I wanted to keep the story interesting so I wanted you to doubt Tony and Kate in the first chapters. Were they forced into this or not? I'm sorry if it confused you. I wanted it to be mysterious and a bit scary in the first chapters too. I don't know if I succeeded but I see some are still interested in reading more.

Kate didn't feel well but wanted to say one last thing before they went back to their rooms.
"Please call…Our families…Tell them everything…"Kate managed to say but everyone could tell it was really hard for her to say that.
"We'll call them immediately." The director told her.
"As soon as it's confirmed it is Tony we'll call them and tell them that too. First we'll come up and tell you of course." Abby then said.
It looked like Kate wanted to say something so everyone waited for her to gather strength to say what she wanted to say. Instead she threw up. No one expected that so everyone jumped a little so they wouldn't get it on them and Kate started to feel so bad for throwing up on her oxygen mask, her bed and on the floor.
"I'll get a nurse." The director said hurrying out of the room. She was worried just like everyone else was.
"You'll be ok. This happens. My mother threw up a lot when she was pregnant with me." McGee said wanting her to feel that everything was normal with her condition.
"I can stay here as long as you want." Abby said while going up from her wheelchair even though she had strong orders to take it easy. She went up to find some paper to give to Kate.
"You had orders to sit down in your wheelchair and Mrs Dinozzo I don't think you can handle visitors at the moment. Visiting time is over. Hopefully you can come back tomorrow." The nurse, who came back with the director, said.
Then the doctor came to the room.
"Maybe letting you drink and eat easily digestive food was too early for you. I'll let you get IV instead… As soon as the nurses from your ward can come you're going back to your room." He told Kate and later the rest of the team.
………………….
As soon as everything was cleaned up Kate felt really tired. She had to change clothes, her bed had to be remade and the floor got mopped. She felt so bad for throwing up. So much valuable resource was wasted on her, she thought and all just because she threw up. But most of all she felt bad from throwing up in front of her team. She then remembered when she had thrown up during the beginning of her pregnancy and Tony helping her while she was sick but then no one knew she was pregnant. Tony was so nice, warm, caring and loving towards her during her weakest moments. Every time when she felt bad, because he did so much at home because she was sick he only said that he takes the words in sickness and in health very seriously. Not a day she regretted marrying him so quickly. Look at what they would have lost if they had decided to wait a year she thought. Kate felt even more tired but she didn't want to fall asleep without thinking about something good. She then remembered a day in late August. Kate thought it maybe was that day she got pregnant but she wasn't sure.
----------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------
Tony opened the door and they went in to their house.
"I'm so sorry for Gibbs walking in on us. I should have thought before I let you do that." Tony apologized once again.
"It wasn't your fault. I suggested I should give you a massage. You were tense, we've been through a lot of stress…We've only known for a few days that some terrorists need us for something and we are all trying to come up with a plan to stop them. Who said life was easy? I was trying to make you feel that you didn't have the world on your shoulders. By the way you come up with a wonderful excuse on why I gave you a massage." Kate told her husband. She wanted him to feel better about himself. If he was happy then she was happy.
"So you didn't think that my excuse was lame? Telling him that you lost a bet and had to give both McGee and me a massage…I came up with that so quickly so I couldn't think it through. I thought that if I included McGee it wouldn't seem suspicious and since McGee already knows it wouldn't hurt." Tony told his wife. He felt bad about making her give McGee a massage in front of Gibbs but McGee was really nice about it and when she did it on him he said he only needed a very short massage because he thought his body was relaxed enough.
Tony and Kate knew they owed Abby and McGee a lot since they kept their secret. That's why they had invited them and David for dinner next week.
"Are you hungry?" Kate asked.
"Yeah, but I want to give you a proper massage tonight so if you wouldn't mind eating yesterday's leftovers we can start with that massage as quickly as possible." Tony asked her.
"I don't mind. After today I can need a back rub. It seems that every case we get gets a lot harder to solve. Why are people committing crimes and why do they seem to get more complicated by the second?" Kate wondered even if she knew her last questions were rhetorical.
"I can't answer but a back rub is coming up. I'll put the food in the microwave." Tony said while dashing to the kitchen.
After the dinner Tony gave Kate a massage on their bed but he had another surprise for her.
"I'm going to take a shower but when I come back I have a surprise for you." he told her.
Kate got really curious and watched him when he walked away. She thought she had married the most wonderful and sexiest man alive. She thought this felt like a dream but she knew it wasn't. Even though they were going through some hard times they could still talk and connect as usual and she loved that. When Tony gave her a massage and they talked while he massaged her she felt it was such a intimate moment that was just as great as sex if not even better since they could talk so freely and openly about everything. She adored that moment and never wanted to forget it. Kate hoped there would be more of that in the future.
She got up from her bed and put on her robe. She decided to go downstairs and when she just stepped out of their room Tony came back with a towel around his waist. When he left the room he had only his trousers on but now he looked even sexier with only a towel on. She loved him so much. Tony just looked at her and couldn't believe how great she looked in the robe. His heart lit up every time he saw her and since he married her he knew he couldn't live without her.
