Life is changing

Chapter 11: Questioning Tony and a funny visit

20th week:

At one afternoon, Ziva sat on the couch in the living room. In her one hand she held and ultra sonogram that had been taken today and in the other hand a book. All around on the floor stood moving boxes. Some days ago Tony had decided Ziva's moving out of her apartment. He had boxed in all her stuff and moved it to his apartment. Now he looked for the perfect place for a nursery.

"Shall I paint it blue or pink? Oh sorry, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy." Tony said, while he carried the last carton up in the apartment. Ziva looked at him bored. She was weary of it.

"Tony, I told you already. I don't want to know if it's a boy or a girl." Ziva wanted it to remain a surprise.

"Come on Zee. You are as curious as I am. And you don't like surprises."

"True, but this is a good surprise. And you can paint the room yellow." Ziva said, concentrating on her book. Tony shook his head.

"Have you ever seen a room for a boy, which is yellow?" Tony really wanted to know if he would be the father of a boy or a girl.

"Tony, you can paint it after the baby is born. I will be in hospital for some day, during this time you can paint it." Ziva hoped this compromise would be right for Tony.

"You are right with the room. But toys? And clothes?" He tried to annoy Ziva even a bit more.

"Boys and girls can play with teddy bears. And you can buy white clothes. Or green or yellow clothes." Ziva was on the edge of her nerves.

"O.K. I will stop it. But I really want to know if it's a boy or a girl. And we can decide a name then too."

"Just decide a boy's name and a girl's name. That's light. Have I answered all your questions?"

"Sure you have. And did you mean easy, when you said: That's light? Because the right version is "That's easy."" Ziva took a deep breath.

"Tony, go and pack out my stuff, or I'll throw my book after you." Ziva shouted. Tony opened the boxes immediately and put the things on the right place. Ziva only read in her book.

"Are you in a better mood now, than this afternoon?" Tony asked, in the evening, when he and Ziva were lying in bed. Ziva, who cuddled next to Tony, just ignored his question.

"I was in a good mood Tony, but you teased me. And if you have seen one of you stupid movies, you should know that nobody should tease pregnant women. But I'm in a better mood than this afternoon." Tony looked at her and he felt a bit sorry.

"Can you take away this book? You are reading it the whole time. What is it about?" Tony took away Ziva's book and tried to read it, but it was written in Hebrew. Ziva tried to catch the book but she couldn't.

"Stop Ziva. That's not good for the baby." Tony said and gave her the book back. Ziva looked at him and was surprised. Tony realized her surprise.

"Why do you look that surprised?" he asked.

"It's the first time that you say something like: "That's not good for the baby." I'm impressed." Ziva answered. Tony kissed her and then he put his hands on Ziva's belly.

"You can try to feel a kick. The baby often kicks in the last days." They remained silent for some minutes, till Tony felt a real hard kick.

"Wow, if it's a boy he will become a soccer player or a football player and if it's a girl she will be a ballerina." Ziva laughed.

"Yeah, O.K. And we should find a name. I don't want a nameless baby, if he or she is born. I have heard about babies, which were nameless some days or even 3 weeks. And this is something I don't want."

"Yeah, me too. But you have to promise me one thing." Ziva tried to guess it, but she had no idea.

"If it's a boy he won't have the name Anthony or Marcus. Just promise me this." Tony said. He didn't like his name very much. Tony was good, but Anthony was like he was an old man. And Marcus was a really bad name.

"I promise, if you promise me the same thing: If it's a girl she won't be named Ziva." Tony nodded.

"Okay, not Anthony, Marcus or Ziva. I can live with that." They both laughed, when Ziva's mobile phone rang. She stood up to answer it.

"David? Hello…" Then it was silent. She didn't say even one word and after about 20 seconds she put the mobile phone on the desk again.

"Who was it?" Tony asked a bit worried. Ziva came to bed again.

"My father. He will visit us next week."

"Ziva, it's not funny to joke about this. He hates me." Ziva shook her head.

"This is no joke. He really comes. He said he will call me, where we will meet. And I know that he hates you, but he doesn't know that you are the father." Tony closed his eyes, took a deep breath and laid his head on the wall behind him.

"This is going to be a very funny visit." he said, Ziva nodded and did the same as he: Closed her eyes, took a deep breath and laid her heads against the wall behind him.

Hope you liked the chapter. I said, that I wouldn't update before Christmas, but I got some reviews and wanted to update. It's cold outside and I was bored, so I wrote even faster. Please review. Disclaimer: Everything belongs to CBS. I own nothing.

P.S.: Someone asked me, why my chapters are so short and I want to explain it: I really hate to read a chapter with 2,000 words, because they are so long and hard to read. That's why my chapters are a bit short sometimes. Hope you don't mind it. And again: Merry Christmas! Lol
