"I think you should start desk duty soon" Jenny told Ziva one night a few weeks later as they were lying in bed. Jenny's hands were moving idly over Ziva's stomach.
"I do not think so" Ziva replied as she tensed up and tried to move away.
"But Ziva-la I don't want anything to happen to our baby."
"Nothing will. Do you not trust me J?"
"Of course I trust you, I just want to keep our baby safe."
"What about me?" Ziva shouted as she got off the bed. "You just want the baby, you don't care about me!" Leaving Jenny behind in her room, Ziva walked down the hallway to her mother's room.
"Ima?"
"Come in my little one" Tzipporah called. Shutting the door behind her, Ziva crawled onto her mother's bed.
"Ima what is wrong with me?" She asked with tears in her eyes.
"It is just hormones, my darling. Not to worry."
"I thought I was doing something good, but Jenny only sees the baby. She is getting what she wants and that is all that matters to her; it is all that she cares about. I feel like I'm suffocating. Why did I ever decide to do this?" Ziva started to cry.
"Shhh my girl. It is alright." Tzipporah cooed as she stroked her daughter's hair.
While Ziva was crying, Jenny was laying in bed confused about what had just happened. Was it wrong for her to want the baby to be safe? Was it the fact that Ziva didn't want to be on desk duty? Her musings were cut short when Tzipporah knocked on the door frame.
"Is Ziva ok?"
"She is fine. She is sleeping."
"What did I do wrong?" Jenny asked.
Tzipporah sat on the bed. "She is scared. Her body is changing in ways that she does not understand and she is having a hard time with that."
"Was I wrong to want the baby to be safe?"
Tzipporah was quiet for a minute. "Jennifer what are your feelings towards my daughter? She is willing to change her life permanently for you. I know that she longs for someone to love her. What are you willing to do for her?"
Jenn started to answer but no words came out of her mouth.
"Just think about it" Tzipporah said as she stood up. Kissing Jenn's forehead, she murmured "Laila tov" before leaving the room.
