

"And it might be your baby," he added before really losing his bravery. Tobias jumped up from the bed at those words and started pacing the room, the silence heavy between them and Tony was ready for an angry outburst, but he never expected Tobias to fall to his knees in front of him and grab his hands.

"God Tony, why didn't you tell me? I would never have dragged you into this mess if I'd known you're carrying my baby."

Tony stared at Fornell a little dumbfounded and told him tiredly: It could also be Jethro's baby..."

"Still... shit Tony, we can't let Cultoni find out about the baby." Tobias said and his eyes widened when Tony stiffened immediately.

"He knows?" Tobias questioned, more than a little shocked.

"He knows," Tony confirmed and started to tell Tobias everything that had happened and how Cultoni had threatened him. When he was finished, Fornell was furious.

.

But Tony couldn't really tell who he was furious at. So he just let the FBI agent rage until he'd calmed down a little and then he questioned: "So, what do we do now?"

He knew that Fornell called the shots here and he'd be the one to decide what was going to happen next. Tobias sighed and ran a hand along the back of his neck, a sure sign that he was at a loss what to do too. This was a complication he really hadn't planned on.

"Normally I'd say we'd just stage a break-up and pull you out of this operation, but I fear that wouldn't help, but only achieve the contrary and make Cultoni make his move towards you even earlier," he explained and Tony had to agree to that. Then, however, the NCIS agent felt an idea forming in his head. He knew it was dangerous and Gibbs would throw a fit if he knew what Tony was thinking about, but it would probably help to gather the evidence they needed faster and he could get this over with soon.

"Maybe we should still stage that fight," he started and Fornell opened his mouth to protest, but Tony held his hand up.

"Let me finish please, Tobias."

.

Fornell nodded slowly and so Tony continued: "I mean not today but maybe in a few days. I mean, Cultoni seems to be willing to woo me properly if he sees that it's working, so maybe I should pretend that I'm falling for that slowly and then we can stage that fight and I can call him and ask him if I can stay with him. I'm sure he'll allow that and then I can go look for evidence directly in the lion's den."

Tobias stared at Tony as if he'd grown a second head.

"Sometimes I really wonder if you're crazy or simply suicidal," Tobias snorted, before he started pacing again. Tony chuckled dryly.

"Neither, Tobias, but I want this over asap and as you said, pulling me from the op won't do any good now," he stated and as much as he hated it, he knew that Tony had a point. Tobias himself had never been invited to Cultoni's mansion and he doubted that he would be any time soon. If anyone had a chance to get in there, it would be Tony. Still, that didn't mean that he had to like it and he knew for certain that Gibbs would hate it.

.

"I don't think that this is such a good idea as you think it is," he started, but Tony quickly interrupted him: "I know it's not a good idea, but it's the best chance we've got. And I've done this before, remember?"

Tobias rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"Ye, I know, but that was with the little difference that you didn't put your unborn child in danger that time," he pointed out. Tony's shoulder sagged a little and he put a hand on his stomach, rubbing in slow circles.

"Don't you think I know that?" he asked, because the last thing he wanted to do, was to put his child at risk, but as things were right now, him and his child were at risk, no matter what he did.

"Jethro is already trying to find out how Cultoni knows about the baby," he explained, because that particular fact still bothered Tony. How on earth could Max have known that Tony was expecting a baby?

.

Tony's words made Fornell remember that he might be a father soon. He sat down on the bed again, studying Tony.

"We can discuss that plan later, because it needs proper planning anyway, so we can make sure you're as save as you can possibly be and I'm sure that Gibbs has a few choice words to say to that stupid idea you have," he explained and then he looked Tony straight in the eye.

"So you're pregnant with what could be my child? When exactly were you going to tell me that hadn't Cultoni forced your hand?"

Tony flinched a little.

"Honestly?"

"Honestly," Fornell confirmed, eyes traveling to Tony's slightly rounded stomach and he wondered how he hadn't noticed that earlier.

