Tony's surgery went off without a hitch. Ziva was able to be by his side as they started to take off the bandages. She grabbed a hold of his hand. She knew he had to be nervous because she was very nervous."

"We tried to make Agent DiNozzo look as much as he did before the accident. He will still be really red due to the surgery and will have some scaring on his face but we tried our best to give you back who you once knew." The doctor said starting to unwrap the bandages.

Ziva's first look at Tony's face was pure shock. She could see a little bit of her beloved Tony in their especially in his eyes. You could see the definition of his face. Before the accident he had a fuller face, now it seemed to be a lot slimmer. It would take a while to get used to a slimmer face but she still loved him. The doctor handed Tony a mirror so he could see his face for the first time since the accident.

"let's see this handsome devil" Tony joked.

As he raised the mirror up to his face, his smile went away. He didn't look anything like he did before. He began to cry. His chin was shorter, his jawline was too defined, and his cheeks sunk in. not to mention all the redness and scares. He slowly put the mirror back down.

"I look like a hideous beast." Tony cried.

No you are very handsome Ziva wrote.

It took some getting used to but Tony came to grips with he would never look the same again.

With more surgeries and grafts Tony looked similar to himself. He had even made the comment that he looked a lot like Chris Pine, of course going back to his movie references. After being in the burn unit for 4 months, Tony and Ziva found out that he would be moving to the hospitals rehab unit.

Ziva was starting to pick up on some sign language thanks to Gibbs and Abby while Tony was learning to read it.

"Can you run home and get me some shorts and soft t-shirts? I have a feeling I will start working out pretty soon." Tony joked.

Of course my love Ziva signed.

The hospital staff showed Tony and Ziva to his new room. He was put into a private room due to the grafts and surgeries making him at higher risk for infection. Since he had already had sepsis, they didn't want to take any more chances.

I will be back Ziva signed kissing Tony on the forehead.

As she drove home she realized she hadn't been in her own bed for 4 months. She had come accustom to sleeping in the hospital recliner the nurses brought into Tony's room for her. It wasn't very comfortable especially with her growing belly and the little one wanting to kick half the night. She got to their apartment. It was just as they left it 4 months ago, the day of the accident. She laid down across the bed just for a moment. It felt so good that she fell asleep quickly.

Abby was able to arrange the baby shower with the nursing staff. They were going to allow them to have the shower right there in Tony's room. The team knew they didn't have a whole lot of time until Ziva would be back so they tried to work quickly. Tony was so happy that he finally got to be a part of something in this pregnancy. He helped decorate as well as bring in the food and cake. After 2 hours and Ziva had not returned, Tony started to get worried. Did she have an accident? Did she go into labor and is having the baby at home?

"Boss please call Ziva for me." Tony pleaded.

Ziva's phone was laying right next to her. When it started ringing it made her jump. She didn't realize she had been asleep for so long. She looked at her phone and seen it was Gibbs. Panic ensued. Had something happened to Tony?

"Gibbs is everything alright?"

"Everything's fine I was calling to check on you. Tony said you were going home to get some clothes and then you would be back."

"Yeah I'm sorry boss. I fell asleep. I was exhausted with this pregnancy and all the stress with Tony. I am so sorry."

"No need to be."

"I am on my way right now, I'll see ya in a bit."

Gibbs hung up the phone and addressed a worried Tony.

She's on her way. She fell asleep at the apartment. Gibbs signed.

"Oh ok I'm glad she's safe."

Ziva walked onto the rehab unit. A nurse stopped her before she could walk any further.

"Ma'am can I ask who you are on your way to see?" the nurse asked.

"Yes I am going to see Agent Tony DiNozzo in room 832. I'm his wife Ziva DiNozzo."

The nurse smiled "Yes right this way."

The nurse stopped at Tony's room. As the two went in, the light was off. As Ziva went on in the light came on real quick.

"Surprise!" the team yelled.

Ziva was taken back. There were baby decorations all over the room. Ziva started to cry. It was the sweetest thing anyone could ever have done. This was her baby shower, and the team was throwing it for her.

"Are you surprised?" Tony asked her.

Ziva nodded her head.

"Come on you have to open presents!" Abby said very excited.

Gibbs was the first one to give his gift. Since it was too big to bring in he stuck photos down in a sack. Ziva pulled out the pictures that revealed a beautiful crib.

"Gibbs this is beautiful! Did you make this?" Ziva asked.

"Yeah it's sitting down in the basement right now. If you want, I can move it in this evening." Gibbs suggested.

"That would be great! We haven't started to think about the nursery." Ziva admitted.

"Girl you are only weeks away from the baby being here!" Abby mentioned.

It hadn't set in with Ziva or Tony yet. Their little one would be here in just a matter of weeks and they felt very unprepared.

McGee handed his bag to Ziva next. She pulled out a baby monitor.

"It's so you can hear when the baby cries or starts to get fussy." McGee explained.

Gibbs gave him a swift slap to the back of the head. "Seriously McGee, Tony won't be able to even hear the babies first cry." Gibbs whispered.

McGee felt bad about that. He didn't even think. "I will also be setting up a video monitor in the nursery that way you can look in on the baby as it's sleeping."

"That's better McGee." Gibbs whispered.

"Thank you boss."

"Here you go my dear." Ducky said handing his sack to Ziva.

Ziva pulled out a book called Baby's First Autopsy. Ziva came him a look. Tony took the book and busted out laughing.

"Ducky this is great!" Tony said.

"Yes I believe it is never to earlier to teach a child about the human body." Ducky said.

Palmer handed a big sack to Ziva.

"This is actually from both myself and Breena." Palmer explained.

"Please tell her thank you for me Jimmy." Ziva said.

Inside was a baby blanket and crib sheets. Ziva was so thankful that the team knew what they would need because she was totally lost. Abby went last, because in her opinion you had to save the best for last.

Ziva opened a black gift bag and pulled out a onesie that read Daddy's little ninja. It was perfect! Tony grabbed it and put it up to himself.

"Do you think I could fit into this?" Tony joked.

The team smiled and shook their heads. The next little outfit was black and read Future Special Agent DiNozzo. Ziva oohed and awed over this one as well. If this baby was anything like it's parents, it would be a special agent. The last thing in the bag was a stuffed animal. But not just any stuffed animal. This one was a hippo just like Abby's that she called Bert.

"Oh Abby, the baby is going to love this!" Ziva said holding the hippo next to her making it fart. This ensued laughter with everyone on the team, except Tony.

"What is everyone laughing about?" Tony asked.

The laughter went away. Bert the hippo always made Tony laugh when it farted now to not even be able to hear that was heartbreaking to Ziva. Even if life seemed a little bit more normal, in that moment reality hit Ziva that normal was gone. This is their new normal.

What will the baby's nursery look like? Plus it's almost time for Baby DiNozzo who will be coming in the next chapter! How will the team handle Ziva while she's in labor? New chapter up soon! Let me your ideas and please review!
