Chapter 3

A month later…

Ziva and Tony had moved in together two weeks earlier and had agreed that today would be the day that Ziva would announce her pregnancy and their relationship to Gibbs. She was nervous, an abnormal trait for the Mossad agent. It wasn't that Ziva was afraid of Gibbs; she just didn't know how to tell him or how he would react to the news. She and Tony had discussed telling the Director and Gibbs at the same time, but had quickly decided that wasn't wise. Instead, Ziva would tell Gibbs, Abby would tell Tim the following week since they were close friends and Tony would tell the Director. Abby, Tony and Ziva had changed the order of people to inform; so Abby and Ziva had enlightened Ducky the week before. Because he was the medical expert, they had also requested that he help them confirm that Ziva was indeed pregnant. He had been only happy to oblige, of course; though he had noted something about the scan that he had kept to himself. Ziva, when her pregnancy had been confirmed, hadn't been sure whether to laugh or cry.

"Gibbs, I need to discuss something with you" Ziva announced quietly, later that particular Tuesday. He said nothing, gesturing for Ziva to follow him with his finger. Ziva smiled to herself as she obeyed. She knew where they were headed; the same place Gibbs took anyone wanting a private conversation – the elevator. Still without a word, Gibbs whacked the button with the side of his hand and stood back, tapping his foot impatiently. Finally, the elevator arrived and both promptly stepped in. Gibbs hit the stop switch and the elevator went dark. He leaned back against the corner, nodding at Ziva who took a deep breath
"Tony and I are dating" she began bluntly "We have been together 7 weeks and moved in together 2 weeks ago" Gibbs raised his eyebrows, a questioning gesture.
"We are now expecting a baby" Ziva continued, looking at Gibbs and waiting for his reaction. To her surprise, he smiled and said
"Good for you. That will give DiNozzo something to worry about!" he scoffed and Ziva caught on
"Commitment?" she giggled lightly
"Tony being a father is more what I'm worried about!" they both laughed at that. "How far along are we?" Gibbs asked, nodding towards her stomach where one hand protectively lay. "Six and a half weeks" Ziva replied, removing her hand to reveal a small bump
"Tony take it ok?" Gibbs continued, curious. Ziva shrugged
"He was surprised to start with but he soon figured it out" she replied, keeping her message cryptic and trying not to go into detail. Gibbs understood and nodded. To signal the end of the conversation, he flicked the switch again
"Desk duty for you then" he said with a smirk. Ziva glared at him, nodding as she sighed
"Yeah" she said as they walked out of the elevator and back to the bullpen. Ziva went over to her desk and sat down gently, unaware Tim was watching. Suspicious, Tim continued to watch Ziva, noticing one hand cradling her stomach protectively. He decided not to say anything to Ziva; instead he would wait until Abby came over the following week.

*

The following Saturday, Abby was nervous. She was going to Tim's for a night and she planned to admit her feelings for him. She spent the entire day at Ziva's, worrying over what she was going to wear. "Abby" Ziva said gently for about the 100th time

"Why are you worrying about what you are going to wear? This is Tim you're dressing for; he's not going to be too worried what you're wearing! He's one of your best friends!" Abby sighed, growing desperate.
"Yeah, I guess you're – " a loud knock at the door interrupted Abby. Ziva gave her friend an apologetic look and hurried to answer the door. When she opened it, she was surprised to see Gibbs standing there. Again, Gibbs was tapping his foot impatiently on the ground.
"Gibbs" Ziva smiled, happy to see him. "What brings you here on a Saturday? Come in, Abby's here. She'll be glad to see you."

She opened the door a little wider, turned and called
"Abby! Gibbs is visiting. Come and say hello" turning back to Gibbs, she grinned, adding "Abby has a date tonight" Abby came flying down the hallway a moment later; she loved seeing Gibbs, no matter what day it was.
"Gibbs!" she cried, enveloping him in a giant bear hug.
"Hey Abs" he replied, when she finally released him "How ya doing? I hear you have a date tonight" Abby blushed and nodded
"Yeah" she said, cheeks scarlet. Gibbs smiled at her, surprising both of them
"Good on you" he said, then turned to Ziva "I'll be off now" he announced, turning towards the door. Startled, both Abby and Ziva looked at him. He shrugged
"What? I'm going out for lunch in half an hour. And don't you need to get ready for your date, Abby?" he added with a fatherly smile. "Yeah" she sighed "Nice to see you though!" she added, pigtails bouncing.
"It was" Ziva agreed. Gibbs nodded shortly and strolled out the door.
"See you three on Monday" he said. Ziva smiled
"Bye Gibbs"
"See ya Gibbs!" Abby chirped.
