This was super! I don't know how I missed it back in April, but it was a nice surprise. I was rereading your story about Tony as an Asst Director at FBI and found this one that I enjoyed as well! I look forward to reading more of your work in either AU :)

Sheekap…Thanks for sharing…That was absolutely AMAZING. I LOVED THIS STORY. You did an excellent job presenting the Tony DiNozzo that we seldom see and all love. The story flowed with so much grace I couldn’t stop until I read every word. I loved that Tony confided in Ducky. I loved how you perfectly displayed Tony’s feelings forward the “Team.” Gibbs, McGee, Ziva and even Abby got exactly what they deserved. Tony’s reaction to scene in autopsy was completely understandable and more than acceptable. McGee, Ziva and Abby completely ignored the child distress and selfishly made Tony’s secret all about their feelings. Tony distrust was again perfectly displayed here and I quote, “How was he supposed to trust people that turned off the sound when doing surveillance? Who could put his life in potential danger and then laugh it off as justified? How was he supposed to trust people that would rather call on a retired agent than come to him for help? Who honestly thought him capable of killing someone from jealousy? How was he supposed to trust someone who didn’t see him? Who, when he needed her support and co-operation, merely snapped at him for not being Gibbs? How was he supposed to trust people that didn’t trust him?” I loved the beautiful written ending letting Gibbs and Tony reconnect in an perfect way…can’t wait for the sequel to see how or if Tony is able to reconnect with the others. They really need a wake up call. Again thanks for sharing.

I love your story! Great portrayal of the characters. I hope you do a sequel. I'd love to see how Tony confronts the others. Keep up the good work.

SUPER JOB.....and this soooooooooooo calls for a SEQUEL...i loved how gibbs realized just how baddly he'd MESSED up with tony....and was willing to take the step to make it up to him. would LOVE to see the others, come to realize that they were the reason WHY tony didn't trust them with such a HUGE secert. alisa

I like this story--it's very good. You got the characters just right. Your writing is very good. Do you plan a sequel? I hope so.

I agree with the other posters - this definitely deserves a sequel! Great story, very nicely done.

I really enjoyed the story. I knew Tony would make a great dad. I LOVED the way he protected Bianca at school and then when everybody was yelling down in autopsy. I just need more. I want to know if Tony put everybody in their places or not. I want to know if he told them the REAL reason he never told them about Bianca. I really, really hope you write a part two.

Adds my hope that a sequel is in the offing. This was an excellent story.

Really well done. More in this 'verse would be well received.