"You're needed in the bathroom." He said before he lifted her up in his arms. He carried her into the bathroom and put her down in front of the bathtub. He let her robe slid down on the floor and Kate took of her underwear. Then she slid down in the warm bubbly water which he had filled the tub with.
"It's just for you. Candles and the scent too. I know you love that." Tony said. Then he kissed her and turned around to leave the room.
"Your hair isn't wet so I know you didn't shower." Kate then said but she had an ulterior motive when she said that.
"I wanted to fool you when I was going to get you. I forgot about the hair. Next time I'll wet it." Tony said while turning around again to face her. He went down on his knees so his head would be at the same height as hers. Then he kissed her again.
"I love you." Tony said after kissing her.
"I love you too…I know how you can get your hair wet…Join me…" Kate said while taking some foam and putting it on his nose.
"I love that idea but I didn't do this for that reason. I wanted you to relax and get your mind of things." Tony said hoping she would understand his reasoning.
"You take my mind of things. Please join me." Kate said to him. Tony couldn't resist her and took off his towel and his boxers. Then he slid down in the bathtub.
…………………………………….
Kate smiled when she thought about what happened that evening. It started in the bathroom and ended in the bedroom. She touched her belly and wondered if it was that day her baby was conceived. They often used protection but sometimes they got carried away just like that day. She guessed that since they were married maybe they secretly wanted a baby even though they had never talked about it. Now it was a reality but she didn't worry about how Tony would take the news because she knew he would be just as happy as she was. Sure she got pregnant a little earlier than planned even though they hadn't really decided on when to get pregnant just that it wouldn't be in the upcoming year but sometimes great things are surprises she thought. Kate couldn't stop sleep from overtaking her body so she soon fell asleep.
……………………..A few hours later……………..
"Gibbs, are you awake?" the director quietly whispered in his ears.
"Yes, what is it?" he said opening his eyes.
"It is confirmed that it is Dinozzo. I'm on my way up to tell Todd…Oh, I mean Dinozzo…" the director said.
"Call her Kate. We all do and then the name change won't be a problem for you." Gibbs suggested.
"You can tell the rest when they wake up." The director said before quietly walking out of the room.
"So are you awake?" Gibbs then said as loud as he could which wasn't that loud considering things but they heard.
"Yes…What did…she say?" David wondered.
"It is Tony. Now we can… all go to sleep." Gibbs then said. Everyone fell asleep soon after that. They had had a hard time going to sleep but after Gibbs "ordered" them to go to sleep it was easier but it had more to do with the news than what Gibbs said.
………………..Ten days later………………….
Kate never fully recovered at the hospital so the doctor's told her that she could only travel home which meant she couldn't visit Tony in New York. She had felt so left out since the director, Gibbs, Tony's parents and even her parents had visited him…Abby had been really nice and stayed with her in their house. Kate had been ordered to stay in bed for at least a week before doctors could reassess her health. She hated that but at least she wasn't alone. David came around everyday and even stayed over most of the nights. Everyone felt safer when they were three in the house rather than one or two. They still didn't know if another terrorist cell would come after them after what they did.
But today was not an ordinary day. Tony was coming home. Not literally but he was coming to their military hospital so he could be there for the rest of his hospital stay. He had responded well to the treatment and doctors felt he could handle the transport back home. Kate was going to get out for the first time in five days. It was five days ago she came home from Washington. She was determined to go home when the rest were going home but the doctors told her that it looked like she would have a difficult pregnancy in front of her so she should take it easy. She had followed their orders until now. Kate wanted to be there when Tony arrived to the hospital. She wanted to hold him and kiss him. As soon as he had woken up they had talked to each other on the phone. Tony was thrilled over the pregnancyand he said he hated being without her. They had never been apart since they got married. Today they would be reunited again.
………………………….
Everyone said Tony had been very lucky. They wondered how he could survive without many serious injuries. Tony didn't remember what happened the last three days before the crash but he was told that he had the helicopter pilot's helmet on him, a vest, and pieces of several vests strapped around his legs, arms and back and also other padding. Gibbs had told him that Kate and Abby had the same protective gear on them. It was something all three had come up with in case something would happen to them. Since it was winter it would be easier to hide the fact that they were well protected for both the terrorists and the police which could have shot at them.
Tony was happy that the helmet protected his head so good. His biggest fear was brain damages or memory loss. Losing three days didn't seem important but he hoped he would remember them one day. Now he only thought about seeing his pregnant wife again. He had missed her so much. All Tony could think about was being with her and celebrating Christmas and New Years with her. This holiday would be the first they spent together as married and initially he had wanted them to spend it together in a romantic setting but now he only wished that he would be home by that time. He had so much to tell her and he knew she had too. He counted the minutes until he would see her again. Tony was lying down in a military helicopter and he knew he wasn't far from her now.

I'm still thinking about what I should do with this story. I have much less time on my hands now so I need to think more about when and how this story will end. There will be at least one more chapter. Sorry for the grammar mistakes and spelling. If Word doesn't pick up on my mistakes then it is hard for me to see them by my own. I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter despite of the mistakes.
Feedback is always appreciated.
