Chapter 2- Everything's out.
Tony sat in his car looking at the entrance to the building. So much was going through his head at that moment. It had been a month since his disappearing act. The only person he told he was going away was Jen even then he didn't say where he was going he would be surprised if Gibbs ordered McGee to trace where the call came from. Most of all he hadn't had any form of contact with Ziva; he was kicking himself most about this. Five years it had taken him to build up the courage to ask her out and he blow it.
"Do you want to come in with me?" Tony asked the female sitting in the passenger seat.
"Can I stay in the car please?" She said quietly.
"Sure. I shouldn't be more than half an hour, Ok?" She nodded and went back to playing a game on her IPod.
Tony took the elevator alone to the bull pen. Part of him hoped the team would be out in the field. He really didn't want to deal with Gibbs but he so badly wanted to see Ziva. Stepping out of the elevator he breathed a sigh of relief noticing the bull pen was empty. He didn't stop at his deck, he headed straight to the Directors office.
"Is Director Shepard in Cynthia?" He asked
"Yes. Just let me check and see if she can see you." Cynthia pressed the intercom button. "Director, Agent DiNozzo would like to see you."
"Send him in Cynthia." Jen replied and she wasn't happy.
DiNozzo hesitated before he opened the door to her office. Jen was sitting at her deck. She was giving him the 'Gibbs stare'. 'It is not going to be good' he thought to himself. He pulled over one of the chairs from the conference room and sat in front of her.
They sat in silence for a moment before Jen spoke, "You have a lot of explaining DiNozzo."
"I know I do but first I need to break rule #6. I really am sorry and I know that I am going to regret a lot of my actions for an extremely long time but I have good reasons for all my actions."

Tony had been in Jen's office for twenty minutes. She wasn't pleased with his action but after explaining where he went and why, she understood. Tony asked Jen if she didn't tell Gibbs. He wanted to do it himself. Jen agreed but told him he had to do it before he came back to work at the start of next week. Meaning he had four days in which to do so.
The team were in the bull pen when he left Jen's office. He hoped that if he walked quick enough either of them would notice him.
"DiNozzo!" Gibbs barked, "Where the hell have you been?"
"New York, Boss."
"Are you going to tell us why?"
"Not the now Boss. I need to be somewhere but I will explain everything tomorrow, I promise." Tony just kept walking to the elevator whist he spoke.
"Not good enough DiNozzo. I want answers now!" Gibbs banged his hand down on his desk.
"I'm sorry Boss." He managed to see as the elevator doors closed.
"Ziver once you're finished with what you're doing, I want you to go he see him. He looks like hell." Gibbs left the bull pen heading down to see Abby.

It was ten o'clock in the evening before she built up the courage to talk to Tony. She was really pissed at him because he would answer any of her calls and emails. She needed to talk to him about the pregnancy. She had cried so much thinking she would end up being a signal mother but Jen and Gibbs both reassured her that would never happen. Even if Tony didn't come back she would always have them and the rest of the team.
Tony was lying in bed when he heard someone knocking at his door. "Ziva!" He was pretty shocked to see her but he had a gut feeling Gibbs sent her. "Come in."
"I didn't disturb you, did I?" Ziva asked in a concerned manner.
"No, sat. Do you want a drink?"
"No but I need to talk to you." The two of them sat down on the sofa sitting sideway so they could see the others face whilst they talked.
"Ok."
"First Tony you look as if you haven't slept for weeks."
"That's because I haven't. I'm hoping to catch up on sleep over the next few days. I miss it so much."
"I wouldn't get used to it if I were you."
"Why?"
"Tony, I'm…I'm pregnant."
Tony looked as if his eyes were about to pop out, "You're pregnant?"
"Yes, Tony."
"I'm going to be a dad. It is mine, yes?"
"Yes Tony." She wanted to slap him for even asking but he looked so fragile she couldn't bring herself to do it. "You did you go to New York? Is your father ok?"
"Yeah, he's fine. Come with me." Tony stood up and held out his hand for Ziva to take. Ziva took his hand he led her to his spare bedroom.
Tony carefully opened the door. It was dark inside the room. Ziva could make out lumps on the bed. One was under the coves, the other was furry and lying on top of the cover at the bottom of the bed.
