Hey everyone! I'm sorry this took so long! A couple weeks before finals my professors decided to pile on the homework, projects, and papers. My finals are now all done so updates will hopefully be quicker. I hope this chapter satisfies you all.

Two weeks later Ziva received a call from Dr. Jackson saying that Tony's results were in. She wanted to see them the following morning at 8 a.m. Both of them were afraid, but neither showed it, trying to be strong for the other. They made it through work like they always did, but the impending test results kept clouding their focus. Luckily, Gibbs let them go home early and they were able to have dinner together. It was nice for both of them, but the silence between the two of them was eerie and the discomfort almost tangible. All Tony could think to do was grab her hand and stroke it softly. He saw her calm down, but she still had tomorrow on her mind. He was plagued by it too, and it was becoming harder and harder for him to take Gibbs' advice.

Ziva was touched by Tony's simple gesture. It helped, but it didn't make her worry any less; nothing could help that. She was dreading tomorrow. She didn't know what she would do if the test was positive. She had lost all of her family already, she couldn't lose her baby too. She unknowingly let a few tears fall while he held her hand. Though she didn't think she needed a man to live her life, she was grateful that he was there.

Recently, Ziva has started to feel her body change. Her appetite has increased dramatically, she was more fatigued then usual, she started having cravings, and Tony in particular noticed that her chest started to grow. To make things even worse, she was starting to feel heavier.

The next morning Tony was in the bathroom getting ready as Ziva got out of bed. She went to stand in front of the floor length mirror beside her bed. In her pajamas of shorts and a black tank top. She turned to the side and pulled her tank top tighter against her stomach. She could see a slight bulge protrude from her abdomen. She was starting to show. She didn't know whether to be scared, or happy. "Tony!" She called. He came out of the bathroom half dressed and drying his hair with a towel.

"What?" He exclaimed.

"Come here."

He dropped the towel and walked over to stand behind her. "Yeah, what is it?" He asked calmly. She turned to the side again.

"Look."

Tony looked intently in the mirror. He noticed the swell of her stomach and pulled her back against him. He clasped his hands around her stomach and placed his chin on her shoulder. She placed her hands over his and for the next five minutes there was nothing but bliss.

Ziva looked at Tony's eyes through the mirror. Her heart raced seeing the pride and honor that was plastered all over his face. Tears started to form in her eyes and she looked back into his eyes in the mirror. She took a deep breath, "I love you, Tony."

Tony pulled away from their embrace and brought his face to hers. It had taken several months for her to say those words to him and he could tell that she meant all of them. He cupped her cheek in his hand and leaned in for a kiss. Ziva's arms went around his neck and his around her waist as the kiss grew. When he pulled away from her Tony was breathless.

"I love you, too Ziva" He kissed her again and when they pulled away, Ziva smiled for the first time in two weeks.

Both the drive to Dr. Jackson's office and them in the waiting room were silent. Ziva was scared, but was trying not to show it. Tony could see this and put his arms around her. He rubbed her back and whispered in her ear. "I know you are trying to be strong, but you are allowed to be afraid and show that you are afraid. You are the strongest woman I know, but that doesn't mean you can't be afraid. I'm afraid, too. We'll be afraid together, okay." She nodded her head against him. When he pulled away from her Dr. Jackson came out into the lobby and called them back to her office.

The office gave both of them déjà vu. Two weeks ago they sat in the same spot and were told that their baby has a 50% chance of getting Tay-Sachs. Now they are hear to see if that will be true or not. Dr. Jackson sat down at her desk and pulled something up on her tablet.

"Thank you both for coming in, I know it's early, but I really need to discuss these results with you. So first of all, Ziva, you tested positive as a carrier for Tay-Sachs disease then we tested Tony. We had to run Tony's sample a few times, but we were eventually able to get a consistent result." Tony took Ziva's hand. "Tony, you did not test positive for the Tay-Sachs mutation. So this means that the baby will only be a carrier of the disease."

Tony squeezed Ziva's hand. "So the baby is okay?"

"Yes, the baby is okay." Ziva started crying and leaned towards him. He wrapped his arms around her.

"Thank you." He said softly to Dr. Jackson. She smiled.

"I will see you at your next appointment." She exited.

Tony continued to hold Ziva until her crying stopped. He kissed the top of her head and quietly whispered. "I love you so much." Ziva was still incoherent when he said this. He stayed in the same position; holding her and rocking her until her crying quieted. When she pulled away from him they smiled at each other and he put his hand on her cheek. They looked at each other. Neither of them said anything, but the look that passed between them said more than any amount of words ever could.

A/N: I tried to make this chapter as positive as I could. After this past Tuesday's episode I was very upset after hearing that Ziva slept with Adam. Now all my hopes for Tiva are diminished and the finale is going to end on an open note for Ziva because Cote de Pablo hasn't renewed her contract. Needless to say I'm very nervous because if she doesn't come back I freaking walk. Anywhere there's my rant for the day. I am having a hard time getting the next chapter off the ground so any suggestions of what you would like to see would be great. Thanks to everyone!
