Doctor 1: We will let you in one at a time. Family members first.
Ziva: I'll go now if that's okay.
Doctor 1: That's fine.
(Ziva goes in Tony's hospital room)
Ziva: Tony, please wake up. I don't want this child to be without a parent, maybe even both, because if you die I might ask Abby to kill me and leave no forensic evidence.
(Ziva exits as Gibbs comes in the room)
Gibbs: Tony, you're going to get better soon. You'd better. For Ziva.

Ziva: Okay. You ready Abby?
Abby: Yeah.
Ziva: Then let's go.
(Everyone exits)
(In Ziva's car)
Abby: What did you want to talk to me about?
Ziva: I'll tell you at Tony's apartment.
Abby: Tony's apartment?
Ziva: Yeah. I feel something telling me there's trouble at my apartment, so I'm going to Tony's.
Abby: I'll tell Gibbs about your gut.
(Abby gets out phone and dials Gibbs)
Gibbs: Yeah, Gibbs.
Abby: Hi Gibbs. I'm calling because Ziva has a feeling that something's wrong at her apartment. Would you go check it out?
Gibbs: Sure. Do you want me to bring backup?
Abby: I think you can answer that yourself Gibbs.
Gibbs: You're right. I'll take McGee.
Abby: Thanks Gibbs.
(Hangs up)
(In office)
Gibbs: McGee, gear up.
McGee: Where are we going?
Gibbs: Ziva's apartment.
McGee: What's wrong. Is Abby or Ziva hurt?
Gibbs: No, but Ziva has a bad feeling about going to her apartment, so she's going to Tony's place.
McGee: Okay. Let's go.
(At Ziva's apartment)
Ziva's dad: Where is she? She's so dead.
Ziva's uncle: I don't know where Ziva is, but I know she's dead.

Doctor 2: Thank you.
(Gibbs hangs up)
Gibbs(Yelling): McGee let's go!
(No response from McGee)
Gibbs: MCGEE! If you don't respond I'm coming to find you.
(No Response)
(Gibbs finds McGee staring at a picture)
Gibbs: McGee!
McGee: Yeah, boss?
Gibbs: What are you so involved in that you didn't hear me calling you?
McGee: Check out this picture boss.
(Gibbs looks at a picture of Tony and Ziva at a non professional picnic from before Ziva joined NCIS)
Gibbs: I'm so asking Tony about this!
McGee: Boss, why were you calling me, anyway?
(Gibbs tosses McGee his phone)
Gibbs: Call Ziva. Tell her Tony's awake and is asking for her, also tell her I'll meet her at the hospital.
McGee: Okay.
(McGee dials Ziva)
Ziva: Is something wrong Gibbs?
McGee: It's McGee.
Ziva: McGee, what are you doing with Gibbs' phone?
McGee: I'll explain later. Just go to the hospital.
Ziva: Why? Is Tony awake?
McGee: Yes and he asked for you, Gibbs will meet you there.
Ziva: Why will Gibbs be there?
McGee: Just go. I'll explain everything later.
Ziva: Okay.
(Ziva hangs up)
Gibbs: Did you call her?
McGee: Yes.
Gibbs: Okay. I'll drop you off with Abby and then I'll go.
McGee: Okay.
(At Tony's apartment)
(Gibbs pulls up)
Ziva: Gibbs, what are you doing here?
Gibbs: Dropping McGee off and picking you up.
Ziva: Okay. Why?
McGee: Because that way, if someone checks Tony's apartment, Abby will be safe.
Ziva: Oh. Okay.
(McGee goes into Tony's apartment, as Ziva gets in the car)
(At the hospital)
Tony: Where are they?
Doctor 3: They'll be here soon.
Tony: They'd better be.
Doctor 3: Why?
Tony: Because Ziva, my girlfriend, is pregnant.
(Ziva and Gibbs walk in)
Doctor 3: Here they are.
Tony: I can see that Doc.
(Doctor 3 exits)
Ziva: It's so nice to see you awake, Tony.
Tony: I'm glad to be awake.
Ziva: Do you remember anything from before you went into a coma?
Tony: Well-(Looks at Ziva's medium stomach) How long was I in the coma?
Ziva: Three months, two days.
Tony: Ziva, you have no idea how sorry I am. Words can not describe how sorry I am for making you suffer for three months.
Ziva: And two days. I don't hate you, Tony. I'm just ready to kill you one of eighteen ways with a paperclip.
Tony: I'm so sorry that-Wait you don't hate me?
Ziva: No. I don't hate you. I'm ready to kill you, but I don't hate you.
Tony: Okay then. I'm really sorry, Ziva. Is there anything I can do for you to forgive me?
Ziva: I'll never forgive you, but I know how you can make it better.
Tony: How? I'll do anything.
Ziva: I want you to NEVER throw yourself in front of a bullet for me again. I was so torn up while you were in the coma that I almost killed myself. The only reason I didn't was for the baby.
Tony: I'll do what you asked if you don't kill me or yourself. Deal?
Ziva: Deal.
Gibbs: Tony, Ziva?
Tony and Ziva: Yeah, boss.
Gibbs: Why was there a picture of you two on a non professional picnic before Ziva joined NCIS?
Ziva: Where did you find it?
Tony: Gibbs, did you find it at my apartment?
Gibbs: Yes. Why was it there?
Tony: You want me to tell him?
Ziva: No. I'll do it. The reason the picture is there is because Tony and I ran into each other at a conference, and we dated until he helped me get my job at NCIS, then we stopped dating because of your rules.
Gibbs: Really?
Ziva: Really.
Gibbs: Is that true, Tony?
Tony: Yes.
Gibbs: If I'd have known, you could have kept dating.
Tony: But boss, your rules-
Gibbs: Only apply to me personally.
Ziva: Tony, when do you leave the hospital?
Tony: Tomorrow.
Ziva: That's great I'll-
Gibbs: Expect you at work in two days.
(Gibbs exits)
Tony: I love you. You know that right, Ziva?
Ziva: I know.
Tony: Do you love me?
Ziva: I do, but only because I am carrying your child.
(Tony looks at Ziva's very serious face)
Tony: You're serious.
Ziva: What? Did you think I was joking?
Tony: No.
Ziva: Well I was.
Tony: Really?
Ziva: Yeah. I could never stop loving the father of my child.
Tony: I'll love you thru everything Ziva David. You know that right?
Ziva: Yes, I know that.
Tony: Then why were you being cruel?
Ziva: I wasn't being cruel I was trying to be funny.
Tony: Okay then. I love you.
Ziva: Love you too.
Tony: Really?
Ziva: Really.
(Ziva heads toward the door)
Tony: You leaving?
Ziva: Yeah. Why?
Tony: Can you come over here for a minute?
(Ziva comes over)
Ziva: Why?
Tony: So I can do this
(Tony kisses Ziva)
