Chapter Two

First off, I want to thank you all for the review on the first chapter. I didn't think I was going to get that many in one day. Thank you all very very much (: I pretty much know what I'm going to do with this story, now all I have to do is finish it up and fine tune it.

Because you were all so nice, I'll reward you with a new chapter early. Enjoy!

DING.

Tony looked up from the report he was checking to see Ziva walking into the bullpen. He could tell that she had been up all night, and from the look of her blood shot eyes, crying also. "Hey Ziva, what's going on?" he asked, hoping to maybe talk to her.

"Nothing Tony, everything is fine." She desperately wanted to talk to him, but she knew that now was not the proper time. She didn't even know how to put what she was going to say into words. "Hey Tony, want to come over tonight? Oh, by the way, you're gonna be a dad." That didn't seem like it would work out too well.

For the next hour, they continued to work on paperwork from the last week. Gibbs had left a half hour after Ziva got there to get coffee, so it was only Ziva, Tony and McGee in the bullpen. Everything had passed without event, except for the occasional spit ball in McGee's direction, until suddenly Ziva got up and, with her hand over her mouth. Without thinking, Tony got up and followed her into the ladies room. Once inside, he saw her emptying her stomach into a toilet.

"It's okay Ziva, you're alright," he said to her as he held her hair back. Once she was done, he held onto her while she sat in his lap. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"It is nothing, I must have a bug or something," she replied. She hated it when he saw her this vulnerable.

"I know it's not just a bug. You've gotten sick almost every day this week. And don't think I didn't notice," he said, looking at her with concern in his eyes.

"I am fine. Stop worrying about me." Why couldn't he just leave her alone?

"You are not fine, and I'm going to keep worrying about you. Please, just tell me what's wrong." He desperately wanted to know what was wrong with her, and to help her feel better.

"Fine I will tell you. I wanted to wait, and tell you at a better time and place, but I guess now will have to do." She paused for a moment, then stuttered, "I'm…..I'm pregnant."

"Wh…what? You're what?" Tony was truly shocked. He could only remember one time they hadn't used something.

"I am pregnant Tony. I am carrying a child. Our child."

He thought for a moment before speaking again. "Are you absolutely sure? Like, I don't know, did you read the test wrong or something?"

"I took an at home test, but I have an appointment on Friday with the doctor to find out for certain and see how far along I am." She thought he seemed nervous, and she was hoping he could do this and that he wouldn't leave her.

"Oh my God. We're having a baby," He said happily, with a small smile tugging at his lips.

Ziva was shocked and confused. She thought he would be angry at her. "You are not mad or nervous?"

"Well, obviously I'm nervous as hell. I mean, I know we never talked about any of this happening, but honestly I'm extremely happy to be having a baby with you." If he was going to have a family with anyone, he wanted it to be with Ziva. Ever since he met her four years ago, he had been attracted to her. As time progressed, he fell head over heels in love with her. Of course, she didn't know that yet. He didn't want to tell her until he knew if she felt the same way about him, or if he was just another hook up to her.

"You're happy to have a baby with me?" She still didn't know if she could believe him or yet. She genuinely thought he was telling the truth, but she just wanted to be sure he wasn't just saying what she wanted to hear.

"I guess now's the time to tell her after all," he thought. "Ziva, I care about you so much. I think about you all the time, at work, at home, when I'm sleeping, heck everywhere I think of you. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met. I'd never want to start a family with anyone but you. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you."

There, he had finally said it. Now he was worried about how she was going to react to his confession.

Ziva was utterly stunned. She knew that he had feelings for her, but she never knew he felt this way. She had wanted him to say that all along, because deep down, even though she didn't want to admit it, she felt the same way. She didn't know what to say she was so shocked.

"Did I say something wrong?" He asked. She hadn't said anything yet and he was worried that he had scared her off.

"No, no, no. You said nothing wrong. I'm just a little surprised, that is all." She replied. "I never knew you felt that way about me." As she said this, she had a smile on her face.

"So, how do you feel about this?" He prayed she felt the same way.

"Honestly, I'm just glad you feel the same way I do."

"What are you saying to me Ziva?" If she was saying what he thought she was saying, he was going to be one happy man.

"What I'm trying to say is that I love you too Tony." And with that, his mouth was on hers. It was a sweet, gentle kiss full of emotion and love. They broke apart when the need for air became too much to ignore.

After they broke apart, Ziva spoke. "I am still nervous Tony. What if I'm a bad mother?

"We can do this Ziva. I know we can. You're going to be a great mother, and I'll be a great father. We're gonna to the best we can. Just know that I'm in this 'til the end now, and you're not gonna get rid of me. I will always be there for you and our baby." He was still high from the feeling of Ziva telling him she loved him.

"I know, and thank you for that. Would you like to accompany me to my doctor's appointment tomorrow? I have already requested the morning off, and I do not think it will be a problem for you"

He was blown away by the fact she would actually ask him to come to an appointment with her. Ziva, the private ninja who never showed emotion or told anyone anything about her private life, wanted him to go with her. He was on cloud nine. "I'd love to go with you. Unless a case comes up, there shouldn't be a problem." He thought for a moment, and then continued, "How are we going to tell Gibbs?"

She hadn't even thought about telling Gibbs about the pregnancy or her and Tony until he mentioned it. "I will have to tell him sooner or later about my pregnancy, and when he asks who the father is, we will tell him the truth. Maybe we can tell him after my appointment?"

"I guess that will work. He's gonna kill us, you know that right? I mean, we broke Rule Twelve. THE Rule Twelve." He was worried about what boss man would say. He didn't want her to get transferred to another team, or worse, sent back to Israel.

"He may, but he still owes me for saving his life and getting his memory back," she said with a smile. She had told him the truth about Ari one night while lying in bed. "We should get back to work, yes?"

"Yeah, or else Gibbs will kill us before we get the chance to tell him, then he'll be really pissed."

A/N: This chapter was a tad bit longer, I hope you like it. Writing for Ziva is a bit difficult, so I'm sorry if any of this seems OOC. And I'm trying to fit a Ziva idiom in next chapter (: Please review!
