A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. I love them and would love some more. Enjoy.

LINE BREAK

Ziva was acting funny again and McGee had a feeling he knew why. He tried to give her space, but must have given her too much. Because here she was cornering him in the elevator.

"Something to tell me dear?" he asked cheekily.

Ziva smiled.

"6 weeks." she said in response.

He grinned back happily and kissed her so soundly that when they exited the elevator, Damon and Tony made a show of gagging.

"I am pregnant you idiots." Ziva snapped.

"I'm sure you are." Tony said waggling his eyebrows.

"After whatever happened in there, hell yeah." Damon laughed.

McGee stepped aside to let his wife smack his "brother's" around.

"Stop hitting the morons Ziver, we have a case." Gibbs said, rounding the corner, managing to head slap both guys and pause to kiss Ziva's cheek, "Congratulations."

Ziva smiled. She hadn't told Gibbs yet, but Gibbs knew everything.

LINE BREAK

Ten year old Chelsea stared at the ceiling of her room, Amy doing the same beside her.

"I heard mommy say that she and your Uncle Jimmy have been together almost a year." Amy said.

"Uncle Jimmy is a good guy." Chelsea said.

"Do you think he could be my daddy?" Amy asked, rolling to her side.

"Has he asked your mom to marry him?" Chelsea also turned to face her best friend.

"Not yet. I wish he would."

Amy's dad had stopped coming around completely, saying he had to focus on his new family and new, plural, children.

"Thanks for being my best friend." Amy said.

"Hey! What about me?" Mac said, joining them on the floor.

Chelsea clapped a hand over Amy's mouth. They were all best friends, but Mac and Amy had one of those love-hate relationships.

"And you of course Mac." Chelsea said in lieu of one of Amy's insults.

Amy grumbled under her breath when Chelsea released her, but didn't say anything to Mac.

"We're talking about Amy's mom and my Uncle Jimmy." Chelsea caught him up.

"Ew." Mac said.

Chelsea thumped him on his arm.

"Ow!"

"We are hoping that he asks my mom to marry him." Amy supplied dreamily.

"Again, ew." Mac said, obviously not learning his lesson, he was it by Amy this time.

"Ow!" he glared at the red-head.

"You don't have a romantic bone in your body Mackenzie Knight!" Amy cried.

"Romance is for sissy's. And don't call me Mackenzie." he said.

"OW!" he cried as both his arms were punched.

"Boys." the girls lamented unanimously.

LINE BREAK

Chelsea and five year old Tali sat impatiently in front of their parents.

"Girls, your father and I have some news." Ziva said, hand on her abdomen.

"What?" Tali asked.

This situation seemed familiar to Chelsea.

"We are going to have another baby!" McGee said excitedly.

Ah, that's why it seemed familiar.

"Really?" Tali asked interestingly.

Ziva smiled.

"Yes Ahuvi. You are going to be a big sister."

Tali smiled nervously at the title.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Chelsea asked wearily.

"We don't know yet." McGee answered, noticing his oldest's lack of enthusiasm.

"What's wrong 'Sea?" the ever observant Tali asked.

"Yes, what is it Tetelah?" Ziva asked, concerned.

"No sleep." Chelsea muttered, shaking her head, "No sleep for months."

McGee and Ziva laughed.

"That could be true. Or this baby could be a lot quieter than Miss Tali over here."

"Hey!" Tali pouted, crossing her arms and looking just like her mother.

Chelsea just sighed and turned to her sister.

"Better sleep now T." she advised.

The family laughed.

LINE BREAK

Due to work and the girls, McGee and Ziva were unable to find out the sex of the baby until her 20th week.

"Ready?" the doctor asked.

"Ready." Ziva said firmly.

The doctor moved the wand around for a few moments.

"You are not breathing Tim." Ziva said humorously.

Tim let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding in.

"Well it looks like Mr. and Mrs. McGee, a… boy."

"Yes!" McGee yelled.

He loved his girls with all his heart, but he had been so hoping that this one would be a boy.

Ziva and the doctor chuckled at his antics.

"A little excited, yes?" Ziva asked.

McGee just kissed her hard and fast and began dialing family.

LINE BREAK

"So, I'm getting a little brother." Chelsea announced to her friends.

"Cool."

"Gross"

Mac and Amy glared at each other. Chelsea rolled her eyes. If her best friends ever agreed on something, she would have a heart attack.

"Little brothers are gross." Amy said, "I speak from experience."

"Boys are awesome." Mac countered, "I speak from experience."

The two friends stuck their tongues out at each other.

"Enough!" Chelsea snapped, trying to match the tone her grandpa used when her dad and Uncles got into arguments.

