"Tony, I'm tired of your whining. If you don't take the deal and you continue to whine about being grounded; you are going to end up with a warm bottom and STILL be grounded."

Tony looked at his father wide eyed for a moment but knew not to push his luck.

"Can I think about it at least?"

"We have a lot planned. You have five minutes."

TO BE OR NOT TO BE….GROUNDED

Hollis was helping their youngest, Hanna put on her shoes. Leroy was gathering everyone else up to leave for breakfast.

"Tim and Ziva, turn off the game, that's your second warning. You're both lucky I'm feeling generous. Abby," Leroy called out, "Abby!"

He looked around and didn't see her anywhere. He opened the door and was about to go looking for her when he spotted her walking his way.

"Abigail, where have you been little girl?" He asked sternly as she stepped back into the hotel suite.

"I was just out exploring the area, that's all."

"Well, I know you didn't ask my permission. Did your mother give you the okay?"

Abby looked down at her feet. "No, she was too busy with Hanna and you were busy with Tony." She answered then looked back up. "I didn't go far daddy, I really didn't."

"You don't have to go far for something bad to happen. Even if you just fell we wouldn't have known. God forbid you encountered someone bad and they took you."

Leroy was about to continue with all the bad scenarios of what could happen and why leaving without permission was a dangerous thing to do and especially in an unfamiliar place. He looked down at the petite 13 year old that looked closer to 9 or 10 with her two ponytails. The thought of losing her scared him to death. He took her arm and walked her over to the nearest bed.

"You know better Abigail. You know better."

He said simply as he sat down on the edge of the bed. It didn't matter that the family was around, she did something foolish and he needed to make sure he did all he could to teach her to think twice next time. He guided her quickly over his lap and flipped up her black summer dress. He would normally spank his children on the bare but since the rest of the family was around he kept her panties up. However that didn't stop him from getting the lesson across. He positioned her so he had better access to her sit spots.

"Daddy, I'm sorry, I won't do it again!" Abby tried.

Leroy ignored her as he knew she had a very curious nature about her. He loved that; but, it didn't mean she could just take off on her own. He used his hand and gave her 50 solid hard spanks on her little bottom.

OUTSIDE

Hollis had guided the rest of their children outside to give her husband and their daughter some privacy.

"Tim, Ziva please take Hanna and get us a table at the restaurant downstairs. Hanna, you better be a good girl for your brother and sister, alright?"

"I will mama, pomise."

Hollis smiled at her youngest and kissed her cheek before she handed her over into Tim's arms. The three headed out. Hollis then looked over at her eldest.

"Have you decided? I couldn't help but hear the alternative your father gave you if you didn't want to be grounded."

Tony just kept cringing with every spank he heard given to his little sister.

"I don't know mom, I really don't want to be grounded but, seeing Abby, ouch. I just don't know."

SEVERAL MINUTES LATER….

Leroy opened the door with a humbled 13 year old by his side. He kissed the top of her head and repeated three words again. "I love you."

"I love you too daddy."

"Go with mom, Tony and I will be there shortly."

"K daddy." Abby answered as she took a hold of her mother's hand.

Hollis gave her husband a small smile for support and a caring squeeze on Tony's arm before she and Abby left. Tony took a deep breath and walked back into the room.

"By you staying behind I take it you made your decision to not be grounded any longer?"

Tony sighed, "Yes dad."

"Alright then grab your mother's hairbrush in the bathroom and bring it over."

Tony cringed at the thought but did as he was told. Less than 30 seconds later he returned with the evil implement and handed it to his father.

"Shorts and boxers down and over my lap. You know the drill Tony."

"Yes dad." Tony answered a bit nervously but obeyed.

Once Tony was in position Leroy didn't hesitate to begin.

TWENTY MINUTES LATER…

Leroy and Tony arrive in the restaurant. Its evident Tony had been crying. They both sit down. Tony sits carefully; Abby gives him an empathetic look as she especially feels for him at that moment.

"I hope you both don't mind but I ordered what I believed you would have." Hollis advised.

Shortly after her statement the waiter arrived with the food and Leroy and Tony were both very pleased with their orders.

"Thanks mom, this is perfect."

"You're welcome sweetheart."

"Yes, thank you. This is perfect." Said Leroy as he smiled at his wife.

"Tony, you gonna swim with the dawfins too." Hanna asked.

Before he could answer Hollis responded. "I think Tony is going to have some adventures of his own today, maybe another time sweetie."

"Actually I think I will check out the dolphins with you guys." Tony answered.

"Really?" Tim asked surprised, "but you're not grounded anymore. I thought you wanted to check out the local babes and explore your "manhood." Tim smirked.

"Naaa I can do that anytime. I want to be here with you guys…my family. Even you Tim." Tony answered as he smirked back.

It was that moment Leroy looked around and never felt happier. He had everything he could possibly ever want, his family…the Gibbs family.
