A/N: Wow so I'm back at school for the year and it's all good but keeps me busy, so I will try to update as much as I can, but don't worry I wont leave you hanging for too long, I couldn't do that to all of you fantastic readers! So I know some of you were excited for the team to find out, and here I shall give it to you! :)

16 weeks

The next weekend the team had all been invited over to Tony's apartment for dinner, Gibbs was the only one that knew the real reason behind the dinner party though. Tony and Ziva had been slaving away in the kitchen for the past hour. Tony was cooking his Nonna's beautiful lasagna recipe that he had mastered as his own personal dish over the years. Ziva was making the salad, and pretty much watching Tony and his master kitchen skills that she wouldn't tire of just sitting there watching.

After that they had set his dinning room table with cutlery, plates and glasses, making sure everything was set for a great dinner party. Tony had even brought out one of his good bottles of wine, for the guests of course, and he topped up his supply of beer in his fridge. Just as Tony had grabbed himself a cold beer out of the fridge and sat down next to Ziva on the couch there was a knock at the door as their first guest arrived. Tony noticed the smile that lit up Ziva's face; he knew she was excited to tell everyone, even if she was intensely nervous at the same time he knew she really wanted them to know.

Tony put his beer on the coffee table and followed Ziva to the door. Ziva opened the door to see a smiley Abby with McGee right behind her. Abby looked at Ziva confused for a second as she had expected to see Tony open his door, but when Tony emerged from behind Ziva Abby just shrugged and forgot all about her confusion. Abby enveloped Ziva in a big hug and Ziva chuckled.

"Oh My God this is so exciting, we haven't had a dinner party in so long!" Abby exclaimed before she swapped from Ziva to Tony for a hug. McGee was a lot calmer in his greetings but he was still just as happy to be there.

After inviting McGee and Abby in and giving them each a beverage it wasn't long until Gibbs and Ducky had arrived. Palmer couldn't make it as he was in Chicago with Breena this weekend visiting her family. They had all sat around the table, Gibbs at one end and Ducky at the other, McGee and Abby on one side and Tony and Ziva on the other. It was the way they always sat on a table at a dinner like this, the two respected older men at each end of the table.

Abby was in the middle of telling everyone about the bowling competition her and the nuns won last weekend. Tony had just returned to the table with another beer for himself and Gibbs, everyone else (besides Ziva) was drinking wine. Tony took his seat next to Ziva and smiled at her as he noticed she wasn't really paying attention to Abby. He leant over in his seat and whispered in her ear.

"Did you want to tell them before or after dinner?" he whispered so softly that only she could hear him. Ziva placed her hand on his knee as she looked him in the eye as she thought about it. Gibbs had noticed the whole interaction as he wasn't really listening to Abby either; he had heard the story already when Abby had called him as soon as they had won. Ever since his two agents had shared the information with him he had for some reason felt really happy lately, two of the people he consider his children where having a child together and beginning to share their lives. He couldn't be happier for the both of them; they both deserved it so much.

Ziva had made her decision.

"After I think would be best" she whispered and he nodded and gave her a smile, he really wanted to kiss her in that moment at the cutest innocent look she had on her face, but he knew he couldn't. He just settled for reaching down and placing his hand over hers on top of his knee.

Ducky had seen the interaction between them at that moment, and he had also noticed Ziva was the only one not drinking any alcohol tonight. Ducky knew the familiar look in Tony and Ziva's eyes. He had shared it with a woman named Daisy when he was a young lad, Daisy was the one woman he had truly fell in love with, she was the one true person who held Ducky's heart for a very long time. Sadly for Ducky he never got to experience that committed love through marriage with her like he always wanted as she was taken from him in a fatal car accident. Ducky would always remember the way she looked at him though, just like Tony and Ziva had at that moment.

