"Director Vance, Gibbs and his team are here to see you." Director Vance's secretary said when Gibbs, Ziva, and Tony walked into Vance's office. Vance opened his door and welcomed the three in.
"What can I do for you Agent Gibbs?" Vance asked.
"I think it would be better if Agent's David and DiNozzo told you." Gibbs said looking at his agents.
Ziva looked at Tony.
"Director Vance we need to come clean." Tony started. "Ziva and I are married and we are expecting."
Before Vance could say anything Ziva popped in. "We found out this morning that it's a little girl."
Vance shook his head and rubbed a hand across his face. "Wow, this was not what I was expecting. Well first off congratulations. Second off how long have you guys been married?"
"9 months." Tony answered.
"You have been married for 9 months and haven't taken off for a honeymoon?" Vance asked.
"No, we eloped and then came right back to work." Ziva said.
"Well that changes today. I want you guys to have a week off and go on your honeymoon. Every newlywed couple needs a honeymoon." Vance said.
This was news to Tony's ears. He knew exactly where he was taking Ziva and had already started planning a honeymoon for her.
"Now we need to talk about the pregnancy Agent David. How far along are you?" Vance asked.
"16 weeks." Ziva answered.
"Once you get back from your honeymoon I want you on desk duty. I do not want you out going to crime scenes. We don't have to worry about just your life anymore but also the life of your baby." Vance said.
Tony reached for Ziva's hand. He was glad that Vance was putting her on desk duty. Even though Ziva knew it was for the best, deep down it was tearing her apart. She wanted to be out there investigating crime scenes.
While Ziva, Tony and Gibbs were in Vance's office McGee started planning for what would be the new normal until Ziva had the baby. He started finding paperclips and was locking them up in his desk drawer.
"Tim, what are you doing?" Abby asked.
"It's Ziva, Abby. If her hormones get out of control with this pregnancy she will try to kill us all and she can use a paper clip to do it. I'm not taking that chance." Tim responded.
"Alright then Ziva as of today you will now be on desk duty until after the baby is born." Director Vance said.
"Thank you." Ziva said. The three stood to walk out. Ziva headed back to her desk as Tony lagged behind in the director's office.
"I want to thank you for doing that, putting her on desk duty." Tony said.
"We need her safe Agent DiNozzo." Vance said patting the young agent on the shoulder.
"Can I go ahead and request that time off for our honeymoon?" Tony asked.
"Sure." Vance said.
Tony turned to Gibbs.
"Boss I need your help with something." Tony said flashing his award winning smile.
Once Tony and Gibbs got back to the bullpen, Gibbs got a phone call.
"Yeah Gibbs," a few minutes later Gibbs hung up his phone. We got a dead marine near Norfolk. Gear up."
Tony and McGee grabbed their gear and was right behind Gibbs. Ziva also grabbed her gear out of habit.
"Ziva, you're on desk duty, remember?" Gibbs said.
She sat her gear down with a thud.
"Sorry sweetcheeks." Tony said kissing her forehead before running to catch up with the team.
Ziva sat back in her chair. "This is going to be the longest few months of my life." She then felt something like she had felt before. She started rubbing her bump and it did it again. She could feel her baby kicking. She pulled out her copy of the ultrasound picture and placed it on her desk. She looked over at Tony's desk. She was lucky to have him, and their daughter would be lucky to have him as a father.
5 hours later the team was back in the bullpen just as Ziva was packing up to go home.
"How was the case?" Ziva asked.
"Cut and dry really. The marine committed suicide." Tony answered.
"Tony why don't you and Ziva go on home. You guys have had a big day." Gibbs said with a smile.
"On it boss." Tony said leading his wife to the elevator hand in hand.
"How was your first day of desk duty?" Tony asked while he drove their car to their apartment.
"It was boring and terrible. Then the most wonderful thing happened. I got to feel our little girl kick." Ziva said with a smile.
"You got to feel Katie kick?" Tony asked with a grin.
Ziva nodded her head with excitement.
