Gibbs stood outside of Tony's hospital room still shocked by what he saw. 'I can not believe Ziva just acted so vulnerable and needing… and with Tony out of all people. And Tony he… he just gave the comfort and love that she was needing without hesitation… without cracking a joke' Gibbs thought as he slowly made his way back down the silent hallway into the waiting room where the rest of his team sat. While standing in the doorway of the waiting room Gibbs' stomach growled… '5:49pm' he saw as he glanced down at the watch on his wrist. 'I know everyone will be hungry when they wake up' Gibbs thought as Ducky began to move, waking up slowly.

"Duck" Gibbs called out as Ducky's eyes opened completely.

"Yes Jethro?"

"I need you to stay here with McGee and Abby as me and Jenny go get food" Jethro told him.

"Why of course… where is Ziva?"

"With Tony Duck, don't let anyone go in there, and I mean anyone ok?"

"Yes, yes" Ducky promised.

Gibbs walked over to Jenny to wake her. He gently laid his hand on her shoulder and shook it.

"Mmm…mm" Jenny murmured as she slowly became aware.

"Hey Jen, Come on we're going to go get food for everyone"

"Ok, just let me get awake first" Jenny said to Gibbs.

"Fine" Gibbs consented.

When Jenny was finally 'awake' she and Gibbs headed off to get some supper for everyone.

In the car

Jenny sat in the passenger's seat not taking in her surroundings as Gibbs drove like a crazy mad man to get to the restaurant where they were ordering from. There was no sound in the car at all… no radio… no talking, and it was getting to Jenny.

"Are you gonna talk to me at all Jethro?" Jenny questioned with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"What do you want to talk about Jen?" Gibbs said.

"I don't know, I don't care, just as long as we talk about something. It's too quiet in here."

"Well Jen, how about the clothes you slept in last night" Gibbs said knowing she wouldn't want to talk about it.

"Uh… what do you want to know about it?" Jen asked Jethro surprising them both with the fact that she actually answered him.

"… What do you want to tell me about it?" Gibbs asks answering her question as a question.

"Well… it was your shirt obviously."

"Yeah, how did you get it?"

"…" Jenny looked down as a blush spread across her cheeks " It's um… it's um from Paris, Jethro you know that."

"I know I just wanted you to tell me" Gibbs told her with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Uh… were here Jethro"

"I know"

Gibbs and Jenny stepped out of the car and made their way into the restaurant, their hands brushing as they walked sending chills down their bodies. Gibb walked up to the counter and ordered the food as Jenny made the drinks. After piling everything in the backseat of the car, Jenny and Gibbs left once again, on their way back to the hospital. This time though there was no talking in the car, neither knew how to get the conversation started again without it being awkward, so Gibbs turned on the radio and let it play softly in the background. Arriving at the hospital around 14 minutes later, Gibbs grabbed the food and carried it in and Jenny grabbed the trays of food and carried them in after Gibbs.

Back at the hospital

When they arrived in the waiting room they found that everyone was awake and alert. Gibbs having ordered for everyone already knowing what they would want when he asked.

"Alright everyone" Gibbs said catching their attention " I have food, come and get what is yours, I ordered what u would have ordered"

"Yes Gibbs" everyone echoed simultaneously.

"I am going to give Tony and Ziva theirs" Gibbs announced as he exited the room with Tony and Ziva's food in his hands.

When Gibbs reached the outside of Tony's room he stopped to look and see if he was going to interrupt anything, Seeing as that they weren't talking or anything he walked in Tony and Ziva still laying in the bed; Tony was awake and gently stroking Ziva's hair as she slept. Tony immediately raised his head from Ziva's when he heard a sound in the room. Tony saw Gibbs standing at the foot of the bed. 'Oh no he's saw us, wonder what he is gonna say?'

"Boss um…" Tony started when Gibbs didn't say anything, but trailed off when he saw the expression on Gibbs face.