"I wasn't sure if I should tell you about the situation at all. I mean, don't take this the wrong way, Tobias, but I really hope it's Jethro's baby," he explained, smiling softly at the FBI agent, hoping that the other man understood. Fornell nodded slowly. He got that, he really did and he didn't begrudge Tony that thought. But he still needed to know something very important to him.

"And if it's my kid?"

Tony had thought about that possibility more than once and he had made his mind up about this a while ago.

"Then you're going to be part of the child's life as much as you want to be and when he or she is old enough to understand then we're going to sit down and explain it to them. I mean, I grew up with a neglecting father at best and a total asshole at worst, so I'd be delighted for my son or my daughter to have two loving fathers."

"Three," Tobias reminded with a small smile and Tony grinned.

"Technically I'm the mother, but I get what you mean and hopefully you get what I wanted to say."

Tobias nodded, not totally satisfied with that answer, but at least Tony would allow him into the child's life if it was his.

"I get it. It's not what I wanted to hear, but I appreciate your honesty," the FBI agent admitted and then silence descended upon them again.

.

Tony broke the silence again.

"You know, I'm kind of glad that I was forced to tell you. You had a right to know, no matter how I feel about that subject," he told Tobias and it was indeed a weight off his shoulders. And Fornell agreed with him.

"And I'm glad that you told me, too. I mean, you could simply have said that it's Gibbs's baby."

Tony looked at Tobias with wide eyes. That thought had actually never occurred to him after Max had made sure he had to tell Fornell. He had been sure, well at least most of the time, that if Fornell learned about the pregnancy then Tony would also tell him that it could be his baby. So he simply shrugged.

"Well, you'll have to pretend that it's your baby for now anyway, because I'm pretty sure that Max," there was a lot of disdain in his voice when he said that name, "... will come by tomorrow to test us again and he'll make sure that I've told you about the baby. He tried to find out if I'd cheated on you, probably for blackmail to get me to go out with him. When he thought that wouldn't work, he threatened you," Tony explained. He still couldn't believe how nonchalant the mob boss had been about this whole thing. Fornell smiled, a genuine one this time.

"It won't be that hard to pretend that I'm over the moon with the news," he assured and Tony eyed him a little sceptically. He just hoped that Fornell wouldn't be too disappointed if it wasn't his baby, the whole undercover operation aside. Tony really didn't want to hurt Tobias, not more than he probably already had. So all he said, was: "That's good to know."

The last part of the sentence ended with a yawn, because now that the shock had worn off, he realized how tired he was and Tobias chuckled.

.

"Maybe we should both try to get some sleep, so that we're going to be on our best game tomorrow," he suggested and Tony had to agree. He had wanted to call Gibbs, but he was too tired to make much sense when he talked to him and he knew it would be better if he was coherent when explaining things to his lover so that Gibbs wouldn't do something stupid. So yes, it was a lot better to only call tomorrow, when he had gotten a lot of rest and wouldn't feel Max's hands on him and the taste of the forced kiss. Tony shuddered for a second, but he quickly pulled himself together. It had just been a kiss and nothing more and somehow he had been way more bothered by Cultoni touching his baby, well his baby bump, but for Tony it was the same.

Tobias looked at him with concern, because he had noticed the shudder.

"Are you alright?" he asked. Tony gave him a nod and a small smile.

"Yeah, I'm just tired and a little worried about what is going to happen next," he told Fornell and the other man nodded in understanding.

"Another reason to get some sleep, Tony. You need to relax after today and after what Cultoni did and said to you," Tobias replied. And that was something Tony couldn't really argue with. So he and Tobias both got ready for bed in silence. And so soon both were lying in the big bed, fast asleep, their bodies not touching, because they both knew that it was better that way... but they were awoken an hour later by the shrill ringing of Tony's phone, signaling that Gibbs was calling with important news that made things a lot more complicated and dangerous...

And for Tony being pregnant and undercover: Well, I'm not sure if it's allowed for a pregnant person to be undercover, but please bear with me and I promise, there is a reason for it *smiles* So I hope it doesn't bother you too much... and you enjoyed reading the new chapter *smiles*
