Tony looked up when Tim came in, alone, but through the window he could see Gibbs pacing back and forth. "Problem?"

"I don't know, find out in a minute." Tim left the door open behind him and they both watched as Gibbs visibly squared his shoulders and walked up to the porch. In spite of everything else going on, they were both honestly

This is just so good! What a perfect segue into a relationship that includes all three of them. I am glad the air has been cleared and they can all move on to the next steps. Tony's clear understanding of what Tim faced on his own is wonderful. Tim confiding in Jimmy and then Jimmy telling Tony after 30 seconds of browbeating is completely in character. The rare Gibbs apology was an absolute necessity for them all to heal and move on.

I love Tony's need for Gibbs to understand all that McGee is capable of when explaining about the cabin. And Gibbs shock at hearing how much McGee did himself. Then to flip it around and realize how much of what Tim did was for the express purpose of keeping Tony happy and comfortable is so sweet. It made me laugh that after all of this Tony throws out that Tim is allergic to sawdust. That just makes the work he's done that much more special. I laughed when Tim and Tony agreed that chores are in order to help everyone clear their heads and Gibbs is left with nothing but a single word response and a raised eyebrow. So perfect. I cannot wait for more!

I hope your grandson had a great birthday and is enjoying his new Iron Man from grandma.

Thank you. I think it was a necessary step in the process and opened up the last of the secrets

Both of the boys are making sure Gibbs knows fully about the other. Tim laying down the law about the alcohol, Tony bragging about all the repairs and updates, all steps to Gibbs knowing them in a way he never has before. Now, wait until Gibbs sees that imported ax and the "doohickey" that Tim built for Tony.

It was a great birthday. Between Iron Man, Plants vs Zombies, Minecraft and Power Rangers he got pretty much everything he'd ever imagined. Now, we need more batteries. Somehow we came up one battery short, so Iron Man shoots, but he doesn't talk yet.
