HERE'S ANOTHER CHAPTER, PLEASE REVIEW J
OOPS, I FORGOT THIS LAST TIME, I DON'T OWN IT.
Tony was sleeping, his hair sticking up haphazardly in every direction. Ziva was snoring, as usual. She felt a painful squeeze in her stomach for the 12th time that hour. She noticed it happened around the same time. She got up and went to the kitchen to time them. Every 6 minutes. She thought. Not that painful, though I'm not a good judge of pain. She padded over to their bed, and pressed on Tony's rib. It wouldn't hurt that bad, but it would wake him up fast.
"Ow!" He yelped.
"Shh, you'll wake up the neighbors." Ziva scolded.
"What is it?" Tony said grumpily as he rubbed his chest.
"I am having contractions. They are 6 minutes apart." Ziva stated.
"How bad?" Tony asked, now alert.
"Barely noticeable." Ziva said.
"To a normal person, sweet cheeks." Tony said.
"I do not know, Tony!" Ziva snapped.
"Ok, well I think we should get you guys checked out." Tony declared, getting out of bed.
"Tony, we are fine." Ziva said. Still, she got dressed. Since Ziva drove, it took about 2 minutes to get to Bethesda. As they sat in the waiting room, they were shocked to see Gibbs already sitting their.
"Gibbs?" Ziva asked.
"What took you so long?" Gibbs said.
"She drove, Boss, so I don't know." Tony said.
"How-why are you here?" Ziva asked, still stunned.
"My gut said." Gibbs said bluntly.
"So I am having the baby." Ziva said. For the first time, Tony saw a flicker of fear across her face.
"Abby's coming. Actually, everyone is." Gibbs said.
"Hey, Z, it's gonna be ok." Tony said.
"I know that, Tony." Ziva said, mad at herself for that moment of weakness.
"Ziva! Ziva's Baby! Oh my god, oh my god, are you guys ok?" Abby asked, remembering as she was mere inches from Ziva that she couldn't run Ziva over until she had her baby.
"What about Ziva's baby's father?" Tony asked, mocking being left out.
"Tony." Abby said, acknowledging him.
"They're fine, Abbs." Gibbs said.
"Ziva David." A nurse said. Ziva, Gibbs, Tony, and Abby followed her.
"Ok, so you say you're having contractions?" The nurse asked, whose nametag read LILY.
"Yes. For about an hour now." Ziva said.
"Ok. How severe?" Lily asked. Tony scoffed,
"She couldn't even tell you if she wanted."
"What he's saying is that it wouldn't be accurate. I have a higher…. Pain threshold than most people." Ziva explained, struggling to explain it.
"Okay, that's fine. It just helps us tell when you'll deliver." Lily said.
"Let's get you ready for an ultrasound." The doctor said, walking right by Lily. Lily walked away, looking slightly upset.
"Ziva!" McGee said, rushing in.
"Dad and Mother only." The doctor said.
"Tony, we need to call my Dad." Ziva said.
"Z, do you really want him here?" Tony asked.
"Yes. Give me your cell." Ziva demanded, her hand waiting.
"Fine." Tony said, handing it over.
"Hello?" Eli asked.
"Hello, Father. I need you to come right away." Ziva said. Clearly, she wanted Tony to hear the conversation, otherwise she would've spoken in Hebrew.
"What is it? I am busy." Eli said, getting slightly agitated.
"Father, I am having a baby." Ziva stated, her voice getting cold and devoid of all emotion again. Tony mentally cursed. For some reason, Eli David always managed to screw up their day.
"How did that happen?"
"Have you forgotten that I am married?" Ziva asked, some anger showing through. How could her own father forget all of this?
"I'm sorry, Ziva, I've just been very busy. No, I remember. I'll see what I can do." Eli said, then hung up. Angrily, Ziva thrust the phone back at Tony. After Ziva was all checked out, she was brought to a delivery room. Gibbs, Abby, and McGee were allowed. After Palmer had found their way to her room, they came in.
"How are you feeling, my dear?" Ducky asked.
"Good." Ziva replied.
"How much longer?" McGee asked.
"About 8 hours." Ziva replied.
"Fun. How bad is it now?" McGee inquired.
"Not bad." Ziva said.
"Better not get bad." Tony said, looking up from his Tetris game momentarily.
"Tony, it will not get bad." Ziva said.
"Oh, Ziver. You just wait and see." Gibbs said. Tony went pale.
"Gibbs, I will be fine." Ziva said.
"Yeah, but Dinozzo'll be lucky if he survives in a few hours from now." Gibbs said.
A FEW HOURS LATER….
The doctor walked in, and checked Ziva's IV, and replaced her bag, then checked her dilation. He measured her contractions.
"Okay, they're at 6 now. If you would like some epidural, you may have some." The doctor said.
"What's your name?" Tony asked.
"Dr. Richard Zeger." Dr. Zeger said.
"No, I don't want any epidural." Ziva said. The contractions were at a 6/10 of how bad they would get, and were every 2 minutes.
"It won't harm you or your baby." Dr. Zeger said.
"Trust me, it's not that." Tony said.
"Ok, then. If you want it, call the nurses." With that, Dr. Zeger walked out.
"Z, you can get it, if you want. You will always be our ninja." Tony said.
"I know that, Tony. I don't want it." Ziva said.
ANOTHER FEW HOURS…..
Ziva bit back a moan. On a "normal person scale", the contractions were an 8 at the moment. They were 45 seconds apart. A nurse checked her over, and said,
"Okay, Ziva! I'd say in about 30-60 minutes we'll start having your baby!"
"I can leave when that happens, right?" Palmer asked, suddenly white.
"Yes, Jimmy." Ziva laughed. It was cut short when another contraction gripped her.
"Would you like some epidural?" The nurse asked.
"No!" Ziva snapped. Just then, Dr. Zeger walked in.
"I'm surprised your water hasn't broken yet." Dr. Zeger said as he examined that area, it broke. He came up, his face drenched with water. His face reddened in anger, and stormed out.
"Whoo, you could almost see the smoke coming out of his ears." Tony joked.
"What?" Ziva asked, confused.
"Never mind." Tony said.
HALF AN HOUR LATER…
"Ok, Ziva, you're going to push!" A new doctor said. As she did, Ziva bit back a scream. Abby and Palmer were in the hall. Tony was on Ziva's left side, Ducky by the doctor, and Gibbs on Ziva's right.
"One more!" The doctor said. A screaming baby was wheeled away.
"You did a great job, Ziver." Gibbs whispered in her ear. Then he kissed her head. He went into the hall to tell Abby to she could come in, who was practically boring a whole into the door.
"Great job, my dear, great job." Ducky said, following Gibbs. Tony squeezed Ziva's hand.
"Thank you for not breaking my hand. You know you could've held it, right?" Tony said.
"I know. I just did not find it necessary." Ziva said. The rest of the team came in. They had been sitting in a comfortable silence when Lily came in, holding a football-sized bundle swaddled in pink. Abby squealed, Tony's mouth fell open, Ducky cooed, and Ziva gasped.
"She's beautiful." Ziva said.
"Yes." Tony said, at a loss for words. Just then, Eli David bustled in.
