"Jeanne" Tony said "We'll talk tomorrow ok"

"Ok Tony, love you"

"You too. Bye" Tony said hanging up the phone. He rubbed his forehead and looked at Ziva, by now it was dark, the moonlight filtering through the curtains and into the room. "I told you last night, didn't I?" He asked her once seeing the look on her face.

"Yes. Congratulations"

"I don't think I can do this" He said. She put a hand on his arm and squeezed gently.

"You can Tony" She said.

After a long silence he turned his head towards her "I was going to ask you to marry me about 6 months ago, but then everything happened" He said standing up and taking a deep breath "The ring I was going to give you is still in my draw...It was my mothers. I don't think I'll give it to anyone now" He said "I should go"

Ziva stood and walked towards him "Stay the night" She whispered, a hand on his chest and her eyes closed "Please Tony"

"What about Jeanne?...Dane?..." He said quietly as Ziva looked up at him, her hand running up his arm.

"It is only us Tony" She whispered.

"God Ziva" He mumbled as one of his arms went around her waist and his head dipped down to press his lips against hers.

She knew this was wrong. She loved both Tony and Dane, and after what Tony had said today and the night before, she knew that he was in the same problem. She sighed as he nibbled on her lower lip and deepened the kiss, her arm going around his neck, the other around his stomach.

They walked awkwardly towards her bedroom, their lips never leaving each others. When they got into the room, he laid her down on the bed, lifting her shirt off her body before leaning down so he was looking at her growing stomach.

"Hey there kid" He murmured before pressing a kiss just above her belly button and moved upwards.

"We should not be doing this" Ziva said to him with a sigh.

"I know" He said, leaning down to kiss her.

"No Tony" She said pushing him away from her slightly "We shouldn't"

Tony rolled to the side with his head on his hand and looked down at her, their eyes locked.

"Ziva" He said in a low voice "I-"

He didn't say anything else, he just stood up and walked out of her apartment, making her sigh and her head drop onto her pillow. The phone rang next to her ten minutes later, the loud noise echoing through the apartment. She rolled over and picked it up.

"Shalom?" She sighed.

"Hey. Can I come back?" Dane asked quietly.

Ziva smiled softly "Yes Dane"

Once she had hung up the phone, she stood, making her way to the bathroom, taking the rest of her clothes off as she went.

Twenty minutes later she was lying in her bathtub when she heard the front door open and her name being called.

"In here" She called back. The bathroom door slowly opened and Dane stepped in with an apologetic look on his face.

Ziva scooted forward in the bathtub slightly, inviting Dane to join her. He stripped down and slipped into the tub behind her, pulling her so she was leaning her back against his chest and his hands were tracing circles on her stomach.

He kissed the side of her neck, then the other side "I love you Ziva" He murmured against her neck.

She turned her head and kissed him "I love you too" She murmured back, ignoring his split lip.

"How are you?" He asked as he ran his hands up and down her arms.

"I am fine" She mumbled, her head falling back onto his shoulder.

"Good" He whispered, kissing the side of her head. Her hand reached back so she could run her fingers through his black hair.

"Dane. Would you like to come to Israel with me?"


"Jeanne, listen" Tony said calmly as he took her hands in his and guided her to sit on the couch with him "I love you"

"I know Tony. What's wrong?" Jeanne asked worriedly.

"I can't marry you" He said, her eyes widening slightly "But, I still want to be with you, I ah, just realized that things were moving too fast for me" He said nervously. Jeanne smiled slightly.

"It's alright Tony. I understand. You'll be ready one day" She said, leaning forward and kissing him lightly.

"There's something else" He said. Jeanne sat back slightly, her hands on his shoulders.

"What?"

"You know how Ziva's pregnant? It might be mine" He said. Jeanne went silent for a moment.

"Oh"

"Yeah" He sighed, running a hand through his hair. Jeanne slowly stood up.

"How many months pregnant is she?" She asked. Tony turned and put his hands on his knees and looked up at her, knowing she would figure it out.

"She's four months pregnant"

Jeanne nodded and swallowed "We were together then"

"I know" He said "I'm sorry"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

He stood up in front of her "I don't know"

Jeanne closed her eyes and turned around grabbing her bag off the chair "I'll call you in a few days" She said before walking out the door.


The next day at NCIS the building was full of tension. Tony and Ziva weren't talking and Gibbs and Jenny seemed to be at each other's throats.

Ziva stood up and walked in front of Gibbs' desk and handed him a piece of paper.

"What's this?" He asked.

"My request for a month of leave. Dane and I are taking a trip to Israel"

Tony's head snapped up "I thought you were going on your own" He said. Ziva turned around.

"Dane will be joining me. My father would like to meet the father of this little one" She said placing her hand on her ever growing stomach.

Tony felt like she had slapped him in the face. He pushed his chair back, it hitting the things behind him with a bang and he stormed out of the Bullpen.

Ziva realized what she had said and quickly went after him.

McGee looked from Ziva's retreating form to Gibbs.

"What was that about?"


It wasn't a surprise to her that she found him in the men's bathroom. She walked in quietly and locked the door before leaning her back against it, staring at Tony leaning against the sink.

"I am sorry Tony" She said "I did not realize what I had said"

"Yeah well, you were just speaking the truth weren't you" He said running a hand over his face.

She walked towards him and stood next to him, putting a hand on his where it rested on the sink.

"Has the baby kicked yet?" Tony asked after a long silence.

Ziva shook her head "No, I do not think it happens until 18 weeks" She said.

"So, the baby's healthy?" He asked.

"Yes. I had an ultrasound last week. It is healthy" She said. He nodded.

"Well, have fun in Israel with Dane, your baby's father" He said, walking past her and out the door.

Ziva sighed. All she wanted to do was find out who was the father. She didn't want to risk losing the baby by doing the test while she was pregnant.

She guessed they would just have to wait 5 months.
