"It's time to push, Ziva." the doctor said.
"I know that it is, I'm not ready to though."
"You have to though, Ziva. The baby wants to come." Tony said.
"I KNOW THAT!" Ziva said at the top of lungs.
Tali had a gut feeling about why Ziva was hesitant about the delivery of the baby.
"Aba, Doc, can we have a moment before everything gets underway?"
Tony nodded an okay as Tali turned to her mother's doctor for an answer.
"Sure, you two can have a minute or two."
With that, Tony and the doctor stepped outside of the suite.
"Ima, what's going on? Why are you so nervous about this?" Tali questioned.
"I've told you why before."
"Things were different eighteen years ago when you had me. Aba is here, and from what I saw before, the whole team is outside waiting for the baby's arrival. We have family in here with us. Eighteen years ago, you were flying solo because Aba had no idea that you were pregnant with me. Everything will be fine, I promise." Tali said reassuring.
Ziva waited a moment after Tali had finished talking. But Tali didn't need a verbal answer from her mother to know that she was right. Tali then left her mother's side to get her father and her mother's doctor to come back into the suite.
"All ready to go then?" the doctor questioned.
Ziva nodded as Tony came back to her bed side and took one of her hands in his. Tali was back sitting in the chair she had previously been in before she helped Ziva.
"Well then, it's time to push." the doctor said once again.
"Okay." Ziva said.
Ziva's doctor guided her through each push until the baby's head started to crown. Tony's hand was in a great deal of pain, but he would deal with it.
"Alright then, Ziva, one more big push like the last one and your family of three will be a family of four."
You can do this, Ziva. You've gotten this far.
I know you can do this, sis.
You did this before when Tali was born, you can do it again.
Having her sister, the woman she had replaced on Gibbs' team and her former partner/friend turned boss for some time had given her some words of encouragement gave Ziva what she need for the last push she had to give to welcome the newest addition to the DiNozzo- David family.
Ziva pushed one last time as she was instructed to all the while letting out a scream at the top of her lungs. Ziva's scream subsided once she heard the cry of her baby once it had made its debut.
"Ziva, Tony, I'd like to introduce you to your healthy baby boy." the doctor said as he held up Baby DiNozzo for the new parents to see for the first time.
After a few minutes, Tali was able to meet her baby brother for the first time before he had been handed over to the nurse that was in the suite for the delivery. The nurse cleaned the baby up and swaddled him in a blanket before she placed a newborn hat on the baby's head. Once everything was squared away with the baby, the nurse handed him over to his mother who was now surround by her daughter and her significant other.
"Do we have a name for this little guy yet?"
Tony, Ziva and Tali were in complete awe of the baby.
"At the moment, no we don't have a name for him." Ziva answered.
"Alright, when you come up with a name then let me know." the nurse said as she left the delivery suite.
The now family of four had some time to themselves before they were joined by their NCIS family. Just after, Ziva had delivered the baby, she had stopped seeing the others from the other side that she had seen during labor and delivery she had just gone through. When it was just the four of them, Tali had let her parents know that everyone from the other side that had been in the suite with them had given their congratulations and departed for a while.