There was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Chelsea called.

"Can I play?" Tali asked after opening the door.

"No." Amy answered smartly.

"Amy!" Mac scolded, "Of course she can. It's been awhile since she asked.

Chelsea wasn't sure what to do. Tali was already tearing up from Amy's rejection. Amy nudged her and stared at her.

"Uh, maybe next time T." Chelsea said finally.

Tears began to roll down her little sister's face. Mac glared at the girls and took Tali's hand.

"You guys are mean." he said, leaving the room, "I don't have any brothers or sisters. If you don't want Tali, I'll take her."

Chelsea watched in shock as Mac walked away with her sister, whispering soothing words to her. Chelsea felt horrible

"I don't know how you talk me into these things." Chelsea snapped, whirling around to face the red-head, "Mac's right."

Amy's green eyes glinted in anger.

"You always take his side."

"I do not!" Chelsea cried.

"You like him."

"What?"

"You really like him." Amy taunted.

"No!" Chelsea denied, turning red from the insinuation, "I am going to find Mac and Tali."

Amy stomped her feet, but Chelsea paid no attention and left the room.

Chelsea found her friend and sister in the backyard on the swing set that was a gift from Tali's godparents, Uncle Tony and Aunt Sarah. Mac was pushing Tali on one of the swings.

"Meanie." Tali said, sticking her tongue out.

"I'm sorry T." Chelsea apologized, "We should have been nicer to you."

"I forgive you." Tali said, jumping off the swing to hug Chelsea.

So far Mac had ignored her presence.

"Mac." Chelsea said, scuffing her shoes into the sand, "I'm sorry to you too."

Mac ignored her for a few more moments, then turned and smiled at her. Chelsea relaxed.

"I forgive you too." he said, the wind blowing his white-blond hair into his face, "I just get so jealous of you and Amy. You are going to have two siblings and Amy has three."

"I'm sorry about that Mac." Chelsea grinned and threw an arm around his shoulders, "I don't know about Amy, but you can borrow Tali all you want. She loves you too."

Mac laughed and hugged her.

"Best friends forever?" he asked when he pulled away.

"Forever." Chelsea said with a smile.

"What about me?"

Chelsea and Mac turned to see Amy standing there. Amy turned to Tali.

"I'm sorry I was mean to you Tali."

Tali huffed, but nodded.

"I'm sorry Chelsea and even you Mac." she continued.

Chelsea and Mac looked at each other as though consulting with one another. Then they smiled and opened their arms. Amy flew into the hug.

"Best friends?" Amy said.

"Forever!" they all cried at the same time, laughing.

Nanny June chuckled from the kitchen window that faced the backyard watching the tri-hug with affection.

"If only life were that easy." she said with the wisdom that didn't match the silliness of her neon green hair.

LINE BREAK

"He has called me ten times Zee." McGee complained as they relaxed on their bed, their children with their aunts and uncles, "TEN times!"

"He is just nervous Tim." Ziva said, not looking up from the book resting on her baby bump, "It is his first time proposing."

"Why me? I mean, I proposed to you in an ambulance. How could I help him be romantic?"

Ziva looked at him with a smile.

"Your proposal was perfect."

McGee disagreed, but Ziva wouldn't let him propose again. He had tried after Chelsea had been released from the hospital, but Ziva continued to state that it was the very best proposal for her.

"Jimmy has chosen the perfect person to help him." Ziva said, patting McGee's leg.

The phone rang again. McGee groaned and leaned back on the bed and stuffed a pillow over his face. He yelped when Ziva pinched his side.

"You answer that Timothy McGee." she scolded.

He groaned again, but answered on the last ring.

"Hello Jimmy. No Jimmy, I do not think a skywriter is a good idea. No, no. You'll think of something. You will. Ok Jimmy, bye."

Ziva snorted in laughter as her husband hung up.

"Do you believe this?" McGee said, pointing to his phone, "He's going to drive me-you know what? It's already hit that point. Jimmy is driving me nuts. He's nuts. Geez."

Ziva winced next to him.

"What is it? What's wrong?" McGee jumped off the bed, frantic, "Do we need to go to the hospital?"

Ziva laughed.

"Sit down Tim."

"You're sure?" he asked, sitting back beside her.

"Yes." she said, adjusting herself on the bed slightly, "I had just forgotten how uncomfortable it is to be pregnant."

McGee sighed in relief, remembering the scare they had had with Tali.

"You're sure?" he asked again.

Ziva rolled her eyes.

