One month later,

Abby's laughter filled the store, as her and Ziva wandered around. Eli laid sleeping in the cart tired from the hours of baby shopping they had been doing. They hadn't bought much, just a car seat and a few stuffed animals. They didn't have much money, but it was kind of fun to just see what they could get in the future. They had to buy Eli a new tee shirt anyways, that boy was always going through them. Either it from how rough he played, or the way he seemed to spill everything on his shirt. One day that boy was going to be a little rebel.

"When you going to tell Jethro?" Ziva asked, changing the topic for something funny to something serious. Abby's smiled faded as she thought of how to say she hadn't. Ziva had been trying to encourage her to do it for weeks now. Four to be exact.

"I'm not sure he needs to worry about it." Abby said running her hand along a row of plush teddy bears.

"I understand, it's just knowing Jethro he would want to know right away." Ziva said stopping the cart. She brushed the stray hair out of her son's face, and smiled gently at the way he sleep. Just like his father.

"I know." She said watching Ziva. She moved and found a teddy a teddy bear she liked, tossing it gently in next to Eli. The young boy stirred, but did not wake from his slumber. That boy could sleep through anything, just like someone else she knew. They didn't really mention that name anymore though. It was only mentioned when they were talking about little Eli sometimes. That little boy had gone through more then most people do before their ten. He is small, and doesn't quite understand whats going on. Even though deep down he probably did.

"Tony still claims she had kissed him." Ziva said letting the name slip out her lips. Abby looked at her curiously.

"You talked to him?" She asked slightly shocked. She had basically said she would never talk to that man again, they had a child though. She kind of had to.

"Yeah, last night when you were sleeping." She said not shifting her eyes away from Abby's. She really hated it when she did things like that.

"You didn't want Tony to speak to his son?" Abby knew this was the reason, but she asked anyways. She need to know for sure, even though she probably did deep down. She always has had a knack for reading her best friend. It's kinda just how it works.

"He doesn't deserve to."

"Zi, you have got to figure out the full story before you do things like that. You haven't even talked to him enough to get it." Abby placed a hand on her friends shoulder. Sympathy filling her eyes.

"I understand what your getting at Abby. But he was kissing someone other then me, right here" She said pointing to her lips gently. Abby just sighed, and pushed the cart to the front of the store. This wasn't something that was going to be resolved easily.

Tony opened his eyes, closing them again as he realized how harsh the light was. He laid his head back down the the cool material under him, opening his eyes slowly. He realized he laid on the hard wood floor, that he found himself on to much these days. It was like the floor was his new bed. He didn't dare go back to the bed that he and his wife had shared. It still lingered of her smell, and if laid down on the bed he imagined Ziva. He missed her more then he probably would ever admit. It was worse then when she was sent to Israel.

"Tony! Open up!" Tim's voice floated through the door. His fists started to bang on the door. He knew that Tony was in here. He hadn't left the room in who knows how long. He hadn't gone to classes in that long either. He really did need to get his act together. "I know your in there!"

"Go away!" Tony shouted back, not ready to talk to anyone but his wife. He hadn't seen his son in a month either.

"Tony, open up." A sweeter voice entered his ear. Zara had come to? Was he really that pathetic? Just because he felt comforted by Zara's voice he got up off the floor and moved to the door. He unlocked it and pulled it open. Tim and Zara stood there, Tim had a look of disappointment, and Zara looked sympathetic. She always seemed to understand the situation, no matter how bad it was.

"Come in." Tony said irritation lacing his voice. They all walked in and sat on the couch.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom." Zara said getting up casually, and leaving the boys to talk. They had more to talk about then Ziva, Tim had some news.

"Ziva's still upset." Tony said rubbing his hand over his eyes,

"I can't blame her." Tim said doing the same. He looked up at him in surprise, wasn't Tim supposed to be on Tony's side? The young computer major had taken sides, and Tony didn't like it.

"I didn't kiss Jeanne, she kissed me. I pushed her away." Tony said trying to explain it.

"Yeah but she doesn't believe that. Tony I'm not taking sides, I'm just saying that she doesn't understand the full situation. I believe you, because I know how much you love her. She always had doubts on if you truly loved her, or if you were only with her because of Eli." Tim said summing up what Ziva had felt over the past few months. It was a deep set pain that had been growing, and now in her mind; she had proof.

"Its not true." Tony said.

"You and I know that, but they girls take their own side. Zara is on mine, for one reason and thats only because she trusts me."

"Lucky." Tony said making Tim chuckle slightly. He was very lucky to have Zara. He needed to get his friends mind off the bad, and tell him his good news. Something that he thought would never happen to him, and it made him very happy.

"I have something to tell you." Tim said trying to change the topic. Tony looked up at him curiously. "It's about me and Zara." He added quickly.

"What?" Tony asked. Tim took a big breath, and his facial expression turned serious. He didn't want the friend that sat in front of him to not understand.

"You know how we've been taking care of her little brother?" Tim asked, his tone changing suddenly to a lighter one of love.

"Yes." Tony said still confused on were this was going.

"Well she asked me to start going to church with her like four months ago, because she hated trying to. handle that little boy alone. I got really interested in what her religion was about, and some missionary's came to see me. We talked about their church and what it's all about. I've decided to get baptized into their church." Tim said summing up basically what he had hidden from his friends; He was afraid what they were going to think.

"Your going to be a Mormon?" Tony asked shocked.

"Yes." Tim said. He was afraid that Tony would laugh, but he didn't. Tony had never been opposed to Zara's religion, he just never believed in it. He was happy for his friend, for finding a religion that he felt comfortable in.

"I'm happy for you." Tony said smiling slightly.

"Your not freaked out?" Tim asked and Tony shook his head in response. "Zara and I are getting married in a year or so." Tim said.

"Congratulations." Tony said his smiled getting bigger. He patted his surrogate brother on the arm. Zara made her appearance again, a smirk had appeared up on her face. That probably was the reason she had left, so that the two of them could discuss that. She gave her new "brother-in-law" a hug. At least that had gone well, and there was slight happiness in their world.

Okay, so I promised I wouldn't bring my religion in lets imagine it as spicing it up
