Hey all!
Sorry for the wait, I had this written up a few days ago, but I've been pretty busy. Sorry.
Here it is!

That Vision Thing
Later that night Ari was sitting against the headboard of their bed, a large text book resting against one of his legs as Kate rested against his chest with a notebook on her legs over the comforter. Ari was studying for the SATs while Kate had to write an essay for her history class, which was her least favourite class.
Ari closed his book and leaned over to put it on top of the bedside table, one of his arms still around Kate and his hand still on her stomach, his fingers entwined with hers. He thought for a moment before reaching down and opening the bottom draw and pulling out the small black teddy, sitting back up and placing it on top of Kate's notebook.
Kate stopped writing and looked at the bear, letting go of Ari's hand and picked it up.
"What is this?" She asked turning her head and looking at him. He stared at her for a moment before looking at the bear.
"For the baby" He said quietly in her ear "To remember us"
Kate turned her head back and looked at the small bear, which was only about the size of her hand and swallowed. She smiled slightly and let the teddy drop in her lap before turning and kissing Ari gently, her hand coming up to touch his lightly stubbled cheek.
"I know you think that it is best for the baby" He said quietly as he pressed his forehead against hers "I believe that we could manage to do it"
Kate moved back slightly and smiled sadly "Think about it Ari. We have no money, we're teenagers and we're not ready" She said, her hand brushing his cheek again. Ari took her hand and kissed her palm, keeping her hand there as they looked at each other.
"I know" He murmured, pulling her towards him as kissing her again. She shifted so she was straddling his legs, her notebook and the teddy falling to the side.
Her ever growing stomach pressed into his as he slowly kissed down to her neck, his hands running down her sides, making her laugh breathlessly when he found her ticklish spot. Kate smiled and took one his hands, placing it over the front of her stomach, letting him feel the baby kicking softly under his palm. His hands slipped under the shirt she was wearing, which was one of his black button-up shirts, and lifted it over her head, taking note that she wasn't wearing anything underneath.
Kate smiled slightly; putting a hand on her stomach above Ari's had as he ran his other down her back "He won't stop kicking"
Ari placed both his hands on her stomach and kissed her again, helping her with riding him of his boxers, the teddy and Kate's notebook falling to the floor.
"Why is he still here?" Tony asked as he walked with Ziva into her living room, seeing Michael sitting on one of the couches reading a magazine and earphones in his ears.
Ziva turned to face him "He is living here" She said "His parents kicked him out last year and my father thought it was best for him to stay here"
"Why?" He said as Michael looked up and gave a nod to them.
Ziva began walking towards the staircase "My father is training him to be a…what was that person called in the movie we watched…a Mini-Me, yes?" She said turning on a step and looking at him.
He grinned slightly and nodded, his hand brushing her hip as he walked with her the rest of the way up the staircase and into her room.
When Tony closed the door behind them Ziva wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pressing a kiss to his jaw as his arms encircled her waist. He buried his face into her neck, making her laugh as they found their way to the couch, them both lying down on it.
Ziva smiled down at Tony as she pushed herself up on her arms, Tony's hands playing with the bottom of her hair.
"Are you regretting going slow?" She asked with a smirk, placing her hands on his chest.
"A bit" He grinned, pressing his lips to hers quickly.
Ziva reached down and picked a remote off the floor next to the couch, sitting back up on Tony's legs and pressing one of the buttons, music instantly filling the room.
Tony stood and dragged Ziva into the middle of the room with him.
"What are you doing?" Ziva asked with a smile as Tony spun her under his arm. He grinned down at her.
"A dance madam?" He asked, still grinning. Ziva glared at him for a moment and punched him in the middle of the chest. He laughed loudly and took her hands, spinning her under his arm before pulling her against him and pressing a soft kiss to the top of her head.
"What do you think will happen when we go back?" Kate asked quietly in the early hours of the morning. Ari shifted slightly next to her, both of them wearing the clothes they originally went to bed in and looked over at the alarm clock, seeing it was three-thirty in the morning. Next to the alarm clock sat Kate's notebook with the little black teddy sitting on top of it.
"I do not know" He said, putting his head on his hand, looking down at her through the dark.
"I know DiNozzo will be pissed off at me. Actually, he'll be pissed off at you" Kate said with a laugh, her hands resting on her stomach as she looked back at him. He let his hand fall and stroked her hair, leaning down and kissing her forehead before returning to his original position.
"Things will return to normal once we return" He said. Kate laughed without humour and looked at the ceiling, shaking her head.
"No, it won't" She whispered.
They laid in silence for a while, listening to the noises outside their window. They vaguely heard April and Cameron return from their grave yard shift at the hospital and the two go into their bedroom down the hall.
"Three months left" Kate said quietly after a while, running her hands over her stomach. Ari nodded through the dark and took a breath.
"Yes"
Kate suddenly pushed herself up and slipped out from under the warm comforter, quietly walking across the cold wooden floor and walking around the bed.
"What are you doing?" Ari asked sitting up slightly. Kate groaned.
"He's sitting on my bladder" She said before disappearing into the en-suite.
Ari couldn't help but chuckle as he laid back down.
