Tony and Charity walked down the steps, Tony carrying AJ. Abby looked up and snapped a few pictures of the family. "Adorable!" She squealed.
McGee looked up. "Matching outfits with your son?" He asked Tony.
Before Tony could respond, Abby gave him a head slap and Charity gave him the Gibbs stare. "I'm just getting myself in all kinds of trouble today." McGee said. Then he looked at Charity, "You really look like your father when you do that."
Charity grinned. "I take that as a compliment."
Before anything else could be added to the conversation, there was a knock at the door. Charity answered it and found that Ziva stood on the other side of the door. Before long, Memaw arrived, followed by Duckie and then Palmer and Breena. Soon everyone, including Senior, had arrived and the party moved to the backyard.
Gibbs was standing at the grill and Abby was checking on a few things and Charity and Tony were mingling with the guests and showing off AJ. Everyone was talking and laughing and having a good time.
Gibbs glanced down at his watch and told Tony to watch the grill for him. Then he headed inside. After a few minutes he came back out and called the attention of his daughter. "Charity, I have a surprise for you."
Charity looked up at her father. She watched as he stepped aside and opened the door. Then she was surprised by who walked through the door. "There's my best gal." came the familiar gruff voice.
"Mike!" Charity said running to embrace Mike Franks.
Mike returned her hug. "It's good to see you darlin'."
"It's good to see you, too." She replied and pulled away.
Mike looked down at Charity. "So, whose the lucky man that I have to give an ass-kicking?"
"That would be me." Tony spoke up walking to stand beside Charity, holding AJ still.
A stunned look came across Mike's face. Then he looked at Charity. "Seriously? DiNozzo?"
"Surprised me too." Charity said with a grin.
Tony wrapped his free arm around Charity's waist. "A pleasant surprise though?"
"Of course." Charity replied stretching up to kiss his cheek. "Of course the most pleasant surprise was my little AJ." She said reaching a hand over to tickle AJ's tummy. AJ of course giggled and smiled.
Mike just shook his head. "I just can't believe it."
Gibbs looked at his mentor, "Hey, if I can get used to it, you can. I mean I send him to protect her and nine months later I get a grandson." Gibbs told Mike.
The two men laughed and then headed over to the grill. Soon the food was ready and it was time to eat. While everyone was enjoying their meal Abby tapped on her glass to call the group's attention. "It is now time for us to toast the happy couple." She announced. "And as the maid of honor I guess I will go first."
Abby then stood up and raised her glass. "Your relationship started out in a very unique way," Abby began, "But somehow with you two, it makes sense. You guys have found something great and created a modern fairy tale. I love you guys and I wish you the best and a very long and happy marriage. To Charity and Tony."
Everyone lifted their glasses and then took a sip. Ziva then stood and picked up her glass. "I guess that it is my turn as best woman." She spoke. "I have worked with Tony for a few years now, and I have seen him do many stupid things and make many stupid mistakes."
Tony looked over at Ziva and raised an eyebrow in questioning.
"And for once he got something right. He found a wonderful woman and now has a beautiful family. To Tony and Charity may you have a long and happy life together, and may Tony continue to stumble into good luck."
Everyone enjoyed a laugh and raised their glasses and took another sip. Soon the food was gone and it was time to cut the cake. Gibbs took AJ and Charity and Tony walked over to the cake. They sliced the cake. Of course Tony shoved the cake into Charity's face as he bgan to feed it to her.
Charity gave Tony a sly mischievous grin on her cake-covered face. She wrapped her arms around Tony's neck and pulled him in close. She planted a kiss on his lips and then covered his face in kisses, to get the cake to cover his face.
Tony laughed. "I should have known you would get revenge." He replied.
Charity giggled. "You know me so well."
Abby was of course snapping pictures. "This stuff is too good. I love wedding receptions."
