"So, who is going to tell Gibbs?" Tony said to Ziva.
They both looked at each other. "YOU!" They said in unison.
"NO, I am definitely not telling him." Tony said. "He will kill me. And he likes you more anyway."
"What?" Ziva said. "I do not think that is a good argument. Plus, I am feeling a little under the weather and I don't know if I am up to calling him." She smiled placing his hand on her forehead.
"You do not feel like you have a fever." Tony smiled knowing she was lying.
"I really think I do." Ziva smiled.
Tony leaned in and kissed her. Ziva smiled against his lips and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Please." She whined.
"No."
"Tony," Ziva laughed. "I will give you anything you want."
"Anything?" Tony smirked lifting an eyebrow.
Ziva smiled and brought her lips to his. "Anything you want." She whispered against his lips.
"ONY!" Izzy screamed running into the living room. "PAPPA IS OMING!"
Tony pulled away from Ziva and looked at the little girl. "Where is he?"
"Dere." She said pointing towards the kitchen door. Izzy climbed on Tony's back. "i hav tou ide." She whispered in his ear.
Tony smiled and looked up at Ziva. She was smiling as well. "How about we go hide upstairs, and then Ziva will tell him we went downstairs to make him go away!"
"YA!" She whispered happily."Member Eva, e go down."
"I remember." Ziva smiled from her spot on the couch. "Go, before he comes here."
Izzy wrapped her arms around Tony's neck to hold on as he ran them both up the steps and towards Izzy's room.
Damian came into the living room moments later. "Where are they?" He asked noticing that Tony was missing. Ziva smiled at him and then shook her shoulders.
"Who?" She said acting clueless.
"Izzy and my brother." Damian smiled. "or should I say your fiance? Congrats."
Ziva blushed. "Thanks."
"Welcome to the family." Damian said giving Ziva a hug. Ziva hugged him back. "They are upstairs in Izzy's room, but you didn't hear it from me." Ziva whispered.
Damian smiled and ran up the steps towards Izzy's room. "HERE I COME!" He screamed.
Ziva smiled until she saw Jess waddle into the living room with a knife in one hand and a camera in the other. Jess wasn't smiling.
"Whatever happened, Tony did it." Ziva joked looking at the knife.
Jess broke out into a smile. "YOUR ENGAGED!" She screamed.
Ziva smiled. She nodded her head. "I'm Engaged."
"Let me see the ring!" Jess smiled waddling as fast as she could and sitting on the couch next to Ziva. Ziva held her hand out and showed off her ring. "Oh My GOSHHHH! It is Gorgeous! Tony has really got an eye!"
Ziva nodded and admired her ring too. It really was beautiful.
"I am so excited! I WEDDING! I have been waiting for this day since we were little. Although I never imagined that Tony would marry after Lauren, but he is and, AH, I am so excited!" Jess squealed. She bounced a little on the couch. "Uh!" She said holding her stomach.
"You okay?" Ziva asked, getting concerned.
"Ya, I should be." Jess said with a sad smile. "Part of pregnancy, you can't do simple things, the harsh movements hurt my bladder. The jumping around isn't helping either."
"Okay." Ziva said.
"So, the wedding, where will it be, when?" Jess asked.
Ziva chuckled. "We do not know yet. It will awhile because we still haven't told our boss and well, he has rules against this and, well, it might not even be permanent."
"You mean that if your boss says you cannot get married, then you guys won't?" Jess asked.
"Gibbs means a lot to both of us."
"So, Don't you deserve to be happy?" Jess said.
Ziva sighed. "I guess. It is just...Gibbs is like my father and I wouldn't feel right if he didn't approve. He is just...I don't know, maybe i am acting stupid." Ziva placed her face in her hands. "He will probably split up the team if we do get married and I don't trust anyone to have my back but Tony. I will get a new partner and... it just seems like too much."
"I understand, but, I just feel like maybe it might be worth it. Tony will always be your partner for life if you get married. It is a family, something permanent. I love being married. Even though at times it can get tough, I love my family and i would give up anything just to keep them. Izzy is my life and the baby," She said placing her hand on her stomach, "he is amazing. I just, i would give up the police force for them. I probably will soon. I might need too."
"Won't you miss it?" Ziva asked. "Going from police officer to stay at home mom."
"Of course I will, but, my family needs it. Damian can't stay home because his job pays more and me well, I will have maternity leave anyway. I might just have to hand in a resignation before I even go back if handling the two becomes hard. I don't want to be the parents that have nannies and never see their kids." Jess said.
"If you ever need any help." Ziva smiled placing her hand on Jess's, "Just give us a call. I would be glad to help and I know Tony would too."
"Damian was thinking of transferring hospitals to Virginia. He said he wants to be closer to you guys. It would be easier if we lived near family." Jess said.
"What about your In-Laws?" Ziva asked.
Jess laughed, "They were no help with Izzy. The never baby sat because they are never home. Too many trips, too many hours at the casino."
"It would be really nice to live near some family." Ziva smiled. Ziva started to think about having Jess live near her and Tony. Babysitting Izzy and the baby on the weekends, bringing them in into work, and feeling like a family.
"We'll see." Jess smiled. "Listen, I have to go start working on dinner, you wanna come into the kitchen with me?"
Ziva nodded and slowly stood up. Ziva was proud of herself as she walked all the way to the kitchen herself, slowly, yes, but by herself nonetheless.
Tony ran down the steps with Izzy tucked under his arm like a football. He ran to the couch and threw Izzy down on it playfully. he held her down, tickling her. Her laughter filled the air
"ONY" She screamed twisting and turning to get away from Tony's magic fingers.
