Tony roamed around the city until he spotted a church. Without much thought he went inside the church. The church was mostly empty with only a few people here and there. Tony sat down and let everything that Carlo told him sink in. They were dead. Really dead, but he still had so many questions such as, why he had a dream about people who've been dead for seventy years or so?
After sitting there for a while Tony got up and left the church for the graveyard behind it. He walked through the graveyard glancing at the tombstones until he came to an unmarked grave. The tombstone was different from the other tombstones in the graveyard. It was made out of ivory or something close to it compared to the typical gray stones of the other graves. Tony bent down looking for any sign of whose grave it was. He let out a sigh as he couldn't find out who might be buried here.
That's where Gibbs found him on his knees next to a grave. Jethro walked over and gently placed his hand on his shoulder. Tony looked up at Gibbs "Tony perhaps, I should take you home."
Tony only nodded in agreement. The two left the church and Gibbs drove Tony back to his apartment. "You know, since we are engaged now I think it would be a good idea if we moved in together. We can get started after I get home from work how does that sound?"
"Okay." Tony said giving him a small smile before kissing his cheek.
"Tony, if you need anything, anything at all you call me no matter what okay?"
Tony nodded giving Jethro a smile before he kissed his cheek. He waved Gibbs goodbye before heading up to his apartment to start packing. Once he was inside his apartment he glanced around trying to decide where to start first.
It was then he remembered what that waitress in his dream said about his grandmother's homemade lasagna. He went into the kitchen and pulled out his recipe box scanning through his recipes to find his grandmother's recipe. As he glanced at the recipe he noticed something lodged in the back of the box. Was that always there? He reached and pulled out the small piece of paper.
He glanced at the paper and realized it was a letter.
Dear Maria Dinozzo,
I am happy to hear that the lasagna recipe I gave you was a success for your family. You can keep it and claim it as your own Signora Dinozzo. I have a favor I wish to ask you, I am sending you some things I treasure dearly you are the only one I trust who won't sell them keep it safe until I arrive in America. I look forward to meeting your children.
With love,
Michael Weatherly
Tony placed the letter down on the counter. Well that explained a great deal he glanced at the date of the letter. March 1943. Michael never got a chance to see his grandmother again, nor her children. He wondered what the things he sent her were. He placed the letter in his pocket as he began to slowly start packing his things.
While packing up some of his old records something slipped out from one of his Def Leppard records. He glanced at the small object wrapped in a white cloth he bent down and unwrapped it carefully. He let out a gasp at the sight of a pendent necklace. He saw this before; it was Michael's from his mother.
He stuffed the necklace in his pocket as he continued to pack his things. Once he had all he could get packed by himself he sat down on his couch looking over the necklace. What else could he have sent his grandmother other than this necklace? He thought for a moment before getting up and heading to his room he went and dug through his closet. He pulled down a small box off the shelf of things his grandmother kept. Mainly just old letters and what not.
He opened the box and picked up one piece of paper at a time. He came to the end of all the old letters to a folded up piece of paper. He opened it carefully it was musical notes. This was the song he wrote himself he wasn't the greatest at reading musical notes but he was sure this was it. He looked down at the bottom of the box to find a record one of those small records. He snatched the record and went to play it in his record player.
It was a ballad a slow ballad sung in Italian. It was definitely Michael's voice he caught a few words when we kiss sparks fly. I get lost in your eyes.
There were several other sentences he caught every so often. He really wasn't that fluent in Italian even though he was half Italian the only one in his family that spoke fluent Italian was his grandparents. He sat down on the couch just listening to the song when Gibbs showed up.
"That's a pretty song."
"It's Michael's song." Tony said as he gave his fiancée a kiss.
Jethro helped Tony move along with Abby, Ducky, McGee, and Ziva. Abby was ecstatic when she saw the ring on Tony's finger she jumped him giving Tony the biggest bear hug ever.
They spent the next several days getting everything of Tony's moved into Gibbs's house. Once Tony was fully moved in they began to talk about wedding preparations. Abby was insistent on helping out on everything wedding related.
Gibbs caught Tony sitting quietly listening to that record again crying. "What's wrong Tony?" He asked as he sat down wrapping his arms around him. "He never got a chance to hear this song." Tony sniffled.
Gibbs didn't know what to say as he held Tony close to him before he fell asleep in his arms.
A few months later…
Tony stood looking himself over in the mirror today was the day he was getting married to the man of his dreams. He had to pinch himself several times to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He put the pendent necklace on it made him feel close to Michael, even though technically he never met him. He brought him peace of mind as well as helped calm his anxieties.
They decided to do an outdoor wedding it was the perfect day for it. Tony's father never showed as to be expected he didn't believe his father would ever come to see him. Tony had the biggest smile on his face as the time for it to begin grew near. Finally it was time for him to walk down the aisle he walked confidently as everyone was looking at him. He looked at Gibbs in that tight fitting black suit god he looked gorgeous. The suit left nothing to his imagination Tony was sure he could see the outline of Jethro's cock in those pants.
He stood next to Jethro as the priest began his sermon.
"We are gathered here on this glorious day to bear witness to a union of Leroy Jethro Gibbs to Anthony DiNozzo. Do you Leroy Jethro Gibbs take Anthony DiNozzo as your lawfully wedded husband for richer or poorer for in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Gibbs said confidently.
"Do you Anthony DiNozzo take Leroy Jethro Gibbs as your lawfully wedded husband for richer or poorer for in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Then by the power in me I now pronounce you married."
Jethro leaned forward and kissed Tony they heard applause and someone say "French it up!"
Tony could only chuckle as he worked Gibbs mouth over inserting his tongue deep inside his mouth as Gibbs slid his tongue inside his own. Tony had a vague idea who said that.
Once they finally broke apart from the kiss the two walked down the aisle together as a married couple. As they walked Tony stopped as he spotted two people standing at the end of the aisle. One had his arm wrapped around the others middle. Tony blinked a few times it was Mark and Michael.
The two of them smiled at Tony before they turned around and walked off together. They disappeared into the distance together. Tony couldn't help but smile they found each other again there love was truly powerful if they could find each other even in death. Tony hoped the love Gibbs and him shared was just as strong.
"Are you alright Tony?" Gibbs asked.
"I am just fine Jethro."
Tony's mission was over he found what he was looking for. He found the truth about Mark and Michael, and above all he found out that the man he's loved for ten years loved him. Now, they are starting a new journey together. No matter what life threw at them he believed that their love for each other will last through until the next life. Tony knew he could never take the place of Gibbs's girls, but he knew he was in his heart somewhere it may not be his whole heart but it was there. Tony was fine with that. Nothing else mattered Jethro loved him and he loved Tony that was enough.
All Mark and Michael had been love for each other. That was all he needed with Jethro and that's what he got.
