A/N: So this is my new story. But the cool/different thing about this one is it's already finished. So I won't get writer's block and end up putting it on hiatus.

Chapter One

"You know, you remind me of Jasmine." Tony said with a grin as he wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders and pulled her closer to him. "The long black hair, the dark eyes. The tight, taunt stomach."

"Tony! This is a child's cartoon." Ziva laughed as Tony snuck his hand up her shirt and stroked her stomach.

"You're both bad asses. You have a knife and gun. She has a pet TIGER!" Tony smiled and Ziva just shook her head at him.

"And who are you, my love?" Ziva smirked as she turned so she was looking at him and not the movie. "Abu or Iago?"

"Funny." Tony said as he tickled her side and she squirmed.

"I thought so." She said and kissed him softly. "I'm kidding. You are the Aladdin to my Jasmine."

"Aw." Tony mocked as his hands went to her hair and kissed her more deeply.

"Why are we watching all these Disney movies again?" Ziva asked as they pulled apart.

"We're having a baby!" Tony beamed and motioned to the T.V. "We gotta know this stuff."

"I thought we were supposed to watch these movies with our child." Ziva laughed and Tony scowled. They had only found out they were expecting a child a week ago.

"Well maybe, but we should still get a head start."

"Ziva?" Tim asked cautiously as he approached her in the hospital waiting room.

"How is he?" she asked already knowing the answer.

"The same." McGee shrugged with a pathetic attempt at a smile.

"What is the last thing he remembers?" Ziva asked as she struggled to stand up.

"Nothing has changed, Ziva." Gibbs said as he appeared from the hallway and placed a comforting hand on Ziva's shoulder. "Go home."

"I can't." Ziva sighed as she looked towards Gibbs who was staring at her, along with Tim.

"Then go to my house." Gibbs said seriously. "Rest, if not for you then for your baby."

"Fine." She huffed. "If he asks, tell him I said goodbye."

"Will do." Gibbs said as he watched his heavily pregnant agent waddle down the hospital corridor.

"Boss?" Tim asked as he kept shifting his weight from side to side.

"Yeah?"

"Are we supposed to tell him he could be a father at any moment?" he asked glancing down the hallway to where Tony's room was.

"If any one is going to tell him, it's gonna be her." Gibbs said. "Come'on lets go deal with DiNozzo."

"I'm not used to this Tony." McGee said as Gibbs moved down the hallway but he stood still. "I'm used to the Tony who doesn't shut up about his wife and unborn baby. Not the Tony who doesn't shut up about his nights and all the different girls he's been with."

"We all are." Gibbs said with a shrug.

"But I don't like this Tony." McGee admitted looking away from his boss. "Not really. What this is doing to Ziva, to all of us."

"I know, McGee." Gibbs sighed.

"I'll say goodbye, then I think I'll have to check on Abby." McGee said as he walked with Gibbs to Tony's room. "God knows what this has done to her."

**

"Hey." Tony said as he looked from the T.V. to the men who entered his room. "I thought you guys headed out."

"I'm on my way." Tim said. "Just wanted to say goodbye."

"Later Probie." Tony laughed and Tim shook his head and left as quickly as he came. "See he hasn't changed much."

"Let'em be DiNozzo." Gibbs said as he sat in the chair by Tony's bed. "You've been in a coma for a month and don't remember shit."

"It's not my fault." Tony protested angrily.

"I know that."

"What about that pregnant chick? Where'd she go?" Tony asked desperate to change the subject.

"Ziva, her name's Ziva." Gibbs said sitting up straighter in his chair. "She went home, she needs her rest."

"When's she due?" Tony asked watching Gibbs closely.

"Last week." Gibbs smirked.

"That sucks." Tony said not really knowing what else to say. "She was my partner?"

"She is your partner." Gibbs corrected as a nurse came in to check Tony's vitals.

"How are you feeling Mr. DiNozzo?" The young blonde nurse asked as she checked over the monitor.

"Good, real good." Tony smiled brightly as he checked her out. "Think I'm ready to go home."

"Not yet." She laughed and finished her exam and left the room promising to be back later.

"She was a looker wasn't she Boss?" Tony smirked as he looked to the man in the chair.

"Yeah." Gibbs said. Even though Tony didn't remember the last several years of his life Gibbs still felt like he witnessed Tony cheating on Ziva just by watching him flirt with some nurse. "I think I'm gonna head out."

"Okay." Tony said looking suddenly small in his hospital bed.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Tony." Gibbs nodded and left the room.

"Bye." Tony said watching his boss leave the room.

