I've had a busy weekend and therefore I didn't have any time to write and tonight I had a really bad headache but decided on writing anyway and I hope this chapter turns out to be ok!
There's not much to say (except for thank you for the reviews again!), therefor enjoy reading and please review (:

Another hour passed before Ziva appeared in the waiting room again, smiling slightly even though sadness crossed her eyes for a mere second.
It must've been an exhausting session and he simply greeted her with a smile.
"Ready to go?" He asked and she shuffled a little with her feet before replying.
"Yes."
When they left the hospital Ziva took a deep breath, welcoming the fresh air and the sun that was finally coming out a little.
"Hey, how about we go out for lunch? We can go wherever you would like to." Ziva thought about his suggestion and it sounded way too inviting to say no to it.
"Sounds good. How about the diner near my apartment?" She wanted to keep it simple and knew Tony actually liked the diner.
"Deal. And I drive." And with that he was off to the driver's side of her car, not giving her the opportunity to argue with him.

Once settled in the car she looked at him and shot him a mock glare.
Tony lifted his arms in surrender and retorted her look.
"What?" He asked playfully and Ziva tried to keep a straight face at Tony's expression.
"Really Tony? After all those years you still don't trust my abilities to drive?"
A look of horror crossed his face before his lips broke into a wide grin.
"Considering the entries you collected at work? Yes."
They both remembered the day Ziva begged him to write that the latest accident was his fault, telling him she would do anything for him and it both made them laugh now.
"I would be one entry down if you would've told Gibbs it was your fault back then." She teased him and he couldn't help but think back to his reaction.
"I told him it was my fault to let you drive, yes. And your offer was rather appealing Zee-vaah." Tony retorted and she blushed slightly, the self-confidence from the past seemingly gone.

Luckily they had just arrived outside the diner and both exited the car and quickly crossed the street.
They silently picked their lunch and ordered it and once the waitress was gone Ziva spoke up again.
"So, uhm, I thought I would like to go to NCIS tomorrow to finally make my statement." She simply looked at him without saying anymore.
Tony hadn't quite expected her to be ready so early but welcomed it because it would mean they could close this chapter sooner.
"I take it you talked to Emily about it?" It was only him guessing, but why else would Ziva change her mind that fast?
"Yeah, we talked quite a lot today, and…I want to move on and focus on other things instead."
There it was a again, that small twist in his stomach telling him he was still a little jealous that she didn't talk to him, even though he was glad she did talk to someone.

"That's great, really. I can drive you to headquarters tomorrow and run some errands while you're there." He took it as his chance to get some items to surprise Ziva and her plan came in handy.
"I'm capable of driving by myself, but I think it's ok if you need to get something done anyway."
Of course she was curious but knew asking him would lead her nowhere.
Their meals arrived only moments later and as they began eating Ziva suddenly looked up again looking thoughtful.

"You know what Tony?" Now she had his full attention as his head shot up to look into her eyes.
"What?" He asked curiously.
"I would like to have some pineapple to put on my burger." She smiled shyly and her cheeks blushed slightly as she looked down to her burger with tomatoes and roasted mozzarella.
"Really Zi? Do you think…" Tony started but stopped mid-sentence realizing it wouldn't make any sense to discuss this and instead ordered the waitress to their table again.
"Is everything ok sir?" She asked and Tony nodded friendly.
"Yes, but could we have some pineapple for the lady here?" He pointed at Ziva who was still looking slightly embarrassed and the waitress couldn't help but look a little deranged but decided on simply nodding before hurrying away quickly.

"I think you scared her a little." Tony laughed at the young waitress and Ziva laughed along since it was really a little comical.
"Well, one day she'll probably understand." Ziva stated and absentminded rubbed her stomach which didn't go unnoticed by Tony of course.
It only showed how much she was already affected by her pregnancy and the loving gesture, even though she wasn't quite showing off yet, made him tear up a little.
She was already protective over the baby and that's what would make her a great mother even though she couldn't quite see it in herself at the moment.

The waitress returned with the requested fruit and quickly turned around again to prevent witnessing what would follow next.
Ziva simply put the pineapple on her burger and began eating again.
"Hmm." She hummed in approval and Tony simply smiled a little at the sight in front of him.
He could only hope that it wouldn't become one of her favourite combinations of food, because getting it wouldn't be as simple as getting fruit salad.
About the pineapple in general he wasn't so sure, and he guessed she would combine it with everything from now on.
But he thought he could deal with that and seeing Ziva happy was enough pay-off for him.

"I'm glad you like it. And I have to admit that the waitress was quite entertaining." Tony joked and Ziva smirked at him.
"Oh and talking about entertainment…how about a movie night later on?" He asked her, a hopeful look in his eyes.
"Why not." Ziva brought out between her bites and Tony became excited.
They would finally have a movie night again and it would bring a bit more normality back into their lives.
And that was all they needed at the moment.

Fun fact: There was a time where I was actually craving pineapples like there was no tomorrow (without being pregnant) and I would put it on everything possible and everything sounded appealing as long as pineapples would be on it. Even the pizza delivery probably thought I was crazy for ordering pizza with only pineapple on it several weeks in a row^^
On another note: Anyone wondering what Tony is up to? ;)
