Chapter 1

Anthony DiNozzo couldn't help but smile as he watched his wife emerge from the stairs. She walked at a low peach due to the enormous belly she walked around with.

'Good morning honey' said Tony smiling at his wife's morning hair.

'Good morning' replied Lauren, walking over and placing a kiss on Tony's lips. 'Aw I see you made breakfast'

'Yep I woke up nice and early today. Better get used to it with this little fella arriving soon.' Tony said while touching Lauren's belly.

Tony could not believe how lucky he was to be married to such a beautiful and amazing woman. After the episode with Ziva, which ended up with her leaving him behind, had he not felt like he would ever be whole again. He had a small piece in his heart that were missing, up until the moment he met Lauren for almost two years ago. Thinking back he never thought he would end up being married to his dream woman with whom he would be expecting his first child. But now as he sat at their kitchen table he couldn't be happier.

'So what are your plans today? Are you just going to hang around the house?' asked Tony with his mouth full of food.

'No I was thinking about meeting up with Lily and maybe go out to grab some lunch.' answered Lauren while driving a hand up and down her stomach.

'Just don't overdo yourself Lauren, you are after all 9 months pregnant.' said Tony with a worried tone.

'I won't.' promised Lauren. 'I just really wish she would arrive soon. I'm so tired of being pregnant.'

'I know baby.' Tony said. 'I'm sure she will be here in the next couple of days, remember that the doctor told us at our last appointment that it wouldn't be long. It could be any day now.'

Tony rose from his chair and walked over with the dishes. 'I better get to work, Gibbs will kill me if I'm late.' Tony said as he stepped over to his wife, placing a tenderly kiss on her lips. 'Promise to call me if there is anything, okay?'

'I promise.' replied Lauren with a smile. 'Now get going so you don't get late.'

Tony smiled and gave her one last kiss before he left the house.


'Grab your gear! We've got a dead navy lieutenant at Rock Creek Park.' Gibbs said as he stood up and holstered his gun.

Tony, McGee and Bishop all stood up and grabbed their bags before hurrying after Gibbs to the elevator.

'I'll take the front seat!' said Tony.

'You always sit in the front seat… Don't you think either Ellie or me should sit there for once?' asked McGee.

The elevator reached the ground floor and the door swung open. Gibbs and Bishop stepped of the elevator and into the parking lot.

Tony grabbed McGee's shoulder and kept him back while looking at him like he was totally out of his mind. 'Ehm no. I am after all the Senior Field Agent.'

'Not long if you don't get your butt over to the car.' barked Gibbs.

Tony and McGee hurried over to the car where Bishop already sat in the front seat smirking back at Tony. He opened the backseat door offended.

Sitting in the car Tony made sure his phone was on as well as the ringing tone. He had to make sure he didn't miss a call from Lauren, he thought. He had since last week been all edgy whenever a call came in. He realized how anxious he was about this whole pregnancy thing. What if something went wrong? He shook the thought away, he could not be thinking like that.


Lauren entered the small restaurant looking around for her best friend, Lily. Spotting her at a table at the far end of the restaurant, she made her way towards her. Her trips to the city had started to be fewer and shorter and she always made sure to have her phone ready in case she needed to call Tony. This whole pregnancy was a great stain on her. She just wanted it to be over, to hold her little girl in her arms.

'Hi Lil.' greeted Lauren as she reached the table.

'Hi Lauren.' smiled Lily. 'Wow girl you are getting big.'

'I know, she can arrive anytime now.' said Lauren.

Lauren and Lily sat and ate their lunch while catching up on the last few days. Lauren's hand flew suddenly up to her stomach.

'I need to go to the restroom.' said Lauren as she flew up from the chair and nearly ran to the restroom.

Lauren emerged from the restroom just moments later with a nervous look on her face.

'Oh my god Lily!' said Lauren with an anxious voice as she reach their table.

'What is it?' asked Lily in wonder.

'I just think my water broke.' Lauren said nervously.

'We need to get you to the hospital then.' said Lily trying to stay calm.

'I need to call Tony.' Lauren said just as a strong contraction hit her.

Lily found Lauren's phone and pressed the speed dial bottom.

Tony answered after the second ring. 'Lauren is everything ok?'

'Tony! My water just broke I need you to go home and get my bag and then hurry to the hospital.' Lauren screamed into the phone.

'I'll be right there!' replied Tony and Lauren could hear the anxious in his voice.

After Lauren hung up the phone did Lily raise from the chair and grabbed her and Lauren's coats. She took Lauren by her hand and navigated her out on the street, before finding them a cab.

'I really don't know what I would do without you Lily. Thank you for keeping me relatively calm, but I couldn't help but freak out a little bit in there.' Lauren said as another contraction hit her.

'You are about to have your baby, my goddaughter. You are more than allowed to freak out, it sounded like Tony was about to lose it completely.' Lily replied with a laugh.

'Yeah, he is probably freaking out completely right now. He has been very nervous about this whole baby thing.' she answered.

'Well I'm sure he will be the perfect dad.' Lily said as she saw the hospital appear in the distance. 'Well here we go. You ready to get this little girl into the world?'

'I am more than ready.' Lauren said with a smile while caressing her stomach.
