Sorry it took so long to up load lol...been a bit busy...anyway enjoy...(p.s. I don't even know how I wrote this chapter...I just typed and it came out lol)

Ziva woke in the middle of the night and rolled over to find Tony but he wasn't there. She sat up and looked to the empty space next to her and frowned. Nothing last night seemed out of the ordinary…other than their long talk.

She looked at the clock by the bedside. Two seventeen. Maybe he just went to the bathroom. She lay back and waited for him to come back but then remembered he never closed the bathroom door, let alone the bedroom door when he went. She sat up again, starting to worry. S

he stood up and moved slowly too the door placing her hand on the handle. She turned it quietly and looked through the gap that she created. She frowned at her actions. Why was she creeping about her own apartment? She pulled the door fully open and walked out. All the lights were out and the TV was off. She flicked a switch but nothing turned on.

She huffed angrily "Damned power cut"

She carefully walked through her apartment so as not to walk into anything. She went to her kitchen and got some candles out of a cupboard and lit them and walked back through to the living room. She saw a shape on her couch and slowly moved towards it. She put the candle down on the coffee table and turned around to look at them in the newly found light. She jumped back when the eyes of the person on the couch were open and looking at her. She stumbled back onto the candle knocking it over. The flame caught on a piece of paper and it went up with a pop.

Tony leapt into action pulling Ziva off the flames and shoving her onto the floor so she could roll around making the flames go out. Next he ran to the kitchen and filled the basin with water and ran back to the living room dousing the flames and Ziva in freezing water. Ziva gasped when the water cascaded over her.

When Tony was satisfied the was out he put the basin back and walked back through to the living room and a drenched Ziva. She stared at him as he walked in.

"You okay?" He asked her worriedly.

She nodded "Cold…freezing cold"

He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her to share his warmth. She winced as his hands came into contact with her back and she pulled away sharply.

Tony frowned at her "What's wrong?" He asked.

"My back hurts" she said.

He spun her round and lifted her top she was wearing and gasped. "Crap, Ziva"

She tried to turn and look at her back. "What?"

He gently reached out and touched her back and pulled away quickly when she winced. "You're very burnt on your back…and when I say very…"

Ziva walked into the bathroom to look in the mirror. She glared at her reflection. He back was red and swollen and split. "Can I take you to the emergency room please?" Tony asked her gently.

She faced him properly and saw the concerned look on his face. She nodded reluctantly. They went and got dressed Ziva careful of her burns. She went to put a tight top on but thought again. She threw it to the ground frustrated. Tony held a lose button up shirt out to her and she took it gratefully. Tony grabbed his car keys and he and Ziva left. Ziva sat forward in her seat so no pressure was applied to the burns.

When they reached the hospital they walked in and over to the receptionist. "Can we see a doctor ASAP please?" Tony asked.

The woman working at the desk nodded. "Sure, what is wrong?" T

ony pointed at Ziva "She got burnt pretty bad"

The woman nodded. "Can I have your name please, miss?"

Ziva lent on the counter. "Ziva David."

The lady looked up at her. "Ah! Miss David! It's good to see you again…obviously not under the circumstances but it is good to see you"

Ziva smiled and Tony looked between the two women. "You two know each other?" He asked.

Ziva nodded "She was the one who did the pregnancy test and told me I was pregnant." She said. T

ony smiled "Oh…"

The nurse at the desk smiled widely. "If you'd like to wait over there Dr Mayer will see you"

Ziva and Tony walked over to the chairs and sat down. "You okay?" He asked her.

She nodded and breathed in deeply. "I'm just tired and I want to go home"

Tony smiled sympathetically at her. "Sorry…" He said.

She looked at him confused. "For what?"

"It's my fault that you got burnt"

Ziva frowned "No, it's not…it's whoever keeps causing the power cuts…not yours"

Tony smiled. "But if I had come to bed then you wouldn't have come out looking for me and you wouldn't have found out about the power cut, light candles and I made you jump"

Ziva pulled a face. "Why didn't you come to bed?" She asked.

