Gibbs was alone in the bullpen when his phone rang. He had sent McGee and Tony to pick up a suspect and Ziva was getting supplies for the twins to take to the daycare so they could stay with Jane.
"Gibbs"
"Hello Jethro"
"Hi Jane the daycare didn't give you any problems with getting the twins right? I told them you were OK."
"Oh no they didn't give me any problems."
"Are the twins giving you any trouble?'
"Oh no they are fine I mean it's only been fifteen minutes but so far so good. It's just."
"What?"
"Didn't you say you were sending an agent to collect supplies for the twins and they would be dropped off at the daycare?"
"Yeah I sent Ziva. Why?"
"Well when I went to get the twins but they said nobody had delivered anything for them. I just wanted to make sure everything was OK."
Gibbs paled he hadn't realized it had gotten so late. McGee and Tony had a long way to go to pick up the suspect and he had been so engrossed in the case. Hoping they could wrap it quickly so he could have the weekend with the twins. After hanging up with Jane he immediately jumped up, grabbed his keys and raced off to look for Ziva. He tried calling her but her phone went straight to voicemail.
"Dammit David you're breaking rule 3!" Gibbs growled.
He sped to her apartment his heart skipped a beat. When he saw that her car was not in the parking lot. He turned back out of the parking lot and sped towards his house. He was going to grab the twin's overnight bag and then get his team taken off the case and they were going to find Ziva. He rounded the corner into his neighborhood. When he approached his house he felt a surge of relief when he saw Ziva's mini cooper in his driveway. He came upstairs and heard a sound coming from the bathroom. As he got closer he realized it was crying. He swung the door open and saw Ziva sitting against the bathtub holding a stick crying. He quickly realized it was a pregnancy test.
"Ziver what the hell?" Gibbs asked.
"G…Gibbs?" Ziva stammered.
"Is that a? Are you?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes Gibbs I am pregnant." Ziva replied.
"How far along are you?" Gibbs asked.
"Only about three weeks." Ziva replied
"Whose is it?" Gibbs asked.
"Tony's" Ziva replied.
"Good someone trustworthy who will stand by you." Gibbs replied.
"I know he will it's just we both work a very dangerous job." Ziva replied.
"I know Ziver but I will talk to Leon and he will find you something else at NCIS that's safer. Tony will never leave the field it's his passion." Gibbs replied.
"Well it's just after my dad and Jackie died I got this feeling it would be a bad year for losses and McGee's dad is terminal and we've already lost Kayla." Ziva replied more tears falling.
"Well don't worry about it too much." Gibbs replied.
"It's not like that. "sigh" When I was still in Israel after my dad died. I had this dream. There was this cemetery and everybody was there except Tony." Ziva explained.
"Oh Ziver that could mean anything. Maybe it's someone else but Tony's undercover." Gibbs assured.
"I hope so Gibbs. Even if I wasn't carrying his child he's still my friend." Ziva replied.
"I know Ziver. Come on I'll drive you back to HQ." Gibbs replied.
"Alright" Ziva replied wiping the last of the tears from her eyes.
Jane pulled into her driveway. Liz and J.L. were in the backseat of her van. So far things were going well even though his agent had never delivered the overnight bags. She figured she had some of her kid's old clothes they could wear.
"Alright Lizzie J.L. this is my house you are going to stay with me tonight." Jane said as she helped the twins out of the car.
"Why aren't we staying with our usual sitter?" Liz asked.
"She isn't feeling well so Gibbs arranged for you to stay with me. You'll have fun though." Jane replied.
"Where's CoCo?" J.L. asked.
"He's still at your house. You'll be OK for just one night though." Jane assured.
"No Tony or CoCo?" J.L. asked.
"I'm afraid not but you'll be OK." Jane assured.
Jane led the twins into the house she found Maddie lying on her stomach writing in the spiral notebook she used as a journal for her English class, Sydney was playing bowling on the WII, and Robby was at work.
"Maddie did Sydney get her homework done?" Jane asked.
"Yes mom." Maddie replied.
