Hey, everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long! This last month has been crazy with school, home, and everything in between. Thank you to those who are still with me. This chapter would have been longer, but now since Ziva's getting close to the end of her pregnancy, I'm having trouble with what to write now. Anyway, here is the next chapter! I hope you enjoy it!

Tony and Ziva didn't have enough time to set up all the baby gear they got at their shower, so they just left it in the living room. Napping was the only thing on their minds right now. It was nearly 4:30 by the time they both woke up. It had been a long morning and neither of them cared what time it was, they just needed a break.

The next day they went through their refrigerator, saw how much extra food they had left, and invited McGee and Abby over. They were more than willing to take some off their hands. After they left they decided to sit on the couch and read some of their Baby Love cards from their baby shower.

All of them were so thoughtful and some were even humorous. Abby purposefully left the team's cards for last. They each took a turn reading one out loud. Tony started.

Love, Grandpa Gibbs"

Tony was truly touched by Gibbs' kind words. He looked over to Ziva and saw that she had tears coming down her cheeks. He put down the cards and wrapped his arms around her.

The next week at work Ziva started to notice something odd happening. Every time the team was called out on a case she would find herself getting anxious. Even if they just left to interview someone, she would be scared for Tony. She didn't want to worry about him, but she couldn't help it. She assumed it was because her due date was nearing and she didn't want anything to happen to him. It was almost as if she didn't want him leaving her sight, which was so unlike her. Any reassuring flutter from the baby calmed her down, but she still kept her worries in the back of her mind. Every time he came back she would breath a sigh of relief, glad that he was back safe.

At the end of the week Tony and Ziva were laying in bed, she was reading and he was on his phone. After several minutes of silence Tony decided to speak up. "Hey, I've noticed this week that you seemed to be more tense. Is everything okay?"

Ziva sighed and sat forward, hoping that he wouldn't have noticed, but unfortunately, Tony was too observant. "Yeah, I'm fine, there's just this one thing that's bothering me?"

"Well, what is it?" He rubbed her back. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Every time you guys got called out during the case, even if it was just to pick up someone, I got scared. I was afraid that every time you went out you were not going to come back."

Tony smiled sympathetically. "Oh, come here." He opened his arms for her, which she gladly accepted. She curled up against him, her head on his chest. Tears silently began to fall as he wrapped his arms around her. "Listen, I will always come back to you. Always. I don't care if I am halfway around the world. I will always come back to you. I'm not going anywhere. Okay?"

Ziva sniffled and nodded.

"I love you. And when you love someone, they are worth fighting for. And when something is worth fighting, you never stop fighting for it." He leaned down and kissed her head. "Here, maybe this will help you." He leaned over to the iHome on the bedside table and put on some classical music. "There, is that better?"

"She seems to think so." Ziva said as the baby fluttered in her stomach. Tony moved his hand to stroke her stomach gently.

"Good, let's get to sleep." He said as they settled down.

"Tony?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, Zi." Suddenly the baby kicked her hard and they laughed. "I love you too, baby girl."

Tony and Ziva settled further into their bed. He picked up his phone off of the end table. "Oh, that reminds me. I found a name that I like. I love it, actually." He handed her his phone. A huge smile flashed across her face after she saw the name.

"Tony." She said, nearly breathless.

"What? Do you hate it?

"No, I don't."

"Then why do you sound so shocked."

"Because that's her name."

"It is?"

"Yes, see for yourself." He placed his hand on her stomach and said the name to the baby a few times, asking her if that was her name. Each time the baby would respond with a few kicks, making them laugh.

"You're right. That's her name." Tony said, kissing Ziva.

Soon after they fell asleep, happy that their baby girl now had a name.


A/N: Well, there you have it. I hopefully won't take this long with the next update. That last episode of NCIS was hard to watch. I was both squealing and crying at the same time. When he pulled her necklace out of his pocket on the plane, the tears started to fall. Please rate and review!
