Abby planned the baby shower for January 17.

To Ziva's displeasure it came faster than she wanted

Abby had kicked Tony and Ziva out of their apartment at 0700 hours so she could decorate. She had McGee come over to help her as well.

Gibbs, Jenny, Palmer, Ducky, and Cynthia arrived at 0900 hours.

Abby had covered basically every inch of the apartment in pink. There were at least 250 balloons throughout the apartment.

"Abs." Gibbs started. "Don't you think you're going a little overboard with the pink?"

"A little?" McGee whispered.

Abby punched McGee in his arm. "No. If anything I downsized upon Ziva's request."

Nobody questioned her afterward.

At noon, the guests started to arrive- mostly Tony's family.

Tony and Ziva were not expected to be back for another half hour or so. So, Abby went to put the final touches on the cake- which she also ordered it to be all pink.

Salvatore, Tony's seven year old cousin, stood at the window being look out. "They're here!" He shouted.


Downstairs, Tony and Ziva awaited the elevator.

"Do not kill Abby. No matter how bad it is."

"I will try not too. I will warn you though I can not control reflexes."

They entered the elevator, and Tony pressed the four. The elevator ascended and opened at the fourth floor. They walked to the left to their apartment.

"Here goes anything." Tony said and opened the door.

"Surprise!" They all shouted.

Ziva was distracted though by all the pink in their home.

"Ziva!" She heard both Elisabetta and Abby call out.

After Abby engulfed her in a hug, Ziva picked Elisabetta up.


Everyone sat around the living room.

Ziva and Tony sat on the couch opening gifts. When Abby said the next gift was from her they both were scared to find out what it was.

Ziva untied the ribbon and pulled back the plastic off the basket.

Ziva looked at Abby.

"Abby. Answer this honestly. Did you buy the whole girls' section?"

"No."

They stared at each other for awhile. Ziva reading her like a book.

"Okay. I almost did, but I didn't like ten of the outfits."


Next chapter's it! Baby DiNozzo will be born! Everybody who sent me names- they were all cute. I came up with a few as well. One name I actually became obsessed with, but of course that does not mean that name was chosen. :) Thanks for reading!