"Alright Syd pause the game and let's go up to your room so I can check it out." Jane replied.
"Alright" Sydney sighed.
"Maddie do me a favor and get the twins set up in the guest rooms." Jane replied.
"Downstairs?" Maddie asked.
"Yes" Jane replied.
Jane and Sydney went upstairs while Maddie took Liz and J.L. to the guest rooms. Jane was in the middle of going through Sydney's trapper keeper checking over each of the subjects her agenda book said she had homework in when her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi Jane it's me Jethro."
"Oh hi Jethro is everything OK?"
"Yeah it is fine I just wanted to let you know I am bringing the twins overnight bags."
"Oh good J.L. really needs CoCo."
"Well I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Is everything OK with Ziva?"
"Yeah she's fine. S…Something just came up."
"Alright well I have to finish checking over Sydney's homework and then get dinner started."
"Bye"
"Thanks again bye"
"Why are Gibbs's kids staying with us?" Jane asked.
"His team caught a case and their usual sitter is sick so he called me at work and asked me to keep them." Jane replied.
"They won't be staying in my room right?" Sydney asked.
"Of course not they will be sleeping in the guest rooms downstairs. They are closer to my room anyway." Jane replied.
"OK" Sydney replied.
"Boss! Ziva! Where were you guys?" Tony cried.
"Did you and McGee bring in the suspect?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah he's in interrogation with McGee right now." Tony replied.
"Alright. Ziver you need to tell him." Gibbs said.
"Are you sure? Do I have to?" Ziva asked.
"Yes Ziver he has to know." Gibbs replied.
"Tell me what?" Tony asked.
"Come with me." Ziva replied.
"Alright what did you need to tell me?" Tony asked pulling the emergency lever on the elevator.
"Tony I am pregnant." Ziva replied.
"A…Are you sure? It's mine right?" Tony asked.
"Yes and you were my first partner in months and I am only three weeks." Ziva replied.
Tony stood in shocked silence trying to form words. At this point he was simply trying to remain standing and keep the tears from falling.
"Tony? Are you OK? Please don't be mad." Ziva replied.
"I just Zi…" Tony replied.
"Will you stand by me?" Ziva asked.
"Yes Zi I will. I will." Tony replied pulling Ziva into a hug.
Jane walked downstairs after checking over Sydney's homework and proof reading a history paper that was due the next day. She found Maddie sitting on the floor playing Hungry Hungry Hippos with Liz.
"Maddie where's J.L.?" Jane asked.
"He's in his room." Maddie replied.
"Whose backpacks are those?" Jane asked pointing to the couch.
"Liz and J.L.'s" Maddie replied.
"Jethro said he was bringing them by." Jane replied.
"Yeah he didn't have time to talk he had to get back to work." Maddie replied.
"I figured. Hey I'm making dinner is Macaroni OK with you guys?" Jane asked.
"Yeah that's fine." Maddie replied.
"Macaroni is my favorite." Liz replied.
Jane got the kids their dinner and then started to get the twins and Sydney ready for bed. Once everything was taken care of and the three younger kids were in bed she sat down to watch TV. Robby came home from work about ten. He tossed his keys in the bowl and headed upstairs to shower.
"Robby can I talk to you?" Jane asked.
"Yeah?" Robby asked.
"Jethro's team has a case so I am watching the twins tonight. I have to be at work by five so I was wondering if you could drop the twins off at school. They go to W.W. Burrows with Syd but they have never ridden the bus before." Jane replied.
"They can go to daycare right?" Robby asked.
"Yes Jethro leaves them there every morning." Jane replied.
"Alright" Robby replied.
"Thanks well I need to get to bed." Jane replied.
"Night mom." Robby replied.
Jane said goodnight to Maddie and then went to bed. She woke up two hours later to something climbing on her. When her eyes adjusted to the light she saw J.L. curled up close to her.
"Hello" Jane greeted.
"Is it OK I'm here?" J.L. asked.
"Yeah it's just fine." Jane replied pulling the small boy close to her.