Tony helped Charity wipe off her face and then she helped him wipe off his. Then they lifted their glasses and crossed linked their arms to take a sip. After that was finished, Abby announced that it was time for the father daughter dance.
Gibbs handed AJ over to Tony and then took his daughter's hand. They walked out to stand in front of everyone. Charity put a hand on her father's shoulder and he put one between her shoulder blades. The music started and they danced to the song "I Loved her First" by Heartland.
When the song was over Gibbs pulled Charity close and kissed her forehead. "I love you baby girl."
"I love you, too Daddy."
"Okay, now it's time for the bride and groom to have their first dance." Abby announced.
Tony walked over and passed AJ to Gibbs and then took Charity in his arms. He put his hands on her hips and Charity wrapped her arms around his neck. They gazed lovingly into each other's eyes.
Now, Tony and Charity hadn't been able to agree on a song, so they had given Abby permission to pick their song. The couple shared a laugh as the lyrics to "Accidentally In Love" came over the speakers.
"You do have to admit, it is perfect." Charity said, a smile on her face.
"True." Tony replied, smiling back.
When the music ended, Tony pulled Charity in for a passionate kiss.
"DiNozzo, you really need to stop that. That's my daughter." Gibbs called out to Tony.
Charity looked at her father. "You do realize, Daddy, that I am now a DiNozzo, too?"
"Only by marriage. You will always be a Gibbs." He told her with a smirk.
The party continued and soon it was time for the bouquet toss. Charity stood with her bouquet and had her back to the single ladies. She threw her bouquet and looked back to see who would catch it. she watched as it sailed over all the ladies' heads and made its way to land in McGee's lap.
"Ah, McGoober is going to be a bride next!" Tony couldn't stop himself from saying.
Abby of course snapped several pictures of the surprised McGee and everyone laughed. "It is just not my day." McGee muttered to himself.
"Okay, now it's time to throw the garter!" Abby announced.
A chair was broght out to the middle of the yard and Tony led Charity to it. Charity sat down and Tony knelt down in front of her. He had a goofy grin on his face. He slipped her shoe off and then reached up her dress and slowly slipped the garter off her thigh, making sure to tickle her. She giggled as he slipped the garter off her leg.
Once the garter was removed, Tony tossed it over his shoulder. He looked back to see who caught it. He watched as the garter flew threw the air and landed on top of Senior's head. Tony of course chuckled. "Does this mean I have to call McGee Mommy?" He asked, jokingly.
Everyone laughed. The party continued and everyone had a good time. Everyone paid their dollar and took turns dancing with the bride. Charity was dancing with Mike and they were talking.
"Now you let me know if you ever need me to kick his butt for you." Mike told her.
Charity laughed. "Don't worry I will."
"Or if you change your mind, I'm always here to help you get out of it. Of course, I might be taken by then. I may have moved on with Abby." Mike joked with Charity.
Charity giggled again. "Don't worry, I'm going to be just fine. I also don't see myself changing my mind any time soon."
"Okay, just remember I'm always here."
Charity just laughed. When the music stopped she stretched up and kissed Mike on the cheek.
When th party was over, the guests headed home. Gibbs headed down to the basement to begin working on a project. Charity had gotten AJ to sleep. Tony took AJ from Charity and carried him up and put him in bed.
Charity stood with Tony and they gazed down at their son. Tony put his arms around Charity and held her. He kissed the top of her head. "Thank you." He told her.
"For what?" She inquired, looking up at him.
"For giving me a family." He answered. "And I am going to spend the rest of my life thanking you everyday for our wonderful family. I love you."
Charity smiled up at Tony. "I love you, too." She said, just before stretching up to kiss him.
A/N: I know they killed Mike off on the show, but I just love him and he's one of my faves and I just wanted to bring him in this fic. And this is the end of this fic as well. I hope everyone has enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I am going to continue it in another fic. I also have those other ideas that I am going to be writing eventually. Hope you all will read them as well. Thanks again for all your reviews and support.
