Ziva ripped the packet open and followed the instructions, she covered the small white stick with a towel and joined tony while they waited for the 2 minutes to be up. Tony was getting impatient, this was the longest 2 minutesever. When they were finally up, ziva uncovered the test to reveal the results.
They held their breath, the towel fell away from the stick, revealing two thin lines in the small window, tony looked to his partner with a questioning look, she handed him the box and they looked at the guide on the side, they looked at the picture that resembled what Ziva had in her hands, before they saw the word written next to it, Positive. Ziva looked to Tony, unsure of how he would react to the news. When she turned she saw the broadest smile she had seen on his face, he pulled her close and kissed her. The kiss lingered and as they gradually and reluctantly parted, Tony yelled out "Were having a baby!" this took Ziva by surprise at first, but she laughed and hugged him. "We are going to have to tell Gibbs" Tony stated, "he will kill you" she added with a laugh, but they were both too happy to worry about Gibbs reaction.
They had decided to invite the team over for dinner the next night to tell them both lots of good news. Ziva had decided that instead of cooking they'd order in. there was a new Italian Restaurant down the block that they had been meaning to try so they ordered various pastas, and pizzas just before the team arrived.
The team arrived all together at 6 PM and the food arrived minutes later, ziva had successfully hidden the new ring on her finger from her colleagues so far, they were intending on telling the team the news of the engagement before dinner as it would be too hard to hide the ring whilst eating, especially from the eyes of Abby, she rarely missed anything. The news of the baby would wait till afterwards.
As the people Tony and Ziva called their family sat down at the table, the couple stood up. As they did so all eyes turned to the pair, Tony's arm was around Ziva's waist and the hand that she wore her ring on was tucked into her pocket to conceal it until they made the announcement. Tony began, "We invited you here tonight because we have some news," Abby looked excited and worried at the same time, Ziva continued, "There is no point in dragging this out, Tony and I have decided to" Abby interrupted, "Oh No, You guys haven't broke up have you?" McGee chimed in "Abby, do you really think Tony would have his arms around her if they broke up" "How about we let them finish and then we'll know" Gibbs added, more of a statement than a question. Ziva nodded, acknowledging Gibbs words, before Tony continued, "What were trying to say is, Ziva and I are engaged!" There was a quick silence that filled the room before the words sank in. Gibbs was the first to recover, "Married Agents, well that's a new one for me, I'm happy for you two, just keep it out of the office, the whole of NCIS may not know about your relationship now, but they certainly will once your married, and to be clear, I don't wanna walk in the bullpen one day and find you two playing grab-ass, got it? He smiled, the rest of the team congratulated the happy couple and Abby stared at Ziva's ring while they sat down to dinner.
Tony and Ziva were in the kitchen cleaning the last of the dinner dishes, when Tony grabbed her in his arms and pulled her close, "when are we going to tell them?" he asked, they were interrupted by Gibbs who was bringing in a plate they'd missed, "Tell us what, DiNozzo?" he asked, "Uh, well actually, we want to tell everyone together" Tony said as he looked at Ziva who simply nodded.
They finished up with the dishes and assembled the team in the living room, Tony and Ziva stood in a similar stance as they had during the previous announcement, Tony didn't say anything this time, as much as it was their news, she'd be the one that was carrying their child so she could tell their friends. She began, "Our previous announcement was not the only one we have this evening. This morning, Tony and I found out that I have something that will affect not only me, but Tony as well for a substantial amount of time." Abby's eyes widened, "Why? Are you sick?" upon looking around the room Ziva noticed that everyone had worried expressions on their faces, McGee looked like he was going to be sick, as he was so worried. "No, no, calm down, this will affect us for a long time because we will have a family, we found out this morning that I am pregnant!" the shocked expressions returned for the second time that night as once again the news sank in. Every person in the room congratulated them, Gibbs wrapped Ziva in his arms and told her that he couldn't be more proud. Abby's hug came next, not as bone crushing as usual, Ziva figured she was worried about squashing her stomach, and hurting the baby. She returned the gesture, before receiving a hug from McGee and a kiss on the cheek from Ducky, Palmer congratulated her and she laughed as she watched Gibbs slap Tony on the back of the head, explaining that it was for getting his 'most deadly agent' pregnant, costing her time off work in the future, although they both knew he was happy for them.
Once the original shock and congratulations were over, Tony and Ziva approached Abby and McGee, who were talking on the sofa, "Sorry to interrupt Probie, but we have something to ask you" Tony began, McGee and Abby looked up and Ziva began speaking, "we hope you will consider being our baby's godparents" she asked. Abby and McGee's faces lit up, "we'd love to!" they yelled before Abby began babbling to McGee about what the baby would be like and how much they'd spoil it. Tony laughed as he pulled Ziva closer and kissed her on the temple, she looked up and rose on her toes, kissing him passionately. Gibbs was standing with Ducky and Palmer as they watched the happy couple together, and the very excited agent and scientist that were having a very deep conversation about the unborn child.
