Ziva looked down nervously. A grin grew on her face as she saw the pink plus sign. She had stopped at the drugstore on her way home from work, knowing that she had an hour until Tony got home. She stood there staring at the pregnancy test trying to get around her brain what it said. Suddenly she heard the door open. Tony was home. She set the test down and ran out of the bathroom.
She saw Tony walk in. He was tired and probably just wanted to go to bed but she had to tell him.
"Tony." She said with a grin on her face.
"Yea Zi? What is it?" He said groggily as he set his bag down. Ziva walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Tony, you're going to be a father!" She said excitedly. He stood in shock. Not moving a muscle. Ziva's face dropped and she ran out the door. She got and her car and started driving. Where? She didn't know.
Tony stood there in the same position for about 10 minutes. I'm going to be a father Ran through his head over and over again. Slowly as it set it a smile grew on his face. Then he realized that Ziva had gone God knows where thinking he was upset. He cursed under his breath. He grabbed his keys and ran out the door.
Ziva ended up at Gibbs house. Knowing that it was unlocked she let herself in. She walked downstairs, tears streaming down her face. Gibbs looked up when he heard footsteps. He saw her and raced over to her. He embraced her in a hug then lead her the rest of the way down the stairs.
"What did DiNozzo do to you?" He said angrily.
She sniffed as she sat down on a stool. "I told him…..something, and he didn't react the way I had hoped."
"Do you want to tell what this something was?"
"Um…" She stuttered.
"Ziver." He said in a comforting but warning tone.
She looked up at him. "I'm…I'm pregnant." She said then looked down in shame.
"Ziver! I 'm so happy for you!" He hugged her again.
"Thank you Gibbs. I just wish Tony shared the same enthusiasm."
"Have you guys talked about this before?"
"Yes…" She said slowly.
"And?"
"He said he wanted kids. That he looked forward to getting a chance to be the father his never was." She said chuckling.
"Then, I'm sure he is just as excited as you are. You are excited aren't you?"
"Yes, Gibbs, I am, very." She said with a smile.
"Then that's all that matters. Now, Why don't you go lie down over there on that cot."
Ziva looked at him oddly. "You have a cot in your basement?" Gibbs nodded towards the cot and Ziva walked over and lay down.
Tony drove around for a while before realizing where she was. "Gibbs!" He kicked himself for not thinking of it sooner. He stepped on the gas and headed towards his house. When he arrived, he let himself in and headed down to the basement. Gibbs smiled when he heard Tony enter.
"What seems to be the problem DiNozzo?" He said putting on a serious face. Ziva's head shot up but she stayed in the background. Tony sat down on the steps and sighed.
"I screwed up Boss." He said resting his head in his hands.
"What did you do?" He said, playing dumb.
"Ziva…told me something. And I was so shocked I didn't act the way I should have."
"Would you like to elaborate?" He asked not for himself but for Ziva.
"I…um…" He stuttered. "Ziva's pregnant, boss." He said looking up at Gibbs.
Ziva braced herself for what she was about to hear. She could picture Tony saying he screwed up, that he didn't want a baby, didn't want her. She held back a sob. Gibbs glared at Tony and he continued.
"Well, we've talked about it before and both of us want kids. And when I came home from work she told me. But…" He took a deep breath. "I was tired and that's NOT what I expected to hear." He chuckled. "Anyway, I was shocked. I didn't say anything and she ran out."
"Well? How do you feel?" He asked, again for Ziva, not him.
"I'm ecstatic boss! I want a kid so bad! I just wish I could tell Zi that but I have no idea where she is…"
"You just did." Ziva said as she walked out from behind the boat. Tony smiled and Ziva ran into his arms. He embraced her and she cried softly into his shoulder.
"I love you, Zi, so much. And I am so happy that you are having our child." He said as he kissed her forehead. She looked into his eyes, then leaned up and kissed him passionately. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed back. Suddenly Tony felt a familiar sting on the back of his head.
"Hey what was that for?" He said rubbing the back of his head.
"Putting my best agent on leave!" He said, but Tony and Ziva say the mischievous look in his eyes.
"Your best agent? What about me?" He asked in a mock hurt tone.
"You're both equal." He said. "Now, you two go home. And Ziva?"
"Yes Gibbs?"
"Go to the doctor, ok?"
"I will Gibbs." She said with a smile. Gibbs kissed her on the forehead then the two went upstairs and headed home.