And he knew the only two reason's to why Ziva, a woman who definitely enjoined a social drink with her friends, would not drink on an occasion such as this. One she was on pain killers, which she clearly wasn't because she hadn't been in any accident and Ducky was the one person anyone from Gibbs team came to for any other medical advice. And that left the one other reason why. Pregnancy. He wouldn't put that passed being correct, Ducky had seen Ziva looking queasy in the passed month at crime scenes a few times and just something about the way she had moved and acted differently lately, it wasn't obvious but to Ducky's medical knowledge and his watchful eye he saw it.

Ducky shot a look towards Gibbs who looked right back at him. Gibbs had also seemed a lot more bight lately and the look that Gibbs gave him was a happy reassuring smile, Ducky had a feeling that if what he had predicted was true it would give a strong explanation at the delightful dinner party they had been granted with tonight.

After the discussion which Abby brought up about McGee's new book that was coming out Gibbs had groaned, he didn't need another episode with his agents and 'The Adventures of L.J Tibbs', the first book that came out was enough for him.

"Dinner almost ready Tony?" Gibbs asked as he stood, avoiding the book talk for tonight. Tony looked up at his boss and smirked, he knew what he was avoiding.

"Yeah, let's go check it out" Tony replied and stood himself and joined Gibbs in the kitchen. Tony opened the oven could smell the delicious sent of Nonna's lasagna, it was definitely ready. Tony brought the lasagna through while Gibbs followed with the salad and bread.

"Yay you made you Nonna's lasagna!" Abby cheered from her seat.

Everyone had enjoyed the meal gratefully, and Abby had told Tony to save the leftovers for her to take to lunch at work on Monday, Abby had always been very fond of Tony's lasagna. Ducky and McGee had then insisted to clear the table of the dishes and when they returned everyone refilled their drinks and sat down to chat like they always did as their food settled. It was then that Abby finally noticed something and decided to point it out.

"Ziva, why are you not drinking tonight?" Abby asked, getting straight to the point in a cheerful bubbly Abby way. When Abby asked McGee seemed to realize too and now everyone was looking at her. Ziva turned to Tony and he gave her a reassuring smile before she took a deep breath and addressed her family.

"Well I have something that I would like to tell you, well actually I have two things" Ziva said, slightly glancing at Tony at the last words. The whole table was silent as they waited for Ziva to continue.

"I did not think I would truly ever be saying this but… I'm having a baby" Ziva said and she reached over and gripped Tony' hand as she waited for their response. If the loud squeal from Abby, soon followed by her flying out of her seat and rounding the table to wrap Ziva in a giant hug said anything, it was that Abby really liked the news.

"Oh My God Ziva this is so amazing! Oh My God!" Abby cheered. Ziva couldn't help but beam with a smile, and as she looked at Tony over Abby's shoulder she saw him with his bright smile adorning his face. As soon as Abby had let go she found herself being hugged by McGee who whispered he was so proud of her for finally making herself a family, the thing she had always wanted that he knew she did. McGee had always been a novelist when it came to his words, they were always touching and from the heart, McGee actually made her eyes go glassy.

Also it wasn't long after McGee when she was wrapped in a hug from Ducky, she felt like a little puppy in that moment, being passed around for hugs. She liked it though, she liked to feel loved and have a family. Ducky had whispered things resembling McGee's but Ducky's had that old Scottish flow to it that made it sound just as beautiful. When it came to Gibbs he smiled at her, already knowing but he still pulled her into a hug.

"You family is proud Ziver" he whispered. She smiled at him but held back her tears of happiness that had been struck upon her by the love she was surrounded by. She looked over at Tony who stood back from the commotion and smiled at her, his smile was as big as ever but this time it held a soft loving gesture to it. All eyes then turned to Tony as he hadn't congratulated Ziva yet, he just stood there smiling.

"Tony already knew didn't he?" Ziva then heard McGee's amused voice state his thoughts.

"Yes he did, he was the first person I told" Ziva didn't realize what she had just said until it came out in words, the room went silent, even Gibbs had not known that. They all weren't really sure to say about that, but they all knew just how close Tony and Ziva are.

"Um Ziva, how far along are you?" Abby then asked, calculating evidence.

