" So tell me again Tony why you had to go to some godforsaken desert to rescue Ziva when the woman put you on the ground with a gun to your body after Michael Rivkin almost killed you ?"
" You come home injured because Eli David gives you a second going over and with a cold and I am supposed to just pick up the pieces ?" " And then I hear that you told that woman you couldn't live without her. What the hell Dinozzo I'm your wife remember." She pulled off her wedding band and tossed it at Tony's lap with a clunk.
Kate whistled and their recently acquired German Shepherd Zeus bounded over in his puppy way. " Zeus let's go for a walk , mom needs to calm down right now." The door clicked shut after Kate set the alarm while hooking the dogs leash to his collar.
Tony said " Kate." It was groggy sounding from pain medication. He went to their couch with an ice pack on his injured shoulder area. The sling drove him nuts . He munched absently on some M&Ms candy that Abby had brought over with a Disney cartoon movie.
He had for sure screwed the pooch on this one.
The Jungle Book, He remembered this being actually one of the few movies he had gone to with Senior growing up. It had been a good day for a change with his father. He hadn't said that watching so many movies would make him too soft when he bacame a man for once and he had even cooked Tony's favorite pasta with sausage and peppers for dinner that night . For a while he got lost in the movie and then drifted off when it was finishing .
He didn't even hear Kate and Zeus come back a while later even though the dogs collar usually jingled when he came into the house.
He felt something touch his face and his eyes opened.
" Kate?" He said tiredly,
" Tony I just don't like seeing you get hurt, I can't get my head around Ziva being my replacement on the team when her brother kidnapped me once and shot me." " I am glad that Director Morrow offered me the position at Homeland. I don't mind the routine of patrolling Ronald Reagan airport daily. And I get home at a decent hour. I also was going to wait and tell you this but we're pregnant."
" Best guess is late October but I am hoping for a non Halloween Baby Dinozzo. I can hear the heartbeat and have the sonogram a few weeks. And we can find out what it is too."
Tony stood up slowly and kissed her . " A baby." His hand moved slowly down her waist. " I can't find it honey."
" I'm only six weeks , it will be obvious soon enough." Kate smiled.
" I love you Kate and I want a little girl."
" Well then I hope I can deliver on that."