Tony smiled brightly.
"IZZY!" Damian yelled running down the steps. "I"M COMING TO SAVE YOU." Damian ran towards Tony and tackled him to the ground. Izzy was left on the couch as the brothers wrestled it out.
Once Ziva and Jess heard the loud thud of Tony and Damian hitting the floor, they went to see what was going on exactly. They walked in to see Tony holding Damian down. Izzy had climbed on top of Tony pulling his hair.
"Get off ma pappa!" She was yelling. "Unca ONY!"
"DINOZZO!" Jess yelled loudly. Both men stopped automatically at the sound of their name. Izzy continued to play with Tony's hair, pushing it in all different directions.
"Unca Ony! You need to weave! Get off pappa!" She said her hands now on his forehead and some fingers covering his eyes.
"Tony, I see the roles have reversed." Ziva laughed from her spot at the doorway. Tony looked up and saw Ziva leaning against the door frame. 'She looks so beautiful.' He thought. He smiled at her before he was totally attacked, Damian getting him on the ground and Izzy standing on his stomach.
"Mamma! Ook! I Won!" Izzy smiled dancing on Tony's stomach. Tony grabbed Izzy and held her off his stomach.
"OUCH!" He said. "Did you have to do the Mexican Hat Dance on my stomach?" he joked.
"Huh?" Izzy said confused. She tilted her head to the side. Tony chuckled and lifted Izzy totally off him then got up himself. He stood next to Damian.
"Really." Jess said with her hand on her hip. "Can we not have one day without you guys wrestling?"
"Sorry dear." Damian said walking over and kissing Jess. "We won't do it again."
"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Izzy screamed. "THEY KISSY
Tony smiled. he knew exactly what he had to do. He snuck up behind Izzy and picked her up. She squealed as he planted kisses all over her face making it over dramatic. Izzy's arms and legs flapped back and forth as she tried to get away.
"Ew. Ew. EW.!" She yelled. "Help me Daddy!"
Damian laughed and walked over grabbing Izzy from Tony's arms. Izzy rested her head on his shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and snuggled into him. "I seepy." She said, exhausted from all the excitement.
"You wanna take a nap with Daddy?" Damian asked. Izzy nodded against his shoulder. "Alright. Tell Uncle Tony what movie you wanna watch and we will fall asleep to that."
Izzy lifted her head up. "Awiel." She said sleepily.
"Huh?' Tony asked.
"Ariel. Little Mermaid." Damian said."Hey munchkin, how about we go change into comfy clothes then when Uncle Tony has everything set we can go sleep!" Izzy nodded and rested against her father as he lead them upstairs to her change of clothes.
Tony walked over to the TV and pulled out the movie drawer and set up the movie. He then grabbed a few blankets. Ziva walked over and wrapped her arms around him from behind was he changed the channels on the had already retreated to the kitchen. Tony turned around and looked at Ziva.
"Hey beautiful." Tony smiled. He leaned down and rested his forehead against hers. He put his arms on her waist and pulled her close.
"I love you." Ziva said.
Tony smiled brightly and leaned down and gently kissed her. The Kiss lasted a few moments till Ziva pulled away.
"I love you too." Tony smiled. "You okay?"
"Ya, just over thinking some things." Ziva said. "Don't worry. I am fine."
Tony pulled her closer to him. "I will always worry." He said kissing her nose. "Why don't you relax and watch the movie when they come down. I'll go help Jess." Tony smiled. Ziva nodded against his chest and gave him one last hug before taking a seat on the couch and getting comfortable for the movie. Withing a few minutes, Damian and Izzy came downstairs. Izzy dressed in her pajamas even though it was the middle of the day because they were comfortable. She had on footie pajamas that were pink and had purple hearts all around it. Damian laid down on the couch, Izzy on his chest. Since the couch was huge and stretched across a large span, they all fit comfortably. he pressed play and began the movie.
Tony walked into the kitchen to help his sister-in-law/best friend cook dinner.
"Hey Jessie Bear, what can I do to help?" Tony asked.
"NEVER! EVER! Call me Jessie Bear ever again." Jess said turning around with a sharp knife in her hand.
"Alright." Tony sighed. "I thought it was cute."
"I will start bringing out the names from Middle School if you want me too." Jess smirked.
"No THANKS!" Tony said. He grabbed the bread off the table and began to cut it and then proceeded to make garlic bread. The two worked around each other perfectly like they always have done.
"So, you're engaged." Jess smirked.
"Ya." Tony smiled.
Jess put down the food she had in her hand and turned to face Tony. "Tony, Are you ready fro this step?" Jess asked. "I was talking to Ziva earlier and, I just want you to be positive you guys are ready for this. I know Ziva is nothing like Lauren, i just can't help but be cautious."
Tony turned to face Jess and smile. He was touched by the concern that Jess had for him. "Positive." Tony smile. "She's the one. I can't stop thinking about her. When she isn't in the room, I miss her. I just, can't picture my life without her."
Jess smiled. "C'mere." She pulled Tony in and hugged him the best she could around the large bulge coming from her stomach. "I am so proud of you. Congratulations." She whispered. Tony held her tighter. "Thank you." He whispered back. "You know, I am getting pretty excited for this baby to come out. Any way to make it go faster?" Tony smiled.
Jess pulled back. "Anytime now Tony. And trust me, I think I want this baby born more than you." She smiled placing her hand on her stomach and looking down at her belly
