A/N: Because I have little plots that would have never evolved into a story but just wouldn't let me write anything else until they were written.

"Look at that," Tony beamed at the two slumbering boys in their separate play pens, "And the world didn't end."

Allie shook her head, "You're gonna jinx it."

"How can I jinx it? They barely fell asleep like, twenty seconds ago," Tony smirked and scratched his ear, "You know. If the next one is just as bad as these two, I think all our worriers about them ganging up against us and taking over the house will be realized."

"Honey," Allie lovingly smacked Tony's stomach, "They're two, not evil masterminds."

"And you wanted another one," Tony smiled before carefully avoiding another playful smack that was intended for his mid-rift.

"I believe this sort of thing is a joint decision," Allie smiled before taking a seat in the kitchen. She wiped her brow and cringed when the baby inside her gave a particular hard kick against her ribs.

"You okay Allie?" Tony asked, seeing her expression. This pregnancy had been harder than the boys' despite the fact that Allie was only pregnant with one baby.

"Yeah just tired," Allie smiled up at her husband before taking a deep breath and standing once again, "Alright. Mom and Dad will be here in the morning and this house is nowhere near clean. And you to go to work."

"You sure?" Tony said, feeling bad that he had to leave his wife with two toddlers.

"The morning nap is always the hardest. Now go ahead, I'll see you later tonight," Allie shooed Tony towards the front door.

"I'm going, I'm going," Tony grabbed his belt and mic. He didn't even bother calling Cisco, knowing his dog would be waiting by the front door.

"Did anyone ever tell you look cute in a uniform?" Allie kissed Tony as he stepped out the front door.

"Are you trying to seduce me Mrs. DiNozzo?" Tony smirked and kissed Allie back.

"Oh no," Allie said, shoving Tony in the chest, "We all know what happened last time."

"I was only twenty minutes late to work," Tony waggled his eyebrows before moving to kiss Allie again.

"Goodbye Tony," Allie smiled before closing the door in his face.

Cisco, who was whining and scratching at the Tony's K9 police car, looked back at his partner with an "I am not amused" expression.

"I'm coming," Tony hurried over and opened the door for Cisco. Wasting no time, his dog jumped into the back seat and barked at Tony.

"Let's go to work buddy," Tony gave Cisco a good rub before closing Cisco's door and opening his own.