Tony smiled and looked at the floor guiltily "There was a program I wanted to see then after that a film came on and I started to watch that and I fell asleep. I normally wake up to the sound but obviously the power cut, cut the TV off as well so there was no noise"

Ziva laughed. "Serves you right"

Tony frowned, confused and was about to ask her what she meant but Dr Mayer walked out. "Ziva David?"

Ziva stood up and he gestured for her to follow him. Ziva started walking and turned around to Tony when she realised he wasn't following her. She held her hand out to him and he jumped up and walked forward with her. Doctor Mayer made Ziva take off the shirt and sit on a bed so he could have a proper look at her back.

"Well these are pretty severe burns…I'll have to put some ointment on them and then dress them….they should heal in four to five weeks at best. Your partner here will have to help you apply the ointment every other day and re-dress the wounds. Is that manageable for you"

Ziva and Tony both nodded. The doctor smiled and stood up. "I'll be back in a minute to dress that…oh and I'm going to do a check-up of your baby, you know…just in case…I'm positive it'll be fine considering it was your back that was burnt. And you're about due for a routine check-up soon anyway so it kinda all fits in nicely" He turned and walked out of the room to get his equipment.

Tony looked at Ziva who was sat there calmly. He lent forward in his seat. "Are you not worried, Ziva?" He asked her.

She shook her head. "No…should I be?"

He shrugged "He said about checking the baby…just in case"

Ziva shrugged. "But he then said there is probably nothing wrong…considering it was my back that got burnt" Tony sat back in his chair and sighed. "Tony…it'll be fine, honestly"

Tony looked at her. "I know but I'm thinking about the force I shoved you onto the floor to get rid of the flames…I was only concerned about your safety and forgot you were pregnant"

Ziva rolled her eyes. "It wasn't even that hard Tony. Trust me, okay?" Tony nodded and stood up and sat next to her on the bed.

Doctor Mayer walked back in and moved round the back of Ziva. "Now this is going to hurt…quite a bit…I would recommend holding your partners hand….sorry sir, I don't even know your name?"

Tony grinned. "Anthony DiNozzo… friends call me Tony…which backwards is Why not" Ziva rolled her eyes at him and he grinned right back.

"Okay…so Miss David, I'd recommend you hold Anthony's hand…"

Tony held his hand out to her and she placed hers in his. The doctor started rubbing ointment on her back and she hissed in a breath when it came into contact with her skin. Five painful minutes later and he had done with the ointment.

"Don't worry the bandage stage is not nearly as painful" Doctor Mayer commented kindly.

Ziva smiled and looked at Tony who's face only showed concern. Another five minutes and Ziva's back was white with bandages. "Great….now leave that open while I go and get the ultrasound to have a peep inside there" he said pointing to Ziva's belly. "When I get back, you'll lie down on the bed, and we'll get to see your baby…which won't be much after only four months…plus you're barely even showing a bump yet but there will still be something to see…there is a fully formed body in you"

Ziva gulped when he left the room. "When you say it out loud it is really scary"

Tony placed his other hand over top of hers and rubbed it gently. "It'll be fine, Ziva…"

Ziva smiled at him and nodded. Doctor Mayer walked back into the room around ten minutes later and requested that Ziva lay back on the bed and Tony to go and stand round the other side. They did as they were told. As the gel was applied to Ziva's abdomen she gasped.

Tony stroked her hand gently. "The doctor knows what he's doing, Ziva" He said.

Ziva nodded and smiled at him "I know…that was cold"

Tony and the doctor laughed. "Sorry, I should have warned you first" Ziva smiled at him.

He started scanning Ziva's belly then pointed to the screen. Tony and Ziva both looked eagerly and saw the form of a baby on the screen. They grinned at each other. The doctor then pressed a button on the machine and suddenly a gentle thumping filled the room. Tony and Ziva looked at each other wide eyed…they were listening to the perfect little heartbeat of their baby.