"Zee I have a surprise for you tonight."
"Oh?"
"I think you're really going to like it!" Tony said confidently.
They walked into the apartment. On the bed laid a beautiful white evening gown.
"Tony what is this?" Ziva asked.
"We are going on a date night. Let me help you into the dress." Tony said.
"Isn't this a little too fancy for a date?" Ziva asked.
"Not for where we are going." Tony said as he zipped her dress up.
He then went to the closet and put on a tux.
"Really a tux?"
"Like I said for where we are going nothing is too good, especially for you." Tony said flashing her a smile.
As they drove to their date Ziva was a bit confused. Instead of going downtown they were in a residential neighborhood. Ziva looked around and realized they were at Gibbs house.
"Tony I'm in an evening dress and you are in a tux and we are at Gibbs house. What is going on?"
"Like I said a surprise for you sweetchecks." Tony smiled. He went around and helped her out of the car. Her small bump was accented very well in the dress and she looked beautiful.
They walked up to Gibbs front door. The older agent opened the door to reveal he was also in a tux.
"Ok what is going on?" Ziva said very confused.
They walked into the living room that was filled with flowers and the rest of the team who were wearing suits and Abby in a black evening gown.
"Welcome to our wedding Zee" Tony whispered into Ziva's ear.
Ziva was about ready to cry. It was so sweet that Tony and the team would go out of their way to give them a wedding.
"Can I take your bride DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah boss." Tony said as he made his way to the front with McGee, Abby and Palmer.
Gibbs walked down the makeshift aisle with Ziva clinging to his arm. Vance, Ducky, and Breena we are sitting in the 'crowd.' When Gibbs dropped Ziva off at the front of the audience he sat down next to Ducky as Palmer started the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved we are here today to join our friends Ziva David and Anthony DiNozzo together in holy matrimony."
Tony and Ziva took the rings as Palmer went on.
"Tony repeat after me. I Anthony DiNozzo Jr." Palmer said.
"I Anthony DiNozzo Jr"
"Take you Ziva David to be my lawfully wedded wife.
"I Ziva David"
"I Ziva David"
"Take you Anthony DiNozzo Jr to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"Take you Anthony DiNozzo Jr to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"In sickness and in health" Palmer said
"In sickness and in health" Tony repeated.
"In good times and bad"
"In good times and bad" Ziva repeated.
"For as long as we both shall live"
"For as long as we both shall live." Tony and Ziva said together placing their rings on each other's fingers.
"Now with the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride." Palmer said.
Tony wrapped his hands around Ziva's neck and laid one heck of a kiss on her. To be able to do it in front of the team didn't bother him at all. He could finally show his love for her.
"Now I would like to give you a little bit of a present." Tony told Ziva. He pulled an envelope out of his tux jacket pocket. Ziva opened the envelope to find two airplane tickets that read round trip to Paris.
"We're going to Paris?" Ziva asked.
"We're going to Paris!" Tony smiled
She hugged him. She couldn't believe that they were going back to Paris.
"But there's also something else." Tony said.
There was a small box inside the envelope. When Ziva opened it there was a key.
"What is this key for?" Ziva questioned.
"It's the key to our new house. We need the room with a baby on the way." Tony said placing his hands on her belly bump. "We move in after we get back from Paris."
Ziva couldn't believe it! First he planned a wedding, then bought tickets for their honeymoon, now is telling her they will have a real house to come home to. She couldn't help but cry tears of joy. With Tony's hands still on her bump he felt something. Then it didn't it again a little bit stronger.
"Was that our baby?" Tony asked.
Through the tears Ziva nodded and whispered "Yes"
"Guys I just felt our baby girl move!" Tony said all beside himself. He was already so in love with Katie just like he was her mother.
"Hey little Katie, this is your daddy." Tony spoke to Ziva's bump. The baby started kicking more when Tony would talk to her. When Ziva tried it she would be still. It was apparent, their little baby Katie was going to be a daddy's girl and have Tony wrapped around her little finger.
