Tony and Ziva stood side by side in the elevator, patiently waiting for the biggest moment of their lives so far: telling the team. They had called from the lab asking Ducky, Palmer, The Director and the other half of the MCRT to meet them in the bullpen.

"You alright?" Tony asked, taking hold of and squeezing Ziva's hand.

"I am nervous. Are you not?"

"No, I'm pretty nervous too. But they're our family Zi. They'll be so happy for us. Besides we're only confirming everything for Gibbs, the pregnancy for Ducky, so really we're only telling McGee, Palmer and The Director."

"It is Vance that I am most nervous of telling." Tony took her into his arms.

"It'll be okay. I promise." He dipped his head to kiss her. "I love you and this baby and everyone will be made up for us, trust me." Ziva smiled as the doors opened. "Ready?" She nodded. "Come on then." They strode out of the elevator, hand in hand.

"I know you're all very busy and you can leave soon but, we have something to tell you." Tony started while Gibbs and McGee sat at their respective desks, Ducky and Palmer stood at the entrance and The Director leant against Tony's desk. "And we want you to be happy for us." He squeezed Ziva's hand gently.

"I am very happy to tell you that Tony and I are engaged." She said raising her left hand to show off her ring. "And I am pregnant." The whole bullpen erupted in beaming smiles.

"Congratulations my dear." Ducky was the first to speak. "Congratulations both of you." He kissed Ziva's cheek and shook Tony's hand. "I am very happy for you both."

"Congratulations guys." Palmer followed suit hugging her and shaking his hand. Both ME and assistant then left with a quick goodbye.

"I'll expect you in my office soon to discuss your work plans then Agent David." Vance smiled.

"Yes Director. I will come see you as soon as is possible." She smiled back accepting the small kiss on her cheek and the shake of Tony's hand as his goodbye.

"She said yes then DiNozzo?" Gibbs smiled.

"Did you expect her not to?" The smile turned to a laugh as he got up and kissed Ziva's cheek.

"Congratulations Ziver. I am happy for you, both of you." He pulled Tony into a hug and whispered something inaudible in his ear which made him tear up. Meanwhile, McGee had come round and hugged Ziva.

"Well, well, well. I'm gonna be stuck with three DiNozzos. I'm screwed." Both he and Ziva laughed.

"We will not make your life too much of a misery Tim, I promise." He hugged her again.

"I'm happy for you though, both of you. I really am." Gibbs excused himself from the group to answer his ringing desk phone. "Congratulations Tony. You finally did it." The boys both hugged and smiled widely.

"Yeah, I finally did it." The young couple shared an intimate smile.

"Get out of here you two." Gibbs called out to the couple.

"Excuse me?" Ziva questioned.

"Go celebrate. I'm giving you the rest of the day off. Go enjoy being engaged for a bit." Taking each other's hand, the couple smiled at their boss and co-worker, walked back to the elevator and hit the button for the ground floor. They had only travelled a small way before Ziva's curiosity got the better of her.

"What did Gibbs say to you?" Tony faced his fiancé and smiling, took her into his arms.

"He told me Jenny would be proud."