"16 weeks" Ziva answered. Everyone didn't feel upset she hadn't told them earlier, they knew it was something that you wait until you are ready to expose the knowledge of such a personal thing to other people. Abby didn't want to say what she said next but she needed to.

"Ziva weren't you with Damon then? And now your not?" Abby asked. They knew about the break-up between her and Damon but nothing of the fight that happened between him and Tony. Except for Gibbs and Tony (who already knew the whole story) everyone else was interested in the answer. Ziva looked around her family.

"Yes I was with Damon at the time and I did leave him, he…did not deserve to be around me or my child, it was for the best" Ziva explained.

"My dear are you raising the child by yourself?" Ducky asked, he looked over at Tony and could see something in the younger man's eyes that told Ducky that Ziva wasn't doing this alone but he raised the question anyways. Ziva looked at Tony again.

"No I, well that is the second thing I wanted to tell you, well we…" Ziva said giving a pointed glance at Tony, he smiled and stepped closer to her and Ziva heard Abby gasp.

"I know this is all a lot for one night but, Tony and I are together now, and we are going to raise our child together" she said proudly and Tony slipped his hand into hers. Ducky and Gibbs had smiles on their faces and Abby and McGee looked speechless.

"Our child as in…Is Tony the actual father of your baby?" McGee asked amazed again, that would have meant…that would have meant Tony and Ziva slept together while she was still with Damon McGee thought to himself. Tony gave a brief look at Ziva before he answered.

"We don't know" he said. Ziva gave his hand a squeeze before adding.

"But no matter what Tony will be the father of my child" she stated proudly as she looked over at him with a gentle loving smile. Everyone thought it was one of the most emotional and sweetest things the two of them had ever shared with the team before.

"So…you two…you know then?" Abby asked, with a small grin forming. At the flush of both Tony and Ziva's cheeks Abby got her answer.

"Oh My God you two! I so know you would one day!" Abby exclaimed and threw herself into them both, giving them a hug. It surprised Tony when he received a hug from McGee and Ducky. McGee had told him he couldn't believe he finally did something about his feelings for Ziva and Ducky had whispered to Tony that even if he wasn't the true father he would make a perfect father to the child like it would deserve, no matter what that he would treat the child like his own and be a great father. That had made Tony's eyes glassy like it had Ziva's earlier. When Abby saw that Gibbs didn't say anything she turned to him.

"You knew!" she exclaimed pointing at him accusingly but all the while she was smiling. Gibbs just smirked at her.

"You so did" she replied to his smirk and it had brought laughter out of the room.

After a little while everyone had headed home, not before thanking Tony and Ziva for dinner and giving them their best wishes on both of the new surprises tonight, they were all very very happy for the two of them, well as Abby had pointed out, the three of them. When Ziva headed to the dishes Tony had to pull her away, he would not let his lady do the dishes when she should put her feet up and relax.

He managed to get her to agree to head to bed for the night, she had read her book as she waited for him to finish his cleaning in the kitchen. When he entered the bedroom he smiled when he saw her, he didn't know why he just loved the fact that she was with him and feels so comfortably in his bed, in his home, sharing his things. It gave him a warm feeling inside. He removed his shirt and jeans and climbed in next to her; as soon as she put the book on the bedside table and lay back he pulled her into his arms and gave her a long sweet kiss.

"I wanted to do that all night" he said with a smile. He brought his hand to her waist and pulled her close while she held her hands to his chest.

"I am glad they took it well" Ziva then said as she absently ran her fingers in patterns on his chest.

"I knew they would, they all love you and we are all family" Tony replied as he leant down and kissed her again. When he pulled back he noticed a tear roll down her cheek, he was about to ask if she was ok when she spoke.

"I have never been happier in my life, to have them all and you and squirt. It is a dream come true" she whispered. He lifted his hand to her cheek and traced his thumb across her cheekbone.

"You will always have us Zi, and we will always love you" he whispered in reply. She smiled at him softly before kissing lovingly, one, two, three times before she snuggled into his embrace. Here in his arms when she knew she was surrounded by a true family in her life and she was starting her own family with him and their child inside of her, that is what made her life, simply a dream.
