This story picks up from Family First (13x24) after Kort is killed.

Fornell looked up from the newspaper he was reading and saw Tony DiNozzo and his daughter standing in the doorway.

'DiNozzo? What are you doing here?'

'Came to see you, Fornell. Didn't we Tali? Tali giggled and nodded. She thrusted a piece of paper in front of Fornell.

'For me?' he asked. Tali nodded again. It was an envelope containing a card. Fornell opened it. Tali had clearly drawn the front of the card and a little bit inside too. Ziva had written a short message as well. Get Well Soon. 'Thank you Tali' said Fornell, kissing her cheek. She giggled again as Fornell put the card up next to his, amongst all the other cards he had received.

Tony set Tali down by the chair in the room and she started playing with her toys; figurines of Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Tony turned back to Fornell

'I heard you were the one who kill Kort' said Fornell, quietly.

'Well, I fired the first shot. I think everyone wanted a piece of him and I'm not sure which bullet actually killed him.' Tony looked at Tali. 'It doesn't matter. He is gone and Tali is safe. That is all that matters.'

'Hear, hear, 'breathed Fornell. He would have liked to have taken a shot at Kort himself, but he was unfortunately chained to a hospital bed, if not by doctors and nurses, by his own daughter, Emily. Fornell didn't know what he would have done if Emily had been attacked in her own home. He had already suffered her being kidnapped three years ago.

'I heard you're resigning' said Fornell.

'Yeah, I am. Spend time with family.' Tony paused. 'Tali has been in protective custody twice and knew something bad happened. She didn't want me to leave the other day. Freaked both Ziva and I out.' Fornell nodded his understanding. He had considered something similar when Diane died.

'Dada' came Tali's voice. Tony looked down and saw Tali wrap her arms around his leg.

'Yes, Bean?'

'See Papa?' Tony smiled and picked Tali up.

'Yes, let's go see Papa.' Tali clapped and gave Tony a big smile.

'Thank Ziva for me' said Fornell. 'For looking after Emily.' Tony chuckled and nodded. 'And if she could drop off some food, that would be great.'

'Hospital food getting to you?'

'I swear it's the same stuff every day.' Tony laughed.

'I'll let Ziva know. You going to say bye?' he asked Tali. Tali waved.

'Bu-bu.'

'Bye Tali' said Fornell, also waving a little. He liked seeing Tali. She reminded him of when Emily was that little.

'See you soon Fornell' said Tony, shaking Fornell's hand. 'I'll send Ziva over.'

'Thanks, DiNozzo.'

Tony and Ziva sat in the examination room at their doctors. Tali was with Senior, having a playdate with the grandchild of one of the women who lived in Senior's building. Tony was a little sceptical at first. Was his father using Tali to get dates? However, Tony gave in when he saw how excited Tali was to play with her new friend.

Ziva swung her legs under the bed in the room. She was wearing an examination gown, one of those gowns that really flatters the wearer.

The door opened and a nurse came in, reading Ziva's medical file.

'So, Mrs DiNozzo, you believe you are roughly eight weeks pregnant?' Ziva nodded.

'Yes, my last period was in March.'

'OK, then. Shall we have a look?' Ziva smiled and laid down on the bed. Tony moved so that he could see the screen.

The nurse picked up the probe and started examining the area in question. Ziva squirmed a little. She had forgotten how uncomfortable it could be getting an ultrasound. The nurse moved the probe around, trying to find the baby. Why did it always take so long? thought Tony.

Eventually, though, the nurse found what she was looking for.

'There we are' she said, happily. 'There is your baby.' She pointed to the screen for Tony and Ziva to see. Both had massive grins on their face. Baby no. 2! 'You are correct, Mrs DiNozzo. You are eight weeks pregnant.' Tony leant over and kissed Ziva. 'I take it you would like some pictures to take with you?'

'Yes please' said Tony, still grinning.

After they left the doctor's office, Tony and Ziva nipped into a coffee shop before picking up Tali. Both were glued to the ultrasound pictures they had.

'When do you want to tell people?' asked Tony. Ziva thought for a moment.

'After we get back from our holiday.'

'Yeah?'

'And after Tali's birthday. I do not want to steal her lightning.' Tony laughed.

'Thunder, Zi. You don't want to steal Tali's thunder.'

'Whatever' said Ziva, as she took a mouthful of chocolate croissant.

'How about Ducky's 4th of July party? Everyone will be there.' Ziva thought for a second.

'Yes, that sounds like a good idea. We can tell Tali before we go.'

'Not earlier?'

'She could tell your father, Tony, and whilst I know he will love another grandchild, I just want you and me to enjoy this bit ourselves.' Ziva reached over and took Tony's hand.

'OK, Zi. 4th of July it is.' They kissed. 'Are we going to do it like last time?' Ziva raised an eyebrow. 'Not finding out the gender and a home birth?'

'Oh. I had not thought about it much. It has only been a week since I took the test, Tony, but yes. It worked last time.'

'I love it when a plan comes together' said Tony.

'Oh, I know that one. There is four of them. Four men, or is it five?' said Ziva, as she tried to remember how many members of the A-Team there were. Tony took a sip of coffee, a massive grin across his face.

I started writing this a couple of weeks ago. I was going to wait until after 17x01 airs but I couldn't wait any longer. I don't know how often I'm going to post. I have also kind of lost my inspiration for A Month of Sundays and Endless Possibilities but as they are both collections of one-offs, I'm not too concerned.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it.
