Tony was freaking out.
"McGee you got to get me out of here. Ziva needs me. Our baby needs me. I can't miss this." Tony yelled.
When McGee and Tony were finally off the elevator, McGee was running with Tony to the Labor and Delivery unit. McGee stopped at the nurse's desk out of breath.
"We are here for Ziva DiNozzo." McGee said in between breaths.
"Who is the father?" the nurse asked folding her arms.
Tony could tell she was asking something and was giving McGee some sass. He looked at McGee trying to figure out what the nurse said.
"He is" McGee said pointing to Tony.
"Can he not answer for himself." The nurse smarted off.
"He is deaf ok. He is or as I should say was a special agent with NCIS and I have you know he was a damn good agent. He's deaf not dumb. Now tell me where his wife is before I start going through each one of these rooms and finding her myself." McGee spat back.
"She's in room 1042"
"Where is Ziva, I need to get to her" Tony yelled.
"Thank you." McGee said running down the hallway with Tony. "We are getting there Tony." McGee said and then realized that Tony didn't even hear what he said.
They finally got right outside Ziva's room. McGee could hear her screaming inside. 'sounds painful in there.' He thought. He knocked on the door. Gibbs swung it open revealing Ziva in the room screaming and crying wanting Tony.
"My dear he just came in." Ducky said trying to calm Ziva down.
"It's about time you get here McGee." Gibbs said taking ahold of Tony's wheelchair.
"Ok boss I will be out in the waiting room." McGee said getting the door shut in his face.
After her last contraction was over Ziva raised her head up to find Tony had just rolled in.
Gibbs wheeled him over to the side of the bed so he could be with his wife. Tony took her hand.
"Hey Zee I'm here." Tony said as he went to kiss her hand.
"Oh ….." Ziva said mid sentence as another hard contraction hit. She squeezed Tony's hand until he could no longer feel it.
"Zee, Ziva let go of the hand, ow ow let go of the hand." Tony said as she let out a scream of pain.
Tony was frantic he knew she was in pain but didn't know how to help her. Ducky tried to calm him as Gibbs ran a cool rag over Ziva's forehead. Ducky tries to fill Tony in on what had happened. He signs to him that her what had already broke, that chances are she was in labor over night and didn't realize it, that she was dilated to an 8 and with that that she should be able to start pushing before too long. Gibbs and Ducky both didn't know if Tony could tolerate the stress after all he had been through the past months. They are afraid he will get too exhausted.
"Boss help me stand up. I need to be with my wife." Tony yells at Gibbs.
Are you sure you want to stand right now? It may still be a while.
"I want to stand now boss. I need to stand and help my wife through this."
Gibbs nodded his head and came over to Tony. He helped Tony stand and let Tony grab a hold of the bed rails. He stood right beside Tony just in case he needed to sit down really quick.
"Ziva you got this just breathe." Tony said. Ziva gave him a smile and reached up for his face. She was so glad that he was able to be there for her. She put her hand down just as another contraction hit.
"Tony DiNozzo why did you do this to me. It's all your fault." Ziva screamed.
Tony just stood there. Ziva had turned onto her side and he was trying to rub her back. He had no idea she was chewing him out.
"I want drugs. Please Gibbs find me some drugs, I can't take this pain anymore. Ducky I know you can get drugs." Ziva screamed.
"My dear, you are too far into your labor to have an epidural. The next thing is to start pushing." Ducky said.
Ziva started saying something in Hebrew which Gibbs and McGee could only imagine was curse words.
Dr. Anderson came into the room.
"How are we doing?" Dr. Anderson asked.
"How does it look like I'm doing?" Ziva spat back.
"Let's go ahead and check you again Mrs. DiNozzo."
Ducky stood on the other side of the bed and signed to Tony everything the doctor was saying while Gibbs helped Tony stay stable on his feet.
"Mrs. DiNozzo, it's time. Your dilated to a 10 and the baby has already started crowning. I need you to give me a big push." The doctor explained as he counted to ten. Ziva pushed with all her might and screamed in agonizing pain.
"You're doing great honey." Tony told Ziva.
Another push and the doctor looked up at Ziva.
"Ok the baby's head is out. I need you to give me one more big push and get the rest of the baby."
With all her might and hearing the doctor yell push, Ziva pushed and their little Baby DiNozzo was born.
"It's a girl!" Dr. Anderson said holding up the baby.
"it's a girl! Ziva said grabbing Tony's face and laying a kiss on his lips.
"Mr. DiNozzo, would you like to cut the cord?" the doctor asked.
Gibbs helped Tony into his wheelchair and asked him.
"Yes please!" Tony answered.
With Gibbs help they were able to cut her cord. A nurse cleaned the little girl up a little bit and handed her to Gibbs. With Gibbs supporting the baby's weight, Tony attempts to hold his baby girl.
"Have you guys picked out a name?" Ducky asked.
"Jennifer Caitlin DiNozzo" Ziva answered.
Tony looked down at his daughter. She had thick black hair. "She's my little Katie." Tony said with the realization he was a father setting in. Katie opened her big green eyes and smiled. It brought tears to Tony's eyes as well as Ziva's. The baby is then handed over to Ziva.
"Happy Birthday Miss Katie." Ziva said. "Your Ima and Aba love you."
Tony was able to lay in the bed next to Ziva as they marveled at their baby girl.
Gibbs walked out into the waiting room where McGee, Abby and the Palmers were waiting.
"Gibbs, is everything alright?" Abby asked.
"Everything's perfect! It's a girl! Jennifer Caitlin DiNozzo born September 8th at 12:55 pm. 9lbs 14 oz. 24inches long."
"Poor Ziva, she had a chunky baby." McGee said.
"She does have the cutest chubby cheeks." Gibbs admitted.
"Can we see her?" Abby asked.
Gibbs smiled as the team followed him back down to ZIva's room. He was one proud Papa Gibbs.
How will the rest of the team react to the new baby and the meaning behind her name? New chapter up soon! Please review!