"Her name is Charlie and the dog is called Pippa. Charlie is smart, bright, and full of energy and smiles all the times. Apart from you, she has the biggest, most beautiful brown eyes I have ever seen. She got sandy brown hair….." Tony looked at Ziva and she was smiling at him. "What you smiling at?"
"You. Tony, why is Charlie sleeping in our spear room?"
"Charlie is my daughter."
"What!" She said a bit too loud.
"Shhh! Please." Tony led Ziva back out of the room closing the door behind him. He so glad Charlie hadn't woken up. Tony took Ziva back into the living room. Tony took a deep breath in at told Ziva everything, "Charlie was in a car crash. A speeding van driver went straight into the side of the car. Her mother, Lauren, died at the scene. Lauren was a journalist for the New York Times sports section. When I got the call, I headed straight for New York. I called Jen but then turned off me phone by accident. I was so worried about Charlie that I didn't even realise I had turned it off. Charlie has a broken right arm and some cuts and bruises apart from that she's fine physical. Since she woke up in hospital after the crash she keeps having night mares about the crash so hasn't been sleeping. She fell asleep about 6 o'clock, it's actually the longest she's been asleep. I'm hoping she'll sleep all night."
"Why didn't you ever tell me about her?"
"Lauren and I were really good friends. We lived next door growing up. When Lauren was seventeen she got breast cancer. During the holidays I would sit with her in the hospital. She had to get a mastectomy when she was eighteen. She struggled to have long term relationships because of the surgery. Growing up she always wanted to have a baby. Eight years ago, she told me she was going to have a baby from a sperm donor. She decided that she could have some randoms baby so she asked me. She knew I had donated sperm during college that was one of her reasons for asking me. I wasn't sure at first but I agreed. When said we would tell anyone who Charlie's biological father is but we did tell Charlie. Charlie has known for the past 3 years so since she was four years old. I see Charlie now and then but we talk a lot on the phone since we don't get to see each other as much as we want. In Lauren's will she left Charlie in my care which Lauren's father wasn't pleased about but her mother she was happy, she had always hopped Lauren and I would get together but we only stayed good friends. The reason it's taken so long for me to get back here is because we had to sell their apartment and selling the thing we didn't need. I'm sorry, I really I'm. I know I should have called. I've missed you so much."
"It's ok Tony, I understand."
"You're not mad?"
"No. Charlie is your daughter and you wanted to get to her as soon as you could." Ziva held Tony's hands in hers. "It actually gives me more faith in you to be a good father to our baby."
"Who knows your pregnant"
"Jen and Gibbs are the only ones who know."
"Gibbs is going to kill me."
"Maybe give you head slaps every day. He's not happy we broke rule #12 but once you tell him why you went way he'll understand."
"Ziva, can I ask about us?" He was a bit way about asking.
"I want you to be in our baby's life as much as possible but us, I don't know. You have Charlie to think about as well. We could take it slow like when we first started dating but I also want Charlie to be ok with it as well."
"Ok. I will do anything. Doctors' appointments, massages, buy anything you want when you have cravings and at any time."
"Let me show you something." Ziva looked around her bag and pulled out a sonogram picture. She gave the picture. "That is our baby." she pointed to their baby. To Tony it looked like a peanut but didn't say anything. As Tony continued to look and the sonogram his smiles grew. "I'm 10 weeks pregnant. My due date is June 4th."
"10 weeks so they mean it was the weekend Gibbs let us have off after the serial killer case. That was one…" Ziva held her left hand over his mouth knowing what he was going to say.
"Yes that's we our baby was conceived." She smiled him thinking about that weekend. "I should be going it's getting late and you need to get some sleep."
Tony nodded and the yawned. He walked her to the door. Before she left she turned to him, "Are you coming in the office tomorrow like you said."
"Yeah. I want Charlie to get to know everyone and I have to talk to Gibbs."
Tony handed her the sonogram back, "You keep it." She kissed him on the cheek and left.
Once Ziva left Tony went to his bedroom. He placed the sonogram on his bed side table then got into bed. Tony fell asleep the minute his head hit his pillow.
