As they lay in bed, munching on French fries, or frites, as it were, Ziva told him all about her new job with Liat. It turned out that after Gibbs returned from the desert, he had contacted Ziva in hopes of having her train the women in the shelter to defend themselves. Ziva happily accepted the position and quickly traveled to the shelter to get to work. It was only after returning from her second visit with the stomach flu, that Ziva found out she was pregnant.

Knowing that she did not want to risk the health of her baby, she started to search for a replacement. When she ran into Liat at a carnival of all places, she learned that Liat was looking for a change. Ziva had passed her information to Gibbs, who had been skeptical, but it turned out she did a wonderful job.

"So, you are training a new era of ninja warriors?" Tony joked.

"It is not really like that, these women, Tony, these women have given their safety away for the idea of freedom. We are just trying to make them a little safer," Ziva's eye sparkled with unshed tears as she thought of all the women and girls she had met at the shelter.

"I shouldn't joke, Zee. You are doing a really great thing. I'm happy for you, but what about when the baby is born?"

"When I told Gibbs that I would not be able to continue traveling to the shelter, he mentioned that they needed someone on the American end that would help the women who received asylum get settled. You know help them find living arrangements and jobs," she explained.

"So you are really coming home?" he asked hopefully.

"My things are already shipped," she smiled at him. "I hope that is okay, I had them sent to Gibbs house, because he has extra space and I don't really have a place to live."

"Are you crazy, Zee? Did you miss the part where I said I love you and I want to raise this baby together?"

"I just do not want to assume anything. I mean we have never lived together before, and you said you could barely handle a goldfish. How will you feel when the baby spits up on your couch? Where will we sleep? I mean I liked being in your bed, but at this size, I doubt I would fit," she shrugged.

Tony scrubbed his hands over his face. These were all questions that need to be answered, but right now all he wanted to do was forget about all the details and be with the women he loved.

"How about, just for tonight, we pretend that all that stuff is already worked out?" he asked, praying that she would agree.

"Just for tonight?" she asked.

"Just for tonight," he promised.

"But what would we do then?" she grinned.

"I would show you how much I missed you, silly," he laughed, running his fingers up her ribs and tickling her one secret ticklish spot.

So, they were both very happy pretending.