It was one of pure admiration and shock. Noticing the look on DiNozzo's face Gibbs smirked.

"I brought ya'll some food; we got it from the restaurant that is close to headquarters, I ordered what ya'll order when we go."

"Okay thanks boss" Tony replied now in a hushed whisper remembering that Ziva was asleep beside him.

Gibbs noticed the change in Tony's voice and his original thought came back 'Here Tony is lying with Ziva in his arms and is not boasting about it at all'.

"I'm going to eat with everyone out in the waiting room, I'll be back in 45 minutes, so unless you want everyone to know about Ziva then I suggest you two wake up and eat"

"Yes Gibbs"

Gibbs exited the room with a small smirk on his face.

As soon as Gibbs left the room Tony turned to Ziva and started to wake her up easily.

"Zi… come on Zi, wake up " Tony coaxed quietly.

"Mmm….mmm" Ziva mumbled at the sound of Tony's voice.

"Come on wake up, we gotta eat"

"Okay"

Ziva rose from her position on Tony's chest reluctantly and sat up so she could eat. Tony climbed out of bed, still using his injured arm as little as possible, and Ziva noticed this.

"Oh I am sorry Tony, I should be doing this it is you that is hurt" Ziva rambled when she noticed the use of his arm was being limited.

"No. No Ziva its okay I promise, you just stay there I got this okay.?"

"Okay Tony" Ziva relented after a few minutes.

"Good, now let's eat" Tony commanded in a jokingly way.

Tony and Ziva sat in the middle of Tony's hospital bed and ate what Gibbs had ordered them. Tony ate rather slowly considering that he only had one hand to use. Ziva ate slowly as she remembered that Tony only had one and didn't want him to feel bad because of it. They ate in silence; the usual comfortable silence that enveloped them.

"Let me clean up since you have done everything else" Ziva told Tony as he went to clean up the plates.

"Okay, just take it easy" Tony instructed her.

"You know I will, and remember Tony that no one out there besides Gibbs knows about me being pregnant, so you are gonna have to act like nothing is the matter with me ok.?"

"Yes fine" Tony said, no happiness in his voice at all.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Ziva asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice as she came back over to sit beside him on the bed.

"No Ziva" Tony said as he took her hand "Nothing is wrong, I just don't like not being able to ask you if anything is wrong when they are around, but most of all is that I can't physically comfort you by holding your hand or giving you a hug or anything like that" Tony admitted.

"We will be alone soon enough Tony" Ziva said, her heartbeat still up as she took in Tony's words.

'He actually wants to take care of me, he loves me, maybe not romantically but he does love me' Ziva thought as a small crossed her face.

She leaned over and gave Tony one of the biggest hugs he had ever received from her. Sometime during the hug Tony had snaked his hand around her to let it rest on her stomach. The gesture surprised her, and made her want to cry, but she covered the reaction up as she put her hand on top of his and smiled. 'He remembers that there is a baby in there that is not even his, and yet he had cared for me as if it was' Ziva thought as she pulled back from his embrace.

"They will be here soon" Ziva answered in his question as to why she had pulled away.

"Yeah you're right" Tony said as he readjusted himself so that they weren't touching, but were close enough to touch if necessary.

Not even 10 minutes later Gibbs, Jenny, McGee, Abby, and Ducky all came trotting in with tremendous smiles on their faces. Tony smiled his 'famous' smile at everyone and resisted the urge to hold Ziva's hand, just to have some kind of connection with her. Ziva smiled lightly at everyone wishing that she and tony could just have laid back down and went to sleep again. 'Pregnancy has been doing crazy things to me' Ziva thought as Abby started to ramble on and on about how glad she was that Tony would be okay. Noticing the faraway look in Ziva's eyes Tony cleared his throat knowing that it would make her break out of it. Ziva did break out of the daze and smiled gently while looking straight ahead, only Tony would have known the real reason she was smiling. Abby saw Ziva smile and continued to ramble on thinking that it was because of her.