Gibbs entered his house in search of Ziva seeing as she had most of the lights on meant she was likely still awake. He found her in his guest bedroom sitting on the edge staring at a picture.

"Ziver?" Gibbs asked knocking softly as he went around to sit next to her on the bed. "I thought I told you to get some rest."

"Theo will not stop moving." Ziva said as she ran her thumb over the picture and handed it to Gibbs. "You can actually see him moving. It's weird."

"I bet." Gibbs laughed as he set Tony and Ziva's wedding picture back on the nightstand. "What are you going to tell him?"

"Nothing." Ziva said seriously. "He was given a second chance. I'm going to let him take it."

"Second chance at what?" Gibbs asked confused.

"His life."

"Ziva."

"No Gibbs." Ziva interrupted. "I have made up my mind. When you first met Tony did you think he would grow to be a husband and a father?"

"That doesn't matter." Gibbs tried but Ziva shook her head.

"Well someone else did not, or something." She sighed and rubbed her stomach where Gibbs assumed Theo was kicking. "And they gave him another chance to do things over. I will not stop him from making the most of it."

"The baby, Theo?" Gibbs asked softly staring at the wedding photo.

"Theo." Ziva smiled. "I will do everything Tony and I planned. Just without Tony."

"Okay." Gibbs said rubbing his exhausted face.

"It is better this way. Because telling him would just make everything worse." Ziva said as she twirled her wedding band. "Maybe his memory will come back, maybe it will not."

"Have any more contractions?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes, they're getting closer together."

"Why didn't you saying anything?" Gibbs asked frustrated.

"I can deal with it." Ziva yawned. "When my water breaks I will go to the hospital."

"Try and get some sleep." Gibbs said as he left the room.

Tony smiled as the blonde nurse left his room again, this time leaving him with her number. It was past noon and he had been waiting for Gibbs, or someone, to stop by all morning but no one ever came.

"Hey Tony." Abby smiled as she entered the small sterile room.

"Hey Abby." Tony brightened as he sat up in his bed. "Where's Gibbs and McGoo?"

"They're with Ziva." Abby smiled as she pulled the chair from the wall and brought it closer to his bed.

"She alright?" Tony asked noting the sad smile on Abby's face.

"She had her baby." Abby said as she flipped open her phone and showed Tony a picture of the newborn. "Little boy. Theodore Anthony."

"Anthony, huh?" Tony asked cautiously still trying to piece together where Ziva fit into his life.

"It was her husband's name also." Abby said looking at the picture one more time before flipping her phone shut.

"Was?"

"He died." Abby said quickly and Tony let it go.

"That's too bad." Tony said as he watched the blonde nurse walk by his window. "See her?"

"Yeah." Abby said turning in her chair.

"We're going out when I get out of here."

"Good for you, Tony." Abby said with a tight voice.

"Yeah." Tony said suddenly feeling awkward, like he'd done something wrong.

"I'm going to go back to Ziva and Theo." Abby said. "But I'll send McGee or Gibbs your way."

"Thanks Abs." Tony said as he watched his friend leave.

Theodore Anthony David was 7 pounds 4 ounces and 20 inches long. His eyes remained closed mostly for the few hours he had been alive but Ziva was able to catch a glimpse at the newborn blue irises which she suspected would turn green. He also had a super fine layer of black hair on his head.

"He's pretty calm." Tim said as he cradled the newborn who had his hand fisted around Tim's finger. "I thought they were supposed to cry all the time."

"Not all the time, McGee." Gibbs laughed as he took the baby from Tim. "We'll set him down for a nap and go see Tony."

"What if he cries?"

"Then the nurse will help Ziva breastfeed him." Gibbs said gently laying Theo in his crib. "Unless you want to."

"No!" Tim said and Gibbs glared as they looked over to see if Ziva had woken.

"Let them sleep." Gibbs said as he pushed Tim out of the room. "Let's go see what trouble DiNozzo has gotten himself into."

"I don't know if I can." Tim said looking back in Ziva's room. "He was so excited for this."

"I know." Gibbs said as they both heard Abby come down the hallway.

"He already has a date!" Abby screeched. "Not even out of the hospital yet and he's already picking up women."

"Abby." Tim tried to stop her.

"His son was born today." Abby said suddenly on the verge of crying. "Their first baby and he's back to picking up busty blondes."

"Abby." Gibbs said and Abby quieted. "How's he doing?"

"Fine." Abby said and Gibbs looked between Tim and Abby.

"Let me know when she wakes up." Gibbs said and headed for Tony's room.
