Hey readers! Here's your next chapter!

Tony's POV

I smiled as I sat back in the leather seats of McGee's Porsche, my eyes closed as I felt the hum of the car moving beneath me.

I had finally been discharged from the hospital, though I had only stayed there under Ziva's command. I would've only been there a week if it weren't for Ziva wanting to make sure it was absolutely safe to come home and that I was getting the right PT for my shoulder.

"You ok, Tony?" McGee asked.

"Yeah, just a little excited," I admitted.

"Ziva doesn't know you're coming home today, does she?"

"Nope. I bought her a necklace as well, for her birthday." I opened my eyes and looked at McGee. "Everything's ready, right? All a surprise?"

McGee nodded as he kept his eyes on the road. "Abby kept Ziva out of the house whilst we set everything up."

I nodded. "That's good." I smiled. "I hope she'll be surprised."

"She will be, Tony, she will."

Ziva's POV

I sighed as Abby made me walk with a blindfold on. "Abby, where are we going?"

"You'll see," she said simply before pushing me forward. I sighed and complied, walking forward as she guided me wherever we were going. Finally, she pulled me to a stop.

"Ok, pull off the blindfold!"

I pulled off the blindfold.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

I jumped as everyone yelled. What the…

I looked around the room, which had blue and green streamers hung all over the walls. To the left was a table covered with bowls of food, but what caught my attention was the huge banner hung over the TV. It read 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZIVA!'

Tears welled in my eyes. "Thank you, everyone!" I looked around the room, and realized not everyone was there. "Where is McGee?"

"Out getting your birthday present," Abby said, waving the matter aside. "Now let's party!"

I laughed as everyone cheered, and headed straight for the food table. There were samosas, spring rolls, chips and many other types of party foods. I picked up a spring roll and ate it. It was delicious.

About an hour or so later, Abby announced it was time for me to cut the cake. She pulled me to a table, where a huge rectangular cake, that I suspected was mainly frosting, stood. I smiled as I stood behind it, holding the knife.

"Wait!" Andy called out. "Let's do the presents first!"

Abby seemed to realize there was a hidden meaning behind it, and agreed. I immediately became suspicious.

Abby sat me down on the sofa and handed me a present, which was from Andy and Mukta. I opened it, and found it was a sea-blue bracelet with matching earrings. I smiled.

"Thank you, Andy and Mukta."

They smiled at me and nodded. I picked up the next present. It was from Katie and Rebecca. They'd gotten me the same bracelet and earrings as Andy and Mukta, but these were in green instead of blue. I loved them.

"Thank you, Rebecca and Katie."

They smiled at me and nodded. The doorbell rang.

"Oh, that must be McGee with your birthday present!" Abby jumped up and went to answer the door. I frowned until McGee and Abby actually returned with the present. I was ecstatic when I saw it.

"Tony!" I exclaimed as I jumped up and hugged him tightly, minding his arm. He hugged me back.

"Happy birthday, Ziva," he murmured into my ear. He stepped back and pulled a box out of his pocket. "I got you a present."

"You did not have to get me a present," I told him, cupping his cheek.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll just take this…" he started putting the box away.

"No, no. It is my present," I snatched the box off him and opened it… and then I gasped.

In the box was a beautiful necklace. The chain was silver, although I was sure I could see small diamonds on it. The actual pendant was a Star of David, and was also sliver, but the outline of it had emeralds engraved in it. I thought it was beautiful, and that is exactly what I told Tony.

"Well, I wanted to make your first birthday as a married couple a special one, and I didn't get to get you a present last year because of the wedding…"

I kissed him gently on the lips, ignoring the whistles from the people watching, before saying, "Giving me that ring was the best present you could have ever gotten me, Tony."

All the women awed as Tony grinned. "Thanks, sweetcheeks."

"Ok, enough of the kissy-kissy," Abby said. She handed me another present. "Open it."

I looked down at the box and shook it cautiously. It was from Tony's frat brothers, so I knew something bad would come of it. After tossing it, turning it and shaking it a few times I finally pulled off the wrapper.

"What?" I glared at Tony as soon as I saw what was in the box. "What did you tell them?"

Tony rubbed the back of his neck with his good hand. "I might have over-exaggerated a little about your bra size."

I stared at him incredulously. "A little?"

"Maybe a lot?"

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Maybe?"

Tony sighed. "Fine, then: I over-exaggerated a lot. Happy?"

"What did they get you, Ziva?" Andy asked. I held up the bras. All the women stared at it before turning to stare at the men.

"You actually thought her boobs would be that big?" Rebecca asked. All four men blushed.

"Maybe…" Matt muttered. Everyone in the room laughed.

I smiled as I put the present down. "Thank you for the present. It was very… considerate of you."

The four men nodded, blushing harder. Everyone laughed.

Tony's POV

After Ziva opened all of her presents, it was finally time to cut the cake. Abby walked in holding the knife. Ziva was grinning as she stood behind the cake, holding the knife. Matt nudged me.

"What?" I asked.

"Go stand with your wife!" he whispered. I sighed and stood up, joining Ziva beside the cake. She smiled up at me and leaned into me.

"Watch my arm," I warned her. She nodded.

"Hold the knife handle, Tony," she said. I held the knife with my good hand, my hand resting on top of hers.

"You ready?" I asked. Ziva nodded. Abby smiled.

"Sing!" she yelled.

"Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Ziva…"

"My crazy little ninja chick…" I added. Ziva laughed.

"Happy birthday to you!"

"Three cheers for Ziva! Hip, hip!" Abby called out.

"Hooray!" everyone responded.

"Hip, hip!"

"Hooray!"

"Hip, hip!"

"Hooray!"

Ziva and I pushed down on the knife, making a cut in the cake, as people too pictures. We smiled at each other.

"Happy birthday, Ziva," I said before pulling her into a deep kiss. I felt Ziva smile against my lips, and I knew what she was thinking:

Best birthday ever.