Hours later when every topic that could have ever been thought of had been discussed, Ziva finally let the fatigue show on her face and in her eyes. Gibbs who had been watching her on and off noticed this and tried to help her out.

"Come on everybody, it's been a long day and everyone has got to go get back to work tomorrow" Gibbs commanded.

"Yes Gibbs" echoed a chorus of responses.

Everyone said their goodbyes, especially Abby's goodbye, and then left. No one thinking anything about leaving Ziva in Tony's room since their partnerships were still in effect. After leaving Tony's room everyone divided into their own pairs, except Ducky who had left Palmer at NCIS early that day. Gibbs noticing that Ducky didn't have anybody offered to drop him off at home on his and Jenny's way to her house. Ducky agreed and thanked them.

Abby and McGee

Abby and McGee rode back to Abby's apartment as they had the other night and completed the same routine. Abby would go get dressed in her bedroom and McGee would change his clothes in the living room preferably before Abby came back out. When Abby had finished changing she would come out of her bedroom and tell McGee to come to bed. McGee would follow soundlessly into Abby's bedroom and wait beside the light switch until she was in bed, then he would turn off the light and climb into bed behind her. Then they would fall asleep quickly in each other's arms.

Jenny and Gibbs

Jenny and Gibbs dropped Ducky off at his house, and then headed to Jenny's apartment. The car ride over there was quiet just like the one earlier had been. When they arrived both Jenny and Gibbs exited the car eager to get in a bed and go to sleep. Jenny entered the house first and went straight to her bedroom to change into her nightclothes, not expecting Gibbs to follow but was happy to find that he did.

"Make yourself at home why don't you Jethro" Jenny said sarcastically as they stepped into her room.

"I will" Gibbs replied.

"I am going to change, be right back" Jenny told Gibbs as she went into her bathroom.

While Jenny was changing Gibbs did some of his own. He stripped of his shirt, shoes and soaks leaving his pants on. When he was finished he sat on the side of the bed he had slept on the night before and waited on Jenny. Exiting the bathroom in clothes similar to what she wore last night; a t-shirt and underwear, the t-shirt tonight was also a shirt Gibbs had once owned when they were in Paris. Gibbs smirked as Jenny blushed as she was climbing in bed.

"Turn out the light"

"Yes Jen"

Gibbs came back and lay down behind Jenny, the two taking up the same position that they had last night before drifting off to sleep.

Tony and Ziva

Glad that everyone was gone; Ziva wasted no time by curling up again in Tony's hospital bed. Tony smiled at that this as he too wasted no time in pulling the curtains shut to give them privacy and turning off the lights, before also crawling into bed. Tony faced Ziva tonight instead of being behind her. Pulling her closer than normal, Tony wrapped his arms around her tightly and nestled his head in her hair. Ziva shocked by this but not complaining wrapped her arms around Tony as tight as she could and nestled her face in his chest. After a few minutes of relishing in the fact that they could now hold each other without complaint before Ziva spoke.

"Thank you Tony"

"What for Ziva?" Tony asked, his voice groggy from the sleep waiting to take over.

"For remembering that I am pregnant" she waited a few minutes before continuing "For not asking who the baby's father is, for taking care of me and my baby."

"Ziva you know you don't have to thank me" Tony said.

"I know but I just wanted to" Ziva told him in a small voice.

"Ok, let's go to sleep now my crazy ninja chick" Tony said using the nickname he gave her as he gently kissed her forehead.

"Good night Tony"

"Good night Zi"

Tony said as Ziva snuggled in to his embrace more if that was once again even possible. Tony holding her close, Ziva drifted off to sleep once again in a loving embrace. Tony went to sleep as soon as he saw that she was asleep and okay. Neither worrying or caring about tomorrow as they slept peacefully wrapped in each other's arms.
