Abby sighed as Tony left the lab. It had been the same routine for the past week. Ziva comes in the morning, they spend some girl time together, they go out for lunch, she goes back upstairs, Tony comes down with evidence – but not when Ziva's there – and they talk a little before he heads back to work. Most of the time, McGee comes down to help her. As McGee walked into the lab, she finally exploded.

"That's it! I've had it with this 'Tony and Ziva not talking' thing! It's getting out of hand!"

"They'll get over it when they're ready, Abs. There's nothing you can do about it." McGee kissed her cheek as he placed her Caf-Pow on her desk. Abby stood thinking about it for a moment.

"Wait…" Abby smiled. "Maybe I can…" She whispered something in McGee's ear. He first looked at her with amazement, then in shock.

"No way! I won't do it!" He started to walk away. Abby grabbed his arm.

"Oh come on McGee – not even for love?"

"No! Tony will kill me!"

Abby smirked. "Doesn't he do that on a daily basis?"

McGee frowned. "Good point…"

"Well, don't worry – there is another plan." She pulled him closer. "Gibbs thought of it."

Abby and McGee walked into the bull-pen together, heading straight for Tony's desk. They were about to reach it when someone whistled at them. They turned to see Gibbs signaling for them to come over. They walked over to him and leaned on his desk.

"What do you two think you are doing?" he asked quietly.

"We're going ahead with that plan of yours, o great and fearless leader," Abby explained.

Gibbs smirked. "Alright then. Just make sure you take him at lunch and not when he's meant to be working for me."

"Got it, boss," McGee answered. He turned with Abby and headed to Tony's desk, where he was sitting with his head on his desk.

"Tony?" Abby asked. She leaned down only to hear him snoring. She looked up at McGee for help. He rolled his eyes before taking out the copy of 'Deep Six' Tony kept in his desk and slamming it on the table. Tony jumped up when he heard the noise.

"What happened?" he cried as he sat up. He frowned when he saw McGee and Abby standing in front of him, smiling.

"Oh, what do you want?"

Abby's smile broadened. "We just wanted to take you out for lunch."

"Sorry, guys, but I don't feel like –"

"You are going out for lunch, DiNozzo. You don't have a choice." Gibbs gave him a small grin.

Tony sighed. "Fine then."

"We'll pick you up later!" Abby skipped back to her lab. McGee stood in front of Tony, waiting for him to look at him. Tony looked up at him.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"I just want to apologise for messing this all up, Tony."

Tony smiled. "It's ok, Probie. I feel better now that you're still talking to me."

McGee smiled back. "That's good, Tony."

Abby dragged Tony and McGee into the café, only to find Gibbs and Rebecca already sitting at a table waiting for them.

"Hi guys!" Abby squealed as she neared the table with the boys. Tony stared at them in shock.

"Boss?"

Gibbs looked up at him. "Yeah, DiNozzo?"

"What… what are you doing here?"

"I'm coming out for lunch. What does it look like, DiNozzo?"

Rebecca snickered. "You really should meet my boyfriend – you would be awesome mates!"

Tony raised an eyebrow at her. "I thought you hated me?"

Rebecca laughed. "It was a trick – you know, a joke?"

Abby sat at the table. "That was a good one, girl."

McGee joined them at the table. "Sit down, Tony."

Tony sat down cautiously at the table. Rebecca took a few sandwiches out of her bag and placed them on the table. Everyone except Tony grabbed one and opened it. Rebecca looked at Tony, silently urging him to take it. He shook his head. Gibbs quickly realized what was happening and took the last sandwich, putting it in front of Tony.

"Eat something, DiNozzo."

Tony took the sandwich and slowly opened it. He was reluctant to eat anything.

"Tony?" Rebecca looked at him worriedly. Tony looked up at her. He knew what she was going to say, and took a bite of the sandwich. He smiled as he ate it.

"This is good!"

Abby, McGee and Rebecca laughed at his face. Gibbs refrained from laughing; because he knew what he was going to say would hurt him. Tony saw the look on his face.

"You alright, boss?" he asked.

Gibbs gave him an awkward smile. "I'm fine, DiNozzo. Just thinking about something."

"About what, boss?"

Gibbs took a deep breath. "Ziva asked me to go with her for her ultrasound."

Tony's face fell. "What did you say?"

"It doesn't matter what he said, Tony," Abby butted in. "You will be going with Ziva to the ultrasound by the end of this week."

"And you're going to get married and raise those babies together," Rebecca continued. "Even if I have to force you together."

"I still don't get it – you're five-feet-seven and I'm scared of you?" Tony laughed.

Rebecca smiled. "My best mate taught me martial arts, and my other best mate used to go to the gym with me. We used to do weights together."

Tony stared at her in shock. "Now I know why I'm scared of you." He sighed. "So, how exactly are we going to make this all better?"

McGee smiled at him. "How far from here is Jeanne's apartment?"

Tony nervously knocked on Jeanne's door and turned to McGee, who was standing around the corner. He gave him a thumbs up, urging Tony to go on. Just as Tony turned back to the door, it opened.

"Tony?" Jeanne smiled at him. Tony ran a hand through his hair.

"Hey, Jeanne."

Jeanne noticed how nervous he looked. "Do you want to come in?"

"Uh, yeah, sure."

She stepped aside and let Tony walk in. "Have a seat."

Tony sat on the couch and tried to relax as Jeanne walked into the kitchen.

"Do you want a drink? Juice, coffee?"

"A glass of water would be fine."

Jeanne disappeared into the kitchen and reappeared with a glass of water and a mug of coffee in her hands. She placed the glass of water on the coffee table and sat down, taking a sip from the coffee mug. Tony took a sip from the glass of water and a deep breath.

"Jeanne, there's something I have to tell you."

Jeanne looked up at him. "Ok." She put the mug down on the table. "Tell me."

"I'm engaged."

"Oh, but Tony we're not…" Jeanne finally realized the situation they were in. "Oh, so that's why you didn't return my calls."

Tony nodded.

"I'm cool with that. To be honest, I've got a boyfriend."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Tony was relieved. "Yeah… and then there's what nearly happened the other night…"

Jeanne bit her lip. "Your fiancée found out?"

"Yeah."

"Just gimme her number and I'll tell her what happened."

Tony was shocked. "You're not mad at me?"

"Tony, I'm completely over you. There's no way I would want to date you again, because now I've got the perfect man in my life."

Tony smiled. "I'm happy for you. It's just that I thought you still hated me."

"I've grown up, Tony. It's not right to hate people for a long time."

"Right. So you don't hate me anymore?"

"Don't push it, Tony."

He scribbled Ziva's number on a piece of paper and handed it to Jeanne. "Here's her number. And if she comes to kill you with a paper clip, call me."

Jeanne laughed as she stood up and showed Tony to the door. "So maybe we could hang out, like mates? I could bring my boyfriend and you could bring your fiancée?"

Tony smiled. "Sure, Jeanne. That would be cool." He opened the door and stepped outside. "So, see ya sometime?"

"See ya, Tony!" She shut the door behind her. Tony smiled as he walked towards McGee and Abby. They immediately noticed the smile on his face.

"I'm guessing that all went well?" McGee asked.

"Yeah! She actually offered to talk to Ziva about it!"

"I just hope she lives to tell the tale…" McGee started.

"Ok," Abby butted in. "Now for part two of the plan."