"Positive. Come here, I will show you…"

LINE BREAK

Tony had never felt so honored than when McGee and Ziva had asked him to Tali's godfather. He'd admit to being a little jealous when they had chosen Damon as Chelsea's godfather, but he understood why they had chosen the guy Tony now considered a brother. Chelsea was special to him, but hell, Anthony DiNozzo was the godfather of the little brown-eyed girl in the backseat of his car. He glanced in the rearview mirror to see his goddaughter staring out the window forlornly. She was so different from her sister. While Chelsea would have chattered the whole way, Tali was quiet, constantly thinking. While Chelsea would listen to and play loud music, Tali would rather curl up with a book that was way past her age range. Tali was very logical and often took things literally.

"What's the matter Bookworm?" he asked, using his nickname for her.

Tali let out a big sigh, making him smile. Tali had an old soul.

"I'm gonna be a big sister." she said matter-of-factly, "Chelsea said it is a big job."

"She did, huh?"

"Yes. I'm getting a brother you know." she informed him.

Tony nodded while pulling into the parking lot of Tali's favorite bookstore. Before Tali, he never would have set foot in any bookstore.

"I know, your dad told me. How do you feel about it?" he asked, parking.

Tali pursed her lips.

"Daddy said I could tell you." she said.

Tony grinned. McGee was going to get an earful tonight.

"I'm not sure how I feel Uncle Tony." she said as Tony helped her out of the car, "What if I'm bad at being a big sister?"

"That's not possible." he said, taking her hand and leading her into the store.

"Of course it's possible Uncle Tony." she said, pinning him with a look that was so like her mother that he shivered.

Tony laughed and they entered the store.

"Ok, it's possible. But I think you'll be a great big sister." he said.

Tali bit her lip and looked unsure.

"I hope so." she said, "Uncle Tony, why are we in the baby books?"

Tony looked around and realized his mistake. He laughed.

"Sorry Bookworm, the chapter books are this way." he said, gesturing for Tali to walk ahead of him in a gentlemanly way.

"Thank you." she said politely.

He smiled. His goddaughter.

LINE BREAK

McGee sat with his sister at a local café. They had begun doing this after their dad reappeared into their lives. It was taking Sarah a little longer to accept the apologies that Andrew McGee had given both of them. She had allowed her father to come to her college graduation, but reluctantly. But today felt different.

"Timmy…"

McGee raised an eyebrow. She only called him Timmy if she wanted something, or she did something he may not like.

Suddenly Sarah grinned and shoved her left hand in his face, something shiny hitting his nose. He moved her hand back to see an elegant ring on her ring finger.

"No way." he said, shaking his head.

"Way!" she squealed, "Damon asked me after graduation. Isn't this great!"

McGee knew he was gaping like a fish.

"Aren't you happy for me?" Sarah asked.

"Of course." he said, standing to hug her, "When's the wedding?"

"Two weeks." she said as she was hugging him back, but yelped as he shoved her back.

"WHAT!" he yelled, disturbing the people around them.

Sarah wasn't deterred.

"We don't want to wait and I have never wanted a fancy wedding." she said brightly, "Everyone I love is here, so why wait!"

McGee was speechless once again. Sarah's expression turned serious and she put her hand on his.

"Walk me down the aisle big bro?" she asked with a smile.

"Of course." he answered immediately.

Sarah squealed and threw her arms around him. He couldn't believe his little sister was so grown up.

"Congratulations little sister." he whispered in her ear.

LINE BREAK

The wedding was small, but elegant. It was attended by the whole team, a few of Sarah's college friends and the newly engaged Jimmy and Tara. McGee found Damon pacing in the hallway of the church.

"Hey." he said meekly, "Were you this nervous?"

"Yeah." McGee said, putting a hand on Damon's shaking shoulders.

Damon gave him a nervous smile.

"Listen, I have to say this," McGee said, "you hurt my little sister in anyway…"

"What?" Damon said with a smile.

"Ziva will kick your ass."

Damon burst out laughing.

"See, you'll be fine. I couldn't have chosen anyone better for her."

McGee visited his sister next. He found her being fussed over by the women.

"Can I have a minute?" he asked.

The ladies exited the room. McGee walked up to Sarah who was clad in an elegant white dress that looked amazing on her.

"You look beautiful." he said, kissing her cheek.

"Thank you." she said, then sniffled a bit, "I wish mom were here."

"She's watching." McGee assured her.

They both heard the music start up.

"Ready?" he asked.

Sarah took his arm with confidence.

"More than ever." she responded.

McGee knew this feeling of letting go would not be his first. He had two girls to give away.

"Are you ok?" Sarah whispered, "You look kinda sick."

McGee shook his head.

"I'm alright. Let's get you married."
