Gibbs saw the argument as he went to step out of the elevator, and held the doors open for Ziva. Ziva stepped inside the metal box and looked at Gibbs, who embraced her in his arms and held her close as the elevator descended. Ziva sobbed with her unborn baby in between them as Gibbs held her. Not a word was spoken between them, as they spoke through their movements instead. Gibbs loved her and he hated seeing her in such a state, and pregnant by another man. Although he did have to agree that the pregnancy had positive effects on her and gave her a beautiful glow.
They stepped off of the elevator together and Gibbs linked his hand with hers, guiding her to his car, and he drove them back to his. It was somewhere safe and somewhere close. She rested her hand over her stomach as she watched out of the window as he drove. He kept a close eye on her while he drove and pulled into his driveway.
Jethro got out of the car and went around to the other side of the car and opened the car door for Ziva. Ziva smiled at him as she got out and took hold of his hand and leant into his body once more, so he hugged her close.
Leroy gave up with the idea of them both walking into the house, and lifted her up into his arms 'bridal style' and carried her over the threshold into the house, making Ziva giggle.
Gibbs chuckled and shut the door with a single kick as he entered the house, and moved into the sitting room and lay Ziva carefully on the sofa, leaning over her still he asked, "What is so funny?"
Ziva kept giggling, "You" she said between her laughter
Gibbs raised an eyebrow at him, "Oh really? And why is that?" he asked and tickled her sides
Ziva squirmed and laughed ecstatically, screeching slightly, "Cause....cause you carried me"
Jethro smiled, seeing her happy made him happy, "Oh really, and why is that funny?"
Ziva smiled, still laughing, "Because you carry me as though we are married"
Gibbs smiled, he wished that was the case, he wished he was with her, he loved her so unconditionally, "Like you would marry me to begin with" he said jokingly, although inside he knew it was the case.
Ziva looked at him and cupped his cheek, "I would" she said softly, "Any woman would be extremely lucky to have you"
Gibbs smiled, "Not sure the ex-wives would agree"
Ziva shrugged, "They are idiots for letting you go"
Jethro smiled, "You really think so?"
Ziva nodded, "I know so" she said softly, and before they knew it there lips were pressed together
Gibbs pulled back quickly, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that" he said quickly even though he wasn't the one to start the kiss, he had joined in, rather passionately with his hands protectively covering her stomach........
